...BOOM!

The thunder shook me out of my sleep and I sat up quickly. For a moment I forgot where I was, everything was dark and rain pounded on my window. I saw Nate's legs and my memory finally rushed back. He had shifted around in his sleep because I recall his arm being around me, but it wasn't when I woke up. I didn't know where my phone was but there was a clock radio on the dresser that read 2:13 AM.

I sighed and held my head in my hands. Without waking him, I got up and tried to feel my way around the room. I knew I had a bottle of water in my backpack & I found it.

Peaceful, I thought as I glanced over at Nate sound asleep. My eyes finally adjusted to the dark & the bit of light from glowing street lamps outside. I took a couple more swigs of water and took my suitcase with me to the bathroom. It was a funny moment for me as I looked down at my options for pajamas. There was my Snoopy t-shirt and matching pajama shorts...and there was a purple babydoll nightie that Elijah probably snuck into my luggage when I packed. If anything, I'd think he did this to try and prove me wrong. I told him I'd have restraint while on this tour and if Nate saw me in this nightie: game over. Or...maybe Elijah was just innocently helping me out & just packed all of my pajamas.

I took a quick shower & brushed my teeth. The entire time, something was telling me to wear the light & airy nightie. My brain was reaching for logic, telling me it would be wise considering this hotel doesn't even have air conditioning & it's better than wearing nothing.

"Fuck it," I whispered. I had been saying this a lot lately.

He was still fast asleep with his lips barely parted. While I was in the shower, he must've taken his shoes & denim jacket off. I slipped back in bed, not facing him this time. Only a minute passed before he put his arm back over me.

"You okay?" He asked in his sleepy voice.

"Yeah," I whispered.

He hummed as his face nuzzled near my shoulder. "You smell good."

"I took a shower, the storm woke me up. I don't know how you slept through that."

"I had half of a pot brownie before we checked in," he gently laughed.

"Should've known."

"I still feel it too. Like...you feel so soft right now. Wh-- what you got on?" He rubbed the fabric of my nightie together as he tried to figure it out.

"Just my pajamas, go back to sleep," I said quickly.

"Hold up," he chuckled.

Next thing I knew, the lamp was turned on and he looked under the covers at what I had on.

"Oh shit," he smirked.

"It's nothing, okay?" I was mildly embarrassed. "It's just there's no air conditioning and sometimes I get hot when I sleep. I don't wanna wake up in a pool of sweat and this is partially sheer."

"No need to explain," he smiled & turned the light back off. "Should I take off some clothes too."

"Oh...you didn't wanna sleep in your room?"

"You don't want me here?"

"I-I'm just saying, you have a full bed to yourself over there and-"

"That's not what I asked you." He rested his head on the headboard. "Do you not want me here? With you?"

"I don't know what I want," I exhaled.

Nate laughed as if he were agreeing with me, I knew he did. That's all I've been around him: a ball of uncertainty.

"Say the word and I'll leave."

"...Stay."

"...Okay."

He stood up, taking off his jeans & t-shirt, watching me while I watched him. I couldn't help but breathe deeply. The light from outside combined with the raindrops racing down the window made patterns on our skin. His eyes particularly stayed glued to my chest rising up and down. He got back in bed in only his black boxer briefs and we were back how we were: with his arm over me.

Something was different about the way we were breathing now, something careful about it. It was like we were pacing each breath, trying not to give away the obvious fact that both our hearts were racing. I snuggled up closer against him and his arm held me tighter. I could no longer fight the inevitable and if I bit my lip one more time, I was going to lose myself.

I drew circles on the back of his hand and soon his lips found my shoulder. Just the very thought of his mouth on my skin made me exhale with pleasure I hadn't felt in a while. I held onto his hand and slowly moved it down between my legs. He took it from there.

He kissed on my neck as he motioned his fingers up & down my wetness. The thunder and lightning added to the seduction and I just had to turn around. I had to kiss him. I needed to feel his tongue, the scruff on his face. I needed to run my fingers through his hair so I tossed that silly hair tie to the other side of the room. He sat up once I straddled him and proceeded to undress me.

"I want you so bad," he whispered.

His mouth worshipped me as if I just gave him a new level of spirituality.

"Shit," he said.

"What?"

"The condoms are in my room, in my bag."

"Silly," I chuckled. "You guys don't read pamphlets."

"Pamphlets? What?"

"See that complimentary basket on the dresser?" I pointed to it, getting off his lap.

"Yeah?"

I walked over to it and reached inside. "It comes with mini chocolate bars, extra toiletries, mini bottles of water, a map of all the special coffee shops, and...a couple condoms."

I took out one of the condoms and got back in bed.

"You're a saint," he smirked, taking the condom from me.

But instead of immediately putting it on, he got back to kissing me. He kissed me as if it's been years since he last did. Everything was different and more passionate than the first time we were this intimate. Even down to his hands which touched and held me differently.

And when we finally got to it, I never felt so much sexual electricity pulse through my body. Every stroke was slow and deep & he always made sure I was comfortable. It didn't feel like regular fucking, he took his time. He wanted me to feel every vein with how excited he was for me. And he felt how excited he made me. Very seldom did I sleep with someone who actually moaned back, but when that did happen, it was an orgasmic feeling.

In between positions, he made sure to keep me happy; tasting me before he continued. What was even sexier was how he wanted me to keep quiet once he saw the strokes were getting more intense for me. And like a tease, he slowed it down.

"Shh," he'd say, gently placing his hand over my mouth while the other hand held my leg up.

I tried not to whimper and it only made my eyes nearly roll back. He came only a minute after me but it was so worth it, watching his body jolt while he was inside me. When he rested on top of me, he still felt the need to kiss all over my chest. My fingers gently ran through his hair and up & down his glistening back.

"Damn baby," he nearly slurred. "Goddamn."

All I could do was chuckle because I suddenly felt like English wasn't my first language anymore.

He grabbed my thigh and kissed me twice on my stomach. "Just give me 10 minutes," he spoke. "We gon' use that other condom."

knock knock knock

I gasped out my sleep.

"Yo Lux," I heard Tez say on the other end.

I nudged a naked Nate so he could wake up. He grunted but I quickly made him stay quiet.

"Tez is outside," I whispered. "Go in the bathroom."

"What?"

"Go hide in the bathroom, go, go!"

Nate did as I said and I grabbed my hotel robe off the closet door. "Just a minute," I spoke in a raspy manner.

I opened the door and Tez was already dressed for the day along with Swazz, Rupp, & Brandon in along the wall.

"Morning," I forced a grin.

"Morning?" Tez's face twisted. "It's like 12:30. You heard from Nate? He ain't answerin' the door or pickin' up the phone."

"Nate? Uh..." I shook my head, acting like I didn't have a clue of Nate's whereabouts. "Oh wait, I think he went for a walk. I remember he woke me up to let me know. He should be back soon."

"Just by himself?" Swazz asked.

"I guess so," I shrugged.

"Well we're all gonna go to the lunch buffet downstairs," Tez said. "If you see him first, tell him we'll be there."

"You got it." I gave them a thumbs up; as cheesy as can be.

After I closed the door, I sighed and Nate peeked out the bathroom to make sure the coast was clear. A white towel was wrapped around his waist.

"Tez and Swazz are going to the lunch buffet downstairs with everyone," I relayed even though he most likely heard. "God, that was close."

"We're a big secret now?" He smiled.

"I just don't like people in my business." I sat down on the bed. "If the boys found out, we wouldn't hear the end of it."

"You right. Well...I guess I should head back to mine and shower."

I nodded, avoiding his eyes.

"But uh," he continued. "I'm just gonna--"

Nate suddenly playfully attacked me, kissing on my collarbone and holding me close.

"Mm," he hummed into my chest. "I'll leave soon, I just wanna stay here a little bit longer."

"Don't worry," I kissed him. "We're all gonna have fun today and then you can have me all to yourself again later tonight."

"I hear that."

+

Our entire crew roamed the streets, visiting all the historic points of interest while being higher than the clouds. I stayed away from the edibles because I just couldn't handle it, so I stuck to the smoke & vapor. We took tons of pictures and of course Nate had to take his certain photographs made just for Instagram that display either a joint in his mouth or a stack of money...or both.

At night we hit up the red light district for fun & the boys brought back some girls to the hotel where we had a little party in Brandon's room. Only one guy was with them and he provided the extra weed. It was cute watching Nate reject all 3 girls that tried to get close to him, even with me being nowhere near him. We both just kept sipping on our cups of hard liquor, soda, & ice; exchanging glances from across the room.

"Well I'm gonna go," I said once things got a little too crazy. "You boys behave, don't get us kicked out. We don't need a repeat of Chicago."

"Yes Mama Lux," Swazz teased.

"Shut up," I squinted at him.

"Yeah I'ma go too," Nate drunkenly added.

"Wha-- why man?" Brandon asked.

"I'm fuckin' tired bro," he replied.

"Whatever," Brandon laughed with his arm around one of the girls. "The old people have a bedtime, it's cool."

We bid everyone goodnight and left the room.

"Are you really sleepy," I asked him.

He bit his lip and slipped his hands around my waist. "Come on now, bae. You know I'm wide awake."

"Yours or mine?"

"Shit, wherever...before I have you right in this hallway."

+

Yet again we found ourselves sweaty and worn out; entangled in the sheets. The lights were on this time, per his request. He told me he wanted to see all of me...and he came harder than last time. At this rate, we were gonna use up all of our Welcome Basket condoms & half of his own box before tour was over.

He caressed my thighs as we calmed down together.

"I don't know where this is goin'," he spoke quietly. "But when we get to London, I wanna take you out to dinner."

I looked at him with some type of surprise. He was getting romantic on me.

"Like a date," a grinned.

Slowly a smile grew across his face. "Yeah," he shrugged. "Why not?"

I inched closer than I already was and kissed his shoulder. "I can do that. What about the guys?"

"I'll handle 'em. If I tell 'em the truth, they ain't gon' say shit...at least not to you. I know Rupp's gonna think it's wack but who cares?"

He looked at me and placed his fingers on my chin, tilting my head upward. His thumb ran across my bottom lip before he slowly kissed me.

"We gon' get you a nice dress," he continued. "I'ma have you get yo hair & nails done. Whatever you want."

I smiled wide and shook my head. "I don't need all that stuff."

"Word?"

"Uh uh. I just wanna have a good time with you, that's all." I kissed along his jawline then nibbled on his earlobe. "Besides, all of that is gonna come off after dinner anyway."

He softly moaned & grabbed my ass. "Oh is it now?"

A playful growl escaped his lips as he was now hovering above me, resting between my legs. He rocked his hips, being a tease & making me feel how ready he was again.

I bit my lip. "Damn I love Amsterdam."

"Beautiful place, huh?" He leaned down and kissed my neck & collarbone.

"Mmhmm."

"Mmhmm," he repeated softly against my skin.

I enjoyed every single kiss & every caress as he reached over on the nightstand for another condom. We weren't sleeping anytime soon.
