I need to talk to someone else? I like talking to you, Grant. I’m really hoping you can help me.”
    “No, of course I can. Whatever you need. What’s going on?”
    “It’s just…” I chewed on my bottom lip. Trevor ran a finger along the flesh and pulled it away from my teeth, his brows raised. I stuck my tongue out at him. “I had this email address—to get a hold of her, you know? And I swore I put it in my phone, and now I can’t find it anywhere. Can you give it to me?”
    “Of course.” Grant rattled off Chloe’s contact information.
    I traded a few more quips with him about The Hoarde , and gave him a friendly thank you before hanging up.
    “God, you are fantastic, Kitten.” Evan threw his head back with a barking laugh. “Absolutely brilliant.”
    “I second that,” Trevor said.
    I was already typing an email out to Chloe, including the guys’ user names in the message and letting her know we could issue a formal Cease-and-Desist to Rinslet to take the photo sites down, but we were hoping it wasn’t necessary. As an afterthought, I added PS— Grant says hi.
    Within moments, I had a reply, congratulating us on being the first to crack the clues, telling me the sites would all be gone within minutes, and implying they hadn’t even thought to check security on the Tech Support side of things. She wrapped it up by letting me know they were giving everyone else new clues, and the next phase of the game would start in the morning.
    “Well?” Two pairs of eyes watched, expectantly.
    I read Chloe’s email out loud. “As of now, we’re in the lead.”
    “Fuck, yeah!”
    I was surrounded by cheers, high fives and hugs. I sank into it all, lingering on the happiness. This was so much fun. It was a shame it wouldn’t last once the con was over. There was no way I could keep this up twenty-four-seven. I might as well enjoy it now.

Chapter Seven
    Evan and Trevor didn’t seem to be in a hurry to get anywhere else. The three of us hung out, hit up various panels, and wandered through the Dealers’ Room more times than I could count. I’d never had so much fun doing random things. Innuendo and jokes flowed between us. It seemed like no topic was off limits, and that included quantum theory and whether or not Hentai—animated Japanese porn—was a legitimate art form.
    The clock crept toward five, and then the afternoon blasted into evening. None of us mentioned going our separate ways, and with no real lags in conversation, I wasn’t going to be the one to cut things short. We took a break from the crowds, to stroll a few blocks and grab dinner at a tiny place Trevor swore had the best Tiramisu in existence. I had to agree, and it wasn’t only because it was too fun taking turns feeding each other. I tried to ignore the fading light outside, and that it meant this day would end sooner rather than later.
    My phone buzzed with a text from Jackson. Never heard back. You’re good?
    I frowned at the message, guilt marring my good mood. I’m sorry. I should have let you know. It was just a game, apparently. Explain more when you get here.
    His reply came through a moment later. About that… Zoe’s working late. We don’t want to go without her. See you there tomorrow?
    Totally. I couldn’t ignore my ambivalence. On the one hand, I’d been looking forward to hanging out with Jackson, his boyfriend Carter, and their girlfriend Zoe. On the other, if they weren’t here, I didn’t have to choose who to spend time with.
    Evan covered my hand with his. That seemed to be his default—a hint of contact here, a light touch there. I didn’t mind. “Everything okay?” he asked.
    “It’s all good.” I grabbed my smile. Might as well focus on the positive. “My friends can’t make it until tomorrow.”
    “So no one’s going to notice if we kidnap you?” he asked with a teasing grin.
    I painted on a wide-eyed look of shock. “Oh no, mister. Are you going to steal me away and tie me up and do
