He glanced at her, then back to the grinning guitarist. "Well, just as long as it's okay with Dani?"
"Sure, baby," she smiled, letting go of his hand and gently pushing him toward the waiting male. "I'll...amuse myself while you're gone."
He winked to her as he was lead away, mouthing "I love you" to assure her he would, eventually, return.
*~*~*~*
"Mmm, Cody," came the husky groan. "Fuck, where did you learn how to do THAT?"
Cody giggled.
"Seriously, fuck," he panted. "You're amazing!"
Cody giggled again as he helped the guitarist zip his fly.
"I'd like you to stay," Billy grinned. "I don't want this to end so fast."
Cody's grin turned to a frown slowly. "My girlfriend is waiting for me."
"Joel's keeping her company," Billy assured him. "I asked him to....take care of her for you."
"Oh," Cody sighed.
He was happy for her- she'd always had a thing for Joel, as he'd always had a thing for Billy. Why shouldn't they both get what they wanted? It was only fair. And yet, he found himself destraught at the thought of Joel and his Dani sharing a bed, fucking until the sun came up.
"I have an idea," Billy smirked.
*~*~*~*
Billy knocked on the hotelroom door and waited. Cody tapped his foot nervously against the brick building, hoping and praying that they weren't about to walk in on anything too graphic.
"Fuck this," Billy grumbled, searching through his pockets. "I have a key."
Cody stood up straight and eyed Billy. "I dunno if that's such a good idea."
"I'll go in first," Billy winked. "Make sure everyone's decent."
Cody sighed.
After some minutes of searching, Billy found his key in his wallet and opened the door slowly. There were no noises, the room was pitch dark. "Joel?" Billy called. "Joel, you in there?"
A female voice giggled. "He's in the bathroom, Billy."
Billy stepped into the room and flicked the light switch to "On", Cody walking in quickly behind him and shutting the door.
"Hi," Billy smiled.
The girl in bed waved and grinned. "Hi. I'm Genevieve. Neve, for short."
"Hi Neve," Billy beamed.
"Where's Dani?" Cody looked on in horror.
"The blonde chick?" Neve grinned. "She disappeared a few hours ago with Benji. We weren't sure where they went, so we gave up waiting and came back here. Joel said he was supposed to watch her or some shit? Yeah, umm, she hightailed it out of there with the Benj Man. Sorry."
There was a flush and Joel pranced into the room naked.
His eyes went wide at the sight of his bandmate and the young male. "Uh hi."
"He's bi," Billy pointed to Cody. "It's cool."
Joel shook his head at Billy's strange exchange of information, and climbed into bed with Neve. "Your girlfriend? Blonde girl? Dani?" he asked Cody.
Cody was growing greatly concerned. He was trying to shield the hurt he felt at this sudden discovery. Before the show, he and Dani had a long discussion about their fantasies and their hopes for this night. They'd set limits for one another. Dani's limit for Cody was simple: he was not to have unprotected sex with Billy. Cody's limit for Dani was even simpler: she was to go nowhere near the band's over-pierced, over-dyed, over-tattooed guitarist. He was, in all accounts Cody could find, a womanizing whore.
Dani had laughed at his insistance, assuring him that her only interest was the band's lead vocalist. If it wasn't to be Joel, it was to be nobody. Had she lied to him? Had she been lured and seduced by the rabid whore of Babylon? Cody seethed with anger at the thought.
Joel continued. "She and I had a little talk backstage."
Cody was barely listening anymore.
Joel wiggled his eyebrows and continued. "She wasn't very interested in my company, bro. Benji offered that she could go back to his room, he was just gonna go watch some TV and sleep. No offense, but I had needs. So Neve here and I came back here and I pawned Dani off on my brother."
Cody's voice was timid. "Pawned her off?"
"It's just a figure of speech," Billy defended. "Anyhow, we'll go to Benji's room. Thanks, Joel."
"No prob!" Joel waved as Billy pushed Cody out of the room.
"What the fuck was that in there?" Billy spat at the young brunette. "You wanted someone to keep her company."
"You wouldn't understand," Cody frowned.
"Try me!" Billy demanded. "I'm a rather understanding kinda guy."
Cody looked up into Billy's crystalline blue eyes and sighed. "I asked her not to fuck Benji."
"Okay, and?" Billy raised his pierced eyebrow. "Just because they're in a room together, it does NOT mean that Benji is hammering her."
Cody shuddered at the mental image.
"Cody?" Billy asked, his voice full of warmth and sincerity.
Cody nodded.
"When we find her, if you feel that you need to go home, I'll understand."
Cody's brown eyes filled with confusion and sadness.
"I mean," Billy stuttered and paused. "I don't want you to. But I'll understand."
Cody placed his hands gently onto Billy's waifish cheeks. "I don't want to leave."
"Good," Billy blushed. "Cause I don't want you to either. But I understand about Dani."
"Thank you," Cody grinned. "Let's find her."
*~*~*~*
Dani flipped the channels on the remote control slowly, not finding much of interest at such an hour.
"Dani?" came a voice from inside the bathroom.
"Yeah?" she called back with disinterest.
There was a tearing sound and then a giggle. "I need your help!"
She walked into the bathroom, only to find the male standing before her naked. He was combing his hair gently, and laughing at his reflection in the mirror.
She arched an eyebrow. "And what on earth do you need my help with?"
Benji snickered. "This!"
Her eyes trailed down his body and stopped to memorize his erection.
"That's nice, Benji," she grinned. "Very nice."
"I thought you'd like it," he grinned. "I was in the shower, you know, thinking about your little strip show that you did before. I got to imagining what it'd be like if we hadn't been interrupted by Paul. And next thing you know, I had a friend."
"A friend?" she giggled.
"Well, yeah, he's my friend!" Benji teased.
"I see," she chuckled. "Some friend."
