“Just you wait,” Juliet sort-of teased. Her tone was light, but Darcy could tell she wasn’t totally joking. “I’m telling you. If you ever experience somethingwild, it will be on tour.”
Juliet took a deep breath as she stood from her chair and swiftly turned and lowered herself onto Darcy’s lap, eyes boring into hers.
“If youdoever find someone in your room, feel free to – in your words – knock them on their ass,” Juliet stated, firmly. “We will deal with the PR later.”
She lifted her eyebrows in surprise. “Deal with the PR later? That’s interesting coming from you. Especially since…” She slid both of her hands up over Juliet’s thighs, then around to clasp behind her back, pulling them even closer together. “You’re the only person who’s ever done such a thing.”
“Your safety is no joke.” Juliet reached out, tunneling her hands into Darcy’s hair, angling her head up. “And if you feel the need to knock me on my ass, then…”
Darcy hummed in pretend thought, sliding her hands down to cup Juliet’s aforementioned ass. God, it felt sogoodto touch her. “I’m sure we will figure out something.”

Hi Lucía,
Hope all is well.
I need you to make Angie Kincaid (The Buzz+more info in the attached document) go back to whatever hole she crawled out of, by any means necessary.
I’m available any time this afternoon to hop on a call.
Thanks,
Juliet
Chapter Thirty-Three
Later that night,after she’d collapsed next to Juliet in her hotel bed, she was completely drained.
She’d given everything she could to her show. And… admittedly, had wanted it to be her best, because Juliet had been watching.
And now, she’d given everything she possibly could, physically, to Juliet. Every ounce of energy, every scrap of emotion and missing her and craving that she’d experienced since the last time they’d been together, she’d poured it into the way she’d touched Juliet, into making her come as hard and as much as she could, before Juliet had completely tapped out.
After a day like today,drainedwas a very good feeling.
Especially when it was accompanied by Juliet’s lips placing kisses up the side of her neck, brushing her hair out of her way as she went. “You wereamazingtonight, you know,” Juliet murmured against her skin.
A wide smile split across her face.
Juliet popped her head up, teasingly shaking her head down at Darcy. “Your tour has been extremely well-received. You’re out here stealing hearts and minds, Thief.”
“But it counts the most if it’s yours.” She hadn’t realized she’d said the words aloud until they were already out of her mouth, but she stood by them.
Even if her stomach flip-flopped upside down with the way a slow, satisfied smile slid into place on Juliet’s face.
“If my fifth album flops, I’ll consider a career as a critic.” Juliet’s voice was light and a little glib, but the pleased flush on her cheeks was very real.
Darcy rolled onto her back, shaking her head against the pillow. “You’re welcome for the inspiration.”
A jaw-cracking yawn escaped her right as she finished talking. Truly drained. Like she could melt right into the mattress, especially with Juliet’s warmth right next to her.
Unfortunately for her, Juliet sat up and slid off the bed, disrupting the pleasant warmth that was starting to lull her to sleep.
Darcy pushed herself up, frowning as Juliet quickly walked across the room. “Where are you going?”
