Page 59 of Playing With My Heart Strings

Oh my God, it wasn’t a dream.My eyes widen as I realize what happened last night. Dusty was here. Again.

And he gave you some of the best orgasms of your life.

The memory of his tongue and his hands makes me press my thighs together, like there’s still a phantom touch between my legs.

I reach my hand down my body, desperate to relieve this feeling of lust and want. I shouldn’t feel this way. Nothing about this relationship is real.

Or is it?

Everything about Dusty Wilder’s bedroom skills was definitely real. And it’s pretending that Dusty is here again, fucking me with his fingers and mouth, that sends me over the edge for the fifth time in less than twelve hours.

Someone bangs on my door, both startling and prompting me to jump out of bed.

“Hold on!” I yell when they pound it again. I get dressed in record time and then look through the peephole to find Daniella on the other side. “What’s up?” I ask as I swing open the door.

“Good morning to you, too.” She lets herself in, walking right past me. “What did you do last night?”

I shut the door and slowly walk over to the bed. “W-what?”

Daniella raises an eyebrow. “I was just curious what you were doing, but that look on your face tells me something happened.” When I don’t respond, she puts her hands on her hips. “Bay, what the fuck? I’m your best friend and you’re not even going to tell me?”

I still don’t say anything, engaging in a stand-off with Dani. I pinch my brows, and her eyes widen in expectation. We could do this all day; we’re both stubborn enough.

“Wow, I see how it is,” she scoffs.

“Fine! I hooked up with Dusty,” I rattle out, my words spilling too fast to be coherent.

Daniella’s jaw practically drops to the floor. “Excuse me? You didwhat?”

I shrug. “I don’t know. The last couple weeks, he’s been sneaking up here to spend time with me. He even planned a secret rooftop date. And we’ve kissed…a few times. Off camera.”

“Baylor Sommerfeld, are you telling me you’re catching feelings for Dusty Wilder?” Her smile widens. “Oh. My. God. You are! You’re literally blushing right now!”

“I didn’t plan to, okay? It just…happened.”

“I can’t believe this. My best friend is going to be a famous country singer.” Dani pauses. “You need to be careful, Baylor. I mean, get it, but if Colette or any of the other producers catch you…”

“I know, I know. I’ve been telling him that, too, but I don’t think Dusty is very good at listening and following directions.”

“If it’s worth anything, I support whatever is going on and I won’t say a word.”

I laugh. “Thanks. What would I do without you?”

“You certainly wouldn’t have anyone to share your sex adventures with Dusty with. I mean, the guy already gives off big dick energy, I’m sure the actual thing is?—”

I groan and cut her off. “Stop. Last night was the first time we did anything like that, and we didn’t even go all the way.”

“You’re going to tell me when it happens, though, right? I bet you guys have amazing bed chem.” She sighs like a lovesick schoolgirl.

“You are absolutely ridiculous!”

“I’mhonest.”

I grimace. “Can you be honest about literally anything else? Something that’snotmy sex life?”

“Sure, but talking about you and Dusty is sofun.” She wiggles her eyebrows. When I shoot her another glare, she sighs. “Fine. How are the other girls, then?”

Now seems like as good a time as any to bring up Aspen. “Funny, you mention them. I need you to do me a favor.”
