I took the mic Lace handed me, the rage I felt at seeing her with Diz cooling down to an almost manageable level as I wrapped my fingers around the familiar contours.

“I’m confused.” Lace touched my shoulder and when I leaned down asked in a soft whisper, “Is Shaina with you or Dizzy?”

My gaze went to the woman in question. Who was she with? And why did it matter so much? Our eyes locked for a moment, not long, but long enough that I certainly felt it. My mind rebelled from the thought of going there again with her, but my body was more than ready and willing to reassert its claim.

Those jeans cradled her ass the way my hands had before and wanted to again and a quick glance around the room revealed that I was far from the only one entertaining fantasies. Practically every other guy in the room had honed in on her. She seemed oblivious to the attention. All part of her act, no doubt. One it didn’t please me to know Diz had fallen for too.

My shell was too thick for his shit to break it.

Whichever of us was really to blame for destroying the band that had been the focus of my life since I was a teen was irrelevant. None of it mattered. Nothing could be rebuilt. That dream had gone up in flames leaving nothing but a smoldering pile of ashes behind.

I turned to see if King was ready. He was behind the drum kit with his sticks laid across his knees, but he wasn’t paying attention to the band. His dark brown eyes were fixed on Miriam. Interesting. But not totally surprising. The two of them had been tip toeing around something for a long time and the heat had ratcheted up when the Jackson family had come to see the band in New York City.
