Backstage Pass
““Stay or go?” Jesse murmured against my ear.
Kerri mouthed, “What should I do?”
I sighed. “I need to face him sometime.”
“You need rest,” Jesse said in his best do-me voice. The low timbre thrummed from his chest to mine.
What I needed was some time without Jesse touching me so I could figure out why my heart sped up when his breath tickled my ear.
Axel knocked again.
“Hang on!” I yelled, committing me. I looked at Kerri and jerked my head toward the door. “Go ahead.”
Her gaze flickered to Jesse’s.
“Help me get my crutches.” I wiggled to get down but Jesse held fast.
Kerri opened the door and Axel rushed in, then jerked to a stop. “Oh.” He glanced from Jesse to Kerri and back to me. “I thought you were here by yourself tonight.” Flowers drooped from his hand, limp at his side.
