Free Interlude (Rockstar #4) by Anne Mercier

I don't know."
    Ben turns to look at me. "You gonna make a move?"
    I shrug, when inside my nerves are jumping with excitement. "When the time's right."
    Ben shakes his head. "Fuck that. The time is never right . Just do it."
    "He's right," Kennedy tells me. "Besides, wasn't it you who said you've waited long enough?"
    Fuck. He's right. What am I waiting for?
    I nod. "Let's go find pretty Lucy."
    They all smirk and we head to the back rooms.
    As we approach we hear Sera say, "I'm on hiatus until further notice from modeling."
    Lucy responds with a surprised, "You didn't tell me that."
    We all just kind of stand outside listening, knowing we shouldn't be.
    "It's not what I want to do. Sure, it's glamorous and makes me feel sexy, but I want to eat a cream-filled donut. If I want to eat the entire pint of Ben & Jerry's Salted Caramel Core, then I'm going to eat the entire fucking thing."
    "Damn right you are! You can have a fat ass like me." And there's my opening because Lucy's ass is prime.
    "Cupcake, your ass is anything but fat," I announce, walking in the back.
    Lucy stares at Sera for a minute, eyes wide.
    "Jesse Kingston, what are you doing back here? We could have been naked," Sera says with a grin.
    "A man can hope."
    "How disappointing for you," Lucy says with a flirty smile.
    "Not so much. You're still here," I reply with a wink.
    I hear her quiet gasp and give her a minute. I sit in the chair next to hers while Ben heads to the sofa. Next come Kennedy, Ethan, and Xander.
    "Sera?" Lucy asks.
    "Yeah, Luce?"
    "Why? Why is it they come back here when we've just gotten our makeup scrubbed off and our hair thrown up in messy buns while we sport our yoga pants and t-shirts? We looked fucking amazing no more than ten minutes ago."
    Oh hell no. She looks fucking amazing right now.
    Sera lets out a loud sigh. "It's our curse."
    Lucy nods and presses her gorgeous lips together. "We have a lot of curses."
    "True story," Sera murmurs.
    We just stare at them. With or without makeup, they're stunners.
    "Stop staring! I know I look like shit, okay? Makeup-less Lucy isn't a great sight to behold."
    "Oh, I don't know," Xander says. "I think you look just as hot without makeup as you do with it. Maybe hotter since it's real."
    I let out a growl and Lucy's eyes widen. Xander grins and Ben winks at Lucy.
    "Did he just growl?" she asks.
    Ben winks again.
    "Well, thank you Xander for the compliment. That's very sweet of you to say." Hell, I want to growl again, throw her over my shoulder, and take her somewhere where I can make her mine.
    "Great shirt," Ethan tells Lucy with a wink.
    "Thanks. Deftones put on an amazing concert."
    "Avenged Sevenfold?" he asks.
    "Yeah baby." I frown. Her calling him baby doesn't work for me at all.
    "Nice."
    "M. Shadows is so damn sexy." I frown harder.
    "Oh my God," Sera moans. "There are no words. M. Shadows," she says with reverence and Lucy grins.
    "Mmm," Lucy groans, leaning back in her chair, wiggling her toes.
    "Is that a moan for M. Shadows or do you have sore feet?" I ask, still frowning.
    "Sore feet. Killer boots."
    I grab a towel and put it on my lap. Then I reach for one of Lucy's tiny little feet, putting it on my lap and massaging it gently.
    She closes her eyes and moans out loud. My hands still and my cock jumps to life at the sound. Oh what I'd give to hear her moan when she comes.
    She wiggles her toes. "Oh, don’t stop. That feels so good."
    I start rubbing again, chuckling while everyone in the room starts laughing.
    "Shut up. I know what it sounded like and I just don't care." She peeks through one eye at me and grins. She closes the eye again and just relaxes into her chair. I rub and knead the soles of her feet.
    "Your hands are amazing."
    Silent pause.
    "Again, I know what it sounded like. Get your minds out of the gutter. You all can see he's rubbing my feet . Pervs."
    "Yeah, pervs," I say with a laugh.
    "Don't think I don't know you're smiling over there, Kingston."
    "Oh, hell yeah
