Bliss

The boys soon exited the stage, still pumped and energized from the screaming crowd and bright light.
Nick bounded up to Cassidy who was waiting in the wings with Becca and Leighanne. He threw his arms around her, almost strangling her.
“Ewww….Nick you’re all sweaty!” Cassidy teased making a face.
“Ahh…but now you are too so it doesn’t matter!” He laughed.
“You’re such a smoothie…” Cassidy rolled her eyes and kissed him, making sure not to touch his dripping body….it was a “Lips-only” moment. (CN: Well I thought it was funny…)

“Ok…let’s do this now…” AJ said as both he and Kirstie looked around for Denise.
“AJ do we have to….she’s gonna hate me! She’ll probably kick me off the tour..” Kirstie procrastinated.
“Kirstie…she’ll love you baby…don’t worry..” AJ wrapped his arm around her.
“Ok….” Kirstie gave in, leaning against AJ.
“Hey Kev….you seen my mom anywhere??” AJ asked.
“Nope…sorry! Q might know…” Kevin answered as he headed back to the showers.

“She left a while ago man, something she had to handle….” Q told AJ where his mom had gone.
“Ok well, we have to tell her tomorrow…” AJ said looking down at Kirstie.

Brian engulfed Becca in a hug.
“Hi to you too…” Becca smiled.
“I’m sorry…” Brian grinned and leaned in, kissing Becca. He pulled away.
“Hey Becca!!” Brian laughed.
“You think you’re so smart…” Becca shook her head.
“I think you’re so sexy..” Brian purred.
“Oooo….you watch yourself now Brok..” Becca grinned, walking down the hall to retrieve her bag from the dressing room.
“I’m watchin’ you…” Brian called after her.
“You’re such a nymph….” Becca rolled her eyes laughing.
“Ohh…that’s cold baby….cold…” Brian put a hand to his chest dramatically.

“How in the hell did this get out!!” Denise demanded looking at the video playing in front of them.
“Calm down Denise….at least we’ve got it back. And the tabloid assured me that there were no other copies…” John Watson, the BSB attorney tried to calm a furious Denise McLean.
“But what if we hadn’t gotten it back John?? We would have taken a major morality hit from media all around the world…..this sort of smut could almost sink us…” Denise threw her arms in frustration again at the TV that was showing the wild antics of the Nick, Brian, Howie, Cassidy, Becca and Kirstie from the night before.

Denise looked disgustedly at the scene before her in which AJ and Kirstie, both minimally dressed, were playing it up for the camera.

“It’s ok Denise……as soon as I gave them the papers on the 6 digit lawsuit that they would be facing if they ran the story, they handed it over quicksmart…” John smiled ruefully.
“Thank you so much John….you saved us…” Denise smiled sincerely at the middle aged man.
“You know I love these guys as much as you do Denise…” John replied.

“Yeah I do….but who the hell would leak this??” Denise asked bemused.
“You’ll never guess…” John sighed disappointedly.
“Who??” Denise asked desperately.
John handed Denise a check that the tabloid had given him on retrieval of the tape.

The check was for $50,000US and had the name of the recipient and the leak of the tape written on it.

Denise snatched the check and when she read the name at the top, her mouth fell open. She looked at John in disbelief. John Watson merely nodded gravely.

“Tomorrow morning…meeting. This ends.” She vowed and left the room….taking the check with her.

“You tired….” Cassidy purred as she sat on the end of Nick’s bed.
“My shoulders are a little sore…” Nick said as he pulled his shirt off and attempted to rub them.
“Come here….” Cassidy said putting the bed beside her.

“Mmm….that’s really good…” Nick moaned, closing his eyes as Cassidy massaged his shoulders.

“Here…” Cassidy grinned moving her hands down his back.
“Mmmhmm….” Nick nodded, fully aware that Cassidy had a lot of power over him at this moment.
“And here…” Cassidy said running her nails down Nick’s chest.
Nick just nodded as his breathing deepened.
Cassidy ran her fingers under the waistband of Nick’s shorts.
“Cassidy….” Nick breathed.
“What, you want me to stop…” Cassidy twisted her head around so she was facing Nick.
“Nooo….” Nick said, his eyes pleading as he turned around so that they were facing.

“Ok, hold on…” Cassidy grinned, grabbing her CD remote and switchin’ it on to Mariah Carey’s ‘Bliss’.

Touch me baby
It feels so amazing
And you stimulate me
And you make me want
More and more….

What do I do
What do I say
Does it feel good
To you this way
I wanna be
All that you need
Boy what’s your fantasy…

“You’re my fantasy…” Nick grinned kissing Cassidy slowly.

“It’s such a beautiful night…” Becca sighed as her and Brian cuddled on the deck chair on their room balcony, a blanket covering the contented couple.
“Yeah…..look at all the stars…” Brian replied.
They sat there for a few minutes, just enjoying each others company. Then Brian spoke.
“You know you really shouldn’t have done that to Leighanne this morning…” He began carefully.
“Yeah I know…” Becca replied softly.
“It’s exactly what she expected and wanted you to do…” Brian explained.
“Yeah…” Becca agreed, feeling a little ashamed.
“I honestly don’t blame you for hitting her, and I’m not mad at all….but don’t you see that she’s just trying to play with our minds….she’s trying to make us doubt our trust in each other…” Brian paused.
“I do trust you. I do….its just she…” Becca defended, but Brian silenced her gently.
“I know you do….but we’ve just gotta make sure that she doesn’t make us see things that aren’t there….you mean everything to me and I couldn’t care about her if I wanted to…” Brian reassured her.
“Really??” Becca asked snuggling a little closer to him.
“Of course….I love you….and I trust you…more than anything..” Brian kissed her softly.
“I won’t ever hurt you Brian…” Becca whispered.
