Liquid Dreams - Part 2

     The next morning, Ashley woke up with a huge smile on
his face as the events of the night before began to flood
his memory.  He remembered the long conversation that he
and Dan had about their newfound relationship and how their
feelings for each other began.  Dan had told Ashley that
he had been interested in him since the group was narrowed
down to 25.  He told Ashley that he was so heart-broken when
his name wasn't called to be in the final 8, because he knew
that he would probably never see Ashley again.  Then he remembered
that fateful day when Lou Pearlman called him at home and
told him that the remaining four members of the group wanted
him to take Ikaika's place, he was more excited about seeing
Ashley again than he was about being in the group.  Ashley
told Dan how happy he was when Dan was actually picked to
be in the group because he had been interested in him since
the beginning.  They spent most of the night talking and
laughing about everything, but then grew tired and fell asleep
in each others arms.

     Ashley rolled over hoping to get a glimpse of Dan's
angelic sleeping face in the early morning light, but was
disappointed to find that Dan wasn't lying next to him.
*Oh God, please don't tell me that it was another dream,
I won't know what to do with myself if it was!*  Just then
Ashley noticed something.  *Wait a minute,* he thought to
himself, *this isn't my room, this is Dan's room!*  Just
as his thought was finished, he heard the most beautiful
voice coming from the bathroom.

     "I know when he's been on your mind, that distant look
is in your eyes, I thought with time you'd realize, it's
over, over," Dan sang from the bathroom.

     *He's in the shower!  Thank God last night wasn't a
dream, I would've died if it was.*  Ashley smiled, laid back
down, and waited for Dan to come out of the shower.

     Five minutes later, Dan emerged from the bathroom wearing
a thin, white, terry-cloth towel that sat low on his hips
and allowed Ashley to get a good view of his toned chest
and washboard stomach.  Dan's body was glistening in the
sunlight that peeked through the windows, and Ashley had
to tear his eyes away from Dan's body so he could look into
his deep blue eyes.  When Ashley's eyes met Dan's, he walked
over to the bed and leaned in close to Ashley.

     "Good morning sexy," he said right before placing a
soft kiss on Ashley's lips.  "Did I wake you?" He asked,
before kissing him softly again.

     "No, you didn't wake me, but I wish you would have,
that way I could have joined you in that shower," Ashley
replied suggestively.

     "Damnit Ashley, why do you have get me so worked up
this early in the morning?" Dan asked as he rested his body
on top of Ashley's.

     "Because I like seeing you squirm," Ashley replied as
he thrust himself up against Dan.

     "Mmm baby, don't start something you can't finish."

     "Oh believe me, I fully intend on finishing this, I
ALWAYS finish what I start," Ashley said as he captured Dan's
lips with his and began kissing him with a passion that he
didn't know exsisted inside of him.  Ashley rolled over so
that he was on top and Dan was on the bottom.  Ashley flicked
his tongue across Dan's lips before he made his way down
to his neck.  He playfully nipped and sucked at the skin
at the base of Dan's jawbone, then worked his way over to
the sensitive skin behind his ear.  As Ashley's tongue licked
out and teased the skin, Dan shivered as a wave of pleasure
ran through him.  "Well, well, well, it looks like I found
somebody's spot," Ashley teased as he continued to lap at
the sensitive skin.  Dan just nodded numbly in response as
Ashley's tongue worked it's magic on him.

     *He's so good with his tongue, I can't even begin to
imagine what else he can do with that tongue*  Dan's thought
was cut short as someone knocked loudly on the door.

     "Dan!!!!  Get your ass up, we have to be at the dance
studio in 30 minutes," Jacob screamed through the door.


     "Damn, why couldn't he come 5 minutes later?"  Dan sighed.

     "Oh believe me baby, it would have taken MUCH longer
than that," Ashley said softly while planting soft kisses
along Dan's cheek.

     "Oh...my...God,"  Dan whispered as he captured Ashley's
lips with his own again.  The two began to make out passionately
again until...

     "Dan, I mean it, get up now before I have to come in
there!!!"  Jacob screamed.

     "Okay, I'm up, I'm up!!!"  Dan said, "In more ways than
one," he added softly so only Ashley could hear him.

     "Good," Jacob replied, "and if you see Ashley, tell
him to hurry up too!"

     Dan looked at Ashley and said, "Okay Jacob I will, you
can go away now!"  They heard Jacob's retreating footsteps,
and Ashley disentangled himself from Dan's arms.

     "We'll finish this tonight.  I promise,"  Ashley said
with a wink as he slipped into the bathroom to take a shower.


         ~******************************~

     Dance rehearsal was extra grueling.  Tyjuan, their choreographer,
was pushing them harder than he ever had before.  They were
learning the new steps to "Take Me Under," and for some reason,
they just weren't getting it.

     "Tyjuan," Eric whined, "can we PLEASE take like a 5
minute break or something??"

     "When you actually get the steps right, then you can
take a break.  Until then, suck it up, and concentrate!!"
Tyjuan replied back.  "5, 6, 7, 8!!"  The guys began to move
to the soulful sounds of the song, and for the first time
that day, they actually got all of the steps right.  "See
what can happen once you concentrate?" Tyjuan asked, "Now
you can take a break."

     Dan grabbed a bottle of water and took a seat on the
floor next to Ashley.  "You know," Ashley whispered into
Dan's ear, "it was really hard for me to concentrate while
you were thrusting your hips like that."

     Dan grinned and said, "I was doing a little extra for
you, I'm glad you liked it.  And believe me, there's more
where that came from.  I can't wait until we get out of here,
so I can show you EXACTLY what I mean."

     "UGH!  I wish we could just leave now, because if you
keep talking like that, I won't be able to do much more dancing,"
Ashley sighed, frustrated.

     Jacob looked over at the two guys on the floor, *there's
something going on with those two, and I'm not sure if I
want to know what it is.*

     Just then, Tyjuan entered the room and said, "you guys
are in luck, you get to leave early today, because something
just came up that I have to take care of.  But don't forget
that you have to be here bright and early tomorrow morning.
 And you know what happens if you're late."

     "We know," they all muttered.

     "Good, I'll see you tomorrow, bye," Tyjuan said as he
rushed out of the door.

     Dan and Ashley glanced at each other with smiles evident
in their eyes.


         ~*****************************~

     When the van pulled to the hotel, Dan and Ashley were
eager to get out.  Once they did, they basically ran to the
elevators, and waited impatiently for the next available
car to come down.  Once it did, they noticed it was empty,
and ran in and let the door close before anyone else could
get in.  Dan backed Ashley up against the mirrored wall as
the elevator began to rise.  He pressed his lips against
Ashley's with such force, that Ashley's knees went weak.
 Ashley parted his lips slighty allowing Dan's velvety tongue
access to his mouth.  Dan's tongue slid over Ashley's roughly
at first, but then the touch became gentle, and Dan savored
the taste of Ashley's mouth.  Just then, the elevator came
to a stop on their floor.  They practically ran out of the
elevator and stopped when they reached Dan's door.  Ashley
reached into Dan's pants pocket and pulled out the key.
He slid it into the door so quickly that it didn't work.
 He slowed down and tried it again.  This time it worked,
and the flew open, and they had to stop themselves from falling.
 Once again, Dan captured Ashley's lips and led him over
to the bed.

     Ashley regretfully broke his lips away from Dan's so
he could catch his breath.  "Baby, I want to do this just
as much as you do, but we're all sweaty from dancing, we
need to take a shower."

     "Why, we're going to get all sweaty again anyway, so
why bother," Dan panted as he tried to tackle Ashley's lips
again.

     "Baby, I don't think you get it.  I said WE need to
take a shower.  As in, me and you, TOGETHER."

     Dan's eyes got very wide in realization as he said,
"Together?"

     "Together."

     "Well, what are we waiting for??"

**************************************************
I am soooo sorry for ending it like that, I really wasn't
planning to end it like that, but it's getting late and I
have to go to school tomorrow.  I PROMISE that I will have
the next installment out MUCH sooner than this one was (Only
if you want me to continue).  I really need to hear what
everyone thinks about the story so far.  Feedback is so important
to me, I thrive on it.  So please tell me what you think.
 Thanks.......Dan's Baby
