Part 18

    The tour kicked off with the guys going to New York to do an MTV special the day their CD was released.  Sarah went with them and was amazed by the fans' reaction.  She was extremely proud of them.

    In making plans to go to the studio the night before, Howie decided it would be easier if Sarah went ahead without them.  She could still come and go without being recognized and he wanted to keep it that way.

    That morning, Sarah woke in Howie's arms and smiled as he brushed his beard against her shoulder.  "Are you awake, 'D'?" whispered Sarah.

    "Mmmmm......yeah," mumbled Howie against her skin, his breathe sending chills down her back.  He pulled her closer to him and kissed her on the neck.

    "What time do I need to go down to the studio?"

    "Around 2 I guess.  'Angel', you understand why I want you to go down ahead of us?"

   "Yes."

    Howie pulled Sarah to him having her roll so she faced him.  He stroked her cheek softly and brushed her hair back.  "I want you to know that I do love you and I'm extremely proud to call you my girlfriend."

    Taking Howie's hand in hers, Sarah kissed each of his fingers and said, "I've never doubted your feelings for me."

    Howie placed tine kisses on her eyelids, the tip of her nose, and on her cheeks.  He ran his hands lightly down her ram as he whispered, "I love waking up with you in my arms."

    Sarah grinned, "I definitely have gotten use to it.  What am I going to do while you're on tour?"

   "Join me as much as possible."

    "I guess I'll be racking up the frequent flyer miles."

    "Mmmm...yep," said Howie as he kissed her along her neck letting his beard tickle her shoulder and putting his hand on her hip.

    Sarah ran her fingers through his hair as he moved his kisses down to her breasts.  With one hand, He rolled the nipple and with his mouth, he sucked the other, flicking his tongue across it, teasing it.

    "Oh, god...that feels so good, 'D'."

    He moved his attention to the other lavishing it with the same attention until he had both nipples painfully hard.  He began to lick a trail from her breasts down her stomach stopping at her belly button.  He looked up at her, "You taste so good."

    "Make love to me, Howie."

    More that willing to oblige, Howie rolled on top of her entering her slowly, feeling the heat of her body next to him, around him.  Every time felt like the first time for him with Sarah and all he wanted was to be one with her.  He slowly stroked in and out, feeling her body move with his, wrapped around his.  He kissed her, his tongue moving with the same slow deliberation as his cock.

    Sarah ran her hands down his sides stopping at his hips as she met each thrust hungrily.  She couldn't get enough of him and she wanted him deep inside her.  She wrapped her legs around him, pulling him even deeper.

    Howie moaned into her mouth as she ran her hands up his back ever so lightly.  He couldn't hold out much longer; Sarah was so hot and tight and her hands were touching all the right places.  He reached between them to that spot he knew so well.  That *button* that would send her over the edge and he *pressed* it.

    "OH...GOD...HOWIE...I'm going to come," she cried.

    "That's it, baby," moaned Howie.  "Come for your 'Sweet D'!"

    Sarah felt the waves washing over her and Howie quickened his pace.  He felt her tighten around him and he let go.  They thrust together as they exploded and then collapsed together.

******************

    Sitting in the studio, Sarah marveled at how many people there were.  The police had several city blocks barricaded and weren't letting ANYONE into the area.  She had had to call Billy to get into the studio.

   Sarah had the best seat in the house and the girls that surrounded her were so excited.  When the show started, they got even worse.  The guys made their way out to a room full of screaming, crying girls...well, with one exception.  Sarah watched with fascination as Howie, Kevin, AJ, Brian, and Nick made their way through the crowd hugging, touching, and signing autographs for the frantic girls.  As they passed Sarah, each one kissed her on the cheek and Howie managed to whisper 'I love you' without making it too obvious.  He winked at her as they all took their places.

    The girls around Sarah flipped as teenagers do and congratulated her on being able to get a kiss from the guys they so obviously worshipped.  Some even cried that they hadn't been the one to get the kisses.  Sarah thought to herself 'If you only knew what else I get from one of the Backstreet Boys'.

    The show was an hour long and they talked about the CD, the upcoming tour, watched old clips of them and took questions from the audience. It was one of these questions that Sarah was brought up.

    "Hi, I'm Rho, and I have two questions is for Howie.  First,  there have been rumors of a mystery lady in your life.  Is this your girlfriend?  Second, would you consider dating a fan?"

    All the guys made comments as Howie laughed.  Carson said, "Good questions, Rho.  So, Howie, got answers?"

    Howie grinned as he said, "Yes, the mystery lady is my girlfriend and to the second one, sure, I'd consider dating a fan if I wasn't involved already."

    "Why the secrecy about your girlfriend?" asked Carson.

    "When I first started dating her, she had no clue who the Backstreet Boys were and she was going through a pretty rough time.  I respect her privacy and when the time is right, I'll introduce her to the fans.  I love her a great deal and am extremely proud of her. She will travel with me from time to time on this tour."

    "We all respect her privacy and we enjoy having her around," added Kevin.  "Howie's girlfriend has done a great deal to help us by being in charge of developing our website and maintaining it.  She also does quite a bit of work for Howie's Lupus Foundation as well as working with children in Orlando."

    "Is she here today?" asked Carson.

    Nick said mysteriously, "Maybe....but which one is it?  There are A LOT of beautiful women out there.  Who knows which one it really is?"  Everyone laughed at Nick as he moved among the fans pointing to them asking if they were Howie's mystery lady.  He even went to Sarah and said, "Could you be Howie's mystery lady?"

    At the end of the show, the guys moved through the crowd signing autographs.  Sarah noticed one little girl in particular who was in a wheelchair and unable to move forward to where the guys were.  She moved over to her and bent over to speak to her.  "Who's your favorite Backstreet Boy?"

    The little girl said shyly, "Brian."

    Sarah stood up and called out, "B-rok."  Brian turned to her and Sarah said, "There's a little girl here who would like your autograph."

    Brian moved over to where Sarah was standing and knelt down with the little girl.  He spoke to her for a couple minutes, gave her a kiss, and grabbed a T-shirt from one of their crew.  He autographed it for the little girl and then stood up.  He smiled at Sarah knowingly and moved on.

    Sarah's actions didn't go unnoticed by the other guys or Carson and the MTV staff.  As the guys disappeared into the green room and the crowd started to leave, Carson came over to Sarah and said, "That was pretty cool what you did."

    "Thank you."

    "We want to do something for you.  I noticed that you didn't get the first autograph so why don't you come with me."

    "It's not necessary," insisted Sarah.

    Carson wouldn't hear 'no' and he pulled Sarah with him to the green room.  Once in the room, Sarah looked around to see that it was just the guys and a few other people she didn't know.  She waited for the guys to make the move.

    Nick spoke up, "Hey, beautiful!  What did you think of the show?"

    "Pretty awesome," she said as Nick hugged her.  "A LOT of girls."

    Carson was stunned.  "Whoa!  You know them?"

    The guys laughed as Howie put his arms around Sarah from behind.  "Carson, you have to promise that her name stays OUT of the press."

    "No problem."

    "This is Sarah, my mystery lady.  Sarah, Carson."

    "Nice to meet you," said Sarah as she shook his hand.

    "WOW!!  Howie, looks like you found the perfect girl.  She is obviously not threatened by the fans."

    Howie hugged her close, "She's the angel of my dreams."
