CHAPTER TEN

CHICKEN MARBELLA, MASHED POTATOES and green beans on the table. Crème brûlée on the counter, ready to be finished off after dinner with the small torch she’d borrowed from catering.

Kiki happily surveyed the results of her efforts as she heard the treadmill winding down at the other end of the bus. Dev was finished with his workout, and after a quick shower they would sit down for yet another of her home-cooked meals.

Over the past week, she and Dev had fallen into a routine that broke all of her rules with its undertones of coupledom and domestic bliss. On the way from Venice to Rome, Dev had asked her to stay in his bus with him for the remainder of the tour, and the rest of the crew had even treated her as if nothing was amiss, likely too intimidated by their boss to do otherwise. During the mornings she and Dev worked side by side on the bus, with him stroking her thigh as she tooled on her laptop or covering his phone to kiss her while he was on a call. After that they either spent the travel time in a state of fevered lust or, if it wasn’t a travel day, went their separate ways for a while and came together again for dinner, conversation and sex before Dev’s show. Each day was finished off with a final round of passion and another night spent entwined together on the bed he’d bought just for her. It was heaven, perfect, better than anything she ever could have dreamed of.

Each day of this is just bringing you both closer to disaster and heartbreak, the voice at the back of her head kept reminding her. And yet here she was yet again, successfully blocking it out.

Dev came out of the bathroom wearing a pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt. Kiki couldn’t help but stare as he pulled up a chair and grinned at her offerings. Even dressed completely down, he was the epitome of sexy. “You’ve outdone yourself again,” Dev said as he circled his left arm backward.

“Are you okay?”

“Just my shoulder. It gets sore sometimes when I play a few nights in a row and forget to correct my posture.”

“Sounds like you need a massage.”

“I could see that going sideways very fast.” He grinned as he loaded up her plate for her.

“That’s the whole point.”

“So, what, this morning and—” he glanced at his watch “—two hours ago wasn’t enough for you?”

“Not nearly.”

“Not that I don’t appreciate the offer, but would you believe I’m the only living being who doesn’t like massages?”

“You’re kidding. What’s that all about?”

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s because Bix is always hounding me to get them.”

Bix. Kiki weighed her response carefully before speaking. “Finally something he and I agree on.”

Dev lifted his eyes. “Like I said, he’s not exactly Mr. Charisma. But he does care about me.”

Kiki decided to drop it. Bix had always been standoffish with her to say the least, avoiding eye contact
