Behind the Mask: A Rockstar Romance(66)



“It was the only thing I knew. As long as I had my sister by my side I was happy. She protected me. I remember when I was twelve and she got me a disc-man. She found some CD’s and we would listen to different kinds of music. We’ve both loved music ever since. I love how each song, each melody, can be different. Mean different things. I wanted so many different options of music growing up, I wanted rock, pop, jazz, anything but I knew I couldn’t,” I sigh. “After she left, I felt like my parents knew I was it. They had to force me to do better. Be better. Be the person they wanted me to be. But all they did was make me feel more trapped. When I got the chance to leave, I did. I want to experience life before I can’t anymore.” I feel tears prickle behind my eyes.

“What do you mean before you can’t?” he asks.

“Sky? You want to take a tour to the mall? We can get some new clothes?” Lake interrupts us. With the sadness I see in her eyes, I know she heard me.

“Sounds great. Let me go get my shoes.” I smile at Leon before I head up the stairs.

I am in my own world, thinking of my past, when I hear grunting down the hall. My defences go on alert. I know Dominic came up here with that girl, but is she hurting him? What if he’s hurt? I hear the noises again. Should I yell for help? Should I get my sister? I open his door a little to make sure he’s okay, but what I see will haunt me forever.

Dominic is standing near the edge of the bed and the woman he left with is on her knees. His jeans are around his ankles; his shirt is off. I look at his broad chest and shoulders; his toned stomach. My eyes trail down even more to the fine hairs that lead further down. It’s what she is doing that makes my whole body heat up. Her mouth is around his erection, her hands on his sack, and his head is thrown back in passion.

Oh my God.

She is giving him a blow job.

I need to leave. I take a step back to do so but, like he can sense that I’m there, his eyes open and land directly on mine. I feel like I’m in a trance as our gazes stay locked together. The girl groans and Dominic squeezes his eyes shut as he growls. It’s a very animalistic sound. With the connection finally broken, I run away, going to my room and grabbing my shoes before running back down the stairs.

My heart is beating a million times a second and I am sure I look like a tomato. I go to the fridge and grab a bottle of water, chugging down most of it. Why did I have to be so nosey? Why couldn’t I have just gone straight to my room? They do say ignorance is bliss.

You thought he was hurt. You were trying to be there for him, my head tries to console me.

I lean against the counter, trying to get my head on straight. What if he tells Lake that I perved in on them? I groan into my hands as I feel the embarrassment come back. Hopefully he’s just as embarrassed as I am.

He didn’t look embarrassed. He kept his eyes on yours.

“You ready?” I jump at hearing Lake’s voice.

“Sorry, you scared me. Yeah I’m ready,” I respond quickly, bending down to put on my shoes.

“You okay?”

“Yeah. Just excited to spend some time with you.” Plus, I just walked in on my new roommate getting a blow job.



“Come on, you have to get it; it looks amazing on you.” I’m standing in front of a mirror wearing a blue, strapless dress that stops just above my knee.

I have never worn anything so revealing. I look at myself and am shocked at what I’m seeing. The material clings to me, and I hate how skinny I look compared to Lake, who is wearing a red dress that shows off curves in places I don’t have. I look like a pole compared to her.

“I like it, but I think it would look better on you. I look too skinny in it.” I go back into the dressing room and put my blouse and skirt back on.

“Hey, you look beautiful. You have a great ass. Mom starved us, so after a few more of my meals you’re going to fill out a bit more, trust me. Remember, I’ve been there. I was stick thin when I left home. Now? Now I love my body. If anyone doesn’t like it, tough shit. As long as I’m happy, that’s all that matters. You will love your body, and soon you will want to show it off,” she says in the next dressing room. I can’t remember what her body was like before she left, it was that long ago. I never paid attention but Mom made her eat like a rabbit too, so maybe she’s right. Well on the filling out part, not the showing it off part.

“I’m going to buy these cardigans though,” I say, changing the subject. The cardigans I have chosen are red, black, and blue. They’re a very thin material and are long enough to cover my ass.

“They did look cute on you. Get the jeans too. They made your ass look amazing. I wish I had your ass,” she sighs. I pull open the curtain and Lake is standing there with piles of clothes over her arm.

“What’s wrong with your ass?” I look at her body. She is perfect.

“I wish it was bigger. The weight I gained went to all the right places except there. You’ve always had a great ass.” I scoff at the idea. I can’t believe we are in the middle of a store talking about our asses.

We go to check out and Lake offers to treat me to the clothes. After, we go to a nearby diner and order cheeseburgers and shakes. I can’t help but moan when I take my first bite. If anything, I’m not going to forget these amazing tastes. I feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven.
