I get to feed the meter while Knight stands behind me, trying not to laugh. He holds out his hand when I’m done. The twins left two quarters in the coin holder I put in the glove compartment so when they want to go the arcade near the house. I’m going to have to get more because they’ve only gone twice and they’re all gone.
“Since I have you here, I was wondering if you could help me the band’s color preferences, I know it’s black, but I want to incorporate something specific
to the others.”
“Uh, sure,” he agrees. “What are we talking about?”
“Just colors so I know how to highlight their clothes.”
“Um, can I ask what you’re designing?”
“You haven’t spoken to Felicity?” I ask, pointing at a bakery shop. He opens the glass door for us.
“My manager, Felicity?”
“Yeah,” I laugh.
“I have not. Not for a while. Have you?”
“Yeah, Rip introduced her to me back at the ranch when you were still struggling with your wolf. We’re kind of friends now. I sent her some designs and she approved one and sent me everyone’s measurements. She let me have complete creativity.”
“Really? That’s great. And off because she doesn’t let anyone touch our show stuff.”
“Oh, it’s not for your show. It’s for the Flames of Desire music video.”
“She let you have full creativity on my video?” he asks pensively. “Can I see?”
“I told her I would run it by her before I showed you the finished order.” I shake my head. We walk up to the counter and the lady already knows what!

“Would you like to try the strawberries and banana toppings this time?” she asks me.
“Yes, please,” I agree. She looks up at him, but he’s already off in another world. “Knight, do you want something?”
“I’ll have whatever you’re having,” he says and goes over to the tea tables by the window.
“Two, please,” I roll my eyes. “I might have ruined his day.”
“Nothing like a sweet snack to brighten it. I’ll bring them over, Alpha Rizen,” she bows. “And if you get me an autograph, it’s on the house.”
“You got it,” I laugh.
He doesn’t notice when I go out to the car to get the small pictures Felicity sent me after I made the suggestion. I wanted to have him sign them so he can pull them out like I do my business cards, or I can do it for him. Especially when we’re in a hurry and trying to avoid the paparazzi. My phone begins to ring in my pocket as I’m making my way back inside.
“Hey,” oh, shit. I think I’m in trouble. “Felicity.”
“Phoebs, you weren’t supposed to tell him. He’s going to be freaking out now. Knightly is like the biggest diva. It was supposed to be a secret.”
“Oh,” I groan. “You should have told me. I asked him about the colors everyone likes. I didn’t mean to.”
“You’re going to have to show him the designs. The big, pretty binder and the fabrics. And I want you to brace yourself because he can be a piece of shit

when it comes to this. If he likes it, I’m sorry, but he might make some changes of his own.”
“Okay, don’t worry about it.” I agree.
“I have to. It’s literally my job to make sure he’s happy with the label. Call me back as soon as you can.”
“Of course.” I walk back into the shop to see him scrolling through his phone. “Hey,”
“Hey,” he says without looking at me. I place my hand over his screen, and he shuts his eyes.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s not your fault, it’s hers for doing something without informing me first,” he shakes his head.
“Knight, I can show you the designs. It’s not a big deal.”
“It’s a big deal to me. This is the only thing that belongs to me. It’s not something that was handed to me. I worked my ass off for this, and it has to be he stops.
“Perfect. I get it.” I reach for his hand. “I didn’t want to upset you. I think you’re going to love it. If you don’t like the design, I’ll drop it. Problem solved.
