    Pressing my hands into her shirt, to find and need at her heavy breast, causing her to moan out my name. I rock my hips against her, feeling her heat burning my skin. I need to touch more of her and can't seem to move fast enough. Her bare skin just brushes mine when a ringing starts and I'm jerked awake. Laying on my back the first thing I see is the sheet popped up in a tent. Leaning over, I smack the alarm, I groan and pull a pillow over my head.
     
    The bedroom doors fly open, "Why are you not up yet. Sound check is in half an hour, you smell like death, and really should shower. Again." And in whirls the star focus of my dream and cause of my popped tent. Before I can move, Nell yanks the sheet off me and I peek out from under the pillow to get a look at her shocked face when she shrieks, and turns her back to me.
     
    "Uh, I'll, uh, be in the living room." She marches out, closing the door behind her. Chuckling at her, I get up, and stretch. Yep, I sleep naked and yes, Nell just saw it all. I should be embarrassed but I know I look fucking hot. I spend hours working out to look this way, so there is no sense feeling ashamed. Plus, maybe I am hoping it will make Nell ache for me, as much as I do for her.
     
    I jump into the shower and decide to rub one out while thinking about her. When I am done re-washing the night off, I grab a towel, and decide I need Nell’s help picking out my clothes, and hopefully we fall into my bed. I secure the towel around my hips and make my way out into the suite. But I wasn't prepared to find Nell looking so pretty and sexy in a pair of short grey tweed shorts, show casing her long tan legs in a pair of neon green heels. She wears a black satin blazer covering most of her tattoos. She stands with her back towards me, looking out the window at the Willamette River. She must feel my eyes soaking her in because despite not making a sound, her shoulders tense, and she turns around.
     
    Her eyes widen as she takes in my nakedness. With a cocked eyebrow she say, "Need something, Beast?" she asks with a smirk and I cringe. I remember last night, and I’ll never live that shit down. With hands on hips, she slowly saunters her way over to me, drawing my eyes to her erect nipples under her silk shirt. Telling me that she isn't wearing a bra. A string curses floats through my mind and I mentally start kicking myself trying to gain some control. I'm starting to think this chick isn't as innocent as I first thought. As she strides towards me, her hardened nipples sway with her movement, rubbing against the silk of her shirt, mesmerizing me and making me ache.
     
    "J?" She's comes to a stop before me and reaches a single finger out to catch a drop of water running down the middle of my stomach. At her touch, my nostrils flare and I suck in a breath. My whole body starts to buzz, coming alive as her nail lightly drags across my skin. Without any warning she claps her hands twice in my face, snapping me back to the percent.
     
    "Chop chop, we have to go!" She directs at me. I spin back around stomping into the bedroom to go get dressed, alone.

    Rehearsal went well but I want to get away to clear my head before the show tonight. I need to clear my head of all this Nell crap. She fills up my head night and day, I just need to escape. I grab my leather jacket from my bunk, my sunglasses from the counter, and my wallet from a cup holder, I head towards the door noticing Nell's blonde head starting up. Before my brain can catch up and stop me I blurt,
     
    "Wanna take a ride with me?" Fuck that went well .
     
    Her eyes widen and she grins. "How many times have you used that line?" She laughs, making me
