Subject: The Dreams That You Dared To Dream - 3

Greetings everyone,

Not much to say today.  I've gotten some great mail but not much of it but
that's ok!  : ) Thanks to everyone who's written.

I guess I should explain why I chose this title now.  It is part of a line
from 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' which is the first thing that Jamie and
Justin ever performed together.  That's the major connection but it also
has significance for all the characters with their dreams about careers,
marriage, family and the future.


As usual:
This story is purely fiction and is not intended to imply anything about
the true sexuality of  'N Sync or anyone associated with their
organization.  It is meant for those over the age of 18 only and those who
wish to read stories with sexual content.

The Dreams That You Dared To Dream - Chapter Three


Jamie surfaced as the engine died, wiping salt water from his eyes.  He
couldn't see much with the gentle swells.  "Justin!" he called.  "Justin!!"
he yelled louder.  All that answered him was the sound of the surf on the
beach.

Jamie spotted the jet ski bobbing in the surf a little ways from him.  He
started swimming towards it and ran into the log scraping his knuckles on
the waterlogged bark.  'So that's what we hit,' he thought to himself.  He
held onto the log resting for a second.

"Justin, where are you?  Please answer me!" he called but received no
answer.  He crawled over the log and pushed off of it swimming quickly to
the jet ski.  It was still on it's side so he tipped it back upright.
Jamie pulled himself up onto the seat and looked around.  His heart stopped
and he let out a sob finally seeing Justin floating nearby face up.  His
eyes blinked rapidly as he rubbed his eyes with one hand and coughed up sea
water.

"Justin!" he screamed.  Without thinking he dived off the jet ski and went
to Justin.  Jamie reached him quickly and pulled him into his arms.

At the touch, Justin shook his head as if clearing it of cobwebs and looked
at Jamie.  "Jamie, are we dead?"

Jamie cried with relief.  "No, we're still alive."

"Oh good, I didn't want to ruin the vacation, " he said with a wide smile.

Jamie pushed Justin away from him.  "You goober.  I was scared to death."

Justin smiled.  "Sorry, I heard you call me, but I was a little stunned.  I
hit the water pretty hard."

"Are you ok?"

Justin moved around in the water trying to see if anything hurt.  "I'm
fine, but my ego is a little bruised," he laughed.

They looked up as the other jet ski came up to them with Chris and Dani on
it.  "Hey, you guys ok?  Josh said you were right behind them.  We got
worried when you didn't show up."

"We're fine, Chris, just took a little spill, that's all," Justin said as
he climbed onto the seat of the jet ski.  He reached down and helped Jamie
up next to him.

"Wait, we should do something about the log we ran into," Jamie called.
Between the four of them and the two sleds they managed to drag the log
onto the beach.

When they met up with the others they checked out Justin for any problems
before letting the incident go.  For the next couple of hours they had fun
taking turns speeding back and forth in the waves.  Lance eventually joined
them with some inner tubes he found and they used the jet skis to pull them
around.

Eventually everyone started drifting off to their own cabanas.  Jamie and
Justin returned the skis to the shed before heading back to take a shower.
They took their time and lathered each other up lovingly, teasing each
other sensuously but not letting the passion get out of hand.

Jamie was panting as Justin's hands caressed every part of his body he
could reach.  "Justin... let's stop... save it... after dinner..."

Justin nodded with a smile.  "Ya, I don't suppose we want to be late."

They arrived just in time for cocktails, Jamie had his guitar strapped to
his shoulder.

"Oh!  Please play for us, Jamie," Chris begged.  "Dani, wait 'til you hear
him play.  He's a genius."

Everyone gave their words of encouragement while Jamie sat and got
comfortable.  Justin came back with Scotch on the rocks for him and sat
nearby.  After quickly tuning the strings, he ran through some warm-up
exercises.  Everyone sat back and listened to his fingers fly over the
frets.

"Wow, that was great, what was it?" asked Kelly.

"It was Bach," Justin answered proudly.  Jamie smiled at him as they
kissed.

"Ok, any requests?"

"Anything that moves you," suggested Lance.

Jamie nodded, thought for a second and started the song.  He sang the
beginning of the intro to Dani and Kelly, almost conspiratorially,
strumming the chords as he went.

	"There's a saying old, says that love is blind
	Still we're often told, 'Seek and ye shall find.'
	So I'm gonna seek a certain lad I've had... in mind."

He turned to Lance, the full club performance on, as he spell bound
everyone in the room, including Nino at the kitchen counter.

	"Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
	He's the big affair I cannot forget
	Only man I ever think of with regret"

He now turned his attention to Justin with a loving twinkle in his eye.

	"I'd like to add his initials to my monogram
	Tell me, where is the shepherd for this... lost... lamb..."

He set up a soft insistent accompaniment at the main verse to the song,
picking up a little speed as he sang to Justin alone.

	"There's a somebody I'm longing to see
	I hope that he... turns out to be
	Someone who'll watch... over me

	I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
	I know I could...  always be good
	To one who'll watch over me.

	Although he may not... be the man...
	Some girls think of... as handsome...
	To my heart... he carries the key.

	Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
	Follow my lead... Oh, how I need
	Someone to watch over me....

	Someone to watch over me."


They all applauded in appreciation.  Dani and Kelly had tears in their eyes
while Chris and Joey whistled.  JC and Lance held hands and snuggled
together as Justin leaned over and kissed Jamie on the cheek.

"Thanks, sweet pea.  That was wonderful."

"I just love that song.  It's from that movie with Kevin Costner," Kelly
said.

"And don't forget Whitney too," added Joey.

Jamie made a face which Chris noticed.  "What?  You dissing Whitney?"

Jamie smiled and shook his head.  "Oh, no.  I can admire her ambition and
she does have a nice voice.  But I'd much rather listen to someone else
sing.  Why does she insist that she has to scream in the middle of every
song, it gets pretty painful.  And it's just so....  un-artistic."

Lance laughed.  "I think we're gonna be alone on this one, Jamie.  I've
tried for so long."

"So who would you suggest would sing his song better?" challenged Joey.

"Oh...  Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, and of course Ella."

"But they sing the old songs.." Dani began.

"How old do you think this song is?" Jamie asked with a twinkle.  "JC,
you're the resident Jazz lover here besides me."

JC thought for a minute.  "I'm not sure.  I know it's old maybe 40 years?"

"Not bad, but it's older.  It's almost 75 years old."  The group goggled at
him.  "Not bad for such an old clunker, isn't it?"

"Who wrote it?" Lance asked.

"George and Ira Gershwin.  You see that name on something and you know it's
good."

Jamie played some more as they guys say with him.  He included some of
their own tunes mixed with folk songs and campfire songs.

Dinner and dessert were a repeat of the night before.  Everyone stayed for
some rummy, breaking apart into two groups.  They all enjoyed the relaxed
atmosphere, forgetting who they were and just concentrating on being
friends.  As they broke up for the evening they made plans for the next
day.

"Hey, let's have the party on the beach where we were today," Joey
suggested.

"That's a great idea," Chris agreed.  "See you guys tomorrow."  Chris and
Dani waved as they left.

"Ok, is everything all set?" JC asked.

"What are you guys up to?"  Lance looked at them suspiciously.

"Oh, just a little joke on Chris, that's all," Joey said innocently.  He
quickly outlined the plan he'd devised assigning everyone a task as they
giggled at him.  He handed Jamie the key chain.  "Here, you take this for
later."  Jamie nodded.

"This sounds great.  We'll have everything ready," Justin said as he took
Jamie's hand.  "Have a good night everyone."  They waved as they left.

Once back in the cabana, Justin lit several candles and placed them around
the bedroom.  "Now, where were we?"

Jamie went to him and they kissed.  "I think we were right here."

They slowly took off each other's clothes as they stared into their eyes.
When finally naked, they met in a deep kiss, their passion mounting.  Their
tongues darted into each other's mouths tasting and teasing.  They parted
and glanced out the window to see the full moon, it's light shining on them
through the glass.

Jamie pulled Justin to the bed and pushed him down onto it.  Smiling at him
he lifted his right leg and softly kissed and licked the flame tattoo near
his ankle.

Justin smiled.  "Mmmm, that feels so sexy," he growled as Jamie made his
way up his leg to his knee.  Using his tongue he licked around his kneecap
and down around to the back.  Justin shivered and started giggling.  "Oh,
that tickles, oh..."  He cut off as Jamie started licking up his inner
thighs going back and forth between the two.

Avoiding his erection Jamie licked up the right side of Justin's hip to his
stomach.  Matting down Justin's trail he made his way up.  Kissing and
licking Justin's navel, he let Justin's hard cock pulse against his chest
and throat.

Jamie looked up to see Justin staring at the ceiling his mouth open.  He
kissed and licked up Justin's abs with a chuckle until he got to the center
of his chest and stopped.  Justin lifted his head and looked down at him a
glazed expression on his face.  Without breaking eye contact Jamie slid
over to one pec and kissed around the nipple bringing a soft moan from
Justin.  Jamie's tongue swirled around the hard peak before he wrapped his
lips around it and started sucking.

"Oh ya, sweet pea," Justin moaned.

Jamie continued sucking and bit gently with his teeth causing Justin to
buck up against him with a loud groan.  Smiling at his love who was now
whimpering softly he went and repeated everything to the other nipple
knowing that it would bring Justin very close to the edge.  Just in time he
caught Justin's hand snaking down to stroke his throbbing erection.  Jamie
grabbed his wrist and held it firmly while his mouth caused Justin to
tremble and moan more loudly.  He felt himself get harder, the pleasure he
was bringing Justin exciting himself as well.

Jamie sat up beside his panting lover.  Justin's hard cock was oozing and
throbbing with the beat of his heart.  He lay on top of him and pressed
their lips together.  Justin sucked Jamie's tongue out of his mouth and
into his as he moved against Jamie, the friction increasing their pleasure.
Justin grabbed Jamie around the back and rolled so he was on top.

Breaking the kiss he sat up.  "I want you," he said with a sexy growl.
"Now!"  He reached over to the night stand and grabbed the lube from where
he put it earlier and rubbed it onto Jamie making him moan out loud.  He
positioned himself over Jamie and sat on his hard on.  There was a little
pressure at first but with a grimace Jamie slipped inside and Justin slowly
sat all the way down with a contented sigh.

"Oh, baby, you feel so good in me," Justin panted.

He moved so that his feet were on either side of Jamie's shoulders and he
supported himself with his hands as he slowly rocked making Jamie rub back
and forth inside him.  They both groaned in unison.  Jamie felt the
pressure slowly growing inside him and he fought to keep it under control.
He looked up at Justin to see his head thrown back, his mouth moving at the
pleasure he was feeling.  Jamie went to grab Justin and stroke him but saw
that he was steely hard with precum running out the tip.  He left him alone
knowing any extra stimulation would make Justin blow.

Jamie had an idea and grabbed Justin's thighs and sat up.  Justin smiled at
him and wrapped his arms around Jamie's shoulders to hold them together and
upright.  As Jamie put his hands on Justin's waist, Justin locked his legs
around Jamie and they rocked forward and back a little more forcefully
causing Justin to cry out.

Jamie could feel Justin's erection riding along his stomach, throbbing
wildly between them.  The throbbing caused Justin's ass muscles to tighten
around Jamie's cock bringing him even closer as he flexed his hips to get
more friction. Justin shivered as Jamie poked his prostate repeatedly.  The
pleasure was growing and they both knew that the other was close.

Jamie turned his head and found that because of their height difference and
their position his mouth was even with Justin's nipples.  He got a sly grin
as he sucked one into his mouth and worked on it roughly giving Justin just
a hint of pain through the pleasure.

That was all the extra stimulation Justin needed.  "Ahhhh, Jamie!" he cried
as he started shooting between them.  The contractions shook Justin's body
and brought Jamie over as well as he came deep inside Justin moaning with
each shot.

Justin looked down into Jamie's sweat soaked face and kissed him tenderly.
"Every time, I love you more and more," he said simply bringing tears to
Jamie's eyes.

They moved and Justin reluctantly let Jamie slip from him as they lay
together, letting their bodies recover.

Jamie looked deep into Justin's eyes.  "You are the most beautiful man and
I love you completely."

Justin smiled and they kissed, softly and gently.  When their breathing
returned to normal they got up to take a quick shower and got back into
bed.  Justin held Jamie tightly against him, Jamie resting his head on
Justin's shoulder.

Justin kissed his forehead and quietly sang.

	"You'll never know what you've done for me
	What your faith in me has done for my soul
	You'll never know the gift you've given me
	I'll carry it with me

	Through the days ahead I'll think of days before
	You made me hope for something better
	And made me reach for somethin' more

	You taught me to run
	You taught me to fly
	Helped me to free the me inside
	Helped me hear the music of my heart
	Helped me hear the music of my heart

	You opened my eyes
	You opened the door
	To somethin' I've never known before
	And your love...
	Is the music of my heart."


"That's a really beautiful song," Jamie said sleepily.  "I really like it
when you sing to me and hold me."  He leaned up and kissed Justin one more
time before pressing his face against his neck and falling fast asleep.
Justin smiled through a yawn and fell asleep too wondering where the
moonlight had gone.

------


It was a twilight world, thunder and lightening crashing around him.  'Well
this is different,' he thought.  He walked around the featureless landscape
lit by flashes of lightening, deafened by the booming of thunder.  In one
flash he thought he caught a glimpse of movement in the distance.
Intrigued, he headed for it.

"Jamie," a ghostly voice whispered between the thunderclaps.  Jamie looked
around and saw nothing but continued to where he thought he could see
something.  'I should be scared shitless,' he thought to himself.  He
reached what he could only describe as a wall.  There was nothing there but
instinctively he knew that it was a barrier and in the flashes of light he
saw a door.

Large cold raindrops began to fall, soaking him, as he stood before the
door not moving.  Jamie knew it was just a door but for some reason he was
still frightened.  Soon he was wet and shivering as the temperature
dropped.

"Jamie," the voice called again this time definitely from behind him.

Quickly reaching a decision he grabbed the doorknob and entered a room
letting the door shut behind him.  With a gasp he saw he was -the- dorm
room.  Jamie quickly turned and tried leave finding the door locked.

"You came back."  The words froze Jamie completely as Rocky spoke the words
exactly as he had that day.  Looking around he saw a blurry image of Rocky
sitting on the bed.

"I'm sorry I slapped you," Rocky apologized holding his arms out to Jamie.

"No, you're not real," he gasped, backing away.

"Aw baby, come here and give me a hug," Rocky said with a smile.

The look in his eyes scared Jamie more than anything, a feral, animalistic
leer.  Jamie ran to the door and started frantically pulling on the
doorknob.

"Come on, Jamie let's make up."

The tone of Rocky's voice dripped with menace and Jamie screamed.  Just as
he felt the knob turn in his hands he felt a hand on his back.  "Jamie!" a
voice said loudly.

"No!!!" Jamie screamed in panic as the door opened and he ran until he
collapsed.

------


A very loud clap of thunder, that shook the cabana, woke Justin and he
found Jamie struggling beside him.  He was rocking on his side and pushing
against Justin's chest with his hands.  A storm outside raged, lighting the
room with brilliant flashes.

"Jamie," he said quietly.  Jamie continued to moan in his sleep.  Justin
tried to shake his shoulder but Jamie threw his hand off.

"Jamie," he tried again as a heavy rain began to fall outside.

Jamie got still for a second before let out a heart rending wail.  "No,
you're not real," he shouted in his sleep as he sat up suddenly.  Justin
was now worried.  This had been the worst nightmare he'd witnessed yet.

With loving care he put his hand on Jamie's back.  "Jamie!" he said a
little more loudly.

Jamie's reaction was instantaneous and terrifying.  "No!!!" he screamed as
he bolted off the bed and ran out the door and into the storm.

"Shit!" Justin exclaimed as he ran out after him.  It was hard to see in
the dark with the rain but the wet sand showed Jamie's footprints
perfectly.  Justin slowed down a bit so he wouldn't lose them between
lightening flashes.

After jogging for a few minutes he found Jamie curled up in a ball in the
surf sobbing loudly.  Justin went to him and gathered him in his arms.

"Justin?" he asked weakly.

"Yes, sweet pea.  I'm here and everything's ok."  Jamie clutched Justin
fearfully as the thunder boomed around them.  "We need to get inside, it's
not safe out here in the storm."  Justin carried him back inside and into
the bathroom.  They were both shivering so he started a hot shower.  Jamie
wouldn't let go of Justin as he whimpered into his chest.

Once under the hot spray, Justin comforted Jamie until he calmed enough to
talk.  He still trembled but his voice grew stronger as he relayed the
details of his dream.

"Justin, this the first time that I've actually dreamed of that day.  All
my other nightmares have hinted at it but..."

"Shhhh, baby.  It's ok."  Justin comforted him and rubbed his cheeks, neck
and shoulders.  "Nobody knows how the mind works.  It just does it's thing.
Leslie did say that as you worked through things others would surface, so
maybe that's it

"But why now of all times?"

"No one expects you to be over something like that easily.  I'm here to
make sure nothing happens to you."

Jamie lay his head on Justin's chest and clutched him tightly.  "And when
I'm with you I feel truly safe," he said with yawn.

"Well, let's get some sleep and talk some more in the morning, ok?"

Jamie nodded as they dried off.  They tiredly went back to bed, the storm
still raging outside.

------


Sunlight streaming in the window hit Justin's eyes, waking him.  He felt
next to him and found that he was alone.  Getting up he grabbed a banana
from the counter and spotted Jamie sitting in the oversized lounge chair on
the deck staring at the waves.

He sat next to Jamie, waiting for him to speak, not wanting to disturb his
thoughts.  Jamie slumped against Justin resting against his shoulder.

"Morning, JuJu," he said simply after a few moments.

Justin became concerned with Jamie's haunted expression.  "How are you
feeling?"

"Like hell."  Jamie looked up at Justin and smiled at him.  "But I'm just
so happy to be here with you that I don't care."  Their hands met and their
fingers intertwined.  "I love you so much.  Thanks for caring about me."

Justin leaned down and kissed him sweetly.  "I love you too and I just want
to see you happy."

Jamie nodded breaking Justin's gaze to stare at the waves, stronger now
because of the storm that passed.  "The waves have really kicked up."

"Hey, let's go body surfing, they look big enough," Justin suggested.

"Ok."

After putting on some waterproof sun block they dived into the water and
swam out a little way.  Holding hands they rode a large wave almost up onto
shore.  Over and over they played before dragging themselves up on the
beach still half in the surf.

They lay in each others arms trading soft kisses loving the feel of the
water washing over them.  Before long they heard Lance's deep voice calling
for them.

"Over here, Lance," Justin called without thinking.

"Some storm last night, huh?" Lance asked as he stepped onto the beach.
"Oh, good Lord, you're naked!" he cried blushing a deep red and turning
away from them.

They both giggled at his reaction.  "Welcome to our clothing optional
beach, Lance," Jamie laughed.  "Feel free..."

"Um... well... that's... no... ah... thanks anyway," Lance sputtered
clearly uncomfortable.

"Oh, come on, Scoop.  It's not like you've never seen me naked before,"
Justin teased, causing Lance to blush deeper.

"And I haven't got anything you don't," Jamie added, enjoying the teasing
they were doing to poor Lance.

Lance laughed and turned around still averting his gaze out over the water.
"I just came by to see if you guys would like to join me and Josh for
lunch."

Justin looked to Jamie who nodded with a smile.  "Sure, noon right?"

"Yes, and the answer to your next question is 10:30.  We'll see you in a
bit."  Lance took one quick look at them before taking his leave.

They cuddled some more before heading in to take a shower.  Getting
dressed, Justin paused for a second.  "Hey, you go ahead to their cabana,
I'm gonna stop off at the lodge and grab a bottle of wine and the boom box
so we can test out the keychain."

Jamie smiled at him.  "Ok, get something white, that's best for lunch."
They kissed and headed in separate directions.

Jamie wandered the path parallel to the beach.  He came across a patch of
orchids that seemed to be growing wild in a slightly damp area and picked a
couple thinking it would be a nice gift for Lance and JC.  Soon the cabana
came into view, it was very similar to his and Justin's.  As he approached
he heard voices from the deck.  Getting closer he was torn between
interrupting and eavesdropping.  His indecision decided for him.

"Are you sure, Josh?" he heard Lance say.  "You just shrug but I know you
have feelings about this."

"James, let's just not talk about it, please?"

He heard Lance sigh.  Jamie's heart pounded as a sadness and feeling of
insecurity settled into the pit of his stomach.  He didn't hear JC's next
comment but Lance's raised voice drew his attention.

"And just when will there be a good time, Josh?"

"I'm not talking about this anymore.  I'm gonna get the wine, I'll be back
in a second."

"Wait, Josh."

Jamie heard a kiss then Lance's voice.  "No matter what, I love you."

"I know, sweets."

As Jamie heard JC leave, he circled around to approach the deck from the
beach side.  He was even more confused by the end of the conversation.

"Hey Lance," he called hesitantly.

"Hey buddy, where's J?"

"He went to get some wine and the boom box for a dry run for tonight."
Jamie tried to keep his voice light trying to not let Lance know he'd heard
a part of his conversation with JC.

Lance laughed but Jamie noticed the smile didn't touch his eyes.  "Josh
just left to get some wine too."

Jamie decided to take the direct route.  "Lance, is everything ok?  You
sound a little funny."

Lance didn't make eye contact with him and looked down at the deck.  "Just
fine."

"That's not true."

Lance looked up at Jamie with a sad expression.  "It's really nothing you
need to worry about.  Thanks for asking though, I appreciate it."

"Well, I may not have my own head screwed on right but if you need someone
to talk to I'd be happy to listen."

Lance's smile was genuine this time.  "Thanks, Jamie.  I'm sure I'll take
you up on that.  You know, you're turning out to be a really good friend."
He pulled Jamie into a warm hug.  "Thanks."

They separated just as JC and Justin came around the corner laughing
together.  Jamie looked at Lance to see a slightly pained expression on his
face.  He squeezed his shoulder in support and Lance nodded to him.

"Look who I found," JC called.  "Seems we great minds think alike."

Lance made omelets and brought out fresh fruit, the wine and some cheese.
They sat in the sand on blankets having a beach picnic taking a long
leisurely lunch, chatting aimlessly.  Justin hooked up a microphone to the
boom box and they amplified the key chain.  It worked perfectly.

------


"Everybody know what their doing?" Joey asked.

He saw everybody nod with broad smiles on their faces.  Chris and Dani had
left after dinner carrying large baskets filled with mixers and glasses.
Everyone else had raced to get changed and came back quickly.

"Let's go over it one more time," Lance suggested.

"Ok," Joey began.  "Kelly, you'll get there from the beach side carrying
some chairs from our cabana.  It's your job to make sure that Chris stays
on the beach, and if they ask, we're all still getting ready and I went to
the lodge to carry the ice."

Kelly nodded.  "Got it!"

"Jamie and Lance, you are the sound guys.  One to hold the boom box, the
other to work the mike and keychain.  When we get in position you'll start
the Raptor noises softly then make them louder as we get closer to Chris."

"Check," they replied together giving Joey a salute.

"Smart asses," Joey chuckled.  "Curly, JC and I will carry the last two
tubs and leave them on the path.  When we hear the first noise from the box
we'll start shaking the bushes and get closer to Chris as we go."

"Alright, let's go, this is gonna be great!" JC shouted as he grabbed the
tub of alcohol.  Joey and Justin each grabbed a side of the ice tub while
Jamie grabbed some munchies from the kitchen.  Within minutes they were in
place and waited to hear Kelly's voice from the beach.

"Chris, could you help me set up the chairs?"

"Sure, hold on."

They watched as Chris brought more chairs from the deck and started helping
Kelly set them all up.  Jamie took the cue from Joey and pressed the button
on the key chain.  As the screech of the dinosaur echoed out over the beach
a bush shook near the cabana.

"Hey, did you hear that?" Chris asked.

"Huh?" Kelly said putting a chair down.

Chris shook his head and picked up another chair.  Lance upped the volume a
little and Jamie hit the button again.  A different bush shook a little
closer to Chris, who saw it that time.

"Kelly, you can't tell me that you didn't hear that and that bush was
shaking."

Kelly pretended to be having trouble with the chair in her hands and
unfolded it with a satisfied "There!"  She put the chair down and turned to
Chris.  "What's your problem?"

Dani came out with some camping lanterns and handed them to Chris.  "Here,
set these up so we have some light."  Chris nodded absently as he looked
toward the bushes.

Kelly went with Dani back into the cabana.  Chris put a lit lantern down
and stepped closer to the bushes, peering to see if he could see anything.
Lance turned the volume full up and Jamie pushed the button.  The loud
screech was accompanied by a violent shaking of the bush right in front of
Chris who screamed in terror and took a step back.  Jamie hit the T-Rex
roar as Joey, Justin and JC jumped out at Chris to finish the blow.  Poor
Chris jumped a foot in the air, his eyes rolled up and he fainted dead away
on the sand.

Dani and Kelly giggled from the side as the 'attackers' howled with
laughter.  Joey collapsed holding his stomach.  Chris came to a moment
later glaring at everyone.

"You just wait, you guys.  Payback is a bitch!"

"Aw, Chris, you gotta admit that it was pretty funny," Lance snickered.

"Ya," JC wheezed.  "That was the best joke of all time."

Chris stood with his hands on his hips staring at the others.  "And I
thought you all were my friends."

"Oh Poppa, if we didn't care we'd just ignore you," Jamie said hugging
Chris' shoulder.

"Sure, you always scare the piss out of people you love, right?" Chris
asked with a laugh.  "You guys are too much.  It -was- great, but you
better watch your backs!" he warned with a smile.

They settled down for some serious partying.  The drinks flowed freely and
they were talking and dancing to music from the boom box.  At one point
Chris got everyone to Limbo which was hysterical the more buzzed they got.
The evening wore on and everyone was feeling pretty good.

"Hey, let's play Truth or Dare," JC suggested.  "We haven't done that since
the tour last summer."

"Ok, tour rules?" Justin asked.  JC nodded.

"What's tour rules," Jamie asked.

"We put everyone's name in a hat and you draw for the person you Truth or
Dare.  Then that person can't get picked the next round, it saves having
the same two people from picking each other the whole time."

"That's an interesting rule," Kelly commented.

"We had to make it," Chris replied.  "Last summer Joey and Jordan Knight
almost got into a fight because neither would back down."

"Hey, he kept picking on me."

"Whatever," Chris sighed.  "Anyway this way it's all chance and you can't
get picked twice in a row.  The only other thing is no dares that are
physically dangerous and you can't use the same truth/dare more than 2
times."

They set up the game and Lance drew a name.  "Ok, Josh starts."

JC picked a name and read it.  "Ok, Justin, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

JC thought for a second.  "Tell something about Jamie that nobody knows."

Justin looked at Jamie then whispered something to him.  Jamie nodded back.
"He had to come out to his family when he was caught 'playing post office'
behind his garage when he was 15."

They all laughed as Justin picked a name.  "Dani, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Impersonate Chris' moaning when you're together."

Dani giggled and moaned for them as Chris blushed.

"I can tell that was pretty close by the color of Chris' face," Joey
laughed as Dani picked a name.

"Ok, Chris, truth or dare."

The game continued as they had a great time trying to embarrass each other
as they drank.  Eventually the tasks and confessions started to become even
more personal.

Joey asked Justin who chose dare.

"We're gonna blindfold you and then each kiss you.  You have to figure out
which one is Jamie."

Justin laughed and sat in the sand as Dani tied a napkin around his head.
"Ok, but no tongue," he warned.

One by one they kissed Justin.  As Jamie went to take his turn Chris held
him back and sent Lance for a second time.  Jamie held a giggle in with a
hand.

"Time to guess."

Justin took the blindfold off and pondered the kisses seemingly confused
and little distraught at making a decision.

"JuJu, you don't know which kiss was mine?" Jamie played along in mock
hurt.

Justin stood with a sly grin.  "Y'all think you're so smart and clever.
Well not one of those kisses was from Jamie."  Justin pulled Jamie to him
with a hand on the small of his back and locked their mouths together,
kissing him intensely.  He let go of Jamie who staggered a step back before
sitting down heavily in the sand, dazed.

"That's what his kiss does to me and none of y'all came close to that," he
laughed.

Joey patted Justin on the back.  "Never can pull one over you, can we?"

"Nope!"

Justin pulled a name.  "Kelly, truth or dare."

"Truth."

"Let's get a little spicy.  How many orgasms have you had since we've been
on the island?"

Kelly blushed while Jamie looked at Justin in shock.  Joey grinned before
belting out "Group truth!"  The guys of NSync all nodded their heads.

"What's a group truth?" Jamie and Dani asked at almost the same time.

"That's another tour rule," Lance said.  "If a truth is particularly good
then someone can call group truth and everyone has to answer it."

"Ok," Kelly said blushing deeply.  "Two."  Joey agreed with her, "Same
here."

Jamie and Justin looked at each other.  "Three," they replied together.

"Two also," admitted Dani.  "Three!" Chris proclaimed proudly kissing Dani
on the cheek.

JC became shy.  "Um, four," he stuttered out as they whistled at him.

Lance blushed deeply looking at his hands.  "Laaannncce," Chris called.

"Oh, ok!  Five!"  Everyone catcalled as JC kissed him.

JC smiled at them.  "What can I say, I can't keep my hands off him."

Kelly got Chris who picked truth.

"I think this would be a good group one.  How old were you when you had
your first sexual contact with another person and who was it?  And I mean
something more than just touching."

"Group it is," Chris agreed.  "I was 14 and it was Colleen Ryan a girl from
school."  They went around the circle not hearing any surprises until they
got to Justin, Lance and JC.

"I was 17 and it was Tony," JC admitted.

Justin gasped.  "You mean -that- Tony?"  JC nodded.  "Wow, I never thought
he was..."

"He's not, really.  We were just experimenting and we only did it once."

Justin blushed at his admission.  "Um, I don't want to sound like a retard
or anything."  They all assured him not.  "19 with Jamie."

"Your kidding, right?" Joey asked.

"Nope, completely serious so don't make fun of me."

Jamie kissed Justin.  "Trust me, he's more than made up for it."  Justin
blushed and kissed Jamie back.

Lance was last.  "I was 17 too, but you have to swear to secrecy about the
rest.  Until now nobody but me, JC and this person knows this.  Well, maybe
his cousin does, but I'm not sure."

Everyone agreed becoming intrigued.  "It was Brian Littrell."  Everyone sat
in shocked silence.  JC looked resigned.

"Y-y-y-you mean the Backstreet Boy's Brian?" Justin asked.  Lance nodded.

"Holy crap!" Chris said.  "What a bombshell that is."

"So Brian is...?" Joey asked.

Lance shook his head.  "He said at the time he was bi.  But he's been with
his girlfriend LeighAnne for a long time now so I guess he's decided."
Lance looked down sadly and JC put his arm around his shoulder.

The game continued as they got less inhibited.  Joey had to streak back and
forth across the beach, Justin did a body shot off of Jamie, Chris had to
stimulate Dani's 'spot' which turned out to be the inside of her elbow and
Lance had to wear a whip cream bathing suit.  They drank through every
truth and dare and were quickly become too drunk to keep the game going.

Finally they agreed to one more.  Joey got JC who picked dare.

"Ok, you have to give whoever's name you pick a stripping lap dance."

JC groaned.  "I can't do that," he slurred.

"Rules are rules," Justin hiccupped.

JC reached into the glass and pulled out a name.  "I hope it's you babe,"
he said to Lance barely able to form the words.

His face grew grave.  "It's Justin," he said solemnly then started
giggling.

Chris and Joey brought over a bench and sat Justin down on the end.  Joey
found an R&B station that was playing some music with a driving rhythm.

JC started dancing shyly in front of Justin who just smiled up at him.  As
he took off his shirt he got more into the music as Joey and Chris played
with some flashlights making it look like they were in some club.  Sweat
coated JC's chest as he took off his shorts and danced around in his
boxers.  He sat backwards on Justin's lap swiveling around making Justin
laugh and the others look on in amusement.

Jamie and Lance exchanged a glance both becoming a little uncomfortable
with how far this was going.  JC shocked everyone when he stood back up and
mooned Justin who squealed with laughter thinking it was hilariously funny.
JC pressed his bare bottom against Justin's crotch rubbing it suggestively.
Justin stopped laughing and looked at JC with a mixture of surprise and
confusion.

JC stood up again and stripped completely his hardon displayed for all to
see.  Turning suddenly, he plopped down on Justin's lap.  He ground into
Justin while holding his shoulders.  Justin sat in shock not moving while
Chris and Joey looked on nervously, their flashlights forgotten.  Jamie and
Lance stood to protest when JC leaned down and planted his lips firmly on
Justin's.

The world stopped for a second as everyone inhaled sharply.  It started
again with Lance's shout.

"Joshua Scott Chasez, what the hell do you think you're doing?!!"

JC's head snapped up with the sound of Lance's voice.  He looked into
Justin's eyes and saw the horror and disbelief in them.  He collapsed on
the sand next to Justin and curled into a ball whimpering 'what have I
done?' over and over.

Justin turned to look at Jamie and saw the hurt in his eyes as tears
stained his cheeks.  He sat still in shock not able to speak, having
trouble processing everything through the alcohol haze.

"Oh, Justin," he wailed, "how could you let that happen?"  Jamie then ran
off into the bushes and out of sight.
