Heavy Metal Heart: A Bad Boy Rock Star Romance by Annette Fields Read Free Book Online Page A

vividly right up to the point of waking. A sex dream. A kinky sex dream. About Torsten. 
    God damn fucking Torsten.  Being wildly attracted to her worst enemy was nothing short of torturous. 
    With another groan, she dragged herself out of bed. It was going to be a long day. She showered, dressed, and ate breakfast all on autopilot. Coffee in hand, she settled in front of her laptop. 
    Half the day would be job searching. Her previous job had been financial reporting. That job kept Lars and herself afloat while he floundered early in his career. Somehow, she continued to support them after Mjolnir’s success took off like a rocket. Lars always claimed he had to pay off some debt or another. Soon after they separated, her firm fired her for missing too many days of work. Late night trips with Lars to the ER and lack of sleep caught up to her and cost her a dream job. At the time, she’d say it was worth it to keep her man from overdosing. But lately, she wasn’t so sure.  
    After the job search, she thoroughly researched Torsten. This time, she’d do her homework before trying to take him down at the second concert tonight. It would be her last chance and she had to make it count. 
    The hot coffee sliding past her lips reminded her of his tongue sneaking in, pouring his rough, demanding kisses into her mouth like nothing she felt before. 
    Her face grew warm from the memory, embarrassed at her own gullibility. Of course he kissed and touched her like he knew her body so well. He’d been with hundreds, probably thousands of other women. He also knew how to fake passion and chemistry to get what he wanted.
    I just need to get laid. Then maybe I’ll stop thinking about Torsten with my lizard brain.
    Digging up dirt on Torsten was nigh on impossible. He had no personal social media accounts, only the band pages managed by the PR team. The only articles were music related, nothing scandalous or deeply personal. 
    On her second cup of coffee, Helena scanned a recent article in which the interviewer did their best at digging, but kept hitting the Torsten Wall.

    Guitarist Magazine:  Mjolnir has risen to the top of the charts in relatively short time, three years! What do you think caused such rapid growth?
    Torsten Rask:  Well I demand a lot from myself and from my bandmates. We spend a lot of time perfecting the lyrics of each song as well as the sound. Nothing moves forward until each component fits perfectly. And then we rehearse until it’s second nature so that we know to give nothing less than a kickass live show. 
    GM: You sound like a tough boss. 
    TR:  (laughs) You could say that! 
    GM: You’re a local staple in Norway. Did you grow up there? What was young Torsten like?
    TR:  Yes, I was born and raised in Oslo. It’s my home and I love it. Our local fans beat all others. As for when I was young, I’ll say that part of my life has motivated me to pursue the success I have today.
    GM:  Did you parents encourage you to pursue music? 
    TR:  You would have to ask them. I didn’t have lessons or anything. I’m self-taught. 
    GM:  Fair enough. What are you doing when you’re not working? 
    TR:  (laughs) A man like me is never not working! 
    GM:  Humor me!
    TR: Well, my job is my lover, but she allows me to love others sometimes! (laughs) 
    GM:  So you partake in the rock and roll lifestyle?
    TR:  I don’t fuck and tell (laughs) but I am pretty straight edge as far as drugs go. I like my drinks and my smokes but I like to keep my head clear. I have no desire to go out in a blaze of glory while I’m still young. 
    GM:  How long do you see yourself as a musician? 
    TR:  I always want to be making music. You know, I don’t think I’ve ever made love to a woman. I’ve always fucked . But to me, making music is the closest thing to making love. And I want to do that for as long as I’m able.

    Helena sighed and shut her laptop with a frustrated slam. Torsten’s arrogance came through on
