“Yeah, we’re here.”

She climbs out of the car. Wrapping her arm around my waist, I wrap mine around her shoulders and we walk inside. Hollywood, Kicks, and Ratchet walk in right before us.

“Hollywood! You’re back.” Carmine, the newest cut bunny, flashes a big, toothy smile at him. Tink’s body goes rigid and her eyes widen. She slips out from under my arm and walks over to Hollywood. He instantly envelopes her in his arms. I can’t help but laugh as Carmine’s face falls. Her eyes go from them to me and back to them. Her confusion makes Kicks and Ratchet laugh, too.

“Let’s get you to bed,” Hollywood says to Tink. They walk down the hallway and I follow.

Carmine stops me. “Since he’s with her, why don’t you and I have some fun tonight?”

“Fuck off, Carmine.” I grab a change of clothes from my room before going into Tink’s room.

“I need a shower before I go to bed,” she says after I close the door.

“Need any help?” I tease.

Her eyes flutter between me and Hollywood. “I wouldn’t mind some company.”

She winks at us and heads for the bathroom, slipping her shirt over her head as she goes. I look to Hollywood, who’s grinning from ear to ear.

“You ready for this?” I say to him.

His eyes lock on mine. “I’ve never been more ready.”
