“I’ve always been a rocker. A true rocker.” I can’t help puffing out my chest a bit.

I don’t know why we’re having this discussion. Zane knows all of this. We talked about it when they first discovered us at that little bar in Utah where we played.

The devil and angel on my shoulder taunt me again. Emerald Phoenix can make or break us…and I’m not being very nice to Zane.

Then again…he’s trying to fuck my sister and Brianna.

At the same time.

In his room.

My jaw is clenched so tight I may crack a tooth.

The server brings our drinks, and Zane hands her a credit card. “Run a tab, and anything these three want, put it on there.”

“You got it.” She runs the credit card through her handheld machine and hands it back to Zane.

Once she’s gone, Zane stands. “I’m afraid I can’t stay, but please, have whatever you want on me.”

“I’m sorry,” Maddie says.

“No problem, little lady. I have a big day tomorrow, as does your brother.” He nods to Brianna and to me, and then he whisks away.

The yoke lifts from my shoulders.

“Thanks a lot, Jess.” Maddie sulks.

But it doesn’t escape my notice that Brianna looks visibly relieved. She takes a sip of her bourbon.

“Do I really have to have this talk with the two of you?” I ask.

“Not with me you don’t,” Brianna says.

I ignore Brianna. “You, Mads? You’re better than this.”

“Oh, come on. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you blew it for me. Zane will never come near me again, and neither will the others.”

“Works for me. What would Callie and Rory say?”

Maddie crosses her arms. “They’d be a lot cooler than you’re being.”

I turn to Brianna. “Did you really want to do this?”

She meets my gaze. “As a matter of fact, yes I did.”

“Really.”

This woman just lost her virginity two nights ago. I feel badly enough about that, but she’s clearly not easy. Not that I ever thought she was, but I didn’t figure she was a virgin.

“Yeah, really,” she asserts. “Like Maddie said, it was the opportunity of a lifetime.”

“Are either of you even attracted to Zane Michaels?”

“Of course,” Maddie says. “He’s gorgeous.”

He’s kind of a pretty boy, but whatever. Long blond hair, which is obviously colored.

“And you, Brianna?”
