Chapter 40
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
"What do you mean, 'We're going to Aspen'?" Mason asked skeptically.
"Exactly what it sounds like," Bucky said as he pulled out his phone. "Go home, pack a bag. We're leaving as soon as the flight crew can get things ready."
Mason narrowed his eyes. "What are you up to?"
Bucky rolled his. "I'm not 'up to' anything."
"Lies, lies, lies…" He bolted upright and shook his head. "Wait! I DO know what you're up to! Not cool Big-bro!"
Bucky's eyebrows rose, waiting for him to continue.
"Like I'm going to say it out loud and have you confirm it. Oh, no… If it's what I think it is, I'm going to need plausible deniability when your sister finds out! She's going to be pissed!"
The sound of giggling coming from the stairway caught their attention.
"So… are you going to be the one telling them we're leaving?" Mason asked with a smirk.
"Zed!"
Her cries of his name sounded around them and reverberated off the padded acoustic walls of the recording studio as they found their shared release.
He collapsed on top of her, his body soaked in sweat, hers damp beneath him. Their ragged breathing was the only sound echoing in his ears as they fought for the oxygen between them. "Fuck…" he breathed out, kissing her tiredly. "It's been way too fucking long since I was inside of you…"
She let out a soft laugh as his arms wrapped around her. "Longest two days ever."
His chest shook with silent laughter. "Feels a hell of a lot longer than two days."
She shook her head and looked up into his eyes. "Know what I want to do?" she asked with a devilish smile gracing her lips.
Zed let out a ragged breath. "You're going to have to give me at least five minutes before I'm ready for round two."
She giggled again and stood up. "As much as I love the sound of that, I had something else in mind first."
"And what's that, Baby?"
"Well… we're at my house… what did we usually do post-coital bliss?"
He smiled and stood up, whisking her up in his arms. "I love the way you think."
"And I love you."
His smile grew wider as he leaned down and kissed her again. "I love you, too… Forever."
"And after…" she breathed against his lips. "Now take me upstairs!"
He chuckled and stole another quick kiss. "Yes ma'am…" He walked them over and opened the door to the sound booth, looking around for the first time. "Oops… I forgot we were recording."
Addison let out a soft laugh. "Glad they decided not to interrupt."
"I'm just glad Bucky didn't storm in and punch me in the face again."
She ran her hand across his bruised cheek. "Remind me that I owe him one."
"I landed my fair share."
Her nose scrunched up as she smiled. "True… but I still owe him one."
He brushed a soft kiss across her lips before carrying her up to the music room on the third floor. He sat them down on the cool black piano bench, with Addison still straddling his waist. His lips trailed kisses down her jaw as his fingers found the keys.
"I've been cleaning up my messes
I've been paying off my debts
Cause it's time I learn my lesson
What you need is what you get..." she sang along with the melody he was skillfully building, gasping as his teeth scraped across her collar bone.
"I need your fingerprints
I need your fingerprints
I need your fingerprints all over me
I need your fingerprints all over me
All over me tonight…"
"I plan on leaving a lot more than my fingerprints on you…" he whispered into her ear as he bit down, sending shivers of the best kind down her spine. Her eyes closed as she laced her fingers in his hair, holding his mouth against the sensitive spot just below her ear.
"Touch me, baby
Drive me crazy
Give me shivers baby
Head to toe..."
"If you two were still in the booth, I'd so have that on tape…"
Zed wrapped his arms possessively around Addison, blocking her from view. "We're a little busy at the moment, Mase…" he practically growled.
"Dude, relax…" he laughed from the doorway. "I've seen you both naked more than I can count."
"Yeah… that was before you slept with my girlfriend."
Addison rolled her eyes and smacked his chest. "Okay, this is the last time this is being brought up…" She looked between the two of them. "I love you both. And I finally have both of you back in my life. I finally feel like things are starting to return back to normal." She grabbed Zed's face and kissed him. "Z, you are the love of my life. Alpha and Omega forever and after… but… we weren't together when Mason and I hooked up. Let it go…" She looked over at Mason. "Are we going to be able to move past this?"
"Adds, I love you like family. We were both high out of our fucking minds and grieving. We can definitely move past it."
She smiled and looked back at Zed.
He ran a hand down the side of her face and pulled her in for a soft kiss. "You're right. I'm sorry… I was being a territorial asshole."
She giggled and rolled her eyes. "Normally, I love when you stake your claim, but this isn't one of those times."
"I know."
"Good… Now, with that out the way… Mase, we're a little busy at the moment."
Mason barked out a laugh. "Yeah, well… It was either me or your step-brother that had to come tell you, and I figured I'd spare everyone Bucky's dramatic meltdown if he walked in on the two of you in your current state of undress."
"Appreciated," Zed chuckled.
"Tell us what?"
"He knows about everyone being in Aspen."
"Shit…" Addison rolled her head back. "How much trouble am I in?
"Surprisingly none."
Her head snapped over to him. "Seriously?"
"Yeah."
"Well, that sounds very un-Bucky like," Zed laughed.
"It gets better," Mason added.
"Better?"
"Yeah, we're going to Aspen!"
Zed and Addison both stared at him, blinking.
"What?" Mason asked.
"I'm not getting bitched out by my brother, AND we're going to join everyone? The fuck is going on?"
Mason shrugged and smiled. "No clue! But we're leaving soon. So get dressed!"
The snow was coming down in heavy sheets as the door opened to Donnelly jet.
"Why the hell didn't we just call Niles to come get us?" Bucky complained. He popped the collar of his jacket and braced himself against the cold storm.
"You said you didn't want anyone knowing we were coming. If I called Niles, and he wasn't around if anyone else needed him, then they would have known something was up. Besides, we already had a car here." Addison snapped. "Quit being such a baby."
Zed chuckled and he draped his arm around Addison's shoulders as they started down the steps."How the fuck did I not piece things together sooner? You two fight like siblings."
"No, we don't!" They both shouted at the same time.
Zed, Eliza, and Mason all laughed.
"Fifty bucks says she decks him before the end of this trip," Mason pretended to whisper.
"I'll raise you fifty…" Addison mumbled as she tucked herself further into Zed's side.
"I heard that," Bucky griped.
"Good."
As they approached the parked Mercedes, Bucky headed for the driver's door.
"What are you doing?" Addison asked grabbing his shoulder.
"What does it look like?"
"I'm driving."
"No… I'm driving."
"Dammit, Bartholomew! You drive like a goddamn grandma! I'm driving!"
"And you drive like a maniac! I'd like us all to get there in one piece!"
"I'm a great driver!"
"Says the crazy lady who drove off the side of the fucking freeway up here! You don't get to drive in Aspen ever again! Now give me the fucking keys!"
Her eyes narrowed and her fists clenched.
"I'm driving," Zed interrupted, pulling her out of swinging distance.
Bucky threw his hands in the air. "You don't even know where you're going!"
Zed and Mason both laughed.
"Yeah… I do… I drove Adds here the other night and myself yesterday."
"Not to mention the fact that Z always drove when we came out here in high school," Mason added. "Unless we were drunk… or stoned… or both… that's when we'd call Niles."
"And, I already have the keys," Zed replied as he dug in his pocket and held them up high out of Addison's reach.
Bucky froze for a moment before shaking his head. "Still so fucking weird…" he shrugged his shoulders and motioned towards the car. "Be my fucking guest."
ZzZzZzZzZ
The snow was coming down even harder as they walked up to the front doors of the house. Music and laughter could be heard pouring out from inside.
"I can't believe you left them unsupervised…" Bucky mumbled, shooting a glare towards his step-sister.
Addison rolled her eyes. "It's not like I planned to! And Niles was here! He would have called me if something happened."
"That's beside the point! Why the hell did you bring everyone out here, to begin with?"
"Are we really doing this? Because my Fuck You list is waaaay longer," she snapped. "I'm sorry if I wanted to spend a fun, celebratory weekend with my friends, where I didn't have to fucking hide who I am or who I'm in love with! And if you think I'm not still pissed the fuck off at you from last night, you're wrong! Don't think for a second I'm over it!"
He sighed and shook his head, motioning for Zed to let go of Addison enough so that he could move in for a hug. "You're right… I'm sorry… I love you Addie-loo and I never meant to hurt you like that."
"Not to interrupt a sibling bonding moment, but can we fucking kumbaya inside? I'm freezing!" Mason complained through chattering teeth.
Addison giggled and hugged her brother back before turning to unlock the door. A heavy cloud of smoke billowed out as it opened. "Well it certainly smells like they're having a good time," she laughed grabbing Zed's hand and pulling him along. "I'm baaaaaackkkkk…" she called out as she stepped into the main room, getting everyone's attention.
"Honey-bunny!" Tracey exclaimed jumping to his feet and running over to her, lifting her up in a tight hug.
"Jesus, Zedward… what the fuck happened to you?"
Zed rolled his eyes. "Nice to see you to Wynnie."
Tracey let out a gasp as Bucky, Eliza, and Mason walked in. "Uh-oh… I think I know…"
"Oh, shit…" Wyatt said, standing up and getting a good look at the matching black eyes they were sporting.
"So….I'm guessing the boss man knows?" Wynter asked nervously.
Addison smirked and nodded. "Yeah, he knows alright…"
Willa tilted her head to the side as she tried to put the pieces together. "… how…"
Addison took a deep breath. "Well… Bucky walked in on us in Malibu."
"And why was Bucky in Malibu?"
"Because he flew out with me…"
The four of them leaned in, anxious for her to explain further.
Addison turned to Bucky and dropped her voice to a whisper. "Just remember, coming out here was your idea, and payback is a bitch, brother-dear… I don't want to hear shit about what I'm about to say…"
"Adds…" he warned.
"You really left me with no choice." She turned back towards them. "Bucky is my step-brother and we both needed to be in LA for a meeting. After the meeting, he and his girlfriend…" she motioned towards Eliza, "were supposed to be out having a romantic night at a hotel but decided to come and check on me. That's when he found us. You can tell how well it went by the bruises."
Everyone in the room was in stunned silence.
"Where's Bree?" Addison asked, looking around the room, unfazed by their reactions.
"The same place they've been since we got here the other night," Wyatt muttered, still processing everything.
Addison, Zed, and Mason all silently looked at one another and smiled before tearing off towards the stairs.
Bucky rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Seeing the three of them together is so fucking weird."
"No…" Willa said standing up and grabbing a bottle of tequila from the table, pouring herself a drink. "What's weird is the fact that YOU are Pom-Pom's step-brother."
"No wonder you're so pissy every time I touch her," Wyatt laughed.
Bucky glared at him.
"You and Eliza are together?!" Tracey exclaimed.
"Surprise?" Eliza pretended to give spirit fingers as she smiled.
Bucky pinched the bridge of his nose. "I need a fucking drink…"
ZzZzZzZzZ
"Shhh…." Addison tried to whisper through giggles as the three of them tiptoed down the hallway towards Bree's room. She stopped them outside the door and mouthed a silent countdown before throwing open the door. "Surprise!"
Bonzo let out a string of expletives as he tumbled off the bed and Bree grabbed for the sheets.
"What the… OMG!" she shrieked, wrapping the sheet around herself and jumping off the bed towards them. "I never thought I'd see the three of you together again!"
"This couldn't have waited?" Bonzo griped, reaching for his boxers.
"Nope!" Addison replied with a large smile as Bree hung from her neck. "I owed you both an interruption… several if I really think about it."
"When did you… How did you…"
Mason chuckled and kissed the top of Bree's head. "Easy there, B… don't hurt yourself."
Bree took a step back and looked at them. "I can't believe we're all back together!"
Addison looked up to Zed and Mason and smiled before looking back to Bree. "It feels right, doesn't it…"
"Understatement! Start talking! I want to know EVERYTHING! Wait…" She pointed to Zed, "Bucky called me… are you okay?"
He nodded and wrapped Addison back in a hug. "Yeah… I'm okay… we all are."
She let out an exhale of relief. "Thank god… okay, NOW tell me everything else!"
Addison giggled and took a deep breath as she launched into the explanation. "So that meeting I had to rush off to was because Daddy's being inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. I asked Mase if he'd perform with me and Z."
Bree's jaw dropped open, just as Bonzo walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Wait…" he said. "Did I just hear that right? You guys are going to play the tribute show?"
Zed nodded. "Yeah… crazy, right?"
"How the hell are you going to pull that off and keep it on the DL?"
Addison and Zed exchanged a look before they both shrugged. "I guess that's why Bucky wanted us all together tonight?" Zed offered as a guess.
"Bucky's here?!" Bree nearly shrieked. "Shit! How much trouble are you in?"
"Surprisingly none… but I'm sure I'll have to pay for it somehow," Addison mumbled as Mason looked anywhere but at her.
"I'm gonna go drop my bag," he said, slowly walking out the room towards the room he usually stayed in. He opened the door and let out a curse.
"What?" Addison asked popping her head into the hallway.
"Who the fuck's shit is in my room?"
She rolled her eyes and pulled Zed along with her, allowing Bree and Bonzo a moment of privacy to get dressed. "First off, it's not 'your room'," she laughed. "And secondly, It's not like I thought there was even a snowball's chance in hell that you'd be here this weekend when I told Tracey which room he'd be using."
"Dude, what's the big deal? You usually pass out on the couch anyway," Zed teased.
Mason shrugged. "True…" he tossed his bag onto the bed and turned back towards them. "And speaking of that particular energy-sucking couch, I'm heading back downstairs."
As the five of them started to walk back towards the stairs, the sounds of a funky guitar rift wafted through the air. Mason bopped his head to the beat.
"Damn, that sounds good."
"Sounds like, Wyatt," Zed said as he crouched down and swooped Addison up, making her squeal in delight as he hoisted her over his shoulder and dashed down the stairs to join them.
"Just like the rain outside
Your body's sweating, dripping wet
And I just can't control myself, no, baby…" Willa sang along as Wyatt played the guitar.
"Be my obsession, my possession
Baby, I got fine selection
This must be your lucky day, baby…" She leaned over and bit his ear just as he started to sing the chorus.
"I wanna jack it, smack it
You know the shit that turns you on, Ah
I wanna lick it, kiss it
I'll give you everything you want..."
"Ooh, howling out your name…" Wynter and Tracey joined in.
"Ooh, running like champagne
Ooh, you're gonna feel the bite...
When the wolf comes out tonight…"
"Zedward!" Willa exclaimed as she hopped up from Wyatt's lap and ran over to them. "Jump in!" she said as she jumped onto the side of his body that Addison wasn't occupying.
"OOF!" he laughed, readjusting both women so he could walk them over to one of the unoccupied sofas and dropped them onto it. "A little warning next time, Wills," he teased, pretending to be out of breath.
"We're waiting…"
He rolled his eyes playfully and looked over to Wyatt. "Play me back in."
Wyatt took another puff of the joint he was smoking before picking the melody back up.
Zed kneeled down in front of Addison and took her face into his hands. "I watch you burn this place to ashes, move that ass, and raise a glass to how you love to misbehave, baby…"
"We don't talk about that fire, Zed…" Bucky warned, ignoring the middle fingers they both flashed at him."
"Be my addiction, my prescription
Baby, I got a condition
It must be your lucky day..." He closed the distance between them and crashed his lips against hers as their friends around them hooted and howled, and Bucky scowled.
Willa stood up on the couch and started to dance as she sang again. "I wanna jack it, smack it
You know the shit that turns you on, Ah
I wanna lick it, kiss it
I'll give you everything you want…"
"Is it always like this?" Mason asked Bucky as he sat down next to him by the fireplace.
Bucky couldn't help but chuckle. "I can't say they're ever this…spirited," he said as he watched half the members of The Acey's blend in seamlessly with the members of Zombies and The Pack. "I'm used to having to be ready to break up a fight. This…" he motioned around them. "This is so much better."
"Gee, I wonder what's different," Eliza laughed as she flopped into his lap, holding up a blunt for him to take. "You know, besides the fact that no one in this room feels like they have to hide anything right now."
"Don't start, E…"
"I'm just saying, like I've been saying…"
Bucky exhaled and shook his head.
"What's she been saying?" Mason asked before leaning forward and addressing Eliza directly. "What have you been saying?"
"That we'd all be better off if he ditched barbie and let Princess and Tracey take over."
"Princess?"
"My sister," Bucky replied.
"Boy is that fitting…" Mason laughed. "And who's Tracey, other than the person Adds gave my room to?"
"The guy singing with her right now," Eliza said pointing to the coffee table that Addison and Tracey were dancing on.
"I wanna see you breathing...
I got the windows steaming...
I wanna see you breathing…"
Mason took the blunt from Bucky and inhaled. "God, if I could get this down on tape…" he said around the smoke he was holding in.
Bucky smiled and smacked Mason on the back, making him cough. "That's the plan."
ZzZzZzZzZ
Addison and Tracey collapsed back onto one of the plush sofas in a fit of giggles.
"You and I have GOT to talk," he said as quietly as he could.
Addison smiled and grabbed the half-empty bottle of tequila off the table, taking a large swig. "About what?"
"Um, Bucky?"
"...Is my idiot step-brother."
"Any more secrets you've been keeping, doll face?" he smiled.
She pursed her lips deep in thought. "No….OH wait! I guess I should probably tell you that the meeting I had to run off to was because my dad is being inducted into the hall of fame."
"No fucking way!" All three members of the pack exclaimed loudly as they piled on top of her, offering their congratulations.
Tracey pushed Wyatt out of the way so he could hug her. "That's so exciting! What hall of fame? Was he a football player? Is that how you two met?" He asked pointing over to Bree.
Wynter let out a barking laugh. "You don't know?"
"Do I look like I know sports?" Tracey said with an overly dramatic eye roll.
"He was a producer," Addison giggled.
"That's even cooler! How did I not know that?! Is that how he met your mom? Have I seen his movies? I didn't even know they had a hall of fame for that!" Tracey rushed out excitedly.
Wyatt could barely contain his laughter. "Pom-Poms, please tell him… he's so clueless it's cute"
"Tell me what?"
"My dad was a music producer."
Tracey's jaw dropped open.
Willa laid down across them, her head landing in Addison's lap. "He wasn't just a music producer," she added, looking at Tracey. "He owned Bamm! Records, and Princess here is the heir apparent."
Bucky chuckled as he watched it all unfold from across the room. "And that's my plan…" he whispered to Mason.
Addison couldn't help but laugh at the expression on Tracey's face.
"How the… what the…" he looked around the room at everyone. "Am I the last one in here to know this?"
"Sorry…" Addison whispered, leaning over to hug him.
"You… Bamm!… That means you could…"
"Don't even think it," Zed laughed as he leaned over the back of the sofa and smacked a kiss onto her cheek. "That's Addison Donnelly rule number one. No using the name to get ahead in the biz."
"Yup," she replied with a sharp head nod. "If we're good enough to deserve a deal, it'll happen."
"She didn't even use her real name when she sent a demo to Bamm!, back in high school," Bree said with a large smile.
"Seriously?" he asked with even wider eyes.
"Yeah," Zed answered, jumping over the back of the couch so he was now in front of them. He shook his head and bit his lower lip as he locked eyes with Addison. "You remember the day you found out they wanted to sign you?"
She ran her tongue along her lip tattoo and nodded.
"One of the many times I walked in on you two at the record store," Mason teased as he walked over to join the conversation.
"Well that sure sounds like a juicy story," Tracey said in a breathy voice as his eyes roamed over Mason from head to toe.
"We were just making out… that time," Addison replied.
"You would have been doing a whole lot more if I hadn't walked in."
Tracey held out his hand as he looked into Mason's eyes. "I don't think we've been introduced… I'm Tracey."
"Mason, nice to meet you, man… especially since it looks like we're roomies tonight."
Tracey sat up a little straighter. "Are we now?"
"Yeah," Mason chuckled. "Hope you don't mind… I usually end up passing out on that couch anyway. I really just needed a place to stash my bag."
"Stash away…" He turned to Addison and mouthed a silent Oh my god!
Addison bit back a laugh as Tracey turned back to Mason. "So… how do you fit into all of this?" he asked, waving his hand around.
"Addie's best friend growing up. Zed's best friend once he moved to Cali. The person responsible for introducing them. And the person Adds' left her dad's studio to."
"You have the LA studio?" Willa asked in surprise.
"Yes…"
"Damn, Mason… that's… impressive," she said with a nod of approval.
He shook his head and snickered. "Thanks, Willa. Good to see you guys again by the way."
"Likewise," Wyatt responded, punching Mason's shoulder. "You still playing?"
"When I can."
Tracey's head bounced back and forth as he followed their conversation. "What do you play?"
"Drums," practically everyone in the room replied in unison.
Addison bit back a giggle, knowing that Tracey had an affinity for drummers. "Wanna see him play?" she whispered in his ear.
Tracey's head nodded quickly.
She stood up and cracked her back. "Well this has been fun and all, but I'd much prefer a real jam session… with more than just a guitar. Wanna go downstairs?"
"What's downstairs?" Tracey asked.
"The studio."
He stood up and gasped. "You have a studio here?"
Zed chuckled as he stood up and wrapped his arms around Addison's waist, dropping his head to kiss her neck. "All the Donnelly houses have studios."
"Do I want to know how many that is?"
"No," she replied as Zed picked her up by her ass, wrapping her legs around his waist.
"Do you two have to do that?" Bucky whined.
Wynter punched him in the arm. "Oh leave them alone, Boss Man. This is the Zeddison we all know and love."
"Told you so," Mason laughed. "You get used to it."
Bucky rolled his eyes before dropping his head into his hands. "May I still remind you all that Lacey will have a shit fit if she finds out about any of this?"
"Fuck Lacey," Willa said with a shrug of her shoulders. "Why should any of us have to hide anything anymore?"
Tracey stood up and sighed. "No… Bucky's right. As much as I love you guys and love all of this, if she found out, it would be disastrous, and we just started the new tour… we need her to stay blissfully in the dark."
"That might be hard considering the three of us are going to be skipping town every so often between shows to deal with ceremony planning and rehearsals," Addison said motioning between herself, Zed, and Bucky.
"I'll come up with some way to manage that," Bucky answered as he scrubbed at his face.
"Are we going to sit around and worry or are we going to go make some fucking music?" Wyatt asked with a laugh. "You know we'll make this shit all work out."
Addison kissed Zed's cheek and wiggled out of his arms. "You remember the door code?"
He nodded and leaned down to steal another kiss.
"Go ahead and bring everyone downstairs. I'm going to grab a few bottles to bring down to help keep the party going."
"You got it, Gorgeous."
As everyone followed Zed down the stairs towards the basement studio, Addison stayed back, grabbing Bucky's arm as he passed.
"You fucking owe me…"
"What are you talking about?"
She rolled her eyes and grabbed a couple of bottles of alcohol off the bar before following everyone else down to the basement studio.
"So I think Tracey has a thing for Mason," Zed said through a yawn as he walked into the bedroom from the bathroom. It was quickly approaching three in the morning, and they had all just called it a night after hours downstairs drinking and playing. "Did you see the way he was eye-fucking him all night?"
Addison sat up from her spot in bed, letting her eyes wander down his bare chest. She bit her lower lip as she followed the V of his abs below the waistband of his sweatpants. "Yeah… then again, Tracey has a thing for drummers. What was surprising was the way Mase flirted right back…. Tired?" she asked almost breathlessly.
"Fucking exhausted," he yawned again. "Aren't you?"
She stood up and walked over to him, her hands tracing the lines of his muscles. "I'm suddenly very awake…"
He watched her as she took off his t-shirt that she had been wearing and dropped to her knees in front of him.
She could see his arousal already pressing against the soft cotton of his pants. "Looks like I'm not the only one."
Zed looked down at her with a look of love and lust. "God do you look hot on your knees…"
She pulled the sweats over his hips and down his muscled thighs. "I'm always hot."
"That's for fucking sure… And you're all mi..."
She didn't give him a chance to finish his sentence. She opened her mouth and flicked her tongue over his tip before taking him deep into her throat, making him let out a string of expletives that would make a sailor blush.
His fingers laced through her hair as he pulled, making her moan around his length. "Shit…" he hissed.
Back and forth, up and down she went, teasing the underside of his shaft with her tongue before swirling around the tip and back down. She could feel her own arousal igniting as his moans of pleasure fueled her fire.
"Baby, if you don't stop now, I'm going to blow and I really want to do that buried deep in your pussy."
She pulled off with a popping sound and looked up into his eyes. "You say the most romantic things…" She lifted herself up on her toes and pressed her hungry mouth against his.
With a growl, he wrapped his arms around her and lowered her to the bed. He positioned himself at her entrance. Slowly, he teased her with the tip, sliding her juices up and around her clit. "Romantic, huh? How's this for romantic…" Lowering his mouth to the hollow of her throat, he sucked the tender flesh there before nipping at her with his teeth. "Lying in bed with my baby… you make me weak… make me crazy… for your love… for your love…" he sang against her skin as he pushed into her.
She gasped and lifted her hips to meet him. "Definitely romantic… New song?"
"Something I'm working on…" he chuckled as he gripped her legs and wrapped them around his hips. She locked her ankles behind his back and in one rapid movement, he completely filled her.
A cry of pleasure slipped from her mouth as his cock stretched her completely.
"Not finished yet…" he murmured as he pressed his head against her shoulder and began thrusting.
At first, his movements were slow and calculated, pushing and pulling her toward the edge. However, as their need burned brighter and hotter than any of the flames in the fireplace, desire turned into something much more.
He gripped the headboard above them and began to fiercely push into her, causing her to gasp for air. He used the bed for leverage, moving faster and harder, her nails raking long tracks down his back. If he felt the pain, he didn't show any signs. If anything, it only urged him on.
"Harder," she moaned as she reached around and gripped his ass, pulling him deeper inside her. "I need more…"
Zed's teeth clenched as he pounded into her with reckless abandon.
"Yes!" she nearly cried as she grew closer and closer to her release.
Suddenly, he withdrew, and in one rapid movement had her rolled over onto her stomach. Roughly he pulled her up to her knees and plowed into her. Skin slapped against skin as he slammed into her from behind.
She felt like she was being torn apart at the seams, but loved every second of it. She screamed into the pillow as Zed's hand roughly landed against her ass.
"Fucking love this thing…" he said through gritted teeth as he palmed her ass roughly.
"Yes," she moaned. "Fuck, yes. More...please!" she begged.
Zed reached forward and grabbed her hair, savagely yanking it back as he pumped furiously into pussy, his other hand landed over and over against her ass until it grew warm. "Are you going to come for me, Baby?" he rasped. His breath was cool on her swear-dampened back as she arched and bucked against him, meeting each of his wild thrusts with one of her own.
"Yes," she moaned loudly. "So fucking close."
Her inner muscles trembled and then contracted, pulling a low growl from him. Goosebumps exploded across her body and her toes began to curl as she grew closer to falling off the edge of release.
Zed reached around with one of his hands and roughly stroked her clit. As he did, he bit down on her shoulder. The flicking of his skilled fingers in time with his strokes and the sharpness of his teeth was all it took to send her flying.
The lights around her seemed to dim as a wild scream tore from her throat. Her fingers curled into the mattress as she struggled to gain a breath. Zed continued to slam into her, his balls slapping against her swollen slit until his movements became jerky and unsteady.
He released her hair and gripped her hips with both hands. The tips of his fingers bit into her skin in a way that would certainly leave bruises. She loved every second of it.
With a loud cry, Zed slammed into her one last time before going completely still. Their breathing was unsteady as they collapsed onto the bed together.
She rolled over, still panting. "I love you… so fucking much."
Zed rolled over and pulled her in for a searing kiss that left them both panting for oxygen once again. "I love you too… forever."
She smiled and kissed him softly. "And after."
"This sounds fucking amazing," Bucky said as he slapped Mason on the back. "I guess maybe you have learned a thing or two over the last few years."
"Bass needs to be turned up," Addison said from the doorway, finally letting her presence be known. "If you're going to go behind my back and orchestrate this whole trip to get a demo on tape, the least you could do is make sure my boyfriend and our friends sound as perfect on tape as they do in real life."
"Adds! How long have you been standing there?"
She shrugged her shoulders and walked into the room, plopping down onto one of the plush sofas. "Were either of you going to tell me or were you hoping I wouldn't figure it out?"
Bucky scratched the back of his head. "What are you..."
She rolled her eyes and sat up. "Really? I knew what you were up to the second you didn't freak out that everyone was here and you invited Mase along. So quit playing dumb and just say 'thank you' for getting everyone down here earlier... God only knows what piss poor excuse you two would have come up with!"
"Um… Thank you."
Mason raised his hand. "I want to take this opportunity to state for the record that this was entirely his idea…"
"Gee… thanks, Mase," Bucky mumbled under his breath.
"You're not mad, are you?"
Addison shook her head and smiled. "No. I'm not mad… Just because I didn't want to send something to Bamm!, directly, doesn't mean I don't want to give everyone else a chance… So… I repeat… the bass needs to be turned up on that last track."
Mason adjusted the bass level and played it back. "Better?"
She nodded. "Much… how many tracks did you manage to get down?"
"Enough for an EP… wanna listen?" Mason asked, gesturing towards the control deck.
She nodded and walked over to hit the playback button. She listened carefully for a few minutes and rolled her eyes. "Mase, get up."
"What?"
"Suit yourself…" She sat down on his lap and started adjusting the reverb.
"What are you doing?" He fussed, smacking her hand away.
Bucky rolled his eyes and laughed. "Some things don't change. Mason, just let her do it… you know it's going to sound better."
"That was before I had several years of being a well-respected producer under my belt. I think I might know what I'm doi…" He stopped talking when Addison pressed the playback button, hearing the adjustments that she had made. "Dammit… you're still better than me."
She shrugged her shoulders and flashed him a smile. "Sorry… It's in my blood."
Mason rolled his eyes as Bucky laughed. "Whatevs… did you come down here just to critique my work or did you have some other purpose?"
"Other than catching you two red-handed?"
"Obviously…"
She giggled and nodded. "Z's birthday is next month, and I figured while we're here and he's sleeping, it'd be the perfect time to get a track down to give him as a present." She pulled the small silver flash drive out of her pocket and held it up. "Any chance you wanna help me out? Unless you've got plans upstairs with a certain raven-haired guitarist…" she smirked.
"Even if I did, do you really think I'd pass on the opportunity to be a part of the epic Zeddison mixed tape? Hell yeah, I'm in!" he said reaching out to take it from her.
She closed her hand around it. "This does not get released or shopped around. Understood?"
"Absolutely."
"Alright…" she handed it over and patted him on the head before standing up and walking into the sound booth.
Bucky stood up and walked over to him. "What is that?"
Mason turned the flash drive over his fingers. "This thing right here is a producer's wet dream… It's almost every song the two of them worked on in high school, and the first cuts of the EP she worked on before the album."
"Seriously?"
Mason nodded. "I didn't even know she still had it." He plugged it into the deck and gave her a thumbs up.
Addison sat down at the piano and began to play the melody that she had started to compose as Zed fell asleep in her arms.
"I've bandaged your bruises
You've held back my hair
Who'd have known when this started
That'd we'd end up here
But you reach out and touch me
Say my name like a prayer
Oh we know this is dangerous
But I don't fucking care…"
"Seriously, Big-bro," Mason said looking over towards Bucky. "How did it take you so long to get her back to singing? She's a fucking star without even trying."
Bucky put his finger over his lips, telling Mason to be quiet as he listened to Addison sing.
"'Cause there's somethin' about you that brings me to life
Yeah, I know all the consequences, I don't mind
This holy redemption tears us in two
And I can't turn my back to you
Wearin' your t-shirt, I'm queen of the night
One hand on the wheel, and one hand on my thigh
And I know it sounds crazy, but babe I am too
And I can't turn my back to you…"
Bucky sighed as he listened. "She really does love him… doesn't she?"
"Um, Duh… They've been head over heels for each other from the moment they met. The fact that they managed to hide it from your ass for so long is incredible. They're not exactly the subtle type."
"When the night goes quiet
And we're up in our room
And you're kissin' my fingers
And I kiss your tattoos…"
Bucky chuckled and ran a hand through his hair. "This is going to get so fucking messy."
"Only if you let it, Bro."
"What do you mean?"
"You know better than anyone how the two of them were when they were forced apart."
"Yeah…"
"The music they create together alone should make it worth figuring out a way to make it all work. Add in how fucking happy they are? Come on, B…"
Bucky sighed and looked back towards his sister.
"'Cause there's somethin' about it that brings me to life
Yeah, I know all the consequences, I don't mind
This holy redemption tears us in two
And I can't turn my back to you
Wearin' your t-shirt, I'm queen of the night
One hand on the wheel, and one hand on my thigh
And I know it sounds crazy, but babe I am too
And I can't turn my back to... you"
She closed her eyes and smiled softly as her fingers played the final chords. With the last notes still echoing, she looked up towards the glass. "How'd it sound?"
Mason leaned over and pressed the intercom button. "Beautiful, like always… He'll love it."
Bucky opened the door and walked into the booth, sitting down on the bench beside her and pulling her into a hug. "I think I have a way to keep this under wraps, but I'm going to need you to actually listen to me for once."
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Damn does it feel good to write this story again. I love these two, but it's incredibly difficult to write the soft and sweet Zeddison in some of my other stories when I'm in the groove of writing them like this (which is probably why my latest 2 stories are more similar in tone to this one). I'm not 100% sure yet, but there will probably be a teensy tiny time jump in the next chapter. We'll see. Hopefully, it doesn't take me too long to write it!
