Chapter 12

Desi’s cab pulled up in front of the Park and Orchard, she paid the cab driver and walked in . Her eyes widened it was a bit more high class than she expected. Why the hell not ? I deserve a treat once an awhile .The hostess escorted her to a  table covered in a white linen which was located near the window. Once she was seated in a black high back chair, she was handed a menu.

The waitress approached her a few moments later to take her order, Desi had thought briefly of ordering wine but decided against it with the medications she had been taking, so she settled for an iced tea..  Her stomach growled in protest while she placed her order, a large salad piled with shrimp , then Jasper’s Crabmeat Pasta and finally for dessert a nice slice of cheesecake.

Once the waitress had left , Desi turned to gaze out the window as her mind drifted back to last night.  She didn’t really know what to think . He brought out a passion in her she had thought had been long lost .Passion she was sure she would never experience again especially in the last couple years of her marriage. Jack had seemed to lose total interest in her and when they did have sex , it was all about his pleasure not hers. Jon, on the other hand surprised her , with the sweetness and attentiveness he had shown her. Not that she didn’t think he was capable of it just didn’t think he would show it so openly and to a stranger no less.

Her deep thoughts were interrupted when the waitress returned with her salad and a refill on her iced tea.Desi smiled “Thank you “ then picked up her fork and began to eat .Completely unaware that just a few tables behind her sat the person that plagued her thoughts since she woke up this morning.

Jon and Richie had just finished their lunch and was making their way through the crowded restaurant when Jon spotted a familiar face sitting near the window.  “Well I’ll be damned . I didn’t expect to see her here”

Richie arched an eyebrow “Who? “ as he gazed around the restaurant.

Jon pointed in the direction where Desi was seated  “Desi , The girl I told you about . The one that was injured at the show other night “

Richie cast a look where Jon was pointing .“ Ah, so that's the girl that has you all twisted in knots huh. Quite a beauty you got there . “ he said appreciatively.

“Don’t know what the fuck you’re goin’ on about. She is a sweet person and yes she is beautiful but I just hate to see anyone hurt especially at our shows..“ Jon answered adamantly

“UH huh do you always sleep with ones you’re concerned about “ Richie snorted .

Jon rolled his eyes “ No - just happened is all “

“Not with you . Lets go say hi  “ Richie said matter of factly  and before Jon could reply Richie sauntered towards Desi’s table .

Desi was just finishing up on her salad when she heard a deep drawling voice speak to her “ Hello Darlin’ “

She gradually looked up at the person speaking , her eyes widened and she felt a lump settle in her throat “Hello “ she squeaked out .

Richie smirked at her reaction “ Mind if we join you for a bit ? “ as he pulled up a seat across from her “Good didn’t think you’d mind “

OH fuck! Now I could really use that wine !  “No of course not “ she answered a slight blush crept up on her face once her eyes landed on Jon, who chose the seat next to her.

Jon smiled “Hey there baby. Didn’t expect to see you out and about ? “

Richie watched the both of them with keen interest.  He could definitely see why Jon was ‘smitten’ even if he didn’t want to admit it . She was definitely beautiful but seemed shy and introverted a far cry from what Jon was normally attracted to. Maybe that’s exactly what he needs-someone that needs him .

She smiled shyly “ Well I got hungry and didn’t want to stay cooped up in the hotel today “ as she took a sip of her tea.

Jon nodded understandingly “How’s the leg doing?”

“It’s still there “ Desi joked “ A bit sore but nothing I can’t deal with “

“Shouldn’t you be taking it easy ? “ Jon chided gently, his eyes twinkling.

“I am . I’m sitting “ Desi winked  “Even took a cab here instead of walking “

Richie chuckled “I like this girl and you are ? Since Frank here won’t introduce us “ he held out his hand .

“Desiree but you can call me Desi or Des or hey you ? “ she smiled holding her hand out to shake his .

Jon rolled his eyes “ I was about too . Impatient asshole “

Desi grinned at the banter, it reminded her of herself and Ana .  “Nice to meet you Richie “

“The pleasure is all mine darlin’  “ He replied tipping her hand to his lips and kissed it.

Wait til I tell Ana or maybe I shouldn’t ? Before she could think of anything remotely intelligent to say after that sweet gesture ,lunch was brought to her.  “Care for anything I really hate to eat in front of you “

“Na its good  baby. Go ahead though Dean might steal a bite if you don’t watch out “ Jon retorted

“I will not besides I stole enough from you today , I’m full . But I could use a drink “ Richie caught the waitress before she left and ordered a soda while Jon ordered a coffee.

“So Desi where are you from ? “ Richie asked then politely thanked the waitress who had returned with their drinks.

“ Ohio “ She answered then took a bite of her linguine  “About an hour or so from Cleveland “

“So what brought you to Jersey besides the wonderful scenery“ He teased a ornery twinkle shown brightly in his eyes.

“Well since you guys seemed to have missed Ohio last tour , I figured better catch you while I can besides I always wanted to see Jersey “

Jon grinned sheepishly “ We had planned on making Ohio last tour just scheduling conflicts caused us to miss . But I can let you in on a secret - looks like Ohio might be comin up soon”

Desi’s eyes widened , a big smile spread across her face and she replied “ Really that would be cool though I think I blew all my money for this trip “.

“Well I think I can talk to someone about that after all I have a few connections “ Jon winked

“Really? Could these connections get my friend and I good seats?“ Desi bantered .

“I think that could be arranged “ he said with a devilish twinkle in his eye. "But it might come with a price ? "

“Oh really , I already said I was broke. “ Desi answered, a smile radiating from her lips

“I"m sure we could work something out  “ Jon winked then reached for her hand giving it a light squeeze. "Oh Did you get a hold of Ana ? "

“Yes I did  “ Desi replied while her gaze fell on his hand holding hers,  "You didn't tell me you two talked"

“Well  baby for one you were still half asleep and two I was in a hurry .“

Richie smiled inwardly while watching these two interact with each other , if they weren't smitten with  each other then he would sell all his guitars and become a monk. " So who is this Ana? " his curiosity peaked at the mention of another woman

“I think you would like her “ Desi smiled at Richie  “She’s been my friend for about 20 plus years now "

“So why isn’t she here now “ Richie asked as he sipped on his soda.

“Work she couldn’t get out if it . So I had to solo it  “ Desi sighed

“Well that just sucks "

“Yea it does  but its been a cool trip other than this  “ and with a roll of her eyes , she lifted her injured leg

“Try to think of it this way something good came out of it . You met us “ RIchie winked and waggled his eyebrows " Besides you really got to know my friend here "

Oh God ! He knows, Of course he knows he's his best friend you idiot Desi felt her face get warm and she wanted to hide underneath the table instead she stuffed her mouth with food. and glanced down.

Jon bit back a smile watching Desi's face turn a bright red " Don't pay attention to asshole here, he has foot and mouth disease."

Before Richie could fire back a response,  his phone vibrated in his pocket. Reaching in for it he pressed the on button.  “Yea , oh shit ok we’ll be on our way . I dunno his phone must have died . Yea give us a few minutes “ he shut his phone  “Frank we gotta head out . “

"Fuck " he muttered with frustration. Of course just had to get interrupted when he was actually enjoying himself , A first in an awful long time. “Guess we gotta run but you gonna be at your room later. ? ‘

“Yea don’t think I’m gonna do any sight seeing  “ Desi answered her voice coated with disappointment .

“Okay mind if I give you a call later ? “

“I think I would like that . “

“Good “ He stood up , leaned in giving her a sweet kiss on her lips  “Can’t say what time but I’ll give you a call. “

“Okay have fun and take  care “ she smiled

“I'll try  “ He grinned sheepishly. then headed out , stopping briefly at the register and paying for her lunch.

Richie's grin widened and he couldn't resist but to tease " Damn if I didn't know better but I think this girl has gotten under your skin "

“Na just - well hell I dunno just feel like I wanna take care of her “ Jon answered quietly as he climbed into the backseat , then he leaned forward to speak to his driver " Hey Paul can you do me a favor? "

“Of course  “ Paul replied glancing back in the review mirror.

"You see that girl with auburn hair sitting at the window there? " Jon pointed in Desi's direction.

Paul eye's darted towards where his boss was pointing " Yes sir . "

"When she is finished , could you give her a ride back to her hotel ? "

"Sure boss . No problem "

“Thanks “ Jon replied as he leaned his head against the headrest, closing his eyes .

“No doubt about it you been bit by the bug  “ Richie chortled , giving him a pat on his  shoulder.

“Ah shaddaup Dean “  he retorted  then turned his gaze toward the window and watched the scenery pass on  by.

Chapter 11

A couple hours later Desi stirred . She opened her eyes slowly and glanced around . Had it all been a dream?  She slowly scooted back against the headboard, the sheet that draped over her fell revealing her nude body.  “OH hell it did happen ! “ she exclaimed  “ I - Oh fuck me “ .

She clambered out of the bed then winced as a shooting pain quickly reminded her of her injury. Biting her bottom lip, she gazed around the room, two towels lay on the floor beside her jeans and underwear.  “I can’t believe I did - we did this ! “muttering to herself as she followed the clothing trail. . A small smile spread across her face as she recalled every moment of last night . Picking up her shirt , she held it close to her - his scent floated over her like a warm breeze. .He had  made her feel special and for that she would always feel grateful.

After a few moments being lost in her own reverie , she made her way to the bathroom for a sponge bath.  Once finished , she wrapped herself in her robe , her eyes darted to the trash can where the evidence of their night of passion lay.  “God! Wait til Ana hears about this “ she replied almost giddy-like  “Hell I still cant believe it . “ Then realization hit , Jon had told her Ana had  called “Shit I almost forgot . “

She hobbled out to her phone , sat down on the couch  , propped her leg up then flipped open her phone and pressed speed dial.

“Des is this you or is it your new best friend ? “ Ana teased .

“Its me , Why do you have to ask that ? “ Desi asked

“Well apparently some man answered your phone when I called this morning. Care to tell me about what was Jon Bon Jovi was doing in your room ? “

Desi’s eyes widened ,He had said she called he hadn’t said he talked to her . What the hell did he say and what did Ana say to him ? “Well um .. uh “

“Spit it out girl ! “

“Well Ana it’s really a long story and not sure you got time to hear it “ Desi replied a bit hesitate. Not that she didn’t want to tell her friend . Just it really hadn’t all sunk in for herself yet.

“Yes I do and what’s this about you getting hurt ? “ Ana continued with her rant.

Desi sighed “There was a storm and they made us move off the field . Well while we were all crowded up in the stands , there was a slight rush and some person stepped on the back of my calf. And you know it couldn’t just be a bruise it had to tear - fifteen stitches worth.  “

“God Desi why didn’t you call me ? “

“And what would you have been able to do ?  I went to the hospital ,got stitched up and brought back here . “

“You sure you’re okay ? “ Ana asked , her voice filled with concern .

‘Yea I’m great . I mean its sore but that’s normal “ Desi answered while she bent down to touch the bandaged calf.

‘Take it easy will ya . Tell me how did Jon end up in your room ?  “

“I will . As for how Jon ended up in my room. Well they had taken me backstage when I got hurt and I was in this room waiting for them to take me to the hospital when these two gentlemen walked in one was management with the stadium and the other was from Bonjovi Management  Next thing I knew Jon walked in . ‘

“You’re shittin’ me ! And what did you do ? “

“I was in shock . They were asking what hospital to go to and I had no clue and he mentioned  Hackensack Medical Center. That he wanted to take care of everything and he wanted my room number so he could check on me later . “

Ana chuckled “Apparently he did too . Just how well did he check on you or should I say check you out? “

Desi’s cheeks flushed “ Lets just say I don’t have to fantasize anymore. “

“Is that all the Deet’s I’m gonna get ? “ Ana pouted .

“What do you want a play by play? “ Desi bantered as she leaned forward to pour herself a glass of water.

“Yea you know how nosy I am besides after hearing about how you would rock his world for the last 20 yrs I wanna know if he rocked yours “

“Yes he did and then some “ Desi sighed in disbelief “ I am still having a hard time believing it happened but the discarded condom answers that for me “

Ana laughed “ Now who is gonna doubt me again umm.  “

“Okay okay I will never doubt you again - until the next time “ she teased then grew  serious “ but its not like its gonna happen again , He was sweet to me but that doesn’t mean we’re gonna fall madly in love “

Ana shook her head in dismay  “You never know he might wanna see you again and if not hell girl that should bring your self esteem up a few notches . You just spent the night with the most sought after man on the planet. “

“True - I mean hell I didn’t expect him to even show and when he did - we talked and next thing I knew he was kissing me . I got scared though what if he saw then ran “ Desi admitted

Ana bit her lip to keep from telling her what Jon had said to her , He had noticed and it didn’t matter.  “ Look I don’t think he would be the type too. Remember he has said he loves all women.“

“So what did he have to say to you ? “ Desi responded quickly changing the subject. She didn’t want to let herself believe maybe there was a chance he wouldn’t care what she actually looked like.

God she wanted to strangle her sometimes ! “ Oh he is one cocky son of bitch . You know that right “

Desi laughed “ Not with me he wasn’t “

‘Of course not with you . Anyways, he wouldn’t give me a straight answer about who he was but insisted you were okay. How the hell was I to know that . Here is some stranger answering your phone “ Ana huffed. “Until I hit me who it was  then -- “ Ana stopped herself if she told her she had threatened him  Des would fly into a tizzy.

“Then what ? “

“Oh nothin’ just shocked me is all “ Ana lied hoping she would just leave it at that . “So what are you going today ? “

Desi felt there was more to what Ana was saying but let it drop “ I’m probably gonna head out for a bite maybe down to the Park and Orchard.  I heard they were good . “

“How far is that ? You should really take it easy “ Ana warned

“Yes mom . From what the map says about 2 minutes and no I’m not gonna walk before you ask”

“Good, better go for now . I have to leave for work . I promised the boss man I would get shit filed so its a late Friday night at the office - oh joy “

“Kissin’ ass again I see “ Desi teased

“Always . Besides I figured if I do this maybe next time the bitch won’t get the time off that was mine“

“If you don’t . I’m kidnapping your ass . “

“Hell I am so gonna call in sick next time fuck that ! “ Ana laughed “Take care girlfriend see you when you get home . “

“Will do ? Call me later I should still be up “

“Okay unless you’re busy again “ Ana chortled

Desi laughed and with a slight roll of her eyes “ OH yea with the TV maybe . Luv ya “

“Tell me another one, okay really gotta go. Bye Luv ya too  “

Desi flipped her phone shut , walked into her bedroom changed into a pair of jeans and tank top then slipped on her shoes and walked back out to the living area for her purse and key and headed out the door to catch a cab.

Chapter 10

"Hey this is Richie Sambora. Get me out of here! Hello?? Get me out of here!!"  infiltrated Jon’s sleep. Why would Richie be here ? What the fuck is going on ?  Get him out of where?  . Once again ‘Richie’s voice spoke’ “ Hey this is Richie Sambora. Get me out of here! . Hello?? Get me out of here!! “.

Jon slowly opened his eyes and after carefully prying Desi’s arms away, wiping the sleep from his eyes, he slowly opened them, letting them adjust to the early morning light before swinging his legs off the bed. Tugging on his jeans, he pulled them up then stood.

Desi’s phone trilled again with Richie’s voice filtering faintly through the bedroom door, Jon walked towards where the voice was coming from.  He opened the door , glanced around his eyes spotting her phone on the coffee table and snorted “Fuck it was just her damn phone “ . He sauntered over to the phone , picked it up, glanced at the name Ana that flashed across the small screen.

He had  debated on answering it when it had stopped ringing, but just as he was about to set the phone back down it rang again “ Damn Richie “ he laughed then flipped it open  “Hello “

“About damn time you answered girl . Been trying to get a hold of you since last night. Where the fuck you been ? Did you get kidnapped or some-- “ Ana paused as the realization of a male voice filtered through her rant. “Wait a minute. Who are you and where’s Des?“ She asked cautiously.

“Whoa motor mouth,slow down,” the voice laughed.” I haven’t had my morning coffee yet . I’m a friend of Desi’s “ he paused debating on just how much to reveal to this girl . “ She’s asleep right now . “

Ana arched an eyebrow “ Motor mouth? A  good friend huh ? She doesn’t know anyone in Jersey. Well, other than Emily and you’re not her . So where’d she pick you up at?“

Damn this Ana was persistant “Well Ana is it ? Desi and I met last night when she was injured and I came by to see if she was okay and well-- “ Jon smirked as he recalled their hot passionate night . He wasn’t lying to her when he had told it been a while for him too. Even with his ‘friends’ he had lost interest in any kind of relationship. His divorce had soured him on any future prospect. Though Dot and him were still friends , he didn’t want to invest his heart again. So what was it about this beautiful woman that lay sleeping in the other room that had him possibly wanting to change his mind.

Ana tapped her foot impatiently God this man was infuriating! , Who was this man ? A good friend ? Why does his voice sound familiar ? Wait did he say she was injured ?  “ Desi is hurt ! What the fuck happened? Damnt! I knew I should have said fuck work and went with her ! “ she rattled on, her voice coated with a mixture of panic and guilt.

“Hey Hey its okay. She’s fine. Well as fine as to be expected with fifteen stitches.  “ Jon winced that didn’t not come as reassuring as he had wanted it too.

“Fifteen stitches ! What the fuck happened ? “ Ana bellowed into the phone.

“Calm down a moment and I’ll explain  There was a storm yesterday and our- I mean the fans were moved off the field until it was safe for them to be there. Apparently while waiting with the crowd there was a bit of shoving and someone stepped on her calf . “ Jon explained.

Ana was pacing back and forth in her living room while she listened to this man’s explanation and Desi’s injury .  “So how did you come by being in her room again ? “ she suspiciously asked.

“I came by to check on her . I was worried . I wanted to make sure she was okay and if there was anything else I could do to help her. “

“And you are ? Where did she meet you ? “ Ana asked  Where the hell have I heard his voice before?

“A friend and at the concert “ Jon replied. He was surprised she hadn’t figured it out by now .Maybe she wasn’t a fan ?

Ana growled in frustration getting information from this man was like pulling teeth “ Look I don’t know who you are ? But I do know you are in my best friend’s room at -- “ she glanced at her watch “9am.  Which by my standards is an early time to be paying a friend a visit . So care to enlighten me to what are you doing in my friends room at this hour other than checking in on her ? “

“I didn’t say I was checkin’ in on her this morning . I did however check on her last night “ Jon quipped.

“You what? “ Ana sputtered coffee splattering all over her laptop

“You heard me “ Jon smirked as he glanced back towards the bedroom “Now would you like me to wake her up so you can see I didn’t harm her or would you like for me to take a message and have her call you back ? “

“Don’t get cocky with me who ever you are ! Why won’t you tell me who you are if you say you’re a friend “

“Cuz you haven’t asked nicely “ He chortled “ Listen I gotta run. Gotta a meeting and shit to get too . I’ll tell Desi you called “

“Hmmph, didn’t ask you nicely . “Ana hesitated for a moment when it dawned on her just who’s voice was on the other end and part of her was ecstatic for her friend -if anyone needed some happiness was Desi but same time she was wary. “Just don’t hurt Desi , Mr Bon Jovi or I’ll have to come and kick your ass “

“Finally figured it out huh?. “ Jon chuckled “ As for hurting Desi , Didn’t plan on it . She’s been hurt enough don’t you think ? “

There was a long pause “You know?  She told you ?! “ Ana asked incredulously

“She didn’t tell me anything. I noticed a few scars last night . But I won’t say a word until she’s ready to tell me “ Jon responded quietly “Look would love to talk to you longer but gotta run” he flipped the phone shut and walked over to where his shirt lay,slipped it back on and buttoned it then walked back into the bedroom.

He stopped short to gaze at Desi , a smile spread across his face as he watched her sleep. Then he walked over to her side of the bed , crouched down and reached up to move a strand of hair that had fallen in her face . “Baby ? “ he softly spoke.

Desi’s  eyes flickered open and the first sight she saw was looking into a pair of baby blues staring right back at her “Mmm ‘

“I’m sorry I  gotta run but I didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye.“ He leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead .

“You didn’t have to “ she muttered sleepily .

“Yes I did . Now you sleep and rest that leg . I’ll talk to you later “ Jon replied then before standing up , he gave her hand a squeeze and kissed her.  “Oh one more thing your friend Ana called “

“Okay “ her eyes closing as she drifted back to sleep.

He glanced at her one more time before slipping on his shoes and quietly shutting the bedroom door behind him then headed out the main door of her hotel suite.

Chapter 9

The moon glistened in through her bedroom window and her nervousness kicked up a couple notches.Desi swallowed hard, her eyes remained fixated on Jon, who had sat briefly on the bed to kick of his shoes followed by his jeans landing in a pile . Her hands slid down to her jeans, but her fingers shook so badly , she couldn’t unfasten the button.  Silently she cursed herself for being such a nervous Nelly.

Jon slid up beside her on the bed , he reached down to help her . Placing his hands over hers, he quickly slid the button through the slit then slid the metal zipper down . He gently urged her to lift her hips up so he could slid the jeans down and tossed them on the floor.

Desi fought the urge to cover herself, Its dark he can’t see she reminded herself . She shyly glanced up , her eyes darting from his eyes to that breath taking smile of his .God! She’d never been this nervous in her life not even when she first had sex, what the fuck was wrong with her ? She laid frozen in place like a sheep being lead to a slaughter. Damnit  Desiree do or say something ?

Jon rocked back on his heels to gaze over this shy beautiful woman and chuckled to himself. Damn if she didn’t seem almost skittish. Why? She seemed to talk to me just fine so it couldn’t be a fan thing could it ?  Maybe he should end it now ? Maybe she is having second thoughts ?

He crawled up beside her, pulling her into an embrace then tilted her head to look at him  “If you’ve changed your mind. I’ll understand “

Desi couldn’t think straight not with him this close. His warm body pressed against hers, his scent floating over her like a drug and those eyes - damn those eyes will be the death of me.  “No just its been awhile “ She answered with a half truth .

“Would you believe it’s been awhile for me too ? “ Jon replied with all sincerity .

Desi raised up on her elbows , arched an eyebrow “You’re teasing me right? “ a small smile spread across her face.

Jon shook his head “Nope I’m not “

Desi simply nodded then leaned in dropping a kiss on to his lips.  His confession tugged at her heart more than it should have, but she could relate . Divorce no matter what the circumstances were painful.  She knew she felt like a failure in more ways than one. Jack had confessed he’d been seeing a girl he met online then before she could recover from that blow he served her with divorce papers. “Yeah, divorce can do that.”

“You too?”

She just nodded, not wanting to discuss it. Jon understood and having no wish to talk about their exes at this particular moment either, slid his arms around her, tugging her almost on top of him as the kiss deepened . His hands slid slowly down her back. Suddenly, his brain kicked in and he stopped and raised his head. “Uh, baby?”

“Mmm?”

“I didn’t come down here planning to make love with you, so I didn’t bring anything with me. I’m not contagious, but pregnancy is still a possibility. Do you have anything?”

Desi blushed. She had gone off the pill awhile ago, convinced she wasn’t going to need it anytime soon, if ever again, but Ana apparently had high hopes for her this trip and made sure she was prepared. When she unpacked her toiletries, Desi had found the small box stuffed amongst her shampoo and tooth paste. She nodded. “In the bathroom.”

Jon planted a kiss on her forehead then slid from the bed “Be right  back baby “ he tossed her a smile and made a quick trip to the bathroom.

A few moments later he returned with the small box and after removing one foil packet , he tossed the box onto the night stand then rejoined Desi in bed.  “Now where were we ? “ he devilishly asked.

Desi reached out and tugged him closer to her  “I think right about here “ then she kissed him .All her reservations gone at least for the moment . She pushed all her negative thoughts away and let her body do the talking .

As the kiss intensified , his hand travelled down to the thin scrap of lace , giving it a slight tug and tossed it aside.  A smile spread across his face to find her wet and very willing , he slid a finger deep inside while his thumb pressed against her nub.

Desi cried out with pleasure “Oh god ! “ and wiggled against his hand. Her hand instinctively travelled along his chest , inching closer to his manhood eager to return the pleasure he was giving her.

A growl escaped his lips the moment her tiny hands touched him . Her hand stroking in time with his . “God Desi that feels so damned good “

Clinching her eyes , she was close- so close  “Yes it- Oh God right there please “ she pleaded while her hand stroked his member faster .

Jon gritted his teeth as he fought the urge to join her prematurely in paradise. “You mean right here “ He plunged two fingers in deeper  “Or here ? “ his thumb pressed harder on her nub .

“Both “ She panted “Or better yet please I need you inside me now ! “ spreading her legs wider , she eagerly awaited him.

Not the type to keep a lady waiting. Jon withdrew his fingers, rocked back on his heels ,tore open the foil packet and slipped on the condom.

Once assured the protection was in place , he moved slowly upwards , his lips sliding over each inch of her leg nibbling along her calf.  His eyes gazed over the scars that lay on her leg and wondered  What could have caused all these ? Was this the reason she was afraid to be alone with me ? Did someone hurt her? So help the person if they had ? A spark of anger hit him at the very thought someone hurting this sweet woman . Shaking away these thoughts he returned his attention to her . “You like that baby ? “

Desi was so lost in the throws of passion , she didn’t even realize that he had noticed her scars . “Yes “ was all she could muster .

Jon eased his way into her entrance and growled as her walls grasped tightly onto him. “ Fuck Desi! “ he growled, pausing to regain control.

“Oh god Jon! You feel so good “ Desi cried out. Her legs snaked around his waist  while she leaned forward to nibble on his chest .God in Heaven he is everything I ever dreamed he would be !

“Easy baby “ Jon replied as he slipped her injured leg carefully back down on the bed

She let out a soft chuckle “ Can you believe I forgot? “

Jon chuckled “ Well I do have you kind of busy. “ he winked then leaned in capturing her lips as he plunged in deep then slowly withdrew.

Desi’s gasps of pleasure mixed in with his grunts while she raised her hips to meet with his thrusts . her hands slid down his back , grasping on tightly as the orgasm washed over her like a tidal wave.  

Once he was certain she was completely sated , his thrusts became more intense as he neared his own peak “ You ready to ride this wave together baby “ He growled deeply in her ear , nibbling down her neck .

“Oh Fuck Yes !“ She cried out in ecstasy. Her whole body shook with anticipation.

He pounded hard and fast soon his own release followed as he spilled himself into her warmth. “Fuck! “ he bit out then collapsed on her soft sweaty body.

Desi fought to catch her breath . She had always fantasized sex with him would be incredible but nothing could compare to reality.

Jon raised up on his  forearms and smiled  “You okay? “

“Yea I am “ she grinned back then yawned .

“Looks like someone is tired “

“I guess I am .Got a workout that I’m not used too “ Desi chortled fighting back another yawn.

Jon grinned “ A good workout though? “  As he gently pulled out , rolled away then sat up to remove the condom.

“Oh definitely best workout I ever had “ she watched him as he sauntered to the  bathroom and return with a couple towels.

“ I aim to please “ he winked while wiping himself off with one of the towels..

“You sure can do that “ she smiled then reached for the other towel but he shook his head.

“Nope I get to do it “ He crawled back in bed and gently wiped her then gave them a toss onto the floor.

Desi yawned again “You don’t have to stay  “

“No I don’t but I want too “ He sweetly smiled then tugged her close , wrapping his arms tightly around her

“Now sleep “

“You always give orders ? “

“Sure do . Don’t you know I’m the boss man “

“Well then I can’t piss off the boss man now can I ? Wouldn’t want the stink eye. “

Jon let out a hearty chuckle “You know ‘bout that huh ? “

“Duh of course I do “ Desi snickered then she grew serious “ Thank you for everything “

“I told you before no need to thank me “ He replied, lifting her chin and placed a light kiss on her lips.
“But “

“No  buts - now sleep “ Jon gently ordered.

Desi nodded as her eyes closed If this was a dream please don’t ever let me  wake up .Was the last thought that entered her mind once sleep claimed her.

Chapter 8

Desi’s eyes widened .  Fuck Me ! He is kissing me ! Her mind was spinning a million different directions,as her lips responded to his sweet kisses that were quickly becoming more passionate by the second. She should really stop this but for the life of her she couldn’t pull away. God I have to be dreaming because no way he would really be kissing me . Would he ? Someone pinch me !

Jon smiled inwardly. Now this is more like it. Not that he had planned on kissing her but she was so infuriatingly stubborn and her lips were so inviting, so what the hell ? Taking the chance , he snaked his arms around her and continued the sweet onslaught of her lips.God she felt good in his arms . Her skin was so soft - soft as baby . It had been awhile since he had felt the urge to kiss a woman like this - sure he had plenty of times on stage but this was different. Not since his divorce , had he really cared enough too. Til now

All her resolve melted the moment he pulled her into his embrace .  He could ask her to go to the moon and she would readily agree. She returned his kisses in desperate need while her arms encircled around his neck. If this was a dream please don’t let me wake up.

He pulled away reluctantly from her lips to gently grasp her face , tilting her head and placed sweet kisses down to her shoulder.. “Desi you taste so good “ He growled his voice vibrating near her ear causing her to shiver.

A slight moan of contentment escaped Desi’s lips and as much as she wanted this to go further, she couldn’t let it.  If he sees . She fought to catch her breath, her heart was racing  “I think - we should stop “

“Why baby ? You seem to be enjoying it as much as I am “ Jon replied huskily while he hooked the neck of her shirt with his finger , widening it so he could nibble on her shoulder blade.

“Because - I -  “ Desi answered breathlessly - In truth she had no good reason why to stop other than her problems - which she couldn’t tell him about .

“Because you what ? “ Jon asked as he stole a peek of her small but perky breasts hidden behind a black lace bra underneath her shirt.

Desi couldn’t think not while he was kissing her like this  “Um- I just I - well shit “  she stumbled her brain all foggy with desire .

Jon continued his onslaught , nibbling on her shoulder then back up to her earlobe “ I know you like this  “ he whispered in ear “ So tell me why you want to stop . You’re not married are you ? “

A deep laugh escaped her lips “No not anymore “

“Well then there is no reason not to continue. Now is there ? “ Jon huskily replied as he tugged gently on her lobe.

God he keeps this up and I won’t be able to say no  but no matter how much she tried she couldn’t come up with a valid reason to stop - at least one he would accept anyway. “No I guess not “ as she succumbed to his advances , her arms slid away from his neck to the front of his button down shirt , her hands shook from a mixture of excitement and nervousness as she slowly unbuttoned his shirt , revealing his soft gray hair that she loved so much.

Jon smiled , gently tugging on her hair to bring her lips to his again “ No more talking “ his hands slid down to the bottom of her shirt , pulling back away from her delectable lips long enough to remove her shirt . His smile grew wider as his eyes gazed over her small breasts that were tucked away in her lacy black bra.   He reached around and with a simple flick the bra joined the shirt in a pile on the floor.

Desi swallowed hard , there was no backing out now . She just prayed he didn’t notice her scars and bruises that covered her elbows.  She reached slowly removed his shirt then tentatively ran her hands over his incredible chest .God he's beautiful and his chest the six pack was even more enticing in person than in pictures.

A deep growl escaped Jon’s lips , when her hands roamed across his chest . Oh hell her hands felt so good -so soft. He placed his hands a top of hers , bringing them to his lips then sweetly kissed them. Damn they were so tiny,almost fragile like he was afraid to squeeze them too tightly.

He stood then gently pulled her up to join him then releasing one of her hands to slide his arm around her waist to help her into her bedroom.

Desi was shaking . Part of her wanted this so badly ,her body practically ached for it  but the other part was scared of his reaction and needed to put a stop to this now .

Jon closed the door behind them then noticed she was shaking ,pulling her into a hug he whispered in her ear “ No need to be scared baby “ while softly stroking her hair .

“I’m not scared - well maybe a little but not for any reason you might think “ Desi softly whispered.

“Tell me “ Jon encouraged as he guided her to the bed then sat down beside her. His hand still softly caressing her hair .

Desi nervously chewed on her bottom lip, Oh hell what do I do now ? Sitting here bare breasted beside the man of my dreams and I’m being a chicken shit . What the fuck ?  If you want him go for it . Worry about the rest later . When is this opportunity gonna happen again ? “Nothin’ just a bit nervous is all but can we turn the light out . Please ? “

Jon arched an eyebrow  knowing there was more to it just nerves . He hadn’t been around the block with women to know she was hiding something but for now he would let it drop.  Why did it matter ? What is it about this girl that’s got him doing and saying things he hadn’t in years. After his divorce , he threw himself into his work , sex wasn’t even a part of the equation anymore ok that’s a lie . He had his ‘friends’ when he needed a quick relief but those sad brown eyes and her sweet nature had him rethinking his plans. Damn the boys would think he was insane , He just fucking met her for fuck’s sake ! And she was a fan . Jesus !  Maybe he was going insane or was it the wine - maybe he is becoming that wino after all. He just came to see if she was okay , now he was in her bedroom . He should just get up and leave but those damned eyes - what is it about her ?  “Sure baby “ was all he could say as he helped her into bed once she was in bed he made his way to the other side of the bed and flicked the light off.

Chapter 7

Jon sauntered down the long hallway , silently reading off the numbers of the rooms as he passed each by til he reached 211.  He didn’t know what compelled him at this late hour to check on her but it was so damned important.  All evening he had been haunted by those sad brown eyes , and bright auburn hair. So much so it shocked him . Sure  gorgeous women  would catch his  eye  every night on stage but there was something about this girl -well woman that he just couldn’t shake.Was he attracted to her ? Or was it because it was the good Samaritan in him that couldn’t let it go til he saw she was okay.

In his mind he tried to rattle off excuses why that may have been , one being she was injured and he would have to be a cold hearted son of a bitch if he wouldn’t at least show some compassion.  He chuckled to himself. Who am I fooling? I am a cold hearted son of a bitch at times!

Standing outside her door , he raked his hand through his hair before giving a light tap . He heard some rustling then a small voice called out “ Who is it ? “

“It’s Jon “ Jon answered back

She slowly opened the door , her heart pounding so hard she thought it was going to explode out of her chest .  “Hi “  was all she could muster while her eyes took in the sight before her . He looked incredible in his infamous black jeans to his dark blue shirt, which was half unbuttoned giving her a nice glimpse of silver hair that covered his chest, then there was his hair. God! What she wouldn’t give to be able to run her fingers through his blond tresses.

After a few moments of silence , Jon spoke amusement coating his voice  “May I come in or you want to stand here and talk? “ His gaze floated over her appearance , she was still wearing the black baby tee and hip hugger jeans, which fit her like a glove.  He shifted a bit , his own jeans growing tighter each passing moment his eyes remained fixated on her .Stop it! Dumbass  you didn’t come to get laid . You came to see how she was doing. He scolded himself.

His lighthearted teasing broke her trance  “Oh yes please come in “ she stepped away , opening the door wider so he could walk in. Oh for Fuck’s sake , Desi get a grip!

Jon stepped inside ,  glanced around the suite. “Nice room you have here “

Desi couldn’t help but chuckle “ I’m sure compared to where you stay in its a dump “

 “Well it is quite nice but mines still better “ His eyes twinkled with orneriness and a cheesy grin spread across his mouth.

“Care for a drink ? “ Desi asked while she lead him into the living area.

“Let me get it for you. Shouldn't you be resting that leg? “ His eyes darted down to her injured calf.

Desi nodded “Probably , But you’re my guest “

“No no you sit . Just point me in the right direction “ Jon insisted

“In the kitchen, I believe there is a bottle of wine there. Probably not what you’re used to . Actually not sure what kind it is . It was comped with the suite.“ she winked “I’ll take a Pepsi though “ picking up her packet of medication and shook it “ pain pills and alcohol don’t mix well  “

“No I guess it doesn’t “ He laughed then headed into the kitchen pulling out two glasses then reached in the fridge for the wine then glanced at the label. “This is a pretty good vintage actually“ he said with a twinkle in his eye.  He poured himself a glass of wine and opened a can of Pepsi and poured into her glass.

He carried the glasses back into living room , handing her a glass. Desi scooted over to make room. Jon then sat down , carefully moving her injured leg to rest on his thigh.

After accepting her glass, she took a sip then spoke. “ Thank you “
“Anytime “ He smiled “ So how’s the leg doin’? “

“Oh its still there “ she grinned ‘ Really its fine thanks to the pills , does hurt a bit without, but nothin’ I haven’t been through before. Unfortunately I’m gonna have a nice scar . It took 15 stitches to close it.”

“Fifteen you gotta be fuckin’ kidding me ?! “Jon exclaimed.  He had heard it was bad but not that bad.

She shook her head “Nope, no big deal really. “ Desi couldn’t believe just how relaxed she was with him, she had expected to be all giddily stupid around him.  Ana would be shocked to see me like this , Hell I’m shocked . Maybe its the pain pills .

Jon flicked up an eyebrow “ No big deal ! How can you say that ? “

She shrugged  ‘It’s just isn’t. That’s all “ taking another sip of her soda.  “I’m the Queen of Clumsy actually.. Accidents seem to find me “ she tried to joke not sure if it was more for herself as for him.  “So how was the show ? “

Jon noticed the quick change of subjects, not wanting to press her but still curious , he made a note to find out more about This Mysterious Desiree “ It was good. Once the rain stopped. Though have to admit a good soaking rain would have felt good by the end “

“That’s good too bad I missed it “ Desi responded, disappointment coating her voice .

“I’m sorry too. “ Jon paused for a moment, taking a drink of his wine “ I was thinking maybe there is a way . I could make it up to you “

Desi nearly spit her soda , her mind immediately headed for Gutterville  Oh I can name more than few things you could do,but she quickly shook away the naughty thoughts .“ No no you don’t have to do that . You have done quite enough really”

Jon scoffed “What ? A ride from the hospital and paying the bill . Shit that ain’t nothin’ “

“And that’s plenty “ Desi insisted , her stubbornness quickly showing.

‘No its not . No use in arguing with me , Miss Desiree. I can be one pigheaded son of bitch “ He smirked “ Where’s your seat for Saturday’s show ? “

With a slight roll of her eyes , she answered “ I think front row on Richie’s side and call me Desi please ? “

“Okay then Desi . You can’t be down front not with your leg like that so we need to figure something out for you . Somewhere safer “

You mean safer like your lap. Shit Desi stop it !  Desi glanced away and frowned. Be serious now !  If you allow this then you’ll be nothing but that  charity case you’ve fought so hard not to be ! “Seriously I’ll be OK where I’m at . I’m used to being careful “

Jon leaned towards her , gently cupped her face turning her to look at him “ Why not ? You know there will be shoving and all its gonna take is just one person to re-injure your leg “

She struggled not to get lost in those baby blues but it was so hard not too  , letting out a deep frustrating sigh , she answered “ Its hard to explain and I’m sure you don’t wanna hear about it “

“I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t “ Jon replied with a sweet smile.  He could tell there was definitely more to this than just a mere cut - wondering if she would trust him enough to tell him . There a sadness that coated her beautiful brown eyes and it tugged at his heart . Fuck! Why did it matter so much!  She said no so that should be it . Shouldn’t it ? 

Desi clinched her eyes shut .Why is he being so insistent about this ? Why can’t he let it drop?  And why for once just accept kindness and see its not pity ? 

After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, Desi spoke “ Jon , I’m thankful you want to do this for me but I just can’t accept it “

“And why not? “ He asked persistently

“Because I worked hard for this ticket and I can’t just throw it away simply because I got hurt “ Desi adamantly answered. It was a piss poor excuse but it was some what of the truth , she had worked hard to save up for this trip .

Jon let out a frustrated sigh “ Ok instead of tossing away your ticket. How’s about a free upgrade compliments from the boss man himself “ He winked “ C’mon you can’t say you wouldn’t want to sit on the stage “

Desi thought over his offer . On stage when would she get this opportunity again ? He wasn’t going to give up til she did . So just this once wouldn’t hurt ? Would it ?  “A’right but just this once” she said with resignation.

“I thought for a moment I would have to resort to desperate measures to get you to agree “ Jon chorted

“Like what ? “ Desi asked curiously

“Like this “ Jon leaned in and pressed his lips to hers.

Chapter 6

Jon had been pacing the long corridor , worried about how the weather was going to effect the show. Would they have to cancel? He prayed not .That would have been a first in their long history of shows but the safety of his fans came first.  Then it got back to him that there had been an injured fan , so he had to go find out how bad and what exactly happened.  He reached the door and listened as the girl told her story. He heard her refuse the help they were offering , insisting she was fine. Well if she got hurt at one of his shows , they were gonna see to it she was taken care off.

Desi glanced up and gazed nervously into those blue eyes , OH God its him !  No !  Please don’t see my legs! she hurriedly tugged at  the blanket , making sure her knees were covered.

Jon noticed with each step he took the more nervous she became.  At first he thought it was because of who he was but no this was different, she kept tugging on the blanket as if she didn’t want him to see her injury. It couldn’t be that bad ? Could it ?  he wondered  “I won’t bite . Honest” he smiled trying to ease her fears.

“It’s not that “ Desi answered quietly.  scooting further back on the cot.

“Then tell me ? “ Jon found a stool and scooted it near her .

“It’s just that you don’t need to go to all this trouble . I’m clumsy!  it happens all the time “ She admitted.

“Now I can’t believe that someone stepping on the back of your leg is your fault ? “

“Well no but I just happen to get hurt alot is all .So there is no reason for you all to pay for something I can do myself . “ Desi insisted

“Why don’t you let me worry about what I should and shouldn't pay for hmmm . You go get fixed up and we’ll take care of the rest. No more arguing ‘bout it either “

Desi frowned Great just great ! Now he sees me as a charity case.  Way to go Desiree!  Before she could argue anymore the EMT’’s entered the room with the gurney . “Do I have to get on that?”

“Yes Ma’am I’m sorry its procedure. “ The one man responded .

She groaned then grasped the blanket tightly before she stood . Jon reached for her “Hey take it easy let someone help you.  Stubborn lil thing aren’t you?“ he winked while gently guiding her to the gurney.

Desi, though grateful for his kindness, was still a bit uneasy with his being close to her but reluctantly let him lead her to gurney where she settled in while they fastened the straps securely across her.  “Thank you “ she smiled

Jon returned her smile “ Na, no need for thanks , gladly help out a pretty lady . Now go get fixed up”

Desi smiled again as they started to wheel her out , Jon called out “ Wait , I know you’re staying at the Hilton but what room ? I wanna check on you later -- that is if you’re not still sitting at the hospital “ He bantered

She rolled her eyes. Definitely she was in for a long night . Hospital visits usually were. “You want my room number ? “ she asked incredulously

“Well yea, how else am I gonna see how you’re doing? “ Jon chuckled

Desi debated for a moment , it wasn’t like he wanted to have sex with her or anything so what would it hurt besides how could she really say no to JON BON JOVI .  “True “ she laughed “ 211”

‘Ok then Desiree will see you in a few hours “ He winked .

She nodded then turned to face the doorway while the two men pushed her out and into an awaiting ambulance.



Several hours later , Desi wearily unlocked her door , kicking it with her good leg shut then slowly limped over to couch . She tossed her purse on the coffee table and collapsed on the couch, resting her leg on the coffee table. It was a long night to say the least.  Not surprising she missed the show.  Waiting to be seen , waiting for xrays for cautionary reasons , waiting for for the doctor to read the xrays - knowing they would show nothing - waiting for the doctor to come back to suture her leg , waiting for the paperwork and a couple packets of pain pills to last til she could get to a pharmacy and fill a prescription - Where the hell she was going to do that? In a city she had never been to before now was beyond her . Thank god she had the patience of a saint,  though one thing that always pushed the boundaries of her patience was when they- meaning the doctors wanted their residents to come have a ‘peek’ at her , God ! Did she feel like a guinea pig or worse an animal being gawked at in the zoo.

Once they finished with they’re poking and prodding , she was released and much to her surprise there was a black Lincoln waiting to whisk her away back to her hotel .

The only bright spot in this whole mess was she had gotten to meet Jon , for only a few moments but still it cause a smile to spread across her face.  He had mentioned about wanting to stop by to check on her but -- she glanced at her watch and frowned “ It’s too late and besides he was just probably trying to be nice “

She took another quick glance  at her watch.“I should call Ana “ reaching in her purse and pulled out her phone then flipped it open, 5 voice mails were flashing “Shit , she is gonna freak when I tell her “  Just as she was about to hit speed dial , her hotel phone rang .

With a resounding groan, she stood up and walked into the bedroom to answer the phone.

“Hello ? “

“Hi Is this Desiree? “ Jon asked

Desi’s eyes widened , her mouth agape  , she knew that voice anywhere  OH Hell ! He did remember! GOD dumb ass say something “ Uh, yea it is “ she replied praying she didn’t sound as nervous as she felt.

Jon smiled “Good . Was afraid I might have gotten your room number mixed up “

“No its me , home safe and sound “ Desi lightly teased.”Well at least my home for the next couple more days anyway “

Jon chuckled “Yea, I know what you’re saying there . “ he paused “I was wondering if its not too late if you minded if I stopped by . Just to see if you’re okay “

Desi started to say he didn’t have to but stopped herself “ Sure “

“Ok good , see you in a few then “ Jon replied

“Ok  bye “ Desi hung up the phone , “OH fuck! He’s coming to my room ! “ she did a quick glance around to make sure she didn’t have a disaster of a room  “What the fuck you worried about , Desi ? He’s not coming into your bedroom . “

She hobbled back over to the mirror , running her fingers thru her hair  “You’ve looked worse Des . Besides he just being friendly is all . “

After one last look in the mirror , she limped back into the living room to await for the man who had crept into her dreams for the past twenty plus years.
