Page 61 of How to Catch a Rockstar

“Correction. You used to not do relationships.”

I flip Gibson off and he chuckles. “This is going to be fun.”

I don’t bother correcting him. He’s not listening anyway.

What’s gotten into him? He knows my history. He knows why I don’t do relationships. Why I can’t be a good partner.

Aurora moans and I glance back at her. Her eyes are closed as she sips on her mint tea.

I can’t believe I’m jealous of a fucking cup of tea. But I want to be the one to make her moan. I want to be the one she’s cradling with her hands. My cock twitches in my pants.

I need to stop thinking about making Aurora moan before I get hard in front of my bandmates. I’d never hear the end of it.

I turn around and catch Gibson watching me. He grins and mouths fun.

This time I flip him off with both hands.

Chapter 21

Defend – when you stick up for someone because her boss is an asshole

Aurora

I run through my to-do list checking items off as I go. “Done. Done. Done.”

Today is the first concert of the week-long tour for Cash & the Sinners and there’s still a ton of work to do. Especially since Mike wants everything done his way. And his way is a pain in my ass.

The members of the band tumble into the room. I check my watch before ticking sound check off of my list.

“The sound check is finished?”

Jett collapses on a sofa and taps his sticks on his thighs. “Yep. We’re ready to rock.”

“And roll,” Gibson finishes.

Jett’s body vibrates with excitement. He gets off on the adrenaline high of the concerts. He usually enjoys other adrenaline highs as well. But since suffering a concussion at the surfing competition, he hasn’t been able to go on any adventures.

I frown. Is this why he’s been so concerned with me and the baby? He’s stuck at home with nothing to do. Will he abandon us the second he’s medically cleared to go rock climbing or skydiving or whatever adventure catches his fancy?

Abandon us? I nearly snort. Jett isn’t with us. Is he being sweet and considerate? Yes, he is. But he also hasn’t claimed the baby as his. And he’s made it perfectly clear he doesn’t ever plan to.

I scowl. What is his problem? I know he doesn’t want children. But this child is here whether he wants him to be or not.

I rub a hand over my stomach. It’s okay, Little Bean. I will never abandon you.

“Are you okay?” Jett asks from in front of me. He must have snuck up on me while I was daydreaming.

“I’m fine.”

“You’re sure you’re not feeling nauseous? It’s common to feel nauseous in the second trimester.”

“How do you know? Have you been reading a baby book?”

“Yeah, Jett. Have you been reading a baby book?” Gibson teases.

Jett scowls. “None of your damn business.”

Dylan frowns. “You didn’t buy the baby books I recommended?”
