And when I do, it takes me a moment to register what I’m looking at.
Crowds of screaming people, music blaring through enormous speakers, a drum solo that goes on entirely too long. And then I blink, and things slowly start to make sense when I recognize the song, ‘Flight Town.’ It’s one of Cold Neptune’s newest tracks.
God, they’re playing live.
Quinn and Kael are at the front of the stage on their guitars, lights and smoke swirling all around them. Jaxon is pounding on the drums, sweat spraying from his hair when he whips his head around, and then the camera slowly pans across the stage and Reed comes into view.
Oh my.He takes my breath away.
He’s just as beautiful as I remember, and my insides instantly ache with longing for him.
There’s this weird warmth spreading throughout my chest, and hot, salty tears fill my eyes when I notice he’s wearing the same navy blue dress shirt and black leather vest he was wearing the first day I met him in the city.
Reed isn’t one of those super hyper rock singers who jump around and dance all over the stage. He’s more intense, just moving slightly with the music, his head leaning to one side as he grips the microphone and sings, his voice smooth and seductive, the sweetest, most gratifying sound I’ve ever heard.
There are no words to describe what I’m feeling. This man does things to me that no one has ever been able to do before.
I’m his, totally his.
I just wish he was mine, too.
The crowd screams when the song finishes, hands in the air, clapping. Cameras are flashing like crazy when Reed throws his arms up, revealing that small sliver of taut skin just above the waistband of his tight jeans that I’ve come to know very intimately.
Then he glances quickly over his shoulder at Quinn, who simply nods at him. He yanks the mic off the stand and walks closer to the edge of the stage. The girls up front go crazy for him, grabbing for his leg, but he’s positioned himself just far enough out of their reach so they can’t touch him.
A spotlight shines down on him, sending the rest of the stage into darkness, and the crowd goes insane. He closes his eyes briefly and then stares directly at the camera.
He looks so intense, so passionate, and so damn sexy. His mouth curves up into a small smile, and I can’t believe this man has had his mouth on me in the most delicious, profound, and intimate ways possible. He’s kissed me with that mouth. And he’s done other things to me with that mouth that make my eyes want to close right along with his.
But there’s no way that’s going to happen.
I can’t take my eyes off him.
“I need you to indulge me for a few minutes,” he says, still staring straight at the camera. “I got something important I need to get off my chest. Is that alright with you guys?”
I have to cover my ears with the way the audience screams in response.
Was that a bra just flung up onto the stage?
The fans go wild when Reed puts the microphone between his legs, holding it there while he yanks off his vest. He tosses it into the crowd and then he starts unbuttoning his shirt, letting it fall off his shoulders onto the stage.
What the hell is he doing?
I open my eyes painfully wide and take in his incredible body. I have no idea what’s going on, or why he’s undressing on live television, but honestly, I have no logical response to what I’m looking at right now.
“The thing is, guys, I fucked up,” he says, cradling the mic once again in his hand. He urges the crowd to settle down before he continues. “I did something really stupid, and I want to make it right. You see, I met this chick, and to be honest, at first, she was a real pain in my ass.” The crowd laughs, and I sink a little farther into the couch. Oh god. What is he doing? He keeps staring down the camera lens, and it’s as if he knows for sure I’m watching.
He holds me fixated on him with his smoky blue eyes, lined with black, intense, and oh-so-familiar.
“She never knows when to shut up, and she’s got a filthy little mouth on her.”
Once again, the crowd goes wild, laughing their asses off. Why does he need his shirt off for this? It’s very distracting.
“Anyway, I did something really stupid, guys. It wasn’t the plan, but I fell in love with this chick. Totally, head over heels, balls deep, fucking in love with her.”
Everything stops. This can’t be real.
Is he talking about me?
