Rhiannon's POV
Me and Josh left the venue pretty soon after the conversation we had in my workroom. Every time I would look over to him, he'd already be staring at me. When we had first met if I caught him staring he would always blush and turn away, but now he would just keep his eyes on me. This man had just admitted to falling in love with me. He didn't say 'I love you' but he might as well have. I didn't really know how to feel about it. I knew I liked him, a lot, but did I love him? I know he wasn't expecting me to say it back or anything of the sort, but I knew it had to make him a least a little sad I didn't reciprocate. I did say that I liked him a lot which is the truth, I just needed more time to figure out if it was love. I was snapped out of my thoughts by his voice,
"Would you like me to order food, or shall we get room service?" Josh asked as he rested his hand on my leg in the car.
"Lets get back to the room and then we can decide." I replied, knowing we probably wouldn't be eating for a while. Josh nodded as the car pulled up to the hotel. He got out and ran around the back of the car to open my door for me, "So chivalrous." I said dramatically as he put his hand out to help me get out of the car.
"Always," He said kissing my hand and bowing, I smiled at how silly he is sometimes. He grabbed my bag out of the trunk of the car and we walked up stairs. We got to the room and Josh walked directly to the bathroom to look at his nose in the mirror.
"No wonder that uber driver gave me a crazy look, why didn't you tell me I had blood all down my chin and neck." He laughed, "It doesn't look crooked does it?" He asked turning his head, I grabbed his face and inspected it.
"I don't think so, but it is pretty swollen so I can't really tell." when his eyes left his reflection they landed on me, and we both smiled softly back to one another. I reached past him and turned the shower on. "Give me your shirt so I can get the blood out while you take a shower."
"How are you going to do that?" he asked as he took his shirt off.
"Hydrogen peroxide, works like a charm." I went to my work bag and grabbed a bottle while I heard Josh slip into the shower. I didn't want to risk staining the clothes I was wearing so I quickly changed into shorts and a tank top. I walked back into the bathroom and turned on the sink. I started to get the stains out when I heard movement behind me. I turned my head to see Josh peeking his upper body out of the shower, twisting a towel, a mischievous grin growing on his face when he realized I had caught him. My hands were still working the stain on his shirt,
"Joshua, don't you dare." I said smiling as I tried to get my hands dry, but before I knew it I heard the popping sound of the towel as it snapped against my ass. I yelped and turned to Josh, who quickly ducked back into the shower as he burst into laughter. I grabbed the hand towel off the counter and ripped open the shower curtain, Josh stared back at me with wide eyes but a smile still spread on his face. "You think I'd let you get away with that Kiszka." I said as I snapped the towel at him, he turned quickly and it made contact with his cute little butt. I laughed as he winced and pulled away, he faced away from me and looked back over his shoulder,
"Ok! Ok! You got me back, I surrender," He said as he saw me starting to twist the towel again, I raised my arm back to snap the towel again but he turned, grabbing my arm and pulling me into the shower with him, clothes and all.
"Josh! this was my last clean pair of Pj's!" I shoved him playfully as he held me under the water, I looked to see that you could already see my skin through my white shirt as it got soaked and stuck to my body,
"I mean, technically they are still clean, this is just water," he smiled as I gave him a faux annoyed look, "And since you are here, you might as well take a shower with me now." He smirked as he rested his hands on my hips. I rolled my eyes as I nodded in agreement. He slowly raised my shirt over my head. He pulled me close, pressing our bare chests together. He brushed the strands of wet hair from my face gently before pulling me into a soft kiss. He slowly backed me into the wall of the shower, the kisses getting more passionate every second that passed. I could feel his hardness rubbing against my thigh. I reached down, grabbing it and pumping as his kisses and love bites moved to my neck, his hand cupping my breast, the other on my ass through my shorts. I started to move to my knees but Josh stopped me, "Uh uh, you first this time." He said between kisses. He sank to his knees and slowly slid off my shorts. He looked up to me once they were off, seeking permission. I nodded and watched as he lifted one of my legs and draped it over his shoulder, kissing the inside of my thigh as he did. I used one hand to steady myself and had the other already tangled in Josh's hair. I took in a sharp breath as his mouth made contact with my clit. A string of moans left my lips as he started flickering his tongue, my hips buckled slightly at the sensation causing Josh to smirk before returning his attention to my heat, sliding in two fingers as he still worked my clit with his tongue. I could feel the knot forming in my lower stomach as I gripped his hair tighter causing him to moan against me, causing me to come undone. Josh removed my leg from his shoulder as he slowly stood, "Mmm so sweet baby," He said as he licked his fingers. I reached down once again taking him into my hand. His forehead fell to my shoulder as I started pumping my hand, twisting my wrist every so often. He raised his head and started kissing me as I continued, I moved my mouth to his neck, feeling the vibrations as he moaned, "I'm close," He said in a throaty moan as he put his arm out bracing himself against the wall, I quickly dropped to my knees, taking him into my mouth, bobbing my head a couple of times before I felt him release down the back of my throat. Josh reached down, offering his hand to help me stand.
"You literally never cease to amaze me," He said breathily with a smile,
"You're pretty talented yourself," I said as I ran my thumb over his bottom lip, He blushed and looked away briefly
"I'm glad you think so," He replied, pulling me closer, kissing me on the forehead
"Let's actually shower now, I am starving." I said as I pushed past him into the water,
"I've already showered so I'll get out and order the food." He said stepping out, "What do you want?"
"Surprise me, I'm not picky." I said as I started to shampoo my hair,
"Will do." He said as he walked out. I finished my shower and wrapped in my towel. I stepped out in the room to see Josh sitting in a chair in his briefs, situating the food from room service on the small table in the room. I went over and looked at the food.
"Josh this is so much food!"
"Well, I wasn't sure what you'd like so I got a little of everything." He said motioning to the food.
"Why are you so sweet?" I asked as I leaned over him from behind, kissing his cheek as he smiled. I walked over to my suitcase and dug out a t-shirt and pair of panties. I placed my towel on the back of the chair and started to put on the shirt and panties.
"I get to watch you wear this the rest of the night?" He asked raising his eyebrows as I sauntered back over to the table. I sat in his lap, grabbing a fry off of the plate on the table,
"Well, I had pajamas on, but someone got them soaking wet." I said as I put the fry in my mouth.
"Thats right, how unfortunate." He smirked as he rubbed his hand along my thigh, I rolled my eyes and went to my own chair. We both ate our dinner before deciding to watch a movie before Josh headed back to the bus. We layed cuddled up. I had my head on Josh's chest and my leg draped over his lap. He had his arm around me, rubbing my back occasionally.
"Do you mind if I have a closer look at that?" He asked almost startling me, I had almost drifted off in the security and warmth of his arms.
"Hm?" I asked,
"Your tattoo" He pointed to my hip, "Do you mind if I take a closer look."
"Of course not, go ahead" I said rolling on my side, he moved to his stomach as he gently moved my panties out of the way so he could see the full tattoo,
"Does it mean anything particular or did you just like it?" He asked still intently looking at the swirls and knots that made the shape of 3 birds.
"It actually does, would you like to know?" I asked returning to sitting, leaning back on my hands.
"If you'd like to tell me, I'd love to know." Josh said as he layed his head on my thigh, looking up at me with curious eyes. I loved how genuinely interested he was in everything about me.
"Well, I know a lot of people know the name Rhiannon from the song, but the song was based after the welsh goddess named Rhiannon. And the legend of Rhiannon says that she had 3 birds that followed her around, and the birds had healing powers. So after my assault as cliche as it sounds, I wanted a tattoo, kind of like the healing process, I guess? And the birds seemed like a perfect fit." I shrugged as I played with Josh's curls.
"That is very fitting," he said as he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as my fingertips massaged his scalp.
"Babe, you can't fall asleep."
"Of course I can," He said with his eyes still closed
"Don't you have to get back to the bus?"
"Well it shouldn't leave until the morning. And worst-case scenario It leaves without me and I will just ride with the crew. There is an empty spot now since Nick is gone." He opened his eyes and laughed.
"I still cannot believe you did that for me." I giggled, Josh sat up
"Of course I did. He was doing everything in his power to come after you and make your life harder. I would never let him get away with that, not to you." he said seriously, "I know you can take care of yourself, you've made that very clear," he paused smiling, "But even people who can take care of themselves could use a break sometimes."
"I can take care of myself, and I will admit that I hate asking for help, but being taken care of for once does feel nice." I admitted, "It doesn't happen often because people assume what you said, that I can take care of myself so why would I want help. But of course, you looked right past that and take care of me anyways." I smiled as I grabbed his hand,
"And I always will," He said. I felt my heart swell as he leaned in and gently kissed me.
"So are you staying the night?" I asked as I pulled the comforter over myself.
"I'd love to, if you want me to." He said waiting for a reply,
"Yes Josh, you shouldn't even have to ask" I smiled as I patted the bed next to me, he grinned as he crawled under the covers snuggling up to me.
