For a minute, he rested his forehead against mine and held me, one body now instead of two. We moved together, slowly at first, savoring the feel of each other, but then picked up speed. I lifted my hips to meet his thrusts, digging my nails into his back. He ran his talented fingers down to that spot that drove me wild, playing my body like he played his guitar, and I swore I heard music.

I rolled us over so I was on top, and he grinned up at me. I grabbed his wrists to pull them above his head and ran my tongue along the lines of music tattooed around his arms. God, I loved his arms, whether they were holding a guitar or wrapped around me, and seeing them above his head like this, seeing him give himself over to me completely, made me even more excited.

I rolled my hips, sliding him in and out of me, the crescendo building as skin glided against skin. Our fingers entwined as we moved faster, the friction of our bodies lifting us higher, like an orchestra harmonizing and swelling just before the climax. He buried his face in my neck, his fingers tightening around mine.

“Maddie,” he moaned, and I knew he was close, too, and that sent me over the edge. I gasped his name against his skin, rocking against him, tightening around him, dragging us both into bliss.

I released him, and he wrapped me in his arms and held me close. We lay together, breathing heavily and slicked with sweat, but complete. Whole.

“Not okay?” he asked with his real smile I’d come to know so well.

“Not okay,” I agreed, tracing a finger along his lips. “I’m much better than okay.”

Even though the show was over, this was only the beginning for us. I didn't know what would happen with the band, but I knew we’d get through it. Because what we had together was more than music. It was love.
