LolaIt was like I couldn't win. He wanted me, then he didn't want me. And even though I knew he wasn't actually rejecting me, it still felt that way.Even if what he was doing was actually the right thing to do, it still stung.“Damn.” Slamming my hands down on the edge of the cabinets, I winced as pain jolted up my arms.”Pull yourself together, Lola.” I had to do that before I made an absolute fool of myself. Dion wasn't the only one who was hot and cold. I was as well. I had been for months, so I couldn't really blame him.Dion appeared in the doorway. I’d waited for him to leave before returning for my coffee and in the fifteen minutes since he had walked out of the kitchen, I had done absolutely nothing but mope around while he had managed to shower and dress. His phone was pressed to his ear as he raised an eyebrow at me.Throwing him a rueful smile, I held up my hands. “Sorry,” I mouthed.Dion didn't move from his place in the doorway. He didn't blink. He just stared at me wi

DionThere was no sweet taste of peach lip gloss on her mouth like there had been the last time I had kissed her. Her lips were bare but so unbelievably soft that I could see myself kissing them forever.That was the effect she had on me. The moment I had seen her, I had wanted her, and the months apart hadn’t done anything to dampen down that want. It was more than she was a ray of light in the fucked up darkness of my world, more than the fact she was purely good.It was because she was her. I was drowning in her even when she wasn't around, and that was fine. I was ok with drowning. Death by Lola seemed like a really good way to go. A really, really good way to go.I’d die a happy man as long as I could keep kissing those perfectly plump lips. “God, Lola.” Pulling away slightly, I rested my forehead against hers as I tried to catch my breath. “God,” she parroted back. Her fingers pressed to her lips, and her eyes were hooded. Biting back a groan, I tightened my grip on her, pa

Lola“I can't believe you did that.” I tried and failed to keep the giggle out of my voice as Dion dropped me on the very edge of the bed. Though I’d meant for it to come out as an admonishment, the giggle kind of gave it away. I liked this side of Dion.The playful side, the side that wanted me so much he would purposely destroy El’s property even though he knew she would murder him.It didn't matter if what I was doing was stupid. Not when he was like this. Because this wasn’t rockstar Dion. This was the man I had caught a glimpse of in Vegas. Goofy, and hot and so into me it felt like a dream. I had thought it was an act back at the Summit Awards, that maybe I was new prey and he had an itch to scratch, but looking up at him I now knew that wasn't it. This wasn't a rockstar bedding a fan, it was…The thoughts died in my mind as he tugged his tight grey t–shirt over his head, giving me a clear and uninterrupted view of his smooth washboard abs. My mouth went dry. Dion had the body of

DionTate's eyebrows shot into his hairline as I appeared in the doorway to the living room. My t–shirt dropped to settle over my stomach, and I grinned at him before I could help myself.“What are you doing here?”He motioned to the jumble of bags around his feet. But his eyes never left my face. “Thought you might need some of your shit, asshole… What were you–?”I cut him off. “Did Erik send you?”His blonde eyebrows shot up. “No, why would Erik…oh.” His eyes snapped to the door behind me and I didn't need to turn to know that Lola had come out of her bedroom. The same room Tate had seen me appear from. His mouth opened in a little O. “Little Lola.” Rushing past me, he engulfed her in a bear hug that lifted her from her feet, and swung her around in a circle until she squealed and slapped at his shoulders. Setting her gingerly back onto her feet, he held her out at arm’s length. “You look good.” He whistled between his teeth before gathering her back up again. “I honestly can't b

Lola“I…” Pausing in the doorway, I surveyed the mess in front of me. Bits of paper were scattered all over the coffee table, half empty coffee cups sat on Elodie's cream carpet. Dion was scribbling something on a stack of papers as Tate strummed a guitar on his lap.Neither man looked up, so I had a few seconds to take them both in. And they were both gorgeous, but it was on Dion that my eyes lingered. There was something mesmerising about the lines that crinkled up the corners of his eyes as he chewed on the end of the pen in his hand. I was watching magic happen, and I had a front–row seat for it. They were working on a song, that much was clear, and they were so lost in it they didn't even know I was there.“I think if…” Tate trailed off, leaning over to tap his fingers enthusiastically on the arm of the chair. Dion watched him do it, his head nodding in time with the beat that Tate was drumming out. “Yeah, that would work.” He grinned, and it was like watching the sun come out

DionI knew Lola would be back. Like she said, she lived here after all, but it didn't stop me worrying about her, especially when the afternoon dragged by and the sun began to set. I wasn't old fashioned enough to think she couldn't handle herself in the streets, but I couldn't help but think of all the dangers the city held after dark.And it was making me irritable and unable to concentrate, something my band mates were quickly tiring of. I couldn't blame them for that. I'd asked where she was at least a dozen times in the last hour. “Come on, man.” Jax cuffed my shoulder hard as I again uttered the words I would soon be famous for. “Get your head back in the game. We need to get this down if we want the space in the recording studio next week.”Next week. I frowned. It wasn't enough time. Usually we spent months, if not years, putting together material for a new album, yet Erik wanted us in the studio next week? It was absurd in so many ways. And yet it kind of made perfect sense

Lola“Lola.” Elodie called out to me as I hesitated in the doorway to the kitchen. Behind me I could hear the band rehearsing, and even listening for a few seconds I could tell that the song had come on a lot since I had left earlier. I wanted to go back into the living room so I could listen to it properly. There was something hauntingly beautiful about it. Even without Dion's husky tones, it would be a beautiful song, but he took it to the next level. So full of heartache, heartache and hope. A round of applause erupted behind me, and I smiled before I could help myself. The others thought so as well. It wasn't just me.“Lo,” Elodie called again, and with a sigh, I turned my full attention back to my roommate. The boys didn't need me to disturb them, and even if I was quiet, I knew Dion would notice my presence straight away. Smiling softly to myself, I made my way into the kitchen and found a woman I had never seen before. My eyes narrowed. She was pretty in a totally alternative

DionI loved my band mates like brothers, but Christ, they were annoying. It was more than the fact that they just wouldn't leave despite every single one of them knowing I wanted alone time with Lola. And that it was causing me to have the worst case of blue balls in the history of the world. There was also the fact that they seemed hellbent on keeping her away from me. Every time I went to pull her down next to me, one of them called her, or caught her hand and dragged her towards them.Elodie and Jax seemed to be the worst. And one look at their faces told me they thought it was hysterical. I didn't. I wanted to remind Jax that it had been me who had pushed him into admitting his feelings for El to begin with. I liked to think that without me they wouldn't have become a couple and yet there he was, trying his hardest to cock block me at every turn. The only person who seemed to not want Lola's attention was the one person I thought would be actively trying to keep her away from m

Louis“Did you just call me a silly ass?”“Is that what you got from that?” Celia muttered. Her hands were still on my chest as she shook her head. Her cheeks flamed as she took a step back. My arms went around her instantly, pulling her back to me. “Yep.” I tightened my grip. “Not sure I heard the other part properly. Because I was pretty sure you said-”“I love you.”Something happened in my chest. It was something I had never felt before. Warmth spread through me and for a moment it was as if my heart seemed to stop beating. For a split second, I thought I might have just had some sort of heart attack, and then it gave one loud thudding beat.“You love me?” I wanted to check that I had heard her right. Celia didn’t say anything at first. But the pink that tinted her cheeks deepened to a blazing red. She turned her face away from me. I didn’t want her to do that. I never wanted her to look away from me. “That’s what I said.” Her face was growing redder and redder. It made me smi

CeliaAfter wiping my sweaty palms down my thighs, I raised my hand to knock. The door opened before my knuckles could make contact.“Hey, I saw you on the camera.” Erik's smile was as charming as I had ever seen it. He looked tanned and happy. “Come on in.” He opened the door wide. Stepping through, I glanced around. I’d been to his city pad so many times, fetching and carrying things for him, that it should have felt as familiar to me as my own home.Except it didn’t, not this time. This time it felt different. “Drink?” He carried on grinning at me. “I have white cooling. That's your favourite, isn't it?” He led the way through the spacious open-plan living room. And sure enough, a bottle of wine was cooling on the table by the window. He went over to it with hesitation, pouring me a glass before I could say a word.“Thanks.” My eyes swept across the view of the city below us and then fell on the table set for two. “But shouldn't you have waited until…?” I motioned to the table.

Louis“Dance with me, Louis.”Blearily, I lifted my eyes to meet Elodie’s. She was holding out her hand like she expected me to take it. I’d already danced with my sister out of duty, but I didn't want to dance with anyone else. Least of all Elodie who always had the uncanny ability to tell you exactly what you were thinking and feeling, even if you were avoiding it.Shaking my head, I went back to brooding. It was a new thing for me. Usually, I left the brooding to Jax or Dion. “Come on, Louis.” Reaching down, she wrapped her small hand around mine and pulled me to my feet. I swayed for a second. “It's a wedding, after all. Your sister's wedding. We should all be having fun.” She led me forward onto the dance floor. There were already some people dancing, but the space was relatively empty. It wouldn't be for long, though. Not with the way people were drinking. “I am having fun,” I grumbled.Laughing, she placed her hand on my shoulders. I let her lead. I didn't want to dance. Not

Celia“Are you even going to look at that?”With my fingers still buried in the fur of the cat on my lap, I lifted my eyes to Mia, who was curled up on the chair opposite me. “Celia?” she prompted when I didn't answer.“No. It’s probably Erik again.” I didn't need to check my phone to know it would be him. He had been blowing up my phone all day. Of course. Today was Lola and Dion's wedding. Things would have gone wrong, some emergency or something Erik had forgotten. Things that I wouldn't have overlooked. “You seriously mean to go through with this, don’t you? Quit your job?”I nodded.“Girl, you're crazy. The band is your life. Working with them is your dream and you're just going to throw it away?” Mia shook her head. Reaching across to grab my wine glass, I grimaced as the cat dug its claws in at the sudden movement. “Looks that way.”“What are you going to do for money?”“Absolutely no idea.” Shrugging, I poured myself another glass of wine. “Do you think maybe you should ha

Louis“You and Celia?”Whirling around, I came face to face with my sister. There was no hello. Not even a howdy. Just her shocked face as she stomped towards me. Running my hand through my hair, I looked down at my own bare feet. “Hello to you as well, little sister,” I mumbled.“Hi.” She hugged me quickly before holding me out at arm's length. “Now answer the question.”“What question?” I knew exactly what question, but I didn't want to answer it. Ever since I had woken up yesterday and Erik had told me she had gone, I had given up thinking about the band's blonde assistant. What good would it do?She was gone. It wasn’t like I could go after her. Not when my sister was about to get married. I needed to be here. With family. Not chasing after a girl who shared my bed but was in love with someone else. What we had: the fun, the sex, had been real. But that's all it had been: fun, sex. And that was all over now.“You and Celia?”I shrugged. She shrieked, drawing a quizzical look f

CeliaIt didn't feel fake anymore. It felt real.Real and new and exciting. And it had absolutely nothing to do with sex. Louis didn't act like this around women he’d had sex with. He was a ‘love them and leave them’ kind of guy, but he wasn't that way around me. Not that I thought for a second that he was in love with me, and I was pretty sure I wasn't falling in love with him. We were just having fun. Maybe this was exactly what I needed. Proof that other men out there found me attractive. Proof that I didn't need Erik. Except…part of me still wanted Erik. A small dwindling part, but it was there, buried deep. Which was all kinds of wrong, seeing as I was sharing my bed with someone else. And not just any someone else, either. Louis Michaelson was a panty-wetting god and somehow he had chosen me to spend time with.It was hard to wrap my head around.But it was true. The last few days had been a glorious mix of lingering looks and wild, passionate sex. The kind of holiday romanc

LouisGiving the sleeping form of Celia one last lingering look, I slipped out of the room and headed towards the beach. It wasn’t even dawn, but I needed to clear my head. What had happened between us last night had been incredible. Better than I had ever expected, but the intimacy… I ground my teeth together. The intimacy hadn't been what I was expecting. Not the sex itself, but what came afterwards. Holding Celia, talking to her until the small hours. That had all been new.New and scary as hell.And I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I liked her.For the first time in my man-whore life, I liked a woman, probably more than I should do. I sure as hell liked her more than she liked me, and I didn't even know when it had first happened. It had kind of just snuck up on me. Maybe because Celia had always been there. Hovering in the background. A familiar smiling face. A beautiful smiling face who was in love with someone else. I had known that when I had taken her to bed, so wh
Dionysus Rising ( A Rockstar Romance) books 1-3 False God 13
CeliaWhy was I doing this? This was a terrible idea.A truly awful one.But I knew the answer. The reason I was doing this, taking this step with someone I worked with, was taking his shirt off and kneeling between my legs.Louis was the reason I was crossing the line. Not because of the hard washboard abs covered in tattoos that met my gaze, but because of who he was. There was a connection there. One that I wanted to explore a little. God, I was confused.I liked Louis. I really did, and I couldn’t deny the sexual chemistry between us. But-“Eyes open and on me, Celia.”My eyes snapped open. I hadn’t even realised I had closed them. Staring at him, I felt my mouth fall open. He stood there naked and, even though it wasn’t the first time I had seen him without clothes on, it felt like I was truly seeing him for the first time. Letting my eyes wander down his body, my lips parted further. He was exquisite. And not just because of the art that adorned him, either. There was a beaut

Louis“Celia?” I knew I had heard her right because it wasn't like her words could be construed as anything else. Not many things sounded like ‘I want you to take me to bed’. But I wanted to make sure. “Did you seriously just ask me that?” In answer, she curled herself into my chest. “You heard what I said, Louis. I know you did. I can see it in your eyes. Do I really need to repeat myself?”I wrapped my arms around her, holding her even closer. “Yeah, you kind of do.”Tilting her head up, her eyes sparkled with the moon shining over her. It would have been a romantic moment if she hadn't been asking me to fuck her. “I want you to take me to bed.” She said each word slowly, like I was an idiot and that's exactly what I felt like.A damn idiot. Because I didn't know what was happening. What had changed in Celia's world so much that she was now into me for real?“Celia…” My lips pursed as I blew out a breath.“Or here. I've not done it on the beach before. ““Damn it, Celia.” Stepping
