I.
    “Bold statement, little girl,” Justin, Burners’ lead guitarist begins.
    Coley shrugs. “Maybe, but it’s true.”
    Lucian grins and puts his arm around her waist. “She’s right. I was just about to talk to Ben about it.”
    Justin takes a swig of his beer, staring Coley down. “You think you can do better?”
    “Justin—” Lucian begins but he’s cut off by a sideways glance. He’s testing her. Interesting.
    “I don’t think I can, I know I can,” she tells him, crossing her arms, pushing her tits up. Shit. I’m getting hard again.
    “Yeah?” Justin challenges. “Let’s see about that tomorrow when we get to Des Moines.”
    “What?” she asks.
    “You know you can do better, let’s see you do better. When we have rehearsal tomorrow, you set up the board how you think it should be and we’ll see if you’re full of shit or not.” He grins.
    She grins back. “Challenge accepted. I’m Coley.”
    He nods and takes the hand she’s offered. “Justin.”
    He holds her hand just a little too long and stares intently.
    “Nice to meet you,” she responds.
    “Ditto. You want to get a drink?” he asks and Lucian bristles more than I do.
    Lucian pulls her tight against his side. “I don’t think so, Tin.”
    Justin shakes his head. “How the fuck do you always get there before me?”
    “She’s different,” Lucian announces and both Justin’s and my eyebrows go up. He nods and I clench my fists. Fuck.
    “We’re on, dude,” Xander tells me as he walks up. “Coley, you’re seriously hot out there. I was so fucking hard my dick could have pounded nails.” He gives her his playful grin and she rolls her eyes.
    “Sounds like a personal problem.”
    “It was, oh, it was. Nothing rubbing one out didn’t solve,” he announces and we all laugh—all except Coley who gives him a disgusted look. What is it with her not liking Xander? Everyone loves this guy. There’s no time to ask now. Jesse, Kennedy, and Ethan walk up.
    “Ready?” Jesse asks.
    “Yep.”
    “Let’s rock their asses off!” he shouts, making his way onto the stage.
    I pick up my guitar, lift the strap over my shoulder, and finger the pick. I play the first chords of one of our new songs, Forbidden Destiny , and I can’t help but think about how fitting that is with regard to Coley.
    The sides of the stage are packed, Coley near the front with Lucian. When Jesse starts to sing, everything else fades out but the music.
    I knew it when I saw you (saw you)
    You were trouble
    I knew it when I saw you (saw you)
    You and I could never be
    I knew it when I saw you (saw you)
    You’re my Forbidden Destiny
     
    There are so many reasons why we can’t be (together)
    There are so many thoughts of what can’t be (forever)
    Time will roll on and my heart will weep (for you)
    Dreams will change and novelties fade (except you)
    My Forbidden Destiny
     
    You blew into my life (my life)
    Like a hurricane
    You got under my skin (my skin)
    Pure sin
    Like no other you tempted me (tempted me)
    My Forbidden Destiny.
     
    There are so many reasons why we can’t be (together)
    There are so many thoughts of what can’t be (forever)
    Time will roll on and my heart will weep (for you)
    Dreams will change and novelties fade (except you)
    My Forbidden Destiny
     
    Should I break the rules or accept you as…
    My Forbidden Destiny.
     
    I sigh as I strike the last chord. Coley broke through my zone. I look over and meet her gaze and the saucy minx sends me a wink. The next song up is Tempt Me .
    Nicole Harper is going to be the death of me.

    I’m a sweaty mess and in desperate need of a shower, but this redhead has been rubbing up on my dick for the last 20 minutes and I’m ready to fuck. I lead her from what Xander deemed the “party room” to another a few doors down. She immediately drops to her knees and wastes no time undoing my pants, pulling out my already hard cock, and sucking it into her mouth. Hell yeah.
    My head drops back, my
