Chapter 16

I refused to force my will upon him. It would be his choice to let me in…if he was asleep. By now it was well after midnight and the rest of the world was fast asleep with sugarplums dancing in their heads. Not me.

Why hadn’t I done this more?

My heart skipped when I felt our dreams merge, two pieces that finally clicked.

The blackness around me was swept away in a tunnel of blurring speed. I blinked a few times, adjusting to my new surroundings.

Just like a guy to dream about being a rock star. Not that I expected unicorns and rainbows, but this…it made my lips twitch. I guess those little kid dreams still live in us all, and I could picture Gavin as a little boy rockin’ out in a make believe stadium just like this. Although I imagined it would have been packed with screaming, adoring fans instead of empty.

Thank God he wasn’t wearing tight leather pants. I might not have been able to keep it together.

The click of my heels echoed as I walked down the aisle toward center stage.

Wait. Heels?

WTF.

I glanced down at my feet, seeing silvery cage-like high heels—emphasis on high. I’d be lucky I didn’t break my neck before I got there. But that wasn’t the only thing that caught my attention. I was dressed in a skintight dress that clung to my every curve.

Oh. He was funny.

I heard a chuckle, and my head snapped up. There he was, alone with just a stool and a guitar. Fireflies jetted into my belly, and I missed a step when he flashed me a sexy smirk.

Now he’s done it.

Even my heart sighed at the sight of him in ripped jeans and a black t-shirt. It wasn’t fair how just a glimpse could send me into cardiac arrest. And just like that my mind when blank and I forgot what I’d been running from. Mission accomplished. I got my distraction.

He had one leg propped up on the stool crossbar with the acoustic guitar resting in his lap. “I didn’t expect to see you so soon.” His voice carried through the stadium.

I regained my composure and made my way up the stage. “I couldn’t sleep.”

Understanding crept into his eyes. “You had quite an undertaking tonight. Only makes sense that your mind would be racing.”

Racing? It was running a bloody marathon. “So this is what you dream about? Classic.”

He strummed a cord on the guitar with his thumb. “There is nothing classic about me.”

I kicked off the strappy shoes. “Thanks for the duds by the way. They really make a statement.”

His blue eyes sparkled. “It suits you.”

“That’s because you are a guy. I am about two seconds away from ripping this itchy dress into tiny little pieces.”

Undeniable amusement sparked in his expression. “Can I watch?”

I let a short laugh. In a just a few minutes of being in his presence, I already felt lighter, but I was about to make the atmosphere heavy again. The small curl on my lips faded.
