night in a game of poker, but I think he was running me since he knew I was trashed.” Matty started laughing.

They walked up to her and each gave her a hug, and before they dragged Five away he hugged her in greeting, too.

“I’d like you to meet Black Pearl.” Jacks stepped aside and started introducing everyone. “This is Zane, the lead singer. Taye is the guitarist, Blue the bassist, and Cotton is their drummer.”

They all greeted her, and after Jacks started talking music stuff with them, things like rifts and chords, they left minutes later. Then it was just her and Jacks, and they stared at each other for a few seconds.

“They seem really nice and down to earth.” She smiled.

“They’re cool. I think you guys will get along really good.” He grinned and flashed his straight, white teeth. He still wore his sunglasses, and although she felt his gaze on her, she couldn’t see his blue eyes. “They’ll be in that bus.” He pointed to the smaller, yet still impressive and luxurious tour bus behind the one she presumed Twisted Feather would be traveling on. “You ready?” He smiled at her, and before she could say anything he pulled her in for a hug. He buried his face in her hair and inhaled deeply. “I missed you, Tanner.” He ran his big hand over her back in slow sweeping motions.

She melted against him, felt herself grow aroused just from the fact that he touched her.

“I want you so bad. It’s been building the last couple of days, Tanner.” He slid his hands lower, curved his fingers around her ass, and growled low in his throat.

God, she loved the sound he made. It was like an animal was taking control of him. It was a noise all for her. Over the last week she hadn’t only been thinking about this career opportunity.

She had also been thinking about how things could have gone from her and Jacks not talking for five years to them being … this. No complaints on her end, but it was very surreal.

“You’re insatiable.” A low gasp left her when he nipped her earlobe.

“Only for you, baby.” He squeezed her ass again. “But I meant it when I said I missed you.”

“It was only a week.” She pulled back, and although she had said that, she did know what he meant. It was like this string was connected to them both, and being with him strengthened it. Maybe it was a silly analogy, but it was the truth. It looked like one of her best friends was now something much more to her. Something she had always wanted.

Once she had decided to come along, everything had moved pretty quickly. With them being on tour there really wasn’t a lot of time, and she needed to get used to this fast paced lifestyle because she assumed it would only get more frantic. Before she had left for Aspen to meet the guys the band’s attorney had come to her house with a stack of legal papers for her to sign.

Her father had stayed and gone over everything, and although she trusted the guys she was thankful for her father’s knowledge with this legal jargon, because she had one hell of a time trying to figure it all out.

“Come on. Darren wants to go over some computer shit with you.” Jacks took hold of her bags and leaned down to kiss her right there in front of everyone.

She heard Five give out a catcall, and although she hadn’t thought they would hide anything, she was a bit surprised he had just gone for it right away.

He pulled away and grinned. “Did I embarrass you?” There was a teasing note in Jacks’ voice.

She felt her cheeks heat, but not from embarrassment, but because she was already so aroused, and only from a hug and little peck. “No.” She felt this prickling on the back of her neck and lifted her head to see a young woman standing over by the tour bus. She was dressed in shorts that were the size of some of Tanner’s underwear, and a cropped top that left very little to the imagination.

But what was more evident was that the girl was staring Tanner down. That was clear even though she wore these big ass Jackie-O sunglasses.

He started chuckling, and Tanner turned her attention back to Jacks. He was still laughing, and she knew it was because he didn’t believe her when she said that
