yes, he’s the hot guy from the pictures.” The crowd cheers and laughs.
“I know I said I didn’t want you wasting your life waiting around for me, but I’ve never regretted something so much in my entire life,” she confesses. “I thought that saying those words would make me feel better about being on the road without you. But it didn’t. It made me feel worse because I was afraid of you moving on without me.” She shakes her head. “I now know that I don’t want you moving on without me. I want us moving through life together, even when we can’t be together. And I know this isn’t fair to ask of you, but will you waste your life with me?” She gives me a sweet smile and I can’t help but laugh.
I look out at the crowd and raise the mic to my lips. “What do you guys think? Should I take her up on her offer?”
They scream loudly—some of them jumping and making a loud booming sound that echoes around the theater. I laugh and raise the mic back to my mouth. “Luna, there is no one else I’d rather waste my life with than you.”
Her smile breaks free now and she runs into my arms. Her arms snake around my neck and her legs wrap around my waist. Her mouth smashes against mine and I kiss her like I’ve been dying to all this time. I pour out every last bit of love I have for her, and suddenly, the crowd in front of us vanishes and their screams goes silent. In this moment, there’s no one here but the two of us.
She pulls back and looks me in the eyes. “I love you, Daniel, and I’m sorry I didn’t say it sooner.”
“I love you too, Luna,” I reply, moving back in for another kiss.
“Carry me off stage?”
“I’ll carry you anywhere,” I agree, moving us back behind the side curtain where no one can see. The guys follow along behind us and I set her on her feet. They all greet me with high fives and fist bumps.
The stage goes dark but the crowd carries on, screaming for Luna and the guys.
She places her arms on my shoulders. “We have to go back out for one more song. Will you wait here for me?”
“I’ll wait anywhere for you.” I press one more quick kiss to her lips just as the crowd starts chanting. “Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore!”
Lane’s fingers slide across his guitar, and one by one, the band goes back out on stage. Fire bursts up and the music is back full force. I watch from the sidelines as someone hands Luna her guitar and they start playing their big single to wrap up the show.
You couldn’t beat the smile off my face right now. Luna and I are together and will be for the rest of our lives, even if we have to part from time to time. Finally, we know we’re getting our happy ending.
When they finish up on stage, she comes running off, taking my hand and leading me back to her dressing room. When the door closes behind us, she spins me around, pressing my back to the door as her lips find mine.
“I love you, I love you, I love you,” she says between kisses. “I have a lot to make up for,” she says as her hands push beneath my jeans. Her hand wraps around me and it causes me to take a hissing breath.
“Fuck, Luna, this is going to be quick,” I tell her, spinning her around and bending her over the back of the couch as I flip up her skirt and lower her panties.
Seconds later, I’m pushing my way inside her, right where I belong. She lets out a sexy moan that has every hair on my body standing on end. Every muscle tightens as I thrust into her, giving her all I’ve got. It only takes minutes before we’re both shattering into a million pieces.
When I remove myself from her, she spins around and kisses me. “That was only a sample of what’s to come, right?”
I laugh and kiss her. “How much time do we have before you need to leave?”
“Well, I was kind of hoping you could join us for a while. Fly home from wherever we are in a week or so?”
I laugh as I lean in for another kiss. “I’ll see what I can do.”
While she packs her things to get back
