Jude walked in, looking more handsome than when he’d left. It was some kind of superpower that should be studied by scientists.

“Miss me, Trouble?” He set a small amp on the floor, then rested his guitar case against the wall.

My brain told me to play it cool. But I was in no emotional state to pretend.

“Yes.” I strode across the room and planted a big kiss right on his lips. “I missed you a lot.”

He smiled down at me, his expression a perfect mix of surprise and delight. “I missed you too. I felt guilty about going out to play without you, so I thought I might put on a little show for you here. How does that sound?”

Stunned, I stumbled back a step, nodding a little too vigorously.

“Gimme a minute.”

He came back a few minutes later with a stool and one of the acoustic guitars he kept on a stand in the spare bedroom. As he settled in front of the fireplace, he gave me a shy smile.

“Sit down,” he said, lowering his head and plucking a string, tuning the instrument.

The sight of him, perched on his stool, one of his long legs extended while he bit his lip and adjusted the frets, made it impossible not to swoon.

Or maybe it was the jeans, light-washed and broken in, hugging the curves of his muscular thighs. Or the maroon T-shirt that hid nothing. Whatever it was, it made me lightheaded despite the ungodly number of almonds I’d consumed earlier.

“Any requests?” His eyes sparkled, reminiscent of the way he’d looked that night on stage when I’d come home with him. The easy posture, the quiet confidence.

“Your favorites.”

With a nod, he tapped one foot, then played the opening chords to “Blackbird” by the Beatles. And when he opened his mouth and the lyrics came out? A host of tingles swept through me. Holy shit. He could sing.
