Part 3

As Sarah and Kevin followed Nick and Becca into ‘Tabu’, Sarah spotted Howie and he was obviously already drunk. Before she had a chance to say anything to Kevin though, everyone was yelling ‘Surprise’! and Kevin began his act. Everyone surrounded him and started wishing him a ‘Happy Birthday’. In the commotion, Howie managed to get Sarah’s hand and pull her away from the crowd.

"What do you want, Howie?" she asked when he had her sort of alone.

"I want you, ‘Angel’," he said as he put his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him. "Why haven’t you been returning my calls?"

Feeling Howie this close to her brought back all the feelings that he created in her when they made love but she was determined to be sure of what she wanted before going back to Howie no matter how he made her feel. Sarah sighed, "I can’t keep doing this, Howie. Every time the four of us are together, you go off the deep-end and I end up even more confused than before."

"I just want things like they were before that night, Sarah."

"Give it time, Howie. I still love you very much but I still have issues to deal with."

Kevin came up behind them and put his hands on her shoulders. "What’s going on, ‘D’?"

Howie let go of her as he looked at Kevin. "Happy Birthday, bro!"

"Thanks." With that, Howie went back to the party and Kevin hugged Sarah close. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah....this is your birthday. I’m not going to let it ruin your night."

AJ came bouncing over to the couple and grabbed Sarah by the waist pulling her out of Kevin’s arms and spinning her around. "I want ONE dance with you and then I promise to leave you alone."

Sarah laughed as AJ set her down. "Okay! Okay! Kevin?"

Kevin was laughing too and said, "Go ahead. But ‘Bone’....ONE DANCE!"

Sarah and AJ laughed as they headed out onto the dance floor. Normally the guys didn’t listen to their own songs when they were out partying but Sarah and AJ had sort of adopted ‘If You Want It Good Girl(Get Yourself A Bad Boy)’ as THEIR song so AJ had gotten the DJ to play it for them. They hit the dance floor before anyone else and started the night off.

*********************

After dancing with AJ, Sarah went back to find Kevin who was talking to Brian and a few of the dancers. She put her arms around his waist from behind and he looked back over his shoulder at her.

"Hey, baby! Finished dancing?"

"Yeah. Are you ready to dance with me?"

"Not just yet."

"Hey, Sarah. Is Howie okay?" asked Brian.

Sarah shrugged her shoulders. "He’ll have to be, won’t he?"

With that, Sarah took Kevin’s hand and pulled him away from the others. They watched in disbelief as the two started dancing close, the way they had seen Sarah and Howie dance so many times before.

On the dance floor, Kevin whispered in her ear, "You aren’t okay, are you?"

Sarah looked into his eyes and he saw her answer.

"We can leave if you want."

"No...this is YOUR birthday party, Kev. I’m NOT going to let him ruin it."

"I don’t mind. You KNOW I hate parties like this. We’ll stay a respectable amount of time and then we’ll leave."

"If that’s what you want, ‘Boo’, fine but don’t leave because of me."

"OH, but I will be leaving because of you...and my *desire* for you," said Kevin as he ground his pelvis into Sarah.

She could feel his erection against her and she looked at him innocently. "Boo, did *I* do that to you?"

Kevin laughed, "You know you did...you and that sexy body of yours wearing my favorite dress. I can’t wait to unwrap my present."

Sarah ran her hands across his ass pulling him closer to her. "Good things come to those who wait."

From his booth, Howie looked on as the ‘angel of his dreams’ danced with one of his best friends the way she use to dance with him. He took the bottle sitting in front of him and downed it without any trouble. He started to throw it against the wall but AJ caught it.

"Howie, don’t do this to yourself or Kevin or Sarah."

"GO TO HELL, AJ!" was all Howie said as he got up and stormed to his office.

************************

Hearing the voices from the VIP section, Nick said, "Becca, I need to go check on something."

"I’ll go with you."

Holding onto Nick’s hand as they wound their way through the crowd and up the stairs, Becca saw what Nick was headed for. She had met AJ earlier that night and now spotted him with Howie. Kevin and Sarah were still on the dance floor and Becca was somewhat relieved.

"’D’, you’re the one who started all this. Now live with it," said AJ trying hard to control his anger. He knew from experience that yelling at someone who was drunk was of no use.

Howie glared at AJ, "From the minute you met her, all you wanted to do was take her, make her yours. You and Kevin both! You couldn’t be happy with it the way we left it. You had to take it further."

"We didn’t want to do it, Howie!" stated AJ. AJ realized that a crowd was gathering around them and he didn’t want to embarrass Sarah by letting what had happened that night out of the bag. He took Howie by the arm and said, "Come on ‘D’. Let me take you home so you can sleep it off."

With the touch of AJ’s hand, Howie went off swinging hard and connecting with AJ’s jaw. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" growled AJ as he tried to grab Howie to stop him but it was pointless. The two fell to the ground, AJ trying to stop Howie and Howie trying to beat the hell out of AJ.

Nick and Brian along with Marcus and Raoul grabbed the two but they had a hard time trying to part them.

That is until Sarah and Kevin arrived. They had heard the argument above the music and Sarah had rushed up to see what was going on. Now she stood between the two men with her hands on her hips. She looked from one to the other and then said, "STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU!"
Sarah's words seemed to act like a bucket of cold water cooling both men. AJ said, "You can let go of me, Marcus
"What happened, AJ?" asked Kevin.

"I was trying to get Howie to go home so he could sleep it off. He was headed down to cause problems with you two," said AJ as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

Sarah looked at Howie. "You HIT AJ. What is wrong with you?"

Howie looked at Sarah helplessly. "I want you back, ‘Angel’," he said almost crying.

"NO! Howard, you’re drinking WAY too much and now you’ve HIT one of your best friends and ruined another’s birthday party not to mention embarrassing me. I thought I had problems but it’s YOU who has the problems. It’s over between us until YOU can get it together." Sarah was crying now and turned to Kevin, "Take me home please."

Howie sank to his knees crying like he’d never cried before. As Kevin put his arm around Sarah and led her away from the scene, Howie cried out, "DON’T DO THIS TO ME, SARAH! I LOVE YOU!"

************************

Out in the parking lot, Kevin stopped at the car to get his keys out of his pocket. Sarah leaned against the car as she watched, wiping the tears that hadn’t stopped since they had started inside. Kevin looked at her and stopped trying to open the car. He put his arms around her and she buried her face in his chest. Sobs racked her body and Kevin held her silently.

Calming down, she whispered, "This wasn’t a good idea."

"No, you’re probably right," he said tenderly. "But it’s done now and we can’t change it."

"Is he going to be okay?"

"He will be once he gets out on the road and concentrates on the music and the shows."

"I mean tonight. Should I follow AJ to Howie’s?"

"No, you shouldn’t! Sarah, you told him it was over until he could straighten himself out and now YOU have to stick to that. He’s NOT being fair to you."

"But he sounded so...."

"He’s drunk too. That makes it that much worse."

Sarah looked up into Kevin’s eyes. "Take me to your place. I can’t face Becca and I don’t want to be around the house in the morning. I won’t be able to bear it when he calls...and I know he’ll call."

*****************

Sarah needed to feel the warmth and security of Kevin’s arms. Somehow, through all of this, he had been the rock that had steadied her. He never pushed her, he never questioned her, and he ALWAYS listened. In his house, with the lights down low, the music playing softly, and the fireplace going, Sarah felt safe again. She moved to Kevin who had gone to get them something to drink and met him in the middle of the room. She put her arms around his waist and kissed him. Their mouths touched, tongues wrapping and caressing.

Kevin pressed his knee between her legs causing the short skirt to slide up higher on her thighs. His lips trailed down her throat stopping to sensually lick her collarbone causing Sarah to moan softly. She ran her hands through his hair as he slid his hands up her stomach and stopped just under her breasts. Then he reached around and started to unzip her dress. His fingers worked slowly, pulling the zipper down carefully, driving Sarah crazy.

She reached between them to unzip his jeans and he shifted his hips to give her room. She had his pants down on his lean hips and his erection hot and hard in her hands as Kevin finished unzipping her dress. Sarah squeezed him and he gasped.

"Ummmm, baby! That feels good," moaned Kevin as he ran his hands along her shoulders pushing the dress off her shoulders and letting it fall around her ankles. He buried his face between her breasts, nuzzling close, the hair of his mustache tickling her skin. His breath was hot on her skin.

Sarah stroked his erection and felt him shudder against her. His hands hovered over her breasts, her nipples hard as pebbles, aching for his touch. His thigh pressed against her crotch, rubbing just where she needed it, wanted it. She arched ready for him but he stopped.

Kevin took Sarah in his arms and carried her up to his room where he set her on his bed. He stood back enough for her to see as he unbuttoned his shirt slowly. Sarah moved her hands over her body, playing with her nipples first and then her pussy through her panties. Kevin kicked off his boots and slid his jeans down his muscular legs. With his clothes gone, Kevin moved to Sarah on the bed, kneeling between her legs and he ripped her panties off. She gasped, wanting him to touch her, but he only observed her moist, pink floes. The tension was frustrating and delicious at the same time.

Kevin spread her legs and rested his hand on her pubes. With his fingers, he moved the flesh, rubbing, parting her folds and exposing all of her to his gaze. He teased her clit with the tip of his fingers, first gently, then more roughly. One long finger entered her wanting hole, while another continued to make slow circles around her bud. She was on the verge of orgasm when he stopped, leaned up and kissed his way up her stomach to her breasts. Kevin paused, his tongue a breath away from her tingling nipples.

"What are you stopping for?" rasped Sarah as she arched against him. Her pussy was now aching with desire.

Kevin moved to her breasts, his mouth hot and wet, tasting one nipple and then the other. Sarah writhed under him and he tongue-lashed her, slapping her nipples back and forth, sucking hard.

Sarah twisted her legs around his waist, drawing his hips into her. His cock slid up and down the wet slot between her legs and she squirmed to take him inside her.

"Not yet," Kevin whispered, guiding her mouth down to his cock. Her lips pursed around his stiff erection. She slid her mouth all the way down his shaft and he moaned with intense pleasure. She caressed his balls with her hand as she continued to lick and suck his quivering manhood.

Kevin froze. He lifted her up, away from his cock, and wrapped her legs around his waist. He was perched just as the entrance to her pussy and she wanted to scream.

"Please," moaned Sarah and he cocked his hips and drove into her. Sarah arched her back and moved with him, gasping for breath as he thrust into her again and again. Red lights went off in her head. He shuddered and ground against her, pressing deep. She knew she was going to explode like fireworks, stretched out beneath him, legs wrapped around his waist, lost in his movements. "More, Kevin! Come on, harder."

Kevin pinned her to the bed and proceeded to pump her pussy with fast, hard thrusts. One hand was pinching her erect nipples while the other was supporting himself on the mattress as he fucked her faster and faster. She felt him spasm inside her, the last mump before climax. He squeezed her breasts, assaulting the nipples as he thrust and groaned, arching back. She felt him come inside her and that sent her over the edge. Kevin could tell she was coming so he grabbed her clit between two fingers and rubbed it, doubling the pleasure.

They bucked and shuddered together. Sarah was still trembling with the aftershocks when Kevin collapsed on top of her. Her heart was pounding and her muscles burned. She couldn’t believe how good it felt.

"Happy birthday," Sarah whispered in his ear.

"Thank you," murmured Kevin against her shoulder.
