She closed her eyes to keep the threatening tears from spilling. “I understand,” she whispered.
“You understand what?”
“That you don’t want anything to do with me.”
He knocked on her skull with his knuckles. “I thought you were supposed to be smart up here.”
She opened her eyes to find him grinning at her. “What do you mean?”
He leaned close and whispered, “I’ll teach you anything you want to know. When would you like to start?”
Now, her body demanded. Unfortunately, her brain didn’t agree with that degree of spontaneity and inhibition. “As soon as we can be alone,” she whispered.
“Do you want to skip the radio interview?”
Yes, her body demanded. Unfortunately her brain realized they both had a job to do and that job didn’t include her learning how to give oral pleasure.
She sighed. “We can’t.”
He echoed her sigh. “You’re right. After the interview we have to travel to the venue for tonight’s performance. Once we get there, there’ll be sound check, then a meet and greet, dinner, and then the show followed by the after-party. Maybe I can call in sick. The band doesn’t really need a bassist. We’re highly overrated.”
She chuckled at his willingness to teach her. She was starting to believe she’d had an excellent idea. After he taught her how to please him with her mouth, she could request additional tutorials. Then maybe when they parted, she could find a boyfriend. Though she’d really like to be Logan’s girl, she knew he’d lose interest in her pretty quickly. And that was understandable. They were from completely different worlds. And she wasn’t exactly the kind of woman who rock stars dated. Or judging from past experience, the kind of girl who anyone dated.
“Are you laughing at me?” he asked.
She tried to stop grinning like a fool, but couldn’t help it. “Nope. I’m just glad you agreed to this.”
Now he was the one laughing. “Yeah, teaching you to suck my dick is such a hardship.” He stroked her hair from her face with one hand and kissed her temple. She smiled in bliss until she noticed everyone was now staring at them. Dare in particular looked pissed.
Reluctantly she tugged away from Logan and sat with her hands in her lap. Her behavior obviously disturbed them all. She wouldn’t want to do something to get herself booted from their entourage. She was here to work, after all, not get involved with their bass player.
“How do you guys do all this day after day?” Toni asked. “You must be exhausted.”
“We run on pure adrenaline,” Dare said. “That’s why we crash so hard at night.”
“The guys get every fourth day off,” Butch said, as if that was pampering them.
“And I will not be moving from my hotel bed for a full twenty-four hours,” Logan said. He leaned closer to Toni and whispered, “I hope you’ll join me.”
She flushed. She couldn’t help it. She would very much like to spend twenty-four hours in bed with him but couldn’t fathom what they could possibly do to entertain themselves for that long. Watch TV? Maybe he had some ideas.
“What are you thinking?” he asked.
“That I wouldn’t know what to do with you for twenty-four hours.”
He grinned devilishly. “I need far more than twenty-four hours to do all the things I want to do with you.”
His lips brushed the side of her neck, and she sucked in a shaky breath.
“Mmm,” he murmured. “There are so many things I want to show you, Toni. Teach you.”
“Yes,” was the only word she could manage.
“Logan,” Reagan said, “will you give the woman some breathing room? She looks a little overwhelmed.”
Toni wanted to hide under the seat. She hadn’t realized all the limo occupants were staring at them. And here she’d been contemplating ripping off her shirt and clinging to Logan’s thick hair as he sucked her throbbing breasts. She forced her body to move so that there were several inches between them.
Logan scowled at Reagan. “Seriously? If Trey was here, you’d be all over him.”
“Well, he isn’t, so it’s a nonissue.”
“You’d better get that stiffy under control before we get to the radio station,” Steve advised, shaking his head at Logan’s disgrace.
“I was working on that before Reagan interrupted.”
Toni’s gaze dropped to Logan’s crotch. Oh my, he was hard. She had no idea what possessed her to grab it right there in front of everyone. Logan produced a sound, half groan, half whimper. He covered her bold hand with his and squeezed.
