EXCERPT - GIRL IN LOVE
2. “Hey, pretty girl,” Trace greeted her. His heart began
beating in overtime at the sight of her.
Her blue eyes gleamed in the
lights of the studio. He didn’t know if her face was flushed from singing her
heart out or from seeing him. Either way, she was beautiful as always.
“What are you doing here?”
“It’s nice to see you, too. I was
in the neighborhood.” Trace leaned against the side wall as Chaz and the other
men in the room let themselves out quietly.
He watched as Kylie chugged half
a bottle of water. “Oh yeah? Well, I’m all done for today, so if you need the
studio, knock yourself out.”
“Actually I need you. I mean I
need to talk to you.” Jesus. Sometimes he wondered if his life would be easier
if he’d just cut out his own tongue years ago.
Kylie raised an eyebrow. “Okay.
Talk.”
“Here? You don’t want to go get
some dinner or something?”
She snorted. “No, thanks. Steven
took me out for a late breakfast and I’m not hungry.”
S**t. That did not feel good to
hear. It felt as if she’d socked him as hard as she could right in the chest.
He lowered himself onto the couch and looked up at her. The lights surrounded
her, making her look like a vision he was having. His hands twitched, aching to
reach out and touch her. It was an urge more intense than the need to drink had
ever been. And she was even more off-limits.
“Thanks for performing at the
benefit. I appreciated that.”
Her eyes widened in surprise, but
she seemed to shake off her reaction before she spoke. “You’re welcome. Is that
what you came to the ‘neighborhood’ to tell me?”
“No. I came because…” Because I love you. I miss
you. I need you and I can’t stand having to be on the same planet as you if I
can’t have you. The
words stuck in his throat. What he actually said was, “Because the label has
some ideas for us. They’re pushing hard and I wanted you to hear it from me,
wanted you to know it wasn’t my idea.”
Her brows dipped downward and she
took another drink before responding. “What wasn’t your idea? The tour?”
“So you know then?”
She wiped a drop of water from
her perfect mouth and then glared at him. “Yeah, I know. I’m not the same girl
I was...before. I’m not all wide-eyed and excited about the opportunity to tour
with Trace
Corbin.”
The way she said his name, with
false enthusiasm, made his stomach churn.
“All right. Well, I didn’t figure
you’d be too thrilled. Gotta say, I’m not sure why the hostility is directed at
me though. I just told you it wasn’t my idea.”
Her glare intensified before she
finally looked away. “I knew this was coming when they asked me to do the
benefit. It was pretty obvious that you didn’t want me there.”
Trace opened his mouth to tell
her that wasn’t exactly how it was, but she rushed on before he could.
“Chaz and I kind of talked it out.
In a way, it makes sense. The media thinks there’s something going on between
us—or that there was—and you can’t turn the radio on without hearing that damn
song. We’d probably sell out every venue.”
“There’s a but coming.” He could
see it on her face, in her stance.
She nodded slowly. “Yeah. There
is.” Her eyes met his, only for a moment, but long enough for him to see that
she could hardly believe he’d had the nerve to ask. “Just because it might be the right move for
our careers doesn’t mean I want to take a tour down memory lane. I’d rather be
bound and gagged and dragged naked through town than share a bus with you.
Again.”
If it didn’t hurt so much to
hear, he might’ve laughed. He barely resisted the urge to tell her that if she
said yes, he’d be happy to get her naked and tie her up.
