~*~ Soothing the Fears ~*~
As the door closed behind Howie, AJ took Andi’s hand and pulled her into his lap. Carefully, he touched the cut on her cheek and the tears he’d been fighting fell.
"I am so sorry, beautiful."
Andi took his hand kissing his fingers. "Shh, it’s okay, Alex. Please, talk to me. What is going on with you?"
AJ hugged her close. "I’m scared, Andi. I’m scared of going on tour. I’m scared of the demands of being in the group. I’m scared of what my career is doing to our marriage. I’m scared that when I leave this time, I’m never going to see you again, that I’m gonna lose you to someone who’s here for you and not off wandering the country with thousands of girls screaming their name or throwing their bras or panties on stage. I’m tired of waking up to an empty bed. I’m tired of being away from you. Andrea, I don’t ever want to be away from you again."
Andi’s heart broke as she listened to him pour his heart out. "Baby," she whispered caressing his cheek. "Why didn’t you tell me this before?"
"I don’t know. I don’t think I ever realized it until Howie asked me. Andi, please, can’t you see how much it means to have you with me?"
"Alex, I never questioned that but…"
"Don’t! Please don’t say it, Andi."
Standing up, Andi took AJ’s hand and led him into the house. She knew she had to reassure him and there was only one way to do that. Up the steps they went, AJ’s hands on her waist as he followed her.
In their room, Andi turned to him, kissing him lightly. As she did, she took his glasses, set them on the table by their bed, and began unbuttoning his shirt. She ran her hands across his chest pushing the material from his lean body and letting it fall to the floor.
"Beautiful, what are you doing?" questioned AJ.
"Maybe I should stop if you don’t know," teased Andi as she unbuckled his belt.
"Don’t you dare, woman," smirked AJ.
Unbuttoning his pants and easing the zipper down, she placed moist kisses along his chest. Her hand slid into his boxers grasping his limp cock in her hand and she heard his breath catch.
"Good god, woman," growled AJ as he ran his hands along her arms. "This is what I miss most when we’re apart…the way you touch me."
"You’ll always have this, Alex," whispered Andi as she grasped his earlobe between her teeth. "I’m not going anywhere any time soon. I’ll join you on tour when I can and I’ll be here when you come home."
Andi never stopped ‘touching’ him, stroking the shaft as it hardened in her hand. With it completely hard, she pushed his pants completely down as she knelt in front of him. With her slender fingers, she eased his boxers down too revealing his anxious member. As she helped him step out of his pants, she blew warm air onto his cock and giggled as it twitched with anticipation.
With his clothing gone, Andi ran her hands up his thighs as she took his cock into her warm mouth. Running her tongue around the head, she cradled his sack in her hand using her thumb to stroke the soft skin.
AJ closed his eyes enjoying the feel of Andi’s mouth and hands. This feeling, being with his wife, was incredible and it was definitely one of his addictions. He couldn’t survive without her in so many ways. She not only knew how to satisfy his every desire but she kept him grounded and focused. She was his life line when the demands got to be too much and he couldn’t count the times she’d held him as he’d cried thinking he’d disappointed the band.
His fingers wrapped in her raven black hair as his hips began to rock matching her pace. Expertly, she deep throated him, the curls of coarse black hair tickling her nose, and then she’d ease off him to suck hungrily at the head of his cock drawing the blood to already sensitive end. She ran her tongue along the length of his shaft tracing the vein before nibbling her way back to the tip. Then she’d dip her tongue into the tiny opening licking the first drops of sweet nectar.
AJ pulled her up to stand in front of him. "I don’t want to cum in your mouth, Andi. I wanna make love to you. Take your clothes off."
Silently obeying his command, Andi removed her clothes and he lay her back on the bed covering her with his body. Knowingly, he found her waiting pussy and thrust into her craving the feel of her body wrapped around his. Slowly, they made love reaching their climax together and then he collapsed in her arms.
As he recovered, his tears began again and she held him close. "Alex, please stop."
"I can’t help it, Andi. I’m terrified that I’m gonna be just like him and lose everything."
They’d had this conversation before so Andi knew exactly what he was referring to. Running her hands through his hair, she said calmly and reassuringly, "Alex, you’re nothing like your father. You could never cheat on me like he did your mother. You know what if felt like to be hurt that way. Baby, we’ve been through this. I love you, the whole you, and I knew what I was getting into when we got married, the constant demands on you to be away from me and I’m fine with it. I LOVE the fact that I have you and all those women want you. Your career is NOT hurting our marriage one bit…in fact, I think it’s making it stronger."
"What would you do if I DID cheat on you?"
"I’d dump your sorry ass," she laughed, "but you’ll never do that to me."
"No, I love you, Andi!!"
"I know, Alex. Please, understand that my career is just as important to me…I want to work."
"So you aren’t gonna come with me?"
"I’ll join you when I can, Alex…just like always. And when there’s a special event, just let me know and I’ll make plans to be there."
"So where does the compromise come in?"
"How about when I’m pregnant…say, six months…I’ll quit working?"
"Permanently?"
"Yes…permanently….to be a stay-at-home mom, sorta."
AJ thought about it and said, "Deal. When you’re six months pregnant, you’ll quit work and join me. Hopefully, I just got you pregnant!"
Andi laughed, "You are so bad!"
AJ rolled over so that he was on his side with Andi on her back. Tracing the cut on her cheek with his finger, he whispered, "I’m sorry about this."
"I’ll live," yawned Andi.
"You didn’t get much sleep last night, did you?"
"Not really."
"What time do you have to go in tonight?"
"I have the midnight to eight shift."
"How about I set the alarm for eleven and we get some sleep now?"
"How about I call in sick and stay with you tonight?"
AJ shook his head, "No, you need to go in. I’ll be okay, Andi."
Andi kissed him sweetly on the lips. "You’re more than okay, baby…you’re damn good!"
"My little sex kitten," teased AJ as he set the alarm for them.
Andi snuggled into the warmth of AJ’s arms and together, the two fell asleep, AJ’s fears put to rest for the time being.
