We ended up in front of a closed door with the wordsartist lounge.
"Are we allowed in there?" Ivy asked.
"No," Natalie said as she pushed the door open anyway. Her face lit up as she ran inside, throwing herself at a large, muscled man with short brown hair, clinging to him with both arms.
"Morris! You were amazing! I can't believe how hot you are on stage, all the other girls in the audience were probably picturing you naked and it's not fair because you're all mine and they can't have you."
Nat babbled at her boyfriend as he gave her an indulgent look. Natalie had been worried at first that her exuberant nature would annoy someone as solemn and stoic as Morris Edwards. He found her adorable and charming instead.
A tall man with long black hair tied back in a low ponytail approached Ivy from the side and kissed her cheek.
"Hey beautiful," Ivy's boyfriend Ren murmured in her ear. "Did you enjoy the show?"
"It was loud."
Ren gave her a soft smile. "I'll buy you earplugs next time."
"It's okay. I don't want to miss a second of your performance. You were great on the violin tonight."
"It's all that duet practice with you."
"It has nothing to do with me. You've always been amazing."
"You're the one who's amazing."
They gazed into each other's eyes as Ren pressed a kiss to each of her fingertips. I left the two of them alone to be sickeningly sweet together before I threw up rainbows and kittens.
An arm caught me by the waist and swung me around, nearly sweeping me off my feet. I smiled to myself, happy that Noah was being so openly affectionate.
"You looking for a good time, gorgeous?"
Cameron swung me into his view until we were face to face. His bright red hair fell over his eyes, which were heavily rimmed with black eyeliner. He gave me a sultry look, full lips titled upward as if he knew a secret and I didn't.
I pushed at his bare, sweaty chest. He had taken his shirt off on stage again. Those abs of his were even more impressive this close up. No wonder all the girls swooned.
"If I was looking for a good time, it wouldn't be with you."
"Ouch," He faked a wince and squeezed me tighter. "Shot down again. If you keep on rejecting me, I might start feeling unloved."
"I'm sure you can find dozens of girls willing to give you theirlove."
"But we always want the ones we can't have, don't we?"
"What are you doing?"
Noah's flat voice rang out from behind me. I turned in Cameron's arms to find him glaring at us. Noah was dressed in his rock star best, all black, mesh top, leather pants, and the barest hint of kohl around his eyes, much more restrained than Cameron's heavy gothic look.
My insides fluttered, heat pooling between my legs at the sight. Noah was already an attractive man, but the primal sensuality of Noah in leather pants and eyeliner was going to be my undoing.
"Just getting in some snuggle time with my favorite girl." Cameron threw Noah a smug grin and he cuddled me close to his chest.
Noah's expression twisted as he marched over.
"Hands off," he growled.
Cameron's smug grin grew wider, until it nearly took over his entire face. "Do you object to me putting my hands on this gorgeous young lady?"
Noah clenched his fists at his side, his lips pressed firmly together.
