LessonsNC17

As she walked quietly into the auditorium, Caroline Damon looked around at the mass of teenage girls. She’d worked for the record company for nearly ten years and they’d sent her out to listen to a fairly new band who were getting ready to release their second album. She’d only heard about them two nights before, so she had very little information about them.

In the record business, they called her the Succubus because of her rumored habit of seducing the talent she was listening to. In truth, she was much choosier than they thought. She merely had a ferocious sexual appetite and satisfied it by sleeping with whom she choose. And she usually choose musicians. Inevitably, musicians she sleep with seemed to go on to big a huge success.

She walked over to the band’s manager and said without preamble, “I’d better not be wasting my time here.”

“You’re not. These kids will blow you away.” He laughed and asked, “When have I ever let you down?”

“Don’t ask that or I’ll leave right now!” she snapped. “When’d you start getting your acts out of grade school, anyway?”

“Don’t worry, these kids are terrific,” Peter assured her.

“Is it true that none of them are even twenty-one?” she asked in a voice that clearly said she hoped she’d heard wrong.

“Well, Joe is going to be twenty-two pretty soon, but just watch them, okay? I mean, look at these girls! They’re practically wetting their seats to see these guys onstage,” Peter pleaded.

“Teenage girls are known for going crazy over next to nothing, Peter,” she said disdainfully. Just then, a short young man with dark curly hair walked out onstage. Several of the girls squealed as they saw him.

“Who the fuck’s that?” Caroline asked, dismayed. “One of their crew?”

“No,” said Peter, shrinking back into his seat, “that’s one of their guitar players.”

“Ah, Christ, I’m outta here,” she said as she rose to go. Then the screams got louder as a thin young man with white blond hair came out. He strapped on a guitar and started checking the equipment. She turned back towards Peter and asked, “Another guitarist?”

“Yeah, that’s Steve,” Peter said. The look in her eyes told him there was still some hope.

“Tell me he can actually play that thing half as good as he looks and I’ll stay,” she said quickly.

“He plays it BETTER than he looks. He’s amazing!” Peter said enthusiastically.

She walked back over to the chair and sat back down, pulling her leather mini skirt down over the top of her thighs.

A very young man with curly hair walked out in nothing but a pair of running shorts. “Jesus, he’s a fucking baby!” she exclaimed. “A good looking one, but still! Please tell me he’s the youngest one.”

“Yeah, Rick’s the baby of the group. He’s seventeen. Don’t worry though, you don’t see much of him cuz he’s the drummer,” Peter added quickly.

A few minutes later, a rather tall man with dark curly hair falling to his shoulders swaggered out on stage. Some of the girls sounded near to fainting when they saw him. “Let me guess,” Caroline said with a laugh, ”from the way he walked out on that stage, I’d guess he’s the lead singer.” She crossed her long legs, suddenly all attention. This one had some serious potential. Peter answered, “Yeah, that’s him.”

Out of the blue, Peter remembered being warned, “She’ll eat those kids of yours for breakfast and go looking for seconds.” He was about to say something to her about Joe as the last member of the band walked out on stage and picked up the bass guitar. Caroline forgot any attempt at being aloof as she whispered, “Who the fuck is the brunette with the sprayed on pants?” She leaned forward and said, “Those pants alone ought to sell a few thousand records!”

“That’s Sav. His real name is Rick Savage, but his mates all call him Sav,” Peter rambled as Caroline ignored him.

“I’d like to savage him,” she whispered. “Or that tall drink of water behind the microphone stand!”

The boys got into position and started to play, sending their fans into a frenzy. Caroline watch them prance around the stage with an experienced eye. These boys were going to be huge! Caroline fingered the low V of her neckline furiously. These ‘boys’ had her squirming in her seat as badly as the girls in the audience. That was quite an accomplishment!

When they broke for lunch, Peter took her over to introduce her to the band. The guitarists and drummer were sitting in folding chairs gulping down their lunch, while the singer and bassist had pulled up a chunk of the floor to sit on. As Peter walked up, he said, “Guys, this is Caroline Damon. She works for the record company.

They all started to stand, but Caroline waved them back down. Peter introduced her to Pete Willis first, though Caroline barely paid attention to him before turning to the drummer. Rick Allen stuck out his hand after brushing the crumbs of his lunch off. He said in a polite voice, “Nice to meet you.” Caroline could still high school in his voice. She returned his smile warmly before Peter introduced Steve Clark. Setting down his beer, he shook her hand almost shyly.

She walked over and stood directly in front of the other two band members. Peter introduced Joe Elliott first and Caroline bent over to shake his hand, giving him a full view of the firm tits beneath her blouse. She gave him a smile that would have knocked him on his ass had he been standing. Caroline noticed Rick and Steve both lean around to get a look at her tight round ass as she bent over to Joe. Then she turned to the last band member. Peter said, “And, Caroline, this is Rick Savage.”

“Please, everybody calls me Sav,” he said in a deep melodic voice that sounded, surprisingly enough, shy. As she bent to take his hand, he had the same view down her shirt that Joe had gotten seconds before. Another surprise awaited Caroline as she saw a blush creep up into his face. But his eyes stayed locked on her chest until she stood up. She looked over the other band members before returning to Joe and Sav. She stared at the two of them and said, “You guys realize how good you are?”

“Thank you,” said Joe quietly.

She pulled up a box next across from Joe and Sav and sat down, crossing her legs slowly and watching as both their eyes, as well as Steve’s, followed every move she made. “The songs are terrific, but you’ve already been told that, I’m sure.” All five of them nodded. “But what I think is one of your stronger points is performing live. I’ve never seen a band like you guys!” Steve and Rick pulled their chairs closer to her as Pete got up and went for another beer. She extended her legs and crossed them the other direction, seeing all four of them shift in their seats. Before she continued, she made sure to look both Joe and Sav over completely with a slow, lingering gaze. “You’ve got real energy out there! And those girls are going crazy. Hell, I was sweating and I’ve seen the best of them before!” She licked her lips as she looked them over again. Pete still hadn’t returned, so she went on without him. “Rick, the drums sound excellent! Steve, the only person I’ve seen handle a guitar better is Jimmy Page. Keep it up! The shape throwing is so eye catching!”

She looked Joe over and said, “You’ve got those girls right where you need to have them. Every time you move those hips, every one of them is watching.” Then she looked at Sav and said, “You’ve got the moves and every time you strike one of those poses with the guitar, you catch half their eyes. The other half is on those pants wondering how they’re not splitting open,” she said with a throaty laugh. “They’re wonderful and so are you.” She could see the blush heading back into his cheeks to her amazement.

Peter came over and said, “Time to get back at it, lads.” As they walked by, Joe brushed against Caroline and Sav walked close enough she felt the air move with his passing. She turned and watched them walk back towards the stage. First Joe turned to look at her, then Sav turned and stared for a moment before heading back for the stage. She could see them put their heads together as they mounted the stage and Sav strapped on his guitar.

They spent the rest of the afternoon replaying the same three songs for the cameras. Between takes, to give the audience something different, they tore through a song off the first album called ‘Wasted’.

Once they’d wrapped the shoot, the band said good night to the members of their fan club who’d shown up for it. Then they changed clothes and met back in the room where they’d eaten lunch. Caroline was waiting there for them. She asked, “Would you guys like to join me at the hotel for a drink?”

Rick looked up sheepishly and said, “I can’t. I promise my Mum I’d be home early tonight.”

“That’s too bad, Rick,” she said in a voice that promised he’d definitely miss out by going home. The others looked at each other and started nodding their heads in unison. Joe spoke up, “Sure, we’re up for it!”

“Okay, I’ve got a car waiting outside,” she purred. Outside, they all piled into the waiting limo and headed for the hotel. Once inside, they headed straight for the bar. Each of the guys ordered a beer and Caroline ordered herself a glass of white wine. She sat between Joe and Sav, leaving Pete and Steve to take the two remaining seats. The boys began telling her about their start in the business including Steve’s insistence that they finally play live.

“Sounds like Steve made a smart move,” Caroline said with a wink for Steve. By that time, he was on his fourth beer and was starting to feel a good buzz coming on. Pete had drank six by then and he was getting thoroughly trashed. Sav and Joe had only had two beers each and Caroline was on her second glass of wine. She leaned over to Sav and held up her wine glass, saying, “Here, try this!”

Her hand rested on his upper thigh as he drank slowly from the glass she held to his lips. “Um, that’s good,” he sighed. She didn’t move her hand as she turned to Joe and asked, “Would you like some?”

“Oh, no thanks. I’ll stick to my beer,” he said, suddenly bashful. As Caroline sat back up, her hand moved higher on Sav’s thigh, coming to rest only inches from the buttons of his jeans. She gave him a slow smile, then turned back to Joe. “You sure?” she asked in a low voice. Sav was staring at Caroline as she moved towards Joe. Joe nodded his head and she held the glass to his lips, leaning forward and placing a warm hand on his shoulder.

Pete looked up and laughed. “I don’t think the lady can make up her mind which one she wants!”

Steve giggled and said in what he thought was a whisper, “Maybe she’s going take both of them on at once!” He and Pete broke out laughing as Joe and Sav looked at each other and then at Caroline. She merely sat there, watching the two who’d already had a few to many. She pulled out a cigarette and lit it. At that, Joe pulled out one of his own. Sav grabbed for his pack, only to find it empty. Steve offered him one, but he said, “Sorry, mate, you know I only smoke menthols.”

Caroline held her cigarette to his lips and said, “Same here.” He took a drag and exhaled as her hand moved back to his thigh. He felt her fingertips brush against his cock before coming to rest carelessly on his leg. Embarrassed, he felt it stiffen involuntarily. Under the table, Caroline felt a tentative hand running up her leg and looked at Joe with a raised eyebrow. As he started to remove the hand, she looked at him and simply said, “Don’t.”

His hand relaxed on her leg and she gave him a wink. She swung her legs towards him a bit, and left them within his easy reach. She turned her ice blue eyes to Sav and gave him long look.

Steve and Pete managed to down a couple more beers in a very short time. Rather than deal with two drunks, Caroline went to the front desk and paid for an additional room, handing the key to Steve since he was the more sober of the two. As she handed the key to him, she whispered, “There’s a bar in the room, so you won’t have to worry about getting any more alcohol.”

Steve gave her a smile and looked at Pete. “Hey, mate, wanna grab a bird and head for our room?”

“Sure!” Pete slurred. The two of them went over to the bar and started chatting up some of the girls who sat there. Caroline looked at each of the two remaining boys slowly. “Would you gentlemen care to adjourn to my room for a bit?”

Sav and Joe looked at each other. Joe shrugged as if to say “Why not?” and they both stood up to follow her. She put an arm around each of them, forcing them to do the same to her. They walked into the elevator and Caroline waited until the door closed before turning to Sav. She put her arms around him and drew him down to kiss him as her body rubbed against his. Joe watched in stunned arousal as her tongue explored his friend’s welcoming mouth. He felt a twitch in his groin as he saw her tangle her fingers into Sav’s long locks. She pulled away from him and ran a hand down his cheek before she looked over at Joe. She motioned him over with a finger and turned her back against Sav. Sav put his hands on her hips as she pulled Joe’s mouth to hers. She could feel a hard lump in Sav’s groin as her tongue darted into Joe’s mouth. Sav’s lips wandered down her neck and nuzzled at her shoulder while she kissed Joe deeply.

The elevator door opened on her floor and she stepped out from between the two of them, heading for her door. They followed her quickly, both so turned on they no longer cared that the other was there. Once inside, Caroline took a deep breath and took off her leather jacket, revealing her tank top beneath. She was suddenly nervous. She’d never actually expected both of them to accept her invitation and wasn’t sure what to do next. Joe plopped down on the bed and asked curiously, “So, do you do this often?”

“Well, I’ve had my share of musicians, if that’s what you mean. As for there being two of you in my room right now, no, I’ve never done that before. Matter of fact, I once laughed Robert Plant and John Bonham out of my room for suggesting that!”

“Jesus, you met Led Zeppilin?” Sav asked in a low voice.

“Yeah, they were decent enough,” she said. She didn’t tell them that the reason Plant had suggested it was because of her brief crush on Jimmy Page.

“So, what now?” Joe asked quietly.

“We’ll see what happens,” she answered. “It’s not like I had this all planned out.”

“Wanna watch the telly?” Sav asked bashfully.

“Sure,” Caroline answered quickly, walking over and flipping it on. Benny Hill was running on the screen. She kicked off her shoes and plopped down in the middle of her king sized bed. That was her one luxury on the road. She patted the bed on either side of her and motioned for them to sit down. Joe scooted right over beside her and Sav sat down on the edge of the opposite side of the bed. “Don’t worry,” she said with a laugh, “I only bite when asked to!” Joe giggled and Sav gave her a shy smile before moving over next to her.

They sat watching Benny Hill for a while when Caroline felt Joe trying to put his arm around her. She leaned forward a little and let him. Sav saw that and moved a bit further away until Caroline grabbed him by the arm and pulled him right next to her. “Might as well get comfortable,” she said quietly. She leaned into Joe’s shoulder and pulled Sav into her arms. His head came to rest on her shoulder and his hand landed in her lap. A few minutes later, she could feel his hand moving up her thigh to the hem of her skirt. She let out a sigh of contentment, actually feeling quite good between the two of them. One of her hands lay on Sav’s shoulder while the other traced lazy circles on Joe’s leg. She leaned her head back and pulled Joe’s mouth down to hers for a long kiss.

Joe’s hand went to her neck as she kissed him, then wandered farther down, stopping just above her tits. Her hand on Sav’s shoulder tangled in his hair and gently turned his face to hers, letting her lips capture his. As she kissed Sav, Joe’s hand finished it’s trial to her chest and his finger traced along her nipple. Sav had turned to face her completely and his hand went under the edge of her skirt, rubbing the soft skin of her inner thigh. Joe moved her hair away from her neck and nibbled gently at the back of her throat, getting a moan from Caroline. Her hand moved up from Joe’s thigh and over the buttons of his jeans, feeling the rock hard dick beneath the fabric. She could feel the hard lump in Sav’s jeans against her thigh as his leg came to rest over hers. Grinding her hip against Sav’s, she gave the bulge in Joe’s jeans a gentle squeeze, causing both of them to moan at the same time. Joe’s hand on her chest went under her shirt and cupped the breast it found there. Sav was practically laying on her side, grinding his hips into her to give himself some form of relief.

Sick of fighting his way around the material of her shirt, Joe reached down and slipped it off over her head. Meanwhile, Sav’s hand had moved under her panties and to her ass, holding her against his moving hips. Joe unfastened her bra and she leaned forward to help him get it off. As soon as it was gone, both of them focused on her tits, one on each side. They each took a nipple into their mouth, sucking and teasing it, though Joe was a bit rougher than Sav, occasionally nipping at it with his teeth. Caroline sank lower in the bed, taking both of them with her as she moved. Sav’s hand continued to explore her ass as Joe, the more sexual adventurous of the two, let his hand move over the panty covered mound of her crotch. It only took a second before his fingers were making their way under the material and exploring the outer areas of her pussy.

Sav lifted his head from her breast and trapped her mouth with his, his tongue darting quickly between her lips to find her tongue. As she kissed him, she felt Joe pull away. But before she could break the kiss to find out where he was going, she felt his hands under her skirt, removing the pesky underwear under it. Then he obviously decided he might as well go all the way and ran a hand under her backside, finding the zipper of her jeans and sliding it off her body as well. Now fully naked while they were still completely dressed, she felt a bit at their mercy. Funny thing was, she was enjoying that feeling.

Sav continued to kiss her as Joe moved down between her thighs. He pulled them apart gently and let his hands explore the recesses of her hot mound. He found her clit, a hard nub by now and brushed it with his fingertip, bringing another moan from her throat. Not knowing quite what to do, he rubbed it a bit and listened to her mumbled response of “a little easier, thank you.” With less pressure this time, he rubbed it again and listening to her gasp in pleasant surprise. She broke the lip lock Sav had been laying on her long enough to say, “Oh, my, you’re a quick study!”

Joe smiled up at her and said, “You know, I’ve heard women like this.” Then he bent his head down between her thighs and his tongue darted quickly over her swollen clit. “Um, I always wondered what that tasted like. Not bad at all!” His tongue continued to dance over her clit and she broke away from Sav to say, “Try sucking on it once. That usually gets a pretty good response as well.”

Seconds later, he’d taken the small nub into his mouth and felt her hips buck against him. Sav felt it as well and ground against her again, growling her name against her lips. He cast a quick glance down at Joe and said, “Sounds like she likes it!”

“Um, definitely,” she said in a low voice. One of her hands was still twisted through Sav’s hair, but the other began to undo the buttons of his shirt. As she bared his chest, her hand wandered over it and tweaked one of his nipples. “Oh, God, Caroline!” he murmured. Joe continued to suck on her hard clit and decided to try inserting a couple of fingers into her. She ground her hips against him while she helped Sav slide his shirt off his shoulders. Then her hands went to the buttons of his jeans and deftly undid them. She slid her hand into his briefs and took his cock into it, sliding up and down him.

Meanwhile, Joe moved back up her body, kissing her the whole way. After a moment, she stopped what she was doing to Sav and turned to Joe, kissing him as her hands wandered over him. Sav kissed her neck while she kissed Joe. She pulled Joe’s shirt off over his hand and leaned down to take one of his nipples in her mouth. With a moan, he pulled away from her and skinned his jeans and briefs down off his legs and lay next to her naked. The heat of his skin almost burned her. She moved down his body and took his cock into her mouth, moving slowly as Joe tried to thrust his hips closer to her lips. She pushed his hips back down, keeping control of him carefully. He squirmed under her attention, straining for a release that wasn’t coming yet.

After a while, she sat back away from Joe and motioned for Sav to come to her. He got off the bed and walked around to stand in front of her. She tugged his jeans off him and his briefs quickly followed. His hard prick sprang to attention in front of her. As strange as it seemed, he’d found it highly erotic watching her give Joe head. As aroused as he was, he didn’t last long once she had taken him in her mouth. His fingers wound through her hair as an orgasm overtook his body. She kept moving on him until he’d finished cumming. When it was over, he threw himself on the bed and said petulantly, “I can’t believe I did that!”

She ran her fingers through his hair and said softly, “Don’t worry, baby. You’ll get more chances to last a bit longer. Besides, the first one is always the quickest.” He pulled her in his arms and said, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure, luv,” she said quietly. She looked at Joe, whose hard-on was still raging and waiting for her. She leaned over and kissed Joe. He could taste Sav’s cum on her lips and rather than being turned off, he found it surprisingly arousing. She pushed him onto his back and straddled him quickly. She needed a release as badly as he did by now. Taking his rock hard cock in her hand, she guided it to the opening of her pussy and lowered herself onto him. Sav sat at the edge of the bed, watching in fascination as she rode atop his friend. As she ground herself into him, she could feel her orgasm building. With a shudder, she came and collapsed onto Joe. By that time, Sav was hard again.

He looked at Joe and a thought occurred to him. He moved behind Caroline and started rubbing her back. She could feel his hair trailing up her back as he leaned down and asked her, “Listen, I’ve heard of something I’ve always wanted to try.” His hand wandered over her ass and she turned a little, looking at him curiously. “What do you mean?” she asked as she started to move for Joe’s benefit.

“Well, I, I’m not sure how to ask...” he stuttered.

“I think I know what you’re talking about,” she said quietly. “I’m game if you are.”

Eager to try something every other woman had said no to, Sav got himself into position at the opening of her ass. Not realizing the difference, he pushed his prick hard against her anus and it popped quickly in. He kept pushing and was almost all the way in when he heard her nearly scream, “Don’t move! Oh, shit, that hurts!”

Sav froze. She reached around and grabbed him, saying, “Just wait a minute, please. I forgot that if you don’t know what you’re doing, it hurts!”

“Do you want me to stop then?” he asked, scared he might have really hurt her.

She twisted around and pulled his lips to hers as she said, “No, baby, just don’t move til I’ve had a chance to get used to it.” She kissed him deeply to take her mind off the pain for the moment as her body adjusted to what he’d done. Then she nodded her head and said, “It’s okay now, baby. Just take it easy on me, okay?”

“Yeah, I’m sorry,” he whispered as he began to move the rest of the way into her. A electric shock seemed to travel through her body as he got all the way in. He moved slowly in and out of her ass and Joe gasped, “Holy fuck, I can feel you moving!”

“So can I,” Caroline moaned.

“Jesus, Joe, you won’t believe how tight this is!” Sav moaned. “I’ve never felt anything like it!“ He matched his strokes to her backwards thrusts, so that when she pulled off Joe, Sav was pulling out. As she pushed back onto Joe, Sav buried himself in her to the hilt. Caroline climaxed again quickly as Sav’s strokes picked up speed and force. From the look on Joe’s face, Caroline could tell he was getting ready to cum as well just from feeling Sav moving inside her. Then they both felt Sav give one last hard thrust as his body was wracked by an orgasm. Frustrated, Joe waited until Sav rolled off Caroline’s back, then he quickly flipped her on her back and thrust frantically into her, cumming in just moments.

The three of them collapsed into a heap on the bed. They crawled under the covers and Caroline put her arms around Sav. Joe laid behind her and put his arms around her as they all fell asleep.

 

 

During the night, Caroline woke to feel Joe’s hard cock rubbing against her ass. He was trying not to wake Sav or Caroline, but Joe needed to relieve himself again. Memories of the night before had him completely turned on. She lay there for a moment, waiting to see what Joe would do. He couldn’t move to much for fear of waking the others, so he really didn’t get far in taking care of himself. Caroline snaked a slow hand down and wrapped it around his cock. Surprised, Joe whispered, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.”

“Don’t worry about it. Why do it solo when I can help?” she laughed softly.

“Um, Caroline, can I try what Sav did?” he whispered in return.

“Oh, shit, I don’t know if I can, baby. You’re a bit bigger than Sav and I think he pushed it to the limit,” she said quietly.

“Oh, well, never mind then,” he replied, though he was obviously disappointed.

“What the hell, we can try. Just go slow, okay?” she said, not wanting to let him down. He was such a sweetheart, she couldn’t bare to hear the letdown in his voice.

“Really? Are you sure? I don’t want to hurt you,” he said softly.

“Yeah, just be careful. If I tell you to stop, just freeze what you’re doing, okay?”

“Okay,” he said and he shifted his hips to bring himself closer to her. She could feel the tight muscles of his stomach all down her back as she leaned back to give him better access. She could feel the head of his large prick rubbing against her anal opening, then there was slight pressure as he pushed gently into her. As the tip went in, she froze. He really was very large. She whimpered a bit and asked quietly, “Please, wait a minute!”

“Whatever you want, luv,” he whispered quietly. Joe wrapped an arm around her shoulders and across her chest, while his other hand was on her hip, holding her steady against him. Involuntarily, his hips moved forward an inch, stretching her further open. She whimpered again, but didn’t tell him to stop. She only moaned, “God, you’re big!”

“I’m sorry,” he apologized quietly.

“Let me try to do this,” she said, moving back against him slightly. She took in another couple of inches before she stopped. “It doesn’t hurt as bad now. I think you can do it now. Easy, baby.”

He pushed slowly all the way into her and stopped. They lay there for a few moments as Caroline got used to the feeling of being opened so much. Just as she was about to move again, she felt another hand wandering over her body. They’d been concentrating so much on what they were doing, she hadn’t realized Sav had woken up. Joe murmured, “Sav was right. This is heaven!”

“I told you,” Sav whispered lowering his head to her tits as his hand moved between her thighs. He took her nipple into her mouth as he massaged her rock hard clit. Joe held her body against his as he moved slightly in and out. He could tell by the feel of his own body that much more movement and he’d blow his load right then. He wasn’t ready to let go of her just yet, so he barely moved. Sav keep his hand between her thighs as his lips met hers. She kissed him with a fevered passion she didn’t know she was capable of. It frightened her to feel that, because no man had ever awakened that in her. Now there was not one, but two men that she felt entirely too much for.

Her orgasm sneaked up on her, leaving her breathless as she continued to kiss Sav. The contraction of her muscles finally sent Joe over the edge as he came inside her. Rather than let go of her, Joe simply rolled over on his back, taking Caroline with her. Her ear came to rest beside Joe’s mouth as he whispered, “I love you.”

“Um, I love you, too, baby,” she said, then froze. What the hell was she saying? Yet, she meant it. And, she realized, she loved Sav too. Jesus, that was the last thing she needed at that moment.

She could feel Joe’s entire body under her as Sav moved on top of her. He was inside her in seconds, though he moved slowly. He was obviously trying to make this time last. He stopped occasionally, sucking her nipple into his mouth or nibbling at her neck. At one point, he moved from her neck and found himself close enough to Joe’s lips to feel his breath. Before he realized what was happening, their lips met and he felt Joe’s tongue inside his mouth. Caroline turned her head and touched her tongue gently to their lips, kissing each of them and breaking the contact that Joe and Sav hadn’t intended to let happen. It hadn’t been an attraction between the two of them, but a connection made solely because of the woman between them.

Sav could no longer control himself. He plunged into her over and over until he shuddered with his climax. He didn’t want to leave her body as he whispered, “I love you, Caroline.”

“I love you, too, Sav,” she whispered, surrendering to the feeling at last. He collapsed onto her, bringing a grunt from Joe. Slowly, they rearranged themselves and drifted off one by one to sleep. Once again, Caroline’s head rested on Sav’s shoulder as Joe wrapped her in his embrace from behind.

 

 

In the morning, Sav woke as he heard the click of the door. Not realizing at first what it meant, he turned slowly and become conscious of the fact that he was alone in the bed with Joe. Caroline was gone. He panicked and shook Joe by the shoulder. “Joe, she’s gone, mate!”

“What?” he said groggily, shaking his chocolate curls as he woke up. “Where’d she go?”

“I don’t know, man, but we’ve got to find her!” Sav said, jumping out of bed. He threw on his clothes and was about to head out the door when he noticed a note on the dresser addressed to the two of them. He opened it quickly and sat on the edge of the bed to read it as Joe was getting dressed.

“My dearest Joe and Sav,

I’m sorry I left you this way. You’ll never know how much. But I had to. This situation could never have continued, as much as I’d like to think it could have. When you first came into this hotel room last night, I felt a bit like a teacher, showing you things about sex you hadn’t had time to learn yet. Instead, I found out late in the night that I was really the student, though not of sex. The two of you taught a hardened heart how to love. I love you both more than words can say. But if I’d stayed, it would rip us all apart in the end. Joe, don’t lose yourself in the role of lead singer. It takes over some men and they start to think they’re the end and the beginning of the band. Remember you’re just another member of a group. And Sav. God, don’t lose that shy innocence you have about you. Always hold on to yourself, baby.

I love you both,

Caroline.”

Sav handed the letter to Joe, who read it quickly. “She’s right, we never could have kept what happened last night going.”

“I know,” Sav whispered, though there were tears in his eyes.

They finished dressing, then stopped to get Steve and Pete from their room. They didn’t talk much and didn’t tell Pete or Steve anything. As time passed, they both remembered Caroline from time to time and wondered if that night was responsible for the closeness they felt to each other. And they wondered what ever became of the woman they’d both begun to love.

Almost a year to the day from the night she’d spent with Joe and Sav, Caroline left her job with the record company for a job closer to home with less travel. She needed it to take care of her three month old daughter.
