tell me to. Reach out.”

    “Because I want to give Ewan’s shirt to you.”
    “Oh. Okay,” she said as she felt around in front of her for the proffered clothing.
    Their hands met and she snatched the material from his grip quickly. She heard the unmistakable sound of his zipper opening and she silently prayed neither of her brothers came back until they’d safely made the switch.
    She hastily pulled her blouse over her head, struggling to put Ewan’s shirt on in the dark. She wasn’t sure when her hands started shaking. She tried to convince herself it was nerves and the chilly air in the small room. Her conscience refused to admit her sudden trembling could be based on any kind of misplaced desire for the arrogant rock star currently pushing all her buttons.
    “Here,” she said once she was decently covered. Ewan surpassed her in height the year he turned thirteen. His large shirt hung to nearly mid-thigh on her.
    Their hands met in the dark and she handed him her blouse and skirt. “I feel ridiculous,” she muttered.
    “I’m the one about to plunge into cross-dressing and you feel ridiculous?” She could tell he was joking and she wondered what sort of life he led that it didn’t bother him to wear women’s clothing merely to escape a few cameras.
    “You know, putting on a dress isn’t going to hide the fact that you’re a guy. Your face and hair will still show if anyone spots you.”
    “Which is why I asked Ewan for a scarf. Okay, I’m dressed,” he said after a few moments. “You decent?”
    “I guess so,” she said, not sure she wanted him to see her in just her brother’s T-shirt. She should have opted for the apron as well.
    He turned on the lights and for a second she was blinded by the sudden brightness.
    Then she could see all too clearly—and she burst into laughter.
    “Oh my God,” she gasped. Sky rolled his eyes at her response, but she could tell by his smile he didn’t mind her laughter.

    Her giggles died when he took two steps toward her. “What are you doing?” she asked.
    “You may find the image of me wearing your clothes funny, but seeing you in that T-shirt is seriously turning me on. Decided against the apron, eh?”
    “I thought this would be decent enough.”
    His eyes darkened seductively and she realized she’d been terribly wrong in that assumption. She sucked in a deep breath, startled when his gaze landed on her lips. She licked them, her mouth suddenly dry.
    “Do that again,” he whispered.
    “What?” she asked, her voice betraying her nervousness, her arousal.
    “Lick your lips.”
    “This is silly,” she protested, though her words were weak at best.
    “I’m going to kiss you, Teagan.”
    “I don’t kiss women,” she joked, trying to regain control of the moment.
    He grinned crookedly and she wondered if he could hear the unbearably loud pounding of her heart. He grasped her hand, dragging it along the front of her skirt, letting her feel the hardness of his cock buried beneath the flowing material. “Lucky for me I’m not a woman.”
    He bent forward, capturing her lips in a kiss. She was stunned by the gentleness, expecting him to simply step forward and capture, claim. He struck her as a man who took what he wanted, but this kiss felt more like a softly spoken request. He eased her into it, taking only what she was willing to give, slowly moving her down the path to more. His tongue prodded against her mouth and she parted her lips, welcoming him inside as she reached up to grip his shoulders. Her knees went weak and she found herself relying on his strength. His hands engulfed her waist and she moaned as his hard-on pushed against her stomach.

    How long they kissed, she couldn’t say, but she suspected Ewan had been clearing his throat for several moments before either of them realized he was in the closet.
    “There are so many things wrong with what I’m seeing right now,
