The look on her face made me laugh, but the curiosity was killing me. Was it a contest then? Because I’d talked to some of the winners before, and the things they’d had to do…had to eat…I still couldn’t believe people would do that to meet a rock star. Laughing, I told her, “Ah, I can’t wait to hear this story.”

Kiera bit her lip as she stepped closer to me. I instantly stopped breathing. “Maybe it could wait just a little bit?” she said, staring at my mouth.

Fuck…yes. I instantly brought my lips to hers. It was like dousing myself in fire as our mouths connected. Heavenly, wonderful, erotic fire. It was difficult to control the sudden, rampaging need coursing through me, the almost-wild desire. It had been so long…she tasted so good, felt so good…made me feel so good. Why weren’t we alone? I needed to be alone with her. My hand on her cheek slid to her neck, my other hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her in closer. More. Her hands slid up my chest. One of them tangled in my hair, and I felt my control slipping. I wanted her. Now.

But before we could slip off into the darkness, my shoulder was tapped on. It was difficult to pull away from Kiera, but I made myself do it. Looking to my side, I saw Lana standing there, politely waiting for my attention. That was when I remembered that I was supposed to be doing something. Oops.

I suddenly felt extremely unprofessional as Lana’s amused eyes flicked to Kiera. She probably thought I was making out with a groupie instead of rounding up the guys. I just hadn’t expected Griffin’s girls to distract me so much, and then I’d never even contemplated running into Kiera. All thought of my news had fled my mind long ago.

“Kellan, I’m ready for you,” Lana told me.

Not wanting to admit that I hadn’t even talked to the guys yet, I gave her a polite nod. “Okay, I’ll need a minute, though.”

Lana’s eyes scanned Kiera up and down. Yep, she definitely thought Kiera was just another fan, a fan I wanted to go have sex with. Shaking her head in amusement, Lana returned her eyes to me. She didn’t look upset or disappointed in any way, so maybe this was just expected behavior from a rock star. I didn’t feel like explaining to Lana that I wasn’t like that, and she probably wouldn’t believe me anyway, so I didn’t say anything.

Lana put a hand on my shoulder, then leaned forward so I could hear her better. “The conference room upstairs…when you’re ready.”

Polite smile on my face, I nodded at her. Lana threw another amused look Kiera’s way, then turned and left.
