  Maddox laughed, ���I have no clue.���

  ���Okay, so I need to be a girl and decide what I am wearing tomorrow.���

  ���As little as possible.���

  Harper laughed, ���Oh really?���

  ���It���s supposed to be hot out. I am just trying to make sure you���re comfortable.���

  ���What are you wearing?���

  ���Clothes,��� he laughed.

  ���Like skin tight leather pants and a ripped up shirt?���

  ���No!��� he laughed.

  ���Not typical rock star get up, huh?���

  ���Hell no, jeans and a tee,��� Maddox laughed.

  ���Do you wear make-up?���

  ���I refuse to answer that.���

  ���Oh my God, you do!���

  ���Again, I refuse to answer that.���

  Harper laughed, ���I can���t wait to see you.���

  ���Stay with me tomorrow night?���

  Harper closed her eyes and didn���t reply.

  ���I���m not going to try to get in your panties.���

  ���That���s good because I wasn���t planning on wearing any,��� Harper whispered.

  ���Fuck Harper,��� Maddox groaned.

  Harper laughed, ���I was just joking��� I have always wanted to use that line though.���

  ���Tease.���

  ���You going to sing that song again tomorrow night?���

  ���No Harper. I could have made millions on that one song alone, and I refused to record it.���

  ���Could have donated the money to a charity.���

  ���Oh yeah, Fuck You helps feed the children?���

  Harper laughed, ���Yeah��� that would not be cool.���

  ���Did you see the show?���

  ���I did.���

  ���The interview?���

  ���Yes.���

  ���Do you know who I was talking about?���

  ���Hmm, maybe you could tell me.���

  ���You, Harper, mine.���

  She giggled.

  ���Get some sleep, I���ll see you soon.���

  He hung up the phone and laid back down and fell asleep thinking about tomorrow.

  CHAPTER THIRTEEN

  The Garden

  Harper looked in the dressing room mirror. She wore a black tank top adorned with sparkling rhinestones that spelled out ROCK and short white shorts. Her straightened, sun- bleached blonde hair hung down her back, just below her bra strap. She pulled her black cropped jacket off the back of the chair and put it on, covering herself a bit. Her make-up was applied lightly; something she had avoided doing for nearly two years, but decided tonight she needed a little something special. She looked down and laughed at her choice of shoes. Black chucks See not all groupie looking she laughed to herself. Tomas was standing outside giving her privacy. He was like family; she loved him and knew he loved her. He also gave her more privacy than her father would, which was very much appreciated.

  There was a knock at the door, and she sat in the chair in front of the lighted mirror, ���Enter.���

  ���Oh wow, I think I have the wrong room, I thought this was mine.���

  Harper rolled her eyes and stuck her nose in the air, ���No— mine.���

  It only took three strides for him to move from the door to her. He leaned down restraining her wrists gently to the arms of the chair, ���All mine.��� His lips covered hers, and he groaned as he sucked them lightly pulling them out with his own, ���You look fucking beautiful.���

  Harper���s eyes sparkled, and she smiled brightly, ���You look very handsome.���

  ���Shit, I was going for hot,��� he smiled and kissed her neck. His lips ran across the rhinestones on her shirt, and she giggled, ���Rock, huh? I thought I had a country girl.���

  ���Things are ���a changing.��� She grabbed his hair and pulled his head back and kissed him hard, her mouth covering his.

  He held the back of her head firmly against is chest and walked to the couch and laid her down. His tongue lightly stroked hers. ���Delicious,��� he kissed down her shirt, pushing the bottom of her tank top up with his nose and started dipping his tongue into her belly button.

  ���Hold up there, cowboy,��� Harper whimpered.

  He laughed against her stomach, ���There is no cowboy here sweetness. All rock star, and I am about to make you scream for more.���

  ���Oh yeah?��� Harper pushed herself up on her elbows and looked down at him, ���Getting a little ahead of yourself aren���t you?���

  ���Two years��� worth of making up to get underway. I would say I am a little bit,��� he sat on his knees and lifted her legs up high and bit her ass lightly and she squealed, ���Behind.���

  ���Maddox Hines,��� she tried to squirm away.

  ���Yeah, sweetness?���

  ���Slow down,��� she smiled shyly.

  ���You make everything feel better, Harper. I just thought I would return the favor,��� he gave a little nervous laugh and lowered her legs and sat on the edge of the couch.

  Harper sat up next to him and elbowed him softly, ���Just don���t wanna get banged backstage at a rock concert. Too clich��.���

  He looked at her, ���I wouldn���t bang you in the dressing room, Harper, not the first time anyway.���

  ���Okay,��� Harper giggled.

  ���A hotel room, candles, music, lots and lots of time to work you up,���

  ���Work me up?��� Harper laughed.

  ���Yeah,��� he looked at her and winked.

  ���What���s that supposed to mean?���

  ���Let���s just say you will be begging before������ Maddox turned his head towards the door as it was opening.

  Jazz stopped when she saw Harper, ���That���s far enough,��� Tomas��� deep voice came from directly behind her.

  ���Is this her?���

  Maddox stood and smiled, ���Jazz this is Harper, Harper this is my friend Jazz.���

  ���Hi Jazz,��� Harper smiled softly and stood up.

  Jazz looked at her briefly before turning towards Maddox, ���She���s blonde.���

  ���I told you that,��� Maddox���s voice was gentle yet firm.

  ���She���s tall.���

  Harper looked down.

  ���Blue eyes, needs more makeup,��� Harper closed her eyes.

  ���Jazz, that���s enough,��� Maddox warned.

  ���She has huge boobs, is that what it is?���

  ���I���ll see you on stage, Jazz.���

  ���Nice to meet you, Jazz,��� Harper called as Jazz went out the door.

  ���Nice to meet you?���

  ���She freaked me out.���

  ���She thinks you have nice tits.���

  ���Great,��� Harper laughed.

  ���Was it that awful?���

  ���Weird.���

  ���Alright sweetness, time for me to get out there. Walk with me?���

  ���Maybe I should stay������

  ���Oh no you don���t,��� Maddox picked her up and kissed her, ���Walk or I���ll carry you out there right on stage.���

&nb
sp; Maddox stood away from the band holding Harper���s face in his hands. His forehead held against hers, stroking his nose slowly across hers. T, Zach, and Jazz took the stage, and the crowd screamed— it was deafening. He took her hand and held it to his chest, and his heart began to beat faster. She smiled at him, and he smiled back. ���This happens every time I���m about ready to perform onstage.���

  ���That���s pretty cool.���

  ���The only other time it happens, Harper, is when I think about being inside of you.���

  Holy Shit, she felt her face turn red.

  ���Don���t blush sweetness; think back��� it���s been happening for three years,��� Maddox smiled when he heard T tapping his sticks, ���That���s my cue.��� He kissed her lips and went to pull away; she bit down on his lower lip and ran the tip of her tongue slowly across it. His eyes closed, and he let out a deep breath and she let go. ���What are you trying to do to me?���

  ���Good luck, Maddox.���

  ���Yeah,��� he pulled her tightly against him and kissed her several times softly and sweetly. He stepped back and winked, ���Be back soon.��� When Maddox bound on the stage the crowd went wild, ���Hello, New York!��� They screamed even louder, ���Thanks for having us here tonight. I���m Maddox Hines and we are Burning Souls!���

  Emma walked over to Harper and smiled, ���How are things?���

  ���Great,��� Harper looked quickly at Emma and then back to the stage.

  ���He���s good,��� Emma smiled.

  ���He is amazing,��� Harper corrected her and laughed.

  Harper watched him play his guitar and sing, dance, and jump around. He was very comfortable with the crowd, not nervous like he had seemed at O2 before the lovely song that still left a bitter taste in her mouth. But he had changed. He and T looked like they had so much fun together, truly friends. She looked at Jazz, whose focus was unbreakable. She was just over five feet tall, and very petite. She was pretty, and Harper imagined she would be prettier without so much dark make up on. Zach was definitely playing for the ladies in the crowd. He was very handsome. Tall, sharp features and built well. He had a definite badass look to him. T was adorable with blonde hair, blue eyes, just at six feet tall and lean. His hair was spiked in a faux hawk tonight and watching him was a show in of its own. Maddox stalked off stage, eyes fixed on Harper. His gray tee shirt was drenched with sweat, and he toweled off his hair as he continued walking towards her. He grabbed her and hugged her, tightly nipping her neck and then covering it with kisses.

  ���Hey there, animal,��� she laughed.

  ���Animal, huh?���

  ���Yeah, and you are getting me all wet,��� she pulled away.

  ���Then I���m doing my job properly,��� Maddox laughed and stepped away. He took her hand pulling her behind him down the hall. They walked into his dressing room and pulled off his shirt. She looked away, and he laughed. He grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat from his body and grabbed another shirt and put it on. Harper looked up and smirked, ���You peeking at me?��� She nodded her head yes. ���Good. Did you like the show?���

  ���Which one?��� She smiled.

  ���Aw, first half of the show, you funny girl.���

  ���Intermission has been pretty cool.���

  He walked towards her, pulled her into him, and kissed her quickly, ���Wait till the after show.���

  ���Oh?���

  ���Private show, you wanna come?��� Maddox smiled as if he was enjoying a secret.

  ���Sure?���

  Maddox laughed, ���Got to get back out there, let���s go,��� Maddox took her hand and walked to the stage���s wing where Harper would stand and watch the second half of the show.

  ���Wait here, I need a drink, you want one?��� Harper nodded her head yes.

  Harper smiled at the ground and hugged herself.

  ���You think he loves you?��� Harper turned around and saw Jazz standing behind her.

  She looked over Jazz, Tomas was looking at her. ���Jazz, I������

  ���No, you really thinks he loves you. He doesn���t, he just wants to fuck you. Then you���ll be out of his nightmares, and he will be done with you,��� Jazz smiled.

  ���Jazz, that���s not how it is with Maddox and me,��� Harper looked sadly at her. ���This isn���t to hurt you. I would really like to be your friend.���

  ���Maddox is my friend, you are not,��� Jazz smiled at her and looked up as Maddox walked quickly towards them.

  ���Everything okay?���

  ���Yes,��� Harper smiled and looked at Maddox, ���I was just telling Jazz I would like us to be friends.���

  Jazz smiled and walked away.

  Maddox handed her a bottle of water, ���How did that go?���

  ���Not well,��� Harper scowled.

  ���Thanks for trying Harper, but I���ll handle this,��� Maddox kissed her and looked at Tomas briefly, ���Thirty minutes on stage, thirty minutes to sign autographs and take pictures with the backstage passers, and then the rest of the night in heaven.��� He kissed her again and walked quickly out to the screaming crowd.

  Tomas walked up to Harper, arms folded over his chest and looked her directly in the eyes, ���She is going to be trouble, Miss Harper.���

  ���She���ll come around,��� Harper smiled and looked off stage.

  ���Harper, never alone with her do you understand?���

  ���Tomas, I���m not stupid.���

  ���I know that. But your eyes are not focused on anything, but that boy. You need to������

  ���That���s what I have you for Tomas,��� Harper smiled and kissed his cheek quickly.

  Brody stood against the wall— arms crossed and brows knit together. Emma walked over to him and smiled, ���You alright?���

  ���Nope,��� he kissed the top of her head swiftly and continued looking onstage.

  ���Penny for your thoughts?���

  ���I don���t have a good feeling about this.���

  ���Tessa said that they leave in a week and will be gone for a month.���

  ���You really think she���s going to agree to that?���

  ���I trust that she will.���

  ���And what about Maddox, he has this tour and������

  ���He���ll be very busy. I hope he���ll let us help out with Jazz and we can get her head on straight.���

  ���She has been part of his everyday life for a year, Emma. Without a doubt, she will be an issue, but I think we are underestimating how he is going to feel.���

  ���You think he loves her?���

  ���Not the way he feels for Harper. He feels responsible for her, which may pose more of a problem.���

  ���So we fix it for him.���

  ���How much has he allowed us to help him with since Jazz came into the picture?���

  ���We just have to push harder.���

  ���And if he resists?���

  ���Then we keep pushing.���

  Brody smiled at her and pulled her back against his chest, ���Alright then.���

  Harper���s phone vibrated in her jacket pocket. She pulled it out and saw the picture ID of her and her mother, ���Hey Mom!���

  ���Hi Harper, I miss you,��� Tessa was quieter than normal.

  ���I wo
uld say the same, but I am at an amazing show, and I would be lying!���

  Tessa laughed, ���What are your plans for tonight?���

  ���Um, I don���t know yet.���

  There was silence on the line, and Harper felt her face warming. She was glad there was a distance between them. Her mother would know her intentions immediately if she could see her.

  ���Okay. We���re going to all be leaving in a few days to head back to South Africa for a few weeks.���

  ���Okay��� I figured we would be going somewhere.���

  ���So enjoy spending time with Maddox. But Harper, remember who you are,��� Tessa���s voice cracked.

  ���I���ll be home tomorrow, Mom,��� Harper said softly.

  ���I know, but tonight Harper, remember who you are alright?���

  ���I will, I love you Mom.���

  ���I love you.���

  Harper shoved the phone in her pocket and took a deep breath and looked back on stage at Maddox. The lights dimmed, and it was dark.

  She felt someone beside her, ���That was awesome!���

  She turned and hugged who she thought was Maddox and the lights came back on. Harper���s arms dropped quickly, ���I am so sorry.���

  ���You want to be my friend?���

  ���Yes,��� Harper looked for Tomas and he was walking quickly towards her.

  ���Why?��� her glare was intense and Jazz grabbed her hand, ���Why?���

  Maddox ran off stage and grabbed Harper, ���Jazz get back out there, we have one more song!��� Jazz stood still holding Harper���s hand staring into her eyes, ���Jazz!��� She finally blinked and looked at Maddox, ���GO!��� She looked down and walked off stage, ���You okay?���

  The hair on the back of her neck stood straight up, and she laughed making light of what had just happened, ���I am fine, go.���

  ���We can leave.���

  ���Don���t be silly, go.���

  Maddox looked at Tomas, and he nodded.

  ���I���ll be right back.���

  Harper and Emma sat in the dressing room waiting for Maddox.
