Chapter 15

I collapsed, rolled off Justin, then huffed and puffed - Justin had blown my house down! It had been almost two weeks, almost every night and I never got tired of this boy. And what was so great, he never got tired either. I mean, he could go all night in every which a way.

Whew! When God made forty-four-year-old women, he went back into the workshop and created twenty-three-year-old men just for us.

Justin pushed himself up, then looked down at me. "What? You're getting up? I didn't think we were finished."

I laughed. "You're incorrigible."

"I'm just sayin' we can keep going since you finally let me stay the night."

I rolled onto my side so that I could face him, and I marveled at how I still loved just gazing at his face. But then, why would I get tired? No one ever tired of fine art.

"So, you've had enough?" he asked as if his job was to please me.

"I have to get over to the Warner Theatre. And you, sir, need to sneak out of here and get to your room."

"Oh, all right," he said, sounding like a kid about to do something he didn't want to do. When he stood up, I gave him a little slap on his butt and not a piece of skin jiggled. It was like soft stone.

He moved about the bed as if he were looking for something, but I knew his game; he was putting himself on display and I leaned back to enjoy the show that this Trey Songz-looking buck was giving to me. I couldn't believe that I had let Justin stay all night, especially since it was more dangerous here than before. In Atlanta, I had the cast and crew in a different hotel. But here in DC, I'd received such a good deal at the Grand Hyatt that I was able to put everyone in the same place - plus save on transportation since we were so close to the theatre.

Still, I could have stayed in a different hotel, but there was something about taking this risk. Not that I ever wanted anyone to find out about me and Justin. I wasn't about to risk not only my career, but my marriage. It was the thought, though, that we could be discovered. It made this affair more illicit, more exciting.

And anyway, I deserved this celebration. Three great shows in Atlanta. Every seat filled, every ticket sold. The sellouts continued - no one could get a ticket for any of these shows here in DC and it was the same for Charlotte and Dallas and Houston ...the list went on.

I sighed when Justin finally stepped into his jeans - without putting on his underwear.

When he saw me grinning, he said, "I'm going to take a shower in my room."

"What are you gonna tell Ted?" I asked, about the sound engineer who was his roommate on the road.

He shrugged. "I'll tell him I was bangin'...."

I frowned.

"Some girl I met at the bar," he finished with a laugh.
