Chapter Six

Pepper woke early, her belly a mess of nervous butterflies, her heart thumping fast. Sleep had not claimed her until the wee hours of the morning, her mind far too busy replaying the wonderful, conflicting moment when Noah pressed her back to her bed and made her come with just his touch.

She’d replayed it over and over again. Sometime around two a.m., she’d relived it with her own hand, imagining her thrusting fingers to be Noah’s inside her sex, bringing her to climax.

When she ventured from her bedroom into the apartment for breakfast a few hours after that, a smirking Frank sat in the living, waiting for her. “Details,” he cried, eyes twinkling. “I want details. Now!”

Pepper blushed—as always. “Mind your own business, pervert.”

“Oh, Peps.” He leaped from the armchair and snared her fingers in his, his smirk spreading into a wide grin. “Did you have the best sex of your life last night? You did, didn’t you? I can tell by the shade of red you’re turning. How loud did you scream when he made you come? Are you going to marry him? You’re going to marry him, aren’t you? Oh God, you’re going to marry a rock star.” He did a furious little dance, shaking her hands the whole time. Pepper felt certain her teeth rattled in her head. “Please let me be the chief bridesmaid. Please? I look ravishing in canary yellow. Honest. I’ll out-Cher Cher I’ll out-Gaga Gaga. I’ll—”

“Frank,” she moaned, her cheeks on fire, her tummy a curious mix of nerves and joy. “I’m not going to—”

Her cell rang, the Star Wars theme emanating all the way from her bedroom.

“I’ll get it,” Frank squealed, dropping her hands and dashing for her room.

“Frank!” She laughed, dropping into the armchair.

“The delightful Ms. Kerrigan’s phone,” Frank cooed, swanning back into the living area with Pepper’s phone pressed to his ear. He paused, disappointment falling over his face. “Oh, Rupert, you’re not who I was expecting.”

Pepper laughed again. She didn’t know if she was relieved it wasn’t Noah or disappointed. The way she’d ended last night with him, she wasn’t sure when she’d hear from him again. He’d given her such an amazing sexual experience, and in return, she’d given him…nothing.

To make matters worse, her growing suspicion she didn’t really want to replace Nick Blackthorne kept scratching at her consciousness. She’d dreamt of being a singer her whole life, so why did it now seem enough that she’d sung for Noah?

Frank’s slap against her shoulder made her jump.

“Let me check,” he said into the phone before covering the end with his hand. “It’s Rupert, honey. He needs you to come into work now. The morning shift waitresses have called in sick. He’s begging you.”

Heat itched at Pepper’s nape. She was meant to sing with the band today, but Noah hadn’t told her when or where.

“Yeah, yeah,” Frank snapped into the phone. “Keep your pants on. Remember, I’ve seen what you’ve got in there. You’re not hung well enough
