I look back down at my book. “Just planning out some things,” I tell him.
He nods. “Do you wanna hear what I’m working on?”
My mouth is hanging open, catching flies as my mom would say. I have no words for the feelings bubbling up inside me. He actually wants me to hear what he’s writing. I would be hearing something before the guys.
“You really want me to hear it?” I ask him when I finally find my voice.
“I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t.” He makes it seem like it’s not a big deal, and maybe to him it’s not. But for me, it’s more than a little bit surprising.
“Oh” is all I say.
“Ace doesn’t let you hear what he’s writing, does he?”
I laugh. “No, he doesn’t. But to be fair to Aiden, I haven’t been around him when he’s writing lately.”
He shrugs. “I’d like you to hear what I’ve got going on.”
I smile and turn my body so that I’m facing him.
He clears his throat and adjusts the guitar, sneaking a peek at me from behind his lashes as he begins. Soft strumming is coming from the guitar. I watch his fingers work the strings. He plays them just as well as he plays me.
There’s a change in the air.
I can feel it building.
Something I’ve never felt before.
A love so pure and true.
Hiding from the rest
I would sacrifice my heart for you.
I would sacrifice my life for you.
For you
Derek continues to sing about love and what he would do for the woman in the song. I get the feeling he means me. I know I’m right when the song comes to an end. He looks up at me, shining bright with love. “What did you think?” His brows are furrowed in concern.
I smile brightly at him. “I loved it. Was that song about me?”
“Who else would it be about?” He sets his guitar down beside his leg.
“I don’t know. I thought maybe—”
“No, don’t you even say her name and ruin this moment for you. I can tell I’m about to score because you clearly loved that song.”
I giggle. “I did. I loved it.” I lean over and kiss his cheek, but he grabs me and steals a kiss from me.
I yip, lose balance, and end up sitting on his lap.
“Now, this I really like.” He turns my body so that I’m straddling him. “Yep, this I really like.”
He chuckles and begins trailing kisses up and down my neck. I moan in appreciation. “It looks like you really like this too,” he teases.
“I do,” I reply, leaning into him.
“Do you need to keep working? Or can we take this into the likes of the bedroom?” he asks me. I lean back, surprised by his question. I would have thought they would have just taken me right here.
