at her in shock.
“Cam!”
“Wh at?” She shrugs. “The man is sex with sticks. He can thump his beat on me anytime. He knows it too. He’s ruined me. No one will ever measure up.”
“Have you told him?” I ask, knowing Aiden hasn’t said they are in a relationship any more than she has. They haven’t defined it but they are fucking crazy about each other.
Her eyes widen and she blushes. “No. I won’t do that. He’s the drummer for Shaft. There ’s no way in hell he wants to settle down right now. When I leave he will be right back to fuckin’ groupie pussy with Hunter. I’m fine with that, I guess. It’s the lifestyle you sign on to when you take on a guy like them. I’ll take whatever he’ll give me while it lasts. It’s all about having fun you know? So right now it works for me. I’m not about rockin’ the boat.”
As I turn my attention back to the stage I nod. We watch Shaft rock the shit out of the rest of their performance. Hunter, Gray and Aiden come together as one, completely blowing everyone away. People are screaming for Shaft. The guys are absorbing every ounce, giving it all back as they play. Landon and Tad have made no move to join us in the wing. As usual, Henry stands feet away against the wall observing everything. His black shades covering his face so that he is expressionless. His gaze drifting between the stage, the crowd, and Cam and me taking it all in like a robot.
Just like before, after Aiden flings his sticks to the crowd he walks off stage with Hunter. This time though they walk toward us. Cam leaps off of her stool, right into Aiden’s arms. “Whoa babe. Let’s at least make it to the bus.” He purrs as she sucks a patch of skin on his neck. “Fuck Cam!” He moans. “Staging room it is. Henry, we’re out man. Meet ya on the bus in an hour or so, this is gonna take a while.” He growls, as Cam wraps her legs around his waist. Turning he walks down the ramp toward the hall with Cam wrapped around him like a pretzel.
Hunter hops up on the stool Cam left. I turn my head back to the stage as Gray pulls a stool for himself over to the mic. “So Kansas City, I like to think that I can carry a tune so don’t boo me off alright?” He says with a chuckle.
As his fingers strum his guitar, those shimmering steel eyes meet mine. Gray’s eyes are burning making me squirm as he watches me. He starts singing, mesmerizing the audience from the start. It’s a song about being with someone that you know is with someone else. A one night stand that gripped you by the balls so hard you can’t let go of how it made you feel. Gray sings about knowing it was wrong, but it’s not over. Wanting to know how he compares to him.
I sit completely frozen. Gray watches me as each word pours from his lips. Sex and sin. It’s what he is. It’s what he brings in everything he does. Is Landon listening? I wonder if he puts two and two together… The guilt creeps in. I realize that I am no better than Landon even if he went there first. I am not innocent in this, not anymore. I want Gray. I can’t deny it. It doesn’t feel wrong. When we are together it feels amazing and right now nothing about Landon feels right. I remember Cam mentioning before the show that it says something if my heart is broken. Well it isn’t. Does that mean that Landon isn’t it for me? If I can be angry but not heartbroken…am I not as in love with Landon as I thought?
Hunter leans over pulling me from the thoughts inside my head as he whispers, “Thing For You by Hinder. Great shit. He has the ladies creamin’. I’m gonna see if he wants to hit the bar after. Time to cash in on all that pussy.”
Once Gray finishes, he thanks the crowd before introducing No Approval. Grabbing his stool he exits the stage, heading straight for me. “Let’s hit the bar
