Demons without Desire

Mixed emotions

Aaron POV

Squeals erupted from the back of the RV causing me to look at Bacon and roll my eyes. It had started off with the odd giggle, then a lot of giggling and now squealing.

I smiled to myself knowing Zak was actually happy, we all deserved happiness in our line of work, I knew that much for sure. But I couldn't help feel a little bit of jealousy, women seemed to flock to him I guess the looks, hair and physique had its appeal. Not to mention the money side of things, I toned down my earnings where as Zak lavished in big houses and Lamborghini's but hey? Who am I to tell him how to spend his money?

"ZA-" Kaylee squealed loudly and then cackled hard.

"You okay bro? You been quiet for a while now." Bacon noted looking at me from the drivers seat.

I nodded "Yeah I'm fine."

"Sure? Is it cause..." He flicked his head back subtly to the pair in the back.

"Ye- no I don't know man. She's a good girl, you know what he can be like sometimes." I replied.

Bacon nodded, we all knew when Zak needed time alone when we were away. The day he would be texting nonstop, only stopping in between shoots. Then he would detach himself for an 'early night' but in fact he was having some girl over in his hotel room for a rendezvous before they headed back into the night.

"I just hope he's not leading her on man, I really like her." I frowned.

"As-"

"As in different time and different place kinda like bro. I think it's the accent and her nature. I don't want her getting hurt."

"I know."

"But here's my issue." I whispered to Bacon who nodded for me to continue.

"He is really, really happy. I mean. I haven't seen him like this in years bro, we all he good days and bad days right? But he is like.. Beaming."

"Perhaps he's finally happy?" Bacon suggested.

"Maybe." I shrugged thinking back to a time when I was that happy, it would have to be when I was with my wife. Now ex wife.

We had been driving all day and I could tell Bacon was getting restless, I would be to. Deciding to take matters into my own hands I found the nearest hotel and called time on travelling for tonight.

"We here already?!" Zak called down.

"We are done for tonight." I answered getting stuff together and heading out the RV leaving Zak and Kaylee to their play fighting.

I sorted rooms with the front desk when Kaylee stormed in with her arms folded and Zak following behind with a smirk on his face.

"What's happened?" I asked.

"He hit me.. It hurt." She sulked as Zak tried to stop his smile. 

Zak smiling like a goof at her tried to apologise and kiss it better, I guess from the mark on her cheek he had caught her.

"Get off me Bagans. We are done here you horrible man." She huffed trying to ignore him.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Kaylee who was pouting hard, there was no denying she was a beautiful woman, fuller figure and a good sense of humour.

To me she's the perfect girl, I just hoped Zak realised it and didn't let her go easily like he has with the others that's warmed his bed.

Out of them all, I like Kaylee the most, she was interested in the paranormal and not saying it for the sake of it. This girl wanted to do her own thing and make her own money, she was determined and I guess knowing that made me like her more.

But she is Zak's girl, that was clear from his love sick puppy face, staring at her like she's his owner.

"I've said I'm sorry." He smiled.

"Try looking it. Bird brain."

"I didn't think it was that hard. I'm sorry." He apologised as I dished out key cards.

"Hmm." She replied as he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her forehead gently.

They were like a couple of teenagers as within a minute they were running out the hotel grabbing their cases. They couldn't have been any louder at 12am when Zak carried her in over his shoulder as she laughed pulling both bags with her hands.

"Will you two keep it down?" I asked quietly.

"Oh Kaylee shh." Zak hushed and tapped her bum making her giggle.

"Sorry Aaron." She apologised as they passed and went into the lift. I ran my hand over my face and decided it was time for bed.

An hour later....

Kaylee POV

I smirked as I felt Zak's hand on my hip "No, stop." I whispered pushing it away.

"Play with me. Come on..." He sang quietly.

That's how the play fighting started in the RV, someone had wandering hands and then it went from there. The next thing I know, Zak's on me as we are wrestling, I gave him a few sly punches, and he returned them until the last one caught my cheek. We both froze looking at each other horrified at what had happened. That's when I decided to sulk.

"K-k-k-k-Kaylee. I think you got me going c-c-c-crazy!" He sang making me laugh and push him back over to his side of the bed.

"Fine..." He sighed and rolled himself up in the bedding leaving me with none.

Seeing my opportunity, I took it!

I rolled him off the bed and onto the floor with a hard thump.

"Ooooowwh!" He moaned making me giggle.

Eventually he made an appearance and threw the comforter over our heads and  snuggled into me. We stayed there for a whole kissing and cuddling until it became unbearable.

"Oh my god it's so hot!" I moaned kicking the comforters off my face. Zak stayed hidden and then came the nibbling which had caused my squealing earlier. Taking little nibbles and kisses he went from my chest to my ear before nuzzling into my neck.

"I love hearing you laugh." He sighed laying his head beside mine.

"Well you always make me laugh." I replied giving him a smile.

"Good, that's what I'm here for.."

Seeing his hand I picked it up within mine and kissed his knuckles before soothing them with my thumb. Violence wasn't the answer and I hoped I would never see  a side like that of him again. He scared me when he was angry, although it wasn't directed at me.

"I hope you weren't offended earlier.. When I said no to you coming in on the lockdown." Zak spoke making me look across at him.

"No, not at all. I don't think I'm ready, not yet. It was a nice idea, don't get me wrong but I would rather build myself up again, spiritually before trying anything." I replied making him
nod approvingly.

"Glad we are on the same page.. Now. I don't want to alarm you but there is something on your neck." He pointed.

I froze. "What is it?"

"I-

"What is it?! Get it off! What is it?!"  I panicked.

"It's me!" He triumphed before diving for my neck making me squeal and giggle.
