The Perils of Rock n Roll Decadence

Despite her concern for Ethan, Mia couldn't help but laugh softly, especially as she imagined the gloating comments that Theo was going to tease Marie's boyfriend with now for the rest of the night.

"Alright, well, we'll meet you guys downstairs when you're ready. Though you'd best be quick; if we wait too long we'll never get to the front judging by how many people are downstairs." Marie reminded her as her eyes glittered excitedly before she half turned away with a wave.

Mia nodded and waved as her friend headed down the hall in a walk that seemed about to break into a run at any moment. It was still hours before the show, but everyone knew that unless you wanted to be one of the last people in, you usually had to get to the venue a good few hours early, at least if the show was as popular as this one was.

When she turned back into the room to tell Ethan what their friend had said, however, Mia saw that he was once more holding his head in his hands, though as he heard her walking over he rubbed his face and looked up at her with a smile.

"I'm fine." Ethan said again, lovingly, yet firmly; the twinkle in his eyes matching the almost-smile that quirked his lips.

Eyeing him doubtfully for a moment, Mia decided not to say anything and so instead she picked up her make-up, ensuring that Ethan noticed her concerned silence, and walked into the bathroom so she could finish getting ready, pulling the door closed behind her.

Her eye shadow she only touched up with a bit more black and a hint of purple where the white met the dark eyeliner. For her lips though Mia wiped the gentle pink away and applied a dark, rich purple that matched the colour of the quick-drying nail polish that she painted on as fast as she could. After that all she had to do was a few touches here and there before she was straightening her long black hair.

Finally, after fifteen minutes the beautiful dark-haired girlfriend was looking at her reflection in the mirror smiling to herself as she twisted a little and adjusted the bottom of her top. This outfit was perfect; a mix of something that looked good and yet was just right for a packed, and sweaty, concert hall. It was tight enough to show off her sensuous, sexy figure beautifully, just as her hair and make-up highlighted her naturally stunning features, and yet everything was simple enough, and cut low-enough, to allow her to not melt during the long, hot show ahead. Oh yes, she would be glad for the freedom that her tight jeans would give her later and the coolness that her tight, low-cut vest top would provide, that was for sure.

That last, however, brought one more unexpected thought to Mia's mind, one that stilled her hands on her flat stomach as she looked over herself; what was Theo going to make of her slightly less revealing, yet far more suggestive, outfit after how he had been all day? What else was she going to have to put up with? That thought made Mia's mind suddenly run wild as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Would Ethan's friend let his eyes trace up and down her legs within her clinging jeans, or stare desirously at her ass that was shown off to perfection in the tight material? Or would he almost peel her top down over the slopes of her soft but firm breasts with his eyes as he stared intently at the clinging way that it moulded around her ample chest, flat stomach, and slim waist?

Would he let his gaze hungrily dance along...and down between...her soft but oh-so-lusciously firm cleavage that was on display as the top's neckline swooped generously down? Or would he make more suggestive comments, like he had earlier, about being alone in the changing room with her, or when he had offered in the car -- as she sat right next to her boyfriend -- to basically have sex with her if she wasn't satisfied with Ethan tonight? What was he going to say or do now she had gotten changed into such a tight, low-cut outfit?

It wasn't that she wanted him to do any of those things, of course...but as she looked over herself, and thought about how Theo had been already, especially now he was single, the dark-haired girlfriend couldn't help but wonder what he was going to try now, her mind flashing thoughts of what Johnnie had said earlier, and that made the stunning girlfriend wonder whether she should get changed into something else instead.

It was that last concern that made Mia shake away the thought from her mind, after all it was going to be hot in the crowd and she hadn't dressed overtly sexy. Besides she shouldn't have to change for anyone. More importantly, she could handle Theo Carter -- she had earlier, and she always had; all she had to do was ignore his flirting and stay near Ethan. And not let his charm, or looks...or his smile...or any thoughts...flatter her or put her off kilter in any way. She could do that.

Despite that determined decision, however, a small voice in Mia's mind suddenly asked where her 'calm dismissal' had been earlier in the clothes store when he had convinced her to unzip her hoodie for him, and show him the almost lingerie-like top she had been wearing, or when she had thought of letting him slide his arms around her and lean against him, or in fact when she had felt flattered by his attention despite not wanting to? With a silent mutter to herself in her own mind, the dark-haired girlfriend squashed that thought and pushed her boyfriend's friend out of her mind altogether. Theo would have plenty of women to ogle tonight, not to mention Marie in her dress to focus on...and that was far more revealing that what Mia was wearing!

Almost growling irritably, Mia shoved that thought away too and grabbed her make-up bag before turning to walk out of the bathroom, this time focusing on what her sweet, hot boyfriend would think when he saw her. Oh he...and she...would so wish that they had more time before they had to leave! ...But there was always after the show...

With that thought, Mia Kennedy couldn't help but smile a touch playfully as she opened the door and walked back into her and Ethan's hotel room, feeling her stomach and head swim in excitement, both for the show and for 'the show' she would give Ethan later...

- - -

Theo Carter stood at the end of the large queen bed in his room that no doubt looked identical to every other in the hotel, with perhaps the exception of being mirrored depending on where the 'connecting door' to another room was. His, the one that led through to where Mia and Ethan were, was on the left of the bathroom with the main door to the hall on the en suite's right. Why there was no connecting door to where Marie, and Johnnie, were sleeping Theo had no idea but then he didn't claim to understand the minds of architects or designers...only women.

Still, a connecting door to Marie's room would have been more than interesting. Not that one to where Mia was sleeping wasn't, but Mia was one of those untouchable women -- the ones who he always took as a challenge to bed, and were always the hotter lays -- whereas Marie...tonight would've been very interesting if he had a connecting door to her and Johnnie's room...especially as Johnnie was a heavy sleeper...

That thought made the tall, good-looking 20-year-old smile to himself as he thought of the night ahead while pulling on his tight Aerosmith t-shirt, one that he had saved especially for the gig, before grabbing the leather wrist band for his right arm and the metal link-chain for his left...amongst several thinner wrist accessories he had, and the leather cord with an animal tooth on it that he tied around his neck.

Tonight was going to be awesome, especially as he would get to see Elly in the flesh again on stage, only this time hopefully a lot closer. The short, stunningly gorgeous singer of Dark Desire always looked hot, especially in those corset dresses that she liked to wear. Tonight she would be close enough to almost touch, unlike at Valestock, and Theo hoped that she would see him in the crowd...and maybe invite him onto the tour bus. She had a boyfriend, but if he had a chance with Elly that wouldn't stop him! Oh hell no!

That fantasy made him laugh; it was one he had had several times, though no doubt he was just going to have to accept that it was just a fantasy and instead focus on the women around him in the audience. That, of course, was definitely not a step down from Elly, at least as far as some of the women that he had seen already were concerned. Marie and Mia, for instance, were most definitely hot, especially the latter who was insanely sexier than any woman he had seen downstairs.

Damn but thinking about how his friend's girlfriend looked today still made his dick practically jump to attention. Fuck, but her legs had looked so hot in that short skirt that barely covered her ass! He had just wanted to run his hands up her smooth thighs to cup her tight ass in his hands and pull her close to him. Fuck but he bet it felt good to have those legs wrapped around your waist! And then there was her waist! Damn, but he had had to restrain himself to the point of almost groaning when he had held her from behind earlier...fuck he had had to let her go before he did actually pull her firmly against the bulge that had been raging in his jeans! And that was without considering the rest of her body...oh fuck but those memories did make his dick instantly hard!

Remembering how amazingly sexy Mia's hot, tight body looked in that clinging, low-cut top...her sensuous curves had been so perfectly hidden and yet emphasized, and her cleavage...damn but he had wanted to sink his teeth into her tits right there in the store when she unzipped her hoodie in front of him! That and take her soft, firm globes in his hands and push...press...squeeze until he came in her hands as she looked up at him...! To have held her tits while staring into those gorgeous eyes, that beyond beautiful face, and mashing his lips against hers...fuck but she was a goddess.

Those thoughts almost made Theo decide that he was going to have to relieve the sudden tension that was straining his dick almost painfully against his jeans and made his cum boil in his heavy balls. But the tall 20-year-old made himself hold back, even though it took all of his restraint. He didn't want to waste any of his energy or sticky seed right then...oh no, he wanted all of both for whoever it was that he did bring back from the concert later. Fuck, but it was just too bad that that wouldn't be Mia. As amazingly hot as she was, she was his friend's girlfriend, and more importantly, she had no interest in him or anyone other than Ethan, he knew that, he had tried everything he could think of so many times with her and nothing had worked.

Still, there were other women. Some may not be willing if their boyfriends were around...but there was always a way around that, if you were smart and patient enough. And Johnnie was a heavy sleeper...

Theo smiled in anticipation as he set thoughts of Mia Kennedy aside and considered all of the possibilities of who he would bed tonight. One woman in particular who he knew would be there came to mind quickly. Single women were gorgeous, beyond doubt...but there was just something...hot...to fucking a girl that had a boyfriend or a fiancé.

Having her legs around you while her guy was somewhere else, completely unaware...wondering what he was doing right then as she got fucked by another guy better than he had ever fucked her...having her claw your back, moan and scream as you plied her pussy full of your cock and cum and heard her groan your name, while you both knew that the guy who loved her had no idea, and wouldn't when she saw him again -- after she had had another guy's big, hard, thick, unprotected dick deep inside her, often letting him do things to her that she wouldn't do for her guy. Screaming from her heart about how much she loved the hot sex, till she not only gave you her body but her self.

That didn't help with the straining tension in his jeans that Theo felt...but fuck, did it make him even more excited for the night ahead. The catch was fun...but then, so was the hunt.

With an anticipatory smile, Theo finished getting dressed and walked towards the connecting door to see if Ethan and Mia were ready. Tonight, he suddenly felt, was going to be legendary.

- - -

Mia walked out of the en-suite with a teasing smile painting her soft, dark purple lipstick-covered lips, ready to see the floored reaction that she knew Ethan was going to have when he saw her...however her smile didn't last long. As she shut the door behind her and turned to her boyfriend, Mia suddenly felt the excited feeling inside her evaporate into worry as she saw Ethan lying on the side of the large bed nearest to her with his head propped up against the headboard; and he looked as white as the bed sheet.

"Ethan...?" Mia asked concernedly as she hurried over to him and pressed a hand against his forehead. She almost jumped at how hot his face was before she quickly darted back into the bathroom to wet a towel and ran back to wipe his forehead. "Ethan?"

"Mmm?" Her boyfriend murmured as he stirred to her voice and the cool towel before his eyes fluttered open and he tried to smile up at her weakly. "Hey...I'm sorry, I'll be ok in a minute. Just give me a sec." He said finally before trying to sit up weakly and coughing gently as he moved.

"Just lie still." Mia said softly, surprised at how easy it was to push him back down and how quickly he stayed there. For a long moment all she could do was look at him and wipe his face, worry for him drowning out everything else.

"It's just a bug, I'll be fine. I just need a couple of pills and I'll be ok." Ethan protested softly after a moment, seeming a little more lucid as the towel cooled his fever a little.

Mia only gave him a concerned-appreciatory smile as she shook her head gently, knowing that if the pills he had taken so far hadn't done anything to stop this then he certainly wasn't going to feel any better if he took more now. And as for being 'fine', he was certainly not...he could barely keep his eyes open!

As she looked down at him, and kept a hand on his shoulder to make sure that he didn't try to stand up, the dark-haired girlfriend's mind raced. How had this come on so quickly? Was it the flu or just a twenty-four hour bug? How sick was he going to get, and what could she do? Mia wished she knew, but the one thing that was clear to her -- though she was a little ashamed that she thought of it at all right then -- was that there was no way that Ethan was going to be well enough to go anywhere tonight.

Mia squashed the tiny ball of disappointment that started up inside her at knowing that she was going to miss her favourite band again, and felt even guiltier at feeling that. Ethan needed her; that was all that mattered. She could see the band the next time they toured.

"Baby, you're in no state to go anywhere." She replied gently, trying her best to keep any regret from her voice as she smiled down at him. "I'm going to look after you, you just rest and sleep for a bit."

"No, no!" Her sweet, loving boyfriend protested with a little more force, and a clear unhappy tinge to his dry-sounding, cracking voice that showed in his face as he seemed to realize just how weak he was. "You have to go. You can't miss it tonight, not again. Not because of me, again. Please!"

Mia smiled reassuringly and felt a warmth of love pass through her at her boyfriend's words -- which only made her feel even more guilty for being slightly disappointed -- but she still shook her head as she continued to run the wet towel around his reddening face.

"Ethan, you're really not well. I'm not going to leave you like this am I? Not to go see a band I can see any time especially." She replied, trying to sound as convincing as she could and feeling a little worse for having to try at all. She must be a terrible girlfriend!

"But you missed them because of me at Valestock!" He objected unhappily as he gazed up at her sadly. "I don't want you to miss them again because of me. Please Mia, I want you to go. Besides, there's nothing you can do if you're here, I'd just fall asleep anyway."

Despite his words making sense, at least to some extent -- she could still watch over him, after all -- Mia still shook her head.

"Ethan I'm not going without you, especially not with you like this." She said with an air of finality, which only made her boyfriend look even more unhappy. She didn't like seeing that, but she wouldn't leave him on his own...especially after what she had felt. "Now, get some rest, I'll soak the towel again." She added in a no-nonsense tone before she straightened, ready to head to the bathroom.

Mia had barely moved from Ethan's side however when suddenly an almost hesitant knock came from the connecting door, and after Mia flipped the lock and called back in response Theo popped his head around the door.

At first his eyes went wide and that cheeky, charming smile spread on his gorgeous, defined face, however before he could say anything he saw Ethan and his playfulness vanished as he entered the room.

"Damn Eth, you don't look too good" He said as he came to stand beside Mia. "Is this that bug that's been going around SU?"

Mia had been paying more attention to her boyfriend than his friend, however at that she looked up at him.

"Bug?" She asked sounding at least a little relieved that at least someone might have an idea of what was wrong. "What bug?"

"What? Oh, quite a few people I know have had it." Theo replied as he looked back to Ethan thoughtfully "It's nothing to worry about, if it is. Only lasts a couple of days, three at most, and the worst that he'll get is fever, chills, a cough, weakness and a bit of sickness."

Mia's eyes widened at that. The 'worst' he would get? That sounded pretty bad to her. But then, she supposed that it could have been worse.

"He just needs rest and water. He'll be ok." Her boyfriend's friend continued as he shared a look between the two of them. The certainty in his voice, and knowing what it was, helped Mia relax a little. Which was just as well, as Theo focused on Ethan as part of his normal self returned. "So no keeping me awake tonight, right?"

For the first time since Mia had come out of the bathroom both she and Ethan laughed softly, before she gently slapped Theo's arm for the joke.

"No promises." Ethan replied tiredly, yet with a smile.

Theo chuckled to himself before he looked between them as he leaned against the open door to his room.

"So I guess you two aren't going tonight?" He asked in a consoling tone, and Mia gave him a small smile as if to say 'no'.

Before she could speak up though, Ethan beat her to it.

"Mia is!" Ethan replied resolutely, before giving her a firm, yet pleading, look that made Mia just stand there in stubborn silence.

Theo had the sense to remain quiet, at least until Ethan began to reel off all of the same reasons that she should go to him that he had given to her, with the addition that Dark Desire were her favourite band, and she had missed them because of him before, so not only was it pointless for her to stay, it was also not a good thing for either of them, and it would make him feel happier if she did.

"I have to be honest Mia, I kinda agree with Ethan on this one." Theo chimed in a little reluctantly as Ethan finished and they both looked over at her to gauge her reaction.

"And what about you?" Mia asked perhaps a little too heatedly; mostly because of the guilt that she felt at how quickly part of her wanted to agree.

"I'll be fine. I'll sleep and you'll be back by the time I wake up." He answered comfortingly with a warm look in his eyes that said that she knew he was right.
