Chapter Four

Cassidy walked into the party with Dash, his arm around her waist. The good news about a rock star party was the fact that she didn’t need to dress up. The room was an oversized suite, larger than Dash’s even, but the band were in jeans. The women the single members had invited were in tight leather pants, bustiers, and tight cropped tops to show off their obviously fake breasts.

Since she hadn’t been sure if she could convince Dash to stay for a couple of days, she’d packed a few casual outfits, and she’d been able to take a quick shower and change before they headed to the party.

She stepped into the room wearing a pink silk top tucked into the front of her skinny black jeans and her favorite pair of motorcycle boots. She had no one to impress but her husband, and he’d given her a nice whistle when she’d come out of the powder room with a face full of makeup and her hair full and wavy.

Since they were late, the room was already full. She caught sight of the guys in the band and gave Axel a small wave. His eyes opened wide, and he treated her to a thumbs-up. Jagger raised a bottle of beer her way, and before Mac could acknowledge her, a woman in a low-cut top led him away. From the look of things, not much had changed, she thought wryly. Label execs mingled with the band’s professionals, Naomi, their publicist, and a few other people Cassidy knew.

The rest of the room was filled with strangers wanting a piece of the band members, one of whom stood with Naomi, who was waving Dash over.

He groaned. “Come on, let’s go see what she wants,” he said, his exhaustion and weariness obvious in his lack of enthusiasm.

“Okay, how about you go take care of business and I’ll go keep Axel company and drive the interested ladies away.” She smiled.

He narrowed his gaze. “Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Lifting herself up on her toes, she kissed Dash’s cheek. “I’ll be fine.”

He nodded. “I won’t be long. I’ll schmooze and get us out of here.”

“Okay.” She turned and pushed through the crowd, finding her brother leaning against the wall, looking around.

“Who are you looking for?”

He glanced her way, grinned, and picked her up, hugging her tight before putting her down again. “Missed you, sis.”

She grinned. “Back at you even though it’s only been two weeks.”

He cocked an eyebrow. “Is that what you said to your husband? It’s only been two weeks?”

She frowned and pushed his shoulder with one hand. “Troublemaker.”

“I take it things are better between you two?”

If he counted forty minutes together and a broken condom they hadn’t discussed better, she thought. “Yep!”

Axel narrowed his gaze at her phony smile, but before he could ask any questions, ones she wouldn’t be answering, a young woman Cassidy recognized bounced over to them.

“Hi, Axel!” Peyton said, the pink streak in her hair even brighter in person.

“Peyton! Meet my sister, Cassidy.
