His jaw shifts, and the muscle in his cheek twitches. From in front of me on the bed, he watches me with hooded eyes, but he doesn’t answer my question. Something tells me I already know the answer. I just don’t want to admit it to myself, or anyone else for that matter.

“Should I email Nick back right away?”

“I wouldn’t leave it too long.”

“Okay.”

“He’s a damn good manager.”

“You really showed him my videos?”

He nods slowly. “Yeah.”

I ponder his words for a few seconds. If I sign this contract, it could change my life in ways I never imagined. This could be the turning point in my career that I’ve always wanted. So why am I so afraid? What am I waiting for? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I’d be certifiably insane to turn it down. Cold Neptune has almost three million followers on their social media pages. Yes, I checked, lame, I know. And they’ve sold millions of albums and performed live in front of hundreds of thousands of fans all over the country.

I bite my bottom lip again, but this time it’s not from nerves.

This time it’s to stop myself from giggling.

But it clearly doesn’t work.

Friggity fuck.

I suddenly burst out laughing, kicking my legs hard beneath the blankets. I must look like a total lunatic. And maybe I am a crazy person, because then I do something even crazier than just laughing and kicking with excitement.

Before I can stop myself, I clamber out from under the covers and throw myself at Reed, wrapping my arms around his neck so hard and fast that he falls back on the bed, taking me with him.

Rough hands grab my thighs to stop me from falling, and I clutch his broad shoulders with my fingertips, and I think I mumble the wordsthank youover and over again, but I can’t be entirely sure, because all I’m able to focus my attention on is the way his huge hands are currently moving up over the curve of my backside and gripping my flesh firmly with his strong, thick fingers.

It shouldn’t feel so good. But it does.

Dear god.It feels really good.

I’m only wearing pajama shorts and an oversized T-shirt, and the scrape of his fingers over my bare legs sends thousands of tingles racing down my spine. And to other places too. I don’t know what’s going on between my legs right now, but it feels sublime.

My head drops forward heavily into his shoulder and before I can stop myself, my teeth dig into his corded muscle, taking a bite of the forbidden fruit.

“Fuck,” he groans.

Goose bumps rise on my skin and my lady parts pulsate from the warmth of his hands moving over my backside, cupping the cheeks of my ass, fingers digging in to the point that it’s almost painful.

“This is dangerous territory,” he breathes roughly, his stubble soft against the side of my face.

“Very dangerous,” I whisper into his neck.

“What are you doing to me?”

His voice is a whispery mix of sounds fueled by blatant desire. The tips of his fingers linger over the gentle crease where the top of my thighs meet my bottom, and then his hands slide down my legs and he grips my thighs firmly with both hands, spreading my legs wide before lifting me up so that now I’m straddling his waist.

Fuck, I want him so badly.

I stare down at him, tracing my tongue over my lower lip and Reed’s eyes darken slightly, his gaze locked on my mouth. It’s like I’ve somehow awoken the beast within him. He doesn’t look the same anymore. He looks wild. Feral. Beautiful.

“Your lip ring looks really sexy from this angle,” I say softly, rocking my hips forward over the growing bulge in his jeans that’s making its presence felt against my core. Everything below my belly button tenses, begging for the ache between my legs to be dealt with.

“If you’re not careful, I’ll show you how sexy it can be.”

I tilt my head slightly to one side, sucking my lip into my mouth. “So, show me.”
