Page 71 of How to Catch a Rockstar

Tingles erupt throughout my body. Jett only wants me? I’ve been hoping to hear those words for years now. Maybe I’m not dreaming. Maybe this is real. “What?”

He cradles my face in his hands. “You, my feisty girl who drives me absolutely bananas with how stubborn you are, are the only person I want to be with.”

“And what about the two women you were with last week?” I spit out the question. I don’t want to be with a man who can’t keep it in his pants.

“I told you. Nothing happened.”

I narrow my eyes on him. “Nothing happened? They were naked and nothing happened?”

“I was trying to forget you. To get you out of my mind. It didn’t work. The second one of them touched me, I wanted to hurl.”

I snort. “I bet that went over well.”

“They were pretty pissed when I stopped the party to chase after you.”

“To chase after me?” He chased after me? He didn’t stay with those women?

“I’ll always chase after you, Aurora. You try to leave me and I’m chasing after you.”

I chew on my bottom lip. “I don’t know if this is a good idea.”

I know how it feels to have your dream man and for him to then run away. I don’t know if I can survive it again.

“You’re right. It’s not a good idea. It’s an excellent idea.”

“This is a huge change. A week ago, you didn’t want to be a dad.”

He removes my lip from my teeth. “Wrong. A week ago, I thought I couldn’t be a dad. I’m still not sure I can be. I’ll probably suck at it. But I can’t let you go. I can’t let our baby grow up without a father.”

“You can be a dad without us being together.”

“I can, but I won’t be.” His thumbs soothe over the lines in my forehead. “I’ve been trying to resist you since the moment we met and you told me I needed a haircut and then proceeded to make me an appointment before I had a chance to reply.”

“You did need a haircut.”

He chuckles. “What do you say, feisty girl? You ready to take a chance on us?”

Don’t be a chicken, Aurora. He’s offering you the world. Dare to reach for it.

“Okay. Let’s give this a go.”

His blue eyes light with happiness. “You won’t regret this.”

“I’ll probably regret this on a daily basis, but I’ll regret it more if we don’t try.”

“There’s my girl.”

His lips meld to mine and I forget all about how this is a bad idea. How he’s probably going to break my heart.

All that exists now is Jett and his taste and his feel.

I pace the kitchen as I go over my plans for the day.
