Big shout out to @ObsessedwithTivi . We spent hours tossing ideas around for this chapter the other day. Thanks for your help.     

"Why the hell did Luke have to schedule a meeting before the show today?" Tim grumbled as he and Adam tenderly walked into the venue. They knew they were probably late but they couldn't move any faster. They were both tired, and sore, and every muscle ached from overuse. And Tim's butt was on fire from his 'punishment' earlier. 

"Has anybody seen or heard from Tim or Adam today?" Luke asked the group that had gathered for the meeting. 

Austin laughed "I see them right now." Every head in the room turned towards the door to see the couple finally making it to the meeting. "Only five minutes late. Not too bad".

Rob was sitting closest to the door and could see the pair weren't happy about being there. "How you feeling this afternoon, Timmy?" Rob teased as he innocently popped him on the butt.

"Ahhh!" Tim yelped as he jumped away from Rob. "SON OF A BI...." He bit his lip when he saw his mom sitting in the room. 

Tim had jumped right into Adam. He grabbed Tim by the shoulders and whispered in his ear "Just breathe and relax. In and out, in and out. Deep breath and relax." Adam kissed him on the cheek before letting him go.

Everyone was staring, wondering what had just happened. "Uh, guys? Everything okay?" Luke asked, genuinely concerned. They both nodded. "Okay, then grab a seat and lets get started."

Tim sighed as he realized that the only seats left were hard chairs. Dena could see that Tim was in pain; she didn't know why but that didn't matter right now. She tapped Jenika on the leg and tilted her head towards the empty chairs. They both stood up and moved to the hard chairs leaving the soft love seat for Tim and Adam. 

"Take my seat, Tim." Dena said "I think you need the cushioning more than I do right now." She tried, unsuccessfully, to hide her laughter. "Do you need an extra pillow?" She giggled.

Tim shook his head and blushed as he gave the ladies a grateful look and sat down gingerly. He and Adam were both moving slowly but it took Tim several minutes to get comfortable. This did not go unnoticed by the rest of the group.

Luke got started by going over the rest of the tour schedule and where they had added promotional stops. Adam leaned his head on Tim's shoulder while he listened. Luke moved on to the next topic as he watched Adam's eyes drift closed. He continued going over the financials until he saw that Tim had nodded off too. He stopped speaking and just stared at the couple.

"Uh, Luke." Chance said. "You going to finish your sentence?" Luke shook his head and pointed at the sleeping lovers. Everyone laughed as they looked at Tim and Adam sound asleep.

Austin never turns down a chance to mess with his band mates. He spoke as if he were just throwing out ideas at a normal meeting "I don't know Chance. I think we should try robbing a bank." He tapped Tim's leg as he said "What do you think, Tim?"

Tim's head snapped up. "Huh? Yeah, Whatever y'all want to do is good with me." Austin laughed out loud while everyone else just snickered to themselves. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing, Tim." Luke smiled. "Thanks for your input." Luke pretended to start talking business again to see how long it would take Tim to fall back to sleep. Not even a full minute and Tim's eyes were closed again.

"Oooh, my turn." Chance said excitedly. "Rob, I have to disagree. The sky is definitely purple" Chance poked Adam in the arm "Don't you agree, Adam?"

Adam straightened up on the couch "Uh, sure. I totally agree." Nobody could hold in their laughter this time. They managed to wake Tim with all their noise. "Seriously, what's so funny?" Tim asked Adam. "I'm not sure." Adam replied.

Jenika quietly excused herself from the room while everyone laughed. She hated seeing her guys being the butt of the jokes. She ran out of the venue and down the block as fast as she could. She was back within ten minutes and Luke had just managed to get the guys settled down and refocused.

Jenika slipped back into the room with four large coffees in her hands. She set two on the table and then knelt down in front of the love seat. Handing one each to Tim and Adam she said "Sit up straight, drink the coffee, and pay attention." They both nodded as she returned to her seat.

Chance reached out for one of the cups of coffee. Jenika smacked his hand away. "Those are for Adam and Tim." She scolded him.

"But they already have one" he whined.

Jenika laughed, "Do you really think one is going to be enough?" Chance nodded his head in agreement. 

"Can we get back to business now, please?" Luke implored. He picked up where he had left off previously. Tim and Adam managed to stay awake and pay attention the whole time. When Luke was finished he excused himself so the guys could have their private meeting like usual. Jenika and Dena left with Luke allowing the guys total privacy.

Four sets of eyes were on Tim when he winced and groaned as he leaned forward to put down his empty cup and pick up the full one. Adam hid his smile with  his coffee cup.

"Okay, I know we normally talk business at this time but I think we are all interested in something else right now." Austin stated as he looked to Tim and Adam.

Adam tried to play innocent "I don't know what you're talking about."

Austin opened his mouth to speak but Rob interrupted, "Let me please." Austin nodded. "Okay" Rob started "You were late for the meeting, which has never happened before. Neither of you can walk faster than a snail. It took Tim five minutes to sit after I barely touched him. And don't think we didn't notice those hickeys on your necks." Rob looked to the other guys "Did I miss anything?"

"And they both fell asleep in the middle of the meeting." Chance added "Did you guys get any sleep last night?"

"Of course we did." Tim said as he yawned. 

Chance sighed "Guys, we don't need all the dirty details but we're like brothers here and we tell each other a lot. This isn't the first night you've spent together but this is first time I've questioned your ability to make it through a show after. What the hell happened?"

"You know we were making up for lost time." Adam said as he smiled at Tim.

"And making up for me being an idiot." Tim smiled back at Adam.

"So how much sleep did you actually get?" Chance asked, seriously concerned about them being too tired to put on a good show.

Adam and Tim whispered back and forth before coming to a conclusion. "Uh, four hours I think."

Austin's eyes grew large, "So you were in that room for over twenty hours and only managed to sleep for four of them? Holy Shit!" 

Adam chuckled at Austin "We were busy." 

"Well, that explains why you can't walk." Rob mumbled. Adam burst out laughing and Tim's face went crimson.

"Okay, one last question." Chance said. "What is with the hickey's? You know we can't have any visible marks."

Tim sighed "Adam's was an accident. I got a little carried away."

Adam smirked "And Tim's was in retaliation for mine. Completely intentional." He leaned over and kissed the mark on Tim's neck. 

"Austin, we figured we could ask Olena to cover them with make-up." Tim said quietly

"Let's hope so." Austin rolled his eyes. "I'll go ask her." Austin and Rob both left the room.

Adam stood up from the couch with ease. Tim was having a more difficult time. Any shift of his body weight sent a new wave of pain across his butt. "Shit! It's going to be a long evening."

Adam had knelt down in front of Tim and forgotten that Chance was still in the room. "I'm sorry, baby!" Adam said as he leaned in to kiss Tim.

"It's okay." Tim replied "I enjoyed every second. Just maybe not so hard next time."

Adam giggled "Next time?" He asked. "Do you plan to misbehave again?"

Tim raised an eyebrow at Adam, "I might, if you keep making the punishment so enjoyable."

"Did y'all forget I was over here?" Chance asked. He wasn't sure he wanted to hear anymore.

"Oh shit! Yes!" Tim exclaimed as his face turned red again. 

Adam was chuckling at Tim, "You're so cute when you're embarrassed." He turned to look over his shoulder "Chance, can you help me pull him off the couch?" They managed to pull Tim off the couch without hurting his butt too bad. 

Tim and Adam walked very slowly to find their dressing rooms. Chance shook his head as he watched them. Tonight's show was going to be interesting.
