following him— “ Your urges like I can.”
    He rolled his hips in a move that made Lila’s pulse race. He was sexual temptation personified.
    “Fill me and make me yours.” Bella added her voice as the lights included her. She slid her hand into Driscoll’s and he pulled her into him. Bella lifted her leg and the spilt of her dress showcased her calf as she placed it around Driscoll’s upper thigh. They swayed in place, looking into each other’s eyes and singing.
    Lila sat forward, captured by their chemistry and the familiarity as they moved together like lovers.
    “I wonder if they were ever actually lovers,” Aja whispered.
    “No,” Lila said as a man with a deep voice did the same behind her. She looked to her left at Morgan who had a smile on his lips.
    “How’d you know they weren’t? Did Driscoll tell you?”
    Bella and Driscoll continued to perform and she absently listened to them as she talked with Morgan.
    “No he didn’t. He as well as she has denied it in the media.” Lila shrugged. “They would have lost nothing to admit it if they had. People love the idea of them together and if they had said they did, it might have increased their sales. So why deny it? I think they did because it was not true.”
    “Yes. You thought about it different than I did.” He smiled wryly. “I believed what the media and fans said.”
    “Can’t believe everything you read in the media.”
    “I know that now,” Morgan said.
    “How long have you and Bella been dating?” Lila leaned closer to ask.
    “A few months until I was an ass.” He smiled again, but there was regret in it. “But she took me back. How about you and Driscoll?”
    “We only had one official date.”
    “Really,” Morgan muttered. “I better get that other T-shirt made up.”
    “What other T-shirt?”
    “Just a shirt that is an opposite to something Driscoll said about love.”
    When he didn’t say anything further, Lila, curious about what it was, opened her mouth to ask.
    “Look at me.”
    The intensity of Driscoll’s words made Lila’s head snap around. She gulped as she saw he was staring at her while dancing and singing with Bella.
    “See me laid bare for you to take.” Driscoll kept his gaze locked on hers as he rolled his body against Bella’s.
    Lila swallowed, her mouth suddenly dry. He continued performing yet kept her in his sights. When the song was complete, he finally looked away. Lila put her hand over her chest and blew out a breath.
    “Intense,” Aja said hoarsely. “You lucky heifer.” She pushed at her arm. “You’re actually dating him.”
    “Yeah,” was all Lila could say.
    As the concert continued, she was captured often in his gaze. Lila smiled, knowing he was seducing her sexually but also in her mind. The lyrics of the songs were powerful as well as thought-provoking. With the group around her and the audience, Lila stood screaming as they performed. Bella sang solo many times and Driscoll did too. She yelled the lyrics along with them, knowing their songs. Lila danced by her seat, laughing as Aja and the others around her also grooved. On the stage, Bella and Driscoll were again together as they slid against each other.
    “Live for me, my prince. Feel for your diva lover.” Bella stroked her hand down the side of his face.
    “Together we are stronger.” Driscoll leaned close until he almost kissed her while they sang together, blending their voices in melody.
    They were locked in each other’s gaze then suddenly they turned and looked out at the audience.
    “My diva lover and her prince.”
    Driscoll glanced at Lila and winked. She blew him a kiss before chuckling. The lights went down and the stage went dark. The sounds of drums kept playing and Lila was impressed as she usually was with Stuart’s talent.
    The lights came up slowly and the stage was empty except for Stuart on the drums. The mayor walked onto the stage. Lila glanced toward his chair—she hadn’t seen him leave. She
