The next few months flew by for everyone else. But, to me, it seemed to drag. I went through the motions of the day, playing gigs with my band, shopping for clothes for stage and for the trip, but I was secretly looking over my shoulder, waiting for Logan, hoping beyond all hope that he would come walking through the door.

“What’s up?” Noah asked after our band rehearsal one night. We were leaving for our tour in just a few days, so I pushed the thought of Logan out of my mind and spent my time saturated in the music. But it wasn’t the same. I wasn’t the same.

“Hum?” I asked, finishing the rift I’d been playing, half paying attention. The studio spent the bucks and got me three new guitars to switch between during the show: two electric guitars and another plugged-in acoustic. I’d been using them over the past few weeks, and I loved the feel of them.

“Alyssa, stop and look at me.”

When you “fall in love” in three days and start talking about getting married and having babies, but he can’t take context cues and won’t listen to an explanation from “the love of his life”, you need to realize you dodged a bullet. “I’ll always love you”, and “I’ll never leave you” sure didn’t last

    Tears sprang to my eyes as I set the guitars down, ran across the parking lot, and wrapped my arms around her. I pulled her to my chest and sobbed into her long, blonde hair, unable to speak.“Hey, now!” she said, stroking the back of my hair. “It can’t be all that bad!”Beside me, Craig set my guitars down. “I thought that having your sister here might cheer you up.”I nodded as I pulled back and held Greer at arms’ length. “How long can you stay?”She shrugged. “I’m leaving after your bus pulls out.”“And Dad let you come?”She laughed. “The only way that he’d let me go was if I promised to come straight back after you leave.”I smiled. “Too bad you can’t stay on the tour with me for the summer. I can send you back before school starts.”The familiar mischievous gleam appeared in her eyes. “I was

    Greer laughed. “Good for you! You’re finally getting a sense of humor!”I gave her a slight nudge as I found my apartment key. “I’ve always had a sense of humor. You were just too busy with your boyfriends to notice!”“Hey, now!”I laughed as I opened the door to my apartment. “Well, this is it! Home sweet home … for the next few days, anyway.”“Wow!” Greer said as she walked into the living room, looking around.A smile spread across my face. “Well, what do you think?”“I love it!” she said as she looked around. “This is so cute!” She walked around the room, and then turned abruptly to face me. “Hey! I have an idea!”“Uh oh.”Greer laughed. “Now, this isn’t bad. Let’s go shopping!”A slow smile spread across my face. “Sounds great! Let’s go! I have

    The next three days I spent with Greer were exactly what I needed; it was a magical time with my sister, and I couldn’t bear to part with her … not just yet. So, I phoned our father the night before and, reluctantly, he gave his permission for Greer to come with me on the first leg of the tour. But I had to promise him that she would be on a plane headed for home before her senior year of high school began.The next morning, a limo was sent for us from the studio and Richard Porter, the apartment manager, said that I could keep my VW Bug there. I was hoping that Logan would have come to say goodbye, but it was just as well. I hadn’t seen him since that night. At that point, I didn’t know how I would react if and when I saw him again.Greer had helped me clean up the apartment over the last few days, and now, I turned to lock it for the last time … at least for a while. The tour was supposed to last for nine months, but I wasn’t sur

    “Shush!” I said. “Everyone will hear you.”“So?” she said.I took a deep breath. “Since when did you get so wild?”She smiled. “Since you left and aren’t there to mother me anymore.”I shook my head. “Just watch it with my band members. I have to work with these guys.”She smiled and nodded, and then turned her attention to Wyatt, who was sitting across the aisle. Luckily, I didn’t have anything to worry about with him. He had a girlfriend back home.After a bit, I turned my attention out the window, thinking of Logan; wondering what he was doing, where he was, and when he was going on tour, too. I guessed it was best that I didn’t know. My mind wandered back to the last night we shared together. We’d both hoped I was pregnant then, and everything was right in the world. I wasn’t, but I guessed that it was just as well, given everything that

    When the sun began to set, Greer slid into the seat beside me. “Are you okay?” she whispered as she leaned her head against the seat.I nodded. “Yeah. Are you?”“Yeah,” she replied as she looked away for a minute, thinking. Then, she turned back. “That song you wrote is beautiful. How did you come up with it?”I shrugged. “A candlelit night I spent with Logan.”A familiar pain gripped my chest.She nodded thoughtfully. “I thought so.” Then, she looked into my eyes and raised her eyebrows. “Are you okay?”I nodded. “I will be.”Greer forced a smile as she reached over and squeezed my hand. “If you need to talk, I’m here.”I nodded as I looked around, silently indicating everyone around us. “Maybe later.”Soon, everything grew quiet on the bus as night fell. The sound of the tires hitting the surfac

    Rays of morning sun shone through the window the next morning, caressing my face, alerting me to the start of a new day as the events of the day before rushed to my head. I looked over at Greer and smiled. She was still asleep in her bed.I grabbed my clothes and tiptoed quietly toward the bathroom. I quickly showered and dressed, and then headed downstairs. The strong scent of coffee rushed toward me as I stepped off the elevator.Following the scent, a man with a warm smile greeted me at the door of a little breakfast room. Tables set sporadically throughout the room. “Good morning! There’s coffee over here and a waffle maker here,” he said, gesturing around the room, a bit too cheerful.I forced a smile. “Thanks. I’ll help myself,” I said as I crossed the room to the coffee maker and poured myself a cup. After I added sweetener, it tasted heavenly, even if it nearly burned my mouth. I looked around. Full plate glass windows

    We spent the day shopping, but as the day wore on, I kept falling into silence. We got some lunch in the food court, and Greer sat down at a table across from me. “Okay. What the hell is wrong with you?” she asked. “If you’re nervous about tonight, I get it. But don’t let your nerves …”“It’s not nerves,” I said as I looked down at my soda.She leaned across the table at me, forcing me to look into her eyes. “Then, what the hell is it? You’ve been acting weird all morning.”I snapped my head up. “I’ve not been acting weird.”“Okay. Then … strange.” Greer let out an exasperated breath. “What’s going on? Spill! It’s me! Your sister!”I laughed. “Since when did you get so bossy?”She shrugged as she gave me a mischievous smile. “I’ve always been this way. You just didn’t notice

    A moment later, PNC Arena came into view as everyone cheered. Greer looked across the aisle at me from where she was sitting next to Brett and gave me a wink. I smiled and nodded, understanding. We always had a way of communicating without saying a word.Mack pulled the RV behind the stadium and pulled to a stop. Outside, fans were already waving and yelling. Craig wrapped his arm protectively around me as we made our way into the stadium.“Why don’t you go warm up?” Craig said, going into his business mode. “You have a few minutes before the show starts.”I nodded and followed him into the green room, along with Greer and the members of my band. Cheers and incoherent chatter came from the stadium, as butterflies fluttered inside my stomach.“Nervous?” Greer asked, concerned.I shrugged. “A little.”She pulled me in for a hug. “You’ll do great.”I nodded my thanks

    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
