Under the Influence

Chapter 1

The gig finished and she walked backstage. Her heart was beating fast and she felt so alive. She had been performing onstage since she was 18 and nothing in life gave her a better feeling than singing and playing guitar for an audience. She walked into the dressing room followed by her band. She grabbed a beer and plopped down on the couch.

"Great show tonight, Val" her drummer Todd said.

"Yeah, you guys played great."

She looked around at the 3 guys.

They all grabbed a beer and sat and drank. They were in the middle of a small tour as a support band. People came and went to the dressing room to say hi. Valerie scanned the room until she found what she was looking for. A cute guy to provide some fun for the night.

"Excuse me gentlemen. I see my next victim." She stood as the guys laughed and cheered her on.

"Go easy on him, Val" her guitarist John laughed.

"Don't break his heart like the last one!" called her bassist Mike.

"You fellas could learn a thing or two from me." She walked over to the guy she had zeroed in on. She flashed a smile when he looked her way.

"Hi, I'm Val, you up for some fun tonight?"

"Hi, sure I am." He smiled.

She handed him a beer then lead him to a separate room. She was not shy about sleeping with guys. She never understood the double standard. If a guy slept with a girl then he was applauded, but if a girl went after a man and got what she wanted then she was a slut. She didn't care if people called her a slut, she was a sexual being and needed physical contact just like any man. She just made sure to follow two rules: To always use protection and to stay clear of married men. She knew a woman scorned could be crazy and wanted no drama. She sat on a small leather couch with the man.

"You sing really good."

"Thanks" she smiled. "I love what I do."

"How long have you been doing it?"

"About 10 years, since I was 18."

"That's great. I would love to quit my job and do something I love, but my parents would kill me."

"You have to please yourself in life."

"Yeah, but they paid for my college, so I feel I owe it to them."

"Fair enough." She laid her hand on his thigh and looked into his eyes.

"You ready for some fun?"

"Oh yeah."

She leaned in and kissed him, pushing her tongue into his mouth. Without hesitation she climbed into his lap and pulled his T-shirt off. She ran her hand down his bare chest. She unbuttoned his jeans and pushed her hand inside. She liked what she found. He moaned as she squeezed gently. She looked at him. "Are you gonna fuck me good?"

"Yeah."

She stood up and quickly undressed. She tossed him a condom and he stood up. He pushed his pants and underwear down and put on the condom. He sat down and she climbed into his lap and rode him until they both came. She kissed him one last time then climbed off and grabbed her clothes. He looked at her with a smile on his face.

"You sure know how to ride a guy." he said as he pulled his pants up.

"Yeah" she glanced at him then put her clothes on. She looked at him.

"Thanks for the ride, it was fun."

"Anytime." he smirked.

She walked back into the dressing room where the guys were still sat around drinking.

"How was it?" Todd raised his eyebrow.

"Good" she smiled. She didn't mind talking about sex with the guys, they were like family to her. She had known all of them since she was 18. They were all about 15 years older than her and looked out for her. She could take care of herself, but she knew if she ever needed them, they would be there.

"Aren't you guys tired of jacking off? Go find some women!"

They all chuckled, but stayed where they were.

"Easy for you to say Val, you're a young hot girl. We are old, not so hot men."

She rolled her eyes. "You guys do alright for old men."

They all laughed as she opened a bottle of Jack Daniels. They continued drinking until 3 in the morning then climbed onto their tour bus and slept as it made its way to the next city they were playing. Val loved life on the road and always looked forward to tours. No matter how small.
