I wanted a future with her. That was new too. Typically, I didn’t plan ahead of time. I was a live-in-the-moment guy, but she changed that. I wanted us to plan ahead, and have dreams together. Literally, I just wanted Anna, any way I could have her. And as long as she wanted me, hopefully forever.
Chapter 23:
Anna
“You ready?” Zane asked. We were in Salt Lake City. The guys did a concert here three days ago, and tonight they had to do another before we got ready to leave for Rock Springs.
“I am.” I walked over to him and took his hand. The past fourteen days had been great. Of course, we had to deal with the press wanting to follow our every move. Zane didn’t notice much, but I did. But he helped me a lot. We talked about it a lot. We also talked a lot about “D.” I still got some small panic attacks, but nothing like the one in Reno. After I left the hospital, I told myself that when summer break came, I needed to talk to a professional about this. I just hoped that by then Dax and his team had found “D.” They had been close to finding him twice, but he managed to get away every time. He hadn’t sent me any texts after I got the new number. I didn’t know if he had sent any emails because Ryder had my computer. I didn’t want to know anyway, so I tried not to overthink it.
The band had officially hired a new manager. His name was Logan, and he was from Denver. We met him after the concert three days ago, and he was so nice. I thought I had a great work relationship with him. Yes, I had to take the guys up on their offer. From the day summer break started, I was officially their PA. For now, I worked alongside Kylie, getting to know as much as I could before I had to do all this by myself. It still scared me sometimes, that I had to do all this work alone. But at the same time, I loved the challenge. And better yet, I got to be with Zane on tour.
When we arrived at the venue, Zane gave me a quick kiss before disappearing into the band’s dressing room. I knew they had some sort of ritual they did before each concert, but they wouldn’t tell any of us what it was. I hoped someday Zane would tell, just because I was curious. I really didn’t need to know it; I’d just like to.
“You ready for another crazy night?” I turned around and looked at Kylie.
“Yes, I think I am. What do you want me to do tonight?”
“I think it’s time you take control. You have to get the band ready on time. They need a fifteen-minute warning. Then, five minutes before the concert starts, they need to get ready in the corridor. But you already know this. And I will be here to help you if you need it.” She handed over the iPad. Shit, this just got real. This iPad was normally glued to Kylie’s hand.
“Are you sure?” I was nervous. I didn’t want to make a mistake. I wanted to show the band and Kylie that I could do this.
“Yes, I’m sure. You can do this.” She smiled at me before she walked away. So here I stood with the iPad in my hand, not knowing what to do with myself. But before I got too nervous, the stage manager came over to me. And from that point, I just worked, like I’d done this a million times before. Soon, it was time to give the band their fifteen-minute warning. I walked over and knocked on the door. Not wanting to disturb them, I just talked without opening the door.
“Fifteen minutes, guys.” Before I got a chance to walk away, Zane opened the door.
“Hey, baby, where’s Kylie?” He took my hand and pulled me into the room.
“Holy shit, you have her iPad.” Liam looked shocked at the iPad in my hand.
“She has given it to me, but just for tonight. You need anything before the concert?”
“No,” Cole and Caleb said. Liam just shook his head. They walked out of the room, leaving Zane and me alone.
“I might need something.” He winked at me.
“Sure you do. But we don’t have time.” I grinned at him. We still hadn’t had sex, but we had done other stuff. And I thought that it was soon time to do the real thing. I trusted him so much, and I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. But something was still holding me back.
“I just wanted a kiss, baby.” Yeah right. I smiled at him before kissing him. “Love you,” he said when he kissed me.
“Love you too.” I started walking out of the room. “You need to get ready. Come on.”
“So bossy. I like that.” He followed me out of the room and we walked together down to the stage. Liam, Cole, and Caleb were talking with Kylie when we joined them. From here, the night just turned out like any other concert night. The band performed in front of tens of thousands of screaming fans. I was still not used to hearing all this screaming. Kylie said I would get used to it at some point.
After the concert, the band had a private signing with five fans. After that, we headed back to the hotel.
When we finally went back to our room, I was so tired that I thought I could sleep standing up. I walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower. When I stood in the shower, I felt someone behind me. I turned around and saw Zane looking at me.
“Like what you’re seeing?” I asked before turning around again to get the shampoo out of my hair.
“You know I do.” I knew, but sometimes I still couldn’t believe that he was mine. Just mine.
“Join me?” I asked him. That was all it took to make him move. He was only wearing his boxers, and in a second they were gone, and he joined me in the shower. He walked closer to me and turned me around in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
“You’re beautiful, baby.” He kissed me. This was the first time we were both naked at the same time. And for the first time, I was not scared. I just wanted to feel him. All of him.
He pulled me close, and I could feel his arousal against my stomach. Wanting to try something new, I slid down on my knees, and before he got to stop me, I took his cock in my hand, kissing the head, licking the pre-cum off him. Then I took him all in, looking up at him when I took all of him in my mouth.
“Baby…” he growled. He wrapped his fingers around my hair. His eyes were full of desire. At the same time, I felt myself getting even wetter between my legs. Never had I been this turned on.
I kept working up and down his length, using my tongue to get him even closer to the edge. He moaned loudly, and I kept eye contact with him. It turned me on to see him like this.
“Baby, if you don’t stop, I’m going to come down your throat.” I closed my lips around him, not wanting to spoil this. I wanted him to come. Even though I’d never swallowed before, I wanted to with Zane. I kept sucking, licking, and teasing him.
“Baby, I’m coming.” And with that, he let out a big groan while he emptied himself down my throat. And I took it all, swallowing every drop of cum. When I’d cleaned his cock with my tongue, I stood up to kiss him.
“That was amazing. And just so you know, I didn’t come into the shower to get that. I just wanted to be close to you.” He gave me a long and deep kiss.
“I know, but I wanted to taste you.” I gave him another kiss. “Take me to bed, Zane,” I said, wanting more. But not here.
“You sure?” I just nodded, turning around and turning off the water. We stepped out of the shower and dried ourselves before he lifted me up in his arms and carried me to our bed. I couldn’t help but giggle just a little.
The moment I was on the bed, he kissed me again, this time with even more passion and emotion than ever before. I didn’t think it was possible, but it was. The insistent press of his lips against mine made my blood boil. Zane was taking the lead in the kiss, and for some reason, I didn’t mind him taking control. It was the first time where he took the lead, and it felt amazing. Holding himself over me with one of his hands, he let the other hand cover one of my breasts. He squeezed and fondled my breast before he started teasing my nipple between his thumb and finger. I moaned into his mouth.
He took my lower lip between his teeth and bit lightly before he started kissing me from my mouth to my neck and down to my breast.
He was still teasing one breast with his hand, and then he lowered his mouth to my other breast, teasing my nipple with the tip of his tongue, slowly circling my nipple. I thrust my chest forward, wanting more. He looked up at me with a smile on his face before sucking my nipple into his mouth.
“Zane…” I moaned. It felt so good, and my body was begging for more. I wanted his hands on me. On my pussy. But he had no intention of making this quick. Even when I tried to push his hand further down, he shook his head and continued devoting his attention to my breasts.
Finally, he moved one of his hands down my body to my pussy. The moment his fingers moved down my clit, a shiver ran through my body.
“You okay with this, baby?” He looked up at me. Not able to say anything, I nodded and pulled his head down to me, kissing him with all I had.
“I need you, Zane.” I needed him inside me, needed to feel him. He broke the kiss and reached over to the bedside table, and pulled out a condom. I took the condom out of his hand and sat up, taking the condom out of the foil packet and moving to put it on him. When I took his cock in my hand, he growled.
“Love your hand on me, baby.” I looked up at him before focusing on his cock again. I rolled the condom on him, and the moment it was on, he took my head and kissed me. Moving me down on my back again, never breaking the kiss, he positioned himself between my thighs. I could feel the tip of his cock against my opening. I wrapped my hands around his neck to pull him closer.
“Are you sure, baby?” He looked me in the eyes.
“Yes, I’m sure. I want you.” I kissed him, and he slowly slid inside me. I let out a moan. It felt fantastic with him inside me. He slowly started moving, and I got lost in emotions.
“Look at me, baby,” he growled. I opened my eyes; I didn’t even know that I had closed them. Looking into his eyes, I saw they were full of desire and love. I thought I loved him even more at this moment when I felt him move inside me. He made love to me, and I’d never felt anything like this before. It was so intense and so amazing. I was close to the edge, and I knew he could feel it too.
“Come for me, baby,” he said, and with that, my body let go. “God, baby, that feels amazing,” he growled before he joined me. I felt his body tense, and seeing it in his eyes when he came was amazing. He was so raw and full of emotions. All for me. God, I loved this man.
Chapter 24:
Zane
I’d had a lot of sex. But this with Anna felt nothing like the sex I’d had before. This was not sex just to get a release. It was sex to be close to her, make love to her. Not just fuck her, and then move on to the next. I loved her so much, and this was so worth the wait. I knew I would have waited longer. I didn’t push her to this. She wanted it just as much as I did. When she got down on her knees in the shower and took me into her mouth, I was lost for words. The feeling of her lips around my cock was amazing.
I knew she didn’t have much experience with sex, but at that point, I couldn’t tell. That was without a doubt the best blowjob I’d ever had. Never had I come so fast, like some horny teenager. But it was just amazing, and for some reason, I couldn’t control my body like I normally could. Not that I minded one bit.
I looked at my beautiful girlfriend. The smile on her face made my heart jump.
“That was amazing. I love you so much.” I kissed her, just a small kiss on the lips before I pulled out of her. I needed to get rid of the condom, but I didn’t want to leave her. I just took the condom off and threw it to the floor. Then I pulled her close to me.
“It really was. I love you too.” She gave me a small kiss on the chest. She traced her finger along the tattoo on my chest. “Why roses?” I looked at her, and the tattoo.
“My mom loves roses. You will see that when we get home this summer. It reminds me of home.” She looked up at me before she kissed the tattoo.
“I can’t wait to see your home.” She moved her finger further down to my stomach. “This one? Is that just some random notes?” She smiled and I could see she already knew it was not.
“No, it’s the first notes from our first number-one hit.” I knew I had a lot of tattoos. But they all meant something to me. It was not just some random shit I picked out. Some were quotes from some of my favorite songs, others were drawings of some things that meant something special to me, like the roses and notes. “I think it’s time for a new tattoo this summer.” I looked at her and saw the change in her eyes.
“What do you mean? You can’t tattoo my name on your body.” I had to laugh at her. She smacked my chest. “I’m serious, Zane.” She tried to get up, but I held her close to me.
“Who said anything about me getting your name?” I smiled at her. “I was thinking more like a quote that reminds me of you.” I kissed her on the top of her head.
“What kind of quote?”
“I don’t know yet. But I will tell you before I get it, okay?”
“Okay.” She snuggled against my chest. I knew she was tired, so I turned off the bedside lamp.
“Sleep, baby. It has been a long day.” I kissed her before pulling the covers up around us.
“Good night,” she said before she closed her eyes.
A moment later, she was sleeping. I didn’t sleep for at least another hour. My body was just so full of adrenaline, first from the concert then from making love to Anna. Making love—never thought I would do that. But then again, I didn’t think I’d ever met a girl like Anna. This whole relationship moved so fast; it felt like we’d known each other for years. I always thought that Liam was a pussy when he told me he fell hard and fast for Evie the moment he met her. But look at me now. I had this beautiful girl in my arms, and I would do anything to keep her safe.
Just the thought of her getting hurt was breaking my heart. I hoped Dax would find her stalker sooner rather than later. She needed the closure; I needed it too. Needed to know that my girl was safe and that she could move freely around. Or as freely she could, because I was still a rock star, and the paparazzi would do everything to catch me in a compromising situation. That was what sold. But that also meant that Anna was going to be followed. But for now, I just worried about her stalker.
The next morning, I woke when someone knocked on our door. Anna was still asleep on my chest, so I slowly moved out of the bed, not wanting to wake her. I put my boxers on and walked out of the bedroom. When I opened the door, Dax was standing outside.
“Can we talk?” He sounded serious. I opened the door more so he could get inside the room.
“Has something happened?” I asked while I closed the door and walked over to the bedroom to close the door so we didn’t wake Anna. Dax was sitting at the small dining room table, so I sat down on the other side of the table.
“Ryder might have found Anna’s stalker. We don’t know much about him or his name. But Ryder has tracked the IP address where the emails have been sent from.”
“Is he from USSC?” I asked.
“Yes. As far as we know, he is working or studying in the business department at USSC. Ryder has called their network techs, and we now wait for them to find out which computer the emails have been sent from. I know it’s not much, but we’re closing in.” He let out a deep breath.
“But can you keep her safe? Or is it time to call the police?” I knew he could keep her safe, but I needed to know that he believed he could, too.
“We can keep her safe. The new guys are doing great, so Marco or two of the new guys will be on her at all times. If she’s with you, we still need someone on her. Of course, not when you are in this room. But when you leave this room. Always, Zane.”
“Of course. I don’t want anything to happen to her, Dax.” I looked over to the bedroom before I continued. “I want her to be our PA, and she will only do so if her stalker is caught. I understand that, so I really need your guys to find him before we go on summer break. She needs her freedom back. Or a
s much freedom as she can have while dating me.” I smiled.
“Yes, dating you must be a pain.” He grinned.
“Thanks for the update, Dax. I hope you find him soon. She needs the closure.”
“I hope so too. And I know we will. Ryder is working around the clock on this. And you know he has the training to find someone who doesn’t want to be found.” Yes, that was right. Ryder worked in the Special Forces before he joined Dax. And apparently, he was a genius on a computer. Especially when he needed to track someone.
After talking for a while, Dax left, and I walked into the bedroom. When I opened the door, Anna was smiling at me. I walked over to the bed and lay down beside her, pulling her close to me.
“Morning, baby, did you sleep well?” I kissed her.
“I did, how about you?” She smiled at me. Her eyes were still sleepy, and her hair was messy. But she was still beautiful.
“I did. I love sleeping next to you.”
“Who were you talking to before?”
“Dax.” Her whole body went tense the moment I mentioned that. “No need to worry. He just wanted to give us an update. Your stalker is either working or studying in the business apartment at USSC. And Ryder is now working with some techs from USSC to find out which computer the emails have been sent from.”
“Still no name?” She closed her eyes and rested her head on my chest.
“Not yet. But they will find him, okay?” I kissed her on the top of her head, needing the reassurance myself as much as she did. I needed her to be safe. That was the most important thing right now.
