There was a farewell party for Ecco and his team who were leaving for Aspen, and for Logan and Nathan who were rejoining their student group.
Nathan wowed them all by singing the song 'Mirrors', and Logan did a stand up routine with Jörg which had people crying with laughter.
Then Chéri came on and danced. Chéri danced in a fluid and breathtaking way. He moved with grace and elegance, in a way that almost wrapped the music around him.
In dance, Chéri could do incredible things. Tell a story with each delicate motion and touch the emotions and heart of any onlooker, as he moved in a way which no man or woman, would normally be able to.
Lennon looked on from the side of the room, and smiled to himself, seeing his beutiful creature unleashed and in his element, silencing the room and making people hold their breath with excitement.
Chéri nearly defied science with his graceful moves, seemingly dancing on air, and it had a hugely profound effect on Lennon. He felt a longing for Chéri which never seemed to be quenched unless they were deep in the throes of passion. These feelings also stirred a huge lust within Lennon that he found hard to control. But, over all, Lennon considered himself lucky to have met Chéri randomly, and wanted nothing more than to be his husband, and plan the rest of their lives together.
"Wow.. I've never seen Mozart dance.. he's gifted." Nathan said to Lennon as he watched Chéri, "Lenn...? Lenn?"
"'Mozart'...is everything." Lennon said flatly while he never took his eyes of Chéri, who ran off stage after his performance, and started to laugh hysterically in the back as he continued drinking.
Logan shook his head, "I feel he's far too...camp for my likin', and there's this weird air of corruption around him all the time. He acts like an uncontrollable child."
"Just as well you're goin' home then." Lennon said as he looked forward, "Chéri's childish vulgarity only makes me love him more..." Lennon said flatly.
"You've changed, Lennon." Logan said.
Lennon continued to stare forward, "I haven't changed. I've died many deaths, and now it's time to live. The man you knew died in England." Lennon said, as he walked off to look for Chéri, and Nathan looked back in shock.
Logan turned to Nathan, "God, Lenn's changed beyond recognition! And if momma ever saw him dressed like that with all them weapons.."
"I somehow don't think that the Lennon we knew could have survived here." Nathan said.
Lennon walked into the backstage area to see Chéri undressing as his handlers held drinks and fresh clothes.
"Cher..?" Lennon said as he watched Chéri all excited.
"Lenny!" Chéri said as he got up and danced around Lennon while taking occasional sips of his champagne, and wearing little more than a short silk dressing gown.
Lennon smiled, "Cher! Are you drunk?"
"Yes!" Cheri answered cheerfully.
Lennon smiled as he watched Chéri dance around him a moment more, "Cher...?" He asked lovingly.
"Yes, Lenny?" Chéri said as he span around in front of Lennon, before throwing off his little silk robe which left himself naked except for thick jewellery around his neck and wrist. Chéri's handlers looked away awkwardly.
Lennon grabbed Chéri's arm as he looked down upon Chéri's emaciated and feminine body.
"Mmm...do you like what you see, Lenny?" Chéri asked as he started to undo Lennon's belt.
"Oohh yes." Lennon said softly.
"And what about, what you don't see?" Chéri asked as he squatted down in front of Lennon and pulled his cock out from his trousers, and started to lick him.
"I love that too..." Lennon said as he stood wide, and then placed both hands on Chéri's head.
One of Chéri's aids coughed loudly, "Chéri, your mother and Ecco are waiting for your last performance of the evening.
There was a loud pop as Chéri freed his mouth and turned to his assistant, "Tell her I'm doing it now."
"You are already late, Chéri." The assistant said.
Lennon turned to the assistant, "Can you tell momma Dolores that Chéri is busy with me and he won't be long..." he said while he held his cock in his right hand and had his left hand resting on Chéri's head.
"I'm afraid that's not good enough. In fact, Ecco is ringing me now." The assistant said as he held out his phone to show Ecco ringing.
Chéri looked up, "I could always face time him while I'm doing this.."
"No!" Lennon said.
Chéri stood up, "Okay! I'll go out and perform! But it'll be rushed as I'm horny now!" He said as he grabbed his silk robe off the floor then just wrapped it around himself and walked straight out the dressing room and towards the event hall.
In the event hall everyone cheered as soon as Chéri appeared.
Madam Dolores and most of security facepalmed as they saw Chéri skip in, just wearing a short black silk robe.
"What the hell is Mozart wearing?" Nathan asked.
"Nothing Nate, nothing." Logan answered as Lennon walked into the main hall with Spanish security behind him.
"Mother!" Chéri called out, "want me to play you all something?" He said as he sat at the piano.
Dolores leant towards Timothée, "Is Chéri drunk?"
"I believe so..." Timothée responded.
Chéri started to play the opening notes of the Moonlight sonata with one hand as he pulled the robe off his shoulders and down. Chéri was left playing the piano completely naked, displaying the many beutiful, pastel tattoos all over his body.
Nathan tried to avert his eyes at the shocking display and degrading scene, engineered by Chéri who was playing with his hair all in disarray.
Logan turned to Javier, "Dude, I hate to tell you this but...the emperor has no clothes on."
Javier just stared at the floor and nodded.
"Why doesn't Lennon tell Mozart that this behaviour is unacceptable?" Nathan asked as everyone cheered at Chéri's ability to play the piano with one hand at times.
Logan sighed, "Well, just look at Lenn... he loves it and they enable each other. I hope Momma and Paa never find out that they're a coupla degenerates."
Javier turned slightly towards Nathan, "Even Marcel has said.. that though Chéri is spoilt and wild, it does not diminish his talent. He is the most brilliant, and gifted of all Dolores' children. But why some many talents should be gifted to someone as irresponsible as Chéri, is anyone's guess."
There was a loud cheer as Chéri finished playing the sonata, and security rushed over with a large throw before Chéri stood up.
Chéri was quickly ushered into the back by security. Lennon stepped in afterwards and nodded to the assistants and security, "I'll take it from here, thanks.."
Everyone quickly left the dressing room.
"Chéri... I was wonderin'.." Lennon said.
"Yes?"
"Can we.. fly out to the states?" Lennon asked.
"Sure, when?" Chéri asked.
Lennon looked nervous as he answered, "This afternoon."
Chéri looked at Lennon and started to laugh.
"Sweetie, my..., my Papa wants me to go home." Lennon said.
Chéri continued laughing, "Why, is it past your curfew?"
"Cher...I think, I should listen to my father." Lennon said.
"What? Are you twelve? If I listened to my dad, I'd be in jail. I dont want to fly! Anyway I'm fuckin' drunk." Chéri said before laughing.
"Baby, can you think about it? Maybe tomorrow then? You know how much Paa loves you." Lennon said.
"'Loved' me. I bet he hates me now... just like everyone else. Nobody likes me... because of what I am." Chéri said as he hung his head and started to sob.
Lennon slumped down on the sofa, "I know you're drunk... so there's no talking to you for now."
"I don't wanna talk! I want some love!" Chéri said.
Lennon smiled at Chéri, before he tapped the seat next to him, "Okay Cher, sit here with me..."
Chéri turned to Lennon with his blotchy red eyes, then started to smile, "Lenny..." Chéri started, "You have a really rapey look in your eyes.."
"That's love, Chéri! How can I ever look rapey?!" Lennon said in a really seductive, and turned on voice.
"Lenny, every time you look and sound like this, things get a lil rough... I'm drunk and I can see that..." Chéri said slickly as he wiped his tears.
"Well, you can't prance around on stage, then play the piano naked in front of staff and your family, and not expect a full service afterwards." Lennon said, trying to sound upbeat.
"Well, I'm drunk, and your over-horny, so! I have a little equaliser. Something that will cheer me up and give me some energy, and something to calm you down a little." Chéri said as he routed through his dressing table drawer.
"Ohh! What's that? I love your little sex games." Lennon said.
"Then you'll love this!" Chéri said as he took out a small bag of white powder.
Lennon raised a brow, "Cher.. I hope that's not coke.."
Chéri turned around and smiled, "Yes, but.. just one line. I have no energy and this stuff gives you a... whoosh!"
"Chéri, I gotta heart condition, and you're already taking a drug substitute." Lennon said.
"Yeah! That's why I'm only going to have one line! Come on! It makes orgasms crazy! And I wanna fuck high!" Chéri said.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Just take a small pinch up your nose, Lenny. It'll give you endurance and an insane orgasm." Chéri insisted as he pulled his robe off, "Lay on your back, Lenny."
"Honey, I don't want you to take anything.." Lennon said as he lay on his back on the sofa.
"Then you obviously dont want mind blowing sex. I'll hit a line and go play with myself..." Chéri said.
Lennon grabbed Chéri's arm, "Okay, do your line as you're gonna do it anyway."
"Take your clothes off, quickly." Chéri ordered as he cut the coke on his pocket mirror.
Lennon dropped his last piece of clothing and lay down flat on the sofa, placing his hands casually under his head.
Chéri turned around and giggled as he looked at Lennon, "You are certainly ready to fuck..."
Lennon smiled back, "I have no idea how you worked that out, Einstein. Now! Come sit on this." He said as he watched Chéri pick up the lubricant bottle.
Chéri walked over and sat ontop of Lennon and reached behind himself to hold Lennon's cock at the right angle before he slowly sat down onto it, exhaling a faint moan.
Chéri lined up a small line on Lennon's chest, leant over and snorted it. He then threw his head back and moaned loudly as it took effect. Chéri tried to line up some more, but sneezed suddenly, propelling the contents of the whole bag over Lennon, covering him in the white powder.
The door opened and Ignacio walked in, "Hey, Chéri have you... aaaand goodbye." He said before he immediately walked back out, after seeing the scene before his eyes.
Chéri giggled as he rode his lover in Rhythmic movements, "Whoops! Lenny I antiqued you by accident!"
"Ahh! My eye..."

Early the next Morning, In the large event room, Ecco had all of his designer luggage brought into the reception hall and placed with Blaine's. Next to those were the designer luggage of Bruna and their security team.
Javier walked up to Timothée, "Do you need me to take you all to the airport?"
"No, I'm taking them all, and I will also take Logan and Nathan." Timothée said.
"Okay, thank you." Javier said as he offered his hand, and Timothée shook it warmly.
"No worries, we'll be back after Christmas, and take good care of that crazy man, Marcel." Timothée said.
Javier laughed, "I try to."
Bruna walked up and tapped Javier on the shoulder, "Hav?"
"Bruna! Are you ready?" Javier asked.
"Yes.." Bruna said, glancing at Timothée a moment before turning back to Javier, "Can I speak to you a moment?"
"Sure..." Javier said as he followed her.
"I just want to say... that I'll miss you." She said as she raised her arms in hope of a hug.
Javier lent down and hugged her back.
"Hav, I wish you were coming to Aspen with us." Bruna said.
"I'm just a local guy from here. I'd be out of place at a fancy place like that. I'm a simple boy who loves paella and football." Javier said.
"And that's what I love. Kenzo explained your marriage to me. You married a Polish asset to keep her safe." Bruna said.
"Well, sort of.." Javier answered.
"You're the sweetest, bravest man here! If things ever change for you.." Bruna said nervously, but quite emotionally, "Please, look me up."
Javier just smiled shyly.
Bruna stood on her tiptoe to run her hands through his wavy hair, "By the way, grow out that deep red you have there. Leave your hair black.."
"Why is that?" Javier asked.
"Because, I love your Spanish good looks. I love tall, dark latin men." Bruna said.
"Well, I have lots of unattached team members. There's no shortage of Spanish men here." Javier said.
"Ohh Hav. Stop self-sabotaging! And take a compliment!" Bruna said, trying to hide her frustration.
"Okay.. okay." Javier relented with a smile, "Thank you, you gorgeous starlet."
"Javier!" Felipe called while snapping his fingers.
"Ohh! duty.. and the French, are calling...with that fucking fingersnapping they keep doing." Javier said before rolling his eyes adorably, "Adiós Nena."Javier said to Bruna as he kissed the top of her hand.
Bruna smiled widely and giggled, "Oohh Javier! I'll text you as soon as I get to Aspen! I'll Instagram you!" Bruna said.
At the far end of the large room, Logan was sitting on the large window seat with Coco. They were sitting close together and the front of Logan's high-waisted trousers were undone, and Coco had her hand down his front, caressing him. They were trying to be upbeat about their impending separation.
Logan was smiling widely at her as she lent into him, smiling as she tried to disguise what she was doing.
"When will you return to Spain?" Coco asked.
"As soon as I can darlin', or you can fly out to America and stay with me and my parents." Logan said.
"Would they be okay with that?" Coco asked.
"Well.. I think they kinda know that I like my women how I like my coffee... black. Actually, on second thought, with the noise you make, maybe we should get a place somewhere in town." Logan said.
Coco giggled back, "I wouldn't say that I'm the loud one, Lo." She said as they kissed.
"God, I want you to come live in the States with me!" Logan said as he kissed her neck.
"I want to! There's nothing like you here!" Coco said.
"And trust me, there ain't nothin' like you in Tennessee. You're a gorgeous, exotic...sexy, dark chocolate skinned African queen. God, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!" Logan replied as he caressed her face, "Hey, where did you get the name 'Coco'?"
"Marcel, he names most assets for their new life in the Bordello. When I arrived, he asked me.. what I want others to think of me. I told him I wanted to be seen as valued and carefree. Like one of the beutiful women in those European perfume adverts. So, he told me that my asset name will be Coco... and I loved it." Coco answered.
Meanwhile on the other end of the large reception room, Serena was in tears as Nathan held his arms around her.
"Please... dont go, Squidge." Serena cried as she held him tightly.
"Darlin', you knew I could only stay a coupla weeks." Nathan said.
"But, it's gone so fast! I just can't sleep at night without you..." Serena said.
"Cinnamon, you know I'm gonna think of you the whole time until we're back together! I'll sendja videos, and pictures of me doin' all kinds of ill advised stuff." Nathan said.
Serena held on to him tightly as she sobbed in his arms, and whispered in his ear, "I miss your body next to mine, already."
Nathan whispered back, "I sure miss layin' next to you, all natural, after makin' love. I wish I could replay this mornin' all over again, it was so beautiful."
Serena just burst into tears again.
"Can't I come with you..?" Serena asked.
"Nah Honey, because we're re-joinin' our student group, and the tickets we all got for the route back involve a few hostels. It ain't like all this luxury." Nathan said.
"I don't care! I just want to be with you!" Serena said.
"I wanna be with you, darlin'" Nathan said, "And I'll wait for you."
Meanwhile, Suzanne found Javier helping with the bags, "Hiya darling."
Javier stopped arranging the bags and leant over to kiss her, "My love, why are you wondering around here?"
"I wanted some fresh air outside. I feel a little nauseous." Suzanne said.
Javier put his arms around her, "Are you okay?"
"Yes. I just need some chilly air. I'm sure the heat in here makes me feel worse." Suzanne said.
"Okay, step outside. But! Only for a bit! I dont want you catching a cold." Javier said as he opened the door so that Suzanne could walk around the drive.
She saw Lennon chatting to Ecco, and walked up to them both.
Ecco turned to her, "Are you sure you should be out in this cold in your condition?"
"I came to speak to Lennon." She said.
Lennon looked at Ecco, "A moment please." He said as he walked off with Suzanne, while looking around for Javier.
"Suzy, I worry about you and the baby in this cold. It's looking like its tryin' to snow darlin'." Lennon said.
"I know, I know. I've hardly had a moment alone with you since we returned." Suzanne said.
Lennon looked around, "Probably because you live with your husband now. How is family life then?"
"Really good. Javier treats Lena as his own. He can't wait for the baby to get here..." Suzanne said.
Lennon sighed as he put his arm around Suzanne's shoulders, "Darlin'... You ain't gonna like.. cut me out of Lena and the baby's life, are you?"
"What do you mean?" Suzanne asked.
"Well... Because Lena loves me, and I love her. And... when the babys here, and older, will I get to take them out places. Get to know them at least?" Lennon asked.
"Nothing would make me happier, Wonda." Suzanne answered.
The was the sounds of voices in the massive drive. "Go inside darlin', now." Lennon said as he turned around when he heard the sounds of his brothers outside.
Suzanne touched Lennon's hand gently before she swiftly moved off.
Logan and Nathan appeared with their backpacks over their shoulders, and Serena and Coco following them in floods of tears. They joined Ecco, Blaine, Baptiste, Bruna, and their security team.
"Please, reconsider!" Serena said, "I can fly you and Logan back to Tennessee on a private jet and I'll follow you back."
"Cinnamon, I can't except that on carbon emissions alone. Also on the fact that we've ditched our group for two weeks. I reckon we should be with them for the last trip and the trek home." Nathan said.
"When will you arrive home?" Serena asked.
"In a few days. We're hittin' one more european destination, then back to the states." Nathan said as Serena started to cry again.
Lennon came over and hugged his brothers, one after the other.
"Please Lenn, come with us." Logan said.
"I.. I can't. I'm trying to get Chéri to agree to flying out with me." Lennon said.
"Ohh? Since when?" Logan asked.
"Since last night. Look, I'll explain later. Just have a good trip you two." Lennon said.
"See you soon, buddy." Nathan said as he hugged Lennon.
"We'll see you soon, yeah?" Logan asked.
Lennon just nodded, trying to hold it together.
