traveled to my chest, and he bit his lip. “I want you.”
I sucked in a deep breath. “Later.”
“Now.”
“Later!” I laughed.
“Yeah, let’s make it later, all right, guys?” Lili said, exasperated. “Do you still want to introduce us to your friend? Because I need to find Lewis. He disappeared, and if I find him with some bitch in his arms, I won’t be as forgiving as Kenna.”
Groaning, Phil dropped his forehead to mine. “Yeah. And Lewis is in the kitchens.” He pushed himself off me.
“What the—”
“He knows the staff here,” Phil explained.
“Of course he does,” she seethed.
With his arm around my waist and his other around Lili’s shoulders—I guessed he’d forgiven the little shit for the shin kick—he steered us down the corridor and led us back to the spot where he had been sitting.
Camryn was sitting there, her long brown legs crossed, and she was sipping something icy and pink. When she spotted us, her pretty face split into a smile that irritated me.
Damn, she really is cute.
I was jealous, plain and simple. I hated that I was. But damn it…I didn’t want to have to see his past paraded about in miniskirts and big tits.
“Lili, Kenna, this is my friend Camryn. Camryn, that’s Lili—”
“Who aims low.” Camryn chuckled, making our lips twitch.
“Yeah, well, where else is she gonna aim?” he grumbled, his eyebrows knitting together in a scowl.
His gaze met mine, and his expression softened as his eyes sparkled. Camryn’s sharp intake of breath meant she had seen the change in him, too. He had never looked at her like that. I could almost hear Lili purring with smugness next to me.
“And this is my Baby Girl,” he told her, not taking his eyes from mine.
Breaking our gaze, I looked over at Camryn and extended my hand. “It’s nice to meet you.”
The smile she gave me didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Likewise.”
“Phil?”
“Yeah, Pygmy?”
“Can you please find my man? I haven’t seen him in over an hour. And let me know if he’s getting a hard-on over the appliances. I consider that cheating, too.”
Phil laughed and patted Lili on the head. “Sure thing.” Smiling, he leaned down and kissed me quickly on the lips. “I’ll be right back.”
“What time are we heading out today?” I asked Phil before taking a sip of my iced tea.
Nest was a laid-back little restaurant on the twenty-fourth floor of The Ritz-Carlton where Phil had decided to take us for a private late lunch.
“Um…I think the guys and I are headin’ out once we’re done with lunch. The event provides most of the sound equipment, but we have a lot of our own shit we want to use, so we need to make sure we have everythin’ ready for sound check. You guys don’t need to be there for that. You’ll just be bored. Hell, we’re fuckin’ bored durin’ sound checks. Sheri said she was gonna do somethin’ special for you all. I don’t know what. She wouldn’t tell me.”
“What do you guys usually do before a show?”
“Hang out in the dressing room, smoke a shit-ton of weed, drink some beers, and then go on stage. Tonight’s different though. We’re gonna have our faces painted as voodoo skulls, which means I gotta fuckin’ shave.”
“Aw, man!”
He chuckled. “You like the face fuzz, huh?”
Maybe a little too much. “It’s cool.”
“I should probably tell you…Camryn is doing the face paint for us.”
“Oh. Okay. Makes sense,” I replied although my chest burned with a spark of jealous fury.
Camryn seemed like a nice person and was easy to chat with. She was a makeup artist, and she’d had Lili and I laughing over some of the stories she had on the guys. She’d told us how she met them while touring Britain and Scandinavia before they headed to South America for the last leg of their world tour. She did makeup for some of the other bands since Our Boys didn’t wear that shit.
At first, I’d thought it was just my own jealousy bubbling beneath the surface, but something inside of me felt that there was something off about the girl. Since I hadn’t wanted Phil to get upset and have another bitch-fit, I’d kept my mouth shut and went along with it. However, after Camryn had left and Phil had been engaged in another conversation, Lili had quietly confessed that she had the same feeling, and that had set alarm bells off for me. Lili had a certain Spidey Sense about people. She just knew when people weren’t what
