The nightmare pulled her from sleep and she fought against the arms that held her."Shh, love. It's okay."The bathroom light blinked on and she could see Matt standing in front of the door. Stephon held her tightly to his chest with one arm and ran his free hand through her hair. His fingers massaged her scalp and she managed to get her breathing under control."Sorry."Matt walked back across the room and sat beside her. "Don't be. While we're gone, let Angela sleep in here with you. No arguing." He put two fingers on her lips when she started to protest. "We'll never get any sleep over the weekend if we think you're alone at night."She shook her head and drowsiness flooded her brain. Matt turned off the light and then she felt him slip back beneath the covers. His arms came over her and she snuggled her back further into Stephon so she could feel both men holding her at the same time. Feeling safe, she drifted back to sleep.The phone woke them up. It was their wakeup call.She cou

Stephon leaned his head back against the headrest and tried to let the gentle rhythm of the plane's engines soothe him. "You know this is going to be the worst tour of our life. Thank God it's only three days.""I knew you'd love her." Matt never minded rubbing it in when he was right."Do you think she can love us both?""I do. She bounces back fast. The attack on her yesterday would have most people hiding in a closet. She cried and went through a small crisis period, but then pulled herself together. I wanted her to find out about us in a slightly different way, but somehow this worked. She finds you sexy and no longer feels guilty about it.""You find me sexy too.""Here we go again. I think the next time you need a whipping session I'll practice up and do the honors. One way or another I want to redden your ass."Stephon pulled in a deep breath. "That's really the problem I'm having. She's got some kink, but she's mostly a vanilla girl. How do you think she'll handle my need

Rehearsal went well. They played a few tunes, but only to test microphones and electrical equipment. The day dragged and both he and Matt were impatient to get the weekend over with. They loved their fans and if it wasn't for the attack on Jewel they'd have managed to leave her without their hearts feeling this heavy. Stephon worried about her having nightmares. He knew Angela would hold her, but he wanted Jewel to lie between him and Matt so they could offer comfort. He wasn't used to feelings of possessiveness with women, but with Jewel, he didn't even want another woman in bed with her.They checked in at their hotel, tried to rest, and then met in Krispin's room before they were scheduled to head back to the coliseum."Have you spoken with Jewel?" Krispin asked.Matt lounged on the floor holding his guitar. "After we landed. We told her we'd call tonight when we get back to the room. We're hoping she takes a nap today so she'll be awake.""She'll be up. They probably won't even

On Sunday night, Jewel knew she was returning to work the following day and called Starla. "Yes, I'm sure. My face is still a delightful wreck, but seriously I need to be working. If you don't think I'll scare the customers away, I'm coming in tomorrow.""Having a rich boyfriend should keep your mind off work for a little longer."Jewel decided to go for broke. "I have two rich boyfriends."Silence."Starla?""I'm digesting what you said. Give me a minute.""I might be in love." Just saying the "L" word made her feel better. She hadn't slept with Stephon, but it didn't matter."Oh, Jewels. I'm not sure what to think. I saw the news and put two and two together." Starla laughed with her gravely vocal cords. "Or maybe I should say one and one. They're damn hot."Jewel sighed with relief. "You have no idea.""Come back to work tomorrow, but take advantage of a hotel car.""I can do that. The guys won't be too happy with me, but my agreement was for the weekend."More laughter. "You know k

Stephon pushed on her legs so they swung around and her feet touched the floor. "I want you to walk over and position yourself." His hands propelled her upward. "We won't force you."Jewel looked over her shoulder into his uncompromising gaze and then to Matt who had a slight twinkle in his eyes. She promised he could spank her and now it was time to pay the piper even if the circumstances were slightly altered. Both men sported stiff erections, and for some reason the fact that this turned them on gave her the courage to stand and walk over to their impromptu spanking bench. Looking down at the plush seat caused more fluid to pool between her legs, and with a deep breath she knelt down and lowered her chest onto the soft material. Her head came slightly over the side, but she was still able to rest her cheek comfortably against the cushion."Spread you knees for Matt, love."Chills ran up her spine, but her legs separated and she wondered if Matt would touch her first or if Stephon
