“Killing me Kat.”
“I know,” I tease him. I take his hand from my butt and move it to my front. “Just remember what you are playing for tonight,” I whisper in his ear pressing his hand against my center. His finger brushes against my smooth skin and he starts pushing me towards my room.
“Oh no you don’t. Go get ready.” I shove him towards his own room. He goes reluctantly.

The guys look like bona fide rock stars as we get into the elevator at the hotel. Hunter spots some random girls in the lobby and invites them to come with us. Vance eagerly says, “hell yeah!” I just shake my head. As long as they keep their hands of Kai, I don’t care.
We all pile into Hunter’s van. I sit on Kai’s lap to make room for the newly acquired groupies. His fingers are teasing at the hem of my dress, rubbing over my thighs.
“This dress is too short.”
“Are you saying you don’t like it Kai Cooper?”
“I like it too much,” he says and I feel him twitching in his pants beneath me.
“Want you so bad Kat,” he says sucking on my neck.
“You two are so hot together!” One of the girls says watching us.
We pull up at the back of the club. Jake tells the girls they will have to go around the front to go in. They look annoyed but get out and go around the building. The guys get out and Kai tells them to give us a minute.
I scoot off his lap and he takes my hand brushing his thumb over my knuckles. “I didn’t say anything to the guys. I didn’t want to put any pressure on them. There is an agent coming to watch us tonight. Raven got an email from him through our blog. She checked him out and he is legit. This could be huge for us.”
“That is amazing Kai, he is going to love Cooper’s Religion. I just know it. I’ve had this feeling all day that something great was about to happen tonight.”
“Just don’t say anything to the guys. I don’t want to set them up for disappointment ya know.”
“You’ve got this Kai. I believe in you.” I kiss his cheek and open the door.
Jake leads the way to the back door. There is a bear of a man standing guard with a clipboard. Jake shows him his ID and we are all shown in without a problem. Kai has his fingers wrapped in mine. His palm is sweaty. I can tell he is nervous. We are taken to a room and given drinks until the guys are set to go on. Kai gives me his phone so I can film them when they get on stage. I left my phone in the room like a dummy because I was so excited.
The owner of the club comes in and introduces himself. “If you guys need anything just let us know. We have a huge crowd tonight.”
Kai speaks up and tells him he wants me near the stage so I can film. The guy looks reluctant but agrees to let me.
The guys are trying to seem cool, calm and collected but I know they are freaking out. This is the biggest show they have done. I can see why Kai didn’t tell them about the agent. I am so proud of him. The guys all take a shot to calm their nerves. Kai hands me one and I knock it back but nearly gag as the bitter liquid burns my throat. He pulls me in for a deep, rough kiss. His hands go to my rear teasing at the back of my thong. He snaps the thin thread against my crack and laughs.
I shove him away and tell him, “You better kill it out there tonight.”
The club manger comes in and gives them their five-minute warning. I follow them to the stage. Kai takes his guitar and straps it over his chest looking like a rock god, and he is all mine.
A bouncer escorts me to where I am to stand during their performance. I look out at the crowd. Oh my god, that dude was not kidding, there is hundreds of spring breakers here. I get the video ready to record. My finger is hovering over the red button on the screen.
“Please give a warm welcome to Cooper’s Religion.”
Kai pulls up a stool and lowers the mic. Taking his seat with his guitar strapped over his chest, brown shaggy hair hangs across his eyes. His hand shifts, brushing his hair back and he smiles when one of the girls from the hotel screams out, ‘I love you Kai.’ His dimples pierce straight through me owning my soul.
His voice comes out so soft and smooth, it is sexual and romantic the way he strums his guitar. “If this is what being hurt by you feels like, then…I love pain…” No lyric has ever rang more true for me. “Being loved is just like being suffocated.”
His fingers move through the chords with ease and he looks at me, his eyes burning with desire. “I’m on fire,” he sings the chorus and I die a little on the inside. “I’ll be your pain and you’ll be my biggest regret…you set me on fire. Give me your love and suffocate me…I’m on fire.”
The crowd is loving it. I can’t believe he is singing our words! We wrote that together, my boyfriend and I wrote an amazing song and people are loving it. I make sure to try to get a close-up of each of the guys equally as I capture their performance. I pan around and get a shot of the epic crowd. This is insane. Kai ditches the stool and they do a cover of ‘Mudshovel,’ by ‘Staind.’
I am in awe watching them. Jake is killing it on the drums, his shirt is off and the girls in the audience are screaming about how sexy he is. I hear one girl say how she wants to lick the dragon on Vance’s head. I so hope I got that in the video so I can tease him with it later. Raven is going to flip her shit because she missed this.
Kai is holding the mic tightly between his hands and growling the hard lyrics out to the crowd. The audience joins in singing the chorus with him. He holds the mic out to them, the sound is deafening but I swear I am watching my boyfriend start his career. I can feel it. If that agent is here and watching, he is going to snatch them up in a heartbeat. He would be insane not to want them.
