Hard Rock Crush

The rock music industry is hard for women. So, I'm guarded. I'm fierce. I've put up walls. Then Liam Knight crushes my shields with no effort at all.
A crush. That word is too simple. Too easy. My feelings go beyond that. Liam is my musical idol. My inspiration. My savior. And he's never, ever going to know.

Until the day he walks into my audition for a gig and blows the competition away. Now he's filling a temporary spot in my band. He's stirring up feelings I tried to suppress. Memories I tried to forget.

And I start to want more than just temporary. I want his lips on mine. I want his hands on my skin. I want his arms wrapped around me, never letting go.

But I know better. I had it all once. And I lost it. I vowed to never let that happen again.

Liam says I'm a star. We both are. He says we can only burn brighter together.

But there are too many reasons why this is a bad idea. So, I can't. I won't.

Because you know what sometimes happens after a star burns out?

It collapses into a black hole, consuming everything in its path.
