CHAPTER 21
‘As you touch me so sweetly and you whisper my name
I feel how you love me, we are the same
Stay with me beyond the end
I treasure you, you made me whole again…’
Lennon opened his eyes and looked at the watch near the bed, then toward the window. It was barely light outside. It was early, way too early… He sighed carefree, relaxed, then his lips curved in a smile, remembering the unique way he made love to Everly.
Last night had been everything he’d fantasized about the entire day and more. Better than all their other nights before that. Lennon closed his eyes, recalling her image while orgasming… After that night, he knew for sure she was his woman…
The love of his li

‘When you touch my weary headAnd you tell me everything will be all rightYou say, "Use my body for your bedAnd my love will keep you warm throughout the night"Well, I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be aloneWherever we're together, that's my home…’ Everly loved the way Lennon took care of her after the exceptionally passionate night they spent together, a night that brought them a lot closer. She rode with him to the venue and watched while he, Rosalee, Shane, and Jared went up on stage to do the sound check three hours before the show. She hadn’t realized he had such a big crew, working for the band. They had people running wires, checking mics, tuning guitars, and a whole lot more she didn’t even begin to understand. That day, during a couple of little breaks from the rehearsals, Everly caught Lennon staring straight at her a few times, with a serious look in his eyes, like he wanted to say something very important to her. But, other than th

‘We'll build, we will build a homeAnd we'll watch all the flowers growUntil our bones, until our bones can't holdAnd take my heart if yours don't beatTake my lungs if yours can't breatheAnd if you need, you can take my body…’ The narrow space smelled like paint and wood polish, and the steps creaked under her feet. The sound of the pounding rock music grew louder and louder as she climbed. At the top, it was almost deafening until she entered the private box where Daisy waited.“Hey there, sweetie!” Daisy almost yelled. Her legs were kicked up on the low wall of the box and she was looking at her phone as if she had little interest in the show below. It was ‘The Forbidden Magic’, Mick’s band. Their rock was harder than what ‘Infinite Euphoria’ played, and Everly didn’t like it at all.“Hey, Daisy. Have you got those headphones for me?”“Of course, Lyv.” Daisy handed them over, and Everly put them on. Not because she was feeling anxious but because sh

‘Well, you showed me how it feelsTo feel the sky within my reachAnd I always will remember all the strength you gave to meYour love made me make it throughOh, I owe so much to youYou were right there for me…’ Rosalee, Jared, and Shane were waiting in his dressing room. The rest of their crew had finished packing up the equipment, and they were gone. Really, the only ones likely to have many problems were himself and Everly. He’d been trying to decide for the last ten minutes, ever since he’d learned about the problem, how to get her out in the least stressful way. Part of him thought that if they split up, it might help, but Lennon wanted to make sure that if Everly had problems, he was there to help her.“So, have you got a plan yet?” Shane asked as he came in. Lennon leaned against the counter, pulling Everly against him with her back to his chest, maintaining contact between them to help both of them keep calm. He could feel her heart beating fas

‘If we're only here for a whileI wanna spend all of it holding you, Take me higher than I've beenMake me question everything I knew, Because nothing comes close to this, My heaven is on your lips…’ His fingers slipped between her legs and pushed inward as if testing her readiness. She was wet. She was definitely ready. She squirmed impatiently as his hand left her. Firm hands gripped her legs, spread her and then he thrust into her from behind. Everly moaned hard at the instant fullness. The pleasure of having him buried inside her body was indescribable. The tightness… The sensitivity… Her heart raced. Her blood pounded through her veins. Her sex pulsed and clenched around him. Every nerve ending was on fire, sizzling like the shortest of fuses. “Are you okay, angel?” Lennon murmured close to her ear. “Am I being too rough?” He’d gone completely still as he awaited her response. Her chest lurched and she closed her eyes, touched by the depth of

‘So, I look in your directionBut you pay me no attention, do you?I know you don't listen to mebecause you say you see straight through meDon't you?’“Honey, I’m home!” Daisy’s voice broke the deathly silence surrounding her. Everly pulled the covers over her head. She didn’t want to talk to anybody or see anybody or even remember there were other people in the world. Unfortunately, Daisy had other ideas… And Lennon, of course. He kept calling her. At some point, she was going to have to find the courage to talk to him, but not now... It was too soon and she was feeling too weak. And too ashamed. If only she’d listened to her gut on this one. Not to go to Boston. Not to go to bed with him. Not to fall in love with him. She’d known that getting involved with someone would be a stupid idea, as broken and flawed as she was. But she did it anyway. Daisy got into Everly’s bedroom. “There you are! I needed to make sure you were okay,” she said,

‘You're just like an angelYour skin makes me cryYou float like a featherIn a beautiful worldI wish I was specialYou're so freakin’ specialAnd I’m a creep…’ As soon as Lennon’s plane touched down, he called Daisy.“I’m here. Have you talked to her again? Will she agree to see me?”“‘Lenno, she isn’t answering any of my calls now either,’” Daisy said. “‘When I left her, she was calm, but maybe she was faking it… Maybe she was just trying to get rid of me. Oh, God… I think I pushed her too hard. What if…’”“Let’s not jump to what-ifs, Daisy. Listen, can you text me her address?”“‘Yes…You know, I’m not supposed to do this, but… I’m worried and, well… she’s crazy about you, Lenno… Scratch that… Lyv is desperately in love with you. She never meant to hurt you. She left because she was determined not to ruin your life…’”“Yeah… She told me as much in her note. I just hope I can convince her that breaking up is what will ruin it. Because I love her too and I can’t be without

‘There's a million different reasons why I love youAnd I'm sure that I could find a million moreThere's not a single thing that I would change about you,You're picture-perfect just the way you areSo show me every mark and every scar…’ When Everly heard Lennon’s wonderful voice through the door, she almost fainted with relief. She couldn’t answer with the gag in her mouth, so just like when Daisy had come, she kicked her legs against the wall of the shed to let him know she’d heard him. Everly heard Lennon and Daisy talking but couldn’t understand them. Focusing on breathing, she forced herself to calm down. They would get her out of here as soon as they could… Before she peed herself or got bitten by a spider. NO! She would not think about spiders again. The wispy crawling she’d felt across her legs a few times had not been spiders. From what she could tell by the dimming light through the one dust-covered window, Everly thought sh

‘And for so many years, I knew it would be you here with me, Take you for my wife, the center of my lifeAnd I will never ever fadeFrom this choice I've made…’ Married! She was finally Lennon’s wife! Everly opened her eyes and curled around Lennon’s long, lean body, her head pillowed by his chest. She was wrung out and exhausted, but incredibly happy. Their first night as husband and wife has been absolutely magical.“Married…” she whispered and smiled. Their wedding ceremony had been amazing. Everly sighed recalling how free and happy she felt on her wedding day, how glorious it was hearing Lennon saying ‘I Do’ while losing herself in his loving gaze. She could still recall her state of mind following the months of her brief kidnapping. Happy weeks… Terrifying weeks… They’d had to deal with the paparazzi way too much when the story of Everly’s kidnapping broke. Fortunately, Erik’s trial had been swift and decisive, so the clamor in the pres
