“There she is!” Bobbie Jo greeted me as I walked through the door of SDC Studios, ready to sign my contracts. She walked around the corner of her desk and pulled me in for a hug. “Did you get your cell phone?”

I shook my head. “No. I haven’t had time yet. I left here late, and then slept in this morning…”

She gave me an odd look. “You tell that boyfriend of yours to leave you alone, and then you go get you a cell phone.”

I laughed. “Actually, that’s the first thing on my agenda after I leave here today.”

She smiled as she patted me on the shoulder. “Good girl!” She crossed back to her desk. “See that you do.” Then, she hit a button on an intercom.

“Yes?”

“Mr. Mallory, Alyssa Case is here.”

“Good! She’s here!” Frank’s voice echoed from the other side. “I’ll be right out.&rdqu

    He let out a deep breath. “Good. Now this is a contract for the next three years. You’ll get a three-million-dollar advance of which I will receive six percent.” Then, he looked into my eyes. “Hang on to this money, Alyssa, because the studio will recuperate this advance out of your royalties off the top before any more royalties will be paid.”I cleared my throat, keeping my cool. “How much is the royalty, and do you take your cut before or after taxes?”He nodded. “Your studio artist royalty is eighteen percent, higher than usual. But, again, I heard the tapes and I feel …” Then he looked around the room. “We all feel that you will be an instant success, so you deserved it. Also, you will receive royalties from your tours. You will receive more when you are a headliner, but less as a front band. You will receive these royalties in monthly installments.”I looked into his eyes. “Who

    Bobbie Jo scowled at him as he walked by, and her lips turned into a straight line when she saw me. I wondered what that was about, but brushed it off.“So, where to?” Craig asked as we headed out the door. I left my guitar case at the studio, knowing it was safe there.“As I said, let’s go to Powder Keg Tavern. I’d really want to thank Judy.”Craig nodded. “Do you mind if we go in my car?”I shook my head. “No. Not at all.”As I followed him out to the parking lot, he started walking toward a brand new Mercedes. He clicked the door unlock and then popped open the trunk.“This is your car?” I asked, shoving my hands into the pockets of my jeans.Craig chuckled. “Yes; it is. Don’t worry. You’ll have one of these soon, too, if you want.”I shook my head as I raised my eyebrows. “I’m not so sure about that.”Cra

    “Man. It’s good to see you again, little lady!” Judy said, giving me a hug without waiting for me to stand. “And who’s your friend?” I smiled as I looked over at Craig, and he smiled encouragingly. “Believe it or not, this is my agent and manager, Craig Savage.” “Get out of town!” Judy said, so loud that I was sure the whole restaurant heard her. I laughed. “Yup. As of today.” She took both of my hands. “So, things worked out with Tasha?” I nodded. “Yes, thanks to you,” I said, so excited that I could hardly stand it. “I go on tour with her as her front band in three months.” She flung her arms around me and pulled me in for another hug as I stood up. Then, she held me at arms’ length to look into my eyes. “Well, congratulations, girl! I’m so happy for you!” She turned to Craig and shook his hand. “It’s nice to meet you!” Then, she looked back at me. “See? What did I tell you? Miracles still do happen … but you have to have talen

    The ride back to the studio was too long and too quiet. My mind kept drifting to my mother and my family back home in Florida. Somehow, my life had changed drastically in a short period of time and it felt as if my mind was spinning.“Penny for your thoughts?” Craig asked as he turned the car down another road.I just shook my head, watching the scenery pass. It was great being in Nashville and I knew that I should be happier, but this was the first time that I’d ever been away from home. I had looked forward to being on my own my whole life, and now that it was here, my mind was back home in Florida.“Homesick?” Craig just wouldn’t give up.“A little bit,” I admitted as I cleared my throat to push down the lump there.I felt his hand pat my shoulder, but I pulled away and didn’t look to see if I had offended him. “I know how it is, but after a while, you’ll get used to it here.&rdqu

    “Night, Frank,” I said. “I’ll see you when I see you?”He laughed. “Yes; you will.”I smiled. “Thanks, again.”“You just sing your ass off on stage and we’ll call it even,” Frank said, standing up to see me off.I laughed. “That’s a deal.”“You ready?” Craig asked, already at the door.“Sure,” I said as I grabbed my guitar case and followed Craig out.As we walked into the foyer, Bobbie Jo had already left. Craig held the front door open for me as we walked out.Craig followed me out to the parking lot, carrying his briefcase in one hand and holding his suit coat over his shoulder with the other. “So, how does it feel to be a recording star?”I laughed. “I haven’t had enough time to see how I feel yet. But, yes. It feels great.” I carried my guitar with one hand and then he

    I nodded, smiling as I unlocked the hood. But Logan picked it up for me before I could even reach for it. I laughed. “I can get it.”He shook his head. “I don’t think so,” he said, adjusting it to his other hand so he could place his hand on the small of my back.It felt so different than when Craig had done the same thing. With Craig, it had felt too intimate. But with Logan, it was natural.He opened the door and I walked in.“Yeah! I thought you were leaving?” Lathe said as a broad smile spread across his face.I smiled. “Why? You want me to go?”He laughed. “No way! You just got here!” Then, his eyes traveled over to my guitar that Logan had just set down beside the couch. “Good! Grab your guitar and join us!”All of the guys laughed, saying the same thing, cheering me on to play with them, but I shook my head. “That’s okay. I’ll listen

    The next morning, I woke to Logan kissing me lightly on my neck. I rolled over, smiling as I found his lips without opening my eyes. “Good morning.”“Morning, Allie,” he whispered against my neck as he covered his body with mine, careful not to crush me. Then, his lips descended upon mine as passion filled my body. I opened my lips, giving him entrance, as I spread my legs and his rock hard cock came to rest against my heat. I rocked my hips involuntarily against him as my breath quickened. “Allie, no.”I ignored his plea as I rocked against his hard cock again. The only thing between us was the thin fabric of our underwear. “I’m off today. We can play, if you like. But this afternoon, I need to go shopping.” I opened my eyes, and it was still dark out. He must have awoken in the middle of the night.“As tempting as that sounds, we have to meet with Frank today,” he said, kissing down my neck as h

    “Are you nervous?” he asked, but froze when he reached for a condom. “We don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.”“Shush,” I said as I slid back onto his lap and kissed him with more passion than I had ever felt before, and wrapped my arms around his head and through his hair as I rocked my clit along his cock. Sensations like no other suddenly filled my body. “I’ll never hurt you,” I cooed into his mouth between kisses. “Never.”Passion filled us both as he ran his fingers through my hair and down to my breasts, and then held them together and ran his tongue over them. Then, he sucked each into his mouth, s his tongue flicked over each, almost making me come. He reached over and picked up one of the small packages laying on the nightstand and slid it open with his teeth. Then, I raised up and shook in anticipation as he rolled it down over his hard cock.“Come here,” h

    All of a sudden, Craig stood in front of us, blocking the way. Frank saw Craig approach and crossed the room. “May I speak with you both for a minute?” My heart suddenly sank, wondering what he had done to Alyssa. But I held my cool. If I hadn’t learned anything else over the years, it was to curb my jealousy. I looked down at Alyssa, and she nodded. Anyone else would have walked away and let them speak alone. But from what I remembered of Craig, there was no way in Hell that I was going to let that happen. “What is it, Craig?” Alyssa asked, stiffening. He stole a quick glance at me, and then focused on Alyssa. “Look: I’m sorry for what happened the other day … for the kiss …” I stiffened as I clenched my fists at my sides, trying to hold my cool until he finished. “… but I wanted you to know that it’ll never happen again. I’d like to continue our professional relationship, and I promise that nothing like that will ever happen again.” “It better not,”

    The crowd erupted in thunderous applause once again as the mayor stepped up to the microphone.“So, eat, drink, and be merry,” Mayor Townsend said from the stage behind me as I rushed down the side stairs, fighting through the crowd, trying to get to Alyssa as quickly as I could. “But make sure to dig deep in your pockets to help Logan Ambrose and the children!”As I looked through the crowd, Frank, Alyssa, and Roxanne were standing, talking to my parents as a concerned look spread across Frank’s face. Even Craig looked concerned. I seemed to move in slow motion as I hurried to her. But the faster I moved, the slower I felt I was moving. What seemed like an eternity later, I stepped up beside Alyssa and wrapped a protective arm around her. “Mom, Dad! What are you doing here?” I asked directly, not caring how it sounded.“Why, son!” my mother began in a sickening sweet tone. “I’m here to celebrate

    LoganI offered my arm to Alyssa and escorted her into the Grand Ballroom of The Plaza as Alanna walked ahead. A bellman took our coats as we walked in, revealing Alyssa’s lovely dress that fell over her body like water—very elegant and sexy. If this event hadn’t been in my honor, I would have taken her back to my condo and not let her out of the bedroom for a week.Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling and beige pillars stood along the sides of the room, as the ceiling glowed in peach lighting. An ornately decorated Christmas tree sat at the far end of the room to the right by the stage, and tables set along the edge, leaving the center of the floor open. Christmas lights hung around the room, elegantly decorated but not overly done.When Alanna slipped out of her coat, she had the attention of every man in the room with her barely-there dress. I escorted them both to the head table where Frank and Craig were sitting

    Then, he pushed into me as his lips descended upon mine. He moved me to my side and lay behind me, raising my leg up over his hip, and then pushed into me again as his hand reached around and rubbed my nipples.“God. This feels good!” I said as I pushed against him, letting every inch of his wonderful dick fill me. “Don’t stop!”He pushed into me as he rubbed my nipples and then moved his hand down to my clit as he rubbed and fucked. My walls clenched around his cock as every nerve in my body screamed for release, sending me over the edge as my climax shook my body.A moment later, his cock swelled. “Fuck, Alyssa! You feel good!” he screamed as he came inside of me, pushing into me, over and over, arousing me again.This time, I pushed him back against the pillows and then straddled him backward and pushed his full cock inside of me. Then, I rode him, over and again, lifting up off him and then pushing down hard a

    Logan shoved into my pussy from behind as he fondled my clit, and I pushed against him, matching his rhythm. Soon, he grabbed my hips and pulled me to him pushing into me deeper and harder than before. Then his dick swelled, sending me over the edge as I screamed out in pleasure, shuddering in climax.“Oh, God, Alyssa,” he said as he came, pushing into me over and again. “You feel so good!”“Don’t stop!” I screamed as every nerve ending in my body ignited, bubbling up inside of me until it spilled over. “I’m coming again!”Then, his cock swelled again as he kept his rhythm, pushing into me even harder. He moaned as he pushed into me and stopped for a minute as he came again. Then, he pulled back and pushed into me again, until his pulls finally slowed. He kissed my back as I leaned across the table, and then rubbed my inner thighs as he kissed my ass cheeks. “You want to continue this, or are you

    Soon, I walked into the front door of my apartment. It had been twenty-four hours since I’d been there, and it seemed desolate somehow. Empty. I quickly pushed the thought aside as I hung up my coat and dressed in casual jeans and a nice blue shirt and matching light sweater—the kind that’s longer in the front than in the back.Then, I headed out to the kitchen and decided to make some good old-fashioned spaghetti and meatballs. Logan had always called it ‘comfort food for the soul’.Within minutes, I had the water for the spaghetti on to boil, the sauce cooking, and was rolling the meatballs when I heard a knock on the door. “Just a minute!” I yelled as I washed up and hurried to the door, wiping my hands on a dishtowel.I flung the door open, and Logan was leaning against the door facing. “You really should ask who it is before you open the door,” he said in a seductive voice as he handed me a bouquet of pu

    I laughed at her sudden change of heart. I knew just how to manipulate her … tempt her with shopping with an unlimited credit card. “So, when can you get here? We have to go shopping soon. Christmas Eve is just a week away.”She thought for a minute as she shuffled papers in the background. “Give me today to cancel my clients and I’ll be on the first flight out.”I laughed. “Good! Can’t wait to see you! Hey! Don’t plan on going back right away! I want to go out with you on New Year’s Eve, too!”She laughed. “What? Logan not man enough for you?”I laughed. “Just get your ass here! Can’t wait to see you!”Her voice suddenly turned serious. “Yeah. Me, too.”“You okay?”There was a pause at the other end. “Same ‘ol, same ‘ol. No man at Christmas, the usual.”“Well, we’re going

    AlyssaThe next morning, I left Logan sleeping on his bed, dressed, and gave him a light kiss on the forehead, careful not to wake him. He rolled over, smiling, and hugged his pillow. I loved watching him sleep. I hated to leave him, and wished I could climb back into bed with him, but I had appointments on the book. Since I had moved to New York, word had spread quickly and business was booming. A twinge of guilt pulled at my chest, because I knew a lot of it had to do with Curt.Eying the notepad and pen on Logan’s dresser, I quickly scribbled a note.My Dearest Logan:Thanks for dinner. I especially liked the ‘main course’. Come to my place for dinner tonight … and no complaining about my cooking! LOL!Until Then,AllieIt was funny. He was the one who started calling me Allie, but he was the only one who called me that all the time. Somehow, it fit. Carryi

    “I’ll give you my credit card and you can go get you a dress. And don’t worry about the cost,” I whispered against her lips when I pulled back.She smirked. “You don’t have to do that. I can buy a dress.”I shook my head. “No. I want to,” I said as I placed a credit card with no limit on the table next to her plate. “Besides, you’d better get used to it.”She smiled. “What’s that supposed to mean?”I leaned closer and looked directly into her eyes. “It means that now that I found you again, I’m not going to let you go.”She was about to say something, but stopped short when the doorbell rang.“Ignore it,” I said, leaning in to give her a kiss. “It’s probably just the doorman.”But she pulled back and bit her lower lip. My heart sank at her expression, wondering what she was thinking about what I had
