“I won’t sugarcoat shit. It gets pretty crazy at these after parties, but we got the top floor at that swanky new hotel in Aspen.”
“I’d love to.” The excitement in Zoe’s voice was evident now, and when Tanner looked at her she could see a glow surrounding her. She looked at Tanner and gave her these really big grey puppy dog eyes. “I won’t go without you, but it’s been years since we hung out with them. It’ll be like old times, Tanner.”
Tanner knew it wouldn’t be, and didn’t want her friend seeing the debauchery that she could only assume would happen at a rock star party. “Um, I think Marcus and Matty had plans…” She glanced at Jacks.
“They’ll be done with those groupies before we even get to the hotel.” He took a step toward her and reached out for her hand. Once it was encased in his he pulled her up. She felt the calluses along his fingers and swallowed. And then he started to smooth his thumb along the back of her hand, and butterflies—like she was a damn teenager—started flapping in her belly. “I know it’s like a forty-five minute drive, but there are several empty rooms on the floor we took over,” he grinned. “Come on.”
She stared into his blue eyes, and before she could answer she already knew what she would say. “Ok.” Yeah, it had been that easy. She just hoped she could push away these feelings she had for Jacks, because she knew that being friends with him was the safest route, especially given the way she had left and so much time had passed.
She also worried about the experience of going to one of these parties, ones that would probably be filled with alcohol and half-naked chicks wanting his attention in the filthiest of ways.
Tanner didn’t know if she could make sure her jealousy didn’t show, because she had no claim over Jacks, even if he had claimed her in a way that had stolen her heart five years ago.
