Two Years Ago

I loved my life: jumping from one city to another, one country to the next, playing every night at a different venue nonstop. At least I did, until Sadie. Tonight, I wanted to exchange the sold-out concert for an evening at home with my girlfriend.

“Man, you’re sulking again,” Jax mentioned as he enters the dressing room. “Like your woman would say, you’ve been grumpy all day.”

“Don’t mock Sadie,” I warned him.

“I take it that you haven’t heard from her yet?”

Still no word from her, I repeat in my head for the millionth time today.

Sadie’s been out of reach all day. I tried calling her several times, but she never answered my calls or texts. All fucking day long, I wondered if I did something to piss her off. But she wasn’t like that. When I upset her, she called me on it right away.

“Awe, he misses his little flower girl.”

Fuck, I hated when he called her that. Instead of acknowledging him, I grabbed my phone and fired up a text.

Kade: Hey Snuffle Bunny, I missed you all day. If I upset you, let me know what I did so I can fix it. If not, let me know you’re okay because I’m worried sick. I just want to hear your voice and tell you that I love you.

“Ah, so that’s why you’ve been calling me all day?”

My pulse quickened, and my head snapped at the sound of her silky voice.

“You’re here,” I lifted my gaze and found her.

Just like the first time I saw her, as soon as our eyes locked, everyone around disappeared. It’s just us. Her dark eyes twinkled as I marched to meet her. She wore a pair of jeans and a t-shirt of Killing Hades. The newest one with the hummingbird logo of our latest tour. My good luck charm was here.

“You think I’d miss your birthday, Booboo Bear?” She raised her hand that held a cupcake and with the other, she lit up the candle.

“Happy Birthday to you…” Sadie, my bandmates, and the crew sang.

I couldn’t believe it. She’s here with me. The one person in the world I wanted to be with is right in front of me. And if it was possible, I love her even more.

“Make a wish,” she whispered, biting her lip.

Fuck I wanted to be the one nibbling on it, tasting her. This was the best fucking birthday ever. She was my best present. I only wished to be with her forever. After I blew out the candle, she pulled it out of the frosting. Then the Little Minx smeared some of it around my mouth and nose.

“You’re going to pay for that,” I joked, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her to me.

“Happy Birthday, Nightingale,” she mumbled close to my mouth, licking some of the frosting before capturing my bottom lip between her teeth and tugged it.

I took a hungry kiss from her lips. If I had time, I’d take her somewhere private and bury myself inside her. It’s been so long; nearly three weeks since the last time I saw her.

“Get a room!” Someone yelled.

“If we could,” Sadie laughed with that deep throaty laugh that hit me right in the groin.

“You fuckers are just jealous!” I groaned.

“Are we grumpy, Mr. Hades?” She caressed my jaw with her lips.

“Don’t tease me, Little Minx,” I begged her. I fucking wanted more. “How long are you staying, beautiful?”

“I’m going to be with you for the last leg of the tour. Tonight, Portland, Vancouver and then we go home.”

“Will you be okay on the bus?”

She smirked, shaking her head. I thought so, and I had no idea how to fix it tonight. Sadie loved my crew, and they did her. However, she could only take so much noise, and the bus was anything but quiet.

“Not to be a prude but your bandmates are too much to handle for that long, Kade. But, I have it all under control. Duncan and Jax helped me book planes, hotels, and even a fancy restaurant to take you for dinner.” She tossed her head back as she laughed at me.

“You’re pulling my leg about the fancy restaurant, aren’t you?”

“Of course I am.” She patted my chest.

“That’d be torture for you. I have other plans. They include whipped cream and …” she said with a sultry voice and bit her lip.

My semi-hard cock twitched. I was going to have blue balls during the set.

“Hades, it’s almost time. The Roadrunners are done, they are switching the stage.”

“It’s okay,” Sadie cupped my chin. “We have all night and plenty of frosting.”

“But I need you now,” I whispered in her ear. “Your sweet little pussy milking my cock. I’m so fucking ready, it wouldn’t take long.”

“Sorry, Mr. Hades. After the last time we got caught by Jax, I refuse to have sex backstage. Lock or no lock.”

“You’re a cruel woman, Sadie Bell.”

“Yet, you love me.”

I pressed my lips against hers, kissing her slowly. It’s almost a chaste kiss.

“Where are you going to be while I play?” I nibbled her neck, my hands roaming around her body.

“On the sidelines, listening to you.” She pushed my hands. “Stop it. I swear it’ll be worth the wait once we’re out of here.”

“That’s it, we’re canceling the gig,” I joked, but everyone glared at me.

“Let’s go, fucker,” Jax yanked me away from Sadie.

“Thank you, Jax,” Sadie waved at him and blew me a kiss. “Sing your heart out, Hades.”

We walked toward the stage, I grabbed my guitar from Esteban, one of the roadies, and waited for the crew to finish switching the Roadrunners’ equipment out with ours.

“You knew she was coming and didn’t tell me, asshole,” I feign anger, but squeezed his shoulder. “Thank you, man. I owe you.”

“Sadie makes our leader happy, the least I should do is help her to keep you in line.” He laughs. “So, are we following the same lineup or are you adding your usual acoustic ‘I’m going to get fucked after the concert’ crap for her?”

I grinned at him and pushed him toward the stage and started playing our first song.
