I'm glad you all enjoy the story. Here's the next chapter.

Chapter 17

Tommy spent his nights bored. During the day, he and Karma would be in meetings, then at night he would just sit in his hotel room. Of course the only thing ever on his mind was Jude. He hoped he could pull off her birthday perfectly. He was flipping through channels mindlessly wishing he were in Toronto at Jude's show. He loved watching her perform. It was like she just came alive on stage. He found an award show on and it reminded him of the year before when Jude was nominated for a people's pick.

After the fiasco with the picture in the tabloid, things at G Major had been tense. Darius had told them both that he didn't want to know one way or the other, but what ever had to stop. He didn't want the kind of publicity this was getting for G Major. He even threatened to take Tommy off Jude's album. Jude's mom hadn't been much better considering they broke one of her conditions. They had to cool it for a few weeks.

When Jude got nominated for a people's pick, there was no way they could go to the show together. They had to pick cover dates because it wouldn't look right if they went stag either.

After the award show, they were at his place celebrating since she won. His lips were attached to hers as soon as they were inside. He'd craved to have her near him all night. She moaned into his mouth, parting her lips to deepen the kiss. He took advantage, and massaged her tongue with his. He pushed her against the wall in the living room. He moved his mouth to her neck. His tongue ran over her collarbone.

"Couch." She said.

He moved them over to the couch. Hovering over her, he stared into her eyes. They were always so expressive. "What are you thinking, Big Eyes?"

"That model was a little much tonight, don't ya think?"

"I was looking at you all night. But what about Mason, Jude, that's really believable. He is so gay."

"You knew?" She asked in a shocked voice.

"You didn't? Come on, Jude."

"No, I didn't know. I thought he had a crush on me."

"Sure. So what was going on with Spiederman tonight and why did you stay in the bathroom?"

"Spied was being an ass because I asked Mason and not him to be my cover date. When I went to the ladies room, I lost one of those really expensive earrings Portia had me wear. I thought it went down the toilet, but it was just on the back of my dress."

"That's good. Did I tell you how beautiful you looked tonight?"

"I don't think you did. We had to take other dates to the show."

He nuzzled her neck kissing underneath her ear. "So beautiful, you put that model to shame." He kissed her ear lobe and moved lower lightly sucking making his mark.

He felt her relax as she ran her fingers through his hair. He started slightly tickling her sides. Jude started giggling. "Tommy, stop."

"Or what?" He joked in a husky voice.

"You're going to ruin this dress that I have to take back to Portia tomorrow."

As she was talking he was already pulling the dress up her legs. "Then the dress has to go." He whispered. His fingers were feather light on her skin.

She met his eyes, and he was amazed at the trust he saw in them. She rose up enough for him to unzip the back and pull it over her head. He buried his face in the crook of her neck while his hands roamed her body. Her silky skin felt amazing under his fingertips.

"You know, I trust you with everything I am." Jude's voice brought him out of his thoughts.

"I love you so much." He said sincerely.

"I know. I love you, too." She said before he met her lips in yet another breath taking kiss.

Honestly, he couldn't remember the last time he'd had sex, but with Jude it wasn't like that. He knew she was trusting him with her body and her heart. Nothing would happen until he knew she was ready. Right now he was going to enjoy the feel of her skin under him knowing that one day it would be more.

That night knowing how much she trusted him, made him love her even more. God, he was ready to get home to her.

Jude woke up with a smile on her face. It was a week before her birthday. She was going to have the perfect party, perfect dress, and the perfect guy. She couldn't wait. The best part about this day was Tommy was coming home. A week was too long to be with out him. She needed to get to G Major early because she had to finish the presentation for Darius. She was looking forward to working on her third album.

Tommy was so glad to be home. He'd missed Jude like crazy and just wanted her in his arms. He was in his office with the lights out. They'd left Montreal so early that morning that he needed a few minutes to rest before getting to work. They'd come straight to G Major after getting into town. Jude wasn't expecting him until later. He heard her voice floating through the air. He eyes flew open when the door opened behind him, and he didn't waste any time. He saw her figure in the dark and heard her gasp when he spun her around. "Don't say anything." He whispered and his lips crashed against hers.

Jude moaned in shock when she felt Tommy's warm lips rubbing against hers. It startled her because Tommy wasn't supposed to be home yet. She heard him make a frustrated groan, silently telling her to relax and give in to the kiss. So, she did.

As soon as he felt her relax, re reached up and cupped her face while softening the kiss. His fingers dove into her wavy blonde hair as he pulled away slightly only to come back for more. He'd missed her lips so much. They way she always gave just as much as he did. He wanted to taste her, so he tilted his head to the side and plunged his tongue into her mouth.

Jude groaned with pleasure at the feel of his tongue rubbing against hers. She felt so much passion in his kiss. A week apart was too much. Thinking about how much she missed him made her groan and plunge her fingers in his hair as she pulled him closer.

Tommy groaned at her aggression and backed her against the door, wanting to feel her body against his. He never wanted to be away from her again. He tore his lips away from her and ran them over her jaw line and down her neck.

Jude arched her head back against the door and clutched a handful of hair with her fist. "Tommy." She said huskily when she felt his warn tongue on her neck.

He groaned her name before he captured her lips once more. They stayed just like that until both needed air.

"I didn't expect you home yet." Jude said when she caught her breath.

"We got an early start. Karma was in a rush for some reason." He said with a laugh.

"And here I was thinking she'd be enjoying being away with you."

"I missed you so much."

"Me too, babe, me too. I got the presentation ready to show Darius. I'm really thinking he'll like the idea."

"I hope so. The more time I get to spend with you the better."

"I can't believe you are actually here." She said smiling.

"I don't ever want to be away from you again." He responded resting his forehead on hers.

"Me neither." She kissed his lips lightly. "You ready to go blow Darius' mind?"

"Let's go."

An hour later, they are back in his office. "So, he didn't like it." Jude sighed.

"Hey at least we get to prove it's a good idea. Why don't you come over tonight? I'll cook us dinner and we can figure out some places to get our samples."

"Okay."
