“Are you going to tell me?” I ask, wishing one of them would fill me in.
Darla’s pain subsides enough for her to answer me. “He’s the lead singer of Crave.” That means nothing to me, and when she realises that, she exclaims, “God, Presley, how can you not know who Crave is? They’re one of the best known rock bands in the world. You of all people should know who they are.”
Jett steps in. “Not everyone has heard of us, Darla. I do occasionally find someone who doesn’t know me.”
She rolls her eyes. “Well, now you’re just being humble. Everyone knows who you are.” She gives me a pointed stare. “Except Presley which is odd because - ”
I cut her off. “I don’t know every rock star in the world.” I give her a dirty look and then look at Jett. “Sorry.”
He shakes his head. “No, I loved that you didn’t know.”
I send him a wicked grin. “I’m not into rock stars so we can just pretend I don’t know.”
He chuckles. “You’re on.” And then his phone rings and he turns away to take the call.
Turning my attention back to Darla, I bend down and ask, “How are you feeling, hon?”
Her face is etched with pain. “I’ve never been in so much pain. Do you think it’s broken?”
“I have no clue. Jett’s organising a car to come pick you up and take you to the hospital.”
She looks at him in awe and then gives me a dreamy grin. “He’s got a good reputation, you know. Goes through women, apparently, but a nice guy regardless. It’s so nice of him to do this for me.”
“Oh god, you know that most of the shit you hear in the press is crap so I don’t know why you listen to that rubbish.”
She shrugs. “It’s Jett Vaughn, babe. I’ve been following him for years. I can’t believe I’ve met him, but bloody hell, why did it have to be when I look like shit?” She pauses before her eyes light up again and she adds, “Fuck, I can’t believe he’s your one-night stand.”
I laugh and wink at her. “Yeah, he’s the guy I had my lips wrapped around when you rang.”
“How the hell did you get so lucky?”
I’m just about to answer her when Jett comes back. “Sorry to interrupt, ladies, but I’ve got a car waiting downstairs for us.” He looks at Darla. “I’ll carry you down if you’d like.”
I’m sure she’s about to burst from either pain or excitement and I would bet good money on the latter.
She’s tiny, and he easily carries her to the car. Me? I’m still in shock this man gave up a blow job to take my friend to the hospital.

Sneak Peek of Breaking Kate by D. Kelly
The following is an excerpt from D. Kelly’s book Breaking Kate – Book One of The Acceptance Series
Chapter 1 - Michael
Las Vegas, also known as Sin City, is my current job location for the next few days. How could anyone not love a city whose entire motto is ‘what happens here, stays here’? I’m staying at the MGM Grand this time around. When I come with the guys they like to stay at the newest hotels, but I like the MGM. It’s not that old, and you just can’t beat a hotel where there’s a bartender who not only knows your name, but also remembers your drink order no matter how long it’s been since your last visit.
I checked in late last night after work and crashed as soon as I got here. Today is Friday and I don’t have to be back at the site until tomorrow. I spent most of the day at the pool relaxing. Vegas in January is usually freezing, but today it was actually hovering around seventy-three, and that was nice enough for me to babe watch from a pool side cabana. I need a new distraction—someone who can keep my mind off of Katherine.
