~"It could be a spoonful of tea,
But one little spoon of your precious love,
Is good enough for me"~

Brian was drowning.

Drowning in his unbearable desire for Celeste. The more he felt of her skin underneath his fingertips the more he craved her. Even the smallest distance separating them seemed like oceans between them...Oceans, which Brian would gladly swim just to reach her if he had too. He was absolutely sure there never had been anything he had desired as much as Celeste and there never would be, it simply was impossible... A thought that would have perhaps scared him under normal circumstances, but all Brian could think about was the softness of her skin and the sounds she made at his touches... how lovely she had moaned when he had caressed breasts or how urgently she had sounded when he had pulled her closer to him.

There was no doubt in Brian's mind, that Celeste wanted him as much as he wanted her. It wasn't only how eagerly she responded, but as well the way how she responded to him. She had tugged on her clothes first, leaving him not even a chance to take them off...  Her dress fell in a blink of an eye and all Brian could do at first was stare at her bare body and was momentarily glad he hadn't known that she hadn't been wearing any underwear the whole evening... The throbbing in his pants was already bad enough with a naked and very willing Celeste at his hands, without the knowledge she had just wanted this to happen.

Brian knew he never was going to last long, especially not when he soon felt her hands on his trousers, gently squeezing. He groaned and pulled her hands away more forcefully than he had intended to, pinning them above her head and pushing her against the kitchen shelves. Celeste didn't seem to mind though, with a teasing look on her face she stared into his eyes nearly as if she was daring him to go on, to which Brian more than gladly obliged.

His clothes as well were gone soon and there was nothing left that separated him from the sweet sensation that was Celeste. The gasp that escaped her lips, when he trusted into her for first time nearly set him off. All this longing and build up desire until this moment had definitely left its traces on him and Brian had to focus on not giving into it too soon. Not only would it have been embarrassing, but he wanted Celeste to enjoy it as well and judging by the noises that left her mouth she certainly was. 

Brian pushed her on the counter and grabbed her calves to give him more control over the situation. Her hands held onto his back, as he pounded into her faster. Celeste shuddered underneath him and Brian felt that she was close as well. Very close. Her eyes were nearly begging him to finish and what other choice did he have than to yield to her pleas?

Brian had had sex with many women in his life, but never had he felt insecure about it after finishing.

Celeste was panting hard as was he and he was just waiting for her to catch her breath and either crush his heart or set him free. He couldn't live if this had just been a one time thing and if she would send him away, when he was so fond of her. He needed Celeste in his life, which meant he was now at her mercy and he didn't like one second of it. It usually was the other way around, but with her everything seemed to be the opposite and all he could do was hope that he was for her the exception as well.

Celeste's breathing slowed down as Brian's heart rate speed up. 

Her cheeks were still flustered, her lips slightly parted and her eyes were still closed. She seemed content and Brian felt proud at that at least. Celeste surely wouldn't throw him out if she liked the sex with him, he thought and immediately felt a bit more relieved. 

"Oh my goodness.... I-Brian...I- wow," he thought he heard her mumble which gave his ego another boost. Maybe he wasn't as much at Celeste's mercy as he thoughthe was, but instead they were equal. She was scared that he would push her away and he was scared that she would push him away and why? Celeste wanted a family, a partner she could rely on and Brian wanted the exact same in a way, he didn't want to be alone and with Celeste he felt at ease.... If not even more than that...

All these feelings he had for Celeste could only mean one thing.

"I-I love you."

Celeste eyes widened as did Brian's, who hadn't meant to voice it for her to hear. She bid her lip and suddenly the air between them was tense. They were still close to each other, but now it seemed awkward and Brian despite wanting nothing more than Celeste just thought about running off and never seeing her again.

"Do you really mean that?" she finally asked. Her tone as sceptical as her expression. "This is not just a horrible joke to you?"

"No..." Brian mumbled embarrassed. "I-I- Just forget about it.!" he added and stepped away from her to pick up his clothes. If he left now, he might stop himself from making even more a fool out of himself than he already did.

"Why?" Celeste asked as she slid down from the kitchen counter and held onto his arm, making Brian stop in his movement. Though he had no idea what she meant or how he was supposed to answer her question.  "Brian, if you really love me how could I ever forget about it? This is all a bit too much for me... Please can we talk about this?"

At the word 'this' Brian trembled.  He couldn't believe that she was referring to his honest feelings so casual and so insignificant...  "This?" he snarled. "Is that everything our relationship is to you? I thought you- well screw it." 

"Brian, no you've got it wrong." She exclaimed and her hold on him tightened. "Our relationship means a lot to me, that's why I want to be sure... I don't understand how you can honestly love me, I have David and I don't belong into your world... All I thought I could hope for was perhaps a friendship, nothing more though.... You-"

"My world is where you are, Celeste," he interrupted her.

"Brian-"

"Listen," Brian told her with a serious expression on his face as he looked at Celeste directly, who seemed very unwell all of sudden. "I need you in my life, even if I-I have to change everything for you, I would still want you. Please give me a chance and stay with me... I wouldn't even mind if you just used me, because you and David needed a place to stay as long as you would be with me..."

Celeste was silent for a long time or maybe Brian only thought she was. In his heart every second she didn't say anything felt like an eternity. He was about to give up and run off to Timbuktu to start over, when his ears heard Celeste's soft voice.

"I would never use you, therefore I love you far too much."

Within a week, Celeste and David had moved into his house and Brian was happier than he had been in a long time. His home finally felt like home.

It was exactly what he needed, in a time when everything else felt like he was balancing on a tightrope.

He might own the name the Rolling Stones by rights, but the band was no longer his and he knew the others would just wait for him to give them a final reason to sack him. 

Strangely he didn't mind, actually it didn't seem bad at all, at least not when he had a very talented woman at home with whom he actually agreed on. He hadn't exactly talked with Celeste yet, but working with her sounded like a good alternative. Even if she turned his offer down, he still had somebody to turn to, if he wrote something. Celeste definitely was his chance to start over.

No matter how he looked at it, she was what he needed... and David in a way too. Brian had never considered himself as a family man, but with them it felt so natural and right. They just fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle.

He was sure with Celeste by his side his future would be bright no matter what would happen.
