"I'm astounded at your restraint." I traced the lines of his chest through his t-shirt. We hadn't even stripped down completely in our haste.

"What was that thing you wanted to show me?"

"How about I show you tonight? We're doing a small concert. I can show you, and then we can tell Noah."

Clearly that was still weighing on him.

"We'll have the rest of the band around us." Cameron smirked. "He can't kick my ass if we're supposed to go on stage right after."

I paused. I wasn't so sure about that. Tonight was so soon. I'd been hoping to have more time.

I nodded slowly. "We'll tell him tonight before the concert."

Cameron placed a soft kiss on my mouth. "No more secrets. We'll tell him we're dating and that we're going to be living together."

"Right," I said hesitantly. "No more secrets."

Chapter Thirty

The club venueDarkest Days was playing at looked only slightly bigger than the club Jen had booked for my welcome home party.

"It's a special VIP event to help promote the new album," Cameron explained. "Exclusive tickets were only sold to super fans. Management wanted to keep it low key for now, since the album still isn't released. We're going to be playing a few new songs."

"Aren't you worried people will take video and leak it?"

"That's the whole point. We want to hype people up."

"So it's all sneaky marketing."

"That's how the game is played, Angel. I'm just happy it's not me who has to worry about all that shit. All I need to do is show up and play."

Cameron led me to the back entrance of the club, away from all the fans lining up.

"Don't want to cause a stampede by just walking in the front doors," he said.

We passed by a bouncer, who nodded to Cameron in greeting and opened the door for us. It was much easier getting into the concert with a rock star by my side.

The moment we entered the club, butterflies took wing in my stomach.

This was it. I was going to tell my brother about me and Cameron.

"Hey, you okay?"

Cameron gave me a squeeze with his arm around my waist. He must have sensed how nervous I was.

"I'm okay," I said through a tight throat. My breathing was speeding up. It wasn't like my usual panic attacks. It was nothing that bad.

But I was definitely feeling anxious over the thought of confronting Noah with the truth.

"However he reacts, we'll deal with it," Cameron reassured me. His thumb brushed the hollow of my hip. "We'll make him understand."

"Even if he tries to murder you in public?" I asked, only half joking.

Cameron frowned. "I'm not going to let him get in the way of us being together."

The possessive tone in his voice chased away some of the butterflies, leaving only a gooey, sappy feeling in my chest. Cameron was determined to fight for us.

I wanted to be just as determined. I really did.
