“I haven’t.”
Wait. Did I hear him correctly? “What?”
He leaned back and threw his arms behind his head. “For fuck’s sake, it’s a show. I haven’t slept with anyone since Nina…well, since we were together. It’s a long story.”
“I know the long story.”
That got his attention. He bolted upright. “She told you? Sawyer, I swear, I thought it was Nina. They looked a lot alike. I was so fucked out of my mind. I remembered pulling away from the bitch, and she fucking convinced me she was Nina. I woke up the next morning, and Nina was gone. I only have pieces of that night.”
The pieces began to fall into place. “That’s why she doesn’t go to clubs anymore, isn’t it?”
“Yeah. I never wanted the threesome. I thought she did, so I went with it.”
Both had wanted to make the other happy. “Do you want her back? For real? Don’t say yes if you’re not serious.”
There was no hesitation. “More than anything.”
“I’m going to try and help you. I think there’s hope.”
Edge stood, paced a few steps, and then stopped in front of me. “Are you fucking with me right now, Sawyer? I can’t handle it if you are.”
“I swear. Not at all. I have one more question, and you better not say a word if you want my help.”
He pinched the bridge of his nose. “Okaaay. What is it?”
I stood and met Edge’s stare. Most women probably backed down from this intense rocker. Good thing I knew he had a gooey center or I might have, too. “You cannot tell Nina.”
“Fine. What is it?”
“Did you know Nina was a virgin when you slept with her?”
“What. The. Fuck.” Shock was clear on his face. Then it was replaced with fear. “The stuff I did to her. Shit. Sawyer, I need to find her.”
I grabbed his arm. “You can’t. You’ll piss away your chance. And you promised.”
Even with my warning, he took a few steps. Panicked, I yelled. “You’ll lose her! It’ll embarrass her.”
Edge grabbed his hair behind his head. “I’m so stupid. I knew she wasn’t experienced. And she was tight, but there was no blood.”
Ugh, more details than I need. I tried to wave it off, but he ignored me and kept talking. “When I asked her, she said it had been awhile. A long while. I believed her. Shit!”
Get this back on track. “You’re going to need to romance her, Edge. Show her what she means to you. And she’s going to push you away, but you’ll have to stay the course.”
“What? I know nothing about that shit.”
I touched Edge’s shoulder and smiled. “And that’s why I’m going to help you. Let me get a plan together. But you have to calm down and act normal. Otherwise you’ll blow it.”
“You’d do that?”
I dropped my hand and leaned against the couch. Fatigue had ebbed its way in. “Yeah, of course. You guys are family.”
Kurt climbed the steps at the front of the bus, exhaustion written all over his face.
“How’d it go?”
Without pausing, he pulled me to him, his hand resting on my stomach. “Security is going to get tighter, and we’re going to limit access backstage.”
“I hate that you’re going through all this for me.”
