Bad Boy Collection: 5 Steamy Bad Boy Short Stories (ePub)

"So where are we partying tonight?"

I glanced at my best friend and band mate Erica. "Let's get through the show first, huh? Then we'll party like the rock stars we are."

Erica grinned at me. "Since when do you worry about the show? You're always on point."

I tossed my hair back. "Yeah I am. I'm also a little needy if you know what I mean."
