I Hate the Way...

Part 59: "Don't Blame Me" 🔞

Josie nearly misses a beat, her heart skipping as she pushes through the end of the song.

As she finishes, the crowd's cheers are deafening, and Josie takes a moment to soak it all in, her chest heaving with exhilaration, not just from the performance, but from her wife as well.

She looks from the crowd to Hope to MG and the band, and after one last wave to the crowd, she takes a step back to give the band the recognition they deserve.

But, the crowd goes even wilder when Josie then turns and begins jogging toward the backstage area, and Hope takes a couple of steps to meet her and greet her with a kiss.

As soon as Josie reaches her, she wraps her arms around Hope's neck, pulling her in for a deep, passionate kiss, though she's pretty sure at least some people in the audience can still see them.

Confirming her thoughts, the crowd's cheers reach a fever pitch, and the sound of their approval resonated throughout the entire venue.

Hope's hands find Josie's waist, and for a moment, it's just the two of them in their own world, the music, the crowd, and the stage fading away.

When they finally break apart, both are breathless, and Josie grins widely.

"You're amazing," Hope tells her, barely loud enough to be heard over the crowd, looking between Josie's eyes and her lips.

"So are you," Josie replies genuinely. Then, she smirks, leaning in to whisper in Hope's ear, "What do you say we get out of here and celebrate properly?"

Hope eyes glint with mischief and affection, her own signature smirk appearing on her lips, "Need some more inspiration?"

Josie nods, taking her lip between her teeth as she responds flirtatiously, "Think you can help with that?"

Hope's smirk turns into a grin, sliding her hands from Josie's waist to the small of her back, pulling her closer, "You know I can, love."

Josie's smile widens, feeling the heat rise between them. She presses another kiss to Hope's lips before reluctantly pulling away. She glances over her shoulder at the band and MG, some of whom are looking towards the couple knowingly, amused as they shake their heads as Josie points towards the exit, signaling that she is leaving.

MG gives her the 'ok' signal with his hand, already chuckling as Josie grabs Hope's hand and begins dragging her toward the exit.

As soon as the door closes behind them, Josie turns to Hope, gasping as her lips are suddenly captured in a deep, passionate kiss. The brunette responds eagerly, moaning greedily into the kiss as her fingers tangle in Hope's hair, her other hand gripping tightly at the collar of the Tribrid's shirt before her fingers begin to pluck at the buttons.

Hope pushes Josie back against the door roughly. She grips Josie's waist tighter, making Josie's back arch from the door just enough for Hope's fingers to find the zipper of her outfit, tugging it downward until it finally pools at her feet on the ground. Hope, then, hoists Josie up by her ass, letting the brunette wrap her legs securely around her waist.

Between kisses, Josie breathes out against Hope's lips, "I have—an interview tomorrow—You're coming with me."

Hope pulls away from Josie's lips just enough that Josie gets an unveiled glimpse of her darkened eyes, full of lust. And Hope husks out lowly, "Not yet. But I will be."

Their kisses grow more greedily as their heads roll and turn against one another. When Josie has to pull away for air, Hope bites her bottom lip, tugging slightly before kissing at the column of Josie's throat as the brunette throws her head back against the door and begins tugging Hope lower toward her breasts.
