No thanks.

Kason broke their stare and jogged to the other side of the stage before he made a fool of himself and did exactly what his agent and manager had been warning him against for nearly a year and a half now.

Stupid!He had to be more careful.

As he traveled past Kyra’s drum set, she shot him a quizzical look that he flat out ignored.He never changed positions during “Secret Love”.Never.

It broke the intention of the moment.Which was exactly why he was doing it now.

Fortunately, when he arrived at the opposite side of the stage, he caught the glint of platinum blond hair and a killer smile he hadn’t gotten to enjoy that day at Hot Rides.There was no mistaking Wren, though.She stood out, even in this crowd.He settled into the final two verses and delivered them as though she were the person he’d written this song about.

No one had to know it was actually about a man not so different from the one he’d started singing to.The first—and last—guy he’d ever had a crush on.

He hadn’t done anything about his attraction then and he wouldn’t do anything about the way that fan had moved him a moment ago either.

Hopefully Wren would come backstage later and remind him that he enjoyed a good old-fashioned romp plenty enough.

Kason sang his heart out to her, even if she didn’t understand what he was trying to tell her.
