Rock Me Deeper (Licks Of Leather Book 5)
Page 22
“I have one question for you, Syd Wilston,” the big drummer sneered.
I held my breath, trying to ignore the condescending voice in my head singing, I told you so. I told you being with Syd was going to ruin his career.
I broke out in a cold sweat of fear. The thought of actually walking away from Syd after all we’d shared this time made me want to throw up. Instead, I lifted my chin and sent him a bittersweet smile.
“Did you give up on me when my world went to shit? When I was drowning in nose candy and tearing hotel rooms apart? Did you want me to leave the band when the press was crucifying me and all up in you guys’ shit?”
“Hell no!” Syd spat.
“Then why in the motherfucking hell would you offer to quit…to walk out the goddamn door? You think we’ve all turned into a bunch of pussies? You think we can’t take the press lighting up our balls with their blowtorches anymore?”
“No.” Syd scowled.
Ross was turning the tables on him, and clearly, Syd didn’t like it.
“Then stop presuming we’d rather you walk away than cover your back the way you did mine.” The big drummer’s expression was fierce.
“And mine,” Burk seconded. “None of you were happy when I thought about quitting, but if I’d tried to walk out the door, you would have beat my ass bloody.”
“That’s right. So, don’t make us hurt you, Syd. Because we will. In fact, I’ll hurt your scrawny ass bad.” Ross’s voice hitched as he wrapped his beefy arms around Syd and clapped him on the back.
As tears glistened in Syd’s eyes and his chin quivered, Ozzy, Darren, and Burk moved in, lending their support and melding together in a big, brotherly communal hug. Mia swiped the tears from her cheeks, then tugged me off the couch. Together with the other women, we joined our men, fusing our family in pure, unadulterated love.
“First of all, you are not quitting, Syd,” Quinn announced, drawing everyone’s attention and prompting an end to our hug.
“I know, but…” Syd wiped his eyes and sniffed.
A sly smile tugged a corner of Quinn’s mouth. “Second, I have a solution guaranteed to keep the press off your back. Wanna hear it?”
“Yes.” Syd pulled me into his arms and hugged me against his chest.
“You two were juveniles when all that shit went down, right?”
We nodded in tandem.
“Juvenile records are sealed by the courts. Of course, that doesn’t mean they’ll remain sealed if someone wants to fork over a large amount of cash. Nothing’s sacred when the press is involved.”
My heart felt like a yo-yo. One second I was elated, the next deflated.
“I’m sure Reed Landes would be happy to make a few phone calls. If anyone can get your records dipped in cement and sleeping with the fishes, it’s him.”
I exhaled a massive sigh of relief as Syd squeezed me even tighter and pressed a long kiss to the top of my head.
Cheers went up all around the room and I suddenly realized I wasn’t going home to mourn the loss of Syd again. I was joining legendary rock group Licks of Leather on the road.
Happiness exploded through every cell in my body as I grinned up at him. “Guess this means I’m going to be your personal groupie now?”
“No. You’re my love, my life, and very soon, just like we’d planned years ago, you’re going to be my wife.”
Wife.
My heart nearly burst out of my chest.
Slanting his mouth over mine, Syd captured my lips in a kiss overflowing with passion and promise.
“Christ, you two. Get a room.” Darren chuckled.
“Excellent idea.” Syd grinned, then swept me off the floor and into his arms. I clung to his wide shoulders and laid my head on his chest. “Good night, family, and thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Claiming my lips with another savage kiss, Syd carried me up the stairs, down the hall, and into our room.
“Christ, I can’t wait to get inside you, angel,” he murmured against my neck as he trailed sizzling kisses over my flesh. “Slide deep inside your tight, hot body and rock your world.”
“You’ve always been deep inside me, Syd…deep inside my heart and soul, quaking and rocking my foundation.”
A slow, sexy smile speared his lips as he arched a brow. “Is that so?”
I sent him a coy nod.
“Well, you’d better hang on then, angel, because I’m going to rock you deeper…so much deeper.”
The End
Thank You
Two years ago, I submitted a little novella titled, Seducing Sofia for the charity Anthology; Alphas of Seduction. The amazing, talented, and oh, so generous, Shannon Hunt told me, “You’ve got to write a series about the guys from Licks of Leather.” I’d never written Rockstar romance before, but Burk, Darren, Ozzy, Ross, and Syd intrigued me so much, I nodded and said, “Yeah, I should.”
The rest, they say, is history.
With a heavy heart and a few tears, I’m sad to announce that Rock Me Deeper is the last book in the Licks of Leather series.
Like many of you who’ve messaged me, and left such amazing, heartwarming reviews, I too, fell in love with these rowdy, cocky, and deliciously sensual bad boys of rock and the wild women who love them. I’m going to miss them…a lot.
Of course, I’m one who never says never, unless it’s sardines or sushi. There may come a day when I need to check in on Burk and Sofia, Darren and Tori and Dustin, Ozzy and Mia, Ross and Harmony, and Syd and Caris. If I do, you’ll be the first to know.
Thank you. Thank you so much for taking the journey of love, forgiveness, and second chances with the men and women from Licks of Leather.
YOU ROCK!
All my love to you,
Jenna
