"I know you're there babe," he said, softly as he turned in his seat and smiled.
"How did you know I was here? I tried to be quiet. I'm sorry if I disturbed your work," I said, feeling the need to apologize.
He was out of his seat and had me wrapped in his arms before I knew what was happening. He leaned in and kissed the tip of my nose.
"First of all, no matter what I'm doing, I want you by my side, and second, I always know when you're near. I can sense it," he said, kissing my lips and tightening his hold on me.
"I feel it too, you know," I said into his chest.
"What?" He asked with a look of confusion.
"I can feel when you're close by before I even see you, before you say a word. I know you're there. The little hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, I get goose bumps, and my heart begins to beat really fast, and that's all before I ever hear your voice or see your face. When our eyes meet, my heart skips a beat and a thousand butterflies take flight in my stomach. It's the most amazing feeling," I said. I could feel myself blushing when I noticed the intense look in his eyes.
"There's something that I need to talk to you about. I was going to wait until we reached Billings, but you're awake, so I guess now's as good a time as any," he told me and I immediately got a sick feeling in my stomach; not from butterflies. It was the feeling of dread and anxiety over what he was about to tell me. I just put it all out there for him and he was about to tell me that he had changed his mind about marrying me.
Oh my God!
Grabbing my hand, he pulled me to the front of the bus and lowered himself down onto the sofa. I started to sit beside him when he pulled on my arm and I fell into his lap. "That's much better," he said. "You know I write most of the songs for the band, right?" He asked. I nodded, still wondering where all of this was going. "I've been writing tonight, but I've also been rolling some things over in my mind. It has to do with my future," he paused for a moment before continuing, "our future. I really want to make a life with you, sweetheart. I promise to work really hard to make you happy, and to stay clean. I'm thinking I jumped back into this too soon. How would you feel about me leaving the tour? We could go home. You can finish your degree and plan our wedding," he said with a smile that caused those butterflies to take flight. “I can go to my meetings, follow up with my therapist, and write music. It's what I love doing. What do you say to that, baby?" He asked, cupping my face in his big hands.
"I think that's a wonderful idea," I said, and I could hear him release a heavy breath he'd been holding. "I love you, no matter what you choose to do. I believe in you, and I'll be by your side, no matter what," I told him. I noticed that his eyes were filled with tears. He buried his face in my hair and took a deep breath.
"Where have you been all of my life? I love you so much. You're one addiction that I'm happy to have. I'll talk to the guys when we arrive in Montana and then we can make some plans. Okay?" He said, leaning in and claiming my mouth with his.
"Linc?" I said in between his kisses.
"Yeah, baby," he stopped kissing me long enough to meet my eyes.
"Take me to bed?" I didn't have to ask him twice as he scooped me up and practically ran down the narrow hallway. How he kept from banging into something, I'll never know. He lowered me onto the bed and looked at me with so much love in his eyes. We made love twice before falling asleep in each other's arms.
Linc
Billings, Montana
We checked into the Holiday Inn Grand Casino and headed to our rooms to shower and get ready for the day.
"I've got something that I'd like to discuss with you guys before the show tonight," I told the guys as we stepped into the private elevator to head up to the penthouse suite. Court thought it would be nice if we all shared the penthouse this time, being that we would be there for a couple of days. We had the show that night and a promotional event the following night before we left for the next stop on the tour.
"Okay man. We can do that. Why don't we all meet for lunch in an hour? We can discuss it then," Court said and we all agreed.
"You know you're sleeping with me right? Don't even think about taking a separate room just because your brother is staying in the same suite," I whispered in her ear and I could feel her body shiver next to me. Her lips curled at the corners when she turned to respond.
"I wouldn't dream of it, and besides, I'm pretty sure my brother knows that we're sleeping together," she said. She ran her pink tongue over her bottom lip. "I'm just not sure how he's going to respond to our news later. We might want to think about getting a different suite," she said before pulling her bottom lip between her teeth and chewing on it.
"Let me handle it. It's going to be okay. I promise," I assured her. Once we had all showered and dressed for lunch, we headed to the hotel grill where Court had reserved a private table in the corner of the room. The bartender came over and took our drink orders, water all around, then disappeared for a few moments before returning with our drinks. He gave us all menus and disappeared again to give us time to decide.
"So, what did you want to talk to us about?" Jinx asked, eying me suspiciously, as if he were trying to read my mind. I could feel the lump in my throat growing as I tried to push it back down.
"I love you guys. You know that, right?" I said.
"What the fuck man? I don't swing that way! You know that!" Chance was quick to respond while the other guys stared at me, trying to figure out where I was going with the conversation.
"I don't mean it like that, dickhead," I replied through gritted teeth. "Just shut the fuck up and let me finish," I said, pausing as I tried to gather my thoughts, being careful to word things correctly. "I've made the decision to leave the tour, especially after what happened with Teagan in Seattle. I've thought about taking out a restraining order, but that wouldn't be good for the tour, and it also wouldn't be good publicity for the band. I need to concentrate on my sobriety and getting better. Besides, I can continue to write from home," I said, taking in the shocked expressions on each of their faces.
"I'm happy for you man. I think we were wrong in asking you to come with us after only being out of rehab for a few days. If there hadn't been so much pressure on you to begin with, things might not have gotten so bad to begin with," Jinx said, and each of the guys voiced their agreement.
"I think you're making the right decision," Court agreed. "That will only give us a few days to find someone to fill in for the remainder of the tour, though. I know you guys don't want to hear this, but we may have to get Teagan to fill in after tonight, at least until we find someone," he said and was immediately met with a string of obscenities from everyone at the table.
"You're out of your mother fuckin’ mind if you think for one minute that bitch is playing with our band. I'm seriously beginning to think that we need to start looking for a new manager. That's seriously fucked up, dude!" Jinx said.
"Look, I'm just looking out for what's best for the band. You need a bass player," he said. I could see the muscle in his jaw twitching. I opened my mouth to tell him just what I thought of his fucked up idea when Honesty placed his small hand over mine where it rested on the table, and just like that, some of the anxiety left my body. It was not worth getting bent out of shaped over. I wouldn’t be the one having to play with a substitute bass player, so I would let Jinx take care of it. After all, Dirty Affliction was started by him.
"Court, I've never second guessed you until recently. You've made one fucked up decision after another where Linc is concerned. I've stood back and kept my mouth shut for too long. I'll take care of finding someone to continue the tour. I also think the guys will be okay with my decision in telling you that you’re fired! Your services are no longer required by Dirty Affliction and I expect you to get your shit and get out immediately," he demanded. I couldn't hold back the shit eating grin that spread across my face. Everyone voiced their agreement. Court opened his mouth to say something, but decided against it when we all glared at him, daring him to say a fucking word about it. He stood from the table and walked away without saying a word.
"It's about fucking time," Levi said and we agreed.
"That mother fucker has been out for one person, and that's himself," Chance replied.
"That's not where I intended this conversation to go," I said, looking at Jinx who was cracking his knuckles. I found that he does when he's angry.
"I know you didn't, but it's been a long time coming. The moment Teagan's name was out of his mouth, I knew it was time for him to go," he responded.
The remainder of the meal was spent discussing the possibilities of bass players that we could call on. Honesty left the table and decided to shop for a bathing suit since there was a pool in the hotel. I didn't miss the growl that escaped Jinx when I told her to buy a skimpy one because it would be less that I would have to take off of her. I decided it would be best to announce our engagement another time and luckily Honesty didn't mention it either. I figured it would be best when her brother was in a better mood and less likely to end my life.
We left the hotel grill and made our way back to our rooms with just an hour to get ready before we had to leave for the venue. When I stepped into our room, I was greeted with the sweet sounds of Honesty's voice as she sang in the shower. Quickly stripping out of my clothes I stepped into the shower to find her shampooing her hair. I took a moment to take in her beautiful body with soap bubbles cascading over her puckered nipples.
"Here, let me do that," I said, placing my hands on her shoulders and turning her body so that she was facing away from me. My fingers slipped into her silky hair as I massaged her scalp. The soft sounds of her moaning had my dick standing at attention, begging to be inside her. Stepping forward I pressed my cock against the firm globes of her ass. Wrapping my arms around her, I cupped her breasts and lightly pinched her nipples. She arched her back and pressed her hips harder against my hard shaft. I couldn't hold back the groan that escaped my lips.
"Feel what you do to me baby? My cock needs to be inside you," I said, kissing the soft skin between her shoulder blades. "I've missed that tight little pussy of yours. You're all I could think about after you left to go shopping.
"Oh. Oh. That feels so good," she whispered as I entered her from behind.
"Place your hands on the wall, baby," I instructed and she did as I told her. Grasping her hips, I dug my fingers into her flesh so hard it will surely leave bruises. I didn't care. I felt the need to claim her, to mark her, to make her mine.
"Mmm. Mmm," she grunted with each hard thrust of my cock.
"You were made for me. Feel how perfectly we fit together?" I asked, thrusting in and out at a faster pace. My balls tightened painfully against my body and that familiar tingle at the base of my spine began and I knew that it was only a matter of minutes before I came.
"Are you close, sweetheart? Please tell me you're there. I'm not going to make it much longer," I grunted, thrusting harder and deeper than before.
"Yes! I'm going to– I'm coming! Oh, Linc!" She cried out, then let her forehead rest against the cold tile of the shower wall. The sound of her calling my name triggered my own release. I leaned forward bracing my hands against the wall, caging her in.
"I love how responsive you are, Honesty. Our bodies are so in tune with one another," I said, placing a gentle kiss on her bare shoulder. "After the show tonight, we can go for a swim. I want to see how fast I can get you out of that new bikini," I nipped her shoulder causing her to squeal at the sensation. “Come on, love, we've got to get ready and head over to the venue," I told her as I grabbed a towel from the rack and wrapped it around her naked body.
Once we were dressed and ready to leave, I called down to the hotel desk and asked them to call a cab and have it pull around to the back entrance in order to try and avoid the press that had been camped out on the sidewalk ever since we arrived.
When we arrived at the venue, a couple of the security staff met us at the car and escorted us inside. I was glad to see the venue in Billings took the security of the band seriously, unlike that place in Seattle. He escorted us all the way to our dressing room on the other side of the large building. All the guys had arrived before me, which was nothing new, and they were all wrapped up in their preshow preparations. I grabbed a bottle of water for Honesty and myself before crossing the room and taking a seat in a couple of folding chairs.
"Hey man. I just wanted to let you know that I've been able to find someone to fill in for the rest of the tour. She'll be meeting us in Fargo in a couple of days," he told me.
"What's her name? How'd you find out about her?" I asked.
"Her name is Honor Collins. She's a niece of one of our label executives. We'll get to meet her at the dinner tomorrow. She'll leave with us from here tomorrow night. Keep your fingers crossed she's good. I'd hate have to piss off our label," he laughed. I know Jinx, and although he laughed, he meant every word of what he said. He didn’t take it too well when somebody fucked with his band. Court losing his job was a prime example of that.
Someone stuck their head into the room and shouted, “Fifteen,” which meant that we had fifteen minutes before we were supposed to be on stage.
We followed security to an area just off stage and watched as the crew removed Sweet Misery's equipment and replaced it with ours. The crowd went bat shit crazy when our pictures began to scroll across the Jumbotrons on either side of the stage. We took our places on stage when the lights went out. Slowly our signature white fog filtered onto the stage and the strobes began to flash. Jinx began his count on the drums as the spotlight landed on Levi.
"Hello Billings!" He shouted and the crowd roared with excitement. "We're gonna rock the shit out of this place tonight! My fingers slid across my fret board and Chance joined in from across the stage as Levi's voice filled the place as he sang Dirty Down, one of our newer songs. The crowd loved it. I could see Honesty just offstage, tucked in a corner and hidden by the curtain just like always. She smiled at me and my chest tightened. I had so much love for that woman and I was damn lucky to have her. Keeping my eyes pinned on her, I fluttered my tongue in a suggestive manner and I could see her laugh from here.
After several songs, it was time for guitar wars with Chance, and even though the guys knew nothing about it, I had decided to change it up a little bit.
"Hey guys! I know this is not the norm for us, but I've got something that I want to share with you all, so if you'll humor me for just a few minutes, I promise Chance and I will fuck this place up in just a moment," I shouted into the microphone in the middle of the stage. Chance looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. That was what I liked about Chance, he was so used to my antics that he's just learned to go with the flow. Levi, on the other hand, was standing across the stage looking anxious and worried about what I was about to do. "I wanted to tell you guys that tonight will be my last show for a while," I said and the place went silent as I continued. "You know I've had a rough go lately and I feel like it would be best if I head back home and concentrate on getting better for all of you," I paused for a moment and then continued. My heart pounded so hard in my chest that I was afraid it was going to pop out and land on the stage. "Don't worry, I'll be back, and I'm not quitting altogether. I'll be writing some new songs for the band, but I, also, am not going back alone," I said, turning to face Honesty. I held out my hand, encouraging her to meet me on the stage. It took her a moment to gather up the courage to walk out in front of thousands of people, and I couldn’t blame her. It took some getting used to.
She slowly walked across the stage and took my hand with a questioning look in her green eyes. "Trust me, babe," I told her before addressing the crowd again. "This is Honesty and she's the love of my life. You see, I asked her to marry me and she said, ‘yes,’" I told the crowd and cheers erupted throughout. "I'm the luckiest fucker there is! Guys, when you find a woman who loves you and sticks by you in a mountain of shit, you better hold on tight because they don't come around too often in our lifetime," I said before turning my attention to her. "Honesty baby, thank you for agreeing to be my wife, you make me want to be a better person, and I promise not to let you down," I said, wrapping my hand around the nape of her neck, I pulled her in for a passionate kiss while the crowd cheered us on.
When we separated, we were both breathless. Pulling out of my grasp, she walked across the stage where I saw Levi wrap his arms around her and smile. The rest of the show went off without a hitch, and when it was over we were ushered back to our dressing room by security, where for the next hour, we did the meet and greet with those fans lucky enough to get back stage passes.
"You shocked the shit out us out there!" Levi said, shaking my hand and then kissing Honesty on the cheek. I couldn't help the growl that escaped my lips when he kissed her.
"Don't let him kiss you, babe. You don't know where those lips have been," I told her and she just rolled her eyes at me.
"I think I'm pretty safe with Levi, It's this one that I'm worried about," she said, pointing and laughing as Chance made his way over to where we were.
"What's so funny? Are you talking about my hair again? I swear you're going to hurt his feelings if you don't watch it," he said, running his hands over the top of his purple Mohawk.
"His? Your Mohawk is a he?" Honesty asked with a smirk on her face. You would think by now she would understand how Chance feels about his hair.
"I told you, he has a mind of his own. Why do you think he is hard and standing at attention all the time? It's all the beautiful women we come in contact with. He's like another part of my anatomy that never lays down on the job!" He said with a grin. "Now come here and let me properly congratulate you," he said, making a grab for her, but I put my hand against his chest to stop him.
"YOU are not kissing my woman. I've seen where those lips have been. You can shake her hand, but that's all you’re allowed to do,” I warned. He clutched his heart as though, it had just been broken, but he shook her hand, and then quickly pulled her in for a hug, causing her to burst into a fit of giggles. "That's enough Romeo!" I separated the two of them just as Jinx stepped into the room. He stalked across the room with a fire in his eyes that led me to believe he was not okay with this. Wrapping my arm around Honesty, I pulled her close against my body and braced myself for what was coming.
"I'll admit that when you told the crowd that you were marrying my sister, I wanted to stomp onto that stage and beat you to death with that Fender of yours. All I could think about during the show was the fact that you were taking my family away from me, and then I remembered that you're one of the best friends I have, so I am really just gaining a brother," he said. He then took a step forward and pinned me with a stormy gaze. "I'm going to give you one last warning," he said through clenched teeth. "Don't hurt my sister, because if you do, I know a place where I can hide your body and no one will ever know," he said before slapping me on the back and pulling me into a one arm hug. Something told me that he was not joking. I would just have to prove to him that I would never hurt her.
The door to the dressing room opened and security ushered in a string of fans. We all spent the next hour posing for pictures and signing autographs, except this time, some of them wanted pictures of me and Honesty together and many of them wished us well in our future together. That was definitely not something I was expecting.
It was well after midnight when we made it back to our hotel room.
"Where's that sexy swimsuit you bought today? Put it on and let’s go down to the pool," I said, grabbing her by the hips and pulling her against my hard cock.
"It's after midnight," she said as she placed her tiny palms against my chest, trying to free herself from my grip. "The door will be locked. We won't be able to get in," she said.
"Let me worry about that," I said, letting my hands move from her waist to her firm hips. "Now put that sexy ass suit on, and be quick about it. I want to fuck you in the pool," I said, squeezing her ass with my hands and grinding myself against her jeans. Her green eyes sparkled with excitement as she turned and walked over to the bed where she picked up her suit and then disappeared into the bathroom. I quickly stripped out of my sweaty clothes and pulled on a pair of board shorts I always packed for any chance I might get to swim. There was just something about the peaceful feeling of floating in the cool water after being in front of thousands of screaming fans and sweating under the hot stage lights.
Honesty stepped from the bathroom wearing a long t-shirt over her suit and carrying a couple of hotel towels. I tossed my phone onto the dresser and grabbed my room keycard before taking her hand in mine and heading for the hotel pool. Just as she said before we arrived, the door was locked and the lights are out. What she didn’t know was that the hotel manager had given me the code to unlock the door after I told him my plans earlier that day. Not that I told him I was planning on fucking in the pool. I just told him that my girl and I wanted to go for a swim after the concert, so he was happy to give me the code. Her eyes widened when I punched the code into the keypad and the door unlocked. She placed her hand on the light switch to turn on the lights, but I stopped her before she could flip the switch.
"No. I want to leave the lights off," I said, kissing the tip of her nose. I led her across the cement floor, close to the edge of the pool where I dropped my towel and room key. When I turned back around, all the breath in my lungs rushed out and I felt light headed. Honesty stood before me wearing a royal blue bikini. The top consisted of two small triangles, just big enough to cover her nipples and the bottoms were tiny, and tied on each side. I stared at her with hunger in my eyes and a straining cock beneath my shorts. "You're an angel, sent to me from above. I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I thank my lucky stars that you're mine," I said, closing the distance between us.” I need you to breathe," I said, brushing my lips over hers. "You brought light into this dark world of mine and made me realize that I am worthy of love," I said, covering her mouth with mine. I licked her bottom lip and she opened willingly, allowing my tongue to explore. Her body trembled in my arms. "No drug could ever make me feel the way you do. When you're in my arms, I feel like I'm on top of the fucking world and I can do anything as long as you're by my side," I told her, lacing her fingers with mine. We walked down the steps and into the water, the lights in the pool illuminating her beautiful body.
"Linc, you are my knight in shining armor. None of us are free of demons. We all have skeletons in our closet, but it's nothing we can't overcome as a team; you and I," she said, reaching behind her and untying the string at the nape of her neck, letting her top fall forward, freeing her beautiful breasts. "When I went back home, I was miserable. I'll admit that seeing you with other women tore me apart inside, but at least while I was traveling with the band, I still got to see you ever day. It made my day worth waking up for because I knew I would get to see you at some point. Even though you weren't with me, you were still close by. When you overdosed, I felt as if my life was ending before it ever really started. I knew from the first time I laid eyes on you that I'd marry you one day,” she admitted, catching me completely by surprise at her words.
"You didn't even know me, and yet you already decided that you were going to marry me?" I asked, the corner of my lips curling into a curious smile.
"Yeah, I did. I just knew when I was around you, my heart skipped a beat and my stomach filled with butterflies. I felt drawn to you. I even told Jinx that I was going to marry you," she said and laughed. "I'm sure you can imagine how that went over. It was like a lead balloon." She said, her eyes dancing with happiness as she said it.
"Yeah, I can only imagine. He's like the brother that I never had, but he is not exactly my biggest fan," I told her. She reached behind her and untied the string behind her back and removed the tiny top altogether.
"I love you, Linc, and now that we're together, that's all that matters," she said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and climbed my body like a tree. She grinded her pussy against my throbbing cock and I couldn't hold back the growl of appreciation that escaped the back of my throat. Sliding my hands down her sides, I pulled the strings at her hips and removed her bottoms altogether. I hurriedly removed my shorts. I pushed them down over my thighs and let them fall to the bottom of the pool, not caring that I would have to retrieve them later. I took her mouth in a kiss and fell back in the water with her still wrapped around me. We kissed under the water as long as we could until we had to come up for air.
"That was fucking hot." I snarled, walking her across the pool and pushing her back against the tiled wall. Her nipples were hard, rubbing against the bare skin of my chest, and driving me crazy with need to be inside of her. Fisting my cock, I slid it back and forth between her slick folds, causing her to whimper and squirm in my arms. "Shh. I'm going to give you everything you need, baby. I'm going to make you feel so good." I dropped my head, taking one of her hard nipples between my teeth, and bit down just enough to cause her to cry out. She gasped as I lifted her up in my arms and impaled her with my thick cock. Slowly lifting her hips, I started moving at a slow pace, penetrating her deep within. "You were made for me," I told her.
"Yes. Oh my God, yes," she moaned, letting her head fall back against the side of the pool.
"Open your eyes, baby. Watch me as I make love to you. I need to see your beautiful face when you fall apart," I said. She lifted her head and looked into my eyes. I began to move at a faster pace, thrusting harder and deeper with each movement. Her body melted into mine as we became one in the moment. My thick cock stretched her to her limits as I continued to thrust in and out, faster and faster. Her green eyes darkened, her breathing labored, now coming in short pants. I could tell by the look in her eyes and the way her body tightened around mine that she was at her breaking point, and so was I. Her eyelids grew heavy as she fell apart in my arms and I followed close behind.
"You're so damn beautiful when you come," I said against her lips. Her head dropped forward and rested on my shoulder for a few moments as we both came back to Earth. It might not have been the most physical love making, but it was definitely the most beautiful and connecting experience yet.
After lounging in the pool and making love two more times, we redressed, gathered our towels, and headed to our room early in the morning.
