"I wasn't going to put it that way."

Cameron shot me a wary glance as he snagged a new bottle of water from the fridge.For the first time since he'd entered the kitchen, Cameron's eyes left my face. He eyed me up and down, taking in my tight tank top and yoga pants slung low on my hips. His heated stare made my stomach clench.

The beginnings of desire made itself known between my legs. I fidgeted with the hem of my shirt. I wondered whether or not to broach the subject, but I had to get it out there.

"You never answered me, you know," I said nervously.

"About what?" He didn't take his eyes off my legs.

"Whether you were telling the truth when you said I was sexy."

Cameron's eyes shot up to mine. "You shouldn't ask me things like that."

"Why not?"

His gaze burned into me. "You really want to know why not?"

I swallowed hard. "Yes."

"'Cause when you say things like that, it makes me want to drag you off and do indecent things to you."

Heat pulsed through me, centering between my legs.

"So you weren't lying?"

"Angel, any man with eyes can see how fucking sexy you are."

A thrill ran up and down my spine.

Cameron Thorne just called me sexy.

"And that's why you flirted with me at the concert?" I asked.

"I told you." He ran a hand through his damp hair, looking chagrinned. "I thought you were just another fan."

I fisted the material of my shirt between my fingers in a nervous gesture. I gathered my courage.

"And now?" I asked.

Cameron gave me a careful look.

"And now, nothing. You're Noah's baby sister. As much as he and I like to give each other shit, I'd never betray his trust." He wandered to the fridge again and leaned over to stick his head inside, avoiding my eyes.

Disappointment welled up inside me. Of course it would be a betrayal of trust. Noah was counting on Cameron to watch out for me, not try to get me into bed.

God, the thought of what Noah would do if he found out Cameron had come on to me that first night at the concert…

The bassist would be lucky to escape with his life.

"Besides, I'd hate to have to find a new band," Cameron added.

"What do you mean?"

Cameron laughed. It wasn't a happy sound. It sounded vaguely sick. "You think your brother would let me stay in Darkest Days if he found out I hit on you?"

I grimaced. "Noah can't unilaterally kick you out."

"I'm not willing to test it."
