Exhausted and weary from touring Avi fought the urge to just wrap himself in seclusion and therefore force Rayne to do the same. He was certain that she wouldn't mind, but he wanted to be fair, so he accepted Kirstin's invitation to the party. He di...

They saw the light from the bonfire as they walked hand in hand back down the beach under the star lit sky. They were smiling contentedly despite the chill in the night air. Avi looked at Rayne as he gently squeezed her hand. She thought for sure he was going to let her hand go as they drew close enough for the other party goers to see and recognize him. There were bound to be people that were more a part of the fandom than they were true friends around. You never knew when a stray camera might snap you holding hands with the woman that was supposed to be just your friend. He wouldn't want to risk exposure.
Much to her surprise, he pulled her hand up to his lips and gently kissed her fingers. They had stopped perhaps 40 yards away from everyone else.
"One day, I think I'd like to follow my mom's advice." She could see the outline of his smile and hear it in his voice.
"Oh really?" She questioned doing her best to keep her sudden nervousness out of her voice.
"Yeah. I want to do that with you. One day. Not yet, no rush, not now, but eventually. When we are both ready. Yes. I definitely want to do that with you." She could hardly see his expression, but she didn't need to, to know that he spoke in all seriousness. A slow and steady smile crept up to his eyes and dazzled from his face.
"And a whole bunch of other things as soon as we are alone again." He purred and sent a pleasurable shiver down her spine. His voice and the promise of a long and wondrous night alone, as soon as they could get off the beach nearly made her swoon. He slipped a kiss on her cheek and turned so they could walk the rest of the way to the party. He let her hand go as they stepped into the ring of light cast by the blazing fire. The heat felt so good against their skin as they navigated to their beach blanket, extra clothes and their guitars.
Just as he'd predicted, Scott was the first to acknowledge their return and vocalize it.
"Welcome back! I was just getting ready to call out the national guard to form a search party. Thought maybe you drown or gotten lost." His bright blue eyes shone as they looked over Rayne and Avi for a long moment.
"We got a little lost." Avi shrugged. It was the truth, a version of it anyway. They had gotten lost, lost in each other. They'd each been found by the other too in the most pleasant of ways.
"I'd say." Mitch chimed in from the other side of the fire as he walked towards them. He hadn't been keeping track of the time on purpose but he was very aware that they had been gone for over 2 hours. He didn't have to look at either of them to know what they had been doing. He didn't need to see the small hickey Avi had left near her clavicle. He did that every time he got carried away with Rayne. Which seemed to be every time they had sex. But he could see how Avi could find that throat and neck irresistible. He could see that in every part of her. He laughed at himself as he reminded his heart that he didn't like girls. Now, Avi. Avi was ever the passionate person. He wondered, very briefly, what Avi's hands and lips would feel like against his skin. Several thoughts along that line crossed his mind before they could be thoroughly dismissed or escape.
