Back at school, the boys fell into the same old routine and found their lives once again consumed by school and their home life. Though they were content most times to stick with their prospective mates, at least once a week the group  had a communal get together, but it didn't always end up with sex.

Sometimes they attended parties on or off campus, or just enjoyed a quiet dinner together. There were concerts and art fairs, and other events that interested them, either as a group or as couples and they were never bored.

They hadn't been in the recording studio for almost six months, but they had performed on campus a couple times, as well as a private party or two. As much as they enjoyed that, they knew that eventually they would have to release something new or risk being forgotten by their adoring public.

Fortunately for the group, Henry was already working on something to keep the group's name before the public. Henry showed up unexpectedly one evening, and after greeting him with hugs and handshakes, the group invited him to join them for dinner. As they sat around eating the lasagna and salad the boys had prepared, Henry outlined his plan.

"So, there's a concert over Christmas break in Vegas. There will be six bands performing all together, and I've managed to get Alternate Love booked as band number three. You'll go on right after The Goo Goo Dolls and will be followed by Blink 182."

"No way!" Aidan said, they're big...really big, and we'll be on the same stage? Wait, who else is performing? If they're two and four, who's number one?"

"Are you ready for this?" Henry chuckled, "how about 21 Pilots?"

"No fucking way!" Jaden exploded, "We're seriously going to be on the same stage as those guys?"

"This is big, big stuff," Aidan said dropping his fork and forgetting his food for the moment.

"Yes, very big...and parts of the concert will be recorded and mixed for a benefit CD for homeless youth."

"That's awesome," Aidan said excitedly, "What's the date of the concert?"

"December 28th. You'll still have time to spend Christmas with your families and a couple days to prepare for the concert."

"Oh man, we'll have to make sure we don't cover any of those guys' songs..." Aidan mused, "and maybe throw in that new song Isaac wrote. I think some JB might be good too." Aidan said more to himself than the others. Of all the boys Aidan was the most analytical and usually took charge when it came to logistics for the group.

"We need to start practicing asap," Isaac said then, "we're going to be performing right along beside some heavy bands, and we don't want to look like amateurs."

Henry laughed, "Amateurs? You guys have a million seller CD that stayed on the top 40 for three weeks in a row. I doubt anyone thinks of you as amateurs, but I leave it  up to you to do whatever you need too. Now, let's discuss pay," he said grinning as he produced some contracts for the boys to look over.

Later after Henry had gone back to his motel, the group sat around and discussed the upcoming concert.

"I say we donate half of our pay to the charity. What do you guys think?" Aidan said hopefully.

"I'm in," Jaden said, "it's a good cause, and it's not like we need the money."

Everyone agreed that donating half of their proceeds was a good idea, though Isaac said he thought it was best if they didn't go public with the news. "I just don't want people to think we're doing it for the publicity. If the media somehow finds out and leaks the news, well that's on them, but I don't think we should toot our own horn."

"I agree," Aidan said, "we'll keep it anonymous if we can, but you know how the media is, they have their ways of digging the truth out."

"So, we're all agreed, good. Now, I suggest we start deciding on what songs we're going to perform. Henry said six songs, tops. Now with Isaac's new song, that leaves five more to decide on..."

By the following week the boys had decided on the six songs to perform, as well as a backup just in case they were asked to do an encore. They were now spending almost every free moment rehearsing, but occasionally they would find time for a quiet dinner or some other diversion.

One Friday night as they sat eating Pizza at The Hut, Zak's phone alerted him to an incoming text. Pulling his phone from his pocket he was surprised to see the text was from his brother Jason.

"What's up babe?" Aidan said noticing Zak's frown.

"It's from Jason. He wants me to call him as soon as possible. I hope nothing has happened to mom or Mel..."

"Why don't you go outside and call him?" Aidan suggested, "I'll come with you."

Reluctantly Zak allowed Aidan to lead him outside where they could hear themselves think. With trembling hands he made the call and waited nervously for Jason to answer.

"Hey, it's me, what's up bro?"

"Nothing bad, I'm sorry if I scared you. It's...well...I need some help."

"Help? Uh, what's wrong? You know I'll do anything I can to help."

"Well, uh...I know I said I didn't want any of your money...but well..."

"Oh, is that all?" Zak said relieved, "how much you need bro? I can send a money-gram or deposit it to your account tonight."

"Uh, well...about 500 dollars. I know that's a lot..."

"That's not a lot, are you sure that's enough?"

"Ugh, yeah...I think so," Jason said sounding nervous.

"Jas, what's wrong...? I mean, really, you sound strange."

"I'm uh, I'm fine..." Jason said, but he didn't sound fine, "if it's too much to ask, I understand," he said sounding defeated.

"No, no...it's not that. You know you're welcome to anything I have, but I'm worried about you. You sound...nervous or something. Are you okay?"

"Well, of course I'm nervous," Jason snapped back, "I'm having to beg my little brother for fucking money. That's enough to make anyone nervous."

"Bro, you're not begging. I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make you feel bad. Give me your checking account number and I'll transfer the money as soon as we hang up, okay."

"Uh, okay...thanks," Jason said calming down some, "I appreciate it. My number is...."

"Okay, got it bro. I'll send it asap."

"Cool, cool...thanks. I uh, I gotta go now. Uh, thanks again Zak," Jason said sounding a little better.

"I love ya bro," Zak said, but Jason had already hung up.

"What was that all about?" Aidan asked.

"Uh, it was weird, Aidan. Jason needs 500 dollars, and that's no big deal, but he sounded strange. I think he might be in some kind of trouble or something. Anyway, I'm going to send him a thousand just in case. I just need to do a transfer," he said fumbling with his phone and finally opening his Chase banking app.

"Maybe I should send two thousand," Zak said to himself.

"Zak, if he asked for 500, a thousand should be fine. You can send more if he needs it, but...I think we should take a little drive tomorrow and have a talk with him."

"You think so? Yeah, that might be a good idea," Zak agreed, "Okay, I sent a thousand. Let's go back and finish our pizza."

"Okay babe. And don't worry, we'll figure this out. Jason is a level-headed kid, he's probably just got some bills he needs to pay or something."

"I hope so, I hope so," Zak muttered as they went back inside.

They didn't share their concerns about Jason, and played the whole thing off and everyone left it at that. Jaden knew his brother well enough to know that he'd fill him in later if he thought it was needed, but for now he was content to let him and Zak deal with whatever was going on with Jason.

The next morning at breakfast, Aidan announced that he and Zak were taking a little drive back home to visit with Zak's folks, and Jason. Red flags went up everywhere then and Jaden finally asked what was going on.

"Okay, guys...what's really going on?" Jaden said looking at the two expectantly.

Aidan left it to Zak to tell as little or as much as he felt necessary, and was not surprised to hear him spill everything, including his feeling that something was up with Jason.  This group of guys and one girl were like family, and Zak knew anything he said would remain in strict confidence and that there would be no judgement, only support from them.

"You want us to go with?" Jaden asked simply.

"Nah, that's not necessary," Zak said, "it's probably nothing, but I just won't rest till I know for sure."

"Well, you know we're here if you need us honey," Dee said giving Zak a hug, "Jason's a good guy, he's probably just gotten over his head with all the work and school and stuff he has going on. Celine said the two of them have been hanging out a lot, so maybe he's finding having a girlfriend expensive," she offered.

"Yeah, yeah...maybe that's it," Zak chuckled, "If that's all it is, we can fix that easy enough. Thanks guys for understanding, I'll let you know what we find out, but for now...just let me and Aidan handle things."

Though they offered to help clean up, the others shooed them off and soon the two were on the road home. It was about a two hour drive, during which time they talked about everything but the elephant in the room, Jason.

They arrived at Zak's house shortly after 11 and were happy to see Jason's car in the driveway. They'd just pulled in and had yet to get out when Jason suddenly appeared at the door staring out at them but not approaching.

"Hey," Jason said as they made their way to the front door.

"Hey, bro...is mom and Mel home?"

"Nah, they went shopping," Jason said ushering the two inside, "what's up, uh...you didn't drive all this way just to see me did you?"

"Well, I'm not gonna lie bro," Zak said, "I'm a little worried about you."

"If it's about the money..."

"Bro, the money is the last thing I'm worried about. What's going on with you...really?"

Jason sighed and sunkinto the sofa, his head down and his arms crossed. He considered lying or playing the whole thing off, but he respected his bro and Aidan too much to pretend everything was all right.

"I uh, I uh owe this guy 500 bucks for...for some...well, things were spinning out of control and I  just needed something to help me cope...you know, to give me some energy...and well, this guy at school he knew some guy who could get me what I needed..."

"Oh bro," Zak said sitting down by his big brother and pulling him into a hug, "Drugs, you took drugs?"

Jason nodded, "Not all the time, but eventually I was into this guy for all this money and...he said if I didn't pay him he'd...he'd go after mom and dad."

"Shit," Aidan hissed, though he rarely cursed, this was a special occasion, "but you're not still taking drugs, right. Please tell me you're not still taking drugs."

"Nah, I...um, I swear I quit taking them. It hasn't been easy, but I'm clean...I just need to pay this guy and it's over with."

"Bro..." Zak began. He really didn't know what to say. He was disappointed in his older brother, but he knew shaming him wasn't going to help matters any, "I'm just glad you came to me for help. Now we can fix things and you can relax."

"I feel awful...I let a lot of people down, and Celine...she stood by me all this time, but I know she knew something was wrong."

"You two are getting along pretty well then?" Aidan asked.

"I love her, but she deserves someone better than me," Jason sobbed.

"Bro, don't beat yourself up. You messed up, we all mess up sometimes, but you took the first step and that's what's important. We're here for you and we'll help you get through this, but...I think you should tell Celine what happened. You owe her that much."

"I know, but I'm afraid...afraid she won't want to have anything to do with me once she knows what a loser I am."

"You're not a loser Jas," Aidan said moving in on the other side of Jason, "You're a great guy, and she's lucky to have you in her life. Don't you think you're being a little unfair to her by assuming she doesn't care enough for you to accept that you made a mistake?"

"I guess...I guess you're right, but it's gonna be so hard."

"You can do it, and the sooner the better. When are you guys getting together next?"

"We have a date tonight, but since you guys are here..."

"No, keep your date, but first...we need to take care of this guy you owe money to."

"Uh, yeah...okay, I was about to call him when you guys showed up."

"We need to go with you...to pay him," Aidan insisted.

"I don't know, he might not like that..."

"Tough, I want him to understand that you're not alone and that if  he has any ideas about harassing you or your folks he's gonna have to suffer the consequences."

"Okay, but...this guy is not the kind of guy you mess with. He's tough and he carries a gun."

"We're not gonna fight him, but there's strength in numbers," Aidan insisted, even though the news of confronting an armed drug dealer wasn't exactly his idea of a walk in the park.

"I should call him. I sort of promised him the money today," Jason said looking nervous.

"Yeah, do it bro, and arrange to meet him somewhere public," Zak suggested.

"Yeah, we usually meet at the mall," Jason laughed, "but how about somewhere outside, like Target or something?"

"Yeah, Target is good. Tell him we'll be in a white Mustang convertible, let him dwell on that," Aidan chuckled.

Jason made the call, and there was a quick exchange of information, but the dealer agreed to Jason's terms, seemingly pleased to be getting paid. He'd tried to extort another hundred out of Jason, but to his credit, he held firm and said the 500 was all he had, even if it was a lie.

The Target was busy that day, but they had no problem spotting the guy's White Cadillac Escalade parked sideways, taking up two spots at the far end of the lot.

"That's it," Jason said pointing, "that's Leon's Caddy. Wanna hear something fucked up? He bought it from the dealership where Mel works, but Mel wasn't the salesman."

"Wow, so...does he know who Mel is?"

"Yeah, he knows...somehow he knows."

Aidan nodded, "Okay, let's do this," he said as they parked next to the Cadillac.

"You're coming too?" Jason said sounding worried.

"Yes, we're not letting you go out there alone," Zak said, answering for them both.

"Okay, but...let me do the talking."

"For now," Aidan said, not promising more.

"Well, who we got here?" Leon said from his open window. He was white, average height, probably 200 pounds, and had a cross tattooed on each ear lobe. There were other tattoos on his arms, and he looked street wise and tough, but his face was actually quite handsome. Under other circumstances, Aidan might have found him sexy, but as it was, he felt nothing but disgust for the man.

"Family," Jason said quickly, not explaining further, "I got your money. Let's just get this over with and forget we ever met."

"That hurts," Leon said pretending to be wounded, "I did you a favor bro, and I let you ride for a long time. Now, it's time to pay up, but don't go making me the bad guy here."

"Here," Jason said thrusting the envelope toward Leon, "count it, it's all there."

"No one ever cheats me," Leon said laying the envelope in the seat beside him, "what about you boys, you need some consumables or anything else?" he said eying Aidan and Zak.

"We don't do drugs," Zak said through clenched teeth.

"Well, aren't you the cutest little thing," Leon said, surprising them with his choice of words, "Hey, wait a minute...I know who you are...you're that drummer boy from that gay band?"

"What about it, I'm sure it's not your kind of music," Zak snapped back.

"Whoa, feisty one, ain't he? Wait, this is your boyfriend ain't it? One of the twins. I know you guys. I should feel honored to meet you in person," Leon laughed.

"So, you must also know we have connections and a lot of power in this town and this state," Aidan said, speaking up at last, "so...just in case you think you can cause Jason or his family any problems in the future, you can forget that."

"Hey, I'm strictly a business man. I offer a service and people pay me for it. We're done here as far as I'm concerned. No need to get all bent out of shape."

"Fine, then I guess we're done," Aidan said moving toward the car.

"Yeah, we're done," Leon laughed, "oh, and by the way...I have one of your CDs, he said winking, "I like all kinds of music," he added, then he drove off slowly, leaving the three to stare after him.

"That went well, better than I expected."

"Yeah, he's not all that badass, he's just...serious about his business, I guess."

"Scumbag," Aidan fumed, "he'll get his, just wait and see," he muttered, hoping he was right.

Back at Jason's house, they were surprised to find that the brothers' folks were home. They greeted the two with open arms and offered them a drink, which they gratefully accepted. As they sat around talking, the subject of the reason for their visit came up.

"Oh, we had some things we needed to do here in town and just thought we drop by and visit a little," Zak said hoping his mom didn't see through his little white lie.

"That's wonderful. How is everything at school?" she said, accepting his explanation without question.

"Great, we're really busy, and I'm sure you've heard about the concert in Vegas?" Aidan said.

"Yes, we're so proud of you boys," she said beaming, "Our little Zaky, a famous rock star."

Aidan couldn't help but notice the look on Jason's face when she said those words. It must be hard to live in your younger brother's shadow,  Aidan thought, but so far he'd handled it well. Still, this drug thing might be a cry for help, and it might not be just about his workload or his relationship with Celine.

"You should be proud of Jason too," Zak said smiling, "look at him, working and going to school, and doing it all on his own."

"Yes, I'm proud of both my boys," his mom said smiling at her older son, "Jason is such a help around here too. I love having him here. I'm so glad he didn't go off to college like you did."

Whoa, where did that come from? Zak wondered, Was she expecting too much of Jason? Was part of his problem that he felt the need to live up to those expectations? It wasn't fair, Jason should have a chance to live his own life as he chose. If only he'd accept my help, Zak thought, I could get him a place of his own and he could be his own person.

"Ah, it's no big deal," Jason said brushing it off.

"No, your mother is right, but sometimes I feel like you've got too much on your plate," Mel said, "and if you ever need to back off a little, just tell us."

"I'm fine," Jason mumbled, but  he didn't look fine, in fact he looked tired and strung out.

"We promised to take Jason out to dinner," Aidan said, even though they hadn't discussed such a plan, he felt it was a good idea.

"Oh, well...I was going to suggest I cook for you guys, but that's fine. Mel and I were going to the casino, so I guess we'll just keep our plans as they were."

"Sounds fun," Zak said, "you two enjoy, we'll keep Jason busy."

Once outside, Jason reminded the two that he had promised to pick Celine up later for dinner.

"She can come too," Aidan said, "if you don't mind. We'll leave you two to do...whatever," he chuckled, "but we'd like to meet her, and anyway, we all need to eat."

"That's fine," Jason said sounding distracted, "she'll be fine with it too. She just likes getting out of the house once in a while."

They drove around for a while till it was time to pick up Celine, and when they pulled up at her place she was waiting at the door, but when she saw Jason wasn't alone she hesitated before coming out. Jason had driven his car because it was roomier than the Mustang, and Aidan and Zak were in the back seat, but they quickly climbed out when the car came to a halt.

Seeing Jason at last, Celine came out to greet them and gave him a hug and peck on the lips.

"Hi," she said smiling shyly at the other two boys.

"Hi Celine," Aidan said smiling, "you look nice. I'm sorry if you were expecting to have Jason all to yourself, but we kind of kidnapped him. The good news is: we're taking you two out to dinner so we can get to know each other better."

"Oh, well...that's nice," she said looking at Jason who just smiled.

"Is that okay babe?" Jason said then.

"Well, sure...let me tell mom I'm leaving, I'll be right back."

She returned a few minutes later wearing a bright red sweater with white embroidery, and the four loaded up and drove to the restaurant. Aidan had suggested Landry's, an upper scale restaurant that his folks frequented, insisting that it was his and Zak's treat.

Jason's first impulses was to object to Aidan and Zak spending that much money on them, but considering he'd just begged money from Zak he supposed that would sound hypocritical.

The place was busy and there was a 15 minute wait for a table, during which time they chatted and got to know each other better. Their wait paid off however when they were finally seated at a nice table with a view of the courtyard. When the weather was agreeable, the courtyard was used for outdoor dining, but at the moment it was closed, though it still offered a pleasant view with it's fountain and lights.

"This is really nice," Celine said picking up her menu. She noticed there were no prices on her menu, but since Aidan had already said they were paying, she didn't worry about the cost. She knew the two boys sitting across from her were famous, and no doubt rich, and though she didn't begrudge them their fame or fortune, she preferred the company of someone more down to earth, like Jason.

She'd taken to Jason immediately, and couldn't get him off her mind. She thought about him day and night, and counted the minutes till they'd be together again. She'd never been in love before, or even had a crush on a boy, but her feelings for Jason were strong, and she if not love, it was surely love in the making.

"I'm having the steak," Zak said after perusing the menu, "medium rare," he said raising an eyebrow.

"Hmm...I'm going to have the chicken with rice," Aidan said, "I used to get that when mom and dad brought us here. It's so good."

"Chicken sounds nice," Celine said, grateful she didn't have to make a selection on her own.

"Uh, I guess I'll have the steak too," Jason said.

The waiter brought their drinks and took their order, and they fell back into conversation while they waited. They watched people come and go, and a few gave the two semi-famous  boys that: isn't that someone famous look? but no one approached them.

"Do you guys get bothered with autograph hounds very often?" Celine asked, noticing a family with a teenage daughter staring at the two boys.

"Not as much as when we were touring and still fresh. Since we've gone off to college it's not nearly as bad. The kids at school respect our privacy for the most part, even though most everyone there knows who we are. We perform at parties and functions there, sometimes for free, so they don't want to push us too hard I guess," Aidan said.

"So, this Vegas thing. Is it going to be a broadcast on TV or anything?" Jason asked then.

"No, but we want everyone to be there and we'll arrange plane tickets and motel rooms. Celine, you should come too," Zak said excitedly.

"Oh, I don't know...I don't know if I can get off work..."

"Aww, maybe your manager will work around your schedule," Jason said surprising everyone, "I don't wanna go if you're not there with me."

"Well, I could ask. What's that date again...?"

Their meals came eventually, and the conversation slowed as they dug into their food. The food was excellent and the company even more so, and everyone was  having a good time. It was hard to believe that only a short time ago they'd been paying off a drug dealer and dealing with Jason's problems.

When the check came, Aidan pulled out his card and paid, including a hundred dollar tip for the waiter, a cute guy who's name tag said Donnie. When he returned with the receipt and Aidan's card he was bubbling over with thanks, and only then mentioned that he'd recognized the two, and assured them he had all their CDs.

"Well, so much for not being recognized," Aidan said once they were outside.

"That was nice, leaving that big tip. I know those guys work hard, and sometimes, even in nice places like this, they get stiffed," Celine said, "I know because I used to wait tables myself."

"Yeah, I agree. I learned from my dad about tipping," Aidan said, "even though we weren't as well off as some people, dad always made sure to tip the waiter or waitress generously."

"It's only money," Zak laughed, "If we can make one person happy, then it's worth every penny."

Jason thought about the extra 500 dollars Zak had sent, and though he'd planned on giving it back at first, now he was wondering it he shouldn't keep it. Would it offend his little brother if he returned it as if he didn't appreciate the effort? He'd definitely have to think about that some more. It would be nice to have some extra money to take Celine someplace nice and not have to pinch pennies.

"Just drop us off at my car and we'll leave you two love birds to enjoy the rest of your evening," Aidan said grinning.

"It was really nice of you boys to take us out," Celine said then, "thank you so much, but you don't have to go on my account."

"Well, we have a long drive back home, and you guys need some alone time," Zak offered, "we had a great time, but it's getting late, and the gang is expecting us home tonight."

"All right, thanks again," Celine said. Except for Zak and Dee she really didn't know the gang very well, but after tonight she realized that rich and famous or not, at least one of the twins was a great person.

"It was really nice meeting you at last," Aidan said giving Celine a little hug as she and Jason walked them to their car, "you take care of our boy here," he added giving Jason a hug as well.

"I will, thanks again. It was nice meeting you too. Zak, honey...it was good seeing you again," she said hugging Jason's little brother.

"You two have fun," Zak said giving a little wave, "Jason, call me if you need anything, okay bro?"

"Will do," Jason said smiling, "thanks little bro."

When the two boys were gone, Jason suggested they go for a drive.

"I need to tell you something, and it can't wait. If I don't do it now, it will eat at me till I'm useless."

"Oh," Celine said frowning, "is it about us? Are you breaking up with me?"

"No, nothing like that, but you may want to break up with me when you hear what I have to tell you."

"Nothing could be that bad," she assured him, "I...I love you Jason."

"You...you do?" Jason said, not disguising his glee, "I love you too...I have since we met."

"Then whatever it is, we'll work things out," she assured him, touching his arm gently and leaning in to kiss him on the cheek.

"That all I get?" Jason pouted, then leaning in and puckering up, he was rewarded with a toe curling, eye opening kiss on the lips, "that's more like it."

On the way home, Zak and Aidan were discussing Jason's situation and all that had happened. They were both in agreement that Celine was a nice person and good for Jason, but they still vowed to keep an eye on him to make sure there was no repeat of the drug episode.

"Do you think she knows?" Zak asked.

"No, I'm sure she doesn't. She'd probably have talked him out of it if she had known. I just hope he tells her what happens so she can keep an eye on him as well."

"Hmm...should we tell her?"

"No, it's not our story to tell. It needs to come from him. We promised Jason to keep this between the three of us. I'm not even gonna tell J, unless he tortures me," Aidan laughed.

"You can't keep secrets from him," Zak insisted, "I think Jason would expect you to tell your other half."

"Yeah, you're probably right," Aidan said, "but I worry about what J might do. I mean, he hates drug dealers and drugs with passion. He may go gunning for Leon," he chuckled.

"Well, you don't have to tell him Leon's name or anything."

"Yeah, I guess."

Miles behind them, Jason pulled his car into a nearby park and turned off the engine. Beside him Celine sat nervously waiting for Jason to begin, but as he began to spin his tale she relaxed some. It wasn't about her or their relationship and that was a good thing, and now it was about helping Jason heal, and making sure he didn't go down this path again.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you how bad things were," Jason said hanging his head in shame, "I thought I could handle it, but it just got out of control."

"It's okay. You stopped using and you got help, and...now that I know I'll make sure things don't get that bad again. I love you, and we're in this together," she said pulling him in for a hug.

Jason buried his face in Celine's sizeable breasts and breathed in her sweet fragrance. Though so far they'd done nothing beyond some heavy petting, tonight he wanted her so badly he almost ached.

"I love you so much," Jason said kissing her neck passionately before attacking her lips.

Within seconds their hands were roaming each other's bodies as their lips pressed together hungrily. Despite the fact that Celine had absolutely no experience with sex, she found herself desperately pawing at Jason's crotch.

Surprised, but welcoming her attention, Jason moaned in pleasure as she rubbed his erection through his jeans. Then surprising him even further, she began fumbling with his top button, and after finally lowering his zipper, she retrieved her prize.

"Are you...are you sure?" Jason gasped.

"Yessss," Celine said as she began stroking him with enthusiasm.

She marveled at how good Jason's cock felt in her hand. Velvety smooth, yet rock hard, like silk over steel, she thought. Wet, she thought, that must be the precum I've read about in stories, and he smells so good.

"Ah, um...be careful...I might not last too long..."

Desperate to make this the best ever for her man, Celine conjured up a mental image of the things she'd read in those romantic sex-filled novels and lowered herself onto Jason's rigid pole.

At first she gagged, then realizing her error, she pulled up some and wrapped her hand around the shaft to control how much would enter her mouth.

"Oh...oh..." Jason gasped in disbelief. Was Celine really making love to his cock? Yes, it was real, and it was the most amazing feeling ever. Why? he wondered. Was it because he loved Celine and  it wasn't just about sex? Whatever the reason, he was quite sure of two things, that it was the best feeling ever, and...that he wasn't going to last very long.

"Am I doing okay?" Celine asked pulling up and looking into Jason's eyes hopefully.

"Oh yeah...but I'm close...better pull up," he warned.

"No, I want you to...um, in my mouth, she said blushing.

"Are you sure?" Jason asked looking dazed.

Without answering, Celine went down on Jason again, this time reaching into his underwear as she gently rubbed his nuts as she sucked.

"OH...oh...shiiiiiitttttt," Jason gasped as his dick suddenly erupted into Celine's unsuspecting mouth.

At first she gagged from the shear volume and velocity of his ejaculation, but eventually she managed to get it under control as he continued to fire off volley after volley of hot thick cum.

"Oh my God......" Jason cried..."so good...so good."

Eventually Jason settled down and all that was left was a slow ooze as Celine finally managed to swallow the copious amount of spunk that he had produced.

"Ugh...that was crazy...so intense...but I'm a little sensitive now," Jason said gently lifting Celine off of him.

"Was it really good?"

"Oh baby, it was amazing. Whew, I really wasn't expecting that either," he panted, "thank you, so much. You have no idea how much I needed that."

"I loved doing it for you, but I was worried I'd mess it up. That was my...um, first time."

"Wow, you're a fast learner," Jason chuckled, "but now it's my turn, I mean...if you'll let me..."

"Oh Jason, not here. I just wanted to make you feel good. When we do...um, you know...I want it to be special and in a bed."

"Oh, well...what I meant was...you know, the oral thing. I can do that to you."

"Oh, well..." she said feeling her excitement build. She knew about oral sex for girls too, but of course she had no practical experience. Did Jason? she wondered. Of course he did, he'd probably been with lots of girls that way.

"Relax," Jason said leaning in to kiss her. He could taste his own spunk on her lips and tongue, and he lapped at it playfully, "umm...I taste good, but I bet you taste even better," he said nuzzling her ear then.

"Oh...um...well...what do I need to do?"

"Let's get these panties down," he growled. Fortunately, she was wearing a dress, which made access to her privates much easier.

"You're smooth," Jason growled, "I like that," he added moving in to kiss  her girl parts.

"Oh...oh...yessss," she moaned as Jason's wicked tongue went to work.

Though she'd masturbated many times, nothing had ever felt as good as Jason's tongue on her most private parts. She'd lost count of how many orgasms she'd had, and was rolling her head side to side mumbling in tongues as he continued.

"Did I do okay?" Jason asked when his tongue had finally gone numb.

"Oh...yesss...perfect. It was the best feeling I've ever had," she said pulling Jason in for a kiss.

"I guess we both learned something today," Jason said beaming, "because...that was the first time I ever...you know? with a girl."

"I have to say I'm surprised," Celine gushed, "a real fox like you, I just figured you'd been with a lot of girls."

This was where Jason should've confessed that he'd been into boys and that was why he didn't have much time for girls, but somehow he just couldn't bring  himself to share that factoid at the moment. Celine looked up to him and thought he was special, and he was worried that her opinion of him would diminish once she learned the truth.

"I never met a girl like you before," Jason said instead, "maybe I've just been waiting for the right girl to come along."

"Oh Jason, that's so sweet," Celine gushed, "you make me feel special and all woman. I...I know it's early to say this, but I think I'm in love with you."

Jason was speechless for a moment, then he smiled and leaned in to kiss Celine gently on the lips, "Lady,  I don't even have to think...I know I'm in love with you."

"Oh Jason," Celine said breaking into tears, "I do love you, I do...I was just afraid you didn't feel the same way or  you'd think I was silly."

"No way, this is awesome," Jason said hugging her to him, then blushing a bit, he added, "Maybe we should get dressed now."

"Oh, yeah," she giggled, "but I wish we could spend a night together and not have to worry about clothes," she said blushing.

"I'll figure something out," Jason assured her, "soon...it will be a special time for us."

"Every minute with you is special," Celine said sincerely.

"I know babe, I feel the same way, but I'll make it even more special..."

********************************

It was the following Wednesday before Jaden began to ask questions about why Aidan and Zak had sped off to Jason's that afternoon. At first Aidan was evasive, but Zak was right, he really couldn't keep anything from his twin, so eventually he gave in and spilled the whole story.

"So, let me get this straight, there's a scumbag on the streets of our beautiful home town selling drugs to people, including one of our gang, and no one is doing anything about it?"

"What can we do? We paid him off and made it clear he'd better not mess with Jason again."

"But what about all the other people, maybe even kids this scum bag is targeting? He could be selling drugs to kids at the high school, hell even the junior high or god forbid, grade school."

"I guess I never thought about that J, but what can we do?"

"We know his name, we know what he drives, and we know what he looks like, right?  I  mean could you identify him in a lineup?"

"Yeah, but it's our word against his J. Even scum bags and drug dealers have rights."

"Then we need to catch him in the act or something."

"J...we're not going to go after a drug dealer," Aidan warned, "he might even have a gun for all we know."

"What if we told dad? He has friends on the police department and I know his company donated  a bunch of money to the Drug Free campaign we ran that year."

"Well, I guess we could do that, but.."

"But what?"

"I hate to out Jason that way. I mean, he told us this in strict confidence."

"Yeah, you're right. I'll have to think about this some more," Jaden said zoning out for a moment, "I'll get back to you."

Aidan laughed, he knew if anyone could do something about Leon it was his brother. He always found a way to do anything he set out to do. Anyway, he and Zak had done their part and he was tired of thinking about it. Right now he just wanted to find Zak and cuddle up somewhere.

The boys fell back into a routine of school, and rehearsing, but they found time for the occasional party or night out just to keep their sanity. The days and weeks passed quickly and by the middle of December they felt like they were ready for the concert three days after Christmas.

That was not to say that they still didn't practice occasionally, but there wasn't the pressure that there had been earlier. They had the set down pat, and had even added one more encore just in case. They'd contacted Henry and he'd contacted the production team for them and secured five minutes of time for the twins to make a special announcement. Everything was set and the boys were eager for the time to arrive for their first big event in over a year.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Reynolds was busy working on the arrangements for the double wedding, and had found a nice Unitarian Church which welcomed the family with open arms. The boys had even driven down a couple of Sundays to meet with the Minister and check the place out. The congregation was very diverse and included two lesbian couples with kids, as well as a few single lesbian and gay individuals. There was no judgement there, and the boys felt very comfortable with the little church and it's members.

The news of the double wedding was of interest to the record companies promotion department, but Henry had convinced them to keep things light and not too intrusive, and in exchange the happy couples would provide pictures from the wedding as well as video clips.

There was some interesting news just before Christmas. It seemed that Leon had been caught soliciting an undercover cop for drugs and had wound up in jail. Of course his father hired the best lawyer, but at the very least Leon would be doing some jail time and some sort of community service or rehab.

"Did you have anything to do with that?" Aidan asked his brother once he'd heard the news.

"Who me?" Jaden said feigning innocence.

"What did you do J?" Aidan laughed, "Not that I care what happens to that jackass, but I didn't know you had those kind of connections.

"Little brother, I know a few people, that's all. Maybe someday I'll tell you all about it, but for now...just be satisfied that Leon won't be selling drugs to little kids anymore. I just wish we could take all the drug dealers down, but unfortunately a new one pops up every time one goes down."

"Well, whatever you did, thanks. I'm sure Jason and Celine will be happy to know Leon's out of the way."

"You're welcome, now....I'm starved, let's go get some eats."
