Chapter Eleven

“Avalynn, ten minutes until showtime.”

Julius had pressed her down on the bed in the back of the bus and blown her mind. Every single place he touched her still burned like he’d branded her. And she knew from looking in the mirror while getting dressed for the stage that she bore more than one pink mark from him raking his rough beard over her sensitive skin.

“Avalynn, five minutes until showtime.”

Her insides clutched at so many memories dancing through her head. She swore each one of those memories wore a pair of cowboy boots, kicking it up like a night at the bar where she’d sung her first gigs before making it big.

Julius had delivered a kiss to her lips that she wouldn’t soon forget—if she ever did. Then he’d given her that crooked smile that melted off panties she wasn’t even wearing at the time.

“You’ll be more relaxed after that.”

“I just might make this my new pre-concert routine,” she’d said.

“Avalynn, four minutes.”

She hugged herself but felt her lover’s arms as he pinned her to the bed and did unspeakable things to her body that made her scream his name…

“Avalynn? Did you hear me?”

She jolted and looked around.

Expecting to see her manager or one of her PR crew, she was surprised when only Lark stood in front of her.

The pretty redhead gave her an amused smile. “You good?”

“Yes.” She still felt dazed by all the things she and Julius did—and she wanted so much more of. Was it possible to skip the concert?

Lark cocked her head. “Why don’t I buy that?”

She dug her teeth into her lip but remembered she was wearing full-on glam makeup with a red lip to accent the white leather jacket and the white rhinestone pants that hugged her like a second skin.

“Because I’m lying!” she burst out.

“Oh dear.”

“This is my first time performing since the engagement photos hit. My mom is wrong! I’m not so fearless.”

“Oh, honey.” Lark slid her arm around her.

She leaned against her new friend. Funny thing was, she’d only known this woman for a few days and already considered her a person that she could confide in. Someone who could keep her secrets.

There were even fewer people she’d talk openly with. For all her popularity and fame, her world was pretty small.

And right now, Julius—and what she was about to do—was at the center of it.

Lark gave her a small squeeze. “What changed? You know we’ll keep you safe.”

“I’m not worried about that—well, not much, anyway. It’s just that…”

Lark’s big eyes urged her to spill.

“What am I doing? I can’t believe that I wrote him a song!”

Lark blinked. “Who? Julius?”

She gave a miserable nod. “The worst part? I mean every word of it!”

“Ohhh, honey!”

“What if he hates it? What if he doesn’t get it? What if…”

Lark’s expression was calm. If this woman had a billboard selling calm, it would sport a picture of her current expression.

“This could be your only chance.”

To tell Julius she was falling for him?

Lark continued, “The whole world has their eyes on you.
