Part 50
Everyone was up early and headed to the CBS studios by five in the morning. Sarah now stood off to the side watching as the Boys took their seats and their mics were adjusted. Howie looked over at her one last time before the cameras started giving her a wink. She smiled and mouthed ‘I love you’ to him.
The first thing to roll was footage of the guys when they were younger and Sarah watched as they all cringed from embarrassment. She thought Nick and AJ were adorable as young boys but she’d NEVER tell them that. AJ was bad enough and she knew it would only swell Nick’s head.
"Good Morning, fellas," greeted Mark as the cameras cut to the Boys.
They all chorused their good mornings and the interview started. Mark asked them about seeing old footage of themselves and about the different hairstyles. Sarah laughed as Howie answered. She knew what he was thinking when it was mentioned in the first place. He was always obsessing over his hair.
On the first commercial, Sarah was allowed to join the guys. Howie wrapped his arms around her waist as she ran her hand through his hair.
Teasingly, she said, "Poor baby…always having hair issues."
"Cut it out," pouted Howie.
"So, Howie. Is this the mystery lady we’ve heard so much about?" asked Mark.
"Mystery lady? Howie, are you cheating on me already?" laughed Sarah.
The guys laughed at that and Howie said, "Mark, this is my wife, Sarah, and yes, she’s the mystery lady but there’s no REAL mystery any more. Last November, I went public with our relationship, well, actually, her identity. Everyone already knew I had a girlfriend."
"What about the rest of you guys? Any significant others, impending marriages?"
Everyone looked at Nick who said, "Guess you’ll just have to wait and see."
The stage manager said, "We’re back on in 15 seconds."
Sarah gave Howie a kiss and went back to her spot to finish watching the segment. It was over in just a few minutes and she was able to go back with them. Howie put his arms around her and kissed her.
"God…would you two PLEASE stop that in public?" whined Nick.
"Oh, you’re just jealous," sniped AJ.
Mark asked, "Just how newly married are you?"
Kevin answered, "This past Sunday."
"Wow! That’s NEW. Sarah, how do you feel about Howie’s hair issues?"
Sarah laughed, "He’s worse than a woman about it! I love his hair NO matter how he has it but I prefer it long, like he had it for the World Tour."
Howie smiled, "She loves me no matter what I do with it."
"Just don’t do it like AJ’s!" teased Sarah.
"Hey, I resent that!" pouted AJ.
Mark laughed, "You seem to have a good relationship with all the guys."
"Yeah, they’re like my brothers. I just have to kick their butts from time to time to keep them in line," said Sarah as she looked at Kevin.
"It was nice meeting you, Sarah. Fellas, good luck with the rest of your tour."
The guys shook hands with Mark and then they headed to the limo to head home. Sarah was anxious to get back to Orlando to make sure that everything was going okay for the Benefit. The sponsors had been less than pleased with the fact that Howie and Sarah were in New York the day before the benefit so American Airlines had a charter jet waiting for their return home.
*******************
"Can we talk now?" Kevin asked.
"Might as well, we're at 34,000 feet, so I'm damn sure not going anywhere," Nick cracked.
Kevin grinned. "I do love a captive audience," he said as Nick smirked.
"Kev, what the hell was all that about yesterday?"
"I'm an ass."
"Yeah, so? And your point?"
"I don’t even know how to begin, Nick." He leaned his head back against the seat and closed his eyes.
"You can start by telling me what you said to Becca that had her so upset."
"She didn't tell you?"
"No, Kev. We don't have that kind of relationship. It’s been hard, but we're trying to learn to trust each other. We'd barely been back together two days and then you heap some kinda shit on her? At her best friend's wedding?!"
"I was drunk. I know, that's no excuse, but it didn't help." He tried hard to put into words what he'd felt. "When she left you, it broke my heart, too. Damn, Nick, *I* was the one who set you two up in the first place. You were so torn up and I felt so responsible."
"Kevin, you gotta get over that, I'm not the kid brother anymore."
"I know, Nick, really, I do, but deep down I think I'll always see you that way. I can't help it."
Nick sighed and shook his head. "So what happened? I know you were happy to hear that Sarah had found her, Brian told me that much."
"I was. Am. Hell, I'm so damn confused. Nick, when I saw her at the church, something inside me just snapped. I saw her standing by you and AJ, as pregnant as could be and I thought –"
"Christ, Kevin, you didn't?!"
"Told you I was an ass, didn't I? She looked so happy to be there, and you were all over her and …"
"And you thought I was being suckered in by some chick looking for an easy way out of a bad situation. You thought I was a fucking *convenience*. Shit, Kevin!"
Kevin had the grace to look embarrassed and turned away from Nick.
"No, man, don't tell me …. You shared that little tidbit with Becca, too, didn't you?"
Kevin nodded silently. "And she didn't tell you…"
"No, she didn't. For some reason she felt the need to protect my big brother from a fate worse than death. Be glad I didn't know about this then."
"Trust me, I am."
"Do you have any idea what she'd been through?"
"I didn't, not until Sarah explained it to me yesterday. That Andrew guy was fucked up."
"He did a real number on her, Kev, and it took me a long time to break through that. We haven't done everything right, but I intend to do my best to make things work out. I love her, man, and I won't let you or anyone else get in the way of what we have."
"I'm sorry, Nick, I wanted you to know that."
"I can accept that, but I'm not the one you need to talk to."
"Becca?"
"Yep. We're getting married in eleven days, and I don’t want this hanging over us, Kev."
"I'll take care of it before then, I promise." He put his arm around Nick and hugged him close. Watching from across the aisle, Sarah smiled and closed her eyes.
Howie looked down at Sarah as she attempted to snuggle next to him. The only problem was the armrest and he knew how to fix that. He had her sit up for a minute and moved it out of the way. Then she moved closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder and her hand on his stomach. She sighed contentedly.
"D…"
"Hmmm," he answered as he lightly stroked her arm.
"I love you so much that sometimes it all seems like a dream," she whispered. "Sometimes I have to pinch myself."
"I promise you, it’s NOT a dream, Sarah. This is for real," he said against her skin.
His hot breath on her skin sent chill bumps down her body. She looked up at him, "I can’t wait to get home and make love to you."
"Who says we have to wait? The crew area is empty," grinned Howie.
"What if someone comes back there?"
"Part of the fun…the chance of getting caught. Besides," said Howie looking around at the others. "Everyone is occupied. Go on back and I’ll follow you in a minute."
Sarah kissed Howie and headed to the crew area in the back of the plane. She saw that Brian was asleep, Nick and Kevin were talking and looking at music, and AJ was busy listening to his CDs. He was the only one who noticed Sarah going to the back and just grinned at her as she passed by. She brushed her hand across his shoulder, stopping momentarily as he reached up to touch hers.
A couple minutes later, Howie followed her, the bulge in his jeans somewhat obvious if anyone was to notice. Again, the only one who seemed to realize what was going on was AJ and he only grinned at Howie knowingly.
"Want help?" offered AJ jokingly.
"Not this time, Bone. Keep everyone out for me."
Howie drew the curtain behind him and when he turned around, Sarah was in his arms. She ran her hands through his hair as she kissed him, her tongue darting into his mouth inviting him in. She pressed her body against him and felt his erection pressed against her.
Sarah whimpered softly as Howie placed his hand on her ass and the other slipped under her shirt to her now painfully hard nipples. He was somewhat surprised that she wasn’t wearing a bra but he definitely didn’t mind. With his thumb and forefinger, he pinched first one and then the other, then caressing her. Moving his kisses from her lips, he trailed down her neck to the pulse point that he knew would drive her wild. First he licked and then he began to suck and nibble at it causing Sarah to grind against him.
"God! I have to have you," she moaned and reached between them. Frantically she unfastened his jeans and reached in taking his swollen mass into her hands. She could feel the first satiny drops that she spread into her hand as she started to stroke.
Howie reached for her hand and pulled her away from him. Then he led her to the seats saying, "It’ll be easier…in case we hit turbulence." Before he sat down though, he freed himself of his jeans and boxers and then had Sarah straddle his lap. He reached under her skirt only to realize that she wasn’t wearing any panties either. He grinned, "You tramp."
Sarah laughed softly, "Took care of that before you got back here," and she leaned to him to kiss his neck. She ran her tongue lightly along the rim of his ear, then took his earlobe in her mouth, sucking on it and tickling with her tongue.
Howie placed his hands on her hips pulling her down onto his throbbing cock. He entered her, easing her down, feeling her hot walls engulfing him. He stroked in and out of her slowly, enjoying the feel of being inside her. It didn’t matter how many times he made love to her, it always felt like the first time for him.
Sarah let Howie guide her, set the pace, letting the heat build inside her. It was like an inferno and she had no desire to rush to put it out. She ran her hands through his soft curls as she closed her eyes and focused on the throbbing of Howie’s cock inside her.
"That’s it, Angel," whispered Howie. "Feel me! Feel the heat…it’s all for you."
Howie moved a hand between their bodies to her ‘button’ and rolled it between his fingers. He felt Sarah tighten even more, her breathing coming in gasps as her body began to tremble.
"That’s it, come for me, Angel."
"Howie…." Purred Sarah as the inferno exploded, her juices flowing freely.
Howie quickened his pace needing to reach his own release. As he held on to her, he looked up to see Brian standing in the doorway watching. It was what Howie needed to set him over the edge and he felt his muscles tighten as his own orgasm claimed him.
Brian’s face turned crimson when he realized what was going on. He stumbled backwards into AJ who had fallen asleep.
Sleepily, AJ looked up, "Whaz up, B-rok?"
Brian stuttered, "Uhhh…..nothing."
AJ saw the look on Brian’s face and chuckled, "Oops! Must have fallen asleep. Don’t go back there."
Brian hurried back to his seat and AJ reached over to pull the curtain back. He glanced back to see Sarah resting against Howie and smiled fondly as he remembered when he had held her the same way.
After reaching their climax, Sarah had leaned against Howie, her head on his shoulder, sweat dripping, hearts racing. As they slowly regained their composure, Sarah got up and got her panties back on as Howie stood to pull his jeans back up.
Howie laughed softly thinking about the look on Brian’s face when he had seen the two of them. Sarah looked at him confused, "What’s so funny?"
"Brian caught us just before I came."
Sarah blushed, "Oh god!"
"Angel, why be embarrassed? What if it had been Kevin or AJ?"
"That’s different. I’ve…we’ve…it’s just different! I could even deal with Nick catching us…but god, it was BRIAN!"
Howie put his arms around Sarah and kissed her. "Glad to know you have SOME modesty but don’t worry. He knew what was going on but he couldn’t see anything."
Sarah giggled. "Poor B-rok."
AJ slid the curtain back. "Are you two done?"
"Yeah."
"You need to get in your seats. We’re getting ready to land."
"Thanks, Bone. We’re coming," said Howie.
AJ cracked, "AGAIN? Damn, D! You’re good. You’ll have to teach me
your secret."
"No secret…just an incredibly sexy woman," said Howie as the two
walked back holding hands.
Sarah looked over at Brian but he wouldn’t make eye contact with her so she didn’t say anything to him.
Nick smirked, "Have fun being initiated, Sarah?"
"Initiated?"
Howie answered, "Into the Mile High Club."
Kevin remarked, "Yeah, baby! You’re truly one of us now."
"Oh god! The horror and shame of being like the BACKSTREET BOYS," sniped Sarah as she pretended to be ashamed. Then it dawned on her. "Hey, Frick! You a member too?"
Kevin laughed, "He was the FIRST!"
Brian’s face was a bright fire truck red as he said, "Let’s just drop it, please."
Despite the rocky start to the trip, all in all, it had been fun but everyone was glad to be back. As the plane taxied to a stop, they got up and grabbed their stuff to head to their individual homes. They all had plans for the rest of the their brief break and they were eager to get started on them.
