The car was towed.

I don’t know why it bothers me, but I think it has to do with cutting our alone time short. I know it is.

Sipping a whiskey by the fire, I watch as the flames flicker—the blue edges and the orange burn brighter. I’ve been left with my thoughts as Poppy changes into something more comfortable. I’m hoping it’s nothing but her birthday suit. I already miss being inside her.

A guitar appears. My guitar, out of the case, held next to me.

“Will you play for me?” she asks, shifting the guitar so I can see her naked body. Tease.

I grin, setting my glass down on the table, and then shift the guitar back where she held it, waving my arms on the sides of its curvature. “The guitar is inviting, but you’re sexier.”

“Please.”

“I love it when you beg. Please make love to you? Absolutely. You don’t have to ask me twice.” I start to stand, but she pushes the acoustic closer, and I flop back on the couch and take it. “I’m thinking you want me to play for you,” I say, trying to be funny.

“I’m glad you got the unsubtle hint. Play for me, Laird.” She grabs a discarded blanket from the chair and curls up on the couch next to me. “Just one song only for me.”

Looking back over my shoulder, I catch her eyes. “It’s not that I don’t play. I play the guitar all the time. It’s still one of my biggest outlets, along with surfing. But . . .” Should I confess my fears? She shared hers, so is this only fair?

“But what?”

There’s a reason I didn’t want her to know I was in a band. “I don’t want you to see me differently. The fame is nonsense. The money is . . . it’s whatever.”

“The music is what matters, Laird.” She reaches forward to rub my shoulder. “You don’t have to play if you don’t want to. I won’t be upset.”

I strum, still glancing back at her. The drunken delight she wore on her face at Maggie’s has changed. Her eyes are hooded, and her smile is softer, one that I have a feeling most will never see. It’s the one she smiles when looking at me. I reach over and tap her nose because she’s irresistible, but then start playing a song this time. “I’ll leave the singing to Nikki.”

“You sing with her, sometimes even duets.”

“Why do you have to call me out like that?” I give her a wink and a click of my tongue.

“What can I say? I’m a fan.”

Turning back to watch my fingers move across the strings, I hide my grin from her. She’s a fan. I fucking love it. I glance back. “I’m a fan of yours as well.” I kick into the chorus and sing a few lines about sunsets over San Diego and getting laid at the beach on Coronado. “Nikki still laughs every time I sing those lines. She doesn’t know they’re based on real-life experiences.
