Page 45 of How to Love a Rockstar

I capture her hand and hold it to my chest.

“I wasn’t bragging. I was merely stating a fact.” I rub circles on her palm with my thumb and her breath catches. There goes another chip in her wall.

“This is my favorite project,” Petal declares.

“Speaking of project.” Sage points to the loveseat in the front room. “Your seat awaits, Dylan and Virginia.”

I study the loveseat. It’s barely big enough to hold my large frame. Ginny will have to sit real close in order for us both to fit. Perfect.

“Your chariot awaits, milady.” I bow to Ginny and motion toward the seat.

She stares at me for a moment and I hold my breath. Did I push too fast? Will she turn me down in front of the entire town?

“Okay.”

I keep hold of her hand as I lead her to the loveseat. I wait for her to sit before joining her. Her brow wrinkles when she realizes what a tight fit it is but she doesn’t protest. Excellent.

“Here you go.” Indigo drops a bucket of beer next to the chair and hands me a big bowl of popcorn.

“Thanks.”

I hand Ginny the popcorn. “You want a beer?”

“Yes, please.”

I open one for her before grabbing a bottle of my own.

Juniper clears her throat. “If the rockstar and librarian are ready now?”

I give Juniper a thumbs-up. “All ready.”

The movie begins to play and I settle in. I wrap an arm around Ginny’s shoulder. When she doesn’t protest, I begin to play with the ends of her hair. It’s not up in her typical bun today. The strands are smooth as silk. I bet they’d feel good fisted in my hand while she kneels before me.

Hell yeah. My cock is immediately on board. Thank goodness it’s dark in here and Ginny can’t see my erection. Just in case. I shift my beer to hide my crotch.

By the time the movie ends, Ginny is leaning into me. With her body pressed against mine, I can feel all of her curves. Curves I want to examine for myself. Touch and explore with my mouth and my hands.

The lights switch on and Ginny straightens before lifting her hands in the air to stretch her back. Her breasts jut forward and my mouth waters.

“I’m really not looking forward to moving all the furniture back.”

I jump to my feet and offer her my hand. “I’ll help.”

But there’s no need for our help. The attendees of the movie night are almost finished putting the tables and chairs back where they should be when the library opens in the morning.

“Huh. Why didn’t Gratitude tell me the town would help? I could have had them help put everything in place before the movie, too.”

“But then you wouldn’t have seen me flexing my muscles.”

I flex my bicep for her, and she giggles. It’s a sound I want to hear every day for the rest of my life. I knew I wanted Ginny the second I saw her in the back room of the library, but the more I get to know her, the more I realize I want more than a few dates with her. I want all of her time.

Now to convince her to give me a chance.

I offer her my arm. “Shall I walk you home, Ms. Scott?”

She taps her chin as she contemplates for a few moments. The little minx is teasing me. After nearly a minute, she blows out a breath of air.

“I guess. Since we’re going to the same apartment building and all, you may accompany me.”
