*** From USA Today Bestselling author MJ Fields***
From bedroom performances to center stage, Memphis Black’s dreams have come true.
Together with his band mates—Finn, River, and Billy B—he takes some time for fun in the sun in Miami while gathering inspiration to finish their first full-length album. Some down time before hitting the road to tour the country, spreading their kind of rock like an STD.
Tallia Priest, a preacher’s daughter grew up next door to Madison Black, her polar opposite and very best friend. Tallia has harbored a crush on Madison’s older brother Memphis for a lifetime.
A boy like him would never notice a girl like her, yet he did … once.
After a tough freshman year of college, Madison invites Tallia to join her in Miami for a much needed break. Madison fails to mention they will be staying with ‘Steel Total Destruction.’
When Tallia arrives, there is no way for a stunned Memphis to miss the transformation of the once awkward, innocent girl next door.
Forbidden desires must be hidden, lines cannot be blurred, and no one can ever know.
Will the heat in Miami tempt them even further? Will buried secrets destroy lives? Can a broken heart ever be mended?
It’s all fun and games until someone gets rocked.
Before I know it, I
have her hand and am dragging her behind me while I snarl at Finn, who is just
about ready to bust out laughing. I stop when she tugs her hand away and looks
back. She’s looking to escape, and those two fuckers are looking like that
wolf, the one that wants to eat the little girl, and they aren’t going to eat
her.
Fuck that. I will kill
them first. Red Riding Hood. Yeah, that’s it. Little Red Riding Hood. “If you think
for one second I’m gonna leave you out for them to try and snack on, Tales, you
have lost your fucking mind.” I hold out my hand. “Let’s go.”
She hesitates for a
moment then grabs her purse and looks up at me. “Where are you taking me?”
“You’ll sleep in my
room, just until Mads gets here. Then I will lock you both up somewhere.” I say
it in a way I know makes her nervous, and hell, that’s kind of hot, too. I grab
her hand again and pull her behind me. She doesn’t fight me; she comes
willingly. I open the door and turn the light on, and all she can say is wow,
her eyes wide and full of wonder.
My blood is pooling in
a place it shouldn’t be right now, and I think of that green ogre chick, the
one who’s a princess.
Then all hell breaks
loose, and she is a nasty green ogre. Fuck, Tales, you need to show me your
inner, what’s her name? Fiona. Yeah, that’s her name. Shrek and Fiona.
“Nice, right? Hop in
bed,” I say, pulling back the covers. She looks at me all wide-eyed, and damn,
damn, damn.
“Where will you
sleep?” she asks.
“With you.”
Her mouth drops open,
and I feel a little off. Not a lot, just a little.
“Is there a problem,
Tales? Would you rather be out there where they—”
She shakes her head.
“Okay. It’s just—”
“I will be a perfect
gentleman.”
“You promise?” she
asks, looking back and forth between the bed and me. I point to the bed. “Like
a slumber party.”
“Those two girls?” she
asks and a slight frown traces her lips. “They came out of here.” There isn’t a
question in her voice, and I sure as hell can’t lie to her after she saw them.
“They left. Clean
sheets.” I point to the dirty sheets pooled on the floor. “It’s been dealt
with.”
She climbs in, and I
am right behind her.
Once we’re settled in,
I ask, “You comfortable?”
She pulls one of the
pillows from the top and puts it in the middle. “I’m fine, and just remember,
I’m not like them.”
“I know who you are,
Tales.”
“Right.” She rolls to
her side, facing away from me.
“What’s that supposed
to mean?” I ask as I settle in next to … the pillow.
“Nothing. Thank you
for a place to sleep, Memphis.”
“Of course. Sorry I
didn’t get Madison’s message. Phone wasn’t charged.”
“But you knew she was
coming?”
“Yep.” When I think about
the statement, I know she is judging me for being, well, me.
“It’s charging now.”
“She’ll text me when
she gets in,” she says, tightening the blanket around her. I let the quiet hang
in the air like a fucking black cloud for as long as I can stand it then
finally say, “Tales?”
“Hmm?”
“I’m really sorry
about your father.”
“Thank you for the
flowers.” That statement seems like a big fuck you to me.
“Sorry I couldn’t make
it.”
“He doesn’t know you
didn’t come, Memphis.” She yawns. “Goodnight.”
