The Commission Files- File #a1736 Secret Rendezvous
Characters: Rutger, Lilina
Based on: a commission by shadrysea on Twitter/X
A beat up looking car slowly pulled into the parking lot of the side of the road motel out in the middle of the Nabata desert. The engine was cut off as it was parked and out of it came two figures dressed in ballcaps and sunglasses, even though it was almost midnight. The pair looked out around their surroundings to make sure they hadn't been followed.
"Do you see anything?" The blue haired woman asked as she turned her view to the sky to see if any aircraft were flying above them.
"No, I don't think we were followed, thankfully." The man who looked like he was from Bern but was actually born in Sacae replied. Who were this mysterious couple and why were they being so secretive you may ask? Well they were none other than Lilina Ostia and Rutger Hausen, the bassist and drummer of Elibe's hottest new rock/alternative pop band the Dragonslayers and the reason they were being so careful was simple. They were in a relationship together, but only members of the band and crew knew about it. And if anyone in the media caught wind that they were together, well you can imagine the issues it would cause them. Especially since all the tabloids and fan blogs had been predicting that it was actually Lilina and the Dragonslayers lead guitarist and vocalist Roy Pherae who were dating each other.
"Good." Lilina noted simply. "As much as I love interacting with our fans, getting away from them from time to time is a relief."
"Couldn't agree more." Rutger commented as they walked their way up to the main desk. Now everyone in the band knew the two had snuck off away from the posh Arcadian hotel everyone else was staying in so there was no worry on that front, but of course the fans who had also booked rooms at the same hotel were none the wiser thanks to Lilina's assistant Astore who had helped her father out of similar situations in the past. Once they got to the desk the pair saw the receptionist sleeping in his chair, so Rutger rang the bell to wake him up.
"Gah! What! Take the money!" The receptionist exclaimed as he woke up with a shock.
"Trust us, we're not here for that." Lilina assured him, trying not to laugh at the scene.
"How much for a room for the night?" Rutger asked, getting straight to the point.
"A hundred dollars, especially for being this late at night." The receptionist answered, getting a hold of himself. "What's got people like you out here so late anyways?"
"We got stuck in traffic and needed to stop for the night, that's all." Lilina replied, not wanting to make up too much of an elaborate lie.
"Traffic. Out in the desert?" The receptionist asked rhetorically before getting a better look at the pair and the realization of who they were dawning on him.
"We had to pass through Arcadia and there was some big hub-bub about a concert or some such." Rutger added, which was actually the truth, but maybe a bit too descriptive because it didn't dissuade the look on the receptionist's face like he knew who they were.
"Well of course there was, the Dragonslayers have had the most popular song on the charts for the last three months." The receptionist said as he pulled out a key for one of the rooms. "The last room we have, number 6."
"Thank you, we appreciate it." Lilina said genuinely before Rutger put two hundred dollar bills on the counter.
"Just forget we were here in the morning yeah?" Rutger semi-glared at the receptionist before taking the key from him.
"I mean of course, you didn't even tell me your names." The receptionist replied getting the point. After that Rutger and Lilina left the desk and headed over to their room for the night.
"You don't think that was too mean of me was it?" Rutger wondered as he started to unlock the door.
"Compared to the way you threatened people when we first started the band, you were an angel back there." Lilina playfully teased him.
"Well, you know, gotta be professional and all that shit." Rutger joked back before they stepped into the room and locked the door behind them.
"Hmm, perhaps, but I'm still glad you've got a bit of a wild streak in you." Lilina smirked at Rutger.
"Hey, it matches with yours." Rutger smirked back. It was nice just being alone together so they could talk so freely like this. When they were up on stage or out in public they could be friendly yes, but when it was just them in a private setting like this they could say and do whatever they wanted with each other. Now you would probably expect this to mean that they instantly started to shed their clothes and get intimate with each other, but only half of that expectation would be correct. For they did shed their disguises for more casual clothing before deciding to just lay and cuddle with each other as they flipped the TV on and started trying to find something to watch.
"Stop there, look, we're kind of in the news again!" Lilina said as they passed a news station. On it there was a helicopter's eye view of the hotel they were supposed to be staying in with it's spotlight pointing straight into the room Roy was sharing with the band's back up vocalist Wolt.
"They really have nothing better to do than disturb their sleep huh?" Rutger commented, knowing very well they'd be doing the same to his room if he was there. "The perils of being famous huh? I honestly never thought we'd get this big. Did you?"
"No, I just thought this would be a fun side gig while I worked on my magic studies, I never imagined we'd be this popular and not this fast either." Lilina replied. "But it's not all bad though, I got to meet you and get to know you better, so I don't think I would trade it for anything just yet."
"Yeah, I agree, but we're going to need a break from this sooner or later don't you think?" Rutger pondered. "Yeah Roy, Wolt, and the crew are pretty resilient people, but they can only take so much."
"I agree, with how fast we've become famous it feels like a blur." Lilina commented. "Maybe after this weekend we can get with our manager and discuss taking a short break from touring. I mean everyone is clamoring for us to come out with a record anyways, we could jump out to the Western Isles and relax there while we do it. They have some pretty decent recording studios out there."
"I could be up for that, I haven't been to the Isles since I was a teenager with my parents." Rutger noted. "But we just have to make sure we have some sort of private beach or something, because you know there will be fans wanting pictures and autographs if we hit a public one."
"We could go to a nudist beach, I doubt many people would follow us there." Lilina teased slightly, though she would actually be interested in something like that, if Rutger and Roy joined her of course.
"Yeah, and give them that kind of photo op?" Rutger scoffed at the thought. "Besides, I want to be the one who gets to see you intimately like that for the most part. Call me jealous, but I'm not willing to share that with anyone other than Roy at the moment."
"Fair enough, but just keep it in the back of your mind okay?" Lilina asked before planting a kiss on Rutger's cheek and yawning. "Elimine, I'm more tired than I thought. Maybe we should just go to sleep and save our energy for the morning."
"If that's what you feel like doing that's fine with me." Rutger noted as he placed a kiss on her forehead back. "Besides, we should have time after we wake up for a little fun before we have to head back to the hotel."
"Mmm, sounds good to me." Lilina yawned again before snuggling up to Rutger a bit more closely. "Be my pillow for the night?"
"Of course, get as comfortable as you like." Rutger answered warmly before Lilina rested her head on his chest and slowly fell asleep. He too drifted into sleep and while his sleep was restful he had a somewhat recurring dream where instead of a famous drummer he was a famous middle ages swordmaster and Lilina was a noble who he fell in love with. Sometimes he wondered what that life would be like, would it be simpler without all the technology and information sharing of the present, or would it be harder without all the advancements in medical and sanitary technology and the fact that he'd be in control of other people's lives. He never could make the decision. Either way he woke up at about five in the morning, the sun still not coming out over the horizon, but it was getting close. He slid out of bed making sure not to wake Lilina up and went outside with a bag of pretzel sticks in his hand.
"When my father always told me to have snacks on hand, I don't think he ever meant for this context." Rutger commented to himself as he put a stick in his mouth as if it was a cigarette. He had been clean of smoking for about three months now, but every now and then he still needed something to put in his mouth to simulate the feeling and get the chemicals in his brain flowing. The reason he had stopped was pretty simple in his head, who wanted to kiss a guy with smokey breath and tobacco smell on his lips? Before getting with Lilina he never really figured he would be the type of guy to try and have a stable relationship, but now he was and he was trying his best to get better from all his bad hobbies and vices he had picked up in the past. "I just wish you and Mom could see where I am now. I think you'd be proud of me, I hope you would be at least." He was so distracted by his thoughts that he didn't think to look out into the hilly desert to see if there were any photographers around trying to snap pictures of him. And he probably should have been looking because their definitely were. Either way he finished up his snack and when he walked back inside the motel room he was greeted by Lilina completely naked on the bed on her hands and knees.
"I was wondering when you'd get back." She teased him, playfully swaying her hips back and forth sensually. "I'm all slicked up and ready to go if you are big boy, so why don't you climb in behind me and show me just how steady a drum beat you can make?"
"Like you have to ask me twice." Rutger smirked before quickly discarding his clothes and climbing into the bed behind Lilina. He grabbed her hips firmly and when he was nice and hard slowly began to poke at her entrance. "Mmmm, you ready for me?" He asked in a low and sexy voice, right up close to her ear.
"Been ready." Lilina confirmed. "Give it to me drummer boy." And that's all Rutger needed to hear before he slowly pushed himself inside her body. A lot of people would assume he was all about being rough and fast with his loving, but the opposite was true. He loved going nice and slow and building up to a moment than just letting all out right at the start. Not to say he couldn't, because sometimes Lilina liked it and sometimes they didn't have the time since they had to be secretive a lot, but it just wasn't his style.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time." Rutger breathed as he started thrusting into Lilina at a steady pace. "It feels like forever since we've gotten to do this, so I'm gonna make sure I get to every little spot of yours that you love to feel me in."
"Elimine, yes, give me all that and more." Lilina moaned back as she felt her body heat rising just from the sensual way he was talking to her. "Make love to me like it's the last time we'll be able to do it for a while!" Rutger wasn't going to waste an opportunity like that so he started moving his right hand up Lilina's side until it was holding onto her right below her chest. Then he put his other hand on the bed behind Lilina's to help brace himself. Finally he put his chin on Lilina's left shoulder so they could be even closer.
"You think you can handle me putting a little more weight behind my thrusts?" He asked Lilina in a soft but still rough sounding voice, maybe the one good thing that came from smoking for so long.
"I can handle anything you throw my way." Lilina replied confidently. "Look at you coming up with something new for once."
"Well, I try." Rutger replied before using his arm to lift Lilina's body up slightly and then putting the full weight of his body onto her back, allowing him to thrust even more deeply and powerfully than before. Lilina moaned out even louder than before, but if the two of them knew what was going on and who was watching them, this moment would be quickly ruined.
"Are you getting this?" A cameraman asked his partner from the other side of the blinds leading into the room the lovers were in. Morning light was beginning to filter in so their lighting was getting better by the moment.
"Yeah man, this is going to be a gold mine if we play our cards right." The partner replied enthusiastically. "Who would have thought we'd get something so spicy coming out to the middle of nowhere like this?"
"You've got connections to sell this footage and not get it traced back to us right? Because this is kind of illegal." The cameraman asked.
"Yeah, totally, I've got buyers in Bern who would love to have something like this and will keep it under wraps that we gave it to them." The partner replied. "Now keep filming, I think it's getting towards the end." And he was right. Rutger and Lilina had held that position for quite a while with Rutger continuously speeding up his thrusting and also moving his hands up to Lilina's breasts so she could get just that much more pleasure out of the experience. But the two of them were starting to reach their limits and they knew it.
"Rutger! I'm going to cum soon!" Lilina moaned out.
"Me too!" Rutger replied with a strained voice. "Inside is still okay right?"
"Y-Yes, I'm still on my medication!" Lilina assured him. Once he heard that he made his last move, sweeping Lilina's arms off the bed so her chest was pressed as firmly as it could be into the bed before practically starting to smash his hips against her backside. Instantly Lilina orgasmed and clamped down on his dick, causing him to start spurting his seed inside of her with a long and pleasured moan. Lilina loved it when he was dramatic like this, it just told her that he wanted to make her feel special because he didn't really do anything dramatic or exciting for any one else other than Roy maybe. Either way with a last few thrusts Rutger rolled off of Lilina and into a position so the both of them had their heads next to each other and their arms hanging off the bed.
"That wasn't too much for you was it?" Rutger asked as he tried to catch his breath.
"No, that was perfect, I loved it." Lilina breathed before moving her head slightly so she could kiss him on the cheek. "And I love you." Lilina, as expected, was more open about her emotions so she was already at a point where she could say things like that comfortably. And she knew Rutger had trouble expressing himself so it was okay that he hadn't said it yet, but that just made the next moment even better.
"I love you too." Rutger replied before he could realize what he said, but it was too late to take it back now. But it was the truth, he just needed some time to realize it for himself.
"Hmm, I think I like the sound of that." Lilina slightly teased him before raising her hands up and putting them on his face so she could kiss him more deeply. "But in all seriousness, I know that it's taken a lot for you to say something like that, so it really does make me feel happy to hear you say it."
"Well, you know..." Rutger stumbled, blushing a bit and losing his tough guy look for just a bit. "It's the truth. If I didn't love you I wouldn't be out here sneaking around behind everyone's backs just to cuddle and watch TV with you. You've changed my life for the better Lilina and I don't want to go back to being alone, not again."
"You know you won't have to worry about that, not with me." Lilina assured him. "Just don't let it slip in public just yet."
"I know. We should come up with a code phrase for it then, just so we can say it when we want to." Rutger suggested.
"Let's brainstorm it with Roy and Wolt later, right now we probably should be getting out of here." Lilina noted.
"That's a good point." Rutger agreed. "Besides, the hotel probably has a better shower than this place." So the two of them got dressed and put everything they brought back into their small duffel bag. Then they put on their hats and sunglasses to make sure they wouldn't be seen, but it was kind of a moot point. As soon as they opened the door to their room they were attacked with dozens of camera flashes and small microphones held by media outlets and amateur bloggers.
"Rutger, I think we've been found out." Lilina commented with a bit of fear in her voice.
"Get on my back." Rutger said calmly before helping her up and then plowing through the crowd to their car. He threw a number of punches and Lilina even helped out with a magic fireball or two, and eventually they got into the car and started to drive away. The couple was silent for a while as they started to drive back towards the hotel the rest of the band was staying in until Lilina spoke up.
"You're driving to the hotel right?" She asked Rutger.
"Against my better judgement, yes." Rutger confirmed. "We can't leave Roy and Wolt and everyone else out to dry. It'll be alright, I don't know how or why, but it will be. We've got each other and the band, and that's all we need."
"Let's hope you're right."
