Four months later

Lexi

Ryder and I have been going strong for almost five months now, and it’s been amazing. We spend all the time we can together. Unfortunately, every Friday night when he's been performing I’ve been at my other job. By the time I get home it’s late. Ryder's been begging me to come and watch him, and the next time he plays at Steele is on a Saturday instead, so I can finally go. I can’t wait to see him in action.

We're sitting in the living room, playing band hero. I’m on the guitar, and he’s on the drums. It’s so funny watching him concentrating, when he's the front man of a popular band in real life.

“Lexi!” he calls out chuckling. Oops, I was staring at him and not playing.

“You’re letting the band down!” he mock growls. After we finish the tour we're doing, we turn it off, and head into the kitchen. Ryder cooked us dinner earlier and I’m starving. I glance at my plate and my mouth waters; grilled fish, asparagus, and mashed potato. I take a huge bite enthusiastically.

“Someone needs to husband you right now,” I say, taking another bite. Ryder laughs, shaking his head.

“I’m serious! If the whole band thing doesn’t work out, you could become a chef,” I tell him.

“My mother taught me, and she knows her way around the kitchen,” he says softly, watching me eat.

“Stop watching me,” I hiss, my cheeks going pink.

“I like watching you,” he says simply.

“You’re making me nervous,” I counter. He grins and takes a bite of his own food.

“If I’m not watching you, that’s when you should be worried,” he teases.

“Is that right?” I say.

“You don’t mind my eyes on yours in the bedroom,” he adds with a chuckle.

My mouth opens in disbelief. “You can’t bring up things that happen in the bedroom at the dinner table!”

“Why not?” Ryder asks, giving me a full on belly laugh. He obviously finds this amusing.

“You just can’t! What happens in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom!” I say.

“I’m pretty sure I went down on you in the kitchen the other day,” he adds nonchalantly.

I can actually feel the flush riding up my neck, “Ryder!”

“Best meal I ever had,” he continues.

“Do you want another taste?” I ask coyly. I inwardly smile at Ryder’s reaction. His beautiful gray eyes smoulder and his nostrils flair slightly.

“Always,” is his husky reply.

“Good,” I say. I go back to eating.

“Lexi!” Ryder practically growls, his eyes narrowed to slits.

“What does that tattoo on your neck say?” I ask him, purposely changing the subject. I’ve been wondering from the first moment I laid my eyes on him. It’s in another language, a quote in beautiful script.

“It’s a secret. Nice change of subject by the way,” he says slyly.

“I’m just going to google it,” I announce before taking another bite of fish. Ryder stands up and pours me a glass of red wine, placing it down next to my plate.

“Thank you,” I tell him quietly.

“You’re welcome,” he says in a deep tone.
