I move a little closer. "I don't blame you for looking. I'd do the same."
She nods. Presses her lips together.
Her eyes dart around the room but her body stays turned toward mine.
Then her eyes are back on mine. She stares at me like she's staring into my soul. "You... You're, um... you're in the band? The one throwing the party?"
Fuck.
So much for that.
"Yeah. Sinful Serenade. I'm the vocalist." I scrutinize her expression. There's no sign she's full of shit. She's nervous, sure, but she doesn't recognize me.
Damn, the way she's looking at me...
It's innocent and depraved at once.
She clears her throat and takes a step backwards. "I'm looking for my friend." Her eyes meet mine. "Kara."
Fuck, Meg is Drew's friend's friend.
Which means she's one of the only two women here I shouldn't flirt with.
"She's tight with some guy in your band," Meg says. "They go way back."
I nod. "Yeah. Drew had a lot to say about her during our last tour."
Meg presses her lips together. "I should really find her. And go home." She takes a step toward the party. "I have to study. You know how it is. Or maybe not, being a rock star and all. But I have a test tomorrow." She nods an awkward goodbye and takes another step away.
"Meg."
"Yeah?" She spins on her heels. Her eyes meet mine. Her eyes screamI'm thinking about you naked.
I motion to the couch where Drew and Kara are cuddling. "Your friend isn't in a state to drive."
And Drew isn't in a state to do shit about that.
How is it I'm the responsible one in this situation?
I follow Meg to the couch.
Kara nearly jumps off the cushion to throw her arms around Meg.
Drew stares at Kara, his dark eyes wide and full ofI want her out of that dresswonder.
"Are you having fun?" Kara hugs Meg. "Please, tell me you aren't completely miserable."
Meg relaxes into her friends arms. Thoughrelaxis relative. She's still tense and awkward. "Only partially."
Kara laughs. "That's a start."
Drew shoots me a look that saysDon't get any fucking ideas about her.
But that's a lost cause.
I already have lots of ideas about this girl.
She's too cute and innocent to resist.
