David quickly tucked himself back into his pants, doing up his zipper as Lexi wiggled her panties back on.

"You're a little hellion, baby," he growled seductively.

"I show my love any way possible," Lexi cooed.

Their cars pulled up on the tarmac, a large and shiny jet waiting for them in the dewy morning air. The doors opened and a group of uniformed staff welcomed them aboard, taking their belongings and ushering them into the cabin.

The boys along with Lexi, Matt and Obie were greeted by the flight attendant for Jovi Air, Vicky. With a warm smile that matched her welcoming demeanor, she hugged each of them as they stepped onto the aircraft.

"My boys!"

"Vicky!" The guys said in unison.

"And Lexi...wonderful to see you again," she said to the tall blonde.

"You too, V," Lexi replied.

They all loaded their carry-ons into the overhead bins and settled in their favorite spots. The interior of Jovi Air was spacious with ample room to spread out, allowing for private conversations if desired.

"Jon, this is Captain Howard. We'll be taking off for Seattle in approximately five minutes. Once at cruising altitude, lunch service will commence and you'll be free to move around the cabin. Thank you and have a great flight, guys!"

As the engines roared to life, the plane taxied down the runway before quickly picking up speed. The familiar sensation of ascent filled the cabin, and soon they were airborne. David, seated near the window, gazed out as the cityscape transformed into miniature buildings below.

He unfolded the newspaper in front of him and tried to lose himself in the news. They climbed higher and higher into the clouds, the smooth ride lulling him into a comfortable state of relaxation.

Once reaching altitude, the plane leveled out and Vicky moved about the cabin for the drinks service. David accepted a Jack and Coke while Lexi opted for red wine. Here and there, the boys chatted about whatever until Tico brought up the sore and obvious subject.

"So where exactly is Richie? If you're getting a fill-in, there's something you're not telling us," he said accusingly.

"Okay...Okay...Richie's gone to be with his parents. Adam's in bad health and doesn't have long. So he'll be gone for a while. Thirteen shows," Jon replied.

"You couldn't have just said when I asked?" David snipped and Lexi bumped his leg under the table.

"Nothing personal, Lema," Jon said with a smile.

David snorted derisively. "Could've fooled me."

"So this Phil X...is he any good?" Hugh asked in an attempt to diffuse the tension.

"Yeah, he's pretty good. He's gonna fill in for Richie while he's away," Jon said with a shrug. "I think you'll be fine with him." He picked up his phone and held it out to show the guys.

A scruffy rocker stood in a home studio, guitar strapped around his shoulder and long brown hair framing his face. He wore a black t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing tattoos on his right arm. A grin spread across his face as he looked at the camera, his bright eyes sparkling with intensity.

"Hey man, it's Phil X...GOOD MORNIN'...it's not morning..." Followed by random nonsense and him plucking the strings of his Gibson.

"He's been playing since the 80s and has a local band in LA," Jon said, "Phil X and the Drills. They'll be opening for us in Seattle and Phil will then join us on stage. The ladies will love him. Thirteen shows...just thirteen. Then Richie will be back...."

"...in your bed," David muttered.

Jon's head snapped to his keyboardist and lips tightened. "And so what if he is? You've got Lexi in your bed. Richie can make up his own mind without my doing."

"Wasn't that the plan all along?" David asked curiously but Lexi shot him a look.

"That's enough, David. We don't need to talk about this right now," she said firmly.

David bit his lip and nodded, realizing he'd crossed a line. He turned back to the window, watching the clouds pass below. He could feel the weight of their situation on his shoulders and pressing in on his chest. Anxiety. The stress. The heartache.

The drinks flowed freely and the conversations grew louder and more animated. Laughter echoed throughout the cabin as everyone loosened up and enjoyed their travel time.

Vicky walked up the aisle, serving the guys a light salad. "And honey," she said to Lexi, "that vinaigrette recipe...I'm in love!" She laughed and Lexi joined in, the tension broken for the moment.

"It's to die for," Lexi replied and accepted a proffered glass of ice water. "You know, David, this whole 'relationship' charade was supposed to be temporary, just to maintain our cover," Lexi began tentatively, watching Vicky's retreating back. "But lately, I've been thinking... What if we tried to make it real?"

David raised an eyebrow, surprised by Lexi's suggestion. "Really? You'd be up for that? I mean, it's not like we don't get along, but it's a big step, especially considering why we got into this in the first place."

"I know it's unconventional, and maybe it sounds crazy," Lexi admitted, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "But think about it, David. We've been through so much together already, and there's something... comfortable about being with you. Maybe there's more to it than just a cover."

David considered her words, his mind racing with the implications of what she was proposing. "I won't deny that I've enjoyed our time together, Lexi. And I can't deny that there's a certain physical chemistry between us," he conceded, a small smile tugging at his lips. "But wouldn't we both be rebounds in this case? What about the risks?"

Lexi reached across the small table, her hand finding David's and giving it a reassuring squeeze. "What risk? You're divorced from April and Richie's...well...you know...so it's not cheating or an affair," she reminded him, her gaze unwavering. "And now...Ondrea's gone." She paused for a moment to swallow. "Maybe it's time we took a risk on something real, something that could make us both genuinely happy. I never thought I'd say that to a man ever again."

David's heart skipped a beat as he met Lexi's gaze, seeing the sincerity and determination reflected in her eyes. At that moment, he knew that she was right. They had weathered storms together, and perhaps this unexpected twist of fate was just the beginning of a new chapter for them both.

A mix of emotions washed over David's face as he processed Lexi's words. He appreciated her honesty and the genuine connection they had developed, but the idea of turning their fake relationship into something real was both thrilling and daunting.

"I never thought I'd find myself in a situation like this," David admitted with a chuckle, trying to ease the tension. "You're right. We've been through a lot, and there's something special between us."

"I still hear a but?"

"It's just...I'm still concerned if we are ready for this? It's one hell of a transition from pretending to be a couple to actually being one."

Lexi smiled warmly, her thumb gently tracing circles on the back of David's hand. "We'll figure it out together. It's not like there's a rulebook for these things, right? We can take it slow, see where it goes. If it doesn't work out, at least we gave it a shot. But if it does...."

Lexi's voice trailed off, leaving the unspoken possibilities hanging in the air between them. David felt a surge of warmth and affection for her, realizing that he was more than willing to take the risk if it meant the chance for something real and meaningful with her.

"Yeah," David agreed, a sense of excitement building within him. "Let's give it a shot. Who knows? This might just be the best decision we've ever made."

Lexi's smile widened, her eyes shining with newfound hope. "I thought you'd say that," she said, her voice full of confidence. "I know it won't be easy, but it's going to be worth it. I promise." She squeezed his hand before letting go.

The two fell into a relaxed silence as they ate and bantered with the rest. Vicky cleaned up once they were all finished and Lexi slid into the seat next to David, the two curled up as much as the seats allowed.

"So, Lema," Hugh said from across the aisle. "You two look cozy over there."

"Too cozy," Jon added and sipped his drink with a sly grin. "What would Richie say?"

"I guess if he wanted a say in the matter, he shouldn't have slept with you," David threw back to Jon. "What I wouldn't give to knock my fist into those perfect fucking teeth."

Lexi shushed him with a quick glare, but he could see the hint of a smile playing on her lips. She leaned in closer to him, her hand brushing against his arm. The warmth of Lexi's touch sent a shiver down David's spine, and he leaned in closer to her, feeling a surge of affection.

As they sat there, tangled up together, he felt a sense of contentment that had been missing for so long. He knew that the road ahead would not be easy, but he was willing to take that risk with Lexi by his side.

"We should probably start discussing OUR next step," she whispered, her eyes glinting with mischief and her tone enunciating 'our' for Jon's benefit. "What do you think? We can take this into somewhere private."

David couldn't help but chuckle at Lexi's audacity, but she simply smiled at him. "Mmm...I think a discussion would be helpful."

"Come on," she said, standing up and pulling David to his feet. "Let's go somewhere where we can talk...without interruption."

Lexi rose from her seat, tugging on his hand to follow her to the separate lounge area. She hopped playfully onto the sofa and grinned as David slid the divider shut.

"Now...Ms Quaas, where'd that discussion leave off?"

Lexi's grin widened as she leaned back against the cushions, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, I was thinking that maybe we should start by admitting how we feel. First steps are the most important..." Her devious smile widened as she laid back, spreading her knees apart.

David's cock stirred to life at the sight, but he managed to keep his voice steady. "Haven't we?"

Lexi's eyes met his, her expression serious. "Not...officially..." She reached down and slowly slid her panties off, slinging them at David's face.

He caught them and sniffed deeply. The scent of her arousal filled his nostrils, and he felt his blood boil with desire. He stroked himself through his jeans, feeling the hardness of his erection.

"Lexi," he breathed, his voice thick with desire. "My Lexi...."

Lexi sat up, her eyes dark and sultry. "Your Lexi," she agreed. "I have always thought you were handsome and definitely a sweetheart. But always with the wrong people."

"Couldn't agree more," David said with a wink and tucked her panties into his back pocket. "Now, let's discuss the next step."

Lexi grinned, her eyes darting down to his crotch. "I think I know what you have in mind."

David kneeled on the couch, stroking his cock as she watched and licked her lips. "Obviously it's asking you to be mine." He eyed her pussy and leaned down to trail the tip of his tongue up her slit. "To be mine and only mine."

Lexi moaned, her hips shifting closer. "Yes," she breathed. "Only yours." She guided his head towards her center and, with the slightest pressure, his tongue slipped between her folds and found the taut bud. She gasped as he began to explore her with his mouth, his skilled tongue caressing her clitoris and sending shockwaves of pleasure through her body.

David continued to tease her, his tongue moving slowly but deliberately. He moved his hands under her thighs, holding her in place as he delved deeper. Lexi's moans grew louder, her hips bucking against his face.

"David," she gasped, her voice trembling with pleasure. "Oh, David..."

David lifted his head, his breath ragged and his eyes intense. "Lexi," he said, low and gravelly. "I want you. I need you. You are mine and only mine." He suckled on her clit, damn near causing her to come off the couch. "Do you understand?"

Lexi's body shuddered with pleasure. "Yes," she breathed. "Only yours."

David smiled and began to move his fingers faster, his thumb rubbing circles on her clit. He felt her walls tighten around his fingers as she approached her climax, and he increased the pressure.

"David!" Lexi cried out, her voice strained with pleasure. "Fuck, I'm yours!"

David kept up the pace, feeling her release around him. She writhed on the couch, her hips bucking against his hand. He stilled that hand and Lexi whimpered. He always did have a thing for edging and smiled wickedly at her.

"You're not done yet," he said, his voice low and commanding. "I want more."

She grinned up at him. "But...but I can't..." Lexi whimpered, her body still reeling.

David smirked, his fingers still buried inside her. "You can and you will," he said firmly. "Don't fight me, Lexi. You know you want this as much as I do."

Lexi let out a shaky breath, her eyes glazed over with pleasure. "Yes," she whispered. "I do."

David pulled his fingers out and reached for the zipper of his jeans. He tugged it down, freeing his aching cock. Lexi watched with anticipation as he wrapped a hand around himself and began to stroke. Her mouth watered as she imagined it inside her, stretching her walls and filling her with pleasure.

"Take me," she pleaded, her voice hoarse with desire. "I need you."

David looked at her, his eyes dark with lust. "You have me," he said. He moved closer to her, his hips pressing against hers. He guided himself to her entrance, the tip of his cock teasing her opening. With one smooth thrust, he buried himself inside her, and they both groaned in unison.

Lexi felt every inch of him, his length filling her completely. She shifted her hips, lifting them off the leather beneath her and feeling him slide deeper. He let out a low groan, his hands gripping her hips tightly. He began to move, his thrusts deep and deliberate. Lexi matched his pace, her moans growing louder with each movement.

David's movements grew more urgent, his body slamming into hers. His cock was hard and throbbing, desperate to release itself inside her. Lexi felt her own orgasm building, her body trembling with pleasure. She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer.

"I'm close," she gasped, her voice ragged with desire. "So close."

David grunted in response, his own body beginning to tense. "Me too," he breathed. "Come with me, Lexi."

Lexi threw her head back, her eyes screwed tight. "Yes," she screamed. "Yes, yes, yes!"

Her body arched off the couch, her muscles clenching around David's cock. He thrust one final time, his own release shooting deep inside her. "Fuuck," David moaned. "Lexi, you're incredible."

Lexi panted, her body still tingling with pleasure. "You too," she whispered, her voice husky with satisfaction. "You're incredible." She leaned in to kiss him, their lips meeting in a passionate embrace.

"Hey if you kids are done, we'll be landing soon!" Tico called through the door.

"Thanks, Teek!" David yelled back and smirked at Lexi. "So was that discussion clear for you?"

Lexi nodded, a wicked grin on her face. "Crystal," she said, her eyes glinting with mischief. "And I can't wait to put it into motion." She grabbed his hand and pulled him off the couch, their laughter echoing throughout the cabin. "He needs cleaning up though...allow me."

She crouched in front of David, taking his softening cock in her hand and licked it like an ice cream cone. Base to tip, swirling the head and licking up cum and pussy juice from him. She looked up at him, a wicked grin on her face.

"Mmm, you taste so good," she purred. "I want more."

David could only nod, his eyes wide with surprise. Lexi took him in her mouth, sucking gently and teasing him with her tongue. She moved up and down, taking him deeper with each movement. He quickly hardened but didn't last long and spilled more cum into her waiting mouth.

"Damn, woman," he growled. "Catch me by surprise like that."

Lexi laughed, her cheeks flushed with pleasure. "I think I've got you figured out," she said, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. "But there's always more to learn." She stood up, her body glistening with sweat. "Now, let's go get ready for landing."

David stood with his jeans still around his ankles, watching her receding back. "You're something else, Lexi," he said, shaking his head in amazement. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

Lexi smiled back at him, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Oh, I think you know," she said, winking at him before disappearing into the bathroom.

He pulled up his jeans and tucked himself back in. Rejoining the boys, they gave him knowing looks. "Well, that was an interesting discussion," Tico said, grinning at David. "And hopefully it will be helpful for you in the future."

David just nodded, his mind still reeling with everything that had happened. Lexi was full of surprises, but he knew that she would always be there for him. He couldn't wait to see what other secrets she had in store for him.

"You just can't keep it in your pants, can ya, Lema?" Hugh chuckled and drained his glass.

David rolled his eyes, taking a sip of his fresh drink. "You know perfectly well that I can't," he said, setting his glass down on the table. "It's a curse, really, when it's this perfect."

*~*~*

"Fuck, my hands hurt," Dawn complained, setting down her sewing needle and stretched out her hands. "If I have to sew another crotch back together, I'm gonna scream."

Lexi laughed from where she was ironing Dave's shirt. "We could always go check out the guys. See how soundcheck's going with the new guy."

Dawn looked up from her sewing, a mischievous grin on her face. "Ooh, good idea. I could use a break." The two ladies walked through the backstage area, greeting Obie and Matt along the way. They slipped through the stage door and could hear Jon bitching...again.

"He's such a diva," Dawn muttered under her breath. "I still don't understand why the guys never put their foot down.

"The money's too good," Lexi shrugged. "And they're all too scared of Jon's temper."

They continued to listen, their curiosity piqued by the sound of raised voices. "I'm not playing that song," Jon was yelling. "It's garbage. It doesn't fit with the direction we're going in."

"But Jon, the band loves it," Tico protested. "It would really add some edge to the set."

"No," Jon said firmly. "It's not going to happen."

Lexi and Dawn exchanged a glance, a mischievous gleam in their eyes. They knew they were in for a good show and sat in the front row eagerly awaiting Jon's meltdown. "You know, I think he might actually be right," Dawn whispered to Lexi. "The song isn't that great."

"Yeah, but he's such a drama queen about it. It's so fun to watch." Lexi grinned, her eyes fixed on the stage.

Phil X stood on the same side as David, the two discussing amongst themselves in whispers. He was very handsome and physically more her type with the edgy rockstar look. But something about the way he and David interacted, that could be very dangerous...and lots of fun.

Suddenly, Jon's voice boomed out over the speakers, sending shivers down everyone's spines and pulling Lexi from her thoughts. "And that's final!" he shouted, slamming his fist on the microphone. "No more discussion about it. It's done."

His eyes met hers. Phil's dark pupils dilated to the point his eyes looked black. Even from the stage, he was trailing a white hot gaze down her body.

She uncrossed her legs and stretched them out, giving him more to adore. She knew David would see. She wanted him to see. How delicious to have two rockstars deep inside her body.

As Jon continued his tirade, Lexi felt Phil's gaze linger on her, sending a rush of heat through her veins. She shifted in her seat, feeling a tingle between her legs. She wasn't sure what Phil was thinking, but she knew he wanted her. And she wasn't opposed to the idea.

Lexi looked at David, their eyes meeting for a brief moment. He smirked at her and readjusted his crotch. Obviously he thought this was just for him. She wanted to see him with another man again. A threesome where she was in the middle. Long rocker hair and chest hair, enough to drive her insane with pleasure.

Phil's eyes never left her, as he continued to stare with a mixture of lust and hunger. She could feel his desire radiating across the room, and it made her pulse quicken. She leaned closer to Dawn, whispering in her ear, "That Phil is fine as hell."

"David's probably thinking the same thing," Dawn giggled.

Lexi couldn't help but smile at the thought of them together. She imagined how she would like them to dominate her, taking turns between her legs and ravishing her body. The thought sent a surge of pleasure through her, and she shifted in her seat, feeling the need growing inside her.

She found herself lost in her fantasies. The two men between her legs, using her like a whore. That's what she wanted to be for them. To be used, fucked and find her way back into David's arms.

The sounds of Jon's voice finally snapped her back to reality. "Alright, that's it for today," he announced, turning off the microphone.

"I'll meet you back in wardrobe," Lexi said with a grin. "I need to talk to DB."

She left the stage, feeling the sway of her hips as she walked. She could feel the eyes of both Phil and David on her, and she relished in the attention. She rushed to David's dressing room and shut the door, sitting on the leather sofa and arranging herself into the sexiest pose she could muster.

Males voices were muffled as they came closer. The door opened and David stopped short, a smirk gracing his lips. "Well, hello there, Ms Quaas."

"Mmm, hello, Mr Bryan," Lexi cooed.

She felt a familiar tingle between her legs as David approached her, his eyes roaming over her body hungrily. "You look delicious," he said, running a hand up her thigh. "To what do I owe this visit?"

Lexi leaned closer to him, her lips brushing against his. "I wanted to talk to you about Phil," she whispered, her eyes never leaving his.

David's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly recovered. "Oh? What about him?"

Lexi continued, her eyes never leaving his. "I think we should explore our options with him. He's very talented, and I think he has a lot to offer...both of us."

"And how's that?" David asked, leaning over her and his hands trailing up her inner thigh.

"I think he might be interested in more than just the music." Lexi let out a soft moan as his fingers teased her, feeling the heat building inside her. "I think he wants me," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "And I think you'd enjoy sharing me with him."

"Sounds like Phil's got good taste," David remarked suggestively. He stared at her for a moment, his eyes intense. Then he let out a slow, wicked grin. "But...I do think you're right," he said, his hands sliding up her torso and cupping her breasts. "I also think the three of us could have a lot of fun together."

"Yes, I think we could," she agreed, feeling the need building inside her. "I think you want him just as much."

"You're right," he breathed, his hand sliding up her thigh. David's eyes darkened as he heard her words, and he leaned in closer, his lips brushing against hers.

Lexi let out a gasp as she felt David's fingers press against her, the sensation sending shockwaves through her. She reached down, grasping his hand and guiding it between her legs.

"Then let's do something about it," she whispered, her eyes locked on his.

David's eyes widened as he felt the warm wetness of Lexi's arousal seeping through her panties, and he wasted no time in pushing two fingers inside her. She let out a loud moan, her back arching off the leather sofa. "Ohhh, yes," she gasped, her hand gripping David's tightly. "Give it to me, baby."

David pumped his fingers in and out of her, feeling her wetness coating them. He leaned over her, his lips grazing her earlobe. "Damn...you're wet, baby," he breathed. "What brought this on?"

"My imagination," she purred. "About...the three of us...together."

"Tell me more," he demanded. "What do you want us to do to you?"

"I want you to use me," she moaned, her voice low and throaty. "I want to be your dirty little slut." Lexi let out a whimper, her hips moving against David's hand.

David groaned as he heard her words, and he continued his assault on her. "You like that, don't you?" he asked. "Speak, my sweet little whore."

His fingers scissored inside of her, adding another finger to the mix. She let out a gasp, her body tensing with pleasure. "Yes, just like that," she moaned, her head rolling back against the sofa.

He pulled his dripping fingers from her pussy and rubbed her clit in small, sweet circles. "You're so responsive," he murmured, his lips brushing against hers. "And so tight."

"Oh fuck, DB...like...like that...I want your cocks inside me...fuck me til I...I...mmm." Her words died into a high pitched moan.

"Til you what, baby?"

"Til you spill inside me. Then...I...shit...I want you to fuck me. Make him watch," Lexi panted, humping David's fingers. Her body was trembling as he worked her towards the peak. Fingers sliding in and out of her pussy, curling into her bundle of nerves...slide out and ravish her clit.

"You gonna come for me, aren't you, baby?"

She let out a loud moan, her hips bucking against his hand. "Yes, David," she gasped. "I'm so close...just...keep going."

"Come for me, my dirty fucking whore," David demanded, a forced calm in his voice. "I want you to come all over my fingers." He kept up the pace, his fingers strumming her clit with expert precision.

Lexi's body spasmed as she reached her climax, her juices gushing out around David's fingers. He slapped her pussy and she squealed in pleasure. Two fingers back in and her toes curled. She let out a loud moan, her back arching off the leather sofa.

David continued to rub her clit with his thumb, prolonging her orgasm until she finally slumped back against the sofa, her chest heaving.

"Damn...," she panted, her eyes still closed, "I fucking needed that."

"Now that that's out of the way," David chuckled, pulling his dripping fingers from her pussy and licking them clean. "Let's do something about Phil."

"Leave it to me, baby," she simpered, standing and running her hands up David's chest. She kissed his neck, her breath hot against his skin. "I'll take care of him," she whispered, her lips trailing up to his ear. "And then we'll see what happens."

David grinned, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "I like the sound of that," he said, his hand sliding down her body and gripping her ass. "I can't wait to see what you've got planned."
