Hot Southern Mess (Hide Your Crazy) by T.A. Hardenbrook Read Free Book Online Page B

making a couple phone calls with some venue s from my desk when I watched the band stroll into Stephanie’s office. Every part of my body took notice to having Reid in the next room, and once again it waged a battle with my mind. This man had some sort of weird pull on my body. My mind knew he was a total douche canoe, but it didn’t stop my nibbly bits from getting all hot and bothered. One could claim this attraction was like touching a hot stove when you were a little kid. Even though your parents told you it was hot, and you would get burned if you touched the burner, you still did it. I knew this man was trouble, but my body still said go for it. Open your legs and let this man give you the release you’re craving. All the time my mind was screaming, don’t do it. Fuck the burn; I could slap some cream on it later.
    Stephanie tapped the glass between us and motioned for me to come on over. Oh no big deal, just come over and meet the guys of a band you have only loved for quite some time. Really, no biggie.
     
    My palms were sweaty as I stood to walk into the room. Quickly, I wiped them off on the back of my jeans. I’ve never been a woman who was vain about her appearance, but fuck I wish I had a mirror right now.
    “Well , if it isn’t ass girl; I can see you changed from last night,” the base player, Brody, snickered, recalling our run in last night.
    I bit my bottom lip to resist the urge to flip him the bird, jerk face.
    “Ass? Pants? Do I really want to know? Actually, scratch that. I don’t care. Boys, this is Molly Mcglenister; my new PA, and your new warden. Molly; this is Brody, Tysen, Ryder, and Reid.”
    I offered the men a sweet smile , and caught a smirk Reid tried to hide. This was going to be interesting to say the least.
    “Now gentleman, you know I can’t be on the road with you twenty-four-seven, so Molly is my stand in. You will treat her with respect, and please don’t run this one off,” Stephanie threatened, looking directly at Brody.
    All of these men were good looking. It must be a requirement to be in a band, because, I swear, not a single one of them had an encounter with an ugly stick.
    “So I can bend her over this desk like I did to you?” Brody said with a sly grin, just waiting for my reaction.
    “You could, but then it would be rape,” I snaked back at the cocky man. Really, w ere they all full of themselves? A collective chuckle came from the other three band members as Brody licked his lips. I narrowed my eyes at the man; it wasn’t a challenge he was going to win.
    “You never bent me over this desk , Brody, now shut up so we can get down to business,” Stephanie snapped, pulling out a folder and passing it around to the guys. I snuck around Tysen and Reid to stand behind Stephanie’s desk, casually leaning against the glass. The cold temperature felt energizing against my bare skin as I watched the interaction with the group.
    Even if they were a multi-platinum selling band, they were just your average male pigs. Reid got most of the women, and rightly so for being the front runner. Brody was your stereotypical rock star; loud and obnoxious. And, Tysen and Ryder seemed more in focus of what was going on. Or, I could be totally wrong on all those assumptions since I’d been wrong oh so many times before.
    “ Your  bus is leaving Friday Night at nine, since it’s around an eight hour drive to Boise. Molly is going to make sure you all get on the bus fine, and I’ll meet you later Saturday afternoon before sound check.”
    “Does this mean she is riding with us? You can share my bunk with me , Molly, but I can’t help it if the beast makes an appearance,” Brody once again snickered.
    “Knock it off; I can’t afford her to quit or file a sexual harassment lawsuit on your ass right now. Besides, she is riding on the crew bus,” Stephanie warned, looking back at me and offering a small apologetic smile.
    I let my eyes wander over to Reid’s chair, knowing
