Chapter 16

“No freaking way am I getting up there to sing. You can forget it,” Bethany protests as the band and I tell her we want her up there with us.

“Bethany, come on, just for one song,” Lex pleads.

“Hell, we’ll take it easy on you and do a cover song so you don’t have to worry about not knowing the words,” Tanner says, giving Bethany the best puppy eyes he can.

Grinning, I shake my head at their antics. I already know how I’ll get her on the stage and it won’t be begging her to do so.

We’d pulled into the clubhouse lot sometime around two in the morning, exhausted as hell. I hadn’t expected Tombstone to let me in Bethany’s room. Then again, he knew her room at the house was connected to mine. I’d have had her in my bed already if not for the thought of her not being ready yet.

This morning, after an emotionally heavy talk with Bethany, we spent time just holding each other and making out.

When the two of us finally came out of her bedroom, Reaper, who I’d met last night, asked if the guys and I would play tonight here at the club. I didn’t mind since we could use it as a rehearsal for tomorrow night when we play at one of the three bars they own.

“Are you gonna help me here?” Bethany asks, crossing her arms, which does nothing but make me grin more.

“Nope, ‘cause you’re gonna be on that stage. I wanna hear that gorgeous voice of yours,” I say firmly.

“No, I’m not,” she says, all but stomping her foot.

“You sing?” a feminine voice asks from behind me. Turning around, I find a girl who looks very similar to Bethany yet different.

“Umm, no, I don’t,” Bethany says, answering the girl’s question.

“Yes, you do,” Tanner chuckles before sticking out his hand. “You must be related to Bethany. I’m Tanner and these are my brothers Lex, Hunter, and Chaz,” he says.

“Ember, and I guess you can say I’m her cousin,” she says cautiously as she takes Tanner’s hand. When the girl releases his hand, she looks directly at Bethany. “Look, about last night, I’m sorry. I had a really shitty day. Can we start over?”

Glancing at Bethany, I notice she’s biting her lip. I’ve noticed over the last few months that she does this when she’s nervous about something.

“It’s okay, Ember, and yeah, we can start over.”

“What happened last night?” Lex asks, slinging an arm over Bethany’s shoulder.

Narrowing my eyes on him, I step closer to her and flick his arm off her body. To make sure no one else does that shit, I wrap my own around her, holding her to me.

“Is this your boyfriend?” Ember asks, taking the two of us in.

“Umm . . . ” It’s cute as hell when she’s nervous like this.

“Yeah, I’m her man,” I chuckle, placing a kiss to her head.

“So, are we gonna hear what happened last night?” Lex asks again.

“How about we not?” Bethany says, shaking her head.
