Chapter 38

(Trigger warnings:  Language and sexual content.)

(Jared' POV)

We all had dinner at a a nearby restaurant. I'd contemplated ducking out, but I wanted to spend some time with Brittany before she left.

'I guess I should apologize for not telling you earlier about going with Missi. It just kept slipping my mind.' Brittany said as we walked alone back to the bus.

'I do tend to get upset when I'm out of the loop. I understand why you're going, touring is a bitch. I guess I never expected you'd leave though.'

'Some time apart may do us good. Maybe we fell into this relationship too quickly. I hope you understand I don't want to be a toy. I just want to be loved.'

'I do love you Brit. The stress of touring puts me in overdrive. Having to be on and performing all the time is stressful. I think that's why I control other aspects. As strange as it sounds, controlling for me is a release.'

'And that's where we differ. If you need more Jared, by all means take this time apart and figure out what you want.'

'What about you? What do you want?'

'I want to live without a set of rules, let things happen naturally, enjoy life.'

'I didn't get where I am by just letting things happen, its engrained in me. It was a struggle.'

'We've all had our struggles. Everything I've done has been of my own doing. I came from nothing. I left home at an early age to escape a controlling father. I guess that's why dominance is an issue for me. I can't bend much more Jared, not without ending up resenting you. Love should be give and take and I want to give, not be told what I can and can't do.'

'Those situations do manifest themselves differently depending on the individual.'

'Does who we are always need to be analyzed? We shouldn't need to change to stay together. I don't want you to end up resenting me either.'

'I'll take that into consideration.' I said frustratedly, suddenly having had enough discussion.

'Good night.' She said and boarded the bus.

I didn't follow her. I took a walk instead.

(Shannon's POV)

'Do you know how much I'm going to miss you?' I asked Missi as we were cuddling in my bunk.

'I'm going to miss you too.'

'I don't like being without you.'

'We'll be fine Shannon. I'm more worried about Brittany and Jared.'

'I think they'll be fine eventually. We had our share of struggles and made it through.'

'We still have them.' She said grinning.

'Smart ass.'

'But we keep making it through.' She said touching my face softly as her grin faded and she searched my eyes.

I turned off the bunk light and kissed her. I needed to be with her before she left the next morning, rules or no rules. Very little foreplay was necessary, simply knowing it would be a while had me good to go, as well as wanting to make it memorable.

'I love you.' I whispered, kissing her forehead gently. 'Just in case.' I said placing my hand over her mouth before plunging in hard and fast.

'Oh Christ.' I groaned quietly with satisfaction and kept thrusting forcefully.
