It was hard not to be annoyed though. He didn’t show up on the dirt and disrupttheirshow.
He had no idea what Paul was going to go home and tell the brass. Jesus.
Of course, what were they going to say? The former boss had naughty friends?
He dreaded looking at his phone now, though, because his cowboy was a wicked bastard. He had no intention of doing so until they’d finished breaking down.
“Sorry about the safety guys.”
“Oh, don’t be. Safety is what it’s about, right? Maybe a little over the top, but I had a bunch of folks to talk to after they left. It’s all good.”
All good. Huh. “I was pretty embarrassed.”
Paul leaned closer to him and winked. “I think that was their intention.”
He snorted. “No doubt.”
“Dude, it was funny. We made sales. The tall skinny one? He likes you, I think.”
“Pfft.”He likes my ass. But I think he’s warming up to me. “I’ve known him a long while.”
He sent me a dick pic.
He should be grossed out, right? Horrified? They weren’t twenty-year-olds. He wasn’t though, and it had made him blush. Jack had a great dick.
“Well, I think so.”
“Maybe.” He hoped.
They finished packing up and stowing everything for the flight home.
“I’ll handle the shipping with the hotel folks.” Paul was all business.
“You sure? Did you want to go to the show tonight?”
“Nah, I don’t think tonight. I want to get all the orders in, and I have some other things I need to handle. I have an early flight tomorrow. I want to get home and see my kids before bedtime.” Paul had good priorities, but why sit in your hotel room when you had a free ticket to bull riding?
“Ah. Cool. My flight back isn’t until later. I wanted to see the short-go.” Hudson wanted to see Jack.
“Short-go?”
“The Sunday show.”
“Oh, okay. Wow. You really do like this, huh?”
He did. A lot. And he could watch Jack ride any time. “It’s a great sport. I don’t have anyone to get home to, so there’s no rush.”
“Well, cool. Enjoy it.”
They shook hands. “See you back in Denver.”
He wandered through the emptying space, watching the hotel staff deal with all the mess and chaos like it was nothing. He guessed to them it really wasn’t.
Lord knew Jack brought chaos into his life. Even at once a year, it was… utter?—
His phone buzzed again.
