Chapter 20

By the time she got back the meet and greet was winding down, and people were getting ready to head off to the after show party. She ambled over to the bar and got another coke, turning she watched each of the guys work the crowd, but her eyes always wandered back to David. He was laughing at something a woman was saying, then he had his arm about her and Mark was taking their picture. After he lent down and pecked her cheek and Lucky chuckled as the woman nearly swooned.

Yeah she knew that feeling well! She wondered what the rest of tonight would bring, and did she really want to sleep with him that fast? This was the question she’d been going over and over in the toilet, she still didn’t have an answer for herself! Yes she wanted him like no man on this planet, he pushed every single button she’d got, and some she never knew she did have. But would she sleep with the man or the rock star? Did she want to be a one night stand?

‘Why the frown?’

Lucky nearly dropped her glass, Richie had snuck up on her and now stood next to her mirroring her stance, arms on the bar, boot on the bar foot rest and watching the crowd.

‘Jesus Richie you’re light on your feet aren’t ya?’ She grinned at him, looking into brown eyes that had always been her second Jovi love. Christ they were even nicer in person.

‘Well, why the frown darlin?’ He’d noticed her come back in and people watch from the bar, she didn’t push herself back into David’s circle, she just watched him work. Then he noticed the frown appear while she watched him.

‘I started to think and that’s never good.’ She frowned again.

‘Wanna talk about it?’ He was dead serious, if he could help he would do, this was the happiest he’d seen David since his ex had done a hell of a number on him, he liked having happy Dave back again!

‘Nah, you don’t want this shit. Oh looks like it’s time for people to leave.’

‘Yeah, stay right there a minute.’ And he wandered off to say goodbye to the meet and greeters.

She sighed and hauled herself off the bar, and making her way to the door. Just as she started to go out she felt herself come to a sudden stop and being pulled backwards, ‘Where do you think you’re going?’ Richie had noticed her leaving and wondered what the fuck she was doing. He noticed as he yanked her back with the back of her jeans she’d got a tat there, ‘Aw hell you’ve got ink, let’s have a look!’ And he started to push the back of her jeans down.

Reaching back she slapped his hands away, futile gesture really, but least she’d tried, ‘Christ Richie, stop it!’ The last two words said at great volume as he continued to move her jeans out the way.

Deathly silence met it, and glancing up she realised everyone in the room was watching them, she blushed beet red, knowing it must look damn weird him pulling her jeans down!

‘Rich, bro, you better have a damn fine explanation for what you’re doing!’ David was amused but a little pissed too.

‘She was leaving; I stopped her, noticed she’d got ink back here and wanted to see what it was. Up to speed, now darlin where were we?’ The devilment in those eyes turned her to mush, several of her Jovi sisters would kill to be like this with him, and he started to move her jeans again.

‘You were going? Why?’ there was hurt in David’s eyes.

Leaning back she really thumped Richie in the arm that was holding her back, direct hit, she deadened it, and he released her. Richie bitched, the others laughed.

‘Try asking Richie and I may just have told you, you shmuck! David I was going to get on my hog and meet you there, or did you forget that I’d made my own way here?’

‘Well what is it, I can see notes, but damn woman come back here!’ he watched disgusted as she moved away from him and he couldn’t grab her again, she’d done a nice number on his arm, fuck!

‘No I didn’t forget, I just assumed you’d go with us and leave the bike here, or one of Mac’s boys could ride it over for you.’

‘Are you that blonde that you think I’ll leave it here? And I don’t let anyone drive my baby, he’s my baby!’ She rolled her eyes, put her hand on her hip and cocked it.


‘Fuck Dave have you learned nothing about bikes being around us?’ Jon asked, ‘You never leave your bike unless it’s an emergency, and even then it takes a whole hell of a lot to walk away. And Lucky, he?’

‘Yup it’s a he, because when I sit astride him he opens me up and then vibrates all through me!’ She smirked at the reactions she’d got with that little snippet. ‘So, if you don’t mind, I’m getting my baby and I’ll see you later.’

‘Oh hell I mind!’ David had that ‘I’m not letting you go’ look on him.

‘Well the only way is for you to either come with me, or get someone to take, not drive my baby for me.’

Jon snorted, David didn’t like bikes, he’d fallen off too many times to count. ‘Ok, you got a space helmet?’ Jon’s eyes near bugged out of his head, shit it must be love!

‘You’re serious?’ She didn’t believe it, and looking at the others and the looks they were giving him, neither did they!

‘Deadly, come on Lu, let’s go!’ He prayed he would stay on!

‘Lu?’

‘Hey, I’m trying out a pet name for you.’ He wrapped his arm about her neck, kissed her so she couldn’t yet object to her nick, and flicked off his brothers and headed out towards her baby, praying for balance and keepin his ass on the damn thing!

‘This I gotta fuckin see!’ Came from Jon, and the rest of them agreed, all following Lucky like lambs to the slaughter, David’s slaughter!
