“Okay, we can do that. But first, I think it’s time we take our trip to London. Flight’s boarding.”
“Come on, cowboy.” He took my hand but stopped me and kissed me hard before pulling back and saying, “I want to listen to it again. Or, better than that, I want to watch you play it for me.”
I smirked. “All you have to do is ask.”
JAMESON
TWO YEARS LATER
I found Killian restringing his guitar on the porch when I returned from my visit to Sunrise High School. I’d gone in to oversee the final planning phase of the new after-school music program Killian and I were sponsoring. We called it Rock University. Each session was a twelve-week course that gave kids the opportunity to try different instruments, choose their favorite, and build their own bands. At the end, each band would perform two cover tunes and an original. Bloody brilliant. If I did say so myself.
I was determined to continue giving back and helping this generation find their voices.
“How’d it go?” he asked, glancing up from the guitar in that sexy way he had. It was the whole looking up from his lashes thing that really got me. Like he had a secret, and he really wanted to tell me.
“They’ve got fifteen kids signed up. All on scholarship.”
“Kelly would be so damn proud of you, Jamie.”
That made my heart flutter. What he thought of me mattered more than anything. I loved this man, and knowing he was proud, that he respected what was important to me, that we had the same goals, mattered.
“Did you send those new tracks to Jackie?” I asked.
“Sure did. She’s already sent me a bunch of gibberish emojis. I think she liked them.”
“Of course, she did. They’re stellar.”
I sat next to him, pressing my shoulder against his before sighing happily. “Two years on, and we’re as good as ever.”
“I don’t know. I’d say we are even better.”
“You might be right.”
“I think this new album is going to blow ‘London Days’ out of the water.”
I glanced at him, surprised. ‘London Days’ had been a breakout success. We’d swept awards season, taking home a Grammy and a CMA for album of the year. What a pair of nights that had been. Especially our warm-up in the greenroom at the CMAs. Fuck, I was getting hard just thinking about the noises he’d made.
“Jamie? Where’d you go just now?”
I let out a soft huff of laughter. “The greenroom.”
Heat flashed in his gaze. “I was just thinking about that. Remember when you tied my hands behind my back with your belt?”
“Fuck, yes. You look so good at my mercy.”
“If you don’t stop it with that sexy velvety voice of yours, I’m gonna have to cancel our plans tonight so I can stay in and relive it all over.”
If he was trying to convince me not to seduce him, he was failing. But I had other ideas and really didn’t want to be distracted.
“What kind of plans have you made, cowboy?”
“Do you know what today is?”
I did. Of bloody course I did. Today was the anniversary of the day he showed up on my doorstep and told me he loved me. It was two years ago that he and I professed our love to one another, and they had been the best of my life.
“Friday?”
He laughed and elbowed me in the side. “If you forgot, I might have to find myself another handsome British bloke to entertain me tonight in the loft.”
