Don't Break My Heart (Straight from the Heart #3) Read Online Free

but Damon being… well Damon, had to go all out and show all of us up; hell, his was practically a mansion.
    “I felt like coming to see my sis instead.” Damon, ran a hand through his blond hair. He had buzzed it off back in winter and was slowly letting it grow back, complaining that he felt like an old, bald man with buzzed hair. “Plus, I had an idea.”
    I cocked my head to the side. “Idea, huh? This better be good…” We sat down on my black and gray pinstriped couch, flipping the TV on to one of the music stations.
    I tried changing it to the next channel, but Damon stopped me mid-song. “Keep this on, Luce, I love this song!” I chuckled and set the remote down, leaning back into the pillow behind me. I loved how soft this couch felt on my skin, I could sleep on this thing if I wanted to, but I preferred my bed any day.
    “If you say so, boss. So what was your brilliant idea?” 
    “What would you say to a couple weeks up at The Manor?” Damon suggested, mentioning the cabin we visited when we had the chance. “I mean since it’s getting close to the fourth of July and everything, we could throw a huge bash up there on the lake, invite some friends, it’ll be pretty kick ass.”
    “But what about putting out our album by the end of summer.” I interjected. “We only have a couple of songs written, and the label wanted us to have everything done by now.” We’ve been receiving phone calls almost daily from our representative at the label, asking us how the recording process was coming. Quite frankly it was a pain in the ass knowing they were on us like wildfire. We all agreed we were going to take a decent sized break, especially after what happened in Pontiac last November when Brayden Schaefler, Bryn’s brother, injured her, Cale and their Everlasting band mate Tyler, ultimately killing himself.
    “We can write up there like we usually do,” Damon replied casually, stretching his arms over his head. “Plus we got the studio in the downstairs, we don’t need those fancy ass producers this time around.”
    I chuckled. That was easier said than done. However, I really liked the idea of spending some time up at the official “Ignite the Flames” cabin we purchased in Alpena a few years ago with our first royalty check. It was right along the lake and was absolutely enormous, but that way the five of us each had our space when we needed it.
    “Sounds like a plan to me.” I rested my feet on the coffee table in front of us as we bopped along to the song that was now playing on TV. “Have you mentioned this to Pauly, Alex or Mike yet?”
    “Hell, no. You’re my go to girl, Lucy. I always like to go to you first for stuff like this.” He ruffled up the back of my hair and I glared at him while he shot me a broken smile. “Are you okay, Luce? I know we just got back but even the past couple of days you’ve been really tense and haven’t said much.”
    As much as Damon Charming loved his women and acted cocky and arrogant when he was around them, he was a softy and a big teddy bear when it was just him and I hanging out, playing music. Neither of us have had any feelings toward each other which makes things a lot more relaxed between us.
    “Thanks, Charming, I knew I liked you for a reason.” I cracked a smile, leaning into him.
    “That still doesn’t explain what’s wrong with you. Did something happen between you and Paul?” I always thought it was weird to hear anyone say Pauly’s name, not his nickname. Just hearing it gave me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. My mouth tensed up, and I started to bite the inside of my mouth when Damon finally caught on. “Holy shit, I was right that night! You two totally fucked like bunny rabbits, am I right?”
    I nodded slightly, trying to block the memory of that night out of my mind. “You got it Sherlock.”
    Damon slapped his knee. “Shit. I should’ve known from the way you’ve been completely silent around him.”
    “And
