Come Break Me Down

Chapter 8

The next few days were crazy and busy. He was getting sick, but wouldn't slow down and rest long enough to get well. I felt guilty because he took me to a lot of places that he'd been in the past and I worried that his refusal to slow down was because of me. As always, a group of fans followed behind us as we walked through the streets.

It was our last day together in Russia and I was already depressed about having to leave him again. I knew he could tell that I was sad because he would stick that bottom lip out and pretend to be pouting.
After we ate that night he took my hand and walked with me out on the balcony of his hotel room. He stood behind me with his arms wrapped around me. It was so different now that his muscles were bigger and I was loving it. He pressed himself into my back and whispered into my ear. "I've got a surprise for you, baby."

I smiled as I tilted my head back and looked up at him. "What's that?"

He stared straight ahead as he spoke. "I'm flying back with you for a few days. I would've told you sooner, but I wasn't sure that I could change some things around."
I felt my body relax immediately with his revelation. I looked out at the city all lit up, feeling content as ever. I would have him home for a few days and knew that the time would pass really fast, but I didn't care. At least I'd have him home.
He led me inside by my wrist and I watched him close the doors. Pulling me against his chest, I really thought he was finally going to say it, but he didn't. I knew that we should probably get to bed early since we had to be at the airport by five in the morning.

We watched a movie and when I started to fall asleep, he leaned forward to turn the light out. I tossed and turned for most of the night and knew that I'd be sorry the next day, but Jared slept like a baby.
Looking at the time on my phone, I saw that it was almost midnight. Turning to see him asleep on his back, I threw the covers off of me and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. Maybe the hot water would help me get to sleep.

I was about to turn off the water when I felt hands on my hips. I smiled to myself and pulled his arms around my waist. Laying my head back against his chest, I heard him say, "I couldn't sleep either."

"I really am loving the muscles!" I said with a laugh, but as soon as the words left my mouth, I could feel him flexing.

"You only love me for my body, I see how it is." I leaned forward to turn off the water. "Getting out already? I just got in!"

"We both know that this will end in sex. I don't know about you, sir, but I don't see a condom just laying around in here, do you? As much as I'd love to have your babies someday, I don't want that right now. So, you can stay in here pouting, possibly using your hand, or you can get out and have me."

He raised his eyebrows and took the towel out of my hand. "Good point." Walking into the bedroom, he pulled me down on the bed. "I'm glad we will be home soon. Thank you for coming to visit me." He was being so sweet and it tugged at my heart strings.

Pushing him onto his back, I climbed over him, straddling him. "You're welcome, but I should be thanking you." I locked my hands around his wrists. "You're right, it is just your body that I'm attracted to."

He laughed as he flipped me over and began tickling my sides. "You better watch yourself, don't forget that I'm stronger than you. Don't make me punish you with pleasure."
