It would be stupid of him to use it as a chance to bed a bunch of European women.
“You’re not serious,” Maddie says.
“Hey, I think it’s a rite of passage. Any rock star worth his salt gets a proposition.” He deliberately looks away from me.
“You’re not going to—”
“Maddie, of course I’m not going to do anything. But even if I were, do you really think I’d be telling you?”
I hold back a sigh of relief. It’s true, he wouldn’t be telling Maddie anyway, but I don’t get the feeling that he’s lying.
“You were amazing,” I say again, and then I take a drink of my champagne.
“Thank you. That means a lot to me.” He turns. “Excuse me for a moment.”
Maddie watches him go. “What’s eating him?”
“He probably didn’t want to talk with his little sister about groupies.”
Maddie rolls her brown eyes. “I know, right? I’m perpetually two years old as far as Jesse’s concerned. We’re only ten years apart.”
“Only ten years apart,” I say, more to myself than to Maddie.
“I’ll always be the baby of the family,” Maddie says. “No matter how hard I try.”
“I know the feeling.”
Boy, do I ever.
I will always be a child in Jesse Pike’s eyes. After all, his baby sister is slightly older than I am.
If only I could be his groupie for the night.
Just one more time. One more time, when I’m not a virgin waiting for my cherry to be popped.
I’m healed up now, and I would like to experience sex with someone I care about—even if he doesn’t care about me.
I want to experience sex asnota virgin.
The crowd is beginning to die down, and Jett leaves with his wife. The other two members of Emerald Phoenix go, and the only one left is Zane Michaels, and he’s heading straight toward us.
“My God, Maddie…” I glance toward him.
Maddie gasps. “Is he really coming toward us?”
“Looks that way,” I say. “Be cool.” My heart is thumping a mile a minute.
“Hello, ladies,” Zane says.
Zane is no Jesse Pike, but he is gorgeous and so talented on the keyboard. He has long blond hair, a sculpted jawline, and searing blue eyes.
“Hello,” Maddie says. “You guys were amazing.”
“Thank you.” He holds out his hand. “It’s wonderful to meet you both.”
“I’m Maddie,” she says. “We met briefly in Snow Creek. This is my friend, Brianna. Do you remember us?”
He takes Maddie’s hand and kisses it. “Of course I remember you both. Do you ladies have plans for later this evening?”
