She smiled. “Yes. You do, actually.”
Beyond the stage, the crowd roared again. Louder. Wilder. Frenzied and ecstatic.
The sound of Noah pounding out a crazy beat rumbled through Josh’s body, telling him the rest of the band had taken the stage. Had begun the night’s show.
Samuel’s intricate guitar riff joined Noah’s beat. Levi’s throbbing bass did the same, as did Jax’s dancing rhythm.
Josh’s gut churned some more. His mouth turned to chalk. His chest crushed.
Time. It was time.
Before he could stop himself, Josh flicked a look towards the deep shadows behind the stage.
“Kick off time,” he murmured, smiling at the darkness.
At the man no one else but him, Pepper and Josh’s mum knew was standing there. At the man who was going to come out of retirement and join Josh on stage during the very last song of the night.
At the man who had written that song, Whispers in the Night, for Josh’s mum, the woman he loved more than life.
Nick Blackthorne. Josh’s father.
Before Pepper could reply, Josh turned, grabbed up his own guitar, and bounded up onto the stage.
Ready. More than ready.
It was time to rock the fucking world.
About the Author
Lexxie Couper started writing when she was six and hasn’t stopped since. She’s not a deviant, but she does have a deviant’s imagination and a desire to entertain readers with her words. Add the two together and you get romances that can make you laugh, cry, shake with fear, or tremble with desire. Sometimes all at once. When she’s not submerged in the worlds she creates, Lexxie’s life revolves around her family, a husband who thinks she’s insane, an indoor cat who likes to stalk shadows, and her daughters, who both utterly captured her heart and changed her life forever.
