His fate had already been sealed.
The beautiful voice that filled the arena was absolutely mesmerizing. He had heard Ayla D’Nye sing enough times to instantly recognize her voice before he even saw her. Not only did her songs get played in just about every public venue imaginable, she’d also been featured in countless soundtracks and ads. Her concerts were always sold out, and she had a legit army of devoted followers who would probably go to war for her if she only asked.
Ayla’s songs were memorable, the beats catchy, and the lyrics meaningful. A number of other artists had covered her music, but very few could even come close to the originals. She was one of a kind, and her talent was undeniable. Hell, even Zenix considered himself a fan.
But he’d never heard her sing live.
The words she sang seemed to reach out to him, grabbing him by the throat and making him feel like his heart was going to leap right out of his chest. He slowly rounded the corner and walked out of the darkness, getting his first good look at the female who had utterly captivated him with her voice.
Besides singing like an angel, Ayla looked like one. Her white hair was almost silver under the spotlight, and she was breathtakingly gorgeous without a speck of makeup on. While she might have looked similar to other D’Aire females at first glance, she had a special quality that made her unique. It was as if her very soul was shining out of her, illuminating her from within.
She was a bright star shining in his dark galaxy.
And he was being pulled into her orbit.
Zenix slowly made his way toward the stage, then paused halfway down the wide steps. He’d stopped mainly to see if he could, but it just felt like fighting the inevitable.
“Nix? What’s wrong? You’ve gone a little pale. Are you feeling okay?”
He could vaguely hear Anissa speaking to him, but he couldn’t pull his attention away from Ayla long enough to glance in her direction.
“She’s…”
“Yeah, she’s pretty amazing. I forgot you are a fan of her music. No wonder you took a detour in here. The security team is waiting for us to—”
“They can fucking keep waiting,” Zenix bit out.
“Okay, then. Take your time,” Anissa said with a chuckle. “I’ll go meet them in the security center, and you can join us after you finish drooling over the superstar.”
Ignoring his friend, he remained frozen in place as she walked away. He knew he was probably going to get shit for it later, but he just didn’t care at the moment. He frowned when the song cut off as Ayla dropped her guitar and abruptly stood up. Beautiful white wings burst from her back a few seconds before she launched herself into the air.
Zenix blinked in surprise when she flew directly toward him. When she landed right in front of him, his breath caught in his throat. She was even more dazzling up close. She stepped toward him until their bodies were only a whisper apart, and the tip of her tongue swiped across her lower lip.
“Do you know who I am?”
Zenix instinctively knew she wasn’t asking if he knew what she did for a living. He felt like he was standing on a precipice, and the rest of his life depended on how he answered that question. He could try to be logical about it, or he could just give into what he was feeling and throw caution to the wind.
Going with the latter option, he slowly lifted a hand and wrapped it around the back of her neck, drawing her even closer. “You’re mine.”
Her lush lips curved up into a brilliant smile. “And you are mine…keeper.”
“Keeper,” he whispered.
Zenix had suspected it the moment she had come to him, but hearing it confirmed was a whole different story. It made it real. Excitement and shock surged through him, but he didn’t have time to dwell on that. Not when her wings curled around them, shielding them from view as she pressed her lips against his in a fervent, claiming kiss.
Caught off guard by her ardor, Zenix’s hold tightened on her. His other arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her flush against him. The feel of her pressed against him made his cock harden and strain against the confines of his pants. His mouth opened under hers, allowing their tongues to twine together in a sensual dance. He growled low in his throat at the taste of her, but it wasn’t enough.
He needed more.
As if reading his thoughts, she whispered, “More. I need more.”
Not giving him a chance to respond, she boosted herself up and wrapped her legs around his waist. The move had his thick erection rubbing directly against her heated core, and she moaned as she squirmed against him.
He muttered a low curse. Desire made it difficult to think, but her safety wasn’t something he could overlook. Beyond being his, Zenix could never forget that she was one of the most famous celebrities in the known universe. Even though the arena was closed off to outsiders at the moment, the space they were in was too damn open to continue what they were doing.
“Wait. We can’t do this here.”
“I don’t want to wait,” she countered, pressing kisses along his jaw and down his neck. “I feel like I’ve already been waiting forever for you.”
