“The only thing I’m going to do is get you all cleaned up so you’re ready for your big night.” I carried her into the bathroom and turned on the shower. The small tub was barely big enough for one of us, but I was determined to soap up every inch of her soft skin. I’d been so desperate to get inside her that I hadn’t taken my time exploring every curve.
“What am I going to do with you?” She slid down my body, her arms going around my neck.
My cock was already half hard again from the friction of feeling her breasts and belly pressed against me.
“I’ve got a few ideas, sweetheart.”
She giggled as I tugged her into the shower. Before she left to go to that concert, she was going to know what it felt like to be worshipped by a real man.

DAISY
Hendrix seemed to take it as a personal challenge to make sure I wouldn’t be able to walk to the concert. By the time he left for the venue, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to walk the few steps to the bathroom much less make it to the arena.
When I stumbled into the lobby wearing ballet flats instead of the heeled boots I’d planned on wearing, the man behind the check-in desk told me Hendrix had arranged for a driver to take me to the concert. I thanked him, then slipped inside the back of a stretch limo and pulled out my phone.
Me: Thank you for the ride, though it’s totally unnecessary.
Hendrix: I would have come back to get you myself, but it’s been nuts around here.
Me: Everything okay?
Hendrix: Jax’s guitar strap broke. Nobody can find the extras.
Me: Oh no! He can play without it, right?
Three dots flickered on my screen, then stopped. My pulse jumped. Knowing Shelby, she had a whole case of them packed away on a tour bus somewhere and would know exactly where to find them.
The limo pulled to a stop in the loading dock area. Hendrix stood at the top of the steps. As soon as the driver got out of the limo to open my door, Hendrix headed toward me. It had only been a couple of hours since I’d seen him, but my fingers ached to wrap around his. The hold he had on me was intense.
“Hey, baby doll. You’re stunning.” He greeted me with a searing kiss… the kind that made me wish we were heading back to the hotel room instead of about to head into an arena packed full of screaming fans.
I followed him into the backstage area. He tugged me down a long, dimly lit hall and into a room full of bright lights and people. I blinked against the overhead lights. Then I blinked again. My gaze darted from one member of Soul Obsession to the next. They were all there: Jax, Asher, Mason, Crue, and Jameson.
“You might want to close your mouth, sweetheart. Your jaw’s practically sitting on the ground,” Hendrix whispered.
Too stunned to speak, I slammed my mouth shut and nodded.
Shelby rushed into the room, one hand resting on her baby bump, and let out a defeated breath. “I can’t find the extra straps. You’re going to have to play without one, Jax.”
Jax’s jaw tightened. I could only imagine the stress he was under.
“Wait. I have an idea.” I pulled open the big bag where I’d hidden Growler. There was no way I could leave him at the hotel. I rummaged around for a dog leash or two—I always broughtextras with me when we went anywhere. “Does anyone have a needle and thread? I think I can sew a couple of these together and they might work for a guitar strap.”
“Yes!” Shelby raced out of the room and came back a few seconds later with a sewing kit in her hand. “You’re a lifesaver, Daisy.”
“I just need a few minutes.” I handed my bag over to Hendrix and sat down at a large round table with the sewing kit and a few of my handmade leashes. When I was finished, I held up the strap I’d pieced together. Rows of rhinestones sparkled in the light.
“He’s going to blind the crowd with that thing around his neck,” Mason said.
“You’re just jealous she didn’t bedazzle your drumsticks.” Hendrix smirked as he handed the strap to Jax.
“We’re out of time. Unless you want to wear the security guard’s belt instead, I think you ought to try it.” Shelby shrugged.
Jax clipped the strap onto his guitar and offered me a wide smile. “What did you say your name was?”
“Her name is Daisy!” Dani gave me a huge hug. “Thanks, girl. You literally saved the day.”
