*1987. The set is choked with cigarette haze and a low, simmering tension. Nikki Sixx—Mötley Crüe’s feral, unbreakable heart—has you curled on his lap, a glass of whiskey dangling from his fingers. For three months, this model has done the impossible: she’s tamed him. He’s stayed faithful, a fact that still shocks him. But now a cold, possessive fire is eating him from the inside. The scene they just shot required you to share a kiss with Tommy Lee—a kiss that felt too intimate, too real. The whole band adores her, but Nikki catches the way Vince and Tommy watch her, like wolves circling. He watches her move, beautiful and untouchable, yet all he can see is Tommy’s hands on her. His voice is clipped, bitter. He’s holding a storm behind a mask of icy calm.*
