Chapter 30

Jon tugged her from the car when the door opened and with his arm wrapped around her shoulders they headed for the inside of the hotel. The car full of her friends pulled up at the same time they had and were tumbling out of the car singing Bon Jovi songs off-key and laughing about nothing.

Seeing Richie and Linda emerge from the car, she grinned since Linda’s hand was still inside Richie’s shirt and he looked pleased by it. Turning back to Jon, she couldn’t help the twinkle in her eyes, she’d been waiting months see him again and getting up to his room was taking far too long. “You promised.”

One eyebrow quirked upwards, Jon had no idea what she was talking about. It didn’t help that he was more than a little fuzzy from drinking all evening. “I did? What did I promise?”

“That we’d get the sheets all wet.” Licking her lips then and batting her eyelashes in what she hoped, in her inebriated state, was a suggestive insinuation.

His mouth was on hers in answer, both hands cradling her face.

“Get a room, you two!” Tico called from behind them.

David laughed, “yeah, get a room, you’re making me jealous.” Even if his eye was on one of her girlfriends that seemed to be warming up to him.

“Shut up, assholes!” Jon flipped them off and then groaned when the entire contingent of her drunken girlfriends came flying at them and surrounded them for a good night hug. Finding himself encircled by sweet smelling and huggy women usually wasn’t something he’d complain about, but he’d been sporting wood all night long and he wanted relief. “Good night ladies, it was a pleasure meeting you.”

“Aw, Jonny, you don’t want to join us for a drink in the bar?” Tara teased, her arm haphazardly draped over Paula’s shoulder.

“Yeah, we need to have a nightcap with Amber.” Stas and Lainey chimed in, both swaying dangerously in their current state of non-sobriety.

Amber was the one to shake her head at them, “no, you whores, I’m taking him upstairs with me. I’ve waited long enough to get laid.” Laughing when they all shouted at her for being the whore, she tugged on his arm to urge him towards the door of the hotel, all of her girlfriends staggering in behind them.

“Hey, Jon. Quite the harem you got going there, eh?” Chad Kroeger quipped at the elevator door, heading upstairs after a night at the local hot spots.

Looking around at the troupe of loudly giggling women that seemed to be following Amber and him. “You might say that. This is Amber and those are her crazy girlfriends that conspired with Sambora, Tico and Dave. We just came from a private party. You wouldn’t happen to want to meet them, would you?” Asking hopefully as he looked from Chad to Ryan, Daniel and Mike. The last thing he wanted to do was get into the elevator with the crazy bunch of women he was afraid were intent on joining them upstairs. Turning to Amber then, he pinned a pained expression on his face hoping she’d catch the hint.

Spinning back towards them without leaving the safety of his arms, she started “Oh yeah, let’s see, that’s Stas, Lainey, Tara, Paula, Kris, Dana, Lynn, Rita, Bean and Nikki, who is also from British Columbia. Cassidy went home or she’d be dying to meet you and she took Serene with her. Linda’s going to be jealous they’re meeting you since she loooooooves Daniel.” Slurring the words in her drunken state, Amber didn’t see Linda and Richie standing a little ways from them, Linda blushing significantly.

“Oh yeah?” Richie’s eyebrow lifted.

Shaking her head, Linda loudly exclaimed “oh no, not even close to how much I looooove you.” Then groaned at her own state of drunkenness. “Tell me I didn’t just say that out loud?” Blushing even more brightly.

“Oh yeah, darlin’ you did.” Laughing, then spying an opening elevator, Richie dragged her into it, “and I want you to prove just how much you looooooove me.” Exaggerating it just as she had. Before the doors closed behind them Amber saw Richie’s mouth lowering onto Linda’s and grinned drunkenly.

Still stuck in the lobby, Jon’s willpower to be pleasant with these people was quickly wearing out. “Why don’t you all go in the bar and have a nightcap on me? Chad, you and the guys game?” Asking expectantly and hoping like hell they’d take him up on it.

“Sure, come on ladies, let’s go get to know each other.” Wrapping his arm around Nikki’s shoulders “so what city do you live in?”

Amber watched as all of her friends drifted off with some of the band members pairing themselves off with the women. Grinning to herself when Daniel had Lainey caught around the waist herding her towards the bar and Ryan was likewise engaged with Stas on one arm and Tara on the other. Hugh was escorting a very inebriated Paula towards the bar for drinks none of them needed. She had to chuckle when she saw that Kris and Bean snagged Mike’s attention. What she didn’t know was where Tico and David vanished off to. Bobby followed behind the group with Lynn looking most uncomfortable and tossing murderous glares at Amber, while having the man’s hand at the small of her back urging her toward the bar. Shaking her head as the lobby suddenly became quiet and the elevator dinged its arrival. Walking onto it with Jon, she leered hungrily up at him. “Finally, I have you all to myself.”

“Hey, that should have been my line” barely made it out of his mouth before his lips were crushed by hers in an aggressive, hungry kiss. Responding in kind, Jon urged her mouth open and launched an oral attack that had her breathless with need. His fingers splayed across her back, caressing her through her blouse, snaking under the hem of it searching for her porcelain skin that felt of silk and fire.

Amber’s hands were as busy, pushing at the butter soft material of his doeskin chamois shirt. Pressed against him at the back of the elevator, she busily began unbuttoning it, wanting the offending article of clothing out of her way. She didn’t even notice when a matronly woman stared open-mouthed at them when the elevator stopped at her floor and declined to get in with the couple busily making out.
