I sway a little on my feet.
“You alright, beautiful?” he whispers. “Come here.”
He lifts my guitar over my head and leans it on a wall out of the way, and then takes me by the hand and pulls me along behind him until we’re in a secluded spot below a set of darkened stairs that lead up onto the very back of the stage.
I glance up and I can see Jaxon’s drum kit already set up on a platform just below the stage level. It must be part of their performance, having him rise up out of seemingly thin air, so it looks like Cold Neptune’s drummer is floating high up in the clouds.
Stagehands run around frantically above us putting the final touches in place, but none of them can see us from where we’re hidden out of sight, in the darkness and seclusion of the stairwell.
A tiny squeak escapes my throat when Reed backs me up against the wall. “You were brilliant,” he whispers softly. “They fucking loved you, Tink.”
“You watched my performance?” I ask.
He’s really close, our bodies touching in all the ways.
Is he wearing eyeliner?Oh god, he is.
“Of course I did,” he says. He cups my face with both hands. “I watched the entire thing from the green room. They have a live feed of the stage. You were amazing. I can’t even tell you how good you looked up there.”
Staring up at him, I’m instantly caught up in his seductive web. I’m breathless and lightheaded from his touch.
Leaning in closer, he breathes my name with a whisper that almost sounds reverent the way it falls so softly from his lips. “Fucking stunning,” he says against my cheek, and the warmth of his breath and his soft stubble against my skin makes my center quiver with anticipation.
“You’ve heard those songs before,” I say softly while his lips trail a gentle path across my cheekbone and down the side of my face.
This man.
I want him so much.
I can instantly feel warmth and dampness pooling between my legs, and there isn’t a thing I can do about it.
“I wasn’t talking about the songs,” he says gruffly, and I murmur a small moan that echoes one of his own when he grips my face even tighter and presses his body against mine.
“You look so sexy tonight,” he continues, rolling his hips forward slightly. “God, you feel so good.” His teeth graze against my ear, sending shivers racing all over my skin. “I fucking miss you. Been thinking about nothing else since I left your place the other night.”
“I miss you too –”
I don’t even get to finish that thought when Reed’s lips crash down over mine and he kisses me deeply. It’s a frantic, almost desperate kiss and I melt into it instantly.
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I forget about everything else. I forget about the music and the roaring crowd. I forget about the roadies and the stagehands working frantically above us.
All I can think about is how good it feels to be in Reed’s arms and have his tongue swirling around my mouth. I allow myself to return his kiss, and I know he’s feeling it just as much as I am when he grinds his hips forward again, and I can feel the hard, stiff length of him pressing firmly into my abdomen.
His jeans aren’t doing much to hide his arousal, huge, and did I mention,hard.
“I’m so hungry, baby,” he says, pulling back slightly to catch his breath.
“Yeah?”
“Oh, yeah. Let me show you just how hungry I am.”
And then he bends slightly and licks my nipple through the tight halter neck, making the fabric damp. My breasts feel heavy and very much appreciated by the way he’s worshipping them so thoroughly.
His fingers find the button on my pants, and he’s undoing it, sliding the zipper down, and then before I know what’s happening, he’s got them rolled all the way down to my ankles, and he’s picking me up, and repositioning me onto the top of an enormous black speaker that’s hidden in the darkness.
“I’m fucking starving, baby,” he breathes, dropping to his knees in front of me. “And tonight you’re all I want to eat.”
Holy shit.
