Brian’s POV

The rehearsal was going good, too good and I knew I shouldn’t be too hyped about it. I loved to play, loved to be on a stage, but I loved it even more when I could look my fiancé in the eye while doing exactly that.

Problem was this was the last time we got to do just that with our girls. I saw how happy every single band member and even crew member was, and those girls right there at the center of the crowd area had a hell of a lot to do with that.

Right when we were done our manager showed up and what a pleasant surprise, we hoped he could give us some good updates on the Asking situation, but what he said first made Matt and me share a concerned look.

“Yes it was Trevor,” Maya sighed. “But before you start saying we should kick him out, he’s changed. He’s been in therapy and he came back to Huntington Beach to make amends.”
Larry scoffed and shook his head. “I don’t believe that for a second. That boy has been nothing but trouble from the get go and I don’t want you girls to get to close, especially you Maya. I wouldn’t trust a thing he says,” Ave’s dad warned, causing me and Matt to share another long look.

What did Larry know, that we didn’t? Maybe I should try and ask him about it. I bet Larry would talk to Matt and me, the situation was concerning his little girls and Matt and I just wanted to safe them from trouble, so he would probably be happy if we could interfere somehow.

“I’m sorry Mr. Jacobson, but he’s the only family I have and I’m not going to turn him away because of a mistake he made when he was teenager,” Maya said sternly as Larry sighed again.
“I wish you would reconsider your choice, Maya and I hope for your sake that you are right,” he said before turning to Matt and me. “So I have some news on the Asking interview.”

After talking about the current situation with Asking and the hopefully avoidable interview leak I felt a little relief, but that was quickly distracted by the voice I hoped not to hear so soon again, and why did he have to barge into a band situation, what the hell was Maya thinking taking him along here?!

“What’s behind you? Everything okay?” Trevor asked, approaching the group from the shadows to our left. I could barely hold the annoyed sigh that wanted to escape me. I mean, why was this guy even here?!

I know he was Maya’s brother, but… we were completely fine without him and I still had no idea where to put him. I would try to hold my horses as long as I didn’t have an actual proof for him being a bad guy, but everything Ave told me and what I heard so far, I knew he wouldn’t become one of my buddies, too much happened, and what’s also weird, was that apparently Maya would forgive him so easily.

Just how bad was she missing her family? Hadn’t we made up for that enough? Haven’t we seen that she was still having a hard time? Could she fool us that easily? Maybe Matt knew more? I had to talk to him about it again, maybe best when we were on tour, so the girls and especially Trevor wouldn’t be in our close proximity. “Something wrong with the tour?” Trevor continued and I frowned even more, why did he seem so interested in the fact that we had trouble, or was he really concerned?!

I shook my head, we really had to be careful with this guy. I still couldn’t figure out what his real motives were.

"Nothing for you to worry about" Matt said quickly, shutting everyone up who could say a wrong word. I bet he was thinking like I was, not wanting to give too much away to a guy we didn’t know what to think of yet.

"Sorry, I just wanted to-" Trevor began putting on some defensive face and holding his hands up in surrender, but Maya stepped forward "It's fine, I'll give you an update later" She smiled at Trevor who nodded and I quickly shared a look with Matt, maybe he should have a serious talk with Maya about this... I mean... "Don’t" Ave whispered beside me, tapping my arm and I looked down on her, squeezing her hip to me.

"What? I didn’t say anything?!" I whispered back while the others were already starting another discussion.
"I saw the way you and Matt looked at each other, that never is a good sign" She said and I rolled my eyes.

"After saying goodbye to the crew, how about we head right back home? I think we have some things to do before I have to leave" I let my hand run down Ave's backside and patted her ass, my eyes on Larry to make sure he wasn’t watching what I was doing with his daughter.

"Hm.. and what do we have to do?" Ave smirked up to me and I grinned widely "Well, I think you should think about something good, so I will keep you in mind all the time while we are on the road." I winked at her while she raised her eyebrow at me.

"I need to think about something good? Why not you?" She shot back and I chuckled "Believe me, love... I already have something in mind for you... and you will probably not be able to walk properly the next few days, and always think about me, when I am done with you"

Ave's cheeks turned a bright pink and I chuckled even more while pressing her into my body, god only thinking about her and talking with her like that made me hard already.
When Ave realized where my thoughts had completely turned to and that my erection was stepping her in the hip while I hugged her to me, she lifted her head to stare at me.

I shrugged "Don’t blame me... That's what you do to me, love" I leaned down to capture her lips with mine when a voice interrupted.
“Maya, Avery… I guess I should be heading home for now… I don’t wanna interrupt the goodbyes and all that…” Trevor voice sounded directly beside me so I slowly pulled away from Ave.

“Sounds like a plan” I growled, again being interrupted by this guy and it was starting to piss me majorly off.
Trevor seemed to stare at me for a moment before giving Ave a smile and turning to Maya.
“How about you wait a few more minutes and we bring you back to the hotel, afterwards you pack up your stuff from the hotel, and we meet back at our house at… hm.. around seven?” Maya’s voice sounded and I heard Matt’s harsh whisper, what the hell she was talking about?!

Did Maya want the guy to move in with her?! I turned around to stare at the scene and Maya shrugged after Matt’s attempt to brush off the insane idea, I mean… we didn’t even really know this guy, okay he was her brother, but they haven’t freaking seen each other in ten goddamn years!

“Let’s go” I gave Ave’s hip a light squeeze and moved forward, but was yet again interrupted “You guys wanted to go without saying goodbye! These guys have a bad bad influence on you!” MB stood before me and Ave, his arms crossed over his chest, his eyebrow raised and I mentally kicked myself, why hadn’t I left earlier now we had to do the big goodbye scene with all crew members, sometimes it was a goddamn sickness that our girls were loved by everyone nearly as dearly as they were loved by us.

And as predicted all crewmembers were hugging and kissing cheeks and twirling our girls around while Matt, Trevor and I stood at the side watching the scene with a little annoyance and okay… fine maybe a little joy too, I mean look at Ave she was freaking stunning.

“Can I ask you guys something?” Trevor’s voice sounded beside me and I could only barely direct my eyes over to him.
“Sure” I mumbled, but looking right back to Ave and Maya laughing loudly at some foul comment from The body about watching out we don’t do any bullshit in their absence, asshole…

“Hm… nah nevermind…” He shrugged and I frowned, what the hell was he about to say?
“Spill it” Matt said next to me, his arms crossed over his chest as well, his eyes glued to Maya who was whispering something to MB, those two never had good idea, I mean it, it was nearly as bad as her and Jimmy.

“I was just wondering how the girls can be this close to everyone… I mean just as friends… they are all guys… weren’t there some troubles, but I guess you can easily shrug it off right… being open about it and all… But like I said nevermind, not even my business.” Trevor waved his hand as if we should forget the topic and I frowned, what the fuck did that mean?

But before I could ponder the topic more, our girls were finally realized after the goodbyes and Ave came right back into my arms, and the world seemed to stop. I smiled down at her and placed a tender kiss on her forehead, I really couldn’t describe my feelings for this little woman, she was just my everything.

After parting with Maya, Matt and Trevor Ave and I went straight back home. As soon as Ave moved into the house, I shut the door with my foot and pushed her against the next wall.
“You will be mine! NOW!” I growled at her and Ave began to squirm, a soft moan escaping her.

My fingers moved under her shirt and opened her bra with quick moves, I pulled the shirt over her head and let the bra drop to the floor, looking there way better anyway.
I kneaded her breast while pressing her more firmly against the wall. I let her feel my need for her and when my hard member pressed into her core she moaned even louder, and wasn’t that music to my ears.

“God Ave!” I bit the side of her neck, leaving a small mark then leaning in and kissing the sting away, I trailed kisses along her throat down to her collarbone. Her small hands found their way into my hair, running them through it and then when I met just the right place to suck on she tightly gripped my hair and I let out a small groan. I loved when she lost control like that.

“More Love… I need more” I growled and sucked on her erect nipples, while kneading the other breast with my hand. I needed to taste her, couldn’t leave her without a real taste.
I opened her shorts and pulled them down her tanned legs, then hooked my fingers into her panties and dropped them to her feet as well. I could smell her arousal, I trailed my fingers over her thighs and felt Ave shiver.

I smirked, she was so receptive to my touch, it was magical. I kneeled down before her and pressed her legs wide open. I trailed kisses down her stomach and let my fingers run over her clit, her legs quivered and I pressed her more firmly back to steady her.

I reached her clit and let my tongue travel further down, taking time to explore, to memorizes, to enjoy.

I let one finger slowly enter and withdraw right away, Ave growled and shot her hips forward demanding more, that was my little sex kitten, I loved that.
I entered the finger again and took my time to pull out and push back in while my tongue swirled around her little nub.

Ave began to moan, her hips moving on her own accord, her hands holding my head steady, sometimes the emotion getting too much, wanting to pull me away, then pressing me more firmly too her while moaning my name until her release clashed down on her and screamed my name for everyone to hear and wasn’t that a satisfying feeling?!

Ave and I spend the rest of the day mostly in a lying position, we took care that we both wouldn’t forget about the other one in our absence, and believe me I bet we were both sore for the next couple of days.

The doorbell rang and I knew it was time to say goodbye, I pulled Ave close and sighed loudly.
“It’s not that long, and I’ll call you whenever I can.” I whispered in her ear.
We said we would make this quick, didn’t want to drag out the unenviable too long.

“I know… I’m still gonna miss you bad” Ave’s voice sounded muffled, her face pressed into my shirt.

“I’m gonna miss you too. But with all the work in the store and wedding planning, you and Maya will not even notice that we are gone… We will be back before you know it. And we still have a break in between, so we will try to meet up then, how does that sound?”
“Better” Ave looked finally up, her arms sneaked around my neck and pulling me down to her.

“I love you” I said in between kisses, when the doorbell rang again and Matt’s voice sounded I knew our time was now really up.

“I had to say goodbye too, get your ass in the bus, dickhead” Matt grumbled not sounding too happy about it and I sighed.
“I’ll let you know when we are at the hotel.” I gave Ave a final kiss and she smiled bravely at me, even when I knew she wasn’t happy about us leaving. “Just two month, love… and then our wedding is closing in and you will be officially and legally mine.”

“HANER GODDAMN IT!!” Matt’s voice boomed again and I opened the door quickly before he burst inside.
“I’m here… don’t worry.” With one last wave at Ave I shut the door behind me, a heavy feeling settling in my stomach.

Trevor’s POV

Well well well, what news did I gain during the last days?!
It was even better than I expected, even though watching Maya and Ave with those guys all the time was making me more and more sick… now that they were gone my plan could really set in.

I was a little concerned about the fact that Avery’s father had shown up at the rehearsal days ago and wanted to shut me away from them, but gladly my sister was already so deep in believing all my lies that she wouldn’t take anything from anyone.

She had always been like that, her opinion weight out the others, even though I noticed this guy… Sanders, he had way too much influence on her. And the way he was watching me wasn’t anything I felt comfortable with.

But that problem had solved itself with them leaving… At the rehearsal they thought I hadn’t gotten what the whole talk was about, huh?!
Naïve people they were… I mean I had been waiting in the corner for them to pop out information and look what I got for exclusive information.

An interview about to leak, well if that wasn’t interesting… now all those little secrets I gained during the last days made sense. I mean… Asking Alexandria… and Maya… I haven’t seen the interview yet, but rumored was that my sister had broken the lead guitarist heart and he was still mourning for her loss… If that wasn’t a headline for the newspapers I didn’t know what.

Just a question, how could I gain more information on the whole topic… and letting it rise bigger than it was, this would be the ultimate plan on ruining her life, wasn’t it?!

And come on I knew these girls even in my absence from ten years, if Maya had been hanging out with those Asking guys Avery couldn’t have been far.
They were like twins, where one goes the other would follow, it was kinda disgusting sometimes… which would also bring me to a problem that I had to solve.
As long as my sister was always around Avery, I couldn’t get to move my plan of seducing the little blonde forward.

But back to the main situation for now, to stir some confusion I started leaving small hints, I knew I was gaining Avery’s trust and Maya was already under my spell. Since the guys left about two days ago, I was spending all my time with the girls.

Maya’s phone beeped on the coffee table beside me. I looked around, “Maya?” I yelled, making sure she was still in the bathroom getting ready for my plan of the day.
No answer. I stood up and heard the shower still running.

I grabbed the phone opened the message, disgusting… like I said.

I hate waking up without you, babe.
What are your plans for today?
I miss you, call me as soon as you get this.
Love, Matt

I guess, Matt… would wait a little longer for the call today. I pushed the delete button and looked back around.

No new messages

Grinning I scrolled down in her messages and down under all the recent names was a message log I was searching for.

Ben Bruce, and there were a lot of them… the last one about the interview but the ones before all with written love statements, and him missing her… I looked at the date, even some pretty extreme and saucy messages… seems like that kinda guy if you ask me.

The shower shut down and I quickly shut the phone off and laid it back on the table. Now I knew what I was searching for, later in an unnoticed moment I would forward some of these messages to me, maybe some magazine would pay for reading these private notes in company of the interview.

“Did you call for me?” Maya’s voice interrupted my thoughts and I turned around looking at her.
“What? Oh yeah.. I just wanted to know if you are almost done.. I mean I could pick up Avery and you could get ready without stress” I asked, that would be a perfect plan to spend some time with Avery alone.
“Oh.. well… You can pick her up sure.. But I just need 20 more minutes.” Maya shrugged and I nodded.

“Don’t worry, I’ll pick her up and then we can go right away.” I kissed her cheek and went to the door, grabbing her car keys. “Oh… and did Matt already call? I mean… they are pretty busy, right? Still he could at least ask if you are alright…” Just at the mention of Matt’s name Maya’s face fell, the girls were pretty down since the guys left but I tried to cheer them up whenever I could, but only on my way.

“I-I… no not yet. But he normally sends me a message early so I would call him. Probably just a matter of minutes.” She gave me a half smile and I smiled back, knowing that message she hoped for would never reach her.

“I’ll be back with Avery soon and then we gonna have an awesome day, alright? Don’t think about those guys now having fun with the fans and all… We will just make us a perfect day as well… you, me and little Avery.” I opened the door and saw Maya was already checking her phone, nothing so far sweetie… I would make sure of that.

I drove over to Avery’s and knocked at the door. She opened up, her eyes widened, “We said in half an hour, what are you guys… where is M?” Ave asked her cheeks flushed from her recent hot shower, and wasn’t that a sight I wanted to see more often, while the rest of her body would be bared to me as well, flushed and naked.

“I still need to dry my hair… I-I wasn’t expecting you this early” Ave stuttered a little while she looked me up and down.
“Hey don’t worry. Maya wasn’t done either, I told her I would pick you up as soon as you were ready. Just go ahead… even though I gotta tell you, you look fantastic already” I gave her my charming smile and her cheeks flushed even pinker.

Was she remembering the times when we were younger? Our shared kiss, the way she reacted to me back then? I believe now that she was a grownup she would be amazing in bed, and I planned to test that… soon!

“Well.. okay. Come in” She motioned for me to come inside and I walked straight into the kitchen, seeing her phone lying there as well.
“Just go get ready, I’ll wait here.” I told her and shooed her away, she looked at me a second longer, but her trust in me was winning. I hadn’t done anything to rouse her distrust and that was paying off now.

Just when the blow dryer went on her phone started to ring. Please don’t be her dad, please…

Brian calling

Well, if that wasn’t coincidence.

I took the phone in hand and grinned picking up “Hello” I answered and heard some rustling.
“Hey love… I can’t hear you… hellooo?” Haner’s voice sounded over the speaker.
“It’s Trevor… Can you hear me now?” I asked again and silence greeted me.
“Haner?” I asked and then his voice became clear “What the hell… where is Ave? And why are you on her phone?!”

“Oh.. I’m at her place just now. We will go to the beach, she is just getting ready, packing up her bikini and sun crème… what can I do for you?” His head must be spinning already with that tidbit of information I gave him and not even a lie.

After the girls would check in with work, I planned to take them to a nice beach day. I packed up everything we would need and the girls were just meant to pack clothes for a sunny day.
“I-I you… what?” Brian’s irritated voice sounded and I grinned.
“Should I tell her you called or something? I mean I can interrupt her for a few seconds?” I asked and I heard some cursing.
“Don’t you… I just… Tell her to call me back.” With that the line went dead and I grinned.

Avery approached only seconds later and I looked her up and down, whistling. “Woah Avery… If I had known- No, I shouldn’t say this.. you are an engaged woman.” I clamped my mouth shut but Ave seemed interested in my words a small smile on her oh so kissable lips, I just had to move slow and gain more trust and plant more seeds in their heads… it would take me some more time.. but it was going there…

I held my arm out for Avery to hook into and without a second thought she did. I carried her bag and brought her to the car.

“What exactly are you planning to do today?” Avery asked sitting beside me in the luxury car that Maya owned.
“You want to know that, huh? It’s a surprise… or I would have told you all along. Oh by the way… Brian called, but you were still in the bathroom… I should tell you to call him back later” I said, I couldn’t keep the information from her, knowing she would see the call later and, I was sure Haner would point the fact out to her as well, so I couldn’t risk the break in trust there now.

“Oh, did he say something else?” She asked pulling her phone out right away and I wanted to growl.
“No, it was pretty loud… I would suggest calling him a little later, when he is not in such a crowded area… I heard women calling his name, probably just arrived at some festival area or something” I said and noticed at the mentioning of women calling his name Ave sucked in air.

I grinned to myself when I noticed that Avery didn’t try and call him right away. I carefully laid my hand on her bare knee, feeling her soft skin.
“Hey Ave… don’t worry… It’s gonna be fine…” I told her and her blue eyes met mine dark ones for a second and I gave her a sympathy smile, she breathed deeply in and out.

“You are right, it’s gonna be fine. Now let’s enjoy the day you planned for us, shall we?!” Avery said and squeezed my hand that still lay on her knee, just a few more days and that hand would be lying somewhere else…

Maya’s POV

I knew it would be though when the guys left, but that it would be like this, I didn’t expect.
It’s been four days now, the festival tour just started and I was already feeling horrible and alone.

I knew I had nothing to fear, Matt and I were happy together, we loved each other and I still planned to pop the big question to him… but the way my heart hurts when he was gone was making this really hard.
My only light in all this were the little text and calls he was sending me.

Even though sometimes he must forget about them… because even after I wrote him or we talked about sending goodnight or goodmorning texts nothing arrived.
I shouldn’t worry about that, though… I mean, he was working, he was busy with shows and all that…

“So tomorrow is the concert you got tickets for?” Trevor asked lying beside me and Ave on our couch. Ave and I had been planning her wedding further, while we afterwards brainstormed new ideas for my proposal plan. Trevor mostly sat quietly beside us, not commenting much. It was getting late already but both Ave and I didn’t really enjoy to be alone much, especially knowing our men were at some show, with thousandth of fans cheering for them and urging them on…

“Yes, that will be a nice distraction” Ave replied and I nodded, completely agreeing. Some live music and seeing familiar faces from bands we had met before would be nice.
“That’s cool… And your men see that so easy, I really envy them for that… I mean all this openness… I would be jealous as hell” Trevor said and I frowned, what did he mean with that?!

“What do you mean? Jealous that we go on a concert? That’s ridiculous” I shook my head, they trust us, there was nothing weird about it.
“No… not that, but I mean all the guys surrounding you… and sharing you and you letting them on the loose… That’s really something” Trevor shrugged and this time it was Ave’s turn to question deeper.

“What exactly do you mean with that?” Ave asked sitting up straighter and I turned my head as well glaring at Trevor, what image did he have off our relationships?
Trevor seemed confused “I didn’t mean to upset you girls… I was just thinking.. with the open relationship and all.. I would be too possessive to give away my girl or give myself to someone else while I was in an honest relationship, but I guess with rock stars and all that it’s not that easy, huh?”

My mouth was hanging open at his words, open relationships? He thought we would be… sharing? How would he come to think of that?!
“You think we have open relationships?” Ave asked in disbelief and I tried to think of any way how he would come up with this thoughts.

“You don’t?” Trevor asked confused and I shook my head “NO, of course not! How would you come to think of that?” I asked and he seemed really confused by our vehement statement, had the guys told him anything that would lead to this thoughts?
Would have Matt and Brian been talking about the groupies and fans and all women throwing themselves at them?!

“I just… forget about it, maybe I just misunderstood something. Didn’t want to give you any wrong thoughts…” Trevor waved off but I shared a long look with Avery, something sounded damn wrong about this and I was getting a little afraid what the guys might have talked about while we weren’t there.
I should talk to Avery about that some time alone… This was making my uneasy feeling in the stomach just worse.

The night that came had been filled with weird dreams and nightmares, I woke up in the middle of the night. I grabbed my phone and without thinking dialed Matt’s number.
“Babe? Is something wrong?” Matt answered after the third ring, his voice sounding gruff and sleepy and I regretted calling him right away.

“I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have called big guy…” I was about to hang up on him when his voice interrupted me.
“Don’t you dare, you can always call me, no matter when, not matter why… What’s wrong?!” He sounded concerned and I sighed heavily.
“I don’t know… I just.. I missed you, and haven’t heard from you that much… I had nightmares…” I admitted slowly and heard some rustling and heavy breathing.

“I miss you, too. I-I tried to call you earlier but the connection must have been bad. I have been thinking about you all the time…” Matt soothed me and I felt warmth spread within me. Maybe I was just being too concerned about everything… with all the work in the store and all the planning… the guys being away, and not knowing what was really happening there… Shit, I was behaving like a fool… again.

“I’m sorry… I was just kinda freaking out. I don’t know why… “ I said and buried myself deeper into the blanket, smelling Matt’s cologne that was still in the sheets.
“Don’t apologize, M. I’m glad you called… I missed hearing your voice… are you in bed?” His voice got husky saying the last part and I smiled to myself.

“I am lying on your side, smelling your cologne and wishing you were here with me” I said back and heard a small groan coming from Matt.
“I wished you were here too… this small bunk sucks… but this small bunk with you in it would be totally worth the effort… I know exactly what I would do with you now that we were both awake” Matt said and only hearing this voice was turning me on, imagining what we would be doing in the tour bus was making me wet.

“Shut the fuck up, Sanders… Some people try to sleep here!” Christ voice sounded and I heard a heavy sigh form Matt.

“Fucking asshole” Matt muttered “It’s fine.. go back to sleep, big guy. I’ll call you tomorrow… before we head out to the concert.” I smiled thinking about his gift.
“Oh right, that’s gonna be awesome, send me some pictures and don’t forget to call… and M?” He paused for a while.

“Yeah…” I answered slowly before he continued, “Please… Call me whenever you feel like it, no matter when, okay? I love you, babe”
“Love you too.” With that he was gone, the line went dead and I fell back into an exhausted sleep but with a little better feeling than before.

In the morning I felt a little better, after talking to Matt the night before. But soon this feeling of uneasiness began to settle in my stomach, and I didn’t know what the cause was.
Ave came over to pick me up for work, Trevor was still sleeping and I thought he deserved to sleep longer than the other days.

I mean he was spending nearly 24/7 with me and Ave and tried to cheer us up and make plans with us whenever he could, but he was still only a man and he needed to rest.
I grabbed my purse and looked at the money inside, didn’t I have 50 more bucks in my purse yesterday, where had I spend it?
Shit, I wanted to grab breakfast on the way to work, but I guess Ave would have to pay this time… or did I lose the money, while paying for the gas yesterday?

I frowned when I heard a knock on the door, I wrote Ave earlier that Trevor was still sleeping. He couldn’t be helping us at work today anyway, we had some people coming over for job interviews as staff members and we wanted to talk to two our best crew members if they were willing to take more responsibility, so Ave and I could work from home and take some more time off…

I grabbed my bag and closed the door quietly behind me and Ave, we grabbed the coffee and bagels on the way and shut us into the office rooms.
We discussed the plans for the next day and had the job interviews, which were good so far. Two new employees to welcome into our shop family...

“What’s next?” Ave asked and I sighed heavily “Well, what about the wedding, we should really put a spin on it, get everything done what we can while the guys are away.” I said and Ave nodded.
“I know, but.. it feels so weird without Brian” She pouted and I nodded “I know…” I thought about Matt and got a heavy heart right away.

“What do you think they are doing right now?” I asked and Ave’s shoulders dropped “No idea, Brian didn’t call me yet…” She seemed a little upset and I hugged her to me.
“You know they are busy Ave… don’t worry. And don’t forget we got some fun plans tonight as well… We should dress up and send them pictures… and some videos while we rock the backstage area, what do you say?” I asked excitedly and Ave’s eyes lit up as well.

“That sounds like an awesome plan… Let’s get the last work behind us and then get ready for the show, and tease our boyfriends a little with what they are missing out on…”
