Page 99 of How to Catch a Rockstar

I curtsey. “Thank you. You don’t look so bad yourself.”

Jett’s wearing a pair of dark jeans and a button-down shirt. The sleeves are rolled up to reveal the tattoos on his forearms. There’s something about a well-dressed man showing off hints of tattoos that revs my engine. Although, if I’m being honest, everything about this man revs my engines.

He kisses my cheek before tucking my hand into his elbow and opening the door. “Your chariot awaits.”

I frown at the golf cart. “It’s a five-minute walk. Why are we using the golf cart?”

“It’s slippery. I don’t want you to fall.”

“You might as well give in,” Leia hollers from next door where she’s climbing into Fender’s Hummer with her daughter Isla. “We’ll never make our reservation otherwise.”

“Fine. Whatever.”

Jett leads me to the golf cart and off we go. We drive behind Fender and arrive at Naked Falls Brewing in less than five minutes where we park next to Cash’s car.

Dylan climbs out of the car and helps Virginia out. I gasp when I see her.

“Don’t start,” Virginia groans. “I know I’m as big as a house.”

Dylan growls. “You’re not fat. You’re growing our baby.”

“I had to fall in love with a giant.”

Leia joins us. “It’ll all be worth it once the baby’s here.”

“Let’s go inside before we freeze to death out here,” Dylan says.

Virgina rolls her eyes. “It’s not freezing out here but what do I know? I’m merely a vessel for this baby until it’s born.”

Dylan takes her arm and leads her to the door.

I glare up at Jett. He holds up his hands. “What did I do?”

“If you get as protective as Dylan, I’m killing you in your sleep.”

“I wouldn’t dare,” he murmurs before kissing my forehead.

“I’d hide the kitchen knives anyway,” Cash says.

Indigo slaps his stomach. “Do not encourage Jett.”

Fender grunts and Leia rolls her eyes. “We need to go inside before Isla freezes to death.”

“I’m not cold, Dad.” Isla stomps to the door.

We gather inside in front of the hostess station. Miller and Elder, the owners of the brewery, are greeting guests this evening. When they spot us, Elder immediately steps forward and motions toward the stairs.

“Come on.” He herds us up the stairs.

“What’s going on?” I ask him once we’re on the upper floor.

“The tourists are out in droves tonight. I didn’t want anyone to catch sight of you.”

Cash claps him on the back. “Thanks, bro. We appreciate it.”

Cash isn’t kidding with the ‘bro’ thing. They are actually brothers. Half-brothers to be accurate. It’s a long story but basically, Cash found his birth father and the discovery led him to find six half-brothers. All of whom live in Winter Falls.

“I’ll keep the out-of-towners downstairs, but you’ll have to share this area with locals.” Elder leans close. “And by locals, I mean the gossip gals.” He nods to a table where the five elderly women are seated with two men who appear to be watching something on a phone.
