Rock Star Rebel (Rising Rock Star) (5 page)

Sadie was stunned, what kind of stunt is he pulling?

“This special girl stole my heart, friends. I don’t mean to get all mushy on you, but I’ve got to tell you, I haven’t felt like this in a long time.”

Walking slowly, Sadie’s heels click clacked on the stage as she walked.

“So, I’ve been spending time with this little gal, and let me tell you, I think big bad Simon Thrasher has a soft spot,” he pounded on his chest.

Sadie inched closer and mouthed, “What are you doing?”

“You’ll be my girlfriend, right? What do you think everyone, should she be my girlfriend?”

The crowd went wild, screams and cheers filling the space.

“Come here and give me a kiss, baby,” he said into his microphone.

Sadie was trapped like a deer in headlights, staring at Simon. Turning away from the microphone he leaned in to Sadie’s side and whispered, “We’ll talk later, now give me a kiss.”

The couple shared a very public, very passionate kiss on the stage in the middle of the stage – and as they slowly disengaged, Simon broke into one of his rock ballads. Sadie stumbled back off the stage, stunned at what just happened.

How? What? Nothing made sense. He knew, and yet he pulled her on stage in front of all those people, and girlfriend, he barely knew her. She stood confused watching Simon sing his songs while his band played beside him. As the show wrapped up, she waited for Simon – and as he ran off the stage right before his encore, he scooped her in his arms. “Meet me in my dressing room,” he said and then left to finish the show.

Sadie was stunned. What just happened? She made her way to Simon’s changing room, and waited for his arrival. As he opened the door, she stared at the sweaty man as he entered.

“I know everything,” he said.
“I had somebody do some checking. Don’t fuck with me, I’m going to give you a chance to tell me everything, the truth,” he said, eyeing her. “If you tell me the truth, I want you to stay, be my girlfriend. If you lie even one tiny bit, I’ll tell Bobby and have you arrested.”

Sadie stared. Her entire insides turned to jelly, her heart was thundering in her ears, and her head felt dizzy. As she opened her mouth to speak, everything went dark. She woke on Simon’s sofa, him standing over her. He’d pulled her onto
the sofa, and was saying her name. Fuzzy images were in front of her, and her name was being repeated in the distance. As she came to, she saw Simon’s face, he was genuinely concerned.

“You okay?” He asked, as he handed her a bottle of water. “Take a drink.”

“Yeah,” she said sitting up. “I’m not Sadie,” she whispered. “I’m Julie.”

“I know,” he said, watching her lips as she spoke. “I need to hear it all, from you. Tell me the truth.”

“I have a record,” she whispered, barely getting the words out. “I was trying to start over, and fell back into my old habits.” She was embarrassed at being caught, but looking into Simon’s eyes, she couldn’t lie.

“Keep going.”

“I slept with Bobby to get the job, to get the gig,” she hesitated. “I’m skimming,” she felt the hot tears rolling down her face.

Simon sat back, “I didn’t know that part,” his face went blank.

Sadie stared at him, uncertain what to do. “I’ll go, please don’t turn me in. I can’t get busted again, I’ll go to jail.”

He shook his head, “Why?”

“I don’t know - it’s just what I do.”

“It doesn’t have to be,” he answered softly.

“You don’t want somebody like me around. I should go,” Sadie said, lowering her head.

“Yeah, you should.” He sat back, and watched her rise.

As she reached the door, she turned to look at Simon. “I’m sorry.”

“Would you have really taken the money?”

“I already have.”

Shaking his head, “
You can give it back.”

“I can’t, I owe people money.”

“How much, I can help you.”

“Simon, it doesn’t work that way. I need a lot of money. I was going to pay some people off and then retire. Please don’t turn me in. I’ll go.”

“How much?”

“Simon,” she said, standing frozen.

“How much?” He demanded. “How much do you need, and how much were you going to take?”

“More than you expect to hear.”

“Give it back, start over. We can be together. I’ll pay off your debts, and you quit your role in the tour, and in return you give us a chance.”

“Simon, why are you doing this? I’m bad news.”

“I don’t know,” he stood and walked to where Sadie was standing, “I haven’t felt anything in ages, you know, I do the show, random women show up, but when I kissed you, I felt something. It was real, and I know you felt it too. We’ll make a fresh start, be my girlfriend, tour with me, but quit your job. I won’t say anything to Bobby – we’ll pretend like it didn’t happen.”

Sadie stood looking at Simon. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, I’m scared.”

“What are you afraid of, that you got caught?”

“No, I’m afraid of my feelings for you.”

Simon smiled, “I knew you felt it too,” he said pulling her into his arms.

She
nodded; embarrassed to be caught with her hand in the cookie jar, but relieved he wasn’t going to turn her into anyone.

“Do we have a deal?”

“Simon, I hate that we met this way. You’ll never trust me fully.”

“I’m glad that we met this way. Now you don’t have to hide your secrets from me, and can be honest.”

How was this possible? He could have any woman he wants, why did he want her? Sadie felt a rush of feelings, mixed up confusion, fear, and also a sense of relief. Could she turn her life around? Could she start over, and would he ever fully trust her?

As his lips layered kisses on her own, she parted her lips and kissed the rock star deeply. Simon refused to let go, and stepping back fully into the room, he reached down and locked the door. His hands were roaming her body, and as he lifted off her shirt, Sadie gave herself over to her lover, her boyfriend.

Simon’s lips moved lower, nuzzling her neck, and then fell down around her chest. Nibbling, and then suckling a nipple between his lips and into his mouth, he smiled when he listened to her sigh. He wanted to fill her, push his cock deep inside between her legs, and let his seed bathe her. He wanted her more than he’d wanted a woman in a long time. He hadn’t planned to fall in love, and certainly not with a scam artist, but the heart wants what the heart wants.

As his mouth worked one nipple, his fingers teased her other. Squeezing, rolling, pinching her flesh, he pulled gently at her pert nipple feeling it harden at his touch. Moving his mouth from one breast to the other, he felt his hardness growing, his leather pants stifling its growth.

“Take a shower with me,” he said, breaking free. Taking Sadie’s hand, he led her into the bathroom and turned on the water. They were desperately pulling at their clothing, trying to shed them as fast as possible.

Sadie needed to be pressed to his naked, sweaty body more than she needed anything right now. The fire she felt in her belly around this man was unlike anything she’d ever felt before. She wanted him, needed him, and as the water sprayed to life, the couple stood under the water sharing their bodies and kisses.

How could this be happening so fast? Sadie’s head was swimming, trying to keep afloat. She was still trying to absorb the fact that he knew her truth, offered to bail her out, and still wanted her to be his girlfriend. It was all too much.

Simon was overwhelmed when he got the news. He’d had someone dig dirt on her after the Mary Alice incident in the restaurant. Something didn’t feel right. His first instinct was to turn her in, throw her out on her ass, but the thought of not seeing her again ruined him. He knew something was going on, and he was having genuine feelings for the girl. He didn’t even know how it happened so fast, but he hadn’t felt this kind of chemistry with anyone in ages.

The last time he felt anything even close to this was…well, it was a long time ago, and he hasn’t seen her since their break-up ages ago. She probably forgot about him, though he’d always remember her. It just didn’t work, and ever since that, he hadn’t been able to feel anything for anything. She wanted to get married, he wasn’t ready, and after an ultimatum she left. It was a long time ago, but sometimes the wound still felt fresh – until Sadie came along.  Suddenly the clouds cleared away, and all he could see was this beautiful woman before him.

He knew he fell fast and hard, but everything inside of him said to hold tight. She was the one…and he wasn’t letting her go.  He’d missed his chance in the past by waiting too long to ask a woman to be his, only his, and he wouldn’t let that slip by him again.

Simon’s mouth reconnected with Sadie’s breast, and as her hands stroked his body, she wrapped her fingers around his hard, wet cock and squeezed him. Pressing her against the tiled wall, Simon reached down and lifted Sadie’s thigh, push
ing his cock up between her legs. Thrusting into the woman, he pumped hard and fast, getting out all of his energy and draining his seed within her.

Drying off, they made their way out to the sofa and slowed down the process. Simon wanted to make love to her, and take his time doing it. Sitting back, he had her sit on his lap, facing out. With her back to him, she sat on his dick, as his hands wrapped around and fondled her breasts. As Sadie started to lift and fall, feeling Simon’s penetration, he stopped her.

“Just sit there. I want to feel you,” he said, not wanting to rush.

Sadie leaned back into his chest, and his fingers moved up and down her body. Sliding them lower and lower, he played with her pussy lips which were stretched around his cock. Finding her clit, he started to rub small circles and flicking it, teasing her.

Her hips lifted up in response, and her back arched. Electricity ran through her as her juices flowed, Simon felt her wetness running over his balls. As she came while sitting on him, he couldn’t stop himself and started thrusting from below, and in unison, they found their rhythm once again. Their bodies pumped and grinded together, and as Simon felt his peak rising, he grunted loudly before letting go.

Their bodies crumpled onto the sofa, and together they tangled up, their arms and legs in an embrace.

“I think I’m falling in love with you, girl.”

“That’s a mistake,” she started to say, hot tears streaming down. “I’m trouble.”

“You don’t have to be,” he said. “You could just be mine.”

She nodded quietly. She’d be throwing away everything, starting over by holding onto Simon. If she ran, she could start over somewhere, but she knew she’d just keep running over and over again. She was tired of running…she was ready to live.

“Okay,” she whispered. “I trust you.”

“And I
going to trust you with my heart,” Simon answered.

Riding out the rest of the tour together, Sadie never looked back. Simon entering her life was the best thing that ever happened.

Simon fingered the small jewelry box, lost in thought.

With a quick knock
at the door, Bobby entered the room noticing Simon’s hands. “What’s with the box, champ?” He slid his hand in his pocket, “We need to hit the road soon,” he said.

“I’m going to ask Sadie to be my wife,” Simon grinned. “The girl stole my heart.”

Bobby’s jaw dropped, “Kind of impulsive isn’t it? You barely know her. You can’t do that,” his voice was direct and firm. “Simon, every girl in that audience wants to believe they stand a chance. Keep her as your girlfriend if you have to. It’s one thing to have a girlfriend, but a wife could hurt your image. Hell, I’d prefer you dumped the girl and stayed single if you want the truth. It’s a sacrifice, but you’re a rising star with a promising ride. You’re next release can make or break you – do you want the odds in your favor?”

Simon stared at his manager, “I love her, man.”

Bobby softened his tone, and sat beside the singer. “Simon, you barely know her. Okay, I know you like her, love her even, but she’s going to get in the way. Right now you need to focus on your career, and she’s not good for it. You’re distracted, and being attached changes your rock star rebel image. You need to think this through. I can’t make any decisions for you, but I’ll be honest, she could be the stone that weighs you down. You’ve got a shot at going from big to massive, and lengthening your stay in this career. You want to be a flash in the pan, or do you want to keep soaring? The choice is yours,” Bobby said and then let himself out.

Simon fingered the box, and then standing, shoved it in his bag. Maybe he wasn’t ready just
yet; he’d have to think on it.
