She groaned and fit herself against him, reveling in the feel of his hard length pressing against her stomach. Desperate to be even closer to him, to prove that this was real, she pressed her hands to his chest and pushed him backward until the back of his knees hit the sofa. He fell back with a thump.
She remained standing and stripped off her shorts and underwear in record time. Slinging her leg over his hips, she straddled him, grinding against his thick cock. He gritted his teeth and grasped the hem of her t-shirt. A second later it joined the shorts in a pile on the floor. His gaze was hot on her naked breasts and she arched her back, encouraging him to taste her. He leaned in to flick her nipple with his tongue, then drew it into his hot mouth.
Hers hips flexed harder against his, the pressure building between her thighs. Rex turned his attention to her other breast as his hand skimmed down her side. He slid the other between them to cover her pussy and squeezed. Moisture rushed to greet him.
“That’s my girl,” he muttered. He pushed her away from his body, ran a finger down her core, then slipped inside. She gasped then shivered as her muscles tensed. She was already close to coming. One move and she was a goner.
“I want you inside me when I come.” Reaching between them, she unzipped his jeans. His swollen cock sprang forward, unencumbered by underwear.
“Pretty sure of yourself, huh?” she teased.
He gave her a pained smile as she stroked him. “Not even a little bit. I just had no clean underwear.”
She threw her head back and laughed, but her laughter turned into a cry as he pressed the head of his dick into her pussy.
“Wait.” She slid from his lap and knelt before him. She wrapped her hand around his length and leaned down to draw him into her mouth. She laved the smooth, broad head with her tongue before sucking deep, sealing her lips around him. He wrapped a hand in her hair and pinched his eyes closed. She worked him up and down with her mouth, groaning as he swelled even more. The faint, salty flavor of his pre-cum hit her tongue and she lapped at the slit of his cock, eager for more. Her nails scored his thigh muscles as she took him all the way, until he tapped the back of her throat. He stiffened beneath her and gave her hair a warning tug.
“You’re playing with fire,” he growled.
She gazed up at him and repeated the maneuver, this time closing her throat around him tight. He let out a strangled snarl and slipped his hands under her arms to drag her up on top of him.
He grabbed onto her hip with one hand, his cock with the other. He stared down at their joining as he teased her pussy, drenching himself in her juices, before he flexed, pushing into her until he was seated fully. They sat that way for a long moment, in silence but for their harsh, labored breath.
She stared down at him, at his beautiful mouth, his eyes almost black with passion, and she nearly wept.
Then he moved. And the storm came, destroying every coherent thought in its path. Need took over, and she began riding him, working her pussy over his cock, desperate for release. Her body clenched around him as he thrust up to meet her. Deeper, faster, until her gasps became cries. He latched on to her nipple and sucked as he pounded into her.
She hurtled over the edge, shuddering as her body exploded, gripping his cock tight as tremors racked her body. He stiffened beneath her and surged forward one more time, tearing his mouth away to bellow her name. She contracted her muscles around him, pulling him tighter as his cock jerked and pulsed inside her.
She fell forward, boneless, onto his chest. His heart thudded wildly against her ear. A few minutes later, she sat back to peer at his face. He looked ten years younger than when he’d walked in. Being with her had done that. Just like being with him changed everything for her. It was like someone had just turned on the light.
The moment dimmed a little as she thought of Beau again. Would he be lonely with her and Rex around less?
“None of that,” Rex said, smoothing the purple lock of hair to the side. “He’ll find someone he’s crazy about, who loves him back the way they should. We can even try to help. We’ll find someone perfect for him, okay?”
She nodded and burrowed close again. That sounded like a great idea. That’s exactly what Beau needed, a woman who loved him for more than just his persona. She’d make it her prime objective.
Rex ran a hand down her back and she smiled. Time to put her worries aside. It had been the best day of her life. She was with the man of her dreams and there was no stopping them now.
“The real question is,” she said with a grin, “who’s going to tell the fans you’re off the market?”
“Off the market?” He cocked a brow in feigned confusion. “Wait, I have to give up the groupies? Because I know at least Shayla said she’d share—”
She socked him hard in the gut and he let out an “Ooph!” before dissolving into laughter.
“Get it out of your head, Rex. Our sharing days are over. It’s me and you from here on out. Can you handle it?”
His laughter subsided and he met her gaze head on. “I can handle it.” “Might take some practice.”
He pressed his hips upward and she groaned. “Better get started then.”

Rock Hard Book 2- Beau
One year later, Rex and Quinn have got a baby on the way. When they hire a chef to come on tour with the band, Beau Trudeau finds a welcome distraction in quirky Gigi Somerville. She’s not his type at all, but she’s fun to have around, and she’s sort of growing on him…
If Gigi wants to start the business she’s worked so hard for, she needs something big to happen. When the members of Hank Lemon and the Law contact her to cook for them during their summer concert tour, she’s elated. Not only is this a dream opportunity, when she meets Beau Trudeau, she realizes she can kill two birds with one stone. He’s the perfect guy to foist her unwanted virginity upon before she has to go back to the real world and fifteen-hour workdays. He’s scorching hot but, even better, he has no interest in a relationship. In fact, he’s so perfectly wrong for her, there’s no chance of her actually falling for him. Right?
Chapter 1
“And this last dish is called Chicken Italiano. It’s organic chicken breast with olive oil, chicken stock, roasted red peppers, hot cherry peppers, onions, garlic and red bliss potatoes.”
Gigi set the plates in front of Rex and Quinn then stepped back. She tried not to stare at them as they ate, but it wasn’t easy. This job meant everything to her. If they hired her to be their personal chef on the road, her dream of launching Some Like It Hot catering would finally become a reality.
If they didn’t? It’d be another year or more before she could secure the loans she needed to move forward, and that was if she even got approved. She clenched her hands together to keep them from shaking.
Relief swamped her as, for the fourth time in less than an hour, Rex groaned as he swallowed the first bite.
“How can it be healthy and that good? I still can’t believe you managed to make this kind of stuff in that tiny little kitchen,” he said with a shake of his head.
Quinn chimed in with a sigh of pleasure as she set her fork down. “If we didn’t still have desserts to get through, I would totally gobble down this whole plate.”
Rex chuckled and reached out to pat her rounded belly. “Hey, if my boy’s hungry, I say feed him as much as he wants.”
She let out a snort. “Yeah. If I do that for the next three months I’ll never get back into my real stage clothes.”
“I think your maternity clothes look great on you.”
“Well, what looks cute when you’re six months pregnant doesn’t look so cute once you’ve given birth. Come on, Rex, the whole reason we wanted Gigi to come in is that I can eat healthy for the baby while we’re on the road. Don’t encourage me to be a glutton!”
Gigi watched their interaction with a pang. They were an amazing-looking couple. Rex was dark and a total bad boy, complete with tattoos an
d a faux hawk. He had this brooding air about him, until he looked at his wife. Then he lit up as if he was the happiest guy in the world.
She shifted her gaze to Quinn. Rex was right, she did look great in her maternity clothes. She wore a stylish baby-doll dress in black with white stripes. It was short enough to show off long, toned legs that any woman would envy. Her black hair was adorable in a pixie style.
Gigi quelled the urge to run a hand over her own sloppy up-do and wipe the flour off her apron. It wouldn’t matter anyway. With or without the trappings, she would never look like Quinn Myles.
She watched as husband and wife bonded over their baby, Quinn pressing a hand over Rex’s as they tried to get their son to kick. They were obviously crazy about each other.
What would it feel like to have someone look at her that way? As if she was the most important thing in the world to him?
Didn’t matter, she reminded herself. After more than a decade of busting her ass, she was within arm’s reach of her dream. She wasn’t going to get distracted now with silly notions of romance. She needed to stay focused on what was important—getting these potential clients to love her and her food so she could make her dream a reality.
“I’ll take these away and get the desserts lined up. And by the way, I brought some carryout containers with me. I’ll pack the leftovers up so you can heat them up later if you’re hungry.”
“Did I hear leftovers?” a silky voice drawled.
Gigi set down the dishes on the countertop and turned to face the newcomer with a smile. Her smile froze in place as she tried to keep from keeling over. A towering Adonis with honey-blond curls had just stepped into the tiny kitchen of the tour bus.
“Howdy, ma’am. Beau Trudeau.” He stepped closer and held out his big hand.
She swallowed hard and tried to find her voice. “Gigi Somerville. Nice to meet you.” Her hand was dwarfed by his and she tried to ignore the sizzle that snaked up her arm at his touch.
“Gigi catered that benefit Rex and I went to last month with the amazing crab dip. She’s considering coming on the road with us for the next couple weeks so it’ll be easier for me to eat healthy while we do this last set of shows.”
“Like I told you before, I think it sounds like a great idea, darlin’. You need to take care of yourself and my little godson.”
He gazed at Quinn and Rex and for a second it seemed as if a dark cloud passed over his features before his face cleared and that infectious grin returned, dimple and all. “Besides, I assume I’ll reap the benefits? We’re a package deal, after all.” He aimed his smile at Gigi this time and her mouth went dry.
She wet her lips and his eyes followed the path of her tongue. Crap, what had she been about to say?
“Of course,” Quinn said. “She’d be cooking for all of us, both buses, crew included. Just dinners though, breakfast and lunch we’re on our own and we have to stay out of her way in the afternoons so she can get around the kitchen. You’re still cool with sharing the Man Bus? And…curtailing your activities for the next couple weeks?” She gave him a pointed look.
“I can handle anything for two weeks. Besides, maybe a break would be good. I could take up needlepoint or something.”
Gigi’s cheeks grew warm. As far as his “activities”, it didn’t take a genius to figure out they meant sex. She’d known the job would entail staying on a tour bus with some of the guys, but she hadn’t known one of them would look like this guy. Not that it would have made any difference. She had no choice but to take the job if they offered it.
Having a gorgeous, horny guy living next to her while she did it would just make things a little less relaxed. She’d manage.
Quinn and Rex exchanged a look. “We might as well make it official,” Quinn said. “Gigi, we don’t need to taste dessert to decide. We’d love you to be our chef for the next month, if you’ll have us. We’re a little rough around the edges, but I promise, you won’t find more appreciative customers. We love food and rarely get the home-cooked variety, so you’ll be treated like a queen here.”
Tears of joy and relief sprang to her eyes and she blinked them back. “I accept and I can’t wait to start. Shall we celebrate with some fresh berry tart?”
Everyone began chattering as she passed out the small dessert plates. This was it. The pay from this gig and the cache that came along with being the chef to a relatively high-profile client was exactly what she needed to start her business. Maybe Rex and Quinn would even like her enough to recommend her to others.
Now all she needed to do was not screw things up by drooling all over their band- mate. Piece of cake.
Beau kept his eyes trained on the new chef as she bustled around the kitchen passing out plates and making small talk. They’d called the crew in to help polish off the desserts and celebrate their upcoming fast-food moratorium. Everyone was in great spirits and he had to admit, as he forked up the last bite of banana cream pie, she was a damn good cook. For him to say so was something too. He’d grown up on his mama’s food and she was about the best cook he knew.
He briefly contemplated licking his plate, but reconsidered. She hadn’t gotten to the formality of signing the contract, better not to scare her away by acting like a Neanderthal. Yet.
He set his dish in the sink and leaned his back against the counter as he watched her work the crowded room. She was a bundle of energy, flitting this way and that, hell-bent on making sure everyone had enough of everything. A natural nurturer. His cock twitched as he wondered if that nurture carried over into the bedroom.
Not that she was his type at all. Her hair was a sort of nondescript light brown and sat in a haphazard pile on top of her head. A semi-frumpy figure was shrouded in a serviceable apron with little red cherries on it. Under that she wore baggy jeans and a blue polo shirt. If he had to put a name to the look, he would’ve dubbed it “Frazzled Soccer- Mom”.
Not that there was anything wrong with moms. Jesus, he only had to look at Quinn to remind himself of that fact. She looked beautiful in her little dress and the glow of pregnancy only made her look better. The purple lock of hair that usually hung over her eye was now black since she couldn’t dye it until the baby was born. It made her look softer somehow.
At that moment, she tossed her head back and laughed at something Rex said and Beau pinched his eyes closed to shut out the view. He was long past any romantic feelings for her, but something about seeing her and Rex together made him feel empty inside…as if he was missing something. Despite the revolving door of female companionship, he was never more aware of his dissatisfaction than when he looked at the two of them together.
They were happy, he reminded himself. And he was happy for them. No reason to be a hater.
He turned his attention back to Holly Hobby as she plucked a fat raspberry off one of the tarts and popped it into her mouth. It was the same color as her full lips and Beau had the sudden desire to see if those full lips would be as sweet. Must be thoughts of the impending dry spell getting to him.
Almost as if she read his thoughts, her gaze flickered to his. Her cheeks flushed and he grinned his easy, good-old-boy grin. She’d seemed nervous around him from the get-go. Was she just shy, or was she star-struck?
Either way, it was a welcome change from the usual aggressive style of the groupies he was used to. Who knew, maybe they could be friends? Might be nice to have a woman to talk to who wasn’t Quinn. Plus, a little flirting and maybe he could talk her into making some fried chicken and greens, bring a little of the South to the Man Bus.
“What’s my name, Skip or something? How come nobody told me about a party?”
Beau turned to face the newest member of their band. Up until last year, they’d managed as a three-piece, but with their popularity growing and their desire to make more layered, complex music, they’d taken the leap and gotten a bass player. Enter Tai Madsen. He was a great addition to the group and was slowly becoming part of the family. It was nice to have someone back in th
e Man Bus with him now that Rex had moved into Quinn’s bus. It wasn’t that he was lonely, there were too many people around for that. It was just nice to have someone to bullshit with after a gig again who didn’t want him to sign their tits.
The only thing about Tai was that he wasn’t down with the ladies all that much. Although the ladies were extremely down with him. With his dark good looks, he drew them in droves. That was fine with Beau, because he had more than he could handle now that Rex had defected. But in spite of numerous invitations, Tai had yet to hook up. He insisted he didn’t have a girlfriend back home, so Beau wasn’t sure what the problem was. Turning away women night after night took a kind of discipline he just couldn’t get his head around.
He held up a hand at Tai. “Don’t blame me. I didn’t know there was going to be food, I just got here.”
Quinn and Rex came over and brought Gigi with them. “Gigi’s our new chef. She’ll be bunking with you guys for the next couple weeks since my bus only has the one room. No worries, though, Beau’s going to take the couch,” Quinn said, then stuck her tongue out at Beau.
Two weeks on the couch for a good, home-cooked meal every night was a fair tradeoff so he nodded. “Can do.”
“Nice to meet you, Tai.” Gigi smiled and shook his hand, then immediately moved away to make him a plate.
Beau followed Gigi’s path with his gaze, compelled to watch her but clueless as to why.
“This is going to be interesting,” Tai predicted in the slow, thoughtful voice he used so often.
Beau couldn’t shake the feeling that Tai was right.
Chapter 2
Five days later, bags packed, Gigi waited for the bus to pick her up. The butterflies that had been camping out in her belly for the last few days kicked up a huge fuss as the behemoth vehicle came around the corner, right on time.
