Sing a Song of Love

by O'Grady, Sian

  “Alright the cars are waiting around the back. Don’t head out without security as there is still a lot of people out there. We don’t want a stampede or anything as I think you boys may have broken a few girls’ hearts tonight!”

  Josh looked interested in that, “Really?”

  Robbie gave him a clap on the back, “Yeh don’t you remember the movie Almost Famous, and all the hot groupies. Even the ugly ones get lucky!”

  Josh gave him a good natured shove as they walked back stage and I could hear them continue their banter.

  Josh at six foot two was almost as tall as me and definitely as broad and was anything but ugly. He looked older than his years and like most Highland men was hairy so always had a hint of five o clock stubble.

  Lance was the same; tall and broad with dark features and the same blue eyes as me. He was just a cleaner version without the tats.

  Then there was Robbie who was small boned and fair. He was still tall but without the broadness of the other two and had the most liquid brown eyes. Alina always said if Robbie had been a dog he would have been a cocker spaniel as he was just so adorable and if he had a tail it would have been constantly wagging! He always had the lion’s share of the girls though which I had found amusing over the years.

  I had organised an after party at a local bar and we set off once everyone was ready. I was disappointed to see that Jess had chosen to travel with Dazz as I had been hoping to clear the air prior to getting there.

  As we walked into the bar a cheer went up and someone popped the cork on a bottle of champagne. As soon as everyone had a glass I made a toast to the boys and thanked all the crew for their hard work and then made an excuse to slip away. I really wanted to catch up with Jessie.

  I had felt such conviction after talking to Alina that our current path was the correct one but after tonight all I wanted to do was share what I was feeling with someone. And that person was Jessie.

  I saw her at the corner of the bar chatting to Dazz and a few other roadies and felt a wave of jealousy surge up. I fought it down and managed to civilly ask for a moment alone with Jess.

  I grabbed her drink before she could say anything and lead her over to a quiet table.

  “Jess about this morning that was out of line. I was being a total ass.”

  Jess who had been looking apprehensive gave me a half smile at this but didn’t say anything. Seems I would have to do better than that!

  “I just can’t bear the thought of any other guy having their hands on you which is ridiculous as it’s not like I have any claim. Can you forgive me?”

  Jessie finally looked up at me with those beautiful, expressive hazel eyes. I could see the hurt I had caused with my words but I could tell by her smile it was going to be ok. She just didn’t have a mean bone in her body and lucky for me she didn’t hold grudges.

  “You were a total ass but Dazz said you had been a grumpy shit all day and it was pretty normal for the big cheese to be like that on opening night. Just don’t take it out on me again.”

  Jessie was doing her best to do school mam stern but she looked way to happy to pull it off. I couldn’t resist and I leant over and gave her kiss. I had missed those generous, warm lips and I wished we were anywhere but here.

  Jessie pulled away first and looked confused.

  “Is that wise?”

  “Probably not, but I’m feeling anything but wise right now. In fact all I want to do is get you alone so I can tell you again how sorry I am.”

  “You are incorrigible; you know we are supposed to be keeping this professional.” Jessie looked torn and I almost felt sorry for putting her in this position but not enough to stop what I was doing.

  “Professional is so boring!” And I let my hands wander up her thigh under the table pushing her skirt up as I went. I stopped at the very top of her leg and moved my thumb slowly back and forwards over her knickers and was glad to see her eyes dilute in pleasure.

  “Watching you on stage has left me with no sense.” I could feel her hips start to squirm under my touch and the wetness of her arousal but I was powerless to stop.

  “Mack you have to stop that. People will see.”

  “Only if you are noisy,” and I grinned at her wickedly, “but we can make our excuses if you prefer?”

  “But it’s your nephews’ party you can’t leave yet?”

  Jessie did have a point there but I didn’t want her to cool off and her resolve about not fraternising to return. All I knew was that I wanted to end the best night of my life with her in my bed.

  “How about we give it an hour and then we make our excuses?”

  “This is madness Mack. I thought we had been through this.”

  My hand which had been behaving slipped under the elastic of her knickers and dipped into her wetness before finding her clit and I felt her thighs grip my hand in protest.

  “Mack this is unfair. And that feels so good. You have to stop or I won’t even give you an hour!”

  I beamed at her capitulation and gave her another kiss before I withdrew my hand and I could feel my own desire hard in my pants.

  “Do you want to dance?” I didn’t want to stop touching her and dancing seemed like a legitimate way of being able to continue this in public.

  Jessie smiled and nodded and I led her to the dance floor which was already full of happy party goers. I had always loved after parties at the end of a successful concert. The vibe was contagious.

  I saw Robbie dancing with a pretty red head and gave him a wink before I drew Jessie into my arms and forgot everything else. It was so good to feel her body next to mine and smell her familiar scent once more. I couldn’t believe how much I had missed her over the last ten days.

  “Has anyone ever told you how good you smell Jessie?”

  I could feel rather than hear Jessie laughing as she lifted her head to look at me.

  “Are you smelling me Mack? That is so unsexy?” Her nose was all scrunched up as she looked at me doubtfully and I couldn’t help but kiss the tip of it.

  “I’ll be doing more than smelling you shortly you little minx,” I whispered in her ear as I pulled her in even closer.

  When the song finished we went to find Lance and Josh and saw them up at the bar with Cam. They were still dissecting their performance and talking about what they could do to make it better.

  “Do you boys ever clock off. You’re supposed to be enjoying your party not talking shop!”

  “That was such a buzz I can’t think of anything else. And I can’t wait for the next concert!” I smiled at Lance’s enthusiasm and part of me was glad he was so caught up in the performance and that all the trimmings that come with being a rock star were of secondary importance. I would hate for fame to change him.

  “Well your wish is granted as tomorrow its Dunedin. I’m going to turn in soon so you may want to keep an eye on Casanova and make sure he gets some sleep tonight!”

  Lance and Josh laughed at that.

  “Don’t worry captain, I will make sure they all get to bed at a decent hour,” said Cam, giving me a pat on the back, “even our princess here.”

  Jessie gave his ear a playful tweak, “It’s usually me making sure you get to bed. Anyway I’m turning in too. I’m pooped.”

  “Do you want to share a taxi back?” I asked Jessie innocently and like a true actress she played along.

  Soon as we got into the taxi I pulled her to me and tucked her under my arm. The Proclaimers were playing on the radio and I started to sing ‘I would walk five hundred miles’ into her ear. My breath must have been tickling her as she started to giggle and squirm and I pulled her in even closer.

  “Do you know how wonderful you are?”

  “No but I like hearing you say so!” She had stopped giggling and looked up at me with those eyes that made time stand still. I leant down and gently kissed those lips and wondered how I was going to make this work.

  The taxi pulling up outside our hotel broke the moment and aft
er paying the fee we made our way up to my room which was very conveniently located next to hers with connecting doors. A man has to be prepared!

  After closing the door I pulled her to me and started to slowly kiss her face and her neck as I undid her buttons. Every time I exposed more skin I honoured it with kisses until she was naked in front of me.

  She had the body of a Madonna, all creamy pale with beautiful curves and full hips and breasts. I pulled the pins out of her hair and let it cascade down her shoulders and back.

  “I have never wanted anyone like the way I want you.”

  I took her hand and led her through to the shower and pulled my own clothes off before I joined her under the powerful shower jets. I lathered up the sponge and started to wash her as her own hands found the soap and started to wash my chest and back. A shower had never felt so good and after a few more minutes of taunting each other with this cleaning ritual my lips found hers and I felt all my pent up need surge up.

  My hands found her face as I kissed her deeply before dropping down and drawing her nipples one by one into my mouth. She held my head as she arched her back, letting me know how pleasurable it was and I dropped my hand to her thigh. With slow massaging circles I slowly made my way up her leg and was pleased when she opened her legs a little wider to allow me access. My hand found her mound and I started to rub it calculatingly so as not to bring her to orgasm too quickly. And every now and again I would let my fingers slip deep into her pussy causing her to moan deliciously.

  I was still nipple hopping when I felt her move. Her hands slid down me like she was on a pole guiding her lower until I felt her take my cock in her mouth. Looking down at her sucking me in and out was almost enough to make me come. It was so visual that I had to turn the shower off.

  “Too good?” she looked up at me grinning and I grinned back as she totally knew what she was doing to me.

  I grabbed a big soft towel and gentle started to dry her, kissing her as I went lower and lower until I finally got to the place I wanted to be. I pushed her against the wall and put her leg over my shoulder before dropping my mouth to her clit. She started to moan and I could feel how wet and turned on she was. I sucked her in deeper and deeper and then started to lick her firmly.

  She had me by the head with her hands entwined in my hair while mine were firmly cupped around her ass so as to pull her to my mouth as I stroked her with my tongue. I could feel her getting wetter and the breathing more ragged and I knew Jessie was about to come.

  I picked her up and carried her to the bed pushing her legs apart as I dropped between them. I quickly pulled on a condom and guided my throbbing dick into her pussy and was delighted at Jessie’s moans of appreciation. I pushed in slowly, letting her orgasm build once more while teasing her nipples back to hardness.

  As I quickened the tempo I lifted her legs up onto my shoulders and pushed in even deeper. I wet my thumb in her mouth so I could continue to massage her swollen clit. Jessie’s moans were getting louder and I could feel spurts of wetness on my hand and knew her orgasm had started. I didn’t need to be told twice and let myself go as well and after a few more deep strokes I exploded in a strong, long orgasm that was all the sweeter for having waited.

  I pulled the covers over us and drew her close. So much for our plan of avoidance!

  Jess

  I felt like a snowball rolling down a snowy mountain, picking up speed before the eminent crash. At the moment it was all about the thrill of the ride but my smarter half was thinking about what happened when we got to the bottom.

  Mack was stroking my hair while holding me close and it was easy to forget that when the tour ended so would we. But what was the alternative? Keep fighting the attraction and be miserable for six weeks and still be miserable when he left or embrace what we had and deal with the consequences at the end? I knew now that regardless of what choice I made I would still miss Mack when he left so option two just made more sense. I had always promised myself after losing Joe that I would live life to the full and here was my chance to do it.

  I turned slightly and faced Mack, “So when did you arrange for interconnecting rooms?”

  Mack looked a bit sheepish as he was considering his reply.

  “Last week I rang and altered the room plan. I know it looks bad and like I premeditated this but it’s like half of me wants to be a gentleman and the other half says to hell with it. Bad case of Jekyll and Hyde I’m sorry.”

  I gave him a lopsided grin, “Don’t worry I get it. My head has been playing the same games. Anyway this feels good.” And I snuggled back down enjoying, what for now, was mine.

  “Are all kiwi girls this easy going? You make my previous girlfriends look right stroppy!”

  I chuckled, “Maybe! So how is this going to work? I don’t want to deal with a thousand questions on this.”

  “Well I could keep organising interconnecting doors!”

  I turned to look at him again, “And you haven’t already?”

  “I knew it!” And I donked him with the closest pillow before starting to laugh. He really was insufferable!

  I had the best sleep that night and woke up feeling rested and ready for whatever the day would bring. Mack was already up and I could hear him on the phone talking in the next room. I looked at the clock and saw that it was nearly nine and jumped out of bed. Darn we were supposed to meeting in the lobby in forty minutes to travel to Dunedin.

  I zoomed to my room and hurriedly packed before jumping in the shower. I was just drying myself when I heard a low whistle from behind and turned to see Mack eyeing up my rear as he lazily lent on the frame of the door.

  “Don’t cover up on my behalf.”

  I reached up and gave him a morning kiss and was about to hurry off when he pulled me to him.

  “Not so quick sexy. It will be at least another ten hours before I get you all to myself again.”

  “Got to get ready Mack; you should have woke me earlier.”

  “Believe me I wanted to but I didn’t want to risk it in case you were one of those cranky morning people. Are you?” He looked interested in my reply.

  “Only when I’m running late!” I reached up on tip toes and gave him another quick kiss.

  “Anything I can do.”

  “Not really but thanks. I’ll meet you down in the lobby in twenty.”

  I managed to get everything done and was in the lift heading to the lobby right on schedule. When I hopped out I saw Cam waiting with Lance and wandered over.

  “Morning guys. How was the rest of the party?”

  “Josh and I left about an hour after you and Cam was left to make sure Robbie made it home in one piece!”

  I turned to look at Cam, “and did he?”

  Cam laughed, “Yeah I lured him away around two with promises that we would repeat it all again next weekend. Girl would be different but everything else the same!”

  Lance and I laughed. “And I thought Robbie was the quiet one!”

  “He has always loved the girls and the girls him!”

  I looked up to see Josh and Robbie walking over and considering his late night, Robbie didn’t look any the worse for wear.

  The flight to Dunedin was uneventful and by two we were checked in to the hotel which would be home for the three nights. I smiled as I saw the interconnecting door and felt a thrill of delight that I would get to see Mack again later. This new arrangement was definitely suiting me better!

  The next two concerts were an indoor event and were almost as amazing as the first one. There was a different atmosphere as the venue was smaller and more personal and in some ways I even liked it better. They had an area in front of the stage where there was room to dance and by the end of the concert it was a mush pit full of jiggling bodies. It was an absolute delight singing to such a receptive crowd and both nights were a resounding success.

  By Monday morning I was ready for a sleep in to recharge the batteries and didn’t head down to breakfast until almost ten. Mack ha
d already eaten and was catching up on emails when I left in the hope that we could spend the afternoon together. I had never been to Dunedin and I really wanted to visit the Otago peninsular where the seal and albatross colonies were.

  I saw Cam reading a newspaper over coffee and went to join him.

  “Morning, you had a sleep in too.”

  Cam put down the newspaper and looked up with a smile, “Hey Jess, sure did was knackered. So glad we have a down day and a bit of time to ourselves. Got any plans?”

  “Want to do a bit of sightseeing. How about you?”

  “Lance, Robbie and Josh want to go to St Clair beach for lunch and then soak in the Hot Salt Water Pools so I was thinking I would tag along with them. You want to come too?”

  “No I have already organised to go sightseeing with Mack as he was keen to see the penguin and albatross colonies too.”

  Cam’s eyebrows went up when I mentioned Mack’s name and I wondered if he had suspicions but if he did he thankfully kept them to himself.

  After breakfast I headed back to my room and went through the connecting doors to see Mack. He was totally immersed in whatever he was doing and didn’t look up so I crept over to surprise him. I was just about to hug him from behind when he swung around and grabbed me, pulling me onto his lap.

  Mack stopped my squeal of surprise with a kiss, “Nice try gorgeous! Good breakfast?” He had already slipped his hand under my shirt in his customary welcome and was talking to me as if nothing was up. Half of me wanted to succumb to the sensations but the other half wanted to make the most of this day of rest, so I jumped off his knee.

  “You are incorrigible Mack!”

  “Not my fault, it’s inbuilt into my genes!”

  I looked at Mack with a mixture of scepticism and confusion and he added, “That’s how the Highland men would keep their woman warm on the cold winter nights in the olden days. Hot, steamy sex! And lots of it! Heard of natural selection? Well we were given a high sex drive for survival reasons! And that’s why we are such great lovers; we have had a lot of practice!”
