Avery’s POV

I giggled as Brain tossed me off of him and onto the bed, my back hitting the plush mattress with a light bounce. I felt like I was flying after that last mind-blowing orgasm and I couldn’t see or think straight. He really knew how to make me feel amazing and alive. Hell, I wasn’t even tired and the sun was starting bleed in though the windows. What time was it anyway?

Brian and I had been busy ever since our reunion last night. He had touched and pleased me in so many ways that I didn’t even know how to react. Brian was just simply amazing, and what made it even better is that we finally talked everything else. I couldn’t believe how much the press had misconstrued and twisted around to sell a story. I mean, how could I have believe any of the stuff they were putting out there? It was ridiculous! I knew Brian and I just should have trusted him. I wouldn’t let any doubts come between us again.

“You, my love,” Brain said, pointing his finger at me as crawled over top of me. I could see a sparkle in his dark eyes and I couldn’t help but smile. “Are something else.”

“Why’s that?” I giggled before pecking his lips a few times. God I missed being in his strong arms. He was the only one for me and I dreaded the moment when we had to part again. I knew I had to go back to the shop in Huntington Beach, but I didn’t want to. I wanted to stay with Brian where everything felt safe and there were no prying eyes.

“Because you, my dear, are my naughty little girl,” he chuckled, placing a line of kisses on my jawline. “And I can’t get enough of you…” His warm breath tickled my ear and I bit down on my bottom lip. I could feel the heat my arousal starting all over again in my belly. How could he make me feel this way so easily? God I loved him.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I slowly pulled away with a teasing smile as I sat up. “What time is it anyway? I see the sun is up.”

Brian simply smiled and shook his head at me, slowly coming towards me. “Doesn’t matter because they’re not looking for me yet. We’ve still got time. Besides, I want to…” he slowly started kissing down my neck and to my chest, each little kiss making my skin hot and flushed. It was like each every nerve ending in my body was exploding all over again and I couldn’t take it any anymore.

“Mmm… More…” Suddenly I felt hands in my hair, pulling me toward Brian’s lips without a word. He kissed me hard and urgently as he wrapped one strong arm around me and pressed his weight into me. I got lost in the kiss, letting our tongues dance with hungry passion. I moaned against his lips, feeling the spark between us ignite even more.

“Gates get your ass out of bed!” Zack’s voice called as he rapped loudly on the door. “It almost eleven and we have to be at the venue in an hour!”

“Fuck, I’ll be out in a few minutes,” Brian yelled, pulling his lips away from mine with an apologetic smile. “God damn it!”

“You’ve got fifteen minutes,” Zack called and Brian pulled away from me and headed towards the bathroom, cursing all the way.

I sighed and climbed out of bed, my legs shaking from our mostly sleepless night of fun. I knew the guys had an early show today, but hopefully Brian and I could spend the rest of the night with our friends before Maya and I had to head back Huntington Beach. I shook my head and pushed the thought away, not wanting to ruin our time together with the worry of leaving.

As Brian took a shower, I pulled my long hair up into an elegant bun on top of my head with a braid wrapped around it. I also left out my bangs and swept them to the side, giving me a polished looked. I accompanied it with a pair of short denim shorts, a belt, and a teal lace crop top. It showed off my flat and toned stomach. I also added some natural make up with red lipstick and a pair of cute wedge sandals.

“Bri,” I said, knocking on the bathroom door before pushing it open slightly. “I’m going to go downstairs and meet up with Maya. I’ll see you down there.”

“Okay, babe. Just watch out for the guys,” he chuckled, popping his head out of the shower, his eyes scanning over my body. His eyes were devouring me like he hadn’t touched me in months, even though we had spent the whole night together. I blushed as he licked his lips. Would he always look at me like this? “They are going to go nuts when they realize you girls are here.”

“I think I can handle it,” I smiled, watching the water droplets run down his chiseled chest. God, he was handsome and it was hard to keep my eyes off of him. “I’ll see you down there, babe.” I gave him a kiss, grabbed my bag, and quickly headed down to breakfast.

As soon as I reached the lobby, I was instantly picked up off my feet and spun around in a circle. “Avery Jacobson! I can’t believe my eyes! What are you doing here?” Zacky laughed, setting me back down and looking me over. “If I would have known you were here, I would have busted down Haner’s door! When did you get here?”

“It’s go good to see you too, Zacky,” I smiled, hugging him before stepping away and hugging Johnny who was waiting for a hug with open arms. “Maya and I flew in last night.”

“Did you girls miss us too much?” Johnny teased, looking at me over the top of his aviators. “Or did you realize I was the real man for you?”

“Yeah, that’s exactly why she came, short shit,” Zack laughed, smacking him in the back of the head. “What the hell is wrong with you?”

“What? It was a joke!” he said just as Jimmy and Maya came out of the breakfast area, laughing and hanging onto each other. I hadn’t seen the too of them look that happy in weeks. “Can’t a guy make a joke?” He asked before Jimmy tackled him to the ground.

“Ave!” Maya called, pulling my attention away from the three guys that were now pushing each other around the lobby. “There you are! How did it go? Where is Brown Eyes?” she asked looking around.

“He’s in the shower and everything is good, very good,” I smiled, thinking about how good we actually were. I honestly couldn’t wait until he came downstairs so that I could see him again. “It was all just the press twisting his words. How did things work out with Matt?”

“Wait a minute, things were very good?” Maya teased, ignore my question as I rolled my eyes. “So you and Brown Eyes made up all night long?” Oh, god what had I started?

“Please like you and Matt didn’t,” I sighed, crossing my arms in front of my chest as Jimmy screamed something about a demon possessing Johnny. He was casing after him around the lobby with his hands above his head as fans snapped pictures through the front windows. I quickly turned my back to the flashing cameras and pulled Maya over to the side. “But really, what happened?”

“I guess Gates spilled a drink on a girl and Matt gave her his shirt so the press wouldn’t take pictures of her see through shirt. Then he took her back to wardrobe to get a fresh shirt and the flashes went off as soon as they stepped out, taking them both by surprise,” Maya explained, looking around to make sure no one was within hearing distance.

“Well that makes sense,” I mused, giving her a raised brow. “Brian said the press had been chasing them relentlessly to get photos and information, twisting it in any favorable angle, even if it wasn’t true.”

“Yeah, it sucks that they cant just leave us alone. It would make all this so much easier,” Maya sighed before looking over her shoulder one last time.

“What’s up? Why do you keep looking around? Are we being watched?” I carefully glanced around only to see the guys laughing in front of the front desk. Brian and Matt had both joined the group and I couldn’t help but smile as I watched him throw his head back with a laugh. It was honestly one of the best sounds I had ever heard.

“No, I just don’t know how much time we have,” Maya started before I interrupted. “Time for what?”

“Well, when I was coming down here this morning, I heard Jimmy and Jason talking about Brian’s bachelor party,” she said slowly and both of my eyebrows shot up in surprise. Brian hadn’t mentioned anything about having a party any time soon, or even hinted at what they would be doing. “I guess Brian doesn’t know it yet, but it’s going to be in Vegas, and Jimmy is planning the whole thing.”

“Vegas?” I gasped, feeling my heart rate speed up. What would he be doing in Vegas? What was wrong with Huntington Beach…unless they were going to one of those full nudity strip clubs.

“Yep, and Jason asked something about booze and strippers,” Maya said, as if reading my mind. “And you know what happens when Jimmy throws a party,” she sighed as I nervously chewed my bottom lip.

“Yeah everyone gets black out drunk…and with strippers there…” I said apprehensively. “I don’t now how I feel about that,” I admitted, earning a nod from Maya.

“My thoughts exactly. I know he wouldn’t cheat on me but I just don’t like the idea,” Maya shrugged and crossed her arms in front of her chest. “Besides, they totally crashed your bachelorette party because they were worried about us having one last single ladies hurrah. What happens if they thought that because they were going to do that?”

I opened and closed my mouth a few times before I shook my head. “No way, they wouldn’t do that,” I said firmly, shaking all the thoughts of Brian hooking up with some stripper. “I think the press thing just has us worked up about what they do when we are not around, but I don’t think we have anything to worry about.” I trusted Brian and I knew that he wouldn’t do anything that would put our relationship in danger.

“Okay, so maybe you’re right, but I think we should at least talk to Jimmy about it,” Maya continued, her eyes darting back and forth as she spoke. Oh great, she was making some kind of plan. “You know just to make sure the guys are going to be taken care of. Maybe we can even stay nearby to check in on them, just to make sure they aren’t being taken advantage of.”

I nodded just as Brian and Matt started our way. “Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Just get information so we can check in on them and make sure they aren’t doing anything too crazy,” I agreed. That didn’t sound too bad, and it wouldn’t be like we were crashing his party. It would just be checking in and making sure the situation was under control.

Don’t get me wrong, I trusted Brian and knew he would never do anything to jeopardize our relationship, but I also didn’t want Jimmy’s master plan to go out of control, especially with all the press bullshit. The last thing we needed was for someone to get a picture of Brain and some naked stripper. It would just be better for Maya and I to get some information from Jimmy to keep an eye on everything. That way we knew the guys were safe and nothing got out of control.

“Then we will talk to Jimmy tonight,” Maya said just before I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my waist.

“And what are you two beautiful ladies gossiping about over here?” Brian asked, placing a kiss on my cheek. “How sexy your boyfriends are going to look on stage in a few hours?”

“You guys play tonight?” Maya asked, turning around in Matt’s arms with a beaming smile. Just seeing the way he looked at her made me smile. They belonged together and I had no idea why we even considered anything in the media.

“Yep, it’s a short show around three,” Matt replied, before sharing a quick look with Brian. “And then we are taking you ladies out on a double date in the city.”

My eyes instantly lit up as I spun around to look at Brian. “Really? You don’t think the press will follow us?”

“Nah, we’ve got a private car arranged to pick us up right after the show. We will come back and change, and head out before they can even find out where we are,” Brian said, his calloused fingers tracing circles on the exposed skin on my back. They were leaving a trail of goose bumps in their wake and slowly driving me insane all over. How could he turn me on with just one simple touch?

“Besides, who cares if they see us together? Maybe it will get them to back the fuck off,” Matt said and I had to agree. Maybe once they saw us happily together, they would back off and stop chasing after us for a story.

“Yo guys, it’s time to roll,” Matt Berry suddenly called from the front door. “And move quickly, the press has the bus surrounded.”

“Fucking hell, when are they going to stop this shit,” Brian hissed as he carefully pushed me forward. “Put these on and keep your head down, babe.” He quickly pushed a pair of aviators into my hands before we stepped outside the hotel. Cameras were flashing at us from every angle as people yelled questions. Damn, I guess MB wasn’t kidding, it was a fucking mob scene out here. There was barely room to get to the bus, which was the worst I had ever seen the press and we weren’t even at the venue yet.

“Watch your step,” Zack whispered in my ear before he helped me up the steps to the bus. The silence that greeted me onboard was a welcome to relief to my ears. “What a fucking mad house!”

“You weren’t kidding,” Matt spat, pulling Maya down onto his lap at the table. “You think they would get bored making up stories.”

“They’ll never get bored as long as they have something the public is gossiping about,” Brian sighed, running his hands over his face. “If it’s this bad here, I don’t even want to see what the mob is going to look like at the venue.”

“We don’t have to go out if it’s easier to stay in tonight,” I offered. “I don’t care what we do as long as we get to spend time with you guys before we have to go back.”

“You have to go back?” Jimmy wailed, falling down to his knees. “Noo! We have some many secret missions to go on! So many bad guys to catch!”

“No one is going on a secret mission,” Matt and Brian said in unison, pointing at the screeching man in front of me. “Especially not with the press like this. We need to stick together and not run off without telling anyone.”

“What is the fun in that?” Jimmy continued but my attention was on Maya who had just answered her phone. Who was calling? Was Trevor checking up on us?

“Hey Ben,” she said with a small smile as she got off of Matt’s lap. He instantly stiffened and locked his jaw, glaring after her. “Yes, we made it to Philly without any problems.” Maya paused for a moment and then let out a small laugh. “Well I appreciate you checking in to make sure we are okay. Yes, I will be careful but you really don’t have to worry. The guys are taking good care of us.” With each passing second on the phone, the vein in Matt’s neck started to pulse more and more. “Yep, I will do that. Thanks again for checking in on us, yep bye Ben.”

“What hell is he doing calling?” Matt raged, slamming his fist on the table right as soon as Maya hung up the phone.

“He was just checking in on us,” Maya explained but that didn’t seem to appease Matt. I quickly looked up behind me to see Brian watching our best friends with a frown. Did he think there was more going on there?

Matt groaned and ran his hands over his face. “Why is he even talking to you? It’s is fault we are in this mess in the first place! The guy just doesn’t know when to give up!”

“Now wait just a minute!” Maya said in a warning tone, pointing her finger at Matt. The pair of them were now standing in the middle of the bus glaring at each other. “Ben did not cause all this press nonsense! First of all it was Danny and second of all why cant we be friends? It’s not like we’re going to fly off to the UK to be together!”

“But the whole fucking world thinks you are!” he spat and I let out a sigh. This wasn’t how today was supposed to go, and by the way Brian was rubbing my back, I knew he was thinking the same thing. “Can you please just stop talking to him? It would make all of this shit go away!”

“Go away? You think blocking out someone who has done nothing but help us is going to help? Fucking hell, Matt, he has warned us about everything! If you cant accept that Ben is actually trying to be helpful, then maybe I should stop talking to you!” Maya raged before storming off toward the backroom.

“Fuck!” Matt hissed, running his hands over his face before he followed her to the backroom. “Maya wait—” we heard before the backdoor slammed shut.

“Soo…who wants a drink?” Johnny asked a few seconds later, breaking the awkward silence that had settled in the bus.

“I thought you’d never ask,” Zack sighed. “Break out the fucking Jack Daniels,” he said as I cuddled into Brian’s lap and looked up into his eyes. He was staring off into space like he was lost in thought.

I carefully ran my hand up over his cheek and pulled his line of vision down to me with a small smile. “What are you thinking, Mr. Haner?” I asked, instantly getting lost in those deep brown eyes.

Brian frowned and pulled me closer, almost like he was afraid I was going to vanish at any minute. “I was just thinking about how all this press is making us lose are minds,” he mused. “I mean, one minute everything is fine and then the next minute, the press is causing some new issue, whether it be with a false story or the involvement of those asshats from Asking. I just wonder when it’s all going to stop,” he finished.

“I don’t know,” I frowned. “But I think its something everyone is just going to have to work through. I mean, the press is always going to be there, right? You’re famous and we just need to believe in what we have and not let anything else get in the way.”

“You trust me, right?” he asked and I smiled, pressing my forehead to his. “Of course I do.”

“Then you know that I would never do anything that would get in the way of you and me. Hell, if it came down to it babe, I would give up all this to make sure that I still had you. You are the only thing that I need to be happy,” he whispered. My heart fluttered at his words and I couldn’t help but lean forward and press my lips to his.

“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ON OUR BUS!?”

Brian and I quickly pulled away from our kiss as the back door slammed open and Matt came walking out dragging some guy by the collar of his shirt. “Stop the goddamn bus!”

“What the fuck? Were you taking pictures you fucking bastard?” Brian raged, looking at the man who was clutching a camera in his hand. “How did you even get in here?”

“Look, I’m just trying to make a buck to feed my family,” the guys said, gapping around the circle of the men that was surrounding him. Hell, if Avenged Sevenfold and their roadies surrounded me looking pissed off, I would shit my pants too.

“Bullshit! Hand over the camera and we won’t press charges!” Zack warned, stepping forward into the guys face. “No one comes onto our bus uninvited and steals information about our loved ones and families, you slimy piece of shit!”

“But-but—”

“Just hand over the camera, dude. It’ll be a lot easier than dealing with five hot heads,” Jason added.

“Where did he come from?” I asked Maya who had appeared at my side and wrapped her arms around me.

She sighed and twisted her hair between her fingers. “Well, he fell out of the backroom closet while Matt and I were talking things out…” she said with a small frown. “We both over reacted…”

“You don’t have to tell me,” I nudged her in the side to let her know it was teasing. It was no big secret that Matt and Maya were both hot headed and exploded easily. Luckily they were both quick to forgive and forget.

After the reporter was thrown off the bus, we arrived at the venue just in time for the guys to go into wardrobe and get on stage. They played a short set and man was it good to see them on stage. Hearing their music live was one of my favorite things and they never failed to impress. Hell, just watching Brian on stage was like watching walking sex and I had a hard time staying on the sideline. I just couldn’t believe how turned on I got from watching his magic fingers fly across the frets.

And I wasn’t the only one who was turned on by the performance, because as soon as Matt walked off the stage, he and Maya were locked in a heated make out session. Well, I guess they worked things out and were back to normal.

“You guys were so great,” I beamed as Brian pulled away from a kiss. “I hadn’t heard, Dear God live on stage before and it was just as beautiful as the first day you sang it for me,” I breathed, feeling the tears well up in my eyes.

“I meant every word I wrote, love,” he breathed, pulling me close. “And I think of you every time I play it. You are my world, Ave.” And with that he pulled me into a deep kiss, his fingers tangled in my hair and our tongues dancing a sensual tango.

“Hehem, I don’t meant to break up this make out party,” Matt Berry said and I immediately pulled away from Brian with a deep blush on my cheek. “But if you guys want to get out of here, you have to go now. The car is waiting. That means you too, Shads,” he chuckled, clapping his back to get his attention.

“What?” Matt snapped as Maya smirked up at him mischievously up at him.

“The car is waiting, Romeo,” MB chuckled before patting his shoulder and heading to help with tear down.

An hour later, the four of us arrived at the club on the outskirts of Philadelphia. We were immediately taken to the VIP section on the upper deck of the club with our own private bar and table full of shots waiting for us. I guess the guys did go all out on this evening.

I carefully looked around the club in awe, trying to take in all the bright lights and loud drive music. I could already feel my hips swaying to the beat of the driving bass and Maya wasn’t far behind me.

“Here is to a night together without interruption, cheers!” Matt said as we all held up a shot. “Cheers!” we all echoed, throwing back the brightly colored liquid. I could feel my shot burn all the way down and quickly took another one to easy the feeling.

“You wanna dance?” Brian asked and I nodded, grabbed his hand, and pull him down the stairs onto the dance floor.

We found a small space and he pulled me into his body, my arms immediately going around his neck as he pressed me as close as possible to him. We both moved to the beat and just the feeling of his calloused fingers on my lower back and hips was driving me crazy. Within minutes, I turned around and pressed my ass into his hips as I swayed to the beat, feeling his need growing in his pants.


“Fuck Ave, you know you already drive me wild, do you?” Brian licked the shell of my ear while he whispered to me. How could I not know? I could feel his need stabbing me in the ass, which only turned me on even more.

“I don’t know how long I can wait…” he whispered again, and this time his lips wandered down my jawline, placing feather light kisses everywhere. I let out a light moan and leaned back into him, his kisses making me feel like I was floating on cloud nine. He had been turning me on all night and this was just he tip of the iceberg.

“Do you feel what you are doing with me, love? Do you feel it?” Brain grabbed my hips and pressed me even more into his already strained erection into my ass. “I could easily just pick you up and plunge into right here on the dance floor,” he breathed in my ear as a euphoric sensation washed over my body. What was he doing to me?

“Brian…” I groaned, leaning my head back against his shoulder just as the song ended.

“Hey! Come back up here! We’ve got more shots to take!” Maya called over the balcony. Reluctantly, Brian lead me back up the stairs where Matt and Maya were talking shots. She was seated on his lap and I couldn’t help but feel like we were interrupting some private moment they were having. “Here take a shot!” she said, pushing one into our hands.

I quickly downed my shot and then picked up my Long Island Iced Tea that Brian had gotten me from the bar. The refreshingly cold drink went down easily compared to the shots. It wasn’t long before I had a good buzz going, making me feel a little friskier than normal.

“What are you thinking?” Brian whispered in my ear as I played with my straw, knowing he was watching my every move. Oh, I knew exactly what my actions were doing to him and I wasn’t about to stop. Tonight, he would be begging me for more. “Fuck babe…what are you doing to me…”

I winked at him and playfully pulled away, watching the animalist look come over his face. I was pushing Brian to the edge and enjoying every minute of my seduction. I quickly made my way down the stairs toward Maya and Matt on the dance floor, hearing Brian behind me.

My hands instantly went up over my head as I swayed my hips with Maya to the beat of the music. Oh I was having the time of my life with my best friends and I couldn’t help but throw my head back and laugh at their crazy dance moves. The light flashed as the music sped up and I couldn’t help but smirk over at Brian who was watching my every move like an animal on the prowl.

With each beat he moved closer and closer but I just kept dancing with Maya and drinking my drink. “I love this song!” I yelled over the music as Maya threw her head back with a laugh. “I could dance to it all night!”

The next thing I knew, Brian grabbed me around the waist and pulled me off the dance floor and into the back hallway. He pushed me back into the wall, caged me in between his arms, and crashed his lips into mine without a moment’s hesitation.

With that one motion, my body felt like it was flying through the air in some wild sensation. I could feel every nerve ending in my body exploding with our crazed kiss, hands and flying everywhere and hair behind pulled. I couldn’t get enough of my fiancé and I needed him now.

“Ave, I need you! Now! I can’t wait!” he growled, pulling me back towards the 'staff only' sign on the back door. He pressed my back against wall as his tongue trailed own my throat and then into my cleavage. “Oh Brian,” I moaned, wrapping my arms around him.

“You’re driving me insane, Ave,” Brian growled in my ear. “Your dancing, your skirt riding up high, those heels… fuck… I want your legs wrapped around me while I fuck you!” His teeth nipped at my earlobe as my hands started pushing his shirt over his head. Brian’s muscles tensed under my touch as I ran them over his flat abs and then back down around his ass to give it a nice squeeze.

“Mmm, I know what you mean,” I moaned, feeling my thin top pushed up over my head. I moaned as he pinched my nipples through the fabric of my bra.

“I bet I could make you feel better,” he almost chuckled, seeing my eyes roll back in my head with ecstasy.

Moaning lightly, I moved my hand to his pants and touched his dick, desperate to feel it inside of me. I was so turned on that right now I didn’t care that the club was full of people just down the hall and around the corner. I needed this man to fuck me and make feel good.

“Uh, uh, uh,” he said, stepping back. He turned me around and slowly pressed me to the wall, pushing my hair to the side and began kissing my neck.

I closed my eyes again, enjoying his lips on my skin. Each little kiss was taking a hit of a drug and I wanted more—I needed more. He slid his hand to my hips and pulled me closer. I could feel his hard-on pressed against my core through the thin fabric of my underwear.

“Brian” I panted, not being able to control myself anymore. I wanted him and he knew it.

Brian picked me up and pressed my back to the wall as I wrapped my legs around his waist, kissing my neck in the most teasing way possible. “Tell me what you want…” He breathed against my skin.

“I want you to—” Only I didn’t get to finish my sentence because suddenly a bright flash illuminated the hallway.

“Fuck!”
