Prologue This is my first trip back to the U.S. since getting my dream job . I have a couple of days to catch up with my friends and relax before I have to head back to Paris and the first thing I did was get a front - row ticket to the Strikers tour to see Toxic Rose Thorns - my favorite band of all time . It's not the first time I see them . I went a few times before they blew up when I was in college . This is my first time seeing them this close and I am excited . The tickets had been sold out for weeks but my super , amazingly beautiful , cutthroat boss pulled some strings to help me get a ticket . It was probably the very last one of its kind and here I am . Inches away from kissing the damn stage anxiously excited and waiting for this crappy opening band to get done . That's not fair . They're actually not that bad . I glance back to see that the arena is most definitely sold out . The sea of people are watching the show , dancing , and moshing to the sweet screeching of the second band playing . I take a couple of pictures and make sure to get the name on the banner so that I can check out their music with a little less chaos later . This is the first show I come to alone , but I don't feel alone . The swarm of people in the pit is energetic . None of us are strangers at the moment . We're all the best of friends as we wait for our favorite band to come out and bless us with their metalcore glory . " I love your outfit ! " one of the girls leaning on the rails catches my attention . " Where did you get it ? " " I made it ," I laugh . " I love your T - shirt . I have one from their first show at the House of Blues , " " Yes ! " she wraps her arms around me . " Did you go ? " " Yeah , it was my twenty - first birthday , " I nod . " Oh , my god . I was there too . With my Ex ," she rolls her eyes . " He's the one that introduced me to this , " " That's crazy . My Ex introduced me too , " I laugh . " His name wasn't Connor was it ? " " No ," I shake my head . " His name was Jose , " Ugh , " we both laugh . " This is my friend Naty . I'm Jesse , " " Phoebe , " I shake their hands . " I've never met a Phoebe before , " her friend screams . " We have to take a picture , " " Okay , " I laugh . " TRT on three ," she shouts holding her phone up . " One . Two . Three ! " 1/6 Proloque The three of us shout TRT and she snaps four or five pictures at once . " What's your Quick Howl ? " Jesse asks . " CT_OFPhoebs98 ," I say and she types it into her phone . She looks up at me confused . " This is you ? " she asks holding her phone up . " Yeah , " " You're verified . You have four million followers , " " I work for Royal Threads . I'm a designer ," I laugh . They both scream . tv screams . " I " Oh , my god ! I love their new pink Academia collection . Holy shit , " Naty work for Gossip Daily . I'm a reporter , " " I'm in the music industry , " Jesse says . My phone buzzes in my pocket . I see that the two of them are now following me and that they've tagged me in a picture . The sound of Knightly Blake's guitar blasts from the speakers and our conversation is instantly forgotten . The crowd - erupts into screams as the curtain is raised to reveal the black lights and purple lasers . My heart skips when he stops at the edge of the stage with his favorite baby blue guitar right in front of us . My scream is stuck in my throat as he leans forward to speak into the mic . The entire show goes on in a blur of screaming and singing along . It ends way too soon leaving my body buzzing and wanting more . By the time I got back to my rental , I - remembered that I had spoken to those girls and laugh at myself because I didn't even get their numbers . I sit here for a bit and then wait to get out of the crowded parking lot . I stop to get some tacos and drinks before heading back to the BnB I'll be staying in until the end of the month before I get back to work . Coincidentally , it wasn't too far from the venue . I probably would have walked if I wasn't a complete chicken and kind of afraid of the dark . It took me a lot longer to get here than I expected . I grab my food and my new TRT merch to head up . As I'm rounding the lobby to get to the elevators someone smacks right into me . I drop some of my things but not my food . " Yes , I didn't drop my tacos ," laugh and reach down to grab the sweater on the floor . " I am so sorry , " the guy says and reaches for my things . " I was on my phone , " " It's okay . It happens ," I say We both look up at the same time and I freeze . My stupid mouth falls open when my With his adpar gaze clashes wit wot the sweater and the vinyl . No network available now . Please check your network . " No , " he laughs . " Are you just getting back from my show ? " I open my mouth and all that comes out is a squeak . That's Knightly fucking Blake . I Profeque touched his boots on stage earlier tonight . That's how close I was to him and now he's kneeling in front of me holding my stuff . " Are you still breathing ? " he waves his hand in my face . " Holy fuck . Dude ! You're Knightly Blake ," bursts out of my mouth loud enough for it to echo in the lobby's high ceilings . " You're lucky there's not one here , " he laughs . " Are you okay ? " " Yeah , I didn't drop my tacos , " I say and let him help me stand up . " We wouldn't want that , " he says putting my things together . " I am so sorry . I didn't mean to scream in your face like that , " I apologize . " It happens , " he grins looking me over . " Where did you get my suit from last year's tour ? " " I made it . It's been my favorite costume since the suspenders . Um , I don't think I would been allowed into the venue if I had showed up in that , " why did I say that ? What the fuck is wrong with me ? " That's too bad . I bet you'd look amazing in it , " he one - shoulder shrugs . I burst into laughter . " That was kind of cringe , I admit . " Why are you so red? " he laughs . " I just got hit on by Knightly Blake ," I shake my head in disbelief . " Would it be weird if L asked for a picture ?" " Not at all , " he presses his lips together . Is he blushing ? Get the fuck out of here . I quickly set my things down and take my phone out of my back pocket . " I am red , " I laugh holding up my phone . " It's cool . I'll edit it later . Ready ? " " Waiting on you , " he grins . I snap our picture and show him . " That's a good one . Be sure to tag me in that , " " Okay , " I agree and look up at him . He towers over me by at least six inches without my usual stilettos . He makes me feel small and I am not a small person . " You and your friends were standing up front tonight . I almost stepped on your hand , " he looks down at my things " You saw that ? I would have been honored to have been stepped on by you ," what the fuck ? " Is that right ? " he laughs and I feel my face heat up even more . " There now we both said something stupid , " I try to hide my embarrassment . We both laugh . " You're not stalking us are you ? " he asks . 3/6 Prologue " No , I'm staying here , " I shake my head and bend down to pick my things up again . He helps me and hands everything back . The elevator pings open and an old couple walks out with their little ugly dog . We both get into the elevator . I reach for the buttons at the same time he does and we both click the fourth floor . " You gotta be fucking kidding me , " That is exactly what I was thinking , " he laughs and turns his head slightly to look at me . We're about half an inch away from each other . " You're not going to hit me if I kiss , are you ? " " My hands are full ," I remind him . " Right . You don't want to drop your tacos , " he says . I step back until my back hits the mirrored wall behind me and suddenly his lips are on mine . My first instinct is to run . It usually is , but when he steps closer burying his hand in my hair . I have no choice but to give in . He feels it the moment I do because his tongue sweeps my lips and I don't hesitate to let him take control of it . My skin comes alive when he touches me . The elevator pings and he pulls away without letting go of me . " Oh , my god , " I squeak making him grin . " I'm sharing a room with two others , " There's no one at my place , " I say without hesitation . " Lead the way , " he takes a step back . My ears ring as I step out of the elevator . I glance back at him to make sure this is real . Am I really going to do this ? I can think of several reasons why I shouldn't and almost all of them end up with me dead and or kidnapped . I stop in front of my door . " My card is in my back pocket , " I say . The sly grin that crosses his face is enough to say fuck it . If this is the hill I die on , this is where it ends . His fingertips trail up the back of my thigh before he reaches into my pocket and slips out the key card . His eyes meet mine and he holds my stare as he swipes it through the reader . " There you go ," he says lowly . I lick my lips tasting his minty sweetness . " Thank you , I fight the urge to laugh again because why the fuck did I just thank him ? We walk inside and I immediately go over to the dining table to set everything down . " There's a mess . I'm here for work , " " You're an artist ? " he asks looking over my sketches and open portfolios . " I'm a clothes designer , " I say reaching for the Redd's Apple Ale I got earlier . " Would you like a drink ? ", " Sure , " he says coming over to me . I slide the box over to him and he takes one . He doesn't even look at what it is l provided for him . We both open the bottle and take a drink completely in sync . This is 74/6 Prologue a dream . It has to be . His was more of a sip . He sets it down and reaches for my waist . When he positions himself in front of me he takes the bottle out of my hand . " I've never done this , " I admit . " You're a virgin ? " he searches my face . " No , no . I mean the one - night stand thing ." I laugh nervously . " I'll guide you through it , " I gasp when his fingers dig into my thighs and then he lifts me onto the table . His mouth is on me again and this time , I have nothing in my hands to stop me from touching him . Holy shit ! This is happening to me right now . My hands are all over him and if he has a problem with it , he doesn't complain . His body is firm but not in a crazy buff kind of way . My shirt goes first and then my bra . His teeth graze my neck as he gently pushes me back to get to my bare breasts . The sound that comes out of me makes him grin as he bites down on the outside of my boob . The sting only serves to wake me up more . I pull his shirt over his head and toss it . There is ink all over the place . I know some of these from when I was younger and had nothing better to do than obsess over him and the other members of the band . I can't believe I'm seeing them up close and personal . I touch them , trace them up his arm and onto his neck as hetinues to palm my breasts and bite on them . " Fuck , you're beautiful ," he says unbuttoning my jeans . He lifts me a little to pull them down my thighs . He sets me down and takes them off along with my boots . " You wore this to see me perform tonight ?" I can't bring myself to say anything so I just nod . " These are not good girl panties ," " You don't get to decide that , " I laugh " But you can take them off , " " I much rather leave them where they are ," he grins . " Lay back on the table , " His hand presses down on my belly and I do as he asks . He smiles and tugs the fabric of my thong to the side . His fingers gently caress me . I squeak again when he rubs me in a circular motion . I lay back on the table when he slips his middle finger inside of me . " That's it , " he praises . " Relax for me ," " My name is Pheobe , " I inform him . " It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance , Pheobe , he grins looking up at me . " You can call me Knight , " " Okay , " I lay back . " Knight , " He slips his finger out of me , tucking his hands under me to lift me off the table . He buries his face between my legs and all I can do is hold on for dear life . Just like the show , everything happens in a blur . 5/6 Profcour It happens here on the table with my legs wrapped around him as our tongues get more than a little acquainted with one another . He starts off slow and I'm grateful for it because just like the rest of him . Knightly Blake is blessed by all the fucking gods in the universe . It's honestly not fair to any man on this earth . The next thing I know , I bent over the table with his hand coming down on my ass making loud slaps while he keeps praising me and calling me his good girl . We stumble into the living room where he curls me up on the couch to successfully trap me under him in every position he can think of . I didn't know I could bend in some of the positions he put me in . We end up in the shower and finally spend the rest of the night in the room until I fall asleep . I am deliciously sore all over when I wake up the next morning . He's nowhere in sight and at the moment , I think it's for the best . I get up and find the vinyl I bought last night on the kitchen counter . It's signed by every member of the band and at the bottom where his signature is in silver marker reads . Don't worry Pheobe . To me , you're always going to be my good girl . Our little secret . Knight . Thinking back on that night , despite how everything turned out in the end , I'll never bring myself to regret the choice I made . Before then , my life had been empty and he gave me the greatest gift I could have ever asked for . Well , gifts . Two of them with the same pretty jade green eyes . Aizen and Ayrie . The two little whoopsies I discovered growing inside of me in Paris , two months later . Gone was the reckless little girl I was after freeing myself from my father's clutches . Things became clearer . The goal wasn't to prove to my dad that I could more than make it out on my own without him . It was all for them . They really put things into perspective for me and it was all because of that night . I didn't think he'd be who hel became as he was when he found out he was a father and that I never had the intention of ever letting him know , Fate somehow favored me and I will forever be grateful for KNIGHTLY , 回 Subscribe 5 Likes 6/6
