Need You Now
Chapter 11: Jealousy Rears It's Ugly Head
Lily was absolutely thrilled! Rufus had pulled some strings with Jake, the tour manager, and got her the job of being Lincoln Hawk's photographer. Lily had met with Jake and showed him the yearbooks the pictures she had taken pictures for, as well as her section in In the Know. Jake had loved her work, and hired her on the spot.
Needless to say, Lily had packed her stuff up and was storing it at Rufus' apartment. He had gotten his apartment back, and, though he would be on tour for a month, had decided to keep it. He had a huge advance from the record company, which paid for it anyway. Now, neither she nor Rufus had to worry about renting a storage area.
The tour was the very next day, and Lily was getting ready to move out of her mother's house. Rufus would be there to pick her up any time now. However, Lily didn't want to leave on bad terms with her mother, so she was going to try to get her mother to lighten up a bit.
She gave her room one last look before she would go find her mother.
She lay down on her bed, closing her eyes and savoring her brief, final moment of lying on it. In a way, it was kind of sad. Her childhood days were long since over. She had graduated two months ago already.
She smiled as she thought of the private celebration she and Rufus had had in his apartment that night. He had her up practically the whole night. Not that she was complaining.
They had had dinner with Cece after the ceremony so that she wouldn't gripe about not being able to spend time with her daughter on her daughter's graduation day. However, right after, Cece went home, and they headed to a teen club with Jenny and Billy.
They had danced and had a blast. Though, Rufus hadn't been too happy when Billy had cut in to dance with her.
Lily thought back to that moment.
"May I cut in since my girlfriend's in the bathroom?" Billy asked.
Rufus glanced at him with distaste. There was just something about Billy that he didn't like. He knew Jenny could do so much better. "Sorry, you're not my type."
Billy smirked. "You know what I mean."
Lily smiled. "It's okay, Darling. Will you go get me a Pepsi? My mouth is so dry." She didn't want to be rude to her best friend's boyfriend. He was a little forward, but he was nice enough.
Rufus glanced from Lily to Billy; unsure.
"Please, My love? You get me back when you come back." She smiled in such a way she knew Rufus couldn't say no to her.
He sighed, but, after giving Billy one last warning look, he took off to get Lily her drink.
"He's a little possessive, isn't he?" Billy asked with a smirk once Rufus was out of earshot.
Lily smirked as well. "He can be, but I find it incredibly sexy."
"Just so long as he's not overly possessive, because that's just not healthy!" Billy said.
Lily couldn't help but chuckle at this, and it caused Billy to chuckle as well.
"So, what are you doing with him anyway?" Billy asked, nodding towards Rufus. "You're hot. You can get any guy you want. You don't have to settle for a wannabe rockstar. There are lots of wealthy men out there that would give their right arm to be with you—maybe even their left arm too."
Lily shook her head. "I don't care about money, William. I love Rufus, and he loves me. He's my everything."
Billy shrugged, his hands tightening around her waist. "To each their own."
Lily sighed, but continued slow dancing with him while she waited for Rufus to return. She gently rested her head on his chest, though she didn't know why. Billy didn't feel nearly as good as Rufus did.
Rufus loudly cleared his throat as he came back with Lily's drink. "I'll take my woman back now, please."
Billy turned to him and smirked. "Your 'woman?' Is that really a respectable way to refer to her, Rufus?"
Rufus' eyes narrowed at him. "You're not one to talk about respect, Mr. Sleep with his girlfriend even when she is drunk!" The night of the prom was still etched in
Rufus' mind. Jenny was Lily's best friend, and therefore, he cared about Jenny. It was almost as if she were his little sister. He didn't like how Billy treated her. She seemed more like a trophy to him than anything.
Billy smirked. "Stay out of my love life, Humphrey. That is, if you know what's good for you."
Rufus clenched his fists, his eyes never once leaving Billy's. "Then stay out of mine if you know what's good for you!"
Billy chucked. He then turned back to Lily, and kissed her cheek. "Thank you for the dance."
Rufus gave Billy a look to kill as Billy headed to find Jenny.
Billy returned the look with a smug smirk.
"I don't like that guy at all. Jenny can do so much better!" Rufus grumbled as he handed Lily her drink.
Lily smirked. "Thanks, My love. And, the feeling's mutual. He told me he thought I could do better than you."
"That son of a bitch! What did you say to him?" Rufus asked, looking around for Billy, looking beyond ticked off.
Lily smirked, unable to resist the urge to tease him. She kept her tone serious. "I told him he's totally right, and that I'd ditch you so that he and I can hook up tonight."
Rufus quickly turned his attention back to Lily. "Well, I hope Jenny wasn't too attached to him because now I have to kill him," he joked right back.
Lily grinned, as did Rufus.
Lily took a long sip of her drink, then set it down on a nearby table, and pulled Rufus in for a deep and passionate kiss. "You should know by now you're the only man for me, Rufus. I told him so."
"And what did he say to that?" Rufus asked.
Lily shrugged. "He said to each their own." She grinned. "You wanna get out of here?"
Rufus nodded, his hands resting around her waist. "I was just going to ask you the same thing."
Lily grinned, as did Rufus. They then told Jenny and Billy they wanted to go. They were going to send the limo back for them, but Jenny and Billy both wanted to leave too, so they all left together, getting dropped off last.
They almost made love in the limo, but managed to get home first.
Rufus had carried her inside, then made love to her practically the whole night.
Lily shivered at the thought, and wrapped her arms around herself with a smile. She hoped Rufus wouldn't be too tired after his shows to have nights like that with her.
Cece knocked on the door, and Lily sat straight up on the bed.
"It's not too late to change your mind and go to Brown, you know. Your acceptance letter was sent, thanks to me."
Lily shook her head. "I'm not going to change my mind, Mother."
Cece shrugged. "Fine. If you want to ruin your life, then it's on your hands."
"I'm not ruining my life, Mother." Lily sighed. "Can we please not do this? Can I please leave on good terms with you? I love you, Mom, and I don't want to fight with you."
Cece sighed. She slowly walked over to Lily, and sat down on the bed next to her. She put an arm around her. "I love you too. I just get upset when I don't see you living your life to its full potential. You're a smart, attractive woman, Lily. I know you can do so much in your life if you just put yourself out there a little! I want you to go to college and get a degree in something. You're a wonderful photographer. Maybe you could be a photo journalist. I'd settle for anything at this point as long as it meant you going to college!"
Lily rested her head on her mother's shoulder. "I'm not saying I'll never go, Mother. I'm just saying I want to take a break from school. I just got done with doing twelve years of school—not counting preschool and kindergarten! I just want some time to be with Rufus and enjoy life a little."
Cece shook her head. "There will be plenty of time to enjoy life after college. And, who's to say college wouldn't be enjoyable?"
Again, Lily sighed. "Can't we just compromise? Can't you be okay with me touring with Rufus if I promise to eventually go to college?"
"I'll never be okay with you choosing to tour with him instead of going to college." Cece sighed. "But, I suppose it's good you'll at least be doing something to give you credibility, what with taking pictures for the band and all. It will look good when you finally do decide to go to college—and for any job you may want to get in the future. It's a definite career builder, though not quite as good as going to college would be."
Lily smiled up at her mother. "Thanks, Mom."
Cece smiled at her daughter, and gently rubbed her back. "I just want what's best for you. Your sister isn't exactly living the life I dreamed for her. I just wanted it to be different with you."
Lily sighed, and rested her head against her mother's shoulder. "Carol and I have to live our own dreams, Mom. Sometimes they aren't necessarily going to be the same as yours."
Cece sighed as well. "I know, but it does't make it any easier. I feel like I'm losing my little girl all over again."
"You're never going to lose me, Mom. I may get married one day, and even have children of my own, but you're always going to be my Mom. Nobody's ever going to take that away! A girl always needs her mother."
Cece smiled down at her daughter, and squeezed her tightly. "I appreciate you saying that."
Lily shrugged. "Well, it's true. I'll never stop loving and needing you, and neither will Carol."
Cece kissed her daughter's cheek. "And I'll never stop loving and needing you."
"I would hope not!" Lily said. "I'm your daughter for goodness sake!"
They both laughed.
The doorbell buzzed then.
Lily smiled at her mother. "That's Rufus." She stood up, then hugged and kissed her mother one more time. "I love you. Always remember that."
"Right back at you, Lillian," Cece stated, giving her daughter a hug and a quick peck on the cheek.
Lily smiled, then headed for the door.
"Oh, and Lily?" Cece called after her.
Lily paused in the bedroom doorway. "Yes, Mother?"
"I didn't mean you have to leave the house for good. If things don't work out between you and Rufus, or you two have a fight, you're always welcome back here," Cece told her.
Lily smiled. "I doubt that will happen, but thanks, Mom. It's good to know."
Lily then ran towards the front door, unlocked it, yanked it open, then jumped into Rufus' arms with a squeal.
Rufus laughed, and held her tight. "What a welcome!"
Lily smiled down at him. "I'm just really happy to see you."
Rufus' eyes lowered with love for her. "And I'm happy to see you, Lil."
They kissed, and Lily sighed with contentment. This was where she belonged—nowhere else. There was no doubt in her mind.
"When does mom come into the story?" Jenny asked.
"Soon," Rufus promised.
"I'm not sure I'm going to like that part." Scott looked over at his half sister and brother. "No offense."
Dan shrugged. "None taken."
"If it weren't for my mom meeting my dad, Dan and I never would have been born," Jenny said in response.
"Too bad they didn't stop at Dan," Eric and Scott both quipped in unison.
Eric and Scott burst into laughter, and high-fived. Even Chuck smirked.
Dan snickered, and Serena just shook her head.
Jenny shot Eric and Scott a nasty look. "Very funny."
Lily was smirking; trying her best not to laugh for Jenny's sake.
"You know, sometimes I think the same thing," Rufus joked; wanting to get his daughter going.
"Well, at least then I wouldn't have to look at you every day," Jenny quipped back without missing a beat.
The look on Rufus' face was priceless. They all had a laugh at Rufus' expense—even Lily.
"Thanks! You're my wife. You're supposed to have my back," Rufus said to his wife with a pout.
Lily smiled, and gently moved his face to hers. She kissed him. "I have more than your back."
Rufus grinned.
Dan loudly cleared his throat. "All right, back to the story, please!"
Serena nodded. "Yes, I think that would be a good idea."
Rufus grinned at his child and stepdaughter. "All right, fine. But I'm taking over now."
"And I'll chime in on the parts when you weren't there," Lily added.
"Great, whatever, just keep going please," Dan said.
"The way children talk to their parents nowadays!" Rufus commented. Even so, he continued. "The tour started off without a hitch. Well," He looked at his wife. "Lily wasn't too pleased with the sleeping arrangements, but other than that..."
Lily smirked. "I was used to better accommodations. I was rich, you know."
Rufus glanced at her. "Not much has changed there, Lil."
She nodded, her hand on his arm. "Good point."
Rufus turned his attention back to the kids. "Anyway, I guess I'll start when she saw the tour bus. She was none too thrilled to see the size of the bunks."
"Not to sound like a spoiled diva, but, how are we both going to fit in one of these? I mean, they barely look big enough to fit one of us!" Lily whined when she came onto the tour bus and saw a tiny row of bunks—two on each side.
"Don't worry, Lily. There's a king-sized bed in the way back that you and Rufus can share," Jerry said.
"Thank you!" Lily said.
Rufus nodded. "Yeah, thanks, Jer."
"Wait. Why do they get the big bed? We're just as much as part of the band as Rufus is," Bobby complained.
John and Andy quietly voiced their agreement.
Jerry rolled his eyes. "Because there is two of them, and only one of us per bed."
"But what if I want to bring a lady back? You know how many groupies I have. The ladies love me!" Bobby blew on his fist, and rubbed it against his shirt.
Lily smirked. "I think they'd prefer the bunk anyway because, with the curtain closed, it probably gets really dark in there. I'm sure the ladies prefer it to be dark so they don't have to see your face when your screwing them."
Rufus laughed, as did John, Andy, and Jerry.
"Ooh! She got you big, Dude!" Andy said, clapping a hand over Bobby's shoulder.
"Yeah, well it is just as dark with the lights out in the back room," Bobby said; only thinking of a way to argue Lily's excuse. Then it hit him that he had just been insulted. "Wait. Hey!"
They all, minus Bobby of course, laughed.
"Dude! Really?" Jerry asked, clapping him on the back.
"Whatever," Bobby grumbled, giving Lily the evil eye.
Lily smirked. "All right. I don't want to be any trouble. I appreciate you guys letting me tour with you. I'll tell you what. There are four weeks of this tour, right?"
The others all nodded.
"Well, Rufus and I will get it the first week since, like Jerry pointed out, there is two of us. However, Jerry can have the second week, Bobby, you may have the third week, and Andy you can have the forth," Lily tried.
"Hello, what am I? Chopped liver?" John asked.
Lily blushed. "Oops! Sorry, John. I forgot about you."
"Well, I don't mind sharing the bed with you during my week, if you're not weirded out by it," Jerry said to John.
John shrugged. "I don't care. It's a King-sized bed. There will still be plenty more room sharing that with you on a King bed than there would be by myself on the single. But, if we have a girl we want to bring in for a quickie..."
Jerry smirked. "We'll work something out if that happens."
John nodded. "Deal!"
"Good! I'm glad that's all settled. "Now, if you all will excuse me, I need to shower while you guys do your soundcheck," Lily said, dragging her big suitcase towards the back room.
"Did you pack for a month or a year, Lily?" John quipped.
Lily stopped, and turned her head towards him. "I'm a woman. We need more things to get by than a man does." With that, she continued into the back room, and shut the door behind her.
Bobby, Andy, John, and Jerry all looked at Rufus.
Rufus shrugged and grinned. "Gotta love her, right?"
His three four friends all rolled their eyes, but smiled nonetheless, though shaking their heads as they did so.
Lily finished with her shower and, once she was dried, dressed, and looking fabulous, she headed into the arena to watch her boyfriend and his band finish up their soundcheck.
She headed to the front row, and was about to take a seat when she saw some blonde girl, who looked to be about her age. The girl was dressed in a pink jumpsuit with black ankle boots that had what looked to be four inch heels. She was dancing to the music, her hands in the air. She was smiling big at Rufus. Already Lily hated her.
Lily walked right over to her and stood by her, giving her a once over with distaste.
The girl looked Lily over, looking just as unimpressed. She then turned her attention back to Rufus and blew him a kiss.
Rufus smiled at the girl, and pretended to catch the kiss with his hand.
Lily's eyes narrowed. She didn't know who in the hell this girl was, but one thing was for sure—the bitch had to go!
Lily walked right up to the stage and smiled big at Rufus. She licked her lips, and made a motion as if she were kissing him.
He looked at her, the desire in his eyes clear as he licked his lips in return.
Lily smirked. She knew how to keep her man's attention. This bitch ought to watch out if she knew what was good for her!
After the soundcheck, Rufus sat down on the stage, then half pushed, half jumped off. He put his arm around Lily. "Did you like what you saw?" He grinned at her.
Lily glanced at the blonde girl. "I did until I saw her." She nodded at the girl. "Where did she come from? I didn't know fans were allowed at the soundcheck."
Rufus shook his head. "They're not, but she jumped the fence and seemed so enthused with our music, we decided to let her stay."
Lily wrapped her arms around Rufus' waist, and narrowed her eyes at the girl. "Yeah, well I think you're the only one she's 'enthused' with."
Before Rufus could respond to that, the girl came over to them, twirling some of her blonde hair with her right index finger, and smiling, all googly eyed, up at Rufus.
Lily rolled her eyes. Oh, Brother!
"Hey! You were great up there! Thanks for letting me stay," the girl said.
Rufus smiled politely at her. "Why, thank you! Have you seen us perform before when we opened up for Nine Inch Nails?"
The girl nodded. "Yes, but I had such horrible seats. I was in the last row of the balcony. At least I could still hear you, and of course see how hot you were on the screen." She batted her eyelashes, and smiled slyly.
Rufus chuckled. "Well, thank you!" He blew on his fist and rubbed his chest, a la Bobby. "So, what's your name? I take it you already know I'm Rufus." He extended his hand to her.
The girl smiled and extended her hand as well; shaking his. "I'm Allison—Allison Baker."
Rufus grinned at her. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Allison Baker." He kissed her hand.
Allison grinned, and pulled him close by way of his hand. Then, she planted a kiss right smack dab on his lips.
Lily gasped out loud. Oh I know she didn't just do that!
Rufus smirked, and licked his lips. "What was that for?"
Allison grinned. "Just for being so hot."
"Yeah, well, next time I would appreciate it if you didn't kiss my boyfriend," Lily said coldly.
Allison glanced at her. "Sorry. I couldn't resist. Besides, I figured you were just some groupie. I didn't know he had a girlfriend."
"Yeah, well, he does, and I'm it. In fact, you're the groupie. You'll have to find a new member to hit on." Lily held tightly to Rufus' arm. "This one is mine. The others are single though." She then kissed Rufus hard on the mouth.
Allison smirked. "I'll see you around, Rufus. I have front row this time. My father knows people who know people, and managed to pull some strings for me."
Rufus eyed Lily with a lustful look on his face. He hungrily licked his lips. Then, he turned his attention back to Allison. "All right, cool! I'll see you tonight then."
Alison smiled slyly at him. "Indeed you will." She then walked off, smiling at Rufus from behind her shoulder.
Lily clenched her fists, and narrowed her eyes at Allison. "Slut!"
Rufus laughed. "Why, Lily Rhodes, are you jealous?"
Lily narrowed her eyes at him. "No, I just don't like trashy sluts kissing my man."
Rufus kissed her, then took her hand in his own. "Well, you don't have to worry, because no one's kisses could ever compare to yours. And, speaking of which, I loved that one you gave me."
Lily smiled. "Oh yeah?" She kissed him hard on the mouth again.
He moaned. "Mm, after the show, I'm so going to take you to bed."
Lily licked her lips. "Why not now?"
"Because I'm hungry, and I need to eat something before the show tonight or I'll get weak and pass out." Rufus grinned at her.
Lily grinned as well. "Well, we can't have that now, can we? I need you to have plenty of energy tonight, not only for the show, but for after the show."
Rufus' eyes lowered, and he licked his lips again.
He kissed her passionately, then they smiled at each other, and headed hand-in-hand to find a good place to eat.
That night at the show, Allison was at it again, dancing on her chair even, her arms in the air. She was smiling and blowing kisses at Rufus throughout the show, and it was ticking Lily off by the minute!
Needless to say, by the time the show was over, Lily was ready to deck her.
"What did I tell you about staying away from my boyfriend?" Lily asked her, having taken her arm and pulled her aside.
Allison shot Lily a nasty look, and roughly pulled her arm away. "Don't touch me, for starters. Second off, you said not to kiss him. You never said anything about staying away from him."
"Yeah, well that was implied," Lily said icily.
Allison smirked. "You're not the boss of me, and Rufus is a big boy. I think he can decide who he does and does not want to hang out with."
Lily clenched her fists. "I'm about two seconds away from punching you right in the face."
Allison smirked. "I'd like to see you try. All it would get you is a free stay overnight in a holding cell."
Lily clenched her fists harder, and cried out loudly in frustration. Who is this chick? She knew she had to get away from Allison before she did something she shouldn't.
She headed backstage. At least Allison couldn't go there.
Rufus smiled when he saw Lily walk over to him. He pulled her close, and kissed her deeply. "Hey, Love. Did you enjoy the show?"
Lily snuggled up against his chest. "I did, but that Allison chick was making me mad. She kept flirting with you throughout the whole show!"
Rufus smirked.
"Did I just hear someone speak my name?"
Lily whipped around to see that Allison had now come up to them. She narrowed her eyes. "What are you doing here?"
Allison smirked, and dangled her backstage pass, which was hanging on a metal ball chain. "With my front row ticket came a backstage pass. Gotta love my father and his connections."
"Or hate him," Lily quipped.
Allison glared at her.
"So! How did you like the show now that you had a better seat?" Rufus asked Allison, eager to change the subject before Lily and Allison tore each other's hair out. Not that he wouldn't like seeing two beautiful woman fighting over him. He smiled to himself at the thought.
Allison smiled, and walked closer to Rufus. She pushed Lily aside.
Lily gasped.
Allison then placed a hand overtop of his shoulder. "You were amazing! I'm surprised you guys didn't get signed earlier. In fact, Nine Inch Nails should have been the ones opening up for you!"
Rufus smiled. "Aw, thanks! "But the whole band is great. It's not just me. I'm lucky to have them."
Allison smiled slyly. "I don't know. I'd say they're lucky to have you!"
Lily rolled her eyes, and was about to say something smart, when Allison did it again. She stood up on her tiptoes and kissed Rufus. It was only on the cheek this time, but it was a kiss, nonetheless.
Overtaken by anger, Lily pushed Allison hard. "Get the hell away from my boyfriend! I told you that before!"
"Lily! Don't be rude!" Rufus scolded.
Allison placed a hand over Rufus' back. "It's okay. She's just a little possessive. I would be too if you were mine."
Lily narrowed his eyes at her. "Well, you're not, so back off!"
"Lily, stop it! She's just being friendly. It was only a kiss on the cheek this time. There's no reason to get hostile with her!" Rufus scolded again.
Lily shot Rufus a look. "You're defending her over your own girlfriend?"
Rufus held his hands up in defense. "She didn't do anything!"
Lily couldn't believe he was acting his way—her own boyfriend. "You know what? Fine. Why don't you just hang out with her then? I'm going back to the bus."
With that, Lily turned on her heel and left, ignoring Rufus' calls for her to come back. If Rufus wanted to flirt back with that slut, then so be it! She didn't need him. She didn't need anybody!
Unfortunately, the tears in her eyes betrayed her theory.
Lily decided to take a shower. She had taken one earlier of course, but she just wanted to be under the warm water again. It relaxed her.
She was in the shower for only about five minutes when the curtain opened.
She gasped, and instinctively jumped back, her hands covering her body.
She narrowed her eyes when she saw it was Rufus. He was nude, and obviously looking to shower with her.
"This shower is already taken in case you have't noticed." She turned away with distaste.
He stepped in anyway, and pulled the curtain shut.
Lily glared at him. "I told you, I—"
Rufus cut her off his a kiss.
Instinctively, Lily wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him in return. She broke the kiss. "I'm still mad at you."
Rufus nodded. "And you have every right to be! I'm sorry I stood up for Allison. It will never happen again, I promise. I told her that, though I'm happy to have her as my fan, and though she is a very beautiful, sweet woman, I have a girlfriend, whom I love more than anyone on the planet, and that it would be best if she didn't kiss me anymore—even just on the cheek."
Lily looked up at him with puppy dog eyes. "Really?"
Rufus nodded. "Really! You're the only one I could ever want. You should know that by now." He trailed his fingertips slowly down her back, and kissed her, his eyes lowered with love.
Lily kissed him back, instantly forgiving him. How could she ever stay mad at him?
She broke a kiss as things started to get heated. "Mm, not here. Let's go to bed."
Rufus kissed her neck. "Good idea." He turned off the water, then picked her up.
Lily smiled. "Are the others coming back? We should probably put a towel on or something—even if it is just from here to the bedroom."
Rufus shook his head. "Jerry mentioned something about going to a club after the meet n' greets. I told him and the guys to not come back for an hour or so."
"Don't you have to be at the meet n' greets?" Lily asked.
Rufus shrugged. "I was there for a bit. But you're the only one I want to meet n' greet." He grinned.
Lily giggled, and they kissed as he carried her out of the bathroom, and to the bedroom.
"I'm glad the door has a lock," Lily said with a smirk as Rufus laid her down onto the bed then went to shut and lock the bedroom door.
He turned back to her with a grin. "They're not going to be back for a while anyway. This is just a precaution." He climbed into bed with her, and took her into his arms.
Lily took him into her arms as well, and soon they were kissing again, their hands roaming the other's body.
Rufus continued to kiss Lily's mouth for a moment, then moved his kisses to her breasts, then down her stomach, and eventually lower.
Lily moaned, her eyes closing and her head thrown back both instinctively.
She gripped his hair tightly with her fingers as he pleasured her in a way she had never been pleasured before. However, just when she couldn't take it anymore, he stopped.
"What did you stop for?" she asked out of breath as Rufus climbed back up her body.
He grinned at her, then brushed his lips against her left ear. "Wouldn't it be more fun if we do something that we can both physically enjoy? Not that I don't enjoy making you writhe in pleasure with just my tongue, but—"
Lily cut him off, her eyes darkened with lust. "Just make love to me before I explode."
Rufus' eyes soon matched Lily's. He kissed her and entered her at the same time, causing her to moan against his lips.
Soon, they were intensely kissing, touching, and making love, rolling over each other; fighting for dominance.
Rufus won out, and soon they were both reaching their ultimate satisfaction, their lips not wanting to leave the other's.
They lay in each other's arms afterwards, both smiling.
"That was the best yet, I think!" Lily said after a sigh of contentment. She gently rubbed Rufus' chest with her fingertips.
Rufus kissed her. "I know it was!"
They both grinned, and kissed some more.
"So, do you think Allison could ever do that?" Lily asked after a bit, a smirk on her face.
Rufus smirked back at her. "I don't know, but I could find out if you want."
Lily gasped, and swatted his arm.
"Ouch!" Rufus said, feigning hurt as he rubbed his arm.
Lily rolled her eyes. "That didn't hurt."
"How do you know? Was it you who was slapped?" Rufus' grin gave him away.
Lily smiled. "Well, maybe I should help take your mind off the pain then." She took his arm and gently kissed it. She then kissed his stomach, and went lower until she was pleasuring Rufus the way he had pleasured her earlier.
Rufus' eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he rested his hands on the back of Lily's head, gently playing with her hair.
It didn't take long before he lost all control. He felt even more pleasure when he saw that Lily didn't seem to have a problem with that.
Moments later, Lily had crawled up his body, and they were kissing again, his hands massaging her breasts.
"We're never going to get any sleep if you keep doing that," she said with a smile.
Rufus kissed her. "I don't want to sleep. I want to make love to you all night."
Lily licked her lips. "I want that too, but I'm tired, and you need some sleep for your show tomorrow."
Rufus sighed. "Oh, all right! I love you."
Lily kissed him. "I love you too."
They kissed for a moment more, then just lay in silence until they eventually fell asleep, Lily's breathing lulling Rufus to sleep, and Rufus' heartbeat lulling Lily to sleep. Both had never been more content.
Rufus smirked as he surveyed the kids. Chuck, was grinning widely. Dan had the most disgusted look on his face, which made Rufus burst into laughter.
"Was it really necessary giving them that much information, My Love?" Lily asked, giving Rufus a stern look.
Rufus smirked at her. "What? It was so good, I felt it needed to be told! Furthermore, I like grossing out the kids." He grinned at the kids.
"I think I'm going to be sick," Scott said. "It affected me more than I thought."
Lily smiled. "Well, you wanted to know when you were conceived. I'm pretty sure that was the time."
Scott suddenly looked ghostly white. He got up and ran for the bathroom.
"Mother! Talk about TMI!" Serena scolded.
Lily smiled and shrugged. "What? He wanted to know when he was conceived. I told him."
Rufus laughed again. This time, Lily couldn't help but laugh a little too as she looked at him. He had been right—it was fun grossing out the kids.
Jenny crinkled her nose. "I'm glad we have more than one bathroom." She got up and ran upstairs to the upstairs bathroom.
Eric looked positively green. "I don't think I'm ever going to get those images out of my head. I think I'd like to start seeing my therapist again."
