“A little birdy said I should.” Her hair falls around us, encasing her face in a darkened halo that blacks out her eyes and only enhances that sexy as hell grin I’m definitely getting hard for.

“Should what?”

“Wipe away the decay,” Cedar recites, one of her palms pressing to my jaw. “And sing me your songs of praise.”

I fight the grin that wants to break free but lose when Cedar leans in to run the tip of her nose along mine. “I wrote that.”

“Uh-huh.” Cedar nods. “It’s about me, isn’t it?”

Schooling my features when she leans those blues just enough to catch my sight, I purse my lips. “Nope,” I say on a rising grin that refuses to be held back. “Not even a little bit.”

“Well,” she sighs, a level of severity washing over her features. “I want to wash away the decay, Fin.”

“Uh-huh.” I nod and hold her close. “Will you fucking let me help you?”

Cedar shrugs, a lift of her shoulders that drops right back down. “Nah.”

Scoffing when I catch the glint of mischievousness in her smiling eyes, I shake my head and take a step back. “So you weren’t thinking about me all day then. I get it.”

Snickering when I make another move to get us closer to the fence, Cedar leans down and smacks a lingering kiss right to my lips. “You totally get it, hotshot. I wasn’t thinking about you one bit.”

“You are so fucking mine when I’m done here, sweetness. I hope your ass is ready.”

Cedar wiggles against me, her grin glued to her lips as my boot taps the barricade we need to get on the other side of. “Just avoid my ribs.”

My brow furrows, but I don’t have time to process her words before the crowd is pushing at us and pulling me out of the bubble this woman creates.

“Calling Finland Montgomery back to the stage, please,”Rex mimics a nasally tone over the speakers, loud enough to grate my nerves and kill the boner I was sporting. “Finland, please return to your post, sir.”

Laughter fills the air and has me snorting as I slide my guitar around to settle between me and my girl and haul us back over the barricade only to come face to face with a giant screen showing me and Cedar all wrapped up.

“Damn, I hope you weren’t trying to keep us on the low.” Shaking my head, I grind my teeth together at the utter lack of privacy, pissed that the option has been taken from Cedar because I wasn’t thinking when I saw her in the crowd.

I just went to her.

“No,” Cedar sighs and cups my jaw with both of her hands. “I wasn’t.”

And just when I thought I was all out of surprises with this woman, she leans in and plants another kiss to my lips, hot enough that the crowd cheers and hoots for us.

“Fuck,” I breathe into her hair when she pulls back only to wrap her arms around my neck and press her cheek to mine. “I swear you knock my feet out every time, Cedar.”

Chapter Thirty-Five

Cedar

WhenItoldFinthat we could hold up together after the show—surprising the both of us—I never expected this.

Damn Aria and her seed planting.

‘Maybe it’s really love, Cedar,’ she said.

‘Maybe you could give it a try, Cedar,’ she said.

When I said yes to trying to figure out whatever the hell this is between us, I thought we’d go to a hotel, terrorize the staff for a few days and then maybe realize we weren’t compatible and move on with our lives, even with the pictures of us from the show plastered all over the internet.

He’s a fucking rockstar after all.

They’d forget about me eventually.
