“I know that,” Jesse says. “But she is sonotDragon’s type.”

“You can say that again. He’s not her type either. But they’re probably just having a conversation, Jesse.”

“Yeah, maybe.” He shakes his head.

“What do you mean by that?”

Jesse frowns slightly. “What I mean is, Dragon’s not a big talker. You all probably know that.”

“True,” I say.

“He does seem to keep to himself.” Sadie looks to Dragon for a moment, her fingers still clenched around Jesse’s arm. “But tell me more about you. How you got started with this band and all.”

Chapter Six

Jesse

Sadie’s a pretty girl. I don’t know how old she is, but I know she’s older than Brianna Steel, who’s a beautiful girl.

People like to say my sister Rory is the most beautiful woman in Snow Creek.

She is gorgeous, of course, but since I’m her brother, I don’t see her that way.

If I had to choose the most beautiful woman in Snow Creek, she would be the young woman standing beside me now.

Brianna Steel.

She’s tall, built, with long sable hair and mesmerizing dark eyes. Perfect proportions, perfect classically beautiful features.

And way too young for me.

I’m not looking for anyone, anyway.

One-nighters aren’t my style—even though I plan to screw my way across Europe. But that’s different. I’ll be leaving after each gig. A hookup with someone here at the party? No thanks. I live here. I know these people.

Take Sadie, for instance. I’m pretty sure she’d be happy with one night of loving and then leaving.

But Brianna? She’s way too good for that kind of thing.

Besides, it’s too weird, with my rivalry with her brother and all.

It’s bad enough thathe’shooked up with Callie.

“If you ladies will excuse me,” I say, finally wrestling my arm out of Sadie’s grip.

Sadie isn’t deterred and grabs my arm again. “Oh, don’t go. You haven’t answered my question yet.”

“What question?” Right, she asked me about the band. “You mean about how the band got started?”

“Yes. I’d love to know the whole story.”

Guess I have to deal with her vise grip on my forearm a bit longer. “I’ve always been interested in rock and roll. I got to go to college for free on a football scholarship. But I wasn’t good enough for the pros—”

Sadie gasps. “Wait a minute. You played football?”

“Yeah. I was quarterback.”

“You’re kidding me.”
