CHAPTER NINETEEN

"let's spend the night together, now i need you more than ever..."

☆☆☆

(smut warning)

He roughly pushed my body on the wall, attacking my neck with hot wet kisses as I let out sounds of pleasure.

I tangled my fingers in his hair and let him continue his actions, since I was enjoying it very much.

"Wait." I said and he stopped but he on looking at me with a hungry, lustful expression.

I grabbed his hand and pushed him on the bed. "Undress." I demanded and he smirked, obeying my demand.

I grabbed his scarf and tightly tied it around his eyes. "Blindfold, huh? Very kinky, I like it." "Wait until you see the rest of the stuff that I have in store for you." I said and his smirk expanded into a toothy grin. I took his hands in mine and put handcuffs around them, restricting him from making moves.

I wrapped my hand around his dick, slowly moving it up and down. He groaned at that but then frowned. "Faster!" he whined and I rolled my eyes. "No. You'll have to be patient." I said and he whined. His whining came to an end when my hand found his cheek, slapping him as he moaned out loudly. "I said no." "Yes, mistress..." he replied and I smirked. "Good boy..."

I then wrapped my lips around his dick and moved my head down, taking as much of him as I could.

He loved that.

I kept on going up and down until I heard him say "I'm gonna...", being rudely cut off by a moan escaping from his lips. "Hold it." I said and he nodded. "Such a good boy..." I said as I straddled him, finally letting him inside of me since I couldn't take the feeling between my legs anymore.

"Fuck..." he moaned, only now I was joining him in filling up the room with sounds of pleasure.

"I can't hold it much longer!" he moaned. "You better hold it because I'm not even close yet." I said and increased the speed. "I can't!" he kept on moaning. "Fuck, Harrison!"

I quickly got up and took a few breaths.

Holy shit, what a dream!

"Juliette?" I heard Izzy's sleepy voice and turned my head to the side. "Is everything okay?" he asked, sitting up. I shot him a small smile and nodded.

Yeah, everything is fine, I just had a sex dream about a man who wasn't you while you're right here lying next to me!

Wait, why do I feel guilty?

"Yeah, everything is fine. I just had an intense dream, that's all." I said and he nodded. He gently kissed my shoulder which made me smile.

I mean, at least I'm not completely lying.

I put my hand on his cheek and sweetly pecked his lips, enjoying the warmth of his body so close to mine, since he was the man I truly wanted.

Heard that subconscious?

Even tho I went in for a peck, Izzy dragged it out and we started making out.

Not that I mind it...

"Do you want me to help you forget about that terrible dream?" he wiggled his eyebrows as I bit my lip. "And how are you going to do that?" I challenged him and he smiled. "I have some aces up my sleeve." he winked and I chuckled. "Even tho I'd love that, we've already fucked two times in one day and I really want energy for the dinner tomorrow." I said and he smiled. "Alright, fair enough. You're not escaping the cuddles tho." he pointed a finger at my face and I smiled. "I wouldn't miss those for the world." I said and kissed him.

"The potatoes and the chicken are officially ready." I said as I took the food out of the oven. "The desert needs another thirty minutes but other than that, everything is ready." Kassidy said and I smiled.

"Gonna set this on the table, come sit." I said, referring to the freshly cooked chicken.

I purposely got in between of Izzy and Maxine to set the chicken on the table, stopping their conversation.

Ah, yes... I forgot to mention Maxine came to eat with us! A girl that Steven thought would be an "amazing" match for Izzy.

Steven never actually used those words in front of Izzy because he didn't want to tell him he was trying to set him up with her, even tho it was incredibly obvious.

I looked over at Erin and rolled my eyes, making her giggle. She knew that I was in love with Izzy and she also knew that I hated seeing him with Maxine.

By the looks of it, he's not having much fun either.

I went back into the kitchen and sighed.

Why can't they just let him be single?

I grabbed a bottle of wine, the last item that had to be placed in the table and then took a seat next to Izzy.

Izzy smiled when he realised I was seated right next to him. "You look wonderful tonight." he quickly whispered in my ear before turning to Maxine again.

I smiled at that. It was little things like that that really made me fall for Izzy, other than his incredible personality.

I then looked over at Slash and raised my eyebrow at him. His eyes were following Maxine's every single move. He was staring at her but he wasn't judging her or just picturing her naked,

Trust me, at this point, I can tell

he was admiring her.

He was mesmerised by her, looking at her as if she was a beautiful painting at a museum, not to be touched.

Once he noticed that I was looking at him, he blushed and immediately looked down.

Yep, man is crushing. HARD.

It was funny seeing a womaniser like Slash turn all cute and shy because of some chick. Don't get me wrong, Maxine was beautiful, I just never thought there was a woman out there that could make Slash act this way.

Usually, when he saw something that caught his eye, he immediately went for it. He never hesitated, he just went in.

The whole situation with Maxine was tricky tho, Steven was trying to set her up with their bandmate and best friend, not him, no matter how much he wished otherwise.

I could see the gears turning in his head. He was trying to think of a way to steal Maxine from Izzy, especially since he saw that Izzy wasn't even that interested.

"Juliette, can you give me some ice cubes?" Slash said and I nodded even tho I found it very strange since we were drinking wine.

I got up from my seat and he immediately said "I'll come with.". I softly shook my head. "It's just ice cubes, Slash. I think I can bring you them." I said and Slash looked at me intensely, like he wanted to say something but he couldn't. Not in front of anyone, at least.

"Oh, yeah you can come and show me which kind of ice cubes you'd like, I got some new shapes and stuff." I lamely tried to cover for him and he smiled. "Yes! Sounds perfect." he replied and rushed to the kitchen, grabbing my hand on the way and dragging me behind him.

Once we got in, he wasted no time in breaking the silence and confirming my suspicions.

"Juliette, you gotta help me, man." he said and I turned my head to the side. "With what?" I tried to act clueless. "Maxine, she's too good for Izzy." he said and I chuckled. "Wow, the amount of faith you have in your friend is unbelievable, makes me emotional." I sarcastically replied and he sighed.

"I don't mean it as an insult to Izzy, no one deserves her." he said and looked down. I put my hand on his back to comfort him a little and took a deep breath. "I know the feeling."

A little too much...

"I'm gonna regret this but... How can I help?" I said and Slash smiled. "You don't have to do much, just keep reminding Izzy how hot you are." he said, as if he suggested something normal. "I know Izzy's type, okay? He might not be interested in a date with her because he's obviously in love with you but he's definitely gonna sleep with her if we let him. That's where you come in. By showing him how hot you are and making him sexually frustrated, he won't even think about sleeping with her, only with you. Bonus if you two end up actually sleeping him eachother." "That's the best plan you could possibly come up with?" I said and laughed.

"How about, I keep Izzy busy while you make a move on Maxine." "I mean, that could work but won't teasing him be more fun?" he smirked and I rolled my eyes. "You just keep your mind on getting Maxine and let me keep Izzy busy my way." I said and he sighed. "You're no fun." he said just when I heard a cough come from the kitchen door.

"I just, uhh, wanted a beer." Izzy said and came over at Slash and I.

Sure... A beer.

"Here are the ice cubes, Slash." "Oh, yeah. Thanks, Juliette!" he said and leaned in "You're the best." he wishpered in my ear and kissed my cheek.

I smiled and watched him as he exited.

Struck by cupid's arrow...

I then turned my head to Izzy, who had his eyebrow raised. "What was that about?" he asked in annoyance. I opened the refrigerator door and said "That is... ", grabbing a beer for him. I closed the door, revealing Izzy right behind it. "None of your business." I continued, bopping his nose teasingly.

He looked annoyed by that too,

Or should I say... Jealous.

however, I didn't care.

"Oh, don't be so mean. Tell me." he begged and I rolled my eyes. "Not happening, hot stuff." I said and he frowned.

Then I could see a light bulb light up over his head.

"You're gonna regret that..." he whispered in my ear with a flirty tone and a smirk.

A smirk that I really wanted to wipe off his stupid face.

Why is he so handsome?...

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." I said and winked at him, handed him his beer and exited the kitchen, teasingly moving my hips on the way out.

"Fuck..." I heard Izzy mumble under his breath before returning to the table.

He's not sleeping with Maxine. Not under my watch.

When I did return, I saw that Slash was now sitting on Izzy's seat, which Steven seemed displeased by. I returned to my seat and sighed a little.

I just wanted to sit close to Izzy...

Izzy seemed a little confused by that and then looked around the table. Then he realised. Izzy rolled his eyes and shot Steven a death glare.

"Maxine, did you know Izzy started out with drums?" Steven said and Maxine shot him one of the dirtiest looks I had ever seen. "It's Max."

~

"I can't believe you!" Izzy said and I quickly turned around, feeling a little shocked.

What's up with Izzy and following me to the bathroom?

"Oh my lord, how dare I use the restroom?" I made fun of him and Izzy shook his head. "This is totally a set up!" he said and I chuckled.

The fact that he didn't realise sooner is funny, he's so freaking cute.

"It really is." I said and laughed. "And you're just letting this happen?" he said with a confused look on his face . "How am I supposed to know you're not enjoying this?" I defended myself and he shook his head. "I'm not enjoying this, you are! I'm suffering out there. First, Steven sets me up with a girl, without my consent and then Slash steals her! This is ridiculous!" He said and I laughed "I kind of am." I replied and giggled but he shot me a death glare. "I mean, she's pretty, you're pretty, she's single, you're single." "And now occupied by Slash."

But hey! I'm pretty and single too...

"But anyway, I don't even care about that. I might be single but I'm not looking for commitment!"

...

Oh...

This is getting good...

"Since when?" "Since you came up with this idea." he said and took a deep breath. "Why would I want to stop this?" he smirked and I just looked at him, a confused expression on my features."By this you mean?" I asked and he rolled his eyes.

He slowly came closer and put a strand of my hair behind my ears. He looked at me deep in the eyes and slightly smiled. He closed the gap between our faces and passionately kissed me, making me feel weak in the knees.

"This." he said as we tried to catch our breaths. "We both like this. We don't want this to end. This is why we're not looking for a relationship."

"Hold up, Stradlin. This is why you're not looking for a relationship, you mean. If I was looking for a relationship this wouldn't have started at all." I said and he paused. He took a moment to think before replying. "I thought when we set the agreement, you said that it'd end if one of us gets in a relationship." he said and I sighed "This ends if you get in a relationship." "And then why aren't you looking for a relationship?" "Because I'm not ready. The events of my last relationship are a lot to take in. I don't think I have recovered from it, I still need time to myself." I explained.

And I'm in love with you but let's not mention  that.

"Besides, if I was interested in a relationships we'd probably be dating right now. " I said and instantly regretted it.

I call that too much wine.

"What?" Izzy said with an amused smirk. "Nothing." I quickly replied, making him chuckle.

"What makes you think we'd date?" he said with a challenging look on his face. "Oh, please! We have chemistry, it's so obvious!" I said, instantly regretting that too.

Boy, I'm on fire tonight!

"So, I'm not just some guy that's good looking enough for you to fuck around with?" he said with a smile on his face.

My poor baby, who treated you like that?

"Why would you ever think that?" my expression softened as I put my hand on his cheek. "All girls I sleep with think that." he said and I sighed. "Jeffrey, that's because you have one night stands with them." I said and he looked down. "You're an amazing guy, Izzy. Any girl would be lucky to have you and I can't say I'm not jealous of girls." I said and a shy smile formed on his lips. "But you do have me." he said and winked. "Not like that. You're much more than just a good fuck. I told you, if I was looking for a relationship, you'd be off the market right now." I sassed and smiled.

He then looked at me deep in the eyes and smiled too. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him softly but the soft kiss soon turned into a makeout session.

There seems to be a pattern there... This happens a lot when I'm with Izzy.

But then the door opened and we quickly pulled away, frightened by the fact that someone had caught us.

Oh no.

"Oops, sorry. Wait a damn minute, oh my god!" Duff loudly said and both Izzy and I freaked out. "Honey, are you okay?" Kassidy yelled. "Don't tell her!" Izzy whisper-yelled. "Uhh, I thought I saw a mouse but it was nothing! Everything is fine!" he said and Izzy sighed in relief.

"What the fuck?" Duff whispered with a totally shocked expression on his face. "Uhh, you see, Juliette had something in her eye and I was trying to get it out?" Izzy tried to cover.

You see, as a couple- Well, not a couple, uhh, I mean a pair of totally single individuals, um anyway, yeah-... we're not really good at covering.

"With your tongue?" Duff asked and I sighed. "We can explain." I said. "I'm all ears!" Duff impatiently said.

"Are you two finally dating?" he smirked. "Not really." Izzy said. "What you just flirt and kiss without dating?" "And fuck." Izzy said and I smacked his shoulder. "You could have avoided saying that, y'know." I said and he rolled his eyes. "Why take the credit away from me, I'm banging a totally hot chick." he said and winked. "But you aren't dating?"

Sadly.

"Oh my god, you are fuck buddies!" he said in disbelief . "Friends with benefits!" I corrected him. "Nobody else knows and we'd like to keep it that way. If you tell anyone you're a dead man McKagan!" Izzy said and he put his arm around my waist, holding me close. "Except for Erin, Erin knows too." I added.

"A lot of things make so much more sense now!" he said. "How long has this been going on?" he asked. "Since that one party we had like almost two months ago." Izzy replied. "Are you sure you two are not dating?" Duff asked. "Pretty positive." Izzy said with an almost dissapointed look on his face.

"Is that how this even started?" "Yeah, pretty much, we fucked at the party and the next day Juliette came and begged for more!" Izzy dramatically said and my mouth hang open. "I beg your pardon? You were waiting shirtless out of my door!" I said and he smiled. "Hmm, I don't recall that happening." he teased and I rolled my eyes.

You little bitch!

"And when I say begged, I mean it." he continued, making me more annoyed. "No, I didn't!" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"I don't know, Juliette. Izzy's story sounds more believable..." Duff joined the teasing. "Shut up, both of you! Izzy and I both wanted more and the moment I opened my door to go find him, I saw him standing there! Shirtless!"

"She's trying to hide how desperate she was. Isn't it cute?" Izzy said and kissed my cheek. "I hate you. Both of you!" I said and they laughed. "Bet she got on her knees too." Duff said. "She totally did. Her exact words were 'I'm so wet for you!'. True story." Izzy said as they kept on teasing me. "Assholes." I said and they both laughed. "Uh, before we go... You might wanna clean your face bud. You have some lips on your lipstick." Duff said and Izzy turned around to look in the mirror, his eyes widening at the sight. I helped him wipe it off and then reapplied some lipstick on my self so we could get out.

Pretty lucky this happened in our bathroom.

"Where were you three?" "Oh, you know... Around." Duff said as we sat down. Izzy and I made eye contact and he flashed me a small smile.

I walked over at Slash, who was, of course, talking with Max and whispered "Izzy's no
