I thought Andreas was exaggerating when he handed me the earplugs at the show the following night. Now I have to apologize for the eye roll he got from me. I produce the plugs from my jeans pocket and stick them in my ears because being backstage at an Industrial November concert could render a girl deaf.

Despite having already been front row center at one of their concerts, the experience doesn’t compare to being backstage.

Midway through the concert, they get to a fast song where Adrian takes over with an extensive drum solo, and Bren sneaks off-stage. His grin is wide, like a little kid showing me a drawing and expectantly awaiting his praise.

“You’re fantastic,” I yell, and he pulls me in for a painful kiss that bruises my lips, but I can tell he’s grinning through the kiss. My hands wrap around his biceps, and I don’t recoil at the feel of the sweat he’s drenched in. His tank is entirely soaked, and he pulls away long enough to peel it off. He kisses me hard again, then saunters back on stage.

At the sight of a shirtless Bren, the crowd goes wild—as in the true meaning of a crowd going wild. Several bras are flung in the air and land by Bren’s feet.

My gaze stays glued to him as he sings, moves, and jumps on stage. He’s an expert entertainer, and all his movements are powerful, just like his lyrics and voice.

A woman somehow gets past security and jumps on stage, gets to her feet, and lunges herself toward Bren, but a bouncer catches her just before she reaches him. My heart thumps loud in my chest, and my legs stiffen, readying to lunge me toward the stage until I see the guard catch her. It happens so fast, I am genuinely afraid for Bren for a moment.

The woman struggles in the bouncer’s grip, but Bren keeps his cool, continuing the song. He follows the bouncer and outstretches his hand so that the fan can shake it briefly before being hauled out.

I press my hand to my chest and shake my head. Bren has everything under control. There’s no need to be afraid.

Is there?

More women fling underwear at my man, and I can’t help but smile.

That’s right, ladies, I think. Eat your hearts out.

Brenner Reindhart is taken.
