Penny's POV
We were laying on the grass looking up at the stars, it had to be at least 3:30 AM. I really didn't know what to say or how to say goodbye, I didn't want this night to end. I knew I would probably never see him again and he would forget me by the time he got on the tour bus.
It was suddenly silent and after what seemed like forever he said "Can I kiss you?" I was surprised by his question, but without thought I said yes.
The kiss was so shy and sweet. He looked at me with a nervous smile, like he was afraid of what I thought. I said, "You call that a kiss?" I'm not sure what came over me, but I reached up and pulled his face to mine and said "This is a kiss!"

Brian's POV
After I found the courage to kiss Penny, I didn't know if she wanted more. She made it clear that she did and I was good with that. There we were, outside on the grass making out like a couple of teenagers. I was also turned on like a teenage boy with a huge erection. I wanted her, I needed her even if it was just one night. But here on the grass was not what I wanted and not what she deserved. "Would you like to come up to my suite?" I could tell my invitation met mixed emotions.
"Brian, I would love to, believe me you don't know how much. But this will probably be our only time together. I don't want to ruin the memory with a one-night stand."
I took her face in my hands and looked in her eyes, kissed her and told her "This is not a one night stand I want to make love to you. Make love to this incredible woman I met, who in one night made me feel good again." I needed her to believe me. "I don't know if we will ever see each other again, but I don't want to let tonight go"
"I don't either" she said. We kissed and got up and walked back to the hotel.

Penny's POV
So there I am, heading to a room to be with a famous man that I just met. I needed him, right then and to hell with everything else. At least we did have the sense to go up to his room separately. He texted me once he was in his suite and I came up. As I went up the elevator, I was nervous as hell. I was so worried, he would take one look at me and be repulsed. Will he suddenly think about our age difference? He looked a little shocked when he found out I was 10 years older than him. A million worries went through my mind.
I went to the door and knocked timidly. He opened the door, grabbed my hand and pulled me in. Closing the door and immediately grabbing me and kissing me hard and I replied in kind. His tongue searched my mouth and I reciprocated. I could feel his arousal pressing against me and I could feel my own as well, my whole body tingled just at his touch. He pulled my shirt off and I did the same to him, damn he was so hot. There was now forces taking over me, that I had never dealt with before. We made it to the bedroom and I pushed him down on the bed. I looked down at this magnificent man, he was breath taking. I just froze. Suddenly, I was terrified, the thought of Jay leaving me and the fact that Brian was even younger caused me to stagger back into a chair next to the bed. I can't open myself up to this hurt again, even just for one night.

Brian's POV
She looked at me with such desire, different from the other girls and even Michelle. She wanted me, not my money, not my fame and with no expectations. It was just us and it was right now, the past and the future did not matter. As soon as I opened the door I pulled her into the room and kissed her I was so turned on and I knew she was too. Soon our shirts were off and she was pushing me down on the bed. It was clear that we both were hungry and ready. Then suddenly she just stood up, looked at me and sat down on a chair next to the bed. She had a scared look on her face. What did I do? What do I do now?
I knelt down in front of her, she had her head down and her hands over her face. I said "Penny, are you ok? Did I do something wrong?" She shook her head no "Please talk to me." I gently moved her hands away from her face, but she was still looking down.
"I can't do this Brian, even for one night. It's not fair to either one of us and I can't do this again."
I saw a tear fall from her cheek, I lifted her chin up and looked in her eyes. "This isn't an again, this is us. Something has happened, we were brought together for a reason. We don't have to sleep together. We can just enjoy being here, right now, just us. We have a connection, we can't just walk away."
She looked at me and smiled, but I could still tell she was still unsure. I then noticed the tattoo on her right collarbone. It had a bass clef and a treble clef in the shape of a heart with 3 notes around it and it said "So Far Away".

Penny's POV
Brian was so sweet, so gentle. I just met this man and he knows just what to say to make me feel better. But I don't know what to do, I don't want to be hurt again. I don't know if I can take it. I just didn't know what to say, how to help him understand. He spoke of a connection between us, that I couldn't deny.
Then he saw my tattoo, he said "I didn't see you as a tattoo person. You are lady of mystery!" And flashed one of his devilishly gorgeous smiles. I had to smile. Then his voice lowered and his face was very serious "Is that my So Far Away?" I was even more unsure of what to say, will he look at the tattoo as a crazy stalker groupie thing or understand how the song touched me and that the tattoo was in remembrance of those I had lost?
"Brian, yes it is a reference to the song you wrote. That song is a beautiful tribute to your best friend that you loved and lost. It was from your heart, and it touched mine. When I wanted to get a tattoo to remember my brother, father and grandmother there was only one way I could imagine to say it was with reference to that song. It was truly what I wanted to express to them. I am sorry, I truly meant it as..."
Brian touched my lips and shushed me. "You don't have anything to be sorry about, I am not upset. I am honored that the song touched your heart and was able to help you say to your family what I wanted to say to Jimmy. I think Jimmy would like that too." He kissed me, so gently at first and then our kiss turned back to the same passion I had halted earlier. He was on his knees on the floor in front of me. I ran my fingers through his hair and down his back. He started kissing down my neck then delicately kissed my tattoo and looked at me, his eyes asked and mine said yes. We kissed again and stood up, not breaking the embrace. He unhooked my bra and slid it off my shoulders, kissing down my neck, making his way to my breasts all while unfastening my jeans and pulling them down. He put his hand between my legs and said, "These panties need to come off!" Electricity shot through my body as he finished undressing me. He stood up and starting kissing me. I stopped him saying "Wait! Something is not right here!"

Brian's POV
Just kissing, caressing and undressing Penny made me desire her more, I could think of nothing else. It was so erotic and I felt so much for this woman I had just met. I had her all to myself right there it was perfect and then she stops and says "Wait! Something is not right here!" Just as I was about to panic she looked at me with a sexy seductive grin and a little animal in her eyes "Clothing is not optional, it is prohibited" Her lips crushed against mine as she nimbly unzipped my pants. Her Hands ran down my chest as she kneeled in front of me, pulling my boxers down. Her mouth had me at the brink of release. "Not yet!" I pushed her down on the bed and joined our lips and tongues, she gave me full access to enter her.
I lifted my lips from hers and looked into her blue eyes full of care and passion. I entered her slowly, making sure that my size did not hurt her. I saw a slight wince on her face. Then I saw hunger and in her eyes. "Brian, I want you, all of you...now!!" I leaned over her and kissed her as I started to thrust with all I could. Soon, I felt her body stiffen as her walls tightened around me. I knew she was close. "Yes! Oh my God!". I could not hold back any longer, "Damn Baby!" I said as I released inside her. I collapsed on the bed beside her. "That was amazing!" I said out of breath. She said "It was beyond anything I've ever experienced."
We held each other for a while. "This night has exceeded all my expectations! First the incredible concert and being with you. It's the happiest I have been in a long time." She said and then seemed to want to get away. She stood up and headed toward the bathroom. "You better rest up, because the sun is almost out and I want more before we both have to leave."
I shook my head, "Penelope, you are an amazing woman."
She had a new confidence I hadn't seen before and I liked it. She turned around immediately "My name is not Penelope, it's just Penny." She warned me with her hands on her beautiful naked hips. "Calling me that, is fighting words Mr. Haner!!"
"I think I can take you, Penelope" I yelled to her while she was in the bathroom. I knew what was coming...

Penny's POV
I really don't like being called Penelope, it wasn't my name. But when he did it, I really couldn't be mad. But, I wasn't about to miss the opportunity to razz him for it. I came out of the bathroom and pounced on him in the bed. Straddling his hips, "What's my name Junior?"
"Penelope!" He practically yelled. I smacked his chest playfully and said "Let's try this another way and see if you can get the answer right. Who am I?"
He looked very serious and right into my eyes and said "You're Mine"
I was a jolted by how he went from play to so serious, of course I had to tell him about how happy I was. I regretted that because even though it was the truth, it was too serious. I knew that soon I had to check out of the hotel and his band mates would probably be knocking at his door. He was making this goodbye even harder than it was already was going to be.
"I'm yours until check out time, Haner!" Trying to laugh it off.
"I don't check out until tomorrow, our next show isn't until tomorrow night in Wisconsin. Stay with me, here." He said
I really didn't know what to say my heart was saying "Yes!", but my mind was skeptical. "I-I don't know if that would work. What about the rest of the band?"
"They will get to meet you, I can't wait to introduce you." He said with those gorgeous brown eyes sparkling.
"I'm not so sure that's a good idea, I am pretty sure they'll notice that I am a bit older than you". I said "What about your fans, you saw what happened last night with those girls. Imagine that in the day when it's crowded"
He frowned and the sparkle turned to sad.

Brian's POV
I want to spend as much time as I can with Penny and I don't want to say goodbye in a few hours. I want her to meet my best friends. Why is she hooked up so much on the age thing? I doesn't bother me, I didn't plan on meeting someone at all right now and I wasn't looking for something serious with anyone. I met her and I feel something for her, age is irrelevant to me. Damn, those fucking sluts who insulted her!
"Penny, I don't care about what those crazy bitches said or what anyone else says. My friends will love you because I do, they will see what I see, a great woman, my cougar!" she blushed and I begged, "Please stay with me tonight."
"Brian, I am not ready for that. Your fame makes even going out in public a very big step, I just don't think we should bring that down on either one of us right now. Trust me, nothing would make me happier than to walk hand and hand with you and let the world see. I just don't want us to do something we regret later." She leaned down and kissed me gently and added "This time has been too special for that."
I could tell she wasn't going to change her mind on this. "What if we stay here in my room, I'll tell the guys I'm not feeling well and I am going to stay in and rest." I suggested "I'll tell them I think I might be contagious and they will stay away. With two more shows this weekend they are going to let me be alone and stay away so they won't get sick. We'll get room service and just be together, just us"
She considered my suggestion and said "That sounds wonderful. As long as you think it will work"
"It will work, I'll make sure of that!" I said, relieved that she was going to stay.

Penny's POV
He really wanted me to stay and I really wanted to, I loved his idea and it gave us a whole day together and another night.
I leaned down on top of him and we kissed hungrily, we were both still naked and I could tell that he was ready for more. I lifted my hips over his pelvis and guided him inside me. He grabbed my hips and started to move me, I took over and we held hands as he started thrusting to meet my movements.
He looked at me "I love being inside you." I told him I loved it too without even thinking about it and that was the final piece that catapulted me into a shuddering orgasm, I felt him doing the same as we both shared ourselves. After I collapsed beside him, he took me in his arms and we both finally slept.
