CHAPTER14

CADEN

The atmospherein the Great Hall is electric. All five of us can feel it. The high of performing doesn’t get old, but the high of performing for the two people who hold my heart has me soaring to new heights.

I belt out the last couple of lines of our latest hit, “Hollowed Heart,” giving it everything I’ve got.

The applause can only be described as raucous as we jog from the stage to chants for another encore, one which I’m only too delighted to give them on behalf of my beautiful Bug. I can’t wait until she hears what’s coming up, despite the boys telling me I’m soppy.

Jealous wankers.

“Daddy!” Bella’s eyes are wide as she takes me in, trying desperately to tug her ear defenders from her head. She bounds from her seat to jump straight into my waiting arms, and I swing her around, much to her delight.

I pull one side of the headphones back carefully, and she flinches from the onslaught of noise surrounding us from all angles. “You having a good time, Bug?”

She nods up and down profusely, her eyes growing wide as saucers. “It’s super loud!” Then she covers her mouth with a little giggle. “Can you sing the sunshine song, please?”

I try to stop the enormous Cheshire Cat grin that threatens at her words from consuming my face, but I’m defeated.

I knew changing the setlist for Bug’s first concert was the way to go!

“You got it!” I set her down to pull her small hand into mine and lead her back over to a smiling Summer, but Beau beats me to it, hoisting Bella atop his shoulders.

Her squeals of glee draw the eyes of everyone nearby, with Summer smiling broadly when Bug begins telling Beau all about her new Poppy and Branch obsession.

With my daughter occupied for a moment and in my friend’s capable hands, I march straight for Summer, catching her hand to tug her closer to the stage, so we’re hidden amongst several huge speakers.

Once we’re out of sight, I cup her face in one palm and use my other to grip her jean-clad ass to pull her closer so that our bodies are perfectly aligned. I tilt my head to one side and brush my lips off of hers.

She gasps as I tease her with my lips and tongue until soon, she’s panting against me. “Christ, Caden. Just kiss me, for crying out loud.”

Instead of answering, I move and slowly glide my tongue inside her mouth as she expels a groan of sheer satisfaction. She sucks my tongue, making my dick stand to attention, despite the fact that we are mere feet from the side of the stage.

Anyone could see us.

The thought turns me on more than I’d have thought. I take both her ass cheeks in my hands and pin her to the tall speaker, encouraging her to wrap her legs around my waist, which she does without further prompt.

Her heat is pressed perfectly against my own hard-on at this height, and I’m unable to stop the slight thrust of my hips. She whimpers into my mouth when I rock ever so slightly against her.

“Cade, stop, Cade.”

She pulls back, and her eyes are glassy, pupils blown wide. Her hair is messed up just enough to give her a delicious,just been fuckedlook.

“We can’t get carried away here, Caden.” She swats at my shoulder before arching a brow and rolling her hips into mine. “Someone might see us.”

And that’s when it happens.

The speaker opposite us teeters over, falling to the floor with a crash. I sidestep the commotion, only to step onto the stage and into view, Summer still attached around my waist.

The chants of the audience dim almost immediately to be replaced at first by one camera flash, then another, and another. Within seconds, we are blinded as camera flashes from the media outlets on site, followed by a low hum of questions that rapidly turns into a free for all.

Beau, ever the cool-headed one, strides onto the stage, his sheer bulk blocking us from the worst of the bombardment.

“Show’s over, folks. Thanks for supporting Katherine’s House today. See you next year!”

I edge to the wings, where my parents are waiting with Bella and the rest of Misdirection, and chuckle as I whisper in Summer’s ear, “Guess the world knows now.”
