Claiming Addison (22 page)

I shake my head softly and close my eyes. “Not in the slightest. Everything that happened, happened because I wanted it to. I got off too.”

He gives me a sad half smile. “I know but by your own hands.”

I bring my hand to his cheek and he tilts his head into my hand. “So did you,” I say with sincerity.

“We both had help.”

I snort a laugh. “Yeah, and so did I. Believe me, Kyle, watching you two do what you did, not only what Talon was doing to you, but you both standing over me, was by far the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Though it may not have been the touching kind of help, it was better than watching porn. It was amazing knowing that with a few simple words, you would both stop, or do anything I asked. That was empowering. Now, a more important question. He was pretty rough with you. How do you feel?”

There is a slow satisfactory smile that spreads across Kyle’s lips giving me all the answers I need to that question and I smile.

“You like it, didn’t you?” I ask.

He nods. “I was lost in everything-you, him, the whole thing. I would have, easily could have taken that a lot further than just a hand job and I wouldn’t have thought twice about it.”

“Good. I’m happy to hear it.”

“Are you trying to tell me that you wouldn’t want us if we weren’t so into each other?” The question is serious but there is a glint in his eye that tells me otherwise.

“No, I’m not. But believe me when I tell you that your attraction to each other turns me on almost as much as you both do when you’re near me, touching or kissing me. I never, not in a million years, expected that I would enjoy sex with another man, let alone two, let alone two very sexy rock gods who are into each other. It’s heady and it’s very confusing, but if there is anything I’ve learned in the last fifteen hours, it’s to follow my heart.”

With that he kisses me. Soft and sensual, holding me to him and I melt into his touch. Talon and Kyle are like polar opposites. Kyle is soft and sensual, a teddy bear. While Talon is rough and a little crass with his words and his actions. Both, while great separate; are beyond comprehension together.

There’s another knock at the door. Kyle pulls back and steps away. “Come in.”

Talon opens the door with a wide smile on his face. “We still good?”

I look at Kyle and back to Talon. “We’re great,” I answer just as Empty Chamber kicks up the strings to their second to last song. “Show time,” I say and walk toward Talon, who hasn’t moved, so I lift up on my toes and kiss his cheek. “No more for you until you go on stage. There isn’t enough time to attack me again.”

“Wanna bet,” he growls but I can tell he’s playing. “Go on, get your butts out there. Oh, and Kyle?”

“Yeah?”

“We need to do something about your assistant,” Talon says solemnly. I, on the other hand, start laughing. “What’s so funny?”

I settle down enough to tell him that Kyle and I had the same discussion this morning. “We’re gonna figure something out, let’s talk later about it,” I encourage and Talon nods. His hand slides off of the door and up to the top of my corset. He tugs on it slightly, adjusting it and then I feel his knuckle graze across my nipple and I shiver. “Not fair!” I moan.

“I never said I would play fair. This is payback for the raging hard on you’re about to give me. Now get out there before I drag you out.” He smirks at me and I take Kyle’s hand. Talon steps back then turns back to where the band is hanging out getting warmed up and I take my spot next to the stage. Kyle disappears, wherever it is that he goes because he always seems to come out of nowhere when he embraces me and I listen to Empty Chamber’s last song. Momentarily realizing that if they decide to change it up, I’m totally screwed.

I was worried about Talon’s assault on Kyle, though he gave Kyle every opportunity to say no, I’m worried that they’re both being pushed too far, too fast. I don’t want that because that’s only going to drive a wedge between the three of us, if at any time either one of them go somewhere the other isn’t ready for yet. I think we need to discuss a safeword. Something that will stop everything, so we can talk about it, discuss it. Not that ‘stop’ wouldn’t be enough, but stopping completely as a threesome.

I am all for pushing boundaries, I’m all for trying new things, but I am not at all about pushing someone to do something they can’t handle and I can see where this sexual adventure could push those limits.

Tonight’s walk is no different than any other night, but yet it feels so much different. First of all, I know what to expect, but I am unprepared for the firework frenzy that Talon and Kyle ignite within me when they take me in their arms. This time they both kiss me at the same time. Kyle takes my neck and Talon devours my lips and tongue. Both hard, both wanting, and neither one willing to pull away from me. It’s Talon who pulls back first. “Kick some ass, big man.”

“Can I lick yours later?” he says back.

I blush. “Yes.”

A wicked smile spreads across his lips and he backs away for the stage. “Hello, Phoenix,” he growls into the microphone and the crowd goes wild as Dex starts pounding on his drums and Mouse brings the crowd to a higher level of excitement when he starts playing the chords of ‘Walk Away’. One of their monster hits. Kyle hasn’t moved from having his arms wrapped around me and we start to dance as Talon entertains the masses. For the first time, I stand there, with Kyle’s arms wrapped around me throughout the entire concert.

I watch as Talon frequently looks over at us, smiles and then goes back to singing. Sometimes there is so much heat in his eyes, both Kyle and I shiver and I can’t help but notice the bulge in Talon’s pants that just never seems to go away, it makes me smile to know that it’s for me and Kyle.

Finally they start to play ‘Your Eyes’ and Kyle spins me around, pulling me into his arms so we can dance together. The song is soft, but still has a great alternative beat to it. But the band plays longer than normal and I feel Talon’s hand on my arm. “I’m not stealing her,” he says to Kyle and understanding crosses his features and he nods. “Come here, panda,” Talon says.

Goosebumps radiate from my heart and my nipples harden beneath my corset as Talon drags me on stage. “No, no, no,” I protest.

Talon pleads with me silently and the rest of the band is encouraging him to do this and I blush. “Ladies and gentlemen,” Talon says into the microphone as he spins me around to face the crowd. “I’d like to introduce you to a very special angel in my life and tonight, I dedicate her favorite song, to her.” Oh god. I put my head in my hands and the guys pick up the pace, bringing the song back around to the beginning. The crowd completely disappears. It’s only Talon, and I can feel Kyle’s presence and nothing else.

Talon starts to sing. Staring straight into my eyes. Without thinking about it, I start to sing along with him. His eyes widen and he steps a little closer to me, putting the microphone between us. I stop singing.

During a musical interlude in the song he mouths, “Don’t you dare stop singing.” Oh shit. He kicks back into the song and I sing along with him. A few lines into it and with some major encouragement, I really get into the song. I’m singing along but when the crowd starts screaming with excitement I realize that Talon isn’t singing anymore, he’s watching and listening to me sing his song. I blush as red as a cherry and stutter. He catches onto my distress and picks up for me. We finish out the song together.

The crowd goes crazy, chanting and cheering for our impromptu duet and I’m floored. I’ve always known I could sing, but I’ve never made a point of doing it. Talon takes my face in his hands and he kisses me so sweet and tender that the world melts away. He pulls back and smiles. Then he ushers over to Kyle for him to join us on stage.

What the hell is he doing? Kyle comes to stand next to me. “Ladies and gentlemen, if it weren’t for these two amazing people, we would not be standing here tonight performing for you. If it wasn’t for your love of our music, we wouldn’t have a reason to be standing here. So join me in a round of applause for these wonderful amazing people and our crew back stage.”

Talon pulls me in for a sideways hug and then he pulls Kyle into our hugging circle too. It’s odd but yet so natural, despite the seventeen thousand people watching us. Talon pulls back, winks at both of us and we take our leave of the stage. Kyle’s hand is on the small of my back and Talon doesn’t take his eyes off of me. I blow him a kiss. He smirks and goes back to being himself on stage.

There are only two more songs left in their set and Talon does what he does best, playing with the crowd and singing like nobody’s business. For the last song he picks up his own guitar and starts to play. Talon with a guitar is something else. Short of him being naked, this is the next best thing to watch on the planet. Kyle still doesn’t leave me. He wraps his arms around me once again.

“You never told us you could sing.”

“Oh please, I can’t hold a candle to half the people out there today.”

“Bullshit. You should be out there.”

I roll my eyes. “Yeah, right.”

“Addison.” Shit, I know that voice, panic races in my veins and I turn to see Cami and Tristan standing just off stage. I disentangle myself from Kyle’s hold and go to them.

“I didn’t know you guys were coming.”

“We had a blast in San Diego we thought we’d come again. Can we talk?” I try to decide if she’s pissed or not and I can’t quite tell.

“Sure.” I turn to Kyle. “We’re gonna take Talon’s dressing room.”

He nods and I turn back to Cami and Tristan, leading them toward the room that Kyle, Talon and I shared a couple of hours ago. That was probably a bad idea. My nerves are shot and I’m not thinking clearly. God, I hope she’s not pissed about the singing, plus his angel comment. Jeez, of all the shows he could have done that, he had to do it here. Dammit, dammit.

I open the door for them, they step inside, and I follow them in. “What can I do for you?” I say, trying to stay cool.

“I’m a little shocked at what I just saw.”

Oh shit. “Which part?”

“Well, I’m not concerned about whatever relationship you’re building with these guys if that’s what you’re so worried about. I am by far the last person on this planet that can stand here and criticize you for that.” Her head bobs pointedly in Tristan’s direction. He snorts a laugh. “No, Addison, I want to sign you.”

I fall back into the couch that’s behind me. “You, what?”

Both Cami and Tristan laugh. “I want to sign you, to Bold, as a client, Addison. Have you ever done that before?”

“What, sing? All the time, in my shower.”

She laughs. “You’ve never performed before?” I shake my head. “You could have fooled me. You were amazing up there. So natural.”

I clear my throat. “I think Talon had a little to do with that. He’s comforting.”

She smiles. “I could see that. But seriously, I’d like for you to consider it.”

“Is that even possible? I mean, I work for Bold.”

“True, you do, but there are always ways around that. Look, we can discuss the details after the tour. I want you to really think about it. If you enter into a life like Talon and his guys live, there is very little chance of going back. I wouldn’t be surprised if your celebrity increases just from tonight. Watch yourself with that. It’s a hard thing to get used to. I know, it’s been three years and I’m still getting used to it, though they leave me alone now. But, well, you know how it goes. You’re no stranger to this industry. So at least you have some inside information. But you can’t decide one day you want to do it and then the next day take it all back.”

I nod. I’m barely hearing her; I’m so taken aback by her offer to sign me. Why me? That is a question I will be asking for a very long time.

“I promise I will think about it, but can I email you with any questions?”

“Absolutely. There’s no pressure, if you decide you don’t want to you don’t have to. But a piece of advice, stay away from the labels. If they come after you, you better come to me,” she says seriously. Tristan, standing quietly behind his wife nods in agreement.
