Sweet Thang
“Can I get you to fly to Cali for the weekend?” JC asked Friday evening.
“Josh, you won’t have time for me. You’re booked solid.” She had seen his tour schedule. He had done sixteen cities in the last eighteen days! He was driving himself into the ground promoting his record and it still struggled for sales. Okay, so it was not like his *NSYNC sound, but he deserved to be heard.
“I know it’ll be nuts, honey. I just need to see you. I know it’s a lot to ask…”
“Josh, it isn’t that. I don’t want you wasting any time on me.”
“Honey, time spent with you is never a waste. It recharges me.”
“It’s a lot of money for…”
“Money isn’t an issue and you know it.”
She didn’t want to say it messed with her schedule.
“Please, Shauna?”
“This from the man who tried to get rid of me when we met,” she taunted.
“I was way wrong. I admit it. You’re my sweet baby girl and I want you with me.”
“If only for a few hours?”
“If that’s all we can grab.”
“Okay, but just this once. I can’t make a habit out of this.”
“Shauna!” JC grabbed her up in an enthusiastic hug the moment he saw her. Burying his face in her neck, he inhaled the clean, baby powder scent of her. “Oh, God, baby. I’ve missed you so much!”
“It’s only been two weeks.”
Lifting his head, he cupped the side of her face, gazing at her adoringly. “Two weeks too long.” Well aware others were beginning to take great interest in them, he guided her into his trailer/dressing room. Once behind closed doors, he kissed her long, slow and sensuously. Her mouth was a feast and he was a starving man. He intended to savor every moment.
Shauna was ready to turn into a plume of steam by the time he released her lips. “Oh, wow!” she said breathlessly as his mouth made a foray down the side of her neck.
“You’re delicious,” he purred silkily.
“Umm – I – uh – here?” she asked as he nudged the thin strap of her sundress off her shoulder with his nose, baring it for his mouth.
“No, not right now.” His teeth nipped at her earlobe before he sucked on it. “I just want to touch you…kiss you.”
Her knees turned to jelly, only the hard arm around her kept her upright. Deciding to join in the seduction, she ran her hands beneath his pink t-shirt, caressing his flat belly and lean ribs. His body was perfect. Lean and hard. She loved his muscular arms and legs; they made him deceptively strong.
JC groaned when her hands went higher and her fingers found his nipples. Stroking them repeatedly with her light touch, she was making him crazy.
“You started this, Chasez,” she reminded him.
“You’re gonna be sore when I get through with you tonight,” he promised hotly. “I’m gonna love on you ‘til dawn. I had Lonnie get the biggest fucking box of condoms he could find.”
“We won’t need them,” she whispered before she ran her tongue along the shell of his ear.
JC trembled, forgetting to ask what she meant by her statement.
“JC!” It was Lonnie rapping at the door. “Time!”
“Dammit!” Releasing Shauna, he took several deep breaths to calm his aroused body. “Be prepared to clarify that statement,” he warned.
“Can I come, too?”
“Backstage, yeah.” Grabbing her hand he left the trailer.
The moment JC came off the stage, he scanned the area for Shauna. She was chatting with some guy who was eating her up with his eyes. Not his baby! “Shauna!”
“Josh!”
A split second later his arms were filled with the sweetest thing this side of heaven.
“You were wonderful, darling!” she cheered.
He laughed. “I’m getting you all sweaty.”
“Like I care? I like you all sweaty and manly smelling. You know you make me and thousands of other women horny when you do that song,” she declared impishly.
He was probably grinning like an idiot. Shauna was actually flirting with him even though he was a sure thing. She was light-hearted and sexy – and he fell all over again. “You’re the only one I want to make horny, sweet thang.”
“Yeah, but in those pants every other woman can see what you’ve got,” she said of the white pants he wore to perform “All Day Long I Dream About Sex”. They showed his manly endowments quite clearly.
“Well, who was sexing me up before the show?”
“As I recall, it was mutual.”
He rubbed his lips over hers. “Yeah. Wanna finish what we started?” he asked lowly.
The smoky look she gave him could have melted rock – and he wasn’t that strong. “Uh-huh.”
They ran back to the trailer like the hounds from hell were pursuing them. Lonnie protested loudly, thundering after them. Once alone again, JC leaned against the door and pulled Shauna to him. They shared hungry, desperate kisses, taking turns being the aggressor. Her hands were under his shirt once more, making him crazy all over again. He grabbed bunches of fabric so his hands could find her buttocks. Damn! She wore a barely there thong, exposing the satiny globes of her bottom to his greedy touch.
“I need to grab a shower,” he murmured when her mouth trailed down the salty skin of his throat.
“We can do that.”
“Umm…we?”
“Unless both of us won’t fit.”
Coherent thought battled with lust when she lifted his shirt to lap at his nipples. Oh, God, she was making him so damned hot; he was ready to explode. “I – umm – yeah, it’s big enough for two.” “Uh!” he gasped. Her perfect teeth tugged gently on one nipple.
Shauna’s mouth moved lower. Before he could protest her loss, she was on her knees, opening his pants. “That doesn’t look comfortable,” she commiserated. She peeled the pants and shorts down, freeing his engorged manhood.
JC shivered as she gently held him aside so she could lick and run her lips over the sac that lay behind. “You little witch,” he moaned. She had never done this with him before; they hadn’t had time really. Still holding him, she swirled her tongue around the purple head, making him gasp. Nibbling kisses were pressed up and down the hard length until she finally took him in her mouth. Reaching down, he slid his fingers into her hair, encouraging her in a strained voice. “Oh, yeah, honey…good…so damn good…” Her mouth moved up and down, licking and sucking, pleasuring him beyond all reason. Each moment brought him closer…soon…soon he would… “Shauna!” he cried as he exploded.
Releasing him, Shauna gave him a sweet nuzzle before sitting back on her heels. She watched him as aftershocks rippled through him. His eyes were closed as if he relished every last one. She gave him a smile when he finally gazed down at her. “Hi.”
“Hey, honey.”
Moving to her feet, she gave him another smile.
“C’mere.” He held her close. “Thank you.”
“Thank me?”
“That was fantastic and unselfish.”
“I like doing that for you.”
“Any time you want, feel free to avail yourself of my dick.”
She giggled at his rather formal-sounding words ending in the word “dick”.
JC suddenly changed the subject. “What in the hell do you mean we don’t need condoms?”
“You know we talked about how long it’s been for both of us…monogamy…and both being clean…”
“Uh-huh.” It had been one of those late night conversations he enjoyed so much.
“Well, I decided to go on the pill.”
Like nearly every other male, he wasn’t wild about using condoms, but it was the right thing to do. Shauna was putting her faith in him. She was saying… “You trust me.” He was awed and humbled.
“Yes, I trust you.”
“But do you love me?” he queried.
“Josh…”
“I love you Shauna,” he stated, thinking she may need to hear the words from him first. “I love you so much…”
Eyes sparkling, she gazed into his eyes. “Yes, I love you, Joshua,” she said softly.
He released the breath he hadn’t been aware he’d been holding. “I hoped you felt the same way.”
“I don’t go around sucking dicks of men I don’t love,” she quipped.
He laughed. “Good thing to know.”
She eased away from him. “You’d better get that shower.”
“Join me?”
She shook her head. “I’ll wait.”
Shauna tried not to stare at the celebrities milling around the crowded room. It was difficult to nonchalantly sip champagne when some of her favorite stars were just an arm’s length away. She’d never thought of JC as a celebrity – he was ‘Josh’ to her. But this was the social circle he moved in. She was truly anonymous here.
JC referred to her as “honey” and “baby” purposely. He told her by remaining nameless, it would hopefully keep people from digging into her business. For the most part he endeavored to keep his private life private and she appreciated the effort. JC hadn’t wanted to expose Shauna to the paparazzi but he hadn’t wanted to leave her sitting in a hotel room awaiting his return either. He planned on making his expected appearance here and then whisking her away to make love to her all night.
His gut clenched when he saw a handsome actor zero in on Shauna. He’d never felt such gnawing jealousy – and she never did anything to make him feel this way. “Ready to go home, honey?” JC asked as he put a possessive arm around Shauna. He flicked a look at the actor the said “hands off” as clearly as if he had spoken the words aloud.
“I’m ready whenever you are,” she replied with a smile.
“Let’s go then.”
Lonnie fell into step behind them until they reached the door. Then the big man took the lead, asking the valet for the car.
“Josh, can I ask you a question?”
“Anything.”
“You have a house here in LA, right?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Then why are we staying in a hotel?”
It probably did seem strange to her. “Because I haven’t been there in awhile. I don’t want to open it up for just one night. It’s just easier to stay in a hotel.”
With a sigh, she nodded. She’d never understand all the rules of celebrity. As much as she enjoyed his performances, she didn’t know how he could sleep in a different bed every night, not having his things around him.
“It’s complicated, baby.” JC gave her a comforting squeeze.
“I wouldn’t want you life for all the tea in China,” she murmured.
“I don’t want you to have my life, Shauna. I want you to share it.”
Share his life? How was that going to happen?
At that moment, the valet arrived with the car.
“C’mon, honey. Let’s get to bed.”
