Chapter 36 Rock stars Don’t Blush

Nico

"Well, to be more accurate, I guess I'm bi with more of a preference for men."Tony glanced around the room to gauge our reactions. I didn't know about everyone else, but I was surprised as hell.

Before anyone could say anything, Allie walked over to him and hugged him, and he held her close for a moment as they whispered quietly to each other. Based on the lack of surprise on her face I wondered if she knew already, or at least suspected.

Without saying a word, Matt, Josh, and I converged on their huddle. I reached Tony a split second before the others and clapped him on the shoulder. He turned toward me, looking nervous as hell. I hated that he was afraid of our reactions.

I grabbed him and pulled him into a bear hug. "I'm not sure why you hid this from us, but I'm glad you've told us now," I said to him softly before letting him go. I stepped back, and Matt and Josh both hugged him as well. Allie stepped over to me and wrapped her arm around my waist, giving me a squeeze. I smiled down at her, not surprised in the least to see tears in her eyes. My girl had such a soft heart.

"So, are you guys OK with the public finding out?" Tony asked hesitantly.

"Why the hell wouldn't we be?" I asked. "It's your life, so how much of it you share with the general public is up to you. Don't feel that you have to sacrifice your privacy to take the heat off of us though. If you do this, you do it for yourself."

That earned me a hug from Allie. "Exactly!" she said with a smile, before reaching up to kiss my cheek.

Tony smiled at her, and then Josh piped up. "Hey, wait just a good goddamned minute here. Do you mean to tell me that all these years of us going out to clubs together, you couldn't have just stepped aside and let me have the women while you found a guy instead?That's just fucking greedy, bro," he groused good-naturedly.

Tony flipped him off with a smirk, and Josh laughed and blew him a kiss.

"Are you going to do an official coming out statement, or what?" Matt asked, reaching into the refrigerator, and grabbing a few bottles of beer along with the pitcher of iced tea that Allie kept in there. We all helped ourselves, and I walked over to the pantry and pulled out some snacks for us to munch on. It was still a little early tomake dinner.

We settled in around the table, as Tony explained that he was going to take Allie's advice and just let it happen naturally rather than making a formal statement. That confirmed my suspicion that Allie had known.

"What do you mean, naturally?" Matt asked.

"Well, after I told my mom about it last week - she was totally cool with it, by the way - she bought me a shirt with the bi flag on it. I figure I'll wear it out in public, and when I'm asked about it, I'll just confirm that I am, and then move on."

"The bi flag? So, you wouldn't wear a rainbow flag? Sorry, I don't mean to be offensive, I just don't know how all of this works," Josh said with a small shrug.

Tony just smiled. "It's all good, man. I would happily rock a rainbow Pride flag and I'm sure I will at some point, but the bi flag is specific to my sexual orientation. It has two larger stripes, one pink and one blue, and a thinner purple stripe in the middle."

Josh nodded, then tapped on his phone for a few seconds. "Whoa, I didn't realize there were so many different flags and symbols." He muttered to himself as he scrolled through whatever website he was looking at. "Aromantic, demisexual...I feel really ignorant about this. I'm not even sure what some of this terminology means."He continued reading on his phone, occasionally tapping and swiping on the screen as he flipped through various sites.

Allie reached over and squeezed Tony's hand. "I'm glad your mother responded so well," she said with a wide smile.

Tony glanced at her and nodded. "I am too, doll. I figured she would be OK with it, but she was actually really great." He laughed and continued, "Of course, it only took her all of about three minutes before she asked if I had a boyfriend for her to meet."

"So, do you?" Matt asked, raising a brow.

Tony looked awkward for just a moment, glancing down at the table before looking at Matt again. "Uh, no, not yet anyway. There's a guy I'm interested in, but he's not out yet. Actually, he's always identified as straight, so this is new for him. I'm not sure if anything will come of it, but either way, I'm through hiding my true self."

I saw Allie's eyes gleaming as she perked up at the news. "What's he like?Can we meet him?Is he nice?Is he hot?I'll bet he's hot." I tried not to roll my eyes as she rattled off her questions without giving Tony a chance to answer.

He blushed. He actually fucking blushed, so of course, I had to call him out on that shit. He scowled at me and flipped me off, at the same time as Allie reached over and smacked my shoulder.

"Quit teasing him, Nico," she scolded me.

I put my hands up defensively. "Hey, I was just pointing out that a fucking rockstar should not have the ability to blush!"

The love of my life just rolled her eyes at me. "Oh really?Hmmm, maybe I'll test that theory later," she said with an arch of her brow. Damn, I loved when she did that.

She flicked a glance at Tony and told him "Don't think I didn't notice that you didn't answer any of my questions."

Tony chuckled. "He's really nice and very funny. Yes, he's very hot, and no, I'm not ready for you to know who he is yet. Actually, I'm ready, but he isn't, so..."

Allie sat back with a huff before smiling at me. "Fine, but you make sure he's good enough for you, Tony."

He just smiled and told her he was sure she would love the guy.

Matt reached for the last of the cookies that Allie had made the other day - the greedy bastard - and asked Tony when and where he planned to make his low-key statement.

"I figure I'll go shopping at The Grove wearing my new shirt in the next day or two. There are always paparazzi and fans taking pictures there, so that should do it."

"Want some company?" Josh asked.

Tony looked at Josh for a few seconds before smiling. "If you want to come along for the experience, you're more than welcome to."

Josh nodded, and Matt piped up. "Count me in, too."

I looked at Allie, and I knew she wanted to go too, but I didn't feel comfortable with her out in a mob of people right now. She met my eyes, and I knew she understood what I was thinking. She gave a sad smile and nodded slightly.

"I'm not sure it would be a good idea for Allie and me to be there right now, but we will be supporting you all the way."

Tony reached over and squeezed her hand before smiling at me. "I know, and I agree that you two shouldn't be in the middle of all that shit right now."

Josh twirled his phone around so we could all see the screen. "I think we all need T-shirts too. There's a bunch of different shirts with 'Love is Love' and 'Proud to be an ally' themes on them."

Ten minutes later, he had ordered shirts for each of us, which would be rush-delivered to us tomorrow. Tony decided they would go on his "official outing" - pun intended - on Friday morning, before we did our pre-album kickoff concert at The Live Wire that evening.

Later that night, after we got Gracie bathed and in bed, Allie and I settled in on the sofa in the media room. I turned on a random movie just for some background noise and I pulled her close to me. After the events of the afternoon, I needed to have her in my arms. I tipped her face up and dropped a gentle kiss on her lips, breathing in the familiar vanilla and honeysuckle scent that always surrounded her.

"How are the scratches feeling?" I asked softly, trying to tamp down the rage I felt when I thought about that crazy bitch hurting her like that.

"My arm is a little tender if I bump it against something, but otherwise it's fine," she assured me, giving me a soft kiss on my neck. I shivered as goosebumps erupted on my skin. She shifted and moved over me until she was straddling my lap, kissing her way up and down my neck. Her hands slid down over my pecs to my abdomen, tracing the muscles there with her fingertips before slipping them under my shirt. She kept her touches light, feathering across my skin like the faintest whisper of sensation. I shivered again, and she chuckled lightly.

"I love your body," she whispered against my lips, before trailing soft kisses along my jawline. I gripped her hips tighter before sliding my hands around to cup her ass. I gave her a squeeze and pulled her even tighter against me, using my grip on her to grind her against my erection. We both moaned at the contact, and she pulled back, grasping my hands and placing them at my sides.

"It's my turn to play with you, honey," she told me with a sly smile. My eyebrows shot up in surprise as she grabbed the remote and clicked the TV off.

"It is, huh?" I asked, looking forward to whatever it was that she had planned for me.

The love of my life, my sweet Sunshine, proceeded to spend the next hour edging me to within an inch of my sanity. She touched, she licked, she kissed, she sucked. She rubbed her body against mine in ways that are probably illegal in some parts of the world. Each sharp intake of breath, every moan she wrung out of me, every shout of pleasure I gave made her smile in satisfaction. She explored every inch of my skin, driving me to the brink of release before stopping to let me cool down, then winding me back up again.

Finally, fucking finally, she took pity on me as I laid sprawled on the wide sofa, with her on her knees on the floor in front of me. My whole body was tense and shaking with the need to come, but I was lying as still as I could, per her instructions. The urge to thrust my hips up was almost overpowering. She was sucking me off again, and every time I made even the smallest movement, she pulled off with a reminder to hold still. My fists were clenched tightly so that I could resist the urge to wrap my fingers in her hair and fuck her mouth hard.

I could feel a full-body shudder overtaking me as she pulled off and blew a soft breath across the head of my cock. The coolness of the air moving against my slick skin, followed up by the heat of her tongue licking me from the base of my shaft to the tip proved to be almost too much. My balls tightened once again almost to the point of pain, and I panted and begged her to finish me.

"Please, Sunshine, I need to come. I don't fucking care how. Your mouth, your pussy, your hand...hell, my hand. I don't care, I just need to come, love. Please!" I almost whimpered when she gently cupped my balls, cradling them in her palms.

She looked up at me before bending to lick and suck gently on my sac. Her spit-slick fingers slid down back between my cheeks, and she pressed the pad of one finger against my asshole. I tensed, my body awash with the powerful sensation pulsing through me. She gave me an unholy grin before leaning forward, flicking her tongue to lap up the never-ending stream of pre-cum beading from the angry-looking head of my dick. She pressed against my hole before rubbing her fingertip over it, and my body broke out into a cold sweat that was at odds with the sudden flush on my skin.

"Ah, there it is. I told you I could make you blush," she said gleefully.

Before I could even comprehend anything more, she opened her mouth wide and swallowed me to the back of her throat again. She hollowed her cheeks and began a powerful sucking rhythm while working her throat against the head of my cock. Her finger, that naughty slick little finger, rubbed over my sensitive entrance again before pressing inside. My body jolted, never having experienced that particular act before. I didn't even have a chance to object - not that I was sure I would have - before she pressed against what I knew had to be my prostate. I felt like my body was electrified from the inside out. With a hoarse shout, I came down her throat, my body convulsing over the top of hers as she swallowed everything I gave her.

I lay there in stunned disbelief, my thoughts hazy and my vision unfocused. My chest was heaving as I drew in ragged breaths, and I could hear my heartbeat thundering in my ears. Holy fucking shit, I was going to die from pleasure, and I couldn't think of a better way to leave this world.

I was dimly aware of Allie moving away from me, heard the faint sound of the water running as she washed her hands in the hallway bathroom. She sauntered back into the room, glorious tits swaying with every step, her confidence at an all-time high after the ecstasy she just gave me. Unbelievably, I felt my overworked cock perk up and take notice of the sexy woman who clearly - and literally - just owned my ass.

With a growl, I vaulted up off the sofa and pinned her against the wall, rubbing my growing erection against the notch of her thighs. She moaned lightly as I bent my head to nip at her neck.

"Are you proud of yourself, Sunshine?You proved your point and made me blush, huh?" My voice was low and husky as I nibbled my way along her collarbone, stopping to flick my tongue against the pulse pounding at the base of her throat. I reached up and wrapped my hand around her neck like I loved to do and held her jaw between my thumb and forefinger. I kissed her lips, which were still red and swollen from working so hard to suck me off moments ago. I reached my other hand down to cup her pussy, grinding the heel of my palm against her clit as I ran my fingertips through her slick folds. She was so fucking wet for me, and I could feel her quiver against my hand.

"Do you need to come, love?" I asked softly, lazily. "Does your pussy need to be filled?I'd be more than happy to help you out with that. Do you want my tongue?"I flicked my tongue along her lips before dipping it into her mouth and withdrawing. She moaned, and I smiled against her mouth. "Or my fingers?" I used my fingertip to trace the edges of her pussy lips, barely brushing over her clit before teasing her opening again. I slipped my other hand over the cheeks of her ass, brushing along her cleft. She clenched as I rubbed over her puckered back entrance. "Should I return the favor and finger your ass, Sunshine?Hmmm?"I could feel her rubbing her pussy against my hand, trying to get herself off.

"Nuh-uh, my sweet Sunshine. It's my turn to play again."My cock had risen to full mast again, eager to slide inside his favorite place on Earth. I moved my hand away from her asshole. I didn't have any lube down here, and I knew if I continued to play back there, I wouldn't be able to resist fucking her ass. I'd been dreaming about it for far too long to hold out.

My knees were still feeling a little weak from my orgasm, and I knew I didn't have the strength to fuck her against the wall the way I wanted to. I turned her and pushed her down over the arm of the sofa. I nudged her ankles apart with my foot, then grasped her hips and thrust into her pussy in one long, forceful push. She wailed, and I could hear the pleasure in her voice. I slammed into her over and over, loving the feel of her pussy clamping down on me every time I drew back. I knew in this position that she couldn't get any friction against her clit, and the writhing of her hips showed how desperate she was for it.

"Fuck, Sunshine, you feel incredible. I could live inside you," I panted out, grunting with each pump of my hips.

"Nico, honey, I need...fuck, Nico, I need to...please?" she whined, not even sure exactly what she was asking for. I knew though. I knew she needed to come. She had edged me for over an hour, but the hell of it was, she had edged herself in the process. I knew that my sweet Allie got off on giving me head. I knew how wet it made her. I knew how much she wanted to be fucked right now. I knew how much she needed me, and I was more than ready to give her everything.

I pulled out and flipped her over to lie on her back on the sofa. I covered her body with mine, pulling one of her legs up over my shoulder as I bent over her and plowed back inside. I swiveled my hips to grind against her clit before pulling out and thrusting back in again. The third time I did it, her back bowed and her body clenched tight, damned near strangling my cock. She screamed her release as her hands raked down my back. I could feel the sting of her nails and relished the thought of carrying her marks of passion on my body.

I powered into her one final time before I joined her in a shuddering release. I collapsed on top of her, knowing that I was probably squashing her but not having the ability to move at that very second. I gulped in some much-needed air and shifted slightly to the side. I brushed a kiss to the tip of her nose, and she opened her eyes to give me a smile.

We disentangled our limbs and made our way upstairs. Allie pinned her hair up out of the way and joined me in a quick shower. Once we were dried off and ready for bed, I realized that our cell phones were both downstairs. I ran down to get them, noticing that I had a missed call and voice mail from Michael. I listened to it on my way back upstairs.

"I just heard from LAPD. They arrested the stalker and she's being held on a psych hold. I'll talk to you both tomorrow."

Thank fuck!
