“I know the brand! I’ve just never seen it on someone. I love it so much!”
“Thank you. I was ready for something new.” She looks off into the distance for a second and then says, “By the way, I’m Estrella. I’m an event photographer, mainly working with concerts and bands like these here this weekend.”
“Felyx, it’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m a stylist working with Obsidian Static. Which band are you working with? Or is it the whole festival that hires you?”
“Nope, just one band, From Stars to Evolution, which happens to be my estranged husband’s band.” She huffs out a laugh that has no humor behind it.
“Messy…I would love to hear more of that.” I hand Mildred over to her as she does the grabby hands, wanting to hold her.
She pulls out her phone with her free hand and gives it to me to enter my contact information. She then sends a text:
555-555-5555
Green-haired monster
“I fear that’s your contact name now…” I smile as I save her number. As I was doing that, I receive a text from Briggs asking me if it would be too much to come and fix Scottie’s hair, and that he would do it for her if he knew how. And at that, I let out an audible sigh because, could this man be any sweeter?
“Looks like somebody has you smiling at your phone like a damn fool.”
“I know I barely know you, and I don’t trust her with many people…but could you, by any chance, hold her for like ten minutes? I need to run and fix the drummer’s hair super quick. And the studded boot fucks scare my baby.”
“Of course, she can stay here with me. I won’t even put her down.”
“I’ll be right back, Milly Bear.” I give her a kiss on the head and start to jog up the stage stairs, looking for the in-need drummer.
I spot her, and the pure panic in her eyes when she sees me shouldn’t have me running up to her quicker…but it does. “I think I messed it up. Ugh, this is why I never do anythingdifferent with my hair. I’m too wild when I’m beating these drums.”
“And here I thought Briggs was our dramatic one.” I laugh as I step in behind her, she’s the perfect height for me to work on her hair as she sits at her drumming seat. “This is no big deal at all, sweetheart. A quick re-braid and you’ll be as good as new. I’ll be over on the side watching the whole show, so if you need me, I’ll be right here.” I point over to the side where I walked up the steps.
Within a minute, I have her fixed back up and smiling again. “Thank you, Felyx.” She smiles up and me with the shyest eyes, and I know I can’t keep looking down at her like this or my cock will be pressing into my jeans in no time.
But my head doesn’t listen. All I can picture are her pale, green eyes watering with tears as she gags on my cock.
Fuck…get me out of here.
“Welcome—anytime!” I shout over my shoulder as I practically run off the stage. “Have to go get Milly!”
As I find Estrella again and see my baby in her arms, I hear a random man ask her, “Who brings a wiener dog to a music festival?”
Me, bitch.
But this isn’t a random man. It’s one of the band members of From Stars to Evolution, and that has me rolling my eyes to the back of my head.

SCOTTIE
The stage lights.
The screams from the crowd.
All in the summer night air.
?*Nothing—and I mean nothing—tops this feeling. It’s like the best drug out there being injected into my veins with the high it gives me.
