“So, you just graduated from high school, huh?” Logan asked as we walked out to my car.I popped the hood, and Logan picked up my suitcase. “I’ll get that,” I said, reaching for it, but he pulled it out of my reach.“No. I’ll get it.” His muscles flexed under his T-shirt under the weight of the suitcase. “You haven’t answered my question.”“Does it make that much of a difference?” I asked. But from the look on his face, I could see that it did.He shrugged. “I’m just trying to wrap my head around it is all.”I nodded. “Are you in college?”“I just graduated from NYU and came here.” He adjusted the suitcase, shifting it to his other hand. “What do you have in here? Bricks?”I laughed. “I’ll carry it if it’s too heavy for you.” He gave me a dirty look, and I laughed. “What was

I drove around town, looking for an apartment, biding my time until it was time to go to the studio. Then, I thought of Logan’s apartment building. He had said that there were apartments available there. I sighed, wondering if it would be too weird to get an apartment so near Logan.The hell with it, I thought as I quickly turned the car around and headed back to his apartment complex. My heart raced at the possibility of seeing Logan again, but I quickly pushed the thought aside. After all, I was going on tour for God knew how long and I had no idea when I’d be back. He would probably have a girlfriend by then, and would have forgotten all about me. But it was a chance I would have to take.After parking my car in front of the office, I walked inside. Luckily, it was out of sight from Logan’s apartment. I didn’t want him to think I was stalking him or something. As I walked in, I was a bit leery, not sure if I wanted to start something with Log

“There she is!” Frank greeted me at the door as I rushed in. “Alyssa, this is Sam and Bill. They’ll take good care of you during your session today.” Frank turned to leave, then he added, “By the way, your band is waiting in the sound room for you … where you should be right now, so go!”I smiled, then hurried into the sound booth, and was stunned when I walked in, for there, tuning his guitar, was Logan and his friends. Microphones set all over the room. Even the drums were mic-ed!“So, you decided to come after all?” I asked, looking over my shoulder at Logan as I hurried to set my guitar case down and quickly flipped it open.A broad smile spread across his face as he shrugged. “Well, the guys talked me into it.”I slipped my guitar strap over my shoulder and struck a chord, checking to see if it was tuned. “Ah … you just can’t stay away from me,” I teased

Frank nodded as he bit his lower lip. “Okay, but make it quick. We’re wasting valuable studio time.”“You got it!” Mason said, and then walked quickly toward the door, motioning for us to follow. He walked out the back of the studio. The sun shone down brightly in the sky, but a warm breeze was blowing. “What the hell were you thinking in there?” Mason asked, turning on Logan. “Man, we have a shot to go on tour …”“As a backup band!” Logan interjected as his eyes flared.“He said that we could do our originals, too!” Kyle interjected, trying to keep his voice down.“Yeah, but what do we do when the crowd is chanting her name?” Logan replied.It felt as if he had just slapped me in the face. “Well, you guys hash it out, but I’m going in.” I needed to leave before I said something that I would regret.“Wait a minute…&

We spent the rest of the afternoon doing only my songs. During the whole session, Frank never asked to hear more of Logan’s songs. I had no idea if I would ever see Logan or the guys again after this day, but I vowed to enjoy our time together while it lasted. We spent the whole afternoon laughing and playing. We all worked so hard that day, but I was so high on adrenaline that I never felt tired at all.“That’s a wrap!” Frank said later that day, and we all cheered.“Already?” I teased, hating to see the day come to an end.Frank laughed. “Aren’t you tired yet?”“Are you kidding?” I asked, letting my fingers fly over the neck of my guitar one last time. “This is the most fun I’ve ever had!”Frank looked over at Sam, and then back at me. “We ran over our studio time, but it was worth it. We got enough for a full album.” Then, he looked over at Kyle, who

I walked around the waiting room, and then over to the glass double doors. The sun was already starting to set over the horizon as shades of red, orange, pink, and yellow streaked across the sky. A yawn escaped my lips as I started feeling the effects of the day. In fact, so much had happened over the course of the last few days that it was taking its toll on me. I was suddenly so tired that I was ready to fall asleep where I stood.“Hey, sugar,” an older woman said in a pronounced southern drawl from behind the receptionist desk, interrupting another one of my yawns. “Do you have a place to stay?”I laughed. “Yes, I do,” I said, and then set down my guitar case and my purse. “I’m just waiting for one of the guys.”She nodded. “Rex?”I laughed so hard that it definitely woke me up. “Not just no, but hell no.”The woman laughed. “It’s just as well.” Then,

I was so tired that I was no longer responsible for my actions. But, somehow, I didn’t think that defense would hold up in court.“Well, shall we?” he asked.I nodded, and then turned toward Bobbie Jo. “Thanks, again.”“Just remember what I said,” she said, rearranging the same stack of papers on her desk, obviously trying to look busy.I laughed. “I will.” Then, I nodded toward Logan and he followed me out the door.It was already dark outside as we walked through the sliding glass doors to the parking lot. I was glad that Logan was there to walk me out as I stopped and looked around. “Well, it’s a good thing I’m taking you home because it looks like the guys left you.”Logan laughed. “Yeah. They were pretty tired.”I smiled as we headed toward my car, my guitar case suddenly feeling like a lead weight.“So, you have a place now, hu

Logan set down his guitar and looked around as we entered the apartment, then headed toward the kitchen. “Wow! This is great! How many bedrooms do you have?”I set my guitar down against the wall and placed my keys on a side table near the door. “One,” I said as I walked into the kitchen, where Logan was hard at work unpacking milk, cereal, coffee, tea, sugar … temporary things that I would need. “What in the world?”Logan looked up from the refrigerator after sliding in the milk. “I just got you a few things.”“I don’t drink coffee,” I said, not sure if Logan was planning on staying overnight. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it, as I’d only known him for a few days. “Or, at least, I haven’t until now.”“Have you ever tried it?” he asked, pulling a coffee maker out of the cabinet.“Wow! You sure know your way around a kitchen.&rdq

I nodded, then reached up and touched my lips gently to his. He responded, wrapping his arms around me as he pulled me across his lap, never breaking the kiss. A moment later, he pulled back and gave me one last sweet kiss, letting his breathing slow. “Alyssa, I know we’ve just met, but it feels as if I’ve known you all my life.”I nodded, looking up into his bedroom eyes. “I know. I feel the same way.”He ran his finger gently over my cheek and then down my neck as he looked at me through his lashes. I wondered if that was how he looked at a woman when he made love to her.I snuggled into his chest, but he slid down so that he was lying on the couch. I started to get up to let him get comfortable, but he stopped me, saying in a low voice, “Don’t leave. Come here.”“Logan, we just met…”“Do you trust me?”I smiled. “Despite my better judgment, yes, of

Then, he closed his eyes and leaned back as he ran his fingers through his hair, as if torn between what was right and what he wanted. He bent down and French kissed me, allowing me to taste my own juices on his lips. Then, he pulled back, breathless. “Not tonight. Don’t get up. I’ll get you a towel.”He hurried down the hallway toward the bathroom, and I already felt his absence. He was back a moment later and ran a warm, wet rag between my legs, and then dried me off with a towel. “Stand up a minute.”I did as he asked and he lay down on the couch toward the back, still shirtless, but with his jeans still on. “Come here.”I lay down beside him on the couch. He easily turned my body around so that he was spooning me from behind, and then pulled the blanket over his both.I could feel his rock-hard erection through his jeans resting between my ass cheeks as he cupped my breast with his hand.He whispe
