Chapter 19
IAIN
We always did our soundcheck five hours in advance of showtime.
Well, showtime for our band meant the VIP meet and greet before the actual performance, which started at seven.
So that meant soundcheck was from twelve until two.
Then we chilled out for a few hours, Brodie rested his voice, we got our clothes and makeup done, then it was VIP I needed more.
More kisses, more Dawson.
He gently bit my lower lip and soothed it with a teasing flick of his tongue. I was punch-drunk, lust flooding my veins, the need for him so intense that my legs nearly went out from under me.
Until someone knocked on the door, interrupting the best goddamn kiss of my life.
“Dawson, you in there? Where’s Iain?”
Fucking Harlow.
“Shit,” Dawson panted as he reluctantly pulled back and cleared his throat. “Yeah, we’re in here. We’ll be back in Brodie’s room in five minutes, okay?”
Harlow didn’t reply, and I didn’t give a shit.
All I could do was stare at Dawson. I wasn’t the only one with red lips and flushed skin. Just when I thought he couldn’t get any sexier.
“Jesus Christ, I need to calm myself down,” Dawson growled and adjusted himself. “Your lips are lethal, sweetheart.”
A shiver ran through my body when he called me sweetheart. The way he said it, so low and full of desire. I liked it far too much to admit.
With my back against the door, I was sweating and panting for air, like I did at the end of a show.
Dawson ran a hand down over his cropped beard and licked his lips. “Don’t run away from me. We’re gonna finish what we started.”
“After the show,” I promised.
“God, four hours seems like forever.”
Oh, fuck yeah. If one frantic kiss rattled me like that, I could just imagine what was gonna happen when we finally got naked. We’d probably set that hotel room on fire.
And that line of thinking was not helping to deflate my hard-on in the least.
“Let’s go talk to the guys,” Dawson whispered.
I looked at his fucked out expression and imagined I looked the same.
“I need another minute.”
We were never going to hear the end of it.
