Chapter 15

R en strolled into the bar nearly an hour late for work.

Both Dave and Johnny had called his cell phone, trying to locate him. But he’d been just a little busy.

He glanced over to Maggie. She wore one of his shirts, a white one with faint white embroidery on the front, knotted at the waist of her jeans. Jeans which, he happened to know, she wore with no panties.

He stared at her ass, imagining her bare skin underneath. He pulled in a breath. Hadn’t the two amazing bouts of sex in the shower been enough?

He looked at her curvy rear end again. Obviously not.

Tonight she wore no makeup, because she’d come with him directly from his place—also the reason for no panties. And her strawberry blonde hair framed her face in a tousled sexy bob. He couldn’t resist giving her a quick kiss before he headed up on the stage.

“Nice of you to make it, buddy,” Drake said as Ren took his place on the stage.

Ren didn’t apologize; he just slid the mic back to his height from where Dave, the bass player, had it. Hell, there was no way he was going to apologize for being late. Not when it was because he had been with Maggie.

He only had a week. He planned to use as much of that time as he could.

The band went into Boston’s “Foreplay/Long Time”; Ren didn’t miss the not-so-subtle innuendo.

Of course, the band would claim they chose that particular song because it had a long intro, to give him time to get prepared. And of course, they all knew otherwise.

He started to sing, watching Maggie find a spot in the back of the bar. Since it was Sunday night, the bar wasn’t as crowded as the previous nights. She took a stool at one of the round high-top tables in the back.

She sat down, then turned her attention back to him. Swaying with the music, watching him.

He couldn’t remember the last time he’d found work this interesting, this exciting for him. It was like she was the only one there, his own private audience, and he found himself wanting to perform for her. Exhilaration filled him, as it once had when he’d performed an original piece of his work. As if he was sharing something special and private with her. Even if it was someone else’s song.

He remembered what he’d once loved about music. He saw it on Maggie’s face. He found himself wishing he could play some of his compositions for her. Just the two of them and his piano.

But for tonight, Journey, Boston, and Kansas were going to have to be enough. Then he caught himself. No. Not just for tonight. He was never going to be able to play his songs for her. She was too clever—and she knew classical music.

Maybe even his.

So instead, he jumped off the stage and walked slowly toward her, singing out the lyrics of Journey’s “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’,” enjoying the way she blushed prettily as he approached.
