Rae giggles, and I’m pretty sure she’s blushing. I don’t like that he’s making her react like that.
“Well, this is a little different for me. I’m kind of toying with changing up my sound,” she admits.
“Hell yeah, I’d be honored to be a part of that with you. Do you have a demo of what you’ve been working on?”
“Yeah, I can send it to you. But it’s really rough and if you hate it, please let me down gently.”
The guy chuckles, shaking his head. “Something tells me I won’t hate it.”
“Feel free to add on or adjust anything you want,” she rushes out.
“I’ll check in after I’ve listened and when I’ve no doubt fallen in love with it.”
I clench my fist at his flirtatious tone, and I swear he’s staringat the screen picturing her naked or something and I’m about to slam the computer closed.
“Perfect, we’ll talk soon then?” Rae asks.
“Can’t wait.”
They hang up, and I step into the room, clearly not doing a great job at hiding my irritation because Rae looks up at me and her smile fades.
“What’s wrong?” she asks.
“Who’s that?”
“Uh, his name is Noah and we might do a duet together.”
“He seemedreallyinterested in you, that’s for sure.”
An amused smile touches her lips. “Are you seriously jealous?”
I narrow my eyes at her. That’s not what this feeling is,is it?
“You don’t get jealous when I’m with Grayson, but if I talk to Noah you turn into a caveman?” She sits back against the chair, folding her arms.
“It’s different,” I grumble.
“How?”
“What if he’s weirdly obsessed with you. What if he’s the one that sent you the box?” I raise my eyebrow and she stiffens, her reaction causing me to go on alert because I don’t know if there’s been more incidents since then.
She looks down, and I feel like I may have pushed too much. I don’t want her to shut down, but I want her to know that she’s mine. Ours. And I think Grayson would agree with me that we don’t want to share her with anyone else. Even if it doesn’t make sense, nothing seems to when it comes to her. All I know is that I want her.
“Call Grayson,” I instruct as a distraction.
“What?” She looks up at me wide eyed.
I nod toward the computer. “Call him.”
CHAPTER 34
Rae
Iopen my mouth, then close it. My mind is trying to catch up with what’s happening. I went from such a high of meeting with Noah to Asher looking like he’s a wild animal barely restrained from going completely feral. I’ve been doing everything I can to not think about the weird things that have been going on and then he had to remind me of it. He doesn’t know that I’ve seen things because I worry if I mention it he may think I’m hallucinating.
“Call him,” Asher repeats, and I reach for my computer tentatively, not sure if Grayson will even answer. He has his game later so he may be at practice or getting ready to leave. Maybe he’s even already at the arena; I don’t even know what time it is where he is because my mind is such a mess.
I fumble while pulling up Grayson’s contact on my laptop and FaceTiming him. As soon as it starts ringing, Asher’s hand is in my hair, tilting my head to the side as his mouth descends on mine. I gasp, and he uses that to his advantage, pushing his tongue between my lips and invading my mouth.
