LUNA
" No," I say again, my voice steady as a rock. "We're not rescheduling. No way we're letting those assholes ruin this for us, or for our fans."
“Baby girl, we need to get your hand looked at. You can’t perform like that.” The dull aching pain in my hand returns at his words. I glance down quickly, seeing how red and swollen my hands are. Fuck this, no fucking way. I shake my head, forcing the pain backwards in my mind.
"You can," I whisper. "Play for me, baby, please? Don't let her steal this from us. I swear I'll see someone right after. Mac, just ask the medic to wait, yeah?" I'm not above begging at this point.
"Anything for you, Luna, darling," Mac says with a sarcastic bow. His subtle wink helps ease some of the tension in my body. I look between my two men, grinning like an idiot.
“Let’s show them who we are,” I say, nodding to the stage before moving slowly towards it. When I feel them at my sides I take a deep breath. If we can get through this, then anything is possible.
As we step out onto the stage, the crowd's roar hits us like a tidal wave. It's a rush of pure energy and excitement. I grab a new mic, my heart pounding so hard I swear the front row can see it. I look out at the sea of faces, all those eyes locked on us, and I feel the adrenaline surge through my veins.
"You ready to forget all the bullshit and just dance?" I yell to the crowd. They roar back, their energy feeding our own. I lock eyes with Sebastian, and he moves in close, cupping my cheek and tilting my face up. His nose nudges mine softly before his lips meet mine in a gentle kiss. When he pulls away, I'm breathless and grinning like a fool. The crowd goes even wilder, if that's possible. "Let's have some fun," I whisper, letting him go before turning to find Xavier's open arms waiting for me.
I laugh out loud, taking two steps and launching myself at him. He hauls me against his chest, flashing that smile I love—the one that promises tomorrow and forever. When his lips find mine, I can't tell if the roaring in my ears is the crowd or just my own pulse. As my feet hit the ground, the house lights black out and our music starts to fill the air.
The tension builds as I move between Xavier and Sebastian, adrenaline pumping so hard I can’t stand still. Watching my men in their element is something I’ve taken for granted the past few months as I had them to myself. Seeing them in front of a crowd, drawing them in, up and out is… Well, it’s fucking hot. I cannot keep my eyes off them, watching perspiration grow on their brows from their movements and hot stage lights.
As we tumble over that first soft peak, the crowd’s response is wild and untamed. Bodies are moving everywhere, side to side, up and down. The song continues to build again towards its final climax. I make my way towards the front of the stage, climbing on the platform right over the deck where Sebastian and Xavier play at my feet. I look out over the crowd, seeing their faces, their eyes shining with joy. I raise my arms above my head, letting the music flow through me, letting it carry me higher and higher along with our music.
We're seconds away from hitting that peak when I feel Sebastian at my side, spinning me out and back into him. He pulls my injured hand to his lips for a quick kiss before yanking me in tight for another hot one. I barely hear our song continue to play when I feel a rough hand at my neck turning me quickly. Xavier's bright eyes meet mine as his arms wrap securely around me.
I feel one of his hands leave mine to pull Sebastian in tighter against my back. Their lips meet above my head and of course I can't even see them. Doesn't matter how many times I watch them together, it's never enough. My boyfriend has a boyfriend, who's also my boyfriend. I'm pretty sure I'm living the dream.
As the music fades and the crowd's cheers wash over us, I'm sandwiched between the two men I love more than anything. The drama with Ruby and Dylan feels like a distant memory now. This—right here, right now—this is what matters. This is real. This is us.
We did it. We showed them who we are. And you know what?
I’d say we killed it .
