Chapter Twelve
She looked around, her head twisting from side to side. She was safe, for now. Turning around, she prepared to run when she bumped into something solid. Looking up she shrieked as she tried to back up. His hands clamped around her upper arms as he glowered at her. “Why did you leave, Emma?” He cocked his head as he shook her.
She pushed him away as hard as she could. She tried to turn around and run, but she couldn’t get away fast enough. As she ran she heard his voice taunting her. “You shouldn’t have run from me Emma. I’m coming for you. Don’t you know by now we are meant to be together?”
“NO!” She screamed. “Leave me alone! I don’t want you!”
“No…” Emmy whined softly as she tossed and turned. “No, leave me alone!” She began to kick the covers off, struggling in her sleep.
Kian woke up abruptly when Emmy pushed at him, as if trying to escape. His eyes blinked rapidly as he reached for her. After their heated kisses last night, she had wanted to sleep in his arms and he wasn’t about to disagree. Having Emmy sleep with her head on his chest was like Heaven. It was the best sleep he had ever gotten on the road. But now Heaven was quickly turning into Hell. Gathering his strong arms around her, he pulled her tight against his chest. "Shh, Little One. I’m here.” He reached up to stroke back her hair. “Wake up, Emmy.” He whispered soothingly to her.
Emmy’s eyes snapped open as she tried to bolt up in bed. Yet Kian’s arms were wrapped around her, preventing her from being free. Even though she heard his voice, she fought against his embrace. “No, let me go!” She was still in the daze of the nightmare.
Suddenly feeling very scared; Kian wrapped his arms fully around her as he held her tight. “Please Little One, you’re breakin’ me heart. I’m here baby.” He brushed his lips over her forehead. “You’re safe. I swear it.” He whispered over and over.
Somehow Kian’s soft voice finally penetrated through the nightmare. All the fight went out of her as she slumped against his chest as her arms slid around his waist. Her eyes filled with tears as she began to shake as she hugged him tightly. “Oh god Kian, I’m so sorry.” Her voice cracked.
He could feel her trembling in his arms and anger suddenly swept through him. What could possibly have caused her to become so frightened? Having a bad dream was one thing, but Emmy was terrified for some reason. He ran his hands down over her back in a comforting caress. “Ya have nothin’ to be sorry for, love.” He whispered to her. “I’m here for ya. Nothin’ is gonna get to ya. I’m here to protect ya.”
Emmy buried her head in his chest as she sobbed. The dream had seemed so real. She thought she had left all her baggage back in New York. It wasn’t supposed to follow her here. However Kian was here. He would protect her, just like always.
Feeling the hot tears splash against his chest, Kian closed his eyes and hugged her tighter. His poor Emmy was suffering and he felt so helpless. He would fight for her but it was hard to fight something that you couldn’t see, such as a nightmare. Lying back against the headboard, he pulled her down with him. He could still feel her shaking in his arms. “I’m here for ya, Little One.” He whispered as he kissed her forehead again. “Do ya want to tell me about it?” He asked a bit hesitantly.
With her cheek pressed against the skin of his chest, Emmy clenched her eyes shut. “It was just a bad dream.” Her voice cracked as she hugged him tighter.
He could tell instantly she was lying. Why wouldn’t she tell him what was wrong? He lifted her so he could look in her eyes. “I was hopin’ that ya wouldn’t be lyin’ to me, Emma Marie.” He used her full name in a semi-stern tone. He could see fear in her eyes and he felt his heart clench. His face softened. “Tell me what’s wrong. What were ya dreamin’?”
Hearing the love in his voice, Emmy broke down. “Oh god Kian it was horrible. I was being chased by-“ Suddenly she broke off. No, it was better not to go there. This was one thing she had to handle herself. “This faceless guy was chasing me and I couldn’t get away.” She finished with a ragged breath. “I was so scared. I couldn’t find you.” Her eyes closed as fresh tears fell from her lashes.
Kian pulled her to his chest as he wrapped his strong arms around her. “I’ll always be there for ya, Emmy. All ya have to do is look. I’ll be right by your side. Even in your dreams. When you’re scared, just look for me. I’ll be there.” He murmured as he cradled her against his chest. “Nothin’ will hurt ya, Little One. I swear.”
Being so close to Kian, Emmy felt safe in his arms. She stopped shaking as she laid her head on his shoulder. “You’re my knight in shining armor.” She teased lightly as she ran her fingertips over his chest.
“Better believe it, baby.” He tilted her chin to look into her eyes. “I swear to ya. No one is gonna touch ya. They will have to go through me first.” He caressed her cheek.
Hearing the sincerity coming from him, Emmy arched her body in closer to him. Having slept next to him all night, she wasn’t even going to deny that she wanted to be this close to him. Even though it had only been a short time since being reunited with him, she had to agree with Kian. It indeed felt as if there was something special between them. Knowing that there was only way to get rid of the nightmare, she lifted her body and brushed her lips over his. Her hand reached up to cup his cheek as her tongue teased his lower lip, begging for entrance.
The fact that she was reaching out to kiss him had Kian moaning and hauling her close as he opened his mouth. Their tongues came together in an erotic duel. Rocking her against him, Kian’s hands slid down over her bottom. His long fingers slid through her hair, cupping the back of her head. His lips conquered hers as he deepened the kiss. She may have started it, but he wanted to chase all of the bad things away.
Just then came a loud knock on the hotel room door. Both Emmy and Kian jumped as he pulled her close, protectively. Then a loud booming voice echoed through the doorway, only belonging to one person, Bryan. “Kino get your bloody arse up!” There was another loud knock. “Let me in!”
As much as she tried to help it, Emmy burst out laughing. She buried her head in the crook of Kian’s neck as she giggled. A dark thunderous look appeared on Kian’s face as he glared at the door. “I’m up, Bry.” He called out, hoping that would satisfy his friend. “I’ll meet ya downstairs.”
There was a brief silence before Bryan could be heard snickering. “Come on Kino, let me in. I wanna wish Emmy a good mornin’.”
“Ya can see her downstairs!” Kian growled back.
All of a sudden Shane and Nicky could be heard laughing outside the door. “I told ya!” Nicky could be heard saying.
Kian groaned as he let his head fall back on the headboard. “Is it too late to find new mates?”
Emmy kissed him lightly on the neck as she snuggled close to him. “Aww come on. The lads are great. They are great fun.”
Turning his head, he gave her a smile. “They just like makin’ fun of us.” He ran his hands up and down her back, soothingly. It felt so good to wake up with her, despite the rocky start to the morning.
“We should get up and ready so we can grab some breakfast before we have to board the bus.” Emmy found she couldn’t stop touching him. It should freak her out that her best friend was sitting nearly naked as he held her in his arms. Yet, as her eyes roamed over Kian’s bare chest a shiver of excitement raced over her. Then a thought hit her hard. They only had tonight and then she had to go back to Sligo.
Kian saw a frown overtake her face and he became instantly worried. Putting his fingers under her chin, he lifted her head to look in her eyes. “What’s wrong? Still not thinkin’ about the dream, are ya?”
She shook her head. “No. I just realized tonight is my last night here. Tomorrow I leave for back home.”
On instinct Kian gathered her up in his arms, rocking her in his arms. He didn’t want to think about being without her, not when they finally bridged the gap between friendship and…and what? Did he love her? Did she love him? What exactly did they have? That gave him pause as he looked down at her. Shane had been right. He was falling for her badly. The thought of her with anyone but him caused anger like he’d never known to rise up inside of him.
“Kian, are you ok?” Emmy ran her fingers through his tousled hair. “Why do you have that look on your face?”
Snapping out of his thoughts, he looked at her puzzled. “What look?”
“The look that says you’re about to kill someone.” Emmy sighed. “You only usually have that look when you’re angry.”
Giving her a lopsided grin, Kian chuckled. “Trust me, Little One. You’re safe. I was just thinkin’.”
“About what?” Emmy laid her head on his shoulder.
“About how we’re gonna make tonight special.” Kian kissed her forehead. “If I only can have ya for one more night, then we’ll have to use our time wisely.”
Seeing the look in Kian’s eyes caused a sensual shiver to travel up and down her spine. She could see hidden promises in the ice blue orbs. That alone gave her a lot to think about.

“Ok now you and Bridget can sit here.” Jake motioned to the two front row seats in front of him. “The lads will sing one of their songs and then do a quick interview.” He looked at the two girls. Westlife was performing on one of the more popular late night talk shows in the UK. They would be taping their part shortly, hence the reason Jake was trying to get the girls to their seats.
“This is going to be great.” Bridget smiled excitedly. She kept turning her head from left to right, trying to take it all in.
“I hate to leave ya lasses but I need to get backstage. The lads always keep me hands full.” Jake sighed as he rolled his eyes. “Kian and Bryan are probably torturing Nicky right now." Suddenly there was an ear-piercing scream that was heard from the back. Jake frowned. “I’ll see you in a bit.” He stormed off as Emmy and Bridget laughed.
Taking her seat, Emmy stretched out as she yawned. That’s when she caught her cousin giving her a smug look. “What is your problem?” She turned her head and raised her eyebrows.
“Sleep well last night?” Bridget smirked as she sat down next to her.
Giving her cousin a dirty look, Emmy turned her head to the front. “That is none of your business.” She folded her arms over her chest. Suddenly the dream came flashing back. She closed her eyes tightly as she tried to block out the vision of being chased.
“Are you ok?” Bridget put her hand on Emmy’s shoulder. “You look a little green.” There was concern in her voice.
“I’m fine.” Emmy tried to keep her voice even as other audience members began to come in and take their seats. “I just had a weird dream last night. Nothing much to worry about.”
“Bryan was a bit worried when Kian wouldn’t open the door.” Bridget chewed her lower lip.
Suddenly Emmy started to laugh. “Oh I’m sure he was. Poor Kian was about ready to kill him.”
“I’m serious.” Bridget laughed. “They heard some kind of yellin’ comin’ from the room and got worried.”
Emmy frowned. “It was nothing.”
Before Bridget could reply, the host of the show came out and the audience began to applaud. She knew something was bothering her cousin. The fact that she didn’t know what it was kept bugging her. “I just worry about you.” She whispered to Emmy.
“I’m f-“ Emmy stopped when she saw the lads come out from the back. She swallowed hard when she saw Kian. He wore a pair of faded blue jeans that hung low on his hips, fitting his body like a glove. There were holes in the jeans, with one high up on his left thigh, giving her a glimpse of bare skin. The shirt he wore was a yellow t-shirt with some various writing on it. It clung to the hard muscles of his chest, pulling tight in some places. To complete the look he wore a worn brown leather jacket. His hair was tousled, looking sexy as ever. As he came out to take his seat on the stool, he looked over and their eyes met. She could see the corners of Kian’s mouth twitch as if he wanted to smile. Emerald met ice blue as they stared at each other. Only when Bryan pushed Kian did their gaze break. Bryan looked over and winked at Emmy as he sat next to him, causing Emmy to blush hard.
“You really need to let that poor lad work.” Bridget teased. She laughed as Emmy growled low in her throat.
They watched as the host began his introduction of the lads. Emmy tried to sit still but Kian’s eyes were focused on her and her alone. She had the sudden urge to stick out her tongue at him. Instead she began to tease him. She stuck out her tongue and swept it along her lower lip, very slowly. She could see his body stiffen as his eyes narrowed. She fought hard not to giggle as she did it again. Biting her lip, she tried hard not to burst out laughing as he pursed his lips together almost in a growl.
Kian let out a deep breath. She was going to be the death of him. Seeing her sitting there all he wanted to do was walk over and pull her into his arms. He knew he was falling fast for her. Was he moving too fast? It wasn’t very long ago since they found each other again. Just then he felt Bryan nudge him. He jerked his head around to have Bryan whisper in his ear. “Ya better stop starin. You’re droolin.” Kian blushed hard as his hand came up to his mouth. Finding it dry, he turned to glare at Bryan.
She didn’t know what was going on, but seeing the look Kian was giving Bryan, Emmy had to fight laughter. Then the music began and she held her breath. She loved it when the lads sang. Even though now she was secretly biased, loving the sound of Kian’s voice especially. When she heard the opening strains, she froze. She knew this song from the cd Bridget played. Instantly she fought tears as Shane raised the mic to his lips and began to sing.
If you wanna know
Tomorrow morning I have to leave
But wherever I may be
Best believe I'm thinking of you
I can't believe how much I love
Once again her eyes met with Kian’s. She saw the sadness in his eyes as they both thought of how long they were going to be apart. This tour was important to the band and their fans. Yet, the months seem to stretch before them like years. Hearing Shane sing it was as if they had their own personal anthem.
All we have is here tonight
We don't want to waste this time
Give me something to remember
Baby put your lips on mine
And I'll love you forever
Anytime that we find ourselves apart
Kian bowed his head as he tried to take a deep breath. Tonight was all he had to show Emmy how much things had changed between them. Between all the press and the tour, he wouldn’t have a single moment to himself. Yet they had tonight. He had to make tonight special. Hearing his cue, he lifted his head as he raised his mic to his lips. As they sang the chorus, his eyes reached out to her, as if saying everything.
Just close your eyes
And you'll be here with me
Just look to your heart
And that's where I'll be
If you just close your eyes
Till your drifting away
You'll never be too far from me
If you close your eyes
Emmy kept her eyes on Kian as he sang to her. She willed herself not to cry. She knew she would miss him. Sleeping in his arms last night spoiled her like her father’s money never could. She wanted to do it again and again. Seeing Kian put his hand on his heart as he sang nearly undid her. Trying to be discreet as she could, she dabbed at the corners of her eyes with her fingertips as Shane began to sing his solo again.
I know I'm gonna see you again
But promise me that you won't forget
Cause as long as you remember
A part of us will be together
Emmy unconsciously dug out the chain that lay between her breasts and cupped the medallion in her hand. She saw Kian smile wide as he stared deep into her eyes. She never forgot Kian, nor would she ever forget him. They were connected in a way that no one would ever understand.
So even when you're fast asleep
Look for me inside your dreams
Keep believing in what we're sharing
And even when I'm not there to tell you
I'll, I'll love you forever
Anytime that I can't be where you are
The lyrics of the song reminded her of Kian’s words to her after she woke up from her nightmare. I’ll always be there for ya, Emmy. All ya have to do is look. I’ll be right by your side. Even in your dreams. When you’re scared, just look for me. I’ll be there. If tonight was all they had, then Emmy was going to make full use of the time. A part of her was shaking at the thought of taking the next step with Kian. Once they took this step there was no going back. Yet the memories of Kian’s arms and the way they held her had her swallowing hard. The feel of kissing him left her breathless. It was then it hit her. She wanted this more than anything. She wanted to be the one who Kian turned to when he needed someone. She wanted him to be her knight in shining armor. She wanted him. Letting out a deep breath, she stared into his eyes and mouthed one single word.
