Chapter Twenty:

Bonus Chapter!

A few months later...

Salem worked the lights from the catwalk above the stage, watching Vince and Howard perform. She smiled as they finished another song and Vince looked up, winking at her.

She smiled and blew a kiss to him before switching the lights for the next song.

The show was over and the trio had just walked through the doors of Nabootique.

"Well, I'm exhausted. I'm going to retire for the night. Good night you two." Howard said, heading off into his room, hearing the good nights from his friends. The couple sat down in the common room. Salem snuggling into Vinces' side as they watched the t.v. A commercial coming on with bright colors and showcases coming on.

"You know, I just had a brilliant idea." Vince said. She looked up at him.

"Oh? And what would that be?" She asked.

"An Electro Circus! I could introduce a variety of acts, and you could run the equipment! We could travel around the world, showcasing some of the newest trending acts in the world! We could make a fortune! And you would be right by my side, the whole time..." Vince said, excitement making his blue eyes twinkle. Salem smiled up at him, kissing his cheek.

"If you really want to try it, I'll help in any way I can." She agreed. Vince smiled brightly down at her.

"I can always count on you, can't I?" he asked.

"Always, Vince." She answered with an even brighter smile. He leaned in and brushed his lips against hers.

"That's one of the reasons I love you." He said, breaking the kiss. Salem blushed, but smiled.

"...You're so beautiful. How'd I get so lucky to find you?" Vince muttered softly. She felt her heart flutter at his words.

"Well, you and Howard do have some of the best luck I've ever seen." She said teasingly. Vince thought his cheeks would burst from smiling so widely. He leaned his head against hers, both chuckling softly.

"I guess you're right." Vince said, leaning in and kissing her. Her response was immediate, wrapping her arms around his neck and holding him close, while his wrapped around her waist. He had never felt as treasured by someone until he had been in her arms as a lover.

His tongue tapped at her lips, trying to deepen the kiss. She held her lips closed to tease him. He let his arms fall down lower, giving her bottom a squeeze. She gasped and he took his chance, letting his tongue feel around her mouth.

A low moan reached his ears, making his pants feel tighter in response. She played with the ends of his hair, while their tongues danced. His grip on her backside became firmer, and more desperate.

"Salem, If we don't stop now... I don't think I'll be able to at all..." Vince panted, breaking the kiss. She looked up at him, her cheeks red, lips swollen, soft and inviting. She was out of breath, but still clung to him.

"Then don't." She said softly. Vince felt his member spring to life at those two words. He pulled her legs around his waist and stood, lifting her with him. Their lips crashed together in a heated frenzy, as he walked into her room.

Vince moved beside her, pulling her head onto his shoulder, his arm around her securely, their naked bodies sharing heat.

"That was amazing, love." She said smiling up at him. Vince smiled down at her before leaning in and capturing her lips one more time.

"You're amazing..." He said, breaking apart from her. They stayed in the quiet of the room, letting sleep take them over.

Vince and Salem started to explore the new talents around the city, trying to find showcases for the Electro Circus idea.

"Ooo, Sammy the crab." Vince pointed out. Salem smiled, remembering some of the acts she had seen on the Internet starring the crab.

"He's good. You think we could get him to join in?" She asked. Vince smiled at her.

"Just leave it to me." He said, doing what he does best.
