This was supposed to be a one-shot, but it's gotten quite long so I've decided to put it into chapters. It's only a short story...about 3 chapters long.

Lily rolled over in the small tour bus bed, flinging her arm out carelessly to the right of her and coming into contact with a warm chest whose owner emitted a sleepy 'ouch' at being so rudely awakened.

"Lil that's not the way I enjoy being woken up."

Lily giggled slightly before moving her arms back under the duvet.

"Sorry Rufus, I forget how small these beds are sometimes." She leaned over and kissed the spot on his chest that she had just hit.

"It's too late to make it up to me now." He said, smirking. Lily rolled her eyes.

"I didn't hit you that hard." She rubbed her arms under the duvet. "It's freezing in here, and where on earth are we?"

"Not sure right now, but we'll be back in New York tonight for the last gig. And right now, you are in bed with a wannabe rock star, who is finding it incredibly hard to keep his hands off you, and we don't have to do anything until we get back to New York"

Wannabe rock star was right….he was sure he was going to conquer the music world back then.

He pulled Lily to him, turning her around so that he was spooning her from behind, gently he started kissing her neck whilst his hands slipped under the t-shirt she was wearing. Lily sighed happily as Rufus started to caress her breasts and she felt her body begin to yield unto him. He continued to kiss her neck as he moved one of his hands southward, whilst the other stayed on her breasts. Lily was moaning softly and rocking her body back against his erection, sending shooting waves of arousal through his body. He softly caressed the top of her thighs, teasing her slightly.

"I love touching this part of your body." He whispered into her ear. "It's so soft….and so close to your…" Lily didn't let him finish. "Uh-huh…" she said, wanting his hand to just move up a few more inches so that he could begin pleasuring her properly. She ground her body onto his erection in order to get her point across. In response he moved his thumb up to her folds and skimmed it lightly across her clitoris, teasing her and smiling slightly to himself as she gasped his name. Gently he kissed the back of neck again and proceeded to stroke the top of her thigh again. "Mmm I love this part of you Lil" he said again. Lily could only nod against him, now desperate for his touch. He continued to tease her for several more minutes, alternating the caress of her thighs with a slight caress of her clitoris before giving into her and pushing two fingers up into her. It was now his turn to moan as he felt her wetness, and how turned on she was by him. He curled his fingers up slightly as he entered her again, knowing how to hit her g-spot, and set a pacey rhythm. As soon as Lily started to clench her hands up in the sheets he knew she was close.

It was still one of her tells, even years later.

He trailed kisses up from the top of her neck, all down her nape and between her shoulder blades as he continued to pleasure her. As much as he wanted nothing more than to slip his erection out and slide it into her he resisted. They didn't usually have time to themselves to enjoy taking it slow like this, and since they weren't due to arrive in New York for a few more hours. As he pumped his fingers into her he allowed his thumb to stroke her clitoris in time with his ministrations. "Oh Rufus…don't stop.." she gasped, close to the edge. With a few more thrusts she was there and he felt her clench around him and call out his name. Removing his fingers from her he wrapped his arms around her body, with was quivering with aftershocks and held her close. She turned around in his arms and kissed him slowly. "Oh Rufus" she whispered. He smoothed some hair away from her forehead that was stuck there with a light sheen of perspiration. She lay there in his arms happily for a few moments, allowing her breathing and heart rate to return to normal.

It was possibly one of the best feelings she had ever felt, lying in his arms, post orgasm. She never had that feeling replicated with any of her husbands or other sexual partners. She wonders why she ever let him go.

When it did she looked up at him, the light of arousal shining in her eyes. She skimmed her hands down his body. "Ready for your turn?" she said, moving in to kiss him hungrily.

Unfortunately, a frantic knocking on his door and a shout by his band mate Tommy, put an end to that plan.

"Rufus, you need to come and see this!"

"Oh no" Rufus mumbled. "Not now!" he managed to shout. He was painfully hard after listening to Lily orgasm, knowing that he made her squirm and call his name.

"I can't go out like this!" he said, both frantically and frustratingly. Lily silenced him with a kiss.

"I'll go. You stay." She leant down to kiss him again and ran her hands down his body for good measure. "Exactly how you are." Swinging her body out of the small bed she pulled on a Lincoln Hawk t-shirt and a pair of leggings.

She would never wear those clothes around anyone else. When she had left for France she made sure to take one of his t-shirts with her. It lasted 2 weeks before his scent started to disappear.

"Hurry back!" Rufus said, rolling over onto his back, cursing Tommy and whatever it was that had interrupted him and Lily's private time. He could hear a murmur of conversation from outside the door but couldn't make out any specific words. 'Probably just something to do with our final gig tonight.' He thought, unconcerned. They'd come to the end of a small tour of bars and pubs in New Jersey, and whilst it didn't pay well, the exposure was exactly what they needed. Lily had come along for the ride, and too do their photography, and although she griped about the size of the bed in the bus, and the general uncleanness of a bus filled with 4 young men, he knew deep down that she loved every minute of it. It was the chance to escape the stifling and controlled life that she led back in the city that she so desperately needed. Plus the extra time they got to spend together was amazing. He smiled to himself as he thought about the surprise he had planned for Lily for Valentines Day tomorrow.

Alison hated Valentine's Day, called it 'a day dreamt up for pure commercial gain.' He wet to great lengths to plan their first one together, only to be crushed when she laughed at him.

Lily suddenly poked her head around the door. "Erm, we seem to have a problem." Rufus half sat up.

"I have a problem!"

"I know, but this is serious." She came into the room and perched on the bed. "We're snowed in. Tommy can't drive the bus any further, it's not safe. He's pulled over on a small town called Chaney, there's no way we can make it to New York today for the last show. Not until tomorrow at the earliest, and that's dependant on whether they grit the roads." Rufus felt like someone had taken a bucket of that snow and poured it over his manhood. He looked at Lily, bewildered.

"But it's February." Lily arched an eyebrow at him.

"Rufus it still snows in February."

"We'll miss the gig…." Suddenly it dawned on him that it also meant that his plans for tomorrow might also fall through. Sex completely forgotten about now he pulled on a t-shirt and a pair of pyjama bottoms before storming out of the room to find out exactly what was going on. As soon as he made his way out towards the front end of the bus and looked out of the windows, the problem was evident. He stood in the small kitchen, contemplating the situation.

Lily and him in the same kitchen the first time they were alone on the bus together, him trying to teach her how to make waffles. Lily kissing him with batter on her hands; flour in her hair.

His band mate Tommy appeared at the door.

"Snowed in? Really?!"

Tommy rubbed a hand through his hair.

"Yeah dude. I tried to drive further but the roads are too icy. It was just easier to pull over in this town. We aren't going anywhere until they grit the roads."

Rufus' face fell as he grasped the full extent of the situation.

"No….I need to be able to get to New York at least by tonight."

Tommy stepped into the tiny kitchen and pulled out a beer from the fridge, twisting off the top and tossing it into the bin. He took a long drink and shrugged.

"It's no big deal, it's just one show. I'm sure they'll understand."

"It's not about that." Rufus said. "I have this amazing Valentine's surprise all planned out for Lil and I."

"Can't you just phone and cancel? I'm sure you'll be able to get some of your money back." Rufus shook his head.

"It wasn't really that kind of surprise"

"Sorry man, I'm sure she'll understand."

"Yeah I hope so." He said glumly.

"Look, Ted and Charlie have gone off to a dive bar at the end of the street, go and have a few beers with them and Lily. There's nothing more we can do."

They'd met in a dive bar. Lincoln Hawk were playing and she was trying to get some candid photos for her portfolio. She had looked so out of place he couldn't fail to notice her.

He walked back into their tiny bedroom.

"Well, it seems that the weather is an unpredictable as you." He said, leaning in to kiss her gently.

She smiled.

"Well, I'll take that as a compliment"

"You are sounding just like your mother"

"Well I'll take that as a compliment"

They both knew she was lying.

Feedback is good karma.
