Free This Is Forever by S.A. Price

She tasted the soda he had drank, the distinct flavor or dr. pepper, and something sweeter, raspberry, swam on the edges of her taste buds.
    He ended the kiss and pulled back grinning. “That’s why. Go. I’ll wait here.”
    She arched a brow. “Not going to invite yourself on the bus to watch me?”
    He shook his head. “We are taking it slow, remember? Go. Quick.” He winked and settled into a lawn chair and pulled his phone out and she heard the distinct sounds of Angry Birds .
    She was quick, changing into a short skirt, new thigh highs, boots, a t-shirt she knew Rhys would get a kick out of, and reapplied her eye liner and lip gloss. Not ten minutes later she was bounding out of the bus with a grin on her face. Winter looked up and saw her and laughed.
    “Where the hell did you find a ‘Rubber Duckie you’re the one’ shirt in your size?”
    She rolled her eyes. “I still wear a kids extra large Winter.”
    He grinned. “Still trying to figure out how the hell you stuff those perfect tits in there. You must be magic.”
    “Of course I am. Come on.”
    The carnival was in full swing, the booths filled with people. Not one was empty, which was a really good thing. The record companies had set up freebie tents for stickers and pins, some interactive games sponsored by two of the big gaming console companies, games that both bands had given songs to be on the soundtracks for.
    The Thirteen Shades of Red song was on a new skateboarding game, and as Lola and Winter passed that tent, she saw the lines to try it, almost 6 weeks early, were huge. Winter had grinned. “Still haven’t played it yet.”
    “Don’t you guys have it in the bus?” she asked. The game they were featured on, a dark, faerie tale themed game, had come to them with not only the game and console, but an outfit for Lola to wear should she want to, the full sound track and some other cool posters and such.
    Winter nodded to her question. “We got some big package from the company. I know Tosh and Chand were playing it already but I have yet to.”
    She inclined her head and gripped his hand harder, to pull him through the thickening throng of people towards, their destination, the large black and white striped circus tent at the far end of the grounds. The line was long to get in, but they bypassed showing their laminates, and hurried towards the back side of the tent where both bands were already hanging out waiting for the kids to be let in.
    “Quickie?” Toro asked and raised a brow.
    Lola shot him a look and he threw his hands up. “Just kidding pumpkin. Now are we ready to do this?”
    The meet and greet lasted almost two hours. Alcohol flowed from the bars set up around them, cameras flashed as pictures were taken, and conversations were copious. By the time they were finished with the event, the fans were still there, still talking, trying to garner an invite to the afterhours spots and hangouts.  Lola and Winter had slipped out quickly, sighing as soon as they were behind the tent, in the Band only area.
    “Please tell me we don’t have to do this every night.” He mumbled and rolled his shoulders.
    He had been nonstop from the second the tent opened talking to girls, taking pictures, signing boobs and other bodily place. Thankfully the New York chapter of Feathers weren’t in attendance, and even more lucky, he knew he wouldn’t have to worry about any of his past conquests. Aside from Stoli and Gatsby, New York on the whole was devoid of his hookups.  He frowned. “My hand is going to cramp and I won’t be able to play.”
    Lola laughed. “Oh poor you. Poor baby! Signing some boobage too much for you?”
    He frowned again. “When I would much rather be doing other things? Yes.”
    “And this changed when? As I recall you never short changed the fans, and I as hear it a lot of them get the premium experience.”
    Winter cut eyes at her. “Jealous?”
    She shook her head. “Not in the least. Just making a point. This
