“Thank you, Emma.” Just his sexy smooth voice in my ear is turning me on. We are slowly moving to the beat of the music, staring at each other. It is beginning to feel more intimate, not just sexual. I smile at him and he leans down to press another kiss to my lips. This time I bite his bottom lip, licking it afterwards. I am rewarded with a soft growl. It makes me want to do so much more, and explore every inch of his solid body. Just as I am pushing my tongue into his mouth he pulls away. I open my eyes to see what the hell is going on. He is looking over his shoulder, talking to one of the waitresses. Fuck, it’s like every time we have a second together, he is needed again. He shakes his head and turns back to me with a pouty face. “I need to get back over to the bar; they are having a problem with a customer. I’m sorry.” He kisses below my ear where he was just whispering, and before I can even formulate a response, he is walking toward the bar. I feel my body sag, so I blow out a sigh.

“Hey, don’t get all mopey. Th

at guy has it bad for you. He is just busy, Em.” I turn my disappointed face toward Rowan.

“I know, Ro.” I don’t want to admit to even her that I am sad he keeps having to walk away. It’s ridiculous to even have those thoughts. “Let’s go to the bathroom and freshen up.” I grab her hand and walk toward the back where I noticed the bathrooms were. We have to walk down a darkened hallway, and I’ll be honest, if I wasn’t holding Rowan’s hand, I probably would just hold it. When you enter the hallway, the noise lessens dramatically, and it is dark except for a door at the end of the hallway leading outside. It has a small bit of light coming in the tiny square window. I shake off the creepy feeling and push open the bathroom door. The light is bright compared to the hallway, so I squint when we first walk in. We both make our way to different stalls. “Not going to lie, that hallway is something you’d see in a fucking horror film. Gives me the creeps,” I say. She laughs and I brace myself for her response.

“Emma, you are unreal. Stop being such a baby. It’s a dark hallway, that’s it.” We both walk over to the sink to wash our hands.

“I know it’s just a hallway, bitch. I’m just saying it was creepy, that’s all. Anyway, fill me in on what Roy boy was saying to you.” She smirks at me through the mirror, reapplying her lip stick. It actually amazes me what she can fit in a wristlet purse. I look at myself while I wait on her to answer. Everything is still looking good. I turn back to her and lean against the sink, raising my eyebrows. She laughs as she is running her hand through her hair.

“Well, he didn’t invite me to his bed if that’s what you’re getting at. We just talked about how sexy we both are.” I throw my head back laughing. She’s so full of shit. “Alright, we just talked normal meeting someone conversation, how old we are, and what I did for a living because obviously, I know his. Where we live, shit like that. Although we were pretty much eye fucking while doing it.” Now that I believe.

“Alright my eye-fucking friend. Let’s go finish listening to Wicked Union. Seriously Ro, they are fantastic I-would-see-them-in-concert good.” She agrees and we make our way back into the scary hallway. She is a few steps in front of me, which is not making me happy. Just as I open my mouth to yell for her, a hand touches my arm. I scream bloody murder, and throw my elbow back hitting the toucher.

“Emma, what the fuck!” Rowan yells when I try to run past her. She grabs my arm, much harder than the toucher did. “Emma, fucking relax. You just elbowed Cooper in the stomach, you crazy bitch.” It takes a second for what she said to sink in. I spin around to see Cooper holding his stomach. Oh fuck me. I slowly walk toward him, because I don’t know what he is thinking. I stop a few steps away from him and he looks down at me.

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry, Cooper. You scared me. Did I hurt you?” He starts to laugh and for just a second I want to elbow him again. Just to prove I can hurt him.

“Yea that fucking hurt. Shit, you might be a tiny thing, but you can hit.” He pulls me in for a hug, and I melt into his arms. “I’m sorry I scared you, doll.” I pull back and smile up at him.

“I’m sorry I hurt you. I was just telling Rowan how this hallway creeps me out and when you touched me, I just over reacted.” I feel the rumble of his laugh from his chest.

“Well, no one can say you don’t know how to protect yourself, that’s for damn sure. I guess you’re right, I should invest in a few lights for this hallway.”

“Ya think?” We both laugh and it feels so good being in his arms, that I don’t give a shit about being in the creepy hallway anymore.

“I actually came looking for you for a reason. Wicked Union is almost done playing, and Levi, Ryder, and Hunter just came. Levi said he would cover for me so I could take a little break. I would like to show you my apartment, if you are good with that.” Does he really think he needs to ask? I’m practically exploding with sexual tension, and maybe, just maybe, he could help with that. It is after all his fault.

AFTER SHE AGREED TO COME back to my place, I wanted to throw her against the wall and have my way with her. Of course, a group of people happen to be coming down the hall just then. Unfuckingreal. Every time I get my arms around her, someone is interrupting. That’s exactly what I told Levi and he said he’d cover for me. This is why he is my best friend; he’s always got my back.

Emma and I walk back to the bar to wait for Wicked Union to finish up. I need to thank them and give them some money. I can’t afford to pay the bands a lot, but I give them what I can. Most of them are just grateful for the exposure, so they don’t care. I knew Emma would like Wicked Union. They have such a great sound, and I knew she would appreciate it as much as I do.

Once we make it to the bar, I’m happy to see Rowan hanging out with the guys, Roy included. I laugh to myself because with the way he was looking at her, I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up having breakfast tomorrow morning. I wrap my arms around Emma from behind, and she turns her head to smile at me. Every fucking time she smiles, my heart races. A short break is not nearly enough time with her, but I’ll take what I can get.

“Thanks ya’ll for being a great crowd as always. We have one last song; it is our newest original, By Your Side. Hope ya’ll like it.” We all turn to watch them play their last song. As soon as the sticks hit the drums, I smile. The bass and guitar join in playing a fast beat that I can feel pumping through me. Once Steve, the lead singer, starts with the vocals, I feel Emma start to dance in my arms. Christ, the way she gets my dick’s attention is ridiculous. I look over my shoulder to make sure Roy doesn’t need help, but it has slowed down a bit and he is talking with Rowan. I turn my attention back toward the stage and Emma rubbing her sweet ass on me. I know she can feel my cock pressing against her, and I don’t give a shit, I want her to know what she does to me. I pull her closer to me and rub my thumbs on her stomach. We start to slowly move together, similar to how we danced last night. I bend my head and lick the shell of her ear.

“I’ve never wanted someone as badly as I want you, Emma. And believe me that is not just a line of bullshit.” I push my rock-hard cock against her again, just to make my point. She throws her arms around my neck, and I bend because she is so short I know she is straining to reach. She turns her head and our mouths collide. It is an aggressive kiss, a kiss that tells me she wants me as badly as I want her.

“Wow, can’t save that shit for the bedroom.” Emma pulls away from me so quickly that I still have my damn tongue out like a fucking cat. I turn my head not at all wanting to see this bitch, but I need to tell her to go to hell. It’s Shelly, my ex. She loves to show up at the bar to either rub it in my face she is with someone or make a scene when I am. Before I can even get a word out, Levi is right there.

“I didn’t know you were allowed to leave the corner so early.” Fucking Levi, he’s just going to make this worse.

“Enough, Levi. Shelly, what do you want?” As soon as I speak, Emma tenses in my arms. I squeeze her to try to reassure her that she has nothing to worry about. The only thing this bitch Shelly, does to me is piss me off. She reaches her hand over and runs her finger down along my tattoos. She used to do that when we were together. I loved it then and I hate it now. I pull my arm away which also makes me lose my hold on Emma. She looks up at me with hurt clear in her eyes. I try to grab her arm, but she moves to stand next to Rowan. Now I’m really fucking pissed. I turn to face Shelly and she’s got a smug grin on her face. “Get. The. Fuck. Out. Of. My. Bar,” I say slowly and methodically, hoping she realizes how serious I am.

“You don’t mean that. Why don’t you let me rub the tension out of those sexy arms?” She goes to reach for me and I take a step back. She gives me that pouty face, and I can’t believe at one time I was attracted to her.

“Oh, I mean every word of it. If you do not leave, I will call the cops and have you removed. I’m done with you trying to fuck with my life every time you get bored. I have a bar to run. So leave. NOW!” I’ve never been so nasty to her before, but if she just fucked up what I’m trying to do with Emma, and I don’t just mean sex, I’m really going to lose my shit. She starts backing away from the bar with a hurt look on her face.

“Fuck you, Cooper. I’m sure she can’t suck your dick like I can.” I feel a knock in my back and turn to see Hunter holding Rowan back. Shit.

“GET. OUT,” I boom, and everyone in hearing distance turns to look. I am nothing but professional when I’m working. Shouting at someone is completely out of character for me. She turns on her heel and pushes her way through the crowd.

“Na, Na, Na, Na … Na, Na, Na, Na … Hey, hey, hey … goodbye!” I turn when I hear the guys singing it. I laugh when Levi adds, “Bitch.” I look over at Emma and she has her eyes trained on me. I start to make my way to her to explain when I hear, “Thank you all again. You were a fucking awesome crowd. Until next time.” Fuck! I need to go to the band.

“Boss?” I turn to look at Roy. “I’m sorry man, but we’ve got a small problem.” Holy shit, is this for real? I push my way through my friends and Rowan to grab Emma’s face. I lean down to her ear so only she can hear me.

“Please, don’t leave. I need to take care of a few things, then I want to talk to you. Please.” I pull back and I can see the uncertainty on her face. I quickly press my lips to hers. “Please.” I breathe against them. I haven’t even gotten her, and I’m terrified I’m going to lose her. I just want the chance to get to know her.
