The concert that night went off flawlessly. As I sat on the side stage with Christa and Alicia I watched my husband control the audience. He smiled as he cursed. He looked so innocent as he sexually touched himself. The man was a contradiction in so many ways. Once the concert was over he ran to me. “Our hotel room should be ready. I’ll just shower there.”
I smiled looking at the sweat pouring off him, “Yeah, a shower is in order.”
“What you don’t think I look all hot and sexy?” He teased.
“Hot, yeah and always sexy but you know how leather gets when it’s wet.”
His eyes narrowed with passion, “Let’s get the fuck out of here.” I agreed with the sentiment. We were almost to the bus when Bob stopped us.
“Hey, Gerard did you notice that girl in the pit? The one that just starred at you the whole time?”
I laughed, “Bob, think there were lots of girls staring at him.”
Bob nodded, “Well, yeah but she was kinda creepy. She didn’t sing along or nothing. Just stood and stared at him.”
Gerard shrugged, “I really wasn’t paying attention.”
“Yeah, well never mind. You guys have a good time. Probably won’t see you until the next Meet & Greet”
“Later, dude.” Gerard started for the bus stairs. As I followed I wondered what it was about the girl that had made Bob take notice. Shit, I didn’t have time to think about it. My husband and I were in a hurry.
Once on the bus we grabbed out bags and prepared to leave. The bands tour managers, who needed to go over a few details with Gerard, stopped us.
“I’ll take out bags out to the car. I saw Worm standing out there by it.”
“Sorry, this should only take a few minutes.” Gerard told me.
I gave him a quick kiss, “I’ll be waiting outside.”
Worm helped me load our duffle bags into the trunk and handed me the keys. I thanked him and sat down in the passenger set to wait. I closed my eyes and leaned back against the seat. A sudden knocking on the window startled me.
“Hey, Jenny.” I said opening the car door and getting out. Jenny was one of my helpers for the Meet & Greets.
“Sorry to bug you,” She said smiling.
“No problem I’m just waiting for Gerard. What’s up?”
“I was on my way back to our bus when a girl caught up to me and begged me to give this to Gerard.” She pushed her glasses up her nose before handing over a large envelope. “She said she was an old friend of Gerard’s. I know I should have refused but there was just something about her that seemed real, you know? Like maybe she is a friend of his. Anyway, I thought I’d just give it to you and let you decided what to do.”
I laughed, “Thanks. See you on Friday.” I watched as she walked away. I liked Jenny and she was quickly becoming more of a friend then just a co-worker. Sitting back down in the car I used my nail to slit open the envelope. There was plenty of light to see what fell into my lap. My breath caught. I was looking at two drawings. The first was a portrait of Gerard. The second was a portrait of Merri. The same artist who had artwork displayed in Helens home had done the portrait of Gerard. My husband had drawn the portrait of Merri. I had seen his drawings of Merri before. In those she had been dead but in this her eyes were wide open. A chill ran down my spine. I shoved the drawings back into the envelope and placed it at the bottom of my purse I had at my feet. Gerard opened his car door as I straightened back up. “Sorry I took so long.”
“No problem.” I said quickly.
He looked over at me strangely, “Something wrong?”
I pasted that damn fake smile on my face. “Nope, things are all good.”
“Sure?”
“I’m sure. Now lets get going. My husband promised me a movie night.”
He started the car with a smile on his face. “Yeah, I did.”
We had only driven for a few moments when he reached over to take my hand, “So tell me the truth. Are you still up for Movie Nights? I mean we kinda started out our relationship with them but I know I was such a bastard to you.”
“I moved over to lay my head on his shoulder, “I told you I understand why you acted the way you did.” I just wanted to put everything out of my fucking mind. “Besides” I said reached down to stroke his crotch, “I can see you are UP to it.”
He laughed, “Oh hell yeah. I’m UP to anything when I with you.”
When we arrived at the hotel we were quickly ushered up to our suite. Gerard tipped the bellboy and closed the door.
“Heads or tails” He asked.
I gave him a surprised look. “Heads or tails for what?’
“Exit To Eden” he took a coin from his pocket. “Master or Mistress”
I knew what he was getting at. “Oh, if I win the toss I’m Mistress and if you win you’re Master.”
“Exactly.” He threw the coin in the air. “Call it”
“Heads”
He looked down at the coin in his palm. “Oh sorry. It’s tails.”
I smiled, “That makes me your sex slave.”
His eyes narrowed with passion, “I’m gonna take my shower.” He carried his tote to the bed and unzipped the main compartment. Extracting a bag he turned and handed it to me. “Have this on when I get back.”
I waited until he left the room to open the bag. Yeah, it was leather.
