Chapter Thirteen

IN THE blackness surrounding Gabe, Jet Gemini’s voice, alone and clear as crystal, filled the arena and slid down Gabe’s spine like cool syrup all the way to his groin. Nobody could say the guy got by on his hair. Hell, he could sing your ass off.

Gabe snorted at himself. That’s what I’m afraid of.

Slowly, the lights came up, and the instruments picked up the melody. Jet stood in a spotlight, his head forward and his hair forming a curtain around his face.

A few girls started to scream, but they got shushed by other members of the audience, and the huge crowd became nearly still.

Jet began to sing in his pure voice about love that mended and never ended, a ballad that started in a mournful cadence but picked up and wrapped itself in joy. He swirled and spun, arms extended, hair whipping, his torso bare except for a silk vest with a huge red rose embroidered on it.

Gabe’s heart thumped so loudly it should have added to the percussion of the music, and as the crescendo built, it seemed to live in his groin, throbbing and stretching.

Gemini stopped whirling and drew his hands beside his face to pull the hair aside. As the last notes faded, he raised his face, eyes closed, to the light, the flash of the spot reflecting on his perfect cheekbones. Breaking a smile, he opened his eyes and looked into the sea of passionate fans—

—and Gabe almost lost his ice cream. He pressed forward in his seat, and his lips formed the word: “Jerry.”

His heart stopped for a second, then slammed against his ribs in a rush of adrenaline. Nuts. Crazy. Of course it’s not Jerry. Just somebody who….

But even if every detail of Jet Gemini’s beautiful face hadn’t been identical, those eyes didn’t lie. One blue, one green.

Gabe collapsed back in his seat, trying to take in enough oxygen. He wanted to jump up, run out, pound on something, but sliding past a whole row of avid fans sounded craptastic. I don’t get it. I’ve been played. But why? What possible use could I be to a world-famous rock star?

Nothing quite made sense. Maybe Gemini was trying to get Gabe’s help for the best price? But fuck, why would he want Gabe at all? He could have fifty guys, a hundred of the best craftsmen, working on his house. Why the fuck was Jet Gemini sleeping on a mattress on the floor and living on pizza? It has to be a mistake. Jet has a twin. That’s it. Jerry’s his wacko twin.

But the eyes. They had to be so rare. Would even identical twins both have those eyes?

The dark girl in the next seat cast a glance at him, then leaned down. “You okay? Are you sick or something?”

“Uh, yeah. I mean, no. Just a little light-headed. Not a lot of air.” He tried to smile.

“Yeah, he has that effect.” She winked. “Tell me if you need help. I’ll be glad to give you mouth-to-mouth.
