Falling Down(149)
"That's for sure. I'm a bit sad I haven't gotten to see much of you today, daddy."
"That's alright, baby girl. We'll do this again in a couple weeks before you go on your tour."
"Jesse, if it's okay, why don't we have everyone over at our place?"
He smiles. "You know they're always welcome in our home."
I nod. "Good. I was thinking of inviting Joey."
Trace groans and I laugh.
"Sorry Trace, but maybe he'll bring a date and be distracted. For that matter, you should bring a date and be distracted then he'll leave you alone. The Russo manners won't allow for him to interrupt you on a date."
"That's right," my dad says with pride.
"Mama, you've outdone yourself. This is so good," I moan. Jesse runs his hand up my inner thigh, his index finger rubbing against the seam of my jean shorts. I turn to look at him, eyebrow raised.
He leans in close and whispers, "Your moan was so sexy I'm getting hard. Add your sexy ass wiggling on my lap…"
"So, you're getting me all hot because you are? That's not very nice seeing as there's no relief in sight," I pout.
"Mile high club," he grins and goes back to eating.
As Jace would say, hell yeah.

We take Falling Down's private jet to Las Vegas and mid-flight I get to thinking.
"Who did you have to pay off to get us this gig at the Hard Rock?" I ask Cage.
He lifts a brow. "I'm insulted."
"Uh-huh. Spill."
"I didn't have to pay anyone. The owner's a friend. If you remember," he tells me, then looks at Jesse and the other guys in Falling Down, "I got you a gig there too before you went on your first tour."
"I remember," Xander tells us. "The place was packed and we were nobodies. It was f*cking awesome."
"Oh boy," Sera says, looking at me.
"What?" Xander asks.
She sighs. "Lucy's already turning green."
"I'm nervous. But no worries considering we've never performed a live show together before, it's all good."
"Sarcasm is your best friend," Xander says as he sits down next to me where I'm sitting on Jesse's lap and throws an arm around my shoulder. "You've got nothing to worry about. You're going to kick ass and take names. And if you're nervous about this show, just think about the venues you'll be playing at when you open for us."
I narrow my eyes at him. "Gee, thanks for that."
He pats my shoulder and winks. "No problem."
"I think it'll be easier in the larger venues. With the lights you can't see too far out from the stage, right?"
Jesse chuckles. "Yeah, that's true, but you can hear them and there's no doubt about the number of people there."
"Can none of you placate me with bullshit today?"
"Baby doll?" Ethan asks.
"Hmm?"
"You got this shit. Relax. Enjoy it. And if you have trouble sleeping tonight, just f*ck the hell out of Jesse. I'm sure he's got no problem with that."
I laugh. "I'm sure not."
Jesse wiggles his eyebrows.
"He's got amazing stamina and recovery time."
"Fuck you," Sera bitches. "I f*cking knew it. He's all sexy and beautiful, his voice gets women's panties wet, and he f*cks like a sex god. No wonder I can't find the right guy. It's all being packed into one man. Spread that shit around a little bit. Hell, I'll give up the panty-moistening voice and even a little of the pretty."
I bite my lip. "I'm sorry?"
"You f*cking should be." She crosses her arms. "What's his recovery time?"
