The street outside the TD Garden was packed with fans, crowding closer to the doors in the hopes of catching sight of their favorite pop star.
Selena took a deep breath and summoned her best smile.
One of her security detail opened the door for her. The roar of adulation crashed against her, some fans chanting her name, others just screaming wordlessly.
Shoving aside the urge to dash for the limo, she spent several minutes smiling and waving at her fans, slowly walking along. There were countless signs and squalling fans, but they all blended into one as usual.
In what seemed like forever, she reached the limo, and breathed a sigh of relief as she climbed inside.
"Hi," Demi chirped from the opposite seat.
Another of her security detail closed the door, and they began to drive off.
"Hey," she replied, stretching out on her seat, lounging on the smooth leather.
Demi fidgeted in her seat, eyes fluttering all about. Her nervousness would have been easy to detect even if Selena had not known her for as long as she had.
"What're you doing here?"
"I have a show in Hartford tomorrow," her longtime friend and sometimes lover answered.
"So you thought you'd come and see me?"
Demi blushed, glancing down, biting her lip.
"You said we'd talk once you ended it with Justin. And then you said we'd talk once you ended it with Anton. That was forever ago."
Selena sighed heavily.
"You came here to talk about that?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I just did a concert, in case you hadn't noticed. I'm not in a talking mood."
"Then let me talk. You just listen."
"Listening's not one of my strong suits."
"Please, just listen to me."
Selena sighed again.
"Can it wait until I at least get some food in me? I'd be a better listener. All I'm thinking about now is a cheeseburger."
Demi hesitated, but nodded.
They made it to the hotel, her driver savvy enough to drop them off around the back, away from prying eyes.
As soon as she got inside her room, she called up room service, ordering a cheeseburger and fries for herself.
"Want anything?" she asked Demi, who just shook her head, placing her purse on a table in the corner of the room.
Once the order was finalized, she hung up the phone.
"Can we talk now?" Demi asked, approaching her.
Selena smiled as she neared.
Once Demi was close enough, she reached out to pull the other woman into a firm embrace, kissing her fiercely.
Demi melted into her arms immediately, mewling as she felt Selena's mouth close on hers. It was familiar for both of them, even if they had not done this in a long time. The taste and feel of those lips had not changed at all.
"I know why you really came here tonight," Selena purred, her lips moving off Demi's to drag down her neck, nipping at the flesh.
Demi tried to speak, but she was rendered helpless by the way Selena licked and sucked at her neck, her hands squeezing possessively at Demi's hips.
"You need to be fucked," Selena cooed, winding a hand into her hair to yank her head to the side, exposing more flesh.
"No," Demi managed to sputter out, but from the way her hands clutched at Selena's shoulders, she was not about to stop her.
"We both know the truth."
Demi groaned, trying to defy her, but she had never been able to.
"Tell me," Selena began, moving back slightly to look her fellow songstress in the eyes, "why did you come here? What about Wilmer? Can't he please you? I thought you two had something special. Just go back to him."
Demi blushed, glancing down.
"Isn't that what you told me years ago? That you two had something special?"
The blush deepened.
"Tell me."
A smile crossed her lips; as cruel as it might be, she took a certain amount of pleasure in the way Demi was fidgeting and blushing.
Demi murmured something too low for her to hear.
"Speak up."
"He doesn't love me like you do."
"What do you mean?"
Demi still did her best to avoid eye contact.
"He loves me because of what we've been through together. You love me for me, not because of who I've been or what I've done."
"That's true," Selena purred.
Demi finally met her gaze. The need in her eyes was palpable.
"Don't worry," Selena told her, stepping further back, "I won't disappoint."
She tugged her shirt off, throwing it aside. As Demi watched, swallowing nervously, Selena took off her heels and skirt, leaving her in a bra and panties.
Smiling saucily, she sauntered into the bedroom, climbing onto the bed.
Once she reached the headboard, she reclined, stretching out lazily.
"Come here," she beckoned, but when Demi began to move, she shook her head.
"No," she corrected, gesturing to the floor.
It took a few seconds for Demi to understand.
They had not been together for a long time, but it would have taken a lot more than time to fully break the hold that Selena had on her.
So there was a minute hesitation, and no defiance beyond that from the latter as she sunk to the floor and began to crawl towards the bed, utterly delighting the former.
"You're so fucking sexy when you crawl like that."
Her dark hair hung down around to frame her face, a pout denting her lips. From the way she trembled as she approached the bed, it was clear to Selena that she was highly aroused.
Demi climbed onto the bed, slithering her way up in between Selena's creamy thighs. Her mouth landed on that flesh, and she kissed her way up, dragging her lips across Selena's panties to alight on her belly. The warmth of her mouth continued, quickly finding the valley between her breasts, sliding up further to find her neck, and finally, her mouth. Selena took charge, pulling Demi into another passionate kiss.
Selena delighted in her prize, tasting Demi's mouth. Her hands slid down to squeeze at Demi's ass through her jeans.
Her lips broke from Demi's mouth, and traveled down to her neck. Just as before, she sucked and lapped, but the affection quickly grew harsh, sharp bites alighting on the flesh. Demi loved it, moaning shamelessly.
In a flash, faster than Demi could follow, Selena rolled over, trapping the other woman beneath her. She rose up over her prey, smiling wolfishly down, quickly tearing Demi's shirt off and casting it aside. A lacy red bra covered those soft breasts she knew so well. Chuckling at Demi's desire to look good for her, she quickly slipped the bra off, revealing one of her favorite parts of her lover's body.
Demi groaned when she felt Selena's mouth laving at her breasts. They were soft and pert, the slightest tang of sweat on the creamy flesh, Selena purring happily as she tasted along each breast. The nipples were hard, but she avoided them for a while, torturing Demi, sliding her tongue just past each sensitive nub on each pass. As she supped on those magnificent breasts, her hand slid over Demi's heaving belly, darting inside her jeans.
