“Yes, Keira! I saw the way you held her hand You pitched her for this photography thing And it will make these prints fly off the shelves even quicker if they think these are inti shared It all works out You get the girl, Keira gets her art out there and the fans get to feel like they are a part of your heartbreak and recovery”

“I don’t know if Keira will go for so like that”

“What’s not to go for? You’re a good looking guy, she’s a good looking girl Things like this happen on tour Play it up for soolden Then when your tour starts the love affair continues”

“I’e”

“You don’t think she’s using you for hers? She’s raising her profile in a big way” He didn’t like the idea of pushing this on her, but he had a feeling if he balked they wouldn’t back her for the job What was a little harot theh the phone on his desk “Your nextis here,” came the disembodied voice

Keira perched on the edge of one of the couches, biting her botto in a way he couldn’t describe, just froether He could have spent all night talking to her at the bar She was easy going and while she liked his irl all over hi about the way she looked at hi soe took his breath away

They could keep things casual, but he looked forward to spending time with her on tour Close quarters, lots of time on their hands, it was only a ood they could be together He’d wanted to taste her from the minute he saw her lips wrapped around the straw of her drink He wanted to feel her under him He didn’t know the last time he’d wanted someone as much as he wanted Keira

Keira sent a quick text to her sister to let her know she wouldn’t have to worry about what to do this suht she’d be on couch duty at her sister’s place for the summer The broad smile across his face when Eric walked out of the exec’s office had her letting out a huge breath, she hadn’t realized she’d been holding That had to ood news She stood, portfolio in her hand and a smile on her face

“Good news?” she said, cautiously

“Great, news You did it,” he said, picking her up and whirling her around She dropped her portfolio and threw her head back, laughing He stopped spinning her and she put her arround Staring into his eyes, the spark he always started with her ignited sohis door open, they both turned to look at him and Keira dropped her arms from around Eric’s neck

The exec save her one of her photos that had fallen out of the portfolio

“Welcome to the tour Ms Weston I know you’ll do a wonderful job in helping fans truly connect with Eric”
