Insanity.

The cool factor was above and beyond. The videos alone were going to be epic.

What was his band doing?

Bitching.

Jesus.

He climbed up onto a pair of couches stacked on a dais along the side of the room. The small venue had two different modes. Coffee house with seats of all different flavors dotting the space, and completely cleared out. He’d seen Brandon Flowers at this venue and it had been packed from wall to wall.

One of the best experiences of his damn life. One of the reasons he’d pushed to add this place to their roster of small gigs. Back to basics. Warning Sign needed that. To remember why they liked playing together in the first place.

Ryan had been distant, Molly had been growing ever more diva-like, and Mal had dropped all pretense of civility these days. Michael was wrapped up in family. With good reason of course, but good goddamn, it felt like most of them were on separate planes. Jules and Elle were the only ones he didn’t have to worry about.

Jules loved the stage more than breath.

Elle came alive the moment her guitar was in her hands.

That was what this was supposed to be about.

He loved turning a crowd in their favor. Whether it was him doing something insane on stage or Molly’s siren voice, or when it was truly perfect and they were all in synch. Those were the moments he lived for.

He glanced toward the front of the venue. And now he had a new problem. He’d been worried about getting too attached to this strange and wonderful woman who’d crashed into his life sans shirt. And now Lo was in the middle of his fans with a huge smile and questions bubbling out of her lush mouth.

The same mouth that had been stretched around his cock an hour ago. He stretched his arms over his head and cracked his neck. He felt fucking phenomenal. Water number three and he almost felt human. He was fairly sure he’d dumped out a good gallon of it with Lauren.

A fuck had never become such an pivotal moment in his life. He was still trying to process it. Hell, he wasn’t sure he’d ever truly be able to piece together what happened. She’d blown every bit of knowledge he had about taking care of a woman and made him question how he could ever manage to top it.

She matched him in every way.

From pure exuberance to the fun factor he couldn’t quite get over. Again, she’d twisted every past experience into a mere soundcheck versus the real deal. She was the big show that would forever change him. Not just the sunshine and gut wringing orgasms, but her curiosity and overwhelming need to try just about every damn thing.

They’d run out of condoms before the room service guy had enough time to get upstairs. It was probably the only reason he’d managed to make it to the venue at all. They’d only had time to scarf down some food before it was time to leave.

“There you are.”

West blinked in and focused on Michael standing below him. “Hey, was I late?”

“Nah, you just skipped out on the event. I can’t imagine what you were doing.”

He grinned and hopped down off the dais. “The bus isn’t exactly private.”

“I know that all too well.” Michael’s cheeks burned.

“Speaking of. How’s Chloe doing?”

“Miserable. Pissy. Beautiful.”

West grinned. “Sap.”

“I don’t believe you’re too far away from that status, my friend.”

He was afraid his best friend was correct. And that was too scary to contemplate right now. Especially when his skin still carried her scent. “Why are we here so early? Is there some sort of signing or picture thing?”

“You know how Lila is.”

“You step-mother is insane.” And it explained why Mal was so testy. Whenever Lila was around, he went from asshole to all around prick.
