It was quickly decided Chris and Lance would share a bedroom since Chris had the largest room, fitting right into Chris� plan. Now both Lance and Chris would have some time every day to just be themselves. Lance would need the time to rejuvenate if he was to keep up the pretense of his appearance for an extended period.
Chris and Lance didn�t get any time alone until three days later. The people Chris had set up as Lance�s parents stayed in Orlando to make sure their �baby boy� was going to be all right and expected him to stay at the hotel with them during that time. Neither was thrilled at the delay, but they understood it was the price they had to pay to keep their secret. It wouldn�t do for the sweet, innocent Mississippi boy�s parents to leave their son alone in a strange situation too quickly.
The other three had decided to go out to a club and Lance had told them he wasn�t up to going since his parents had left earlier in the day and he was feeling down. Chris offered to stay and keep him company. After a brief discussion trying to get Lance to change his mind, the three J�s took off for a night of partying at the local underage club.
As soon as the car left the driveway, Lance approached Chris.
�I�ve missed you so much Christopher. I know we needed the time apart, but the time without you seemed lacking without you to share it.�
�We shouldn�t have stayed apart so long. I have so much to tell you, so much has happened, but first . . .� Chris trailed off and pulled Lance to him.
It may have been Chris who initiated the contact, but as soon as their bodies touched Lance took over. He grabbed a handful of Chris� hair and pulled their lips together. For half a minute they just enjoyed the feel of each other and then Lance made his move. His tongue darted out and licked at the seam of Chris� lips. Once it was accepted he plunged his tongue in and explored every inch of the mouth he had missed so much.
�Chris . . . I know we said it was over . . .�
�Lance, please . . . I need you . . . so bad� Lips were battling between words. Hands were pushing clothes out of their way.
�Baby, please. I want to see you. The real you.� Chris gasped and was rewarded with the sight of his eternal companion. The shy, geek boy was quickly replaced with a confident, sexy man whose body called out to him.
They knew they would never make it to their room. Luckily, they still had hours before the others would be back. Their remaining clothes were tossed around the room and skin met skin from knee to mouth. Hands roamed all over, relearning flesh they had been away from for too long. Chris trailed his lips down to Lance�s chest to tease at the nipples which seemed to be calling out to him. Lance let him suck and nibble for a couple of minutes before deciding he needed more.
Lance pulled Chris down to the floor and pulled Chris� arms above his head. �Don�t move your arms from there.� Lance growled. Chris looked at him for a brief second before hooking his hands under the couch which was just within his reach.
After making sure Chris was not going to move his hands, Lance set to work sucking his way down the chest before him. He relearned the contours and the hot spots, stopping to lick and nibble at the spots Chris responded to most. He remembered the curve of his neck and his navel as being hot spots, but had forgotten about the hollow of his hip and how nibbling him there made him moan.
Lance�s mouth worked its way over to nuzzle into Chris� scrotum where he set to sucking and inhaling a scent which was all Chris. They both could feel the magic in the air as their immortal hunger began to be fed. When Lance worked up to Chris� cock, the intense feelings increased again. Chris fought to keep control for just a little longer as Lance sucked him down to the root and then swallowed hard. Lance was fighting his own battle, as his hunger demanded a completion to the feeding. Although they both knew this wouldn�t be their last time together tonight, they both wanted it to last. From past experience they knew the first climax was always the best as their hungers were fed. The rest of the night would be for sexual pleasure only.
�It�s been too long since the hunger was fed by another vampire.� Chris said breathlessly. �I can�t hold on much longer.�
�Let go Chris. Feed.� Lance growled and then came in unison with Chris both feeling the power rushing through their bodies.
�Welcome back to my arms Lance.� Chris whispered once they both had recovered. �I�ve missed having you close.�
�I�ve missed being close to you. The last time the hunger was this satisfied was with you as well.�
�What are you saying Lance? Do you want to go back to being lovers?� Chris asked hoping the answer would be in the positive.
�I think it would be a good idea, at least for awhile. We are going to have to be careful around the others. It would be easier to feed off each other than try to get people back to our room every night.� Lance explained calmly.
�I know for a fact you only need to feed the hunger for sexual pleasure a couple of times a week. Your need for blood only needs to be taken care of once a month or so.� Chris smirked.
�Chris, we both know keeping up the pretense is going to drain us quicker. You are going to have to change people�s thoughts so we are not discovered and I am going to have to look the part of country bumpkin for quite a while to come. If we feed most nights we will be better able to handle the demands. If sleeping with me is such a problem though, I will look elsewhere.�
�You know it�s not a problem. I would have you in my bed for an eternity if I could. It was you who decided all those years ago we were better as friends. You said it was less of a hassle. I love you and always have. It is you still searching for the soul mate you will never find.�
�I still believe my soul mate is out there Chris. I also believe we can be of assistance to each other until he or she arrives. I do love you Christopher and I do want to be with you if you will have me.� Lance looked at Chris from under his lowered eyelashes until he saw all the fight go out of his face. Then Lance leaned forward to capture Chris� lips again.
* * * * *
Chris and Lance knew they couldn�t immediately show their affection for each other. They set to work a plan to make the others believe a deep friendship was forming between the two. It wasn�t long before no one would even concern themselves when Chris would sprawl across Lance�s lap or when Lance would fall asleep on Chris� shoulder. At the same time they were building the foundation for their close friendship in every one elses minds, they were also subtly trying to push the activities of the group to happen more at night. They could be out in sunlight, it was just they really didn�t like being out during the day. The sun was like a constant ache when it hit their skin and they had to wear sunglasses to protect their extra sensitive eyes.
The others never suspected Lance and Chris had another life filled with sexual excess and the occasional ingestion of blood. Both Lance and Chris were sure to cover up their activities so that no one would suspect. When they did have to drink blood, it was never enough to hurt the donor and both were adept at clouding their victim�s mind so nothing was ever remembered except an erotic make-out session leaving them tired and giddy. They tried to curtail their sexual escapades as well. They fed their hunger mainly with each other, but it also wasn�t unheard of for someone to be sneaking out of one of their rooms early in the morning. Once they started in Europe, they even started to bring one person back for the two of them to share. Male or female never mattered to either of them. The tended to look more for someone who would be adventurous in bed to feed their never ending hunger.
* * * * *
The one thing Lance and Chris never counted on when they first started with NSYNC was growing to love their band mates like brothers and be naturally very protective of them. Everyone may see JC as the father figure or Joey as the one that would soothe them when they were hurt, but it was actually Lance and Chris who made sure they were safe. It didn�t happen often, but sometimes there would be a threat none of the others found out about because Chris would sense the impending danger and distract them all until the danger had passed. Or Lance would suddenly have forgotten something so they all had to go back to the hotel for a minute thereby removing the others from the danger lying in-wait.
None of the others realized it was happening nor would they understand how it was possible. Lance and Chris never even talked about it when it happened. They just went on with the normal routine until the next time it happened. After six hundred years this was really the first time they had felt protective of any mortal. More then they looked after their brothers though, they looked out for each other.
It was Chris who took care of Lance when he collapsed before they left Lou Pearlman. It was Chris who came up with the heart problem story to cover up the fact that Lance had gotten some bad blood and was intensely sick because of it. It was also Chris who personally went out and got a victim so that Lance could replace the bad blood with some fresh, healthy blood. It was the one time that either went past just a little drink or hurt a donor. The man wasn�t permanently injured, when he woke up he just thought he had a very severe case of the flu not realizing he had been drained of half his blood.
Lance also looked out for Chris. It was Lance who stopped Chris from killing Lou when they realized how much Lou was stealing from them. He had calmed Chris down and forced him to change Lou�s memories so their cover was not blown. It was also Lance who stayed with Chris for two weeks straight to make sure he didn�t go off on Lou again. Lance was the one who sat down and figured out the best way to screw Lou over legally. It was then the others started to realize just how intelligent Lance could be.
* * * * *
Chris approached Lance during the �No Strings Attached� tour about starting to change his look towards normal. They mutually decided he was getting old enough in every one else�s eyes to start to look more mature and sexy. At first it didn�t seem like anyone was noticing the change, but then around the time they did the Super bowl halftime show they started to hear murmurs about how very hot Lance was starting to look. It was actually JC that first approached Lance about it personally.
�Lance man, I don�t know what you did all of a sudden, but . . . yeah, you are looking really good man.�
�Thank you Josh. It means a lot coming from you.� Lance fought to control his smirk all the while wondering what JC would do if he actually tried to charm JC. He was seriously considering the idea until Chris walked in, took one look at his face and dragged him away.
�We made a deal we don�t fuck the others, remember?� Chris hissed after he pulled Lance into his hotel room.
�But he just looks so damn fuckable.� Lance growled knowing Chris was right but still not wanting to give up the idea.
�Yes and so do Justin and Joey at times, but we agreed. It could screw up the group which we don�t want. I don�t know about you, but I am actually enjoying myself and don�t want this to end. So, keep it in your pants or find a groupie or fuck me.� The last was said as he ground his pelvis into Lance.
�I�ll fuck you all right.� Lance said softly. �Not now though. If I can�t have JC, then I am going to have you exactly how I want you. I�m going to make you scream over and over. So, I�ll see you later tonight. Don�t make any plans; I�ll be here at nine.� Lance left then to get everything he would need for the night.
Someone knocked on Chris� door at eight in the evening and handed him a package and left. He knew it had to be from Lance and quickly sat on the bed and opened it up. Inside was a pair of black silk boxer shorts, a blindfold and some body oil. Chris checked to make sure it wasn�t rose oil even though he knew Lance would never send him the oil which burned a vampire�s flesh. The oil was actually massage oil with the essence of vanilla reminding Chris of many nights in the past where they had spent all night finding ecstasy in each other�s arms. A note was also in the box telling him to take a shower and then rub the oil over all of his body. When he was done he was to put on the boxer shorts and the blindfold and wait for Lance to arrive.
Lance let himself into Chris� room a little after nine. He quietly grabbed hold of Chris and forced him to lie on his back on the bed. Lance pulled Chris� hands above his head and secured them with thick ropes made of braided silk. Chris would have to work hard to get out of them even with his vampire strength. He ran his fingertip down Chris� chest, dragging over his already-hardened cock before stepping away.
�Are you ready Christopher? Are you ready to be fucked hard?� Lance asked as he slowly undressed aware Chris could hear the clothes coming off even if he couldn�t see them. Christopher knew this game with Lance by now. If he answered Lance would punish him, if he didn�t answer Lance would punish him. Either way, he won.
While Chris laid on the bed contemplating what Lance had planned for the evening, Lance was taking things out of the bag he brought with him. He laid everything he would need out on the nightstand and then stood there staring at the man before him. The lights in the room were down low and reflected off of the oil on Chris� skin. He admired the color of his skin and the shape of his body. Some people had said Chris was pudgy, but they had never seen him like this. His arms were muscular as was his chest. Yes, he had a small extra layer of flesh around his middle, but not enough to be unattractive. If anything it softened his overall look so he didn�t look quite so sinful. Lance knew every inch of this body, he knew the taste and the feel. He knew what he was about to do would make Chris scream in the best possible way and he knew by the end of the night neither of them would feel the hunger for a little while.
Lance started by stroking across Chris� chest with something Chris soon figured to be a whip. Chris shivered at the realization and the anticipation. As if Lance realized Chris couldn�t wait much longer, he pulled back his arm and then let the whip crack down. A red welt appeared and Chris sucked in his breath. The pain he felt from the whip only heightened the desire rushing through his body. It was about ten minutes and thirty lashes later before Lance stopped. Chris� body was now red and welted on the chest, arms and legs. His cock was harder than it had been for months. Chris was panting at the effort it took to control the desire flowing through his blood.
Lance glanced at his work and then leaned down to lick each and every welt. The warmth and moisture of his breath felt erotic and the pain accompaning each lick made him arch off the bed vowing to hold on until Lance was finished. Lance realized how very close Chris was and backed off, just watching Chris again while he fought to control himself. Neither of them wanted this to end without reaching the ultimate pleasure possible.
Just when Chris felt like he was under control and could handle anything Lance had in store for him Lance pounced and proved him wrong. Lance quickly pulled his ankles down and tied them to the bed as well and then inserted a large butt plug into Chris with no preparation. Just as the pain started to ease for Chris Lance flipped a switch and the plug started to vibrate against Chris� prostate sending him deeper into a pleasure-filled haze. Just when he thought he was going to lose control the vibrating stopped and the curses began to flow from Chris� mouth.
�You son-of-a-bitch. Is it fucking impossible to just let me come?�
�No. It�s not impossible, just not in the plans yet.� Lance smirked. �Here is the way it is going to work. I�m going to give you the controller and you are going to press on the button whenever I am sucking you. If you stop, I�ll stop. If I stop sucking, you need to stop pushing the button. Do you understand? If you don�t play by the rules I�ll go find someone else to play with.� Chris nodded and waited for Lance to begin.
Lance quickly took Chris in his mouth and waited a second until he felt the vibrations going through Chris. He sucked hard for about a minute before abruptly stopping and watching Chris reluctantly let go of the button on the remote. They stared into each other�s eyes for a couple of minutes before Lance bent down to the task again. This time it was Chris stopping them right before he came. Again they stared at each other for a couple of minutes while Chris fought for control and they both absorbed the sexual energy in the air.
�I want it all Christopher.� Lance growled and Chris quickly agreed. The butt plug was pulled out and thrown across the room and Lance was quickly buried inside. Chris was unable to do anything but lie there absorbing Lance�s hard thrusts over and over until they both reached the pinnacle. Lance slashed his wrist and held it to Chris� mouth just as he bent down and sunk his teeth into Chris� neck. They both exploded as the blood rushed between them. It wasn�t often they shared this because of the energy and trust it required, but when they did the rest of the world ceased to exist and the universe seemed to explode in pleasure.
* * * * *
Chris and Lance didn�t see each other a lot while Lance was filming �On The Line�. He had continued his habit of investing in businesses only this time he did it above board. He still had partners, but now they were the silent ones and he was the one everyone saw. Lance took his businesses very seriously, so Chris was not surprised when Lance told him he would be spending so much time in Canada filming the movie. He made the effort to visit Lance while he filmed a couple of times and Lance was flying back to Orlando to record the new album. They would catch each other and feed their hunger wherever they could.
It was during the filming the other guys found out about their relationship or at least about them being lovers. All of the guys were in Canada working on a track they had been having troubles with. Chris had been watching Lance�s every move for about an hour, getting harder with every moment passing. Lance noticed about half an hour in Chris was getting aroused and started trying to provoke Chris. He knew the longer they extended the anticipation, the better the payoff would be.
The good thing about spending centuries with a person is you got to know what turned them on. Lance knew his eyes turned Chris on, especially when he peered at Chris through his eyelashes. He knew his lips and mouth could make Chris squirm so he stole one of Justin�s Tootsie Roll Pops and started to roll it around his mouth. Sucking on it and rolling it over his lips before licking the sweet stickiness off. Lance watched as Chris� pants got tighter and he started to squirm. He then pulled out the big guns and stood up, turning so that Chris had a prime view of his ass and then bent over to pick up the wrapper he had dropped. Chris� mouth dropped open and he was about to excuse himself when JC piped up and told them all to take a break and get some air. JC, Justin and Joey left fairly quickly talking about the track and how it could be improved. Chris waited until the door shut and then stalked to Lance. Lance barely had a chance to stand upright before Chris thrust him against the wall.
�You are a fucking tease.� Chris growled low. �You knew what you were doing to me in front of all of our friends and you didn�t give a shit.�
�You know you like it.� Lance smirked and said knowing it would just get Chris hotter. It wasn�t often Chris was the aggressor in their games, but when he was the sex was hard and fast and sent Lance to levels he rarely reached otherwise.
Chris was quick to pull Lance�s pants down and then pulled away to pull his own down as well. He had enough pre-cum on the tip of his penis he just thrust into Lance without any preparation. Lance moaned loudly at the pain but thrust back hard. Chris knew Lance enjoyed the pain mixed with pleasure so he quickly set a fast pace whispering how good Lance felt continuously. They were both right on the edge and starting to feed their intense hunger when the door behind them opened. They both realized at the same time they had company, but neither could stop the hunger from feeding and they rushed to completion despite the three men watching shocked. Both groaned loudly as they came and then tried to quickly restore their clothes to the original placement.
�What the fuck?� Joey asked angrily as the two men turned around already knowing it was their friends who had come in.
�How long has this been going on?� JC asked deceptively calm.
�We�ve been together for awhile. It doesn�t affect any of you . . .� Lance tried to explain calmly but was quickly interrupted by Joey.
�How the hell do you figure? Anyone could have walked in here right now. Just passing over the fact we are your best friends and you�ve never told us you . . . You never even told us either of you swung that way.�
�Joey.� Chris said with a quiet anger. �You are right anyone could have walked in, we messed up. But you have no right to expect us to tell you everything about us. We all have secrets, it doesn�t mean you mean any less to us. It means we have had so much of our lives stolen from us and we wanted to keep this to ourselves. And regarding our sexuality, you have never come out and told us what turns you on and yet you expect us to tell you because it might be different from your turn-ons? Bullshit. So what if we fuck each other? If we aren�t going after you it is none of your business.�
�This could tear up the band. You two are not this stupid. If it is just fucking as you say, why can�t you go somewhere else to get it?� Joey was furious and it showed.
�Because we are best friends. We know what each other needs and we love each other enough to give it. We don�t claim to be soul mates. But we do love each other and we respect each other. This will not destroy our friendship or the band. You may not believe me Joey, but I can guarantee you it will not affect anything if tomorrow we decided to stop being lovers.� Lance said calmly. �What could affect the group is if you cannot accept us as who and what we are. This is why we didn�t tell you. We didn�t want to risk your bad reaction. We love all three of you as much as we love each other and neither of us can handle having you hate us for who or what we are.� Although the three other men didn�t realize it, Lance was talking about more then their being lovers. They had discussed their other world being discovered and misunderstood before. Both were terrified someday they would have to be against the three men they considered family. Neither was sure what would happen then.
�Guys, I think we should go somewhere less public to discuss this.� Justin said quietly. �Obviously there are some issues here needing to be worked out and we don�t want someone walking in during the middle of it.� All of the men glanced at each other and then picked up their personal belongings and left the recording studio. Lance had rented a house of the outskirts of town during the filming and it was there they all headed now. The drive back was silent; everyone lost in their own thoughts and concerns.
Four hours later found the five men sprawled across the living room. Chris and Lance had explained how they had felt an instant connection to each other and during many nights spent talking about their hopes and dreams had felt the attraction grow between them until it couldn�t be denied. They never lied about any of it, they just didn�t explain those talks had happened almost six hundred and fifty years earlier and it had taken them both being vampires for them to take their friendship to a new level.
After some screaming and hurt feelings the five had come to a truce about the subject. Everyone involved admitted things could have been handled better, but they had to forgive and move on. The friendship between the five was far too important to let something like this break them apart.
�Hot girls with big boobs.� Joey said after several minutes of silence.
�What?� Four voices said confused.
�Chris said I hadn�t told him what turned me on. Well, now I am. Hot girls with big boobs.� The four stared for a split second and then broke into laughter.
�Like we hadn�t figure your preference for large breasts out by now?� Lance said when he had caught his breath.
�I�m just saying. Chris said I had never told you so now I am. I like girls, women, whatever you want to call them. Actually I like all shapes and sizes of women. I like how they look at things and how they take care of others. I�ve thought about guys before, but I�ve never been with another guy and I don�t think I would want to be.�
�I�m bi-sexual.� JC piped up. �I�ve been with both men and women and I don�t really have a preference. As long as they�re not Bobbie or someone like her I don�t really have anything I look for specifically.�
�Well, I�m bi-sexual.� Lance said. �I�ve had both men and women too. I do however lean more towards men cause I tend to like to be aggressive and too many women get turned off when I am.� Three men were looking incredulous with Lance�s confession and one was just smirking because he knew exactly how aggressive Lance could be and he really enjoyed it.
�Um, I guess this is where I tell you all I�m gay, right?� Justin piped up. If possible this created more of a shock wave to move through the room. �I�m guessing from your expressions you hadn�t guessed. I�ve known since I was thirteen, but I knew it could hurt us so I just kept it on the down low. My being gay is the main thing behind the whole waiting until marriage thing. I didn�t want to feel pressured to sleep with women so I just told every one who asked I was waiting. And before you ask, yes Brittany is a cover. She knows I�m gay and she is willing to say she dates me because it also helps her career to be part of the Pop Royalty Couple.�
�Okay. Well I guess my admitting I�m bi-sexual is no surprise.� Chris said after he absorbed Justin�s announcement, all the while trying desperately to not envision their youngest member underneath him. �I�ve also been with both men and women and although I tend to prefer women overall, I am not averse to sleeping with a sexy man. Especially one who likes to be aggressive.� Chris finished with a wink towards Lance who just smirked.
�So,� JC asked, �are we all good now?� All five men nodded and the subject was dropped so they could go in search of food.
* * * * *
They were well into the �Pop Odyssey� tour and every thing was going fairly well. Okay, Joey�s leg had gotten trapped in a pop-up platform and then he had to be admitted into the hospital because he had pneumonia. All of them were watching Joey closely now to make sure he didn�t overdo though. The tour was incredible. The stage bigger than anything they could have imagined. Okay, Chris was not happy about all the flying and heights. Lance rewarded him though after every show for overcoming his �phobia� so it made it worthwhile. They were getting close to the release of the new CD and although none of them would admit it, they were hoping to break their own record for sales in one day and one week.
They had to get through a live interview with Carson Daly on the Saturday before the release and it was getting on every one�s nerves. Chris and Lance had never trusted the MTV personality though they could not explain why to the other guys. How did you explain you just felt evil vibes with your vampire sense when your friends didn�t know you were a vampire? So they just said they didn�t trust him and over the years the others had come to agree with the assessment. They had to deal with him though because he was �The VJ� at the moment.
Two hours and a really hot afternoon in the sun later they were finished with the special which would air on MTV over and over. Carson was no more of an idiot then normal and they had met a lot of wonderful fans. The major negative for Chris and Lance was they had spent two hours out in full sunlight and both felt like they ached all over. They had a couple of hours before sound check and the concert so they went back to their hotel room and took a long, cold shower together which ended up with a long, hot sex session together in the bed before they took another shower and hurried off to the venue.
They were having a great concert in San Diego. Everything seemed to be going perfect and they were all totally hyped and then their peace was broken. Somehow a fan got past their security and onto the stage during �Bye, Bye, Bye�. She somehow bounced off of JC and latched onto Justin. It was maybe a half minute before security was able to get a hold of her and get her off of Justin. His only injury was a sore arm, but he was completely shaken by the experience. Chris and Lance were also shaken but more because they had let someone get to one of their friends. They knew it wasn�t rational, but they felt like it was their job to protect their band mates and both felt as if they had failed when the fan got onto the stage.
They were all rushed to the buses straight from the concert. Security wanted them out of San Diego as quick as possible after the incident on stage. They all piled on one bus after seeing the silent tears running down Justin�s face. They took turns taking quick showers and then all huddled together to comfort their youngest member. Somehow Justin ended up in Lance�s arms where he stayed all night. Justin didn�t know why, but he felt like he would be safe as long as Lance was by his side. The comfort of Lance�s arms flowed through him and he was quickly asleep knowing nothing could get to him for a little while.
* * * * *
It was a week later when Lance woke up sandwiched between Chris and Justin in a hotel room bed. Justin had come to him off and on seeking comfort in the past week, but this was the first time he had come in the middle of the night. When Lance lifted his head he was met by Chris� concerned eyes.
�He came in about half an hour ago in tears. He said he keeps dreaming about it and hasn�t slept more than a couple of hours a night. I guess it just got to be too much for him tonight. I said he could stay.� Chris explained knowing Lance would not protest Justin�s presence.
�I wish I could do something to help him. I feel helpless and I don�t like the feeling.� Lance whispered softly as he turned his head to gaze at the man behind him. �We should be able to protect him.�
�Lance, we are capable of doing a lot, but we cannot protect them from every danger out there. She was a fan who got through security. We�ve all had fans grab us before. Yes, it was scary for him, but we cannot devote our entire lives to protecting them. First off they would recognize something was off if we did and second it would seriously cut into the aggressive sex action.� Chris said trying to lighten the mood.
�Ssshhh. He may hear you.� Lance whispered.
�I think he is out now. He snuggled up to you and I could see him just relax and he went right to sleep. I think you�ve become his security blanket this week.�
�He has been hanging around everyone not just me.� Lance protested.
�Lance . . . never mind, I know I�m not going to win this one. Just remember we all want to protect him and make it better. You don�t have to do it all on your own.� When Lance started to protest, Chris put his fingers against his lips. �I�ve known you a long time, I can tell when you are starting to get deeply involved in something. I just don�t want you or Justin hurt. I know you wouldn�t purposefully hurt each other, but you need to remember who and what you are. I�m not going to say anymore, but please think about it.�
�You know I will Chris. I can�t help but feel protective of him though. I feel protective about all of them.�
�I know you want to protect them all, but it is different with Justin. You cannot deny you feel something different for Justin.�
�He�s the baby. Of course we all are extra protective of him. It�s natural.�
�Lance, it is more than . . . you really don�t see it do you? Joey and JC have seen it for months. I�ve seen it since the beginning.�
�I think you are imagining things Christopher.�
�Calling me Christopher will not get you out of this. It turns me on and you know it, but this is something you need to face. I know you are looking for your soul mate and all, but I think you need to be really careful here. He is just a kid and if you turn on your charm there is no way he can resist you.� Just then Justin shifted closer to Lance, effectively pressing his body against Lance�s from shoulder to knee.
�Chris. I will think about all you�ve said. I think you�re overreacting though.�
�I wish I was Lance. I don�t want to see you heartbroken over this and I�m afraid heartbroken is the way you are headed. He is just a kid and there is no way he would be able to handle our world.�
�Chris, can we please just go to sleep right now? I can�t think about this anymore tonight and we have interviews scheduled for early tomorrow.�
�Okay. But we will discuss this again Lance.�
�I have no doubt Christopher.�
