Chapter 20
Chapter Twenty
Cynda…
The sun shining across my face woke me up.
I turned to look at the clock and every muscle in my body ached like I’d been run over by a bus.
Shit. The memories of last night came flooding back.
We’d taken turns waking each other up most of the night.
I’d lost track of how many orgasms I’d had but obviously my body hadn’t.
I’d been a wild woman, and I knew my cheeks had to be bright pink just thinking about it.
At least my inner sex fiend seemed satisfied—for now.
The bus didn’t sound like anyone was awake but they had to be.
The clock said eleven twenty-two a.m. And I was alone in bed.
Damn I never sleep so long, but then again I bet we didn’t get more than two hours of sleep all night.
Yawning, the need for coffee was almost overwhelming.
As soon as the thought crossed my mind the door slid open and Chaos appeared looking sexy as hell and juggling two mugs of coffee and a bag that said doughnuts.
“Wow my knight in torn jeans.” I giggled as I took one of the mugs from him. Inhaling the glorious scent of coffee, I took a long drink. Damn, he’d even made it right. It was just sweet enough without being too sweet. “Thank you.”
He smiled and sat down on the bed while sipping his coffee. “You’re welcome. How are you?”
“Kind of sore, actually.”
“I figured you’d be. You don’t have a guy do you?”
“No. Hell, if I did I wouldn’t have gotten in bed with you.”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. I just meant it didn’t seem like you had sex lately.”
The color charged into my cheeks full steam ahead. Shit, could I be any more embarrassed? Doubtful. “No, I don’t have anyone I’m seeing right now. But I’m not a virgin either.”
He smiled and ran his finger across my cheek before pushing my hair behind my ear. Ugh. I hadn’t brushed my teeth or my hair. I bet I look amazing—not.
“Don’t worry about it. I didn’t want you hurting too badly today. We have some…”
“I don’t want your drugs.”
“I was going to say aspirin. We don’t do drugs. Well Rage did, but he doesn’t anymore.”
Easy Cyn, you’re all up his ass this morning. Nerves are one thing but you don’t want to be bitchy. But no drugs? I doubted I hid my surprised reaction. Rock band and no drugs? Is that even possible? Didn’t they all do them? “Sorry. I’m just a little antsy this morning.”
“Don’t be, baby. It’s all good. Last night was fucking amazing. You take my breath away.”
Okay if he kept saying stuff like that, I was never going to stop blushing. I wasn’t used to talking about sex, or having it either. “Thanks. I think.”
“I know,” he said with a wolfish grin on his face, making me think of Little Red Riding Hood about to be eaten by the big bad wolf.
“I guess they all know,” I said, nodding my head toward the door.
“Yeah, but they don’t care, and Wrath had a friend sleep over…so you’re not the only woman on the bus right now.”
“Really?” What would she be like?
“Oh and Flame went to stay with Michelle. I’m starting to wonder about him.”
“Really? Damn she’s staying at my place and cat sitting, so I guess they’re there.”
“Figures, he gets to see your place before I do.”
Now that was a surprise. “You want to see my place?”
“Yeah, why not?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t know what was going to happen.”
He took my hand, his callused thumb rubbing circles on the back. “I don’t either, but I’m willing to see where it goes if you are. I’ll tell you now I’m not into commitments, but the thought of never seeing you again isn’t an option either.”
I didn’t know what to say, not in my wildest dreams did I think he’d say that, and after one night together? Was he trying me to keep me in his bed, or was he serious?
“Okay…” I didn’t know what to say.
“You don’t have to decide now. You can think about it while we do these next few shows.”
I nodded, and took a long drink of coffee. My mind was going in twelve different directions. What kind of a relationship could we have with him on tour all the time? I wanted a family, children, and a stable home someday.
Needing time to think, I changed the subject. “So what’s Wrath’s girl’s name?”
“Sapphire.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah, she’s one of the groupies from last night, you might have seen her. She has bright blue hair, brighter than your streaks.”
I thought about it and remembered seeing her in the hall after the show. She was with all the others but didn’t look like she really fit in. Interesting Wrath would pick her out of all the skanks he had to choose from.
“Do the guys bring girls back a lot?”
“Sometimes, depends on their mood I guess. More when we’re staying in hotels, not so much on the bus. When we get to the next stop we’ll be there for three days and stay in a hotel instead of the bus.”
“I think I need to shower and get dressed, I can’t believe I slept so late.”
“It’s not a big deal. Everyone did. And we don’t have a fuckin’ thing to do today until tonight, except for fucking,” he said, waggling his eyebrows at me.
“You’re bad. Didn’t you get enough last night?” I answered as I pulled out clothes and my shower stuff.
“Fuck, woman. I’m a man, enough isn’t in our vocabulary.”
Leaving him laughing in bed, I slipped into the bathroom without anyone else seeing me. It didn’t matter what he said, I didn’t want them to see the hot mess I had to be. Looking in the mirror it was so much worse than I’d imagined too. How he hadn’t laughed his ass off looking at me I didn’t know.
My hair was standing up all over my head, blue streaks and all.
My bangs were pushed all over. My lips looked little swollen, and holy shit I had a hickey on my neck.
Damn. I don’t even remember him biting me.
I took off his t-shirt and looked at the rest of my body.
There were bite marks everywhere. Nothing huge, just little marks from my shoulders to my thighs. Thank God my clothes would cover them.
The heat from the shower helped relax my tight muscles.
We’d actually made love all night long. I’d never done that before, read about it in books yeah, but always wondered if it could really happen.
Michelle would to freak when I told her.
Yeah, and what was up with her and Flame.
Two nights together? We were going to Virginia for the next stop on the tour, too far away to see him, and I hoped she’d be okay.
Stepping out of the shower, I heard Chaos talking to everyone in the kitchen area. I put on some make-up, dressed and dried my hair. Taking a last look in the mirror I looked like I’d had sex all night, but maybe no one would notice.
I put my stuff in his room then met up with everyone in the kitchen.
“Morning.”
Chaos turned around and pulled me closer, wrapping his arm around me. I wasn’t sure it was such a good idea but no one else seemed to notice.
“Cynda meet Sapphire.”
“Hi.
Sapphire looked like she’d had quite a night too, her neck was covered in bites, and her voice was sort of raspy. “Hey there.”
Fury and Rage were arguing over something on the TV and I went to get more coffee. My stomach grumbled and Chaos followed me to the coffeemaker.
“Do you want something to eat? We still have the doughnuts.”
“No that’s okay. I’m fine, really. Coffee’s good.”
“Fuck that. Your stomach’s growling.” He disappeared toward the back of the bus and came back with the doughnut bag. Thankfully there was a plain one with cinnamon and sugar.
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.” Then he kissed me. It started out innocent enough, but then he slid his tongue between my lips. Thankfully I’d put my mug on the counter or I’d have dropped it when I wrapped my fingers in his hair. The guys started clapping, and he pulled back with a devilish grin on his face.
I wanted to slap him. Damn. What could I do? So I turned toward the group and bowed. “Thanks.”
Everyone laughed and I breathed a sigh of relief. I really hated being the center of attention, but I’d just slept with one of the most famous guitar players ever. So much for no limelight.
