ALTERNATIVE POV
Jordon
Leaning against the sink resting my hands against the cool marble, I stare at myself in the mirror.
What the fuck did I just do? I think to myself as I try to shake the words of doubt from my mind.
I just fucked the most gorgeous woman on the damn planet but now I have a seriously problem. The sex was too good. How the fuck am I going to be able to act as if this didn’t’ happen and travel with her for the next six months?
I now understand why Brittan is so serious about never mixing business with pleasure. But for her and me it’s two totally different reasons.
For her she doesn’t want the drama.
For me…it’s going to be torture. Pure. Fucking. Torture. Because I'm going to have to see her every Goddamn day for the next six months and not be able to bury myself inside of her, like I was five seconds ago.
Get your shit together. She’s just another chick. I’ll have thousands just like her begging to help me forget about her as soon as we kick this tour off next week.
Raking my fingers through my hair, I take in a full breath of air and blow it out slowly as I finally get my feet to move and head back into Brittan’s bedroom.
I’m still stark ass naked as I make my way over to my boxers that are lying on the floor at the foot of her bed. Brittan’s eyes land on me and flicker with a look of desire then darken with pain instantly making my chest ache.
Grabbing my boxers I slip them on and ask, “Are you okay?”
Brittan instantly goes from looking like her puppy just died to flashing me an all teeth smile which I can instantly tell is forced. I can’t wrap my head around this girl. “Yeah, I’m great. Just tired, today’s been a roller coaster of emotions that have left my mind and body exhausted.”
I immediately remember an article I read in a magazine the other day with Brittan. She was being interviewed by some music blogger about our upcoming tour, then she was talking about some new charity thing she’s doing in the memory of her fiancé. If I remember correctly he died eight years to the day. I can’t believe she actually showed up to the party with it being the anniversary and all. I guess she’s just trying to move on with her life.
Now I feel like an ass for coming on so strong tonight.
Crawling onto the bed I lie down next her, propping myself up on my left arm. We both stare at each other for a few seconds without speaking as I gaze down into her gorgeous big brown eyes. I try to see past the facade she’s putting on for me.
I am trying to keep my emotions in check and not let Brittan see she’s getting to me. But I'm failing miserably because I instantly notice that Brittan sees the pain in my eyes that I’m trying to mask. I don’t know why but seeing the sadness that is all consuming for her is so raw. I feel as if I can feel every ounce of sadness that she’s feeling.
Raising my hand, I use the pad of my thumb and gently brush away a few stray strands of her dark silky hair from her face and tuck them behind her ear.
Slowly I slide my tongue over my lips trying to moisten my mouth that is now dry and starving to be quenched by her intoxicating kiss.
So much for just getting the hell out of here. I can’t fool myself; I am definitely feeling something for this woman.
Staring down at her I can’t help but tell her exactly what is bouncing around inside my head, “You are a mysterious and captivating woman, Brittan McKenna. I am trying so hard to read you, but I officially think it’s impossible.”
A look of shock and amusement flashes across her face as she falls back on the pillows beneath her. She lets out a low belly laugh that makes my lungs stop working momentarily and my heart stammers against my fucking chest.
I can’t control my actions now. My body is taking over and ignoring the voice in my head telling me to get my shit an get the hell out of here, right the fuck now.
Leaning down I kiss a path from the small curve of her jaw, breathing in the smell of me on her skin, mixed with a fruity scent as I work my lips up to her mouth. With each kiss I press to her skin, her laughter quiets and slowly stops.
“Sorry…” Brittan says breathlessly with her voice soft and sweet. Each time this woman speaks, she makes my brain go haywire. “I can’t even read myself half the time, so don’t feel bad. I don’t think anyone will ever understand me. And captivating is far from the word I’d use…more like complicated.” I can’t help but take notice to the sadness in her words.
It guts me to know she feels this way.
It's as if no one will ever understand her and will waste their time if they even bother to try. I don’t know how she doesn’t see what I see. When I look at her I see a woman who’s strong, talented, beautiful; and has the ability to bring me to my knees with just the slightest touch and those kiss me lips.
Grabbing her chin, I force her to look at me. She’s spent the last few seconds with her eyes fixated on the chandelier above her bed, trying to keep from looking at me. I’m going to make her look at me and listen to what I have to say whether she wants to or not.
I breath in a fast sharp breath before speaking, “To me, Brittan, you are the most captivating woman I’ve ever met. The second I saw you dancing tonight I couldn’t take my eyes off of you. No matter how hard I tried. You don’t see it, but you are beautiful and are worth someone taking the time to see the real you. Not the facade you put on for the outside world.”
She just stares up at me frozen and dazed. Her mouth moves but nothing comes out. It’s adorable. The corners of my lips curl up into a ghost of a smile, as she reaches up gently sliding her delicate little fingers through my hair. I feel her nails scratching at my scalp causing a shiver to shoot down my back and cause my dick to ache in my briefs.
Palming the back of my head she pulls me down to her, crashing our lips together. Giving me one more “rock my fucking world” kiss, with those perfect lips of hers. I can feel it in her kiss…she’s saying goodbye. Not just for tonight. Forever.
From here on out we’ll just be Brittan and Jordon, two musicians touring together.
I don’t know why but I actually feel a little pissed about this.
Normally, I’m happy that I don’t have to try and explain that after tonight there will not be any dates, phone calls, or texts. I expect nothing but a night of casual sex followed by see ya later.
As I pull away from her kiss she whispers up at me with her sexy little voice, “Good night, Jordon.”
My heart stammers against my ribcage again, I’m now the one forcing a fake ass smile at her. I climb off the bed without saying anything in return. If I try to talk I’ll end up saying something we’ll both regret, and wish was never spoken when the morning comes.
In record time, I collect all of my clothes and throw them on before heading out the door and fishing my phone out of my jeans. I quickly shoot a text to the guys letting them know I’ll be at the hotel and will see them in the morning.
I sit down onto the stone steps outside Brittan’s front entrance and call a cab. Within fifteen minutes a tiny yell cab is pulling up and asking me, where to? I don’t look back as I tell him the name of our hotel. Looking back at the house where I know she’s inside alone, will only make this moment more difficult.
Resting my head against the back seat that smells of stale cigarettes, I run my hands over my face, as images of tonight replay in my head. I’m totally fucked. Just a few hours with her and she’s imbedded herself inside of me.
The only thing on my agenda tomorrow is getting completely trashed. Hopefully I can find a hot willing chick I can use to fuck Brittan out of my system. If that doesn’t work, I know one thing…it’s going to be a long ass six months.
DARE TO TELL THE TRUTH WITH KAYLA THE BIBLIOPHILE
Brittan Edition
Let’s start with a little foreplay…
What would you say is the most embarrassing thing you have done or had done to you?
Well I have two stories for this; the first leads into the most embarrassing moment ever for me! The first is a prank the guys and I pulled on Nash, that then lead to Nash getting me good and embarrassing the hell out of me in front of hundreds of people.
I’ll start off with the Nash story. We were driving from San Diego to San Francisco when we were first starting out and had bought a RV to live in and travel while touring around playing in bars. We were hungry so stopped by at a gas station to get some drinks and snacks for the remainder of the drive and I saw fire crackers on display because it was close to the Fourth of July. I grabbed them and quickly filled Casper, Holden and Levi in on my master plan. Nash was passed out on the sofa inside the RV so when we got back on I grabbed a pot from the kitchenette and had Holden light them on the table beside Nash’s head. I never saw him move so damn fast! I swear I thought he was going to piss his fucking pants!! He swore he’d get me back and it took two years but he did.
That leads to the second story. We were going through security at LAX for our flight to Australia for the MTV Music Awards they have there every year and Nash offered to carry my luggage for me and I soon learned he didn’t do it to be a gentleman! When I started putting my things through the scanning machine they pulled me aside and said my bag was making buzzing noises and needed to be inspected. The line was HUGE! Like hundreds of people! They emptied all the contents of my bag then pulled out a big ass fucking hulk size dildo that was vibrating inside my bag. I was beyond mortified! They probably thought I had a vagina the size of the freaking Grand Canyon with the size of that dildo. I wanted to KILL Nash. The guys were laughing hysterically I felt so bad for that security guard. Men can be total douchebags!
Craziest Fan moment?
I have the best fans in the world and they make every concert memorable, but with that comes the few crazy ones that make the concerts memorable for all the wrong reasons. I had one fan who busted through security and got on stage during a concert and stripped as he ran across the stage before one of the security guards tackled him. I think his tiny penis will forever be burned into my brain. I felt bad for the guy who had to tackle his naked ass! I guess he was high on something it must’ve been something really good to get naked for twenty thousand fans. But God! I pray in I never come in contact with a streaker ever again!

Enough foreplay, let’s get it on!

What is the strangest place you ever had sex?
Hmmm…I’ve had sex in a lot of weird places, but the weirdest would have to be in an ally way against a cold ass brick building after one of our shows when we first started out. We were in NYC and the streets were packed. There’s nothing more exhilarating then getting fucked in public. Thank God it was like two a.m.
What turns you on more, reading a sexual story, watching a porn or listening to sex?
All three!
What profession do you find the most arousing sexually?
Being in a band. Nothing is sexier than seeing a man on stage seducing the crowd with his words or with his instrument. It’s by far the sexiest thing on the planet.
Does size matter?
Yes. It doesn’t have to be huge…just big enough that if he knows how to work it right so that I have a killer orgasm. Haa!
Do you or have you ever had a “cop” fantasy?
Nope. But the idea of being handcuffed and bent over a cop car is kinda hot.

No way haa! Screams sleazy porn!
If you were on a bus and got a glimpse up a pantiless girl’s skirt would you keep looking?

What is the strangest sexual experience you’ve had?
Why guy I hooked up with kept telling me to call him daddy…um nooo way. Creep-o alert.
Funniest sexual experience you’ve ever had?
I was having sex with a guy in the bathroom of an airplane and we hit turbulence and fell through the doors. That ended up on the front page of one of two gossip magazines.
Dominant or Submissive?
Both. Just depends on my mood. Sometimes I want to be in control and other times I want the guy to take the reins.
Your stand on sex toys?
A Must! When you’re pleasuring yourself and when your man is too! They just make the sex better!
Siiiigh, that was fantastic…how about some pillow talk?

I would pee outside on a tree haaaa! Guys don’t know how lucky they are to be able to pee outdoors when they’re camping and not pee on their damn foot.
How would you describe yourself so that someone could pick you out?
The chick with killer heels on, cherry red hair and butterfly tattoos down her arm and a cute nose ring ha!
What's the last thought in your head that involved someone you like?
I pray Levi doesn’t let one rip in the green room again. I swear that man can let off a stink bomb like no other. So glad I’m not on that bus with them anymore.
What is a question you want me to ask you?
Nothing. They’ve all been fun!
What is a question you refuse to answer?
I guess I won’t know unless you asked it. I am pretty much an open book.
Any tats or piercings? If so, where?
I have both. My ears, nose and belly button are pieced been contemplating piercing my nipple. I have a music note behind my ear, a music note butterfly on my wrist, and then my tattoo that starts on my shoulder and bicept and goes down my rib cage. It’s all swirling vines and flowers with butterflies and I plan on adding a sheet of music it soon. It’s a work in progress.
Biggest turn on?
A guy who is easy on the eyes, has a killer smile and knows how to flirt well.
Biggest turn off?
Guys that are overly cocky. It is not hot at all when you are hot but you know it and make it known to everyone around you.
Pet peeve?
Annoying airheads that talk with a high pitched valley voice. We have an infestation of them every time we play in LA. I swear the guys bring them back to the green room just to annoy me and get their kicks.
So tell us something nobody knows about you?
Not many know I play almost every instrument known to man. I majored in music in college and was in band throughout high school. I originally planned on being a music teacher before chasing this crazy dream.
What did you think while reading these questions?
How does one come up with all of these? Haa!
Thank you for answering my naughty questions. Was it as good for you as it was for me?
Oh yes. It was so good that I’ll be remembering this moment for a very long time.
