more?”
    The crowd cheered; their enthusiasm
wasn’t lagging at all. Alex played a riff from the next song on the set list
and the crowd reacted wildly. Tyler grabbed his guitar from the stand and
stepped back allowing Alex to take lead vocals.
    Playing dual guitar was complicated; they
just couldn’t both play the same thing. Usually Alex let Tyler play the melody
line while he filled in and complemented his playing expertly. It was a skill
Tyler would never master like Alex had, an innate talent to improvise so
effortlessly.
    But he was freer to roam the stage as
Alex took lead vocals. When Alex had the spotlight, Tyler liked to move closer
to the fans. He wandered to the right side of the stage and began searching the
crowd. Wondering where Katie was.
    He had his shades on, but with the bright
lights sweeping intermittently across the crowd, he could see the faces of the
fans in the first couple of rows. He had no idea where Katie was, but he felt
sure she was watching. He really wanted to see her expression. Would she be staring
at him raptly with the same star struck expression like almost all of the girls
in sight were at the moment? He wanted that validation from her. If only
he could find her.
    He spotted her. She was standing aside
from the crowd behind some metal barriers on the right side of the stage. She
was watching. Not screaming and jumping up and down like the other fans. She
was watching. Quietly. Intently. Not singing or swaying to the music. Just
staring up at the stage. Watching him . Not the whole band. Just him. With a look in her eye- a look that made his jeans feel too damn tight. A
sultry gaze that sparked off a riot of fluttering deep in his gut. He couldn’t
remember the last time he wanted a particular girl so damn badly.
    The next time he circled to Katie’s side
of the stage, she was gone. He tried to ignore the disappointment that he felt,
but it clung to him. The intoxicating exuberance he felt moments ago was suddenly
gone.
    Tyler continued playing guitar as if on
autopilot while Alex sang in the center of the stage- taking his spot. Alex was
getting a good reception from the crowd; he always did, but that had never
bothered Tyler before.
    It seemed like ages until the song
finally ended. Normally, Tyler addressed the crowd during this transition in
their set while Alex changed guitars and settled back into his spot, but this
time Tyler didn’t feel like it. The band covered his silence with improvised
riffs. He needed to get his shit together.
    And he did. It shouldn’t matter to him
what one person thought of him, not when he was surrounded by thousands of
adoring fans. He focused on the audience in front of him and fed off their
mood. This was the one place in the whole world that he wanted to be. That he needed to be.
    They were nearing the end of their set
when he happened to see Katie again. A renewed rush of energy tingled in his
blood. She had moved backstage and had been watching them play from the side of
the stage along with Scott. She was still watching him . He couldn’t help
but smile, even as he was singing. He felt her presence for the remainder of
the set, even if he didn’t glance over again. Her gaze lingered on him, searing
his skin with its heat. All he could think about was having her. And now he was
sure that she was definitely interested despite her words to the contrary. By
the time the set was over and he was thanking the audience, his cock was
throbbing with insane desire.

    Things were different now. Very
different . And I was smart enough to realize it. My first Cold Fusion
concert had changed me. I could no longer pretend to be unmoved by Cold
Fusion’s rock star status. Seeing them perform live had sucked me into their
world. The performance had mesmerized me until I could see nothing but stars.
    It was clear already; I was in love with
Tyler. Not just in the funny way that I eventually obsessed over all my
projects, but in
