Then we¿ll party like the rock stars we are.¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eErica grinned at me. ¿Since when do you worry about the show? You're always on point.¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eI tossed my hair back. ¿Yeah I am. I'm also a little needy if you know what I mean.¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eShe nodded. ¿I do indeed.¿ She paused to apply the blood red lipstick she favored. ¿Wait, what happened with JD? I thought y¿all were good.¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eWas that a gray hair? No freaking way! I thought. My hair was still ink black and long. But my grandmother had been a premature gray. Aw hell no. Gotta get rid of that.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e¿Angel? Girl, you need to leave whatever you're smoking alone. You zoned out again.¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eI gave her a droll stare. ¿You know I don't do that. I was just thinking. What did you say?¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e¿I said I thought you and JD were cool.¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eJD was the drummer for our band. He was hot with his long silky blond hair and green eyes. I felt a stirring inside just thinking about his hard body. He was the kind of guy I went for, muscular, tattooed, and pierced. And he was a beast in bed. He liked me, I could tell by the way he dropped hints and stuff. But he was just a friend with benefits. I wasn't interested in being tied down to anyone right now. I was young and interested in being on top of the rock and roll world. I wanted to be as big as my dad was.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e¿He's been dropping hints about us taking things to the next level, but I'm fine with the way things are. I don't want to be in a relationship. I need my freedom.¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eErica nodded in agreement and gave herself one last look in the mirror. ¿I hear you on that one, Ang. I was having that same conversation with Javier. I need to be free to sample what¿s out there. Besides, one day, the right one is going to come along, and you'll change your mind and settle down.¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eI laughed. ¿Ha. I doubt that. I'm not the settling down type. I like to be free to come and go as I please. Do what I want.¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e¿And who you want?¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e¿Of course.¿\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eErica gave herself one last look in the mirror before she straightened. ¿Maybe when we¿re too old to rock, we¿ll get domesticated.¿    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Author's Republic audio production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harlequin Love Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150338146544,"sku":"2940169886047","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169886047_p0.jpg?v=1763696645","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169886047","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
