Lily gave a small moan of appreciation and mumbled, “I love you,” before slipping back into sleep. I felt content and comforted with her in my arms. The peace she gave me soothed me. Before long, I found myself in that place between being conscious and asleep until sleep won, and I eventually passed out.
 
 Loud knocking woke me from my comfortable slumber and for a few seconds I tried to figure out where I was. The light in the room was like twilight, and I wasn’t sure if we were approaching day or night. Lily’s limbs were wrapped tightly around me like a baby monkey and I was already struggling with the mother of all hangovers.
 
 The knocking stopped, and I could hear Rick’s voice outside our bedroom door. Mya was trying to placate him by explaining that none of us were up yet. Suddenly, the door handle went down and Rick burst into our bedroom and strode over to the bed. Without thought, he sat down at the bottom of our bed.
 
 “Are y’all gonna lay there all day? What kinda place is this you’ve dragged me to? They don’t even do proper daylight here. It’s one in the fucking afternoon, and it’s as light as it’s going to get according to Dita.”
 
 Jack was standing in the doorway in a pair of black boxer briefs, his hands leaning on both sides of the doorframe.
 
 “Sorry guys, he wouldn’t listen when I said you were probably both still asleep.”
 
 Rick turned to look at Jack. “Jack Cunningham, you’re a fucking reporter. Since when do we rock stars trust anything the media tells us? Y’all make most shit up.”
 
 Lily snuggled closer. Her hand brushed then surrounded my morning wood. She gave it a small squeeze then released her hand as if to say, “Don’t forget I’m here as well.”
 
 “Right, out!” I bellowed. It was too early in the day to listen to Rick bitching or his and Jack’s banter. My head felt like I’d undergone a lobotomy without anesthesia, and all the interaction I needed at that point was with a bottle of water and a couple of Advil. Lily was obviously not affected from the amount she’d consumed, but she’d had more sleep than me.
 
 The mattress dipped as Rick pushed himself back up off the bed. He leaned over before he gripped my thigh and shoved my ass down into the bed. I was seriously getting tired of him throwing his weight around, and if he had continued, I was thinking he’d have his first knockout from a naked man. Then again, it was Rick, so maybe not.
 
 “Alfie Black, how the fuck can you possibly wake up less than deliriously happy when you’ve got one of the hottest girls in the world pressed up against you?”
 
 “Because there’s a big dick coming between my morning wood and her,” I barked, and Jack roared with laughter where he stood.
 
 “Maybe you should have ‘dick-tated’ a ‘do not disturb’ sign last night and stuck it on your door. Then any dick with half a brain would know you weren’t available,” Jack jabbed. He stood chuckling to himself at the door when Rick moved swiftly and grabbed him by the balls. Jack’s smile died on his face, and he stared wide-eyed at Rick. He swallowed hard and held his breath.
 
 “Don’t worry, Jack, this dick was just checking to see if yours was still attached to your balls because it might not be for long if I hear any more references to dick’s in conversation today, you got me?”
 
 I smirked and slid down the bed, the comforter covering my mouth so Rick couldn’t see my expression.
 
 “Rick. Go away. I’m trying to feel up my man, and right now his dick is being neglected just like you think we’re doing to you. Give us ten, and I’ll personally walk with you to the ski slope and help you get kitted out.”
 
 Rick stared wide-eyed at the comforter, but he couldn’t see Lily underneath.
 
 “Sorry baby, I forgot you were there for a moment. Fuck, Lily, are you naked under there?” Rick said suddenly subdued before he quickly moved the conversation on.
 
 “Right. Ten minutes or I’ll take that as my offer of a tripod is really what y’all want, and I’ll come back,” he smirked.
 
 He patted Jack’s chest, released his other hand from his junk and pushed him out of the way. Jack mouthed an ‘Ow’, and I couldn’t contain my laughter while I hid under the comforter
 
 “You’ve definitely peaked some interest there, dude. I’d make sure there was plenty of lube in that bedside drawer of yours,” I quipped at Jack.
 
 He shook his head with a horrified look on his face and muttered, “Perverted fucking maniac,” before reaching to close the bedroom door.
 
 Lily began to giggle under the covers and wriggled her way up the bed to face me.
 
 “You have no idea what it means to me that he’s here for this. Don’t you just love him?”
 
 “Well, to be honest, I like the guy, but if you’re thinking he’ll be getting any free love from me, you’ve got another thing coming, Lily Parnell.”
 
 Lily laughed and widened her eyes in surprise as she shoved me playfully, “Spoil sport, where’s your sense of adventure, rock star.”
 
 Grabbing her by the wrists I flipped her onto her back and pressed my erection in between her legs.
 
 “You want adventure, honey? I can show you everything from a rodeo to fellatio, take your pick.”
 
 Chapter 14 Instruction
 
 Fifteen minutes after Rick’s arrival and the quickest sex Lily and I had achieved to date, Lily braided her hair and stuffed it under a multi-colored ski hat leaving me to shower alone. By the time I walked into the living room, most of the group was sitting in their ski clothes ready to head to the lesson Mya had booked for the group.
