This chapter is short, but should be pretty interesting!

Chapter 16

Last Bus Out

She woke up in his arms and smiled into the sapphire eyes looking down at her. They were in her cramped bedroom on the bus headed to the next city on the tour. Tommy couldn't wait to get to the hotel, because Jude had a hang-up about having sex with SME so close by. She had let him have her in a public bathroom, but not in the privacy of a bedroom. He thought it was so cute. They were spending more time together than they had before because Portia's return was just a few days away. They tried not to talk about it and instead enjoy what remaining freedom they had. He didn't want to waste a moment without her. He lowered his head and brushed his lips against hers. Soon the light touch was not enough and he deepened the kiss as his hand slid underneath her t-shirt. He groaned as she quickly stopped his progress.

"Tommy!"

"Please Jude, just a little..." She laughed as he tried to kiss her neck. She rolled away from him and got up. He pouted at her as he watched her from the bed as she put on a pair of shorts. "Jude."

"Hmm?"

"I love you don't forget." He didn't know why he felt compelled to remind her.

"I love you too Tommy Q." She bent down and tangled her hand in his messy hair, bringing her lips to his. As he started to wrap his arms around her waist she pulled back out of his reach. She shook her head at him.

"You'll have to be good, if you want me to be good... later..." He arched an eyebrow at her provocative words.

"Baby I like it better when you're bad." He reached up and grabbed her hand, pulling her down before she could even react. His body covered hers, preventing any chance of escape. He persuaded her with mouth, tongue, hands and teeth until she didn't care if even Dave heard her screaming Tommy's name.

The Surprise

Portia spied her handsome husband by the refreshment table and started walking towards him a smile on her lips. She had missed him so much these few months, but Paris had been an amazing experience. She had flown back as soon as classes were over, wanting to surprise him. She had just dropped her stuff off at the hotel and found out the band was here rehearsing. Her steps stopped suddenly when she noticed what he was doing. He had just poured coffee into a Styrofoam cup, which wasn't unusual since she knew he loved coffee. The part that made her stop was the fact that he was adding cream and sugar to it. She knew he drank it black.

A slender blond haired girl dressed casually walked over to him and put her hand on his arm. She had on tight jeans and a red tank top, not Tommy's usual choice of one night stand. Her husband normally liked them decked out in tight skin baring outfits with perfect hair and perfect makeup. He turned and smiled at the girl, handing her the cup. She could see how intently Tommy was focused on her, as he hung on her every word. The flirting didn't really surprise her. Portia knew Tommy had probably not been faithful while she'd been away, but she was the one he had married and she was the one he would come home to. There were always so many willing groupies hanging around the tours and he couldn't help but take what was offered.

This was different though. Portia had never seen her husband be tender with anyone or considerate of their needs. Her blood froze as she watched their body language for another moment before going over to them. A man coming from the stage, saw Portia watching the couple. He grinned as she walked over to join them. Let the games begin. He thought to himself. He watched as Portia introduced herself to Jude.

And The Games Began

Jude put her hand on Tommy's arm, their skin tingled where it met. He turned and smiled giving her that look that he saved only for her. He handed her the coffee and she smiled back.

"Thanks." She took a sip, still surprised sometimes that he remembered exactly how she liked it.

"So did you ever find Wally?" Jude laughed. Wally, Kyle, J.P. And Bruno had all gone out last night. Everyone found their way back except Wally.

"He showed up at 10 this morning with his clothes all torn up. Apparently he passed out on someone's lawn and their poodle attacked him." They were both laughing when a woman walked up to them. Tommy's face froze and Jude seeing his look dropped her arm. Jude turned to look at the newcomer, who proceeded to lean up and kiss Tommy lingeringly on the mouth.

"Portia I didn't think you were coming back till the end of the week..." Tommy croaked out. Portia gave him a dazzling smile.

"I wanted to surprise you babe." Portia turned to get a closer look at the girl who her husband was interested in.

"Hi I'm Portia Quincy. Tommy's wife." She held her hand out for Jude to shake. The girl looked uncomfortable as she took it and quickly dropped it.

"I'm Jude Harrison." Portia thought she knew that name from somewhere, but couldn't place it. Jude felt an arm drape across her shoulders and turned her head expecting to see Spied, but it was Chaz gazing back at her. Tommy stiffened visibly, at Chaz touching his girl.

"Hey Portia... Welcome back. I see you've met my girl." Chaz said smiling at Jude who gave him a weak smile in return. Portia relaxed, thinking she had gotten it all wrong. "You're looking fine as usual. Paris definitely agreed with you." He said eying her up and down. She was wearing a tight expensive black dress, Black stilettos, gold hoops and a gold belt lending the perfect touch to her outfit. Jude felt under dressed in comparison, as if meeting her lover's wife wasn't awkward enough.

"Chaz Blackburn and monogamy. Wow. I never thought I'd see the day."

"Hey if Tommy here can do it so can I. Sometimes you just find the one that's worth it." Chaz saw Tommy jerk slightly at his words, and grinned internally. They exchanged pleasantries, although Tommy was pretty silent, even when Portia linked her arm through his.

"Hey I got an idea. Why don't we all go out for dinner tonight to celebrate your return Portia? Someplace nice. My treat." Chaz suggested. He knew it would be bad for the band if Portia actually found out about Tommy and Jude, but he could still have a little fun making Tommy squirm. Spending time with Jude was also high on his list of priorities.

"That sounds great Chaz." Portia answered for the both of them. Chaz turned his head to smile at Jude.

"You have something to wear babe? I'd love to take you shopping..." She nodded quickly.

"I'm all set..." She half mumbled. Thank God E.J. Had made sure she brought a couple of dresses with her and Sadie had also left her a couple before she had gone home. Because Chaz taking her shopping would probably have caused World War 3 between him and Tommy. Jude forced a bright smile that didn't reach her eyes as she looked at the other woman. "It's been great to meet you Portia, but I have rehearsal with my band now. I'll meet you guys in the hotel lobby tonight?" Jude ducked out of Chaz's embrace.

"8 good for everyone?" Chaz asked and they all nodded their heads. Jude walked away quickly, her heart in her throat.
