"She's different," Lucian announces and both Justin's and my eyebrows go up. He nods and I clench my fists. Fuck.
"We're on, dude," Xander tells me as he walks up. "Coley, you're seriously hot out there. I was so fucking hard my dick could have pounded nails." He gives her his playful grin and she rolls her eyes.
"Sounds like a personal problem."
"It was, oh, it was. Nothing rubbing one out didn't solve," he announces and we all laugh-all except Coley who gives him a disgusted look. What is it with her not liking Xander? Everyone loves this guy. There's no time to ask now. Jesse, Kennedy, and Ethan walk up.
"Ready?" Jesse asks.
"Yep."
"Let's rock their asses off!" he shouts, making his way onto the stage.
I pick up my guitar, lift the strap over my shoulder, and finger the pick. I play the first chords of one of our new songs, Forbidden Destiny, and I can't help but think about how fitting that is with regard to Coley.
The sides of the stage are packed, Coley near the front with Lucian. When Jesse starts to sing, everything else fades out but the music.
*I knew it when I saw you (saw you)
You were trouble
I knew it when I saw you (saw you)
You and I could never be
I knew it when I saw you (saw you)
You're my Forbidden Destiny
There are so many reasons why we can't be (together)
There are so many thoughts of what can't be (forever)
Time will roll on and my heart will weep (for you)
Dreams will change and novelties fade (except you)
My Forbidden Destiny
You blew into my life (my life)
Like a hurricane
You got under my skin (my skin)
Pure sin
Like no other you tempted me (tempted me)
My Forbidden Destiny.
There are so many reasons why we can't be (together)
There are so many thoughts of what can't be (forever)
Time will roll on and my heart will weep (for you)

My Forbidden Destiny
Should I break the rules or accept you as …
My Forbidden Destiny.*
I sigh as I strike the last chord. Coley broke through my zone. I look over and meet her gaze and the saucy minx sends me a wink. The next song up is Tempt Me.
Nicole Harper is going to be the death of me.
I'm a sweaty mess and in desperate need of a shower, but this redhead has been rubbing up on my dick for the last 20 minutes and I'm ready to fuck. I lead her from what Xander deemed the "party room" to another a few doors down. She immediately drops to her knees and wastes no time undoing my pants, pulling out my already hard cock, and sucking it into her mouth. Hell yeah.
My head drops back, my eyes close, and I wind her hair around my fist. This chick sucks at giving head. No shit, jacking off would feel better. I thrust my hips and hit the back of her throat.
"Suck me harder," I command and she does. I sigh. Still not good. Fuck it.
"Get up," I tell her and I bend her over the table in front of us. I hike up her skirt. Nice tight ass. I like that. I bend down and grab a condom from my pocket and slip it on. I push her thong aside, test her pussy with a finger, and fuck me, she's wet.
I lean over her, gripping her hair again, and tell her through gritted teeth, "I'm going to fuck you hard and fast and this won't take long, so if you want to get off, you better finger your clit."
"Mmm," she purrs and mutters something in her whiny tone that I don't even pay attention to.
I position my cock and slip right in. Damn. Tight, wet heat squeezing my cock. I slam into her, my balls slapping against her ass, as I look for my much-needed nut. When she pushes back against me, I grunt.
"Yeah, keep doing that," I tell her. She mutters something again but all I hear is a buzzing in my ears-then a pop. What the … ?
I look over. The door's open a crack and there, on a table in the hall, sits Coley in a short skirt and shirt so low I see the lace of her bra. She's just sitting there, hands gripping the edge of the table a bit too tightly, kicking her legs, chewing her gum, and watching me fuck this chick.
What the fuck?
I narrow my eyes at her and she lifts a brow. Just seeing her there has the first sign of my orgasm making its appearance. The challenge in her eyes has me thrusting harder. When she uses her tongue to blow a bubble, I groan aloud. When she pulls the stray pieces of gum off of her lip, I'm so close it hurts to hold back. And then she does it. She sticks her finger in her mouth and she sucks. I close my eyes for a second then open them, her finger still in her mouth. Fuck.
There's no holding back now. No fucking way. Not when she tempts me by spreading her legs and showing me her white cotton panties. That's so fucking sexy. I just pump once, twice and I'm coming hot and hard into the condom, my eyes locked with Coley's. A smirk forms on that gorgeous mouth as I come hard and groan so loud she hears me. When she presses her legs together and squirms. I know she's wet and I know a few touches will get her off.
"Fuck," I mutter and the chick purrs something she thinks is sexy. I want to tell her it's not her that got me off, but the girl sitting on the table in the hall. When I look back from tossing the condom, Coley's gone, as if the whole thing never happened.
But I know it happened and so does she. She doesn't have to prove to me I want her and that it'll be fantastic. I already know it. God, how I know it. It just can't happen no matter how much she tempts me.
Chapter 4
Coley
I'm not sure what compelled me to stop when I saw Ben fucking that chick. There was absolutely no intimacy involved. He was merely using her body to get off-and she let him. It's not the first time I've seen these guys fucking chicks. I mean, we're talking Ethan, Kennedy, Jace, and Ben here, not to mention the roadies. Jesus, the kinky shit the roadies do on stage when the shows are over. I shudder. That is certainly not for me.
But Ben? He's for me. I saw it tonight when he looked at me. He couldn't help himself. He stared at me and when I put my finger in my mouth, his nostrils flared and I knew, I just knew he was going to come. When he closed his eyes, then opened them to laser into mine, his face contorted with pleasure and he let out the sexiest groan I'd ever heard. I got wet from hearing it. It was hot watching him fuck that chick but looking at me while he did it-a bit perverse? Yeah, but it was still hot.
I made sure I was gone before he turned back around. It certainly would have been awkward if the chick had caught me watching. I should have fingered myself right there on the table. I wonder what he would have done. But there were too many people around.
"BB," Lucian calls out, breaking me out of my daydreaming as I lean against the wall outside. "What are you doing?"
"I needed some air. It's been quite a night."
"That it has. Tell me, Coley Harper, what's your favorite thing to do?"
"Read." I don't even pause. He smiles.
"Book nerds are sexy," he says, leaning in to push some of the hair out of my face. I want nothing more in this moment than to take this damn wig off and put my scarf back on.
"Lucian, you know I'm sick, right?"
He nods. "I do. But you're in remission, right?"
I give him a wry grin. "For now. There's no saying how long it'll last."
"Okay. You take medication?"
"Yes. The reason I'm asking you is because this damn wig is making me sweat and I'd really like nothing more than to put my thin scarf back on instead. But if it'll freak you out, then we'll stick with the wig," I tell him straight up.
He's frowning now. Shit.
"Nicole," he whispers, then reaches up to touch the wig. "How do you take it off?"
I hold my hands over his and help him. I'm not sure what it is about Lucian that tells me I can trust him. When the wig is off, I run my hand over my sweaty scalp and breathe with relief.
"Feel better?" he asks.
"Much, thanks." I take the silk scarf from around my neck and wrap it around my head.
"You're beautiful, babe," Justin says from the doorway, startling me. I didn't know he was there.
"Thank you, but you don't have to say that. I know what I look like when I'm wig-less and with barely any makeup on." I'm average looking at best when I'm healthy, so beautiful is way beyond pushing it.
Justin blows out the smoke from the drag he just took off his cigarette. "Look, I don't bullshit. You'll find that out quick enough."
"I suppose I will."
"I can see why you like her," he tells Lucian.
Lucian nods slightly.
"What time do you think we're going to pull out tonight?" I ask.
"Who knows," Justin answers. "Four, maybe five?"
I sigh. I'm exhausted. Dancing up there under the lights, it was so damn hot even with the fans on me.
"I think the princess is about to turn into a pumpkin," Lucian says.
"You've got your fairy tale all messed up," I tease and he grins.
