CHAPTER 33

ARTHUR

Iknow the moment Robin walks into the room. I don’t know how I know; I just do. As if she turned the lights on when I had been sitting in the dark.

There she is, looking tongue-swallowing gorgeous in her green dress. I was aware Robin had boobs before she put it on, but she’s right that the dress helps move them up front and center.

I try not to leer at the freckled mounds.

Damn, I want her. And I want her to want me.

Trying to ignore that impossibility, I refocus on the music I’m playing. This is fun up here. Playing with strangers is inspiring, invigorating, and gets my pulse pounding, as if my heart were trying to join in with the band.

Or maybe it’s just trying to beat its way out of my chest and flop across the linoleum floor to the third row, where Robin tilts her right ear toward the stage as she settles in a chair beside Gwen.

I’m glad my coworker was the one to find her and not one of my cousins. Who knows what shit they would have pulled?

Nothing too bad, I’m sure. But any one of them would’ve started pleading Daren’s case.

I’ve already got enough working against me.

After a few more songs, my hands start to ache, warning that a cramp is coming on if I don’t give them a break. When we come to a natural breaking point, I let my final chord fade out from the rest, give them a nod, then step down from my seat. Someone else will fill it soon enough. The Jam Session is fluid like that.

Robin stands to join me, grinning wide as she hooks her arm through mine. I want her to jump up and kiss me in one of her attacks, but her feet stay on the ground.

“You guys sounded great.” She hugs my arm close, and I feel her chest press against my biceps.

Makes me want to show her the back room, where we could get some privacy.

“Thanks,” I say, making sure to speak clearly so she can hear me over the crowd.

A few heads turn our way, people eyeing us. Briefly, I wonder what the latest gossip about us is. But then I decide I don’t want to know. As long as no one is hostile toward Robin, they can say what they want about me.

We head to the food table, and I hold our plates while Robin piles them high, claiming she’s still hungry, even after eating before my set. Gwen and Sebastian find us when we sit down, and my coworker chats with Robin about the flight she and Sebastian are taking to California next year after the holiday-mail madness calms down. It’ll be Gwen’s first time on a plane, and I watch Robin’s eyes widen in shock at the reveal.

Little does she know that plenty of the people in this town have barely gone farther than Merryville.

As the plane mechanic describes how safe commercial airlines are, I excuse myself to grab dessert.
