tongue ran absently over my bottom lip. He winked at me, which made me blush.
His voice was everywhere, vibrating from the speakers. Low. Deep. The sway of the song, the constant beat of the drums.
All of the intense pieces were mixing together in the sexy darkness of the bar. It was getting hot in here. My fingers gripped my thighs as he caught my gaze again and grinned.
“Are you two eye-fucking right now?” Peyton whispered in my ear.
The heat flushed my cheeks as I glanced over at her. Maybe I was attracted to Landon Evans just as much as Lucky.
T he red dirt billowed out from behind the truck as we flew down the road. He grinned at me a few times before reaching across the seat and taking my hand. “Have you ever been this far out of town?”
“No.”
“It’s better in the spring. All green.”
I leaned back against the seat taking in the scene. I was still tired from last night—one of many long nights in a string of long nights over the last couple of weeks.
Letting go of my fingers, Lucky shifted gears as we turned into a gravel driveway. I peered out the window, seeing a house with a little round tower on one end that reminded me of a castle. Lucky parked the truck in the circle driveway and pointed up toward the roof. “That right there on the end is Mia’s princess room.”
“Because every little girl needs a princess room?”
“Exactly.” He laughed.
I surveyed the outside of his brother’s home. Colt must be pretty successful with his company because this house was gorgeous. I followed Lucky around the scattered toys across the lawn.
The walkway by the patio had M IA and Z ACH permanently etched into the ground. The sight made my heart flutter as the nostalgia swept through me. Those kids would step over those words a thousand times. And those names would still be in that exact same spot when they packed their cars for college.
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing.” Shaking my head, I quickly caught up with Lucky and he put his arm around my waist. We walked around the pool that was covered with the winter tarp. He stopped in front of the building on the other side. I burst out laughing, seeing the door to his “pool house.”
“What’s so funny?”
“Well. I’d imagined you living on a cot next to inflatable rafts and a giant rubber ducky.”
“A rubber ducky?” He opened the door, letting me go in before him.
“How was I to know your brother’s idea of a pool house was something from MTV Cribs ?”
The inside was beautiful with a fireplace and dark wood. It reminded me of some posh cabin in the woods. I turned around, looking for the stuffed grizzly bear. Instead, I got a full view of granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
“Colt didn’t originally have this as part of his house. He added it about two years ago. You know, every country superstar needs a place to hide from the cameras.”
“Oh, so now you think you’re a country superstar?” I gave him a playful whack to the arm.
Lucky grabbed me from behind, wrapping his arms around my whole body, pinning my hands to my sides. He kissed the side of my jaw and then pressed his lips on my neck. “If you start hitting me, I’ll just have to hold you down and torture you.”
I relaxed into his chest. I liked the feel of him. The way he curved around me. The way he fit against my body. I tipped my chin back, seeing the smile on his face. He was too cute for his own good. And last night, I did see a superstar on that stage. But I wouldn’t let him in on that little secret because it would just make his head blow up ten times bigger.
Lucky let go and went into the kitchen. “You want something to drink? I got Coke and beer. Maybe some lemonade if Mia didn’t drink it all.”
“Coke’s good.” I walked into the living room, seeing several guitars on a stand and scattered papers by a keyboard. “You play piano?”
“Yeah, sometimes I write on the piano. I play by ear, which makes writing
