Chapter 41
As I pulled into the parking lot of the warehouse where Craig had instructed me to go, I already missed Logan, but I quickly pushed the thought aside, determined to make a good first impression on my band. What would they be like? Would they be as good as Logan’s band? I took one step at a time, and then paused for a moment with my hand on the door when warm-up rifts rushed to my ears.“The hell with it,” I said as I screwed up my courage and pulled the door open abruptly.The music was immediately magnified as I stepped in and closed the door behind me. The lead guitarist’s fingers flew over the neck of his electric guitar, sending a thrill through me as the music penetrated my soul. Beside him, the bass and rhythm guitar players kept time with the beat of the drummer, as if it were no effort. They were good. Really good.The drummer looked up, eyeing me from across the room, and immediately stopped. “May I help you?”

The bass guitarist stepped forward with his hand extended. “Shawn Simmons. That was priceless,” he said, flipping his reddish brown hair out of his eyes. It was long in the front, but collar length in the back and sides, and wavy.“Nice to meet you,” I replied, laughing as I shook his hand. Somehow, I already felt at home with this group of guys. In fact, it was almost as if we had known each other for a while and not that we’d just met.The drummer stretched across his drum set, extending his hand to me as a strand of short brown hair fell into his eyes. “Wyatt Ryker,” he said, laughing. “That was so cool!” He nodded toward his blond friend. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen him at a loss for words before.”“Ass,” Brett mumbled under his breath as he turned his attention back to his guitar. “It was an honest mistake. She looks young.” Then, he looked over at me. &l

Brett looked up from packing away his things, too. “Honey, you’re one of the best guitarists I’ve ever seen. You were born for this.”I laughed. “Why, thank you, Brett! Is that a compliment?”He smiled as one corner of his lips curled into a smile. “Yeah, but don’t get too used to it.”Laughing, I crossed the room to the door and waved over my shoulder. “Don’t worry. I won’t,” I joked. “I’ll see you guys tomorrow. Same time?”Noah looked up from packing his equipment. “Sounds good.”Everyone sounded their agreement. It was great to have a band of my own. I was curious about their story—if they had been playing together long, or if Craig had put them together—but, for now, I didn’t want to over think it. I just wanted to enjoy the moment. They were the perfect band for me.“Wait up, Alyssa,” Craig said, bri

“Did you bring your things?” I asked, eager for him to move in.“I brought just a few things for now,” he said as he pushed the key into his jeans pocket. “I’ll bring the rest later. But right now, I want you.” His lips crushed down on mine, almost an assault, as he supported me with one arm under my ass and then ran the other hand through my hair. He walked over to the couch, unable to wait for the bedroom, and sat down with me on his lap. My breath quickened as I felt his rock hard erection through both of our jeans. He looked into my eyes as his fingers slid into my hair, pulling my head toward him.I pulled his shirt up his back, enjoying the feel of his tight muscles under my fingers. He broke the kiss just long enough for me to pull his shirt off and throw it onto the floor, and then pressed his lips to mine as he fumbled with the buttons on my shirt. “Oh, fuck it,” he said and them ripped it open.I la

I spent the next few days in rehearsals with my band during the day, and with Logan every night. We were getting into a groove, Logan and I, settling into a rhythm with our lives.“We’re not going to practice tomorrow, but let’s get to the Powder Keg Tavern a bit early to warm up,” I said to my band after rehearsal the night before our first public concert.“Sounds good,” Brett said as he laid his guitar in its case.Over the past week, we had tightened our songs to perfection. I nodded as I laid my guitar in its case.A moment later, a hand rested on my back. I turned around and it was Noah. “Don’t worry, lass. You’re ready. We’re all ready.”I nodded and then wrapped my arms around his broad shoulders and pulled him in for a hug. Over the past week, he had become a teddy bear—like a brother to me. “Thanks, Noah,” I said, and then patted his back as I pulled back.

I pulled up in front of my apartment, and Logan’s car was already there. I sat in my car, thinking about what Craig had said, and started to fume all over again. How dare he say that about Logan? But as I thought about it, I knew that it was nothing against Logan. Craig would have said that about any guy that I dated. I took a deep breath and silently vowed not to tell Logan what Craig had said, knowing that he would hit the roof.I walked into the apartment, and the scent of rich Italian cuisine rushed to me. I inhaled the tangy scent, letting it wash away my anger toward Craig. “Hey, honey! I’m home!” I bellowed as I stepped in.“There she is!” Logan said as he peeked his head around the corner from the kitchen. “Come on in! I poured you a glass of wine.”I smiled. It was good to come home to Logan. He made everything beautiful just by being there. “Wow! Something smells great!” I said as I wrapped my

He shook his head as he took another bite of pasta, listening.“But they were good parents,” I said, stirring my pasta as I thought of them. “One good thing about them being teachers was that they were always home when I got there.”Logan nodded as his eyebrows pulled together, lost in thought.“What are you thinking?” I asked as I took a bite of the delicious garlic bread and moaned.He shrugged. “Nothing. I was just thinking of how lucky you were to have parents who cared enough to be there for you when you needed them.”I smiled as I shook my head. “Sometimes, they were there a bit too much. Both my mother or my father was at school, and then they were there when I got home, too.” I laughed without humor. “Try getting a date when you’re the daughter of an English teacher. Between us, I wondered if my father secretly threatened them to stay away from me.”Logan l

I gasped as he pushed into me as he pulled me to him. I leaned back and braced myself against the table as I slid my legs over his shoulder. He watched as he pulled in and out of me, and sensitizing my whole body. He took my breath away with his urgency as he fucked me, pushing harder and faster. Then, he slid his hands under my back and lifted my breasts to his lips as he sucked and flicked my nipples then released me and moved his fingers to my clit, grazing it with his thumb as he fucked me hard, until he sent me over the edge. I screamed out in orgasm and he covered my moans with his lips as his tongue entered my mouth, swirling around mine, never slowing his pulls.A moment later, he moaned into my mouth as his cock swelled and his cum shot off inside of me as my walls clamped down around him, sending me over the edge again. “Don’t stop!” I moaned as my spirit soared with his until all I could see or feel was Logan as I moaned in orgasm.Soon, ou

“Are you coming tonight?” I asked Logan as I slipped into a shimmering, black top and matching black jeans the next evening, preparing for my first gig. Since we both had gigs, we spent the day in bed.He kissed me on the forehead. “That just depends. Are you coming straight home?”I caught his double meaning. “Ha, ha. I mean, are you coming to my gig tonight?”He shook his head. “We have to be at the Double Shot Saloon soon.”I let out a deep breath. “I’ll see you later tonight, then?”He took me into his arms and pulled me between his legs as he sat on the bed and looked deeply into my eyes. “You can count on it.” Then, he placed his head on my belly and gave me a gentle hug.I smiled thoughtfully as I ran my fingers through his sun streaked hair. “I wish we were going on tour together.”“Yeah; me, too,” he said without looking at m

I knew that I’d better get used to this fast. Soon, I would be playing gigs in stadiums filled with people. But I quickly pushed the thought aside when the band rushed past me, off the stage.The lead guitarist noticed my guitar and gave me a quick wink. “Break a leg, but not literally.”I nodded, trying to force a smile, but finding no words.He folded his arms across his broad chest and watched me walk past. Then he stopped me. “Take a deep breath,” he said as his curly brown hair fell into his big blue eyes. “That stage is yours! Own it! Claim it!”I nodded, and then turned to face the stage.He gave me a gentle nudge on the back. When I looked around, he was smiling. Off to the side, Craig gave him a dirty look. Across the stage, in the wings, was my band. Noah made eye contact with me and smiled. Then, he gave me a thumbs up.In that moment, I turned my nerves into adrenaline and let it fill my
