"Nah. You can do the same thing. Maybe we'll have phone sex." He perks up. "I know. I'll buy you a vibrator."
"Um…" I bite my lip.
His eyes narrow. "You have one already."
I shrug. "It's dusty now, but I used to use it."
"That's so hot. Phone sex with you using your toy would be sexy as fuck. What do you think?"
"You'll have to do the dirty talking. I'm not good at that," I admit.
"Bullshit. When you get into it, filthy things come out of that gorgeous mouth of yours," he informs me.
"They do?" This is news to me. I mean, I know I make noises because I can't help it, but I didn't know I talked all nasty.
"Oh yeah. So hot," he tells me, rolling on top of me and pinning me to the bed.
"Hmm."
"I want you again," Xan whispers against my lips.
I pull his head forward and kiss him long and hard, leaving no doubt that I want him too.

The finale. They're up against another band but my guys are so much better. I've been there for every show, as has Dr. Mac. They've been saving this song for this moment. This is the one Xander swore was the one, and after hearing them play it over and over, I have no doubt he's right.
While The Dipstix (what the hell kind of name is that anyway?) are a great band, Falling Down is a million times better. Jesse works the stage like a pro. I watch them and they look like they've been on stage all their lives. I am in awe of them. I'm so damn happy for them I could burst.
This is it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, one last time on stage, let's hear it for Falling Down!"
It goes dark and as Xan starts to drum all you see are his drumsticks glowing in the dark. I laugh. With each beat, a drum lights up. Different colors on each one. I don't know how they managed that, but holy shit.
His foot pedals light up!
I scream.
"That is so kick ass, Dr. Mac!"
"Hell yes, it is!"
The guitars light up when Ethan plucks his bass, Kennedy strums out a rhythm, and Ben rips out a wailing riff. Even their guitar picks glow in the dark.
Jesse. All we see is a microphone glowing red.
With the first word, the light show begins.
Can you feel it?
Can you see it?
Can you taste it?
It's right there within reach.
Stretch out farther
