Rock Stars Do It Harder Read online

  Pain was better than need.

  *

  Chase watched Jamie slip away once more. She kept running from him, sneaking out of his grasp. She was right, he knew she was. He'd seen the thoughts pass across her face, saw the determination settle onto her features.

  Anna's face crossed his mind, her eyes when she saw him onstage in Vegas. That moment...the surprised pain, it was reason enough to stay away. Anna and Jamie were closer than sisters, and Chase knew Anna still had feelings for him. They may have been buried deep and overshadowed by her love for Jeff, but if she saw Chase again, especially on a regular basis, those feelings would find their way to the surface. Which was a surefire way to break up a friendship.

  He couldn't do that to Anna, or Jamie.

  She was gone, now. Really gone. He was back out on the road tomorrow; they had a show in Kalamazoo and then Grand Rapids, followed by Marquette and then Green Bay. He would stay far away from Detroit. Far away from Jamie.

  He'd stay away if it killed him.

  Chase slumped onto the couch, aching in his heart, aching in his body. He rubbed his hand across his scalp, trying to hold on to the feel of Jamie's hands on his head, on his face.

  He nearly jumped up and followed her, then sat back down.

  A second time he got up and paced to the door, then turned away. No fucking way, dickhead. Don't do it. But it was no use.

  He needed her too badly.

  He threw the door open and ran after her, needing to catch her, if only for one last kiss.
