Allison thanked her co-workers for the "surprise" birthday party they had thrown for her and left the office. There had been offers aplenty to do more partying, but she wasn't exactly in the festive mood. Her boyfriend of three years hadn't even called to wish her a happy birthday. It wasn't like JC not to call. She had tried reminding herself he was busy with the European leg of the Pop Odyssey Tour – but that didn't alleviate her blues.
Getting into her car, she headed for the beach house she and JC shared when he managed to be home. Maybe she'd feel better after a long bath and a pint of Haagen-Dazs.
Arriving home, Allison picked up the mail. A dozen birthday cards from friends and family were waiting – still nothing from JC. It wasn't bad enough he was gone; but he had forgotten her twenty-fifth birthday as well. Sometimes, having a famous boyfriend was definitely a downer!
Unlocking the front door, she shoved it open – only to be shocked by the sight that greeted her. A path made of rose petals led to the downstairs bathroom and beyond. Stopping at the bathroom door, she saw a box from Victoria's Secret sitting on the commode. The note on top read, "You thought I'd forgotten." Allison could almost hear the teasing scold in JC's voice. "How could I ever forget my baby girl's birthday?"
He must have made these plans to surprise her before he left – then had someone implement them in his absence. Suddenly, her mood improved 100%. JC had not forgotten her!
Allison opened the box to find a nightgown in pale peach silk. It was the perfect color to compliment her rich brown hair and deep hazel eyes. When she shook the gown out, another note fluttered out. "Put this on. A sexy gown for my sexy girl."
She quickly replaced her business suit with the gown. It felt deliciously sensual against her skin, fitting her five-four, well-toned frame perfectly. She smiled at the cut-out around the navel. Her belly ring was one of JC's quickest turn-ons.
Stepping out of the bathroom, she continued following the rose-petal trail. Next, it led to the kitchen. A box of gloriously indulgent chocolate truffles sat on the center island. The note read, "Later. Keep going."
Following the petal path, she arrived at the stairs. On each riser there was a perfect rose with the thorns carefully removed. "Each rose – a kiss." the note said. Allison collected each bloom until she reached the landing. More petals made a path to the master bedroom, then the master bath.
The scene there stole the breath from her lungs. The room was lit by dozens of flickering candles. JC was sitting in the huge tub, rose petals covering the surface of the water.
"Happy Birthday, Alli," he murmured.
"It is now." Shock still rooted her in place.
JC grinned. It wasn't often he could surprise his clever girl. He had made these plans weeks ago and it had been hard not to tip his hand. Then his eyes dropped to where the gown exposed her belly ring. His body's reaction was immediate. "The second I saw that gown, I knew I had to get it for you.”
"It's lovely. Thank you."
"Alli?"
"Hmm?…"
"You gonna stand over there or join me?"
At his words, Allison found her feet. She closed the door, then moved to the side of the tub. The moment she was within reach, JC leaned close to plant a ring of kisses around her navel before dipping his tongue into it, making her gasp a little.
"Like the gown, but I love what's beneath it. Lose the gown, baby."
Allison sensually lifted the hem of the garment inch by inch.
"Cut it out," he grumbled. "I've been without you too long to be teased."
"Oh, I should be in a hurry like you always are?" she taunted. In imitation of how he usually tore out of his clothes, she whipped the gown over her head and tossed it to the floor.
JC laughed. "Much better." Holding out a hand to her, he waited for her hand. "Get in."
The intoxicating scent of the petals rose from the warm water as he guided her to sit astride his legs. "You certainly improved my day," she told him honestly.
"I'm glad." He dropped light kisses all over her face – everywhere but where she wanted his mouth! "You did believe I'd forgotten, didn't you?"
"Yes," she confessed softly.
"I would never forget something as important as your birthday, Alli." He dropped a kiss on her nose. "It's an important day in my life, too." He had met Allison on her birthday three years earlier. It was a memory he'd always cherish. She'd been a challenge from day one. Who knew such a young woman knew how to be so mysterious and alluring? She hadn't readily fallen at his feet simply because he was JC Chasez of *NSYNC. Allison had required effort and that effort had made her worth knowing.
"How did you manage to get away?" she asked. She knew leaving during a tour – especially as far away as Europe wasn't an easy thing.
"I demanded it from the beginning. I said I wouldn't do anything that prevented me from being with you tonight."
His statement awed and humbled Allison. It meant he cared that much! "JC?"
"Yeah?"
"Stop messing around and kiss me already."
"Yes, ma'am!" he chuckled before his mouth closed over hers.
The kiss started out soft and sweet, then she slid her hands into his longish hair to urge him on. Parting her lips, she felt the sensuous glide of his tongue on hers; she joined in the mating dance with her own. JC's hands reached for her breasts, molding their shape with his hands, rubbing the pads of his thumbs over the hardening peaks. He drank in her gasps of pleasure. Allison broke off the kiss to trail damp, opened-mouth kisses across his cheek, along his jaw, and down his throat. Reaching the pulse point above his lion medallion, she sucked greedily.
"Damn, baby!" he moaned.
"Somebody down there missed me," she remarked as his male member stood at attention, poking against her belly, hard and ready.
"He more than missed you, baby girl. He's starved for you," he told her. "But he can wait. I want to pleasure you first."
"He does a pretty good job of that, " she reminded him breathlessly as his mouth took a similar journey to hers.
JC nipped lightly at the flesh where her neck met her shoulders, knowing full well it was on of her 'hotspots'. He continued to lick and suck at that area until she squirmed, moving her hips against him. He moved on, bending his head to the taut peaks of her breasts. He flicked his tongue at one before suckling strongly.
"Oh, Jace, that feels so good!"
He treated the twin to the same delicious torture as he sent his fingers down to tease her feminine slit.
"JC!" she gasped as he slid two fingers into her waiting warmth.
Feeling her grind against his hand, he taunted, "We're impatient, aren't we?"
"Don't tease," she commanded hotly.
"Who me?" The evil glint in his deep blue eyes could not be missed. "Get up."
"Wha?…" she protested as he removed his hand and lifted her from his lap.
JC rose from the tub and stepped out. Rose petals were clinging to the most interesting places, Allison noted. Despite the fact he had broken her sensual haze, she had to admire the lean muscled torso and limbs presented for her viewing enjoyment. What a birthday present! – And it was all hers!
JC grabbed two thick, fluffy bath sheets and laid them out on the floor. He cocked an eyebrow in her direction. "Getting any ideas?"
She gave him one of her patented 'woman of mystery' smiles and huskily replied, "A couple."
Rising from the water, she stepped out and on to the towels directly in front of him. She circled each of his flat nipples with her tongue until they stood at attention, then she moved her lips down his treasure trail as she dropped to her knees.
JC groaned as her mouth caressed the sensitive flesh of his abs. "Baby, it's your birthday," he protested mildly. It felt too damned good to demand she stop!
"And you're gonna be my present." Her lips worked down his shaft from base to tip. A dribble escapes the tip, so she licked it up.
"God, baby girl!"
Allison cupped his sacs, giving them a gentle squeeze as she continued to swirl her tongue around his swollen head.
"Alli, please…" He thrust his hips towards her. "Take it, baby. You do it so good."
She knew exactly what he wanted – what she wanted as well. Taking him into her mouth, she swallowed to deep-throat him. She felt his hands move to hold her head as she sucked on his thick shaft.
"Oh, baby, yeah…Alli, that feels so great…" JC fairly purred with pleasure. When he grew close to release, his hands tightened on her skull as he thrust against the back of her throat. "Harder, baby," he growled. "Baby girl, I'm gonna – Ah…Damn!" he shouted as he exploded down her throat.
It took several moments to recover, then JC looked down at her, her Cheshire cat grin was readily recognizable in the glow of candlelight. "My turn," he announced.
Joining her on the floor, he stretched them out of the big towels. "I love your body," he murmured as he lowered his mouth to one puckered nipple. One hand sought the hidden treasure between her legs. She was wet and ready for him now, but he had other plans. Bringing his hand back, he smeared her juices over the opposite breast, then licked and suckled at that one. She moaned at the carnal display. "You taste so good, Alli. Sweet and musky. Hot and delicious." His mouth made a path to her belly ring, the subtle flavor of roses adding extra sweetness to her skin's own delicate flavor. With his teeth, he gently tugged at the ring. This had been one of her surprises on his return from tour one year. The thought of a needle would have made him pass out! But on her – oh, God, how sexy! He swirled his tongue into her belly button.
"JC, please!"
"I'm getting there," he chuckled, then sent a hand to stroke her inner thighs. He rained kisses over her soft stomach, then moved lower – where she wanted him. Teasing her slit with his tongue, he waited until her petals parted to invite him in.
"Oh, Jace, yes!" she cried out when he repeatedly thrust his tongue into her waiting heat. "Baby…"
JC moved to kneel between her thighs, lifting her from the floor as he put one slender leg over each shoulder until her rump rested against his chest. Allison's womanly treasure was open for his feasting delight as he moved his hands to gently pinch and tease her hard nipples. He worked his tongue in and out until her pleasure button revealed itself from its protective hood. He flicked it with his tongue.
"Josh!" she gasped.
God, it made him wild when she called him that! – And she only did it when she was lost in the moment. JC sucked and nibbled tenderly at her most sensitive flesh until she was whimpering helplessly.
"Please, baby, I need you," Allison begged. "I need you in me – now!"
"But I—"
"Now!"
"I'm not done—"
"Now, Josh!" she commanded.
Lowering her legs, he moved above her. He plunged into her heat. "Oh, God, Alli!"
Allison wrapped her legs around him to force him even deeper. She loved the way he filled her, the way he stretched her. Opening her eyes, she met his hot blue gaze. "You gonna just lay there – or are you planning to do anything with that pole that you stuck between my legs?" she taunted as she arched up against him.
He dropped a teasing kiss on her nose. "You are such a little bitch some times," he laughed and began thrusting into her hard and fast, the way she liked it, slamming their hips together.
"Oh, baby, yes!" she cried. "Only you—"
"C'mon, Alli, let me see you fly!" JC urged as he felt her go tense beneath him. "I wanna see you, baby girl."
He was pounding her into the floor, but she didn't care. All she wanted was what he was giving her! "Josh!" Her nails dug into his back as she went spiraling into the vortex of ultimate rapture.
"I'm with you, baby!" he groaned as he buried himself in her one last time, splashing his essence within her clenching walls. "Damn!"
Once JC could breathe again, he lifted himself from her sated body to lie beside her. He brushed her cheek with gentle fingertips. "Ya know, it just keeps getting better," he murmured in awe. "How can that be?"
Allison gave him a woman's secret smile. Men never understood some things. "Because it's so right."
"Yeah." He kissed her softly. "Wanna finish your bath now?"
"Mmm-hmm. Think you can behave?"
JC laughed. "Probably not."
Allison grinned. "Oh, goodie!”
