Untamed

When we got to Dad’s house, I immediately understood what he meant by “busy.” Mom was babysitting the twins for Chelsey, and about a billion of my relatives were visiting; both Mom and Dad came from super-huge families. Somebody was always stopping by. The house was chaos incarnate. Liam was there too, practicing lines for an audition.

Liam blinked in surprise when he saw me. “Wow, you actually did do it. You quit the band. Are you an idiot or just plain stupid?”

I was about to comment, but A

She said that last part like she was convincing herself as well as my brother, but I was too impressed that she’d actually defended my decision to really care.

I pulled my gaze away from A

When we got to my old bedroom, which was still awesomely decorated in KISS and Poison posters, I turned to A

“For what?” she murmured, laying O

“For having my back with Liam. For saying I wasn’t an idiot for doing this.”

Grabbing her hand, I yanked her to her feet. She squeaked as she let go of the elastic on O

Wrapping my arms around A

Relaxing, she linked her arms around my neck. “To the set?”

I nodded. “Yeah. Come with me and check it out. Then maybe you’ll get excited about this.”

She chewed on her lip, and my cock twitched. Damn that was sexy. “Maybe…All right, I’ll go with you. Could be fun.” She smiled while she held her lip in her teeth, and I saw the familiar playful gleam in her eye spark to life. There’s my girl.

I was just about to ask Gibson to take her sister into the next room when Mom appeared in my doorway. “Oh good, you’re here. You can help me make di

“Thanks, Mom, be there in a minute.” Maybe after a quickie with my wife.

Mom started walking away, then she stopped, walked over to me, and smacked me across the head. “That’s for not visiting while you were in town. Nice hair.”

She left the room and A

Holding her shoulders, I looked her square in the eye. “I’m sorry, okay? And I won’t do it again.” We were already here, there was no reason to lie again now. This was going to be smooth sailing from here on out.

Resentful fire brightened her eyes. “You better not lie to me again.”

A

I was giddy to finally be able to tell her about it. Holding it inside had been killing me, but once the secret was out of the bag, and I could talk about it, she hadn’t wanted to listen. Every time I’d tried to tell her about the show the last few days, she’d quietly left the room. “Well, for starters…I’m a rock star.” Her eyes widened and I gri

The next morning, A

Harold laughed at her comment and released her hand. When his gaze got a little too lengthy, I stepped in front of A

“Should we get going?” I asked.

Harold returned his eyes to mine. “Yes! Hop in, and I’ll take you to your new home away from home.” As A

I gave him a heated glance. “Well of course I should. I’m the star. Remember?” I considered asking him if what De

Harold kept his eyes glued to the street as he answered me. “Yes, yes. The most important star.”

Walking around the set helped bring A

Harold seemed uncomfortable with the similarities. “No, no, it’s a generic bar…I assure you.”

He quickly moved us along to the living quarters sets after that. A
