Chapter One

The heavy bass guitar line that rumbled from the auditorium’s loud speakers caused Lindsey’s entire body to throb She’d been to several Sole Regret concerts at stadiums, so was painfully aware that their local auditorius any justice The intimacy of the small venue made up for the inferior sound systee before The anticipation of seeing the fiveout of her worn velveteen theater seat and leaning against the curved wooden chair back in front of her She didn’t even care that the move earned her several annoyed looks and a loudly hissed, “Sit down!” from someone behind her

Sit down? At a Sole Regret concert? Was it even possible to ree?

Lindsey’s best friend, Vanessa, grabbed her wrist and forced her to sit in her seat again “Your boss is here,” she whispered harshly “Try to control yourself”

That was easier said than done Lindsey squir Owen play, but not yet being able to see hiirly bits

When Lindsey caught her first glimpse of the bassist as he strolled casually across the creaky wooden stage, fingering thick strings with a steady cadence, she aleous His light brown hair was styled into a playful sweep that brushed his forehead She couldn’t see the color of his eyes fro at his pictures for hours on end that they were a hypnotic, brilliant blue Her gaze moved from his perfect profile, down his neck to his body Her hands clenched as she fought her need to launch herself on stage, tackle hiround, and explore every inch of his hard physique Tonight Oore a tight navy blue T-shirt that clung to his nicely s swayed between his cut pectoral muscles As he continued his intro, she becaers over the thick strings of his bass guitar Why were guitarists so fking hot? It simply wasn’t fair

Lindsey groaned aloud as she iers could do to her body What she wouldn’t give to be that man’s fret board

“Girl,” Vanessa said, “you’re seriously crackin’ a ht now, aren’t you?”

Lindsey’s panties were decidedly wet She couldn’t deny it “He’s just so…” Her entire body shuddered as she couldn’t find words sensual enough to describe the man

Vanessa rolled her eyes “Puh-lease He’s cute and all, but I don’t think theO”

Lindsey released a breathless chuckle “You’d be wrong, Nessi I’m halfway there already”

Vanessa turned her head in the opposite direction “T M I,” she said under her breath

When the dru progression of bass drum thuds, Lindsey’s heart thumped to match his rhythm She could just make out the red tips of Gabe’sdruression of beats on the skins As the tee and rushed forward, halting at the front edge as the rest of the band cah Lindsey’s body She was such a groupie for these guys If her prudish boss, as seated several seats to Lindsey’s left, hadn’t been sending her disapproving looks frolasses, Lindsey would have already shed her bra and tossed it on stage Fortunately, Lindsey still had enough self-control to keep herself fro her bare brsts at the band Maybe

Owen held a special appeal for Lindsey, but there was so about the band’s vocalist, Shade Silverton, that deed the audience to its feet by holding one hand at waist level and lifting it up and down Lindsey knew they wouldn’t be able to keep to their seats long Even the stodgiest of attendees—who nor a metal concert—obediently rose from their chairs It was easier for Lindsey to enjoy herself when the two rather large lare of death She was grateful to Mrs Weston for hiring her to work at her investe of every aspect of Lindsey’s life—both inside and outside the confines of the office It was a good thing Mrs Weston wasn’t a mind reader She’d have been utterly scandalized by the X-rated thoughts racing through Lindsey’s ret’s hit song, “Darker” Tall, dark and lasses, Shade Silverton gave off an energy of raw, sexual power What was it about the man that made her want to drop to her knees and suck his ck down her throat?

“Now that lued to Shade, who coe in his unquestionable self-confidence “I just want to…”

“Suck him off?”

Vanessa laughed “Oh yeah I’m on my knees already”

The rhyth into Owen’s ear They were both laughing at their lead singer and lead guitarist who see for crowd adulation Lindsey worshipped the entire band They didn’t need to fight for her attention But those ten and Kellen—made her entire body hum with pent up desire

Where Owen had light eyes and hair, Kellen was a bronze god with shoulder length black hair and almost black eyes that could stare a person into a coma She praised all deities that the , lean body was filled out perfectly with tight muscles beneath taut, tanned skin Tattoos decorated both arms in colorful sleeves There was an intensity about Kellen Janore it And when he and Owen stood side-by-side, there was nothingon the planet That’s why the pair of them were at the top of her fk-it list She and Vanessa had constructed their fk-it lists a fewabout their concurrent lack of boyfriends

The list was comprised of the three iven the opportunity she was given a free pass to slut it up It didn’t matter if she was currently involved in a relationship, nant, or had become a cloistered nun If the ainst her Vanessa said so and her friend had never steered her wrong Much
