The crowd swooned and Rose couldn’t help but giggle. She rocked out on stage for another song, a massive cannon of confetti shot off as the last chorus began.

Rose lifted her camera and snapped pictures as LAWSON jumped along to the end of the song.

Before leaving the stage, she yelled out, “Thank you, New York!” Once she left the stage and the house lights came on, Drew made their way to Rose. They wrapped their strong arms around her and kissed her hard.

Leaning into their ear, Rose lowered her voice. “I want to go home and fuck the shit out of you.”

Drew pulled back and raised their eyebrows. “Let’s say bye to Jamie and get the fuck out of here then.” They basically ran toward the backstage entrance where the duo flashed their press badges. With a nod, security opened the door for them.

The bright lights of the green rooms were a tough transition from the dark hall and flashing lights of the show. Once the door cracked open, Dani flew off Jamie’s lap. She blushed as they came in.

“Sorry, we don’t mean to interrupt.” Rose giggled.

Jamie wiped her mouth of her wife’s spit. “No, please. Come on in.”

Walking closer to her, Drew dapped Jamie up. “What an amazing show that was. Congratulations on everything.”

Rose winked at Dani. “Truly, I’ve never been to a concert so electric.”

Letting out a huge sigh, Jamie laughed. “Thank god. I was terrified they’d boo or not know the words, or something.”

“Oh god never,” Rose shook her head, “You’re like our god, we’ll love anything you do. And this album is just perfect.”

Jamie smiled. “Thank you. I really appreciate it.”

Drew nodded. “We should have some early pics for you in the next day or so. Mostly the digitals that Rose has and the film will be a minute. But if you don’t mind, we’re gonna head out.” Their excitement was impossible to hide.

From next to Jamie, Dani laughed. “Absolutely. We’re doing the same as soon as security lets us.”

They said their goodbyes and headed out of Webster Hall through the stage door. A crowd of adoring fans cheered for Drew and Rose for a brief moment before realizing it wasn’t LAWSON. But for a moment, Rose felt what it must have been like to be greeted like that everywhere you go.

She could see why someone would want it. But it was loud and Rose liked hiding away with Drew. After her eyes recovered from the flash of paparazzi lights, Rose looped her arm through Drew’s as they walked back to Drew’s loft.

The air was crisp as it filled Rose’s lungs, the leaves in full bloom now as it neared winter. But the bite of the wind felt like a relief against her flushed cheeks. Before she knew it, Drew was unlocking the front door and the duo was heading up the steps.

Taking multiple steps at a time, Drew’s long legs bounded up the steps. Rose smirked as she watched them move. They were clearly excited to get home. By the time Rose made it to the top of the stairs, Drew had already opened the apartment door and held it open for her. “My lady.”

Rose tucked her hair behind her ear and kissed their cheek as she passed. Both of them set their bags down on the work and took off their shoes.

“I should get this film developed so we can develop in the morning.” Drew sighed as they opened their camera case.

But Rose wasn’t interested in waiting, pulling her shirt off over her head and revealing a sheer emerald bra.”I think it could wait until morning.”

Swallowing the excitement rising in their throat, Drew’s eyes widened. They looked weak, desperate to touch her. But their eyes flicked between Rose’s half naked body and the canisters of film lined up on the table.

Licking their lips, Drew shrugged. “You wanna piss off LAWSON?”

“I don’t think she’ll mind.” She grabbed her pants by the waistband and threw them down to her ankles, stepping out of them delicately. “I think she’d like knowing everyones leaves her concerts and fucks.”

It was hard to argue that point. Drew strode across the room and grabbed Rose’s waist. She moaned at the rough tug, Planting their lips on hers, Drew let their hands grip her curves. But after a minute, Drew pulled away and groaned. “Just let me put this in the tank and then I’ll fuck you like you couldn’t believe.”

Rose sighed. “That’s a big promise.”

“Have I ever broken a promise?” Drew winked.

“Literally yes,” Rose laughed as she turned away and walked toward the bed. It was obvious that Drew’s eyes hadn’t left her ass, watching as her cheeks bounced with each step.

Disappearing into the darkroom, Drew went to spool the film into the reel. Wandering toward the bed, Rose took a deep breath. Of course she wanted to wait for them, but her clit was throbbing. And she knew just how much Drew loved to watch her.
