Greetings everyone,
Not much to say today. I've gotten some great mail but not much of it but that's ok! : ) Thanks to everyone who's written.
I guess I should explain why I chose this title now. It is part of a line from 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' which is the first thing that Jamie and Justin ever performed together. That's the major connection but it also has significance for all the characters with their dreams about careers, marriage, family and the future.
As usual: This story is purely fiction and is not intended to imply anything about the true sexuality of 'N Sync or anyone associated with their organization. It is meant for those over the age of 18 only and those who wish to read stories with sexual content.
The Dreams That You Dared To Dream - Chapter Three
Jamie surfaced as the engine died, wiping salt water from his eyes. He couldn't see much with the gentle swells. "Justin!" he called. "Justin!!" he yelled louder. All that answered him was the sound of the surf on the beach.
Jamie spotted the jet ski bobbing in the surf a little ways from him. He started swimming towards it and ran into the log scraping his knuckles on the waterlogged bark. 'So that's what we hit,' he thought to himself. He held onto the log resting for a second.
"Justin, where are you? Please answer me!" he called but received no answer. He crawled over the log and pushed off of it swimming quickly to the jet ski. It was still on it's side so he tipped it back upright. Jamie pulled himself up onto the seat and looked around. His heart stopped and he let out a sob finally seeing Justin floating nearby face up. His eyes blinked rapidly as he rubbed his eyes with one hand and coughed up sea water.
"Justin!" he screamed. Without thinking he dived off the jet ski and went to Justin. Jamie reached him quickly and pulled him into his arms.
At the touch, Justin shook his head as if clearing it of cobwebs and looked at Jamie. "Jamie, are we dead?"
Jamie cried with relief. "No, we're still alive."
"Oh good, I didn't want to ruin the vacation, " he said with a wide smile.
Jamie pushed Justin away from him. "You goober. I was scared to death."
Justin smiled. "Sorry, I heard you call me, but I was a little stunned. I hit the water pretty hard."
"Are you ok?"
Justin moved around in the water trying to see if anything hurt. "I'm fine, but my ego is a little bruised," he laughed.
They looked up as the other jet ski came up to them with Chris and Dani on it. "Hey, you guys ok? Josh said you were right behind them. We got worried when you didn't show up."
"We're fine, Chris, just took a little spill, that's all," Justin said as he climbed onto the seat of the jet ski. He reached down and helped Jamie up next to him.
"Wait, we should do something about the log we ran into," Jamie called. Between the four of them and the two sleds they managed to drag the log onto the beach.
When they met up with the others they checked out Justin for any problems before letting the incident go. For the next couple of hours they had fun taking turns speeding back and forth in the waves. Lance eventually joined them with some inner tubes he found and they used the jet skis to pull them around.
Eventually everyone started drifting off to their own cabanas. Jamie and Justin returned the skis to the shed before heading back to take a shower. They took their time and lathered each other up lovingly, teasing each other sensuously but not letting the passion get out of hand.
Jamie was panting as Justin's hands caressed every part of his body he could reach. "Justin... let's stop... save it... after dinner..."
Justin nodded with a smile. "Ya, I don't suppose we want to be late."
They arrived just in time for cocktails, Jamie had his guitar strapped to his shoulder.
"Oh! Please play for us, Jamie," Chris begged. "Dani, wait 'til you hear him play. He's a genius."
Everyone gave their words of encouragement while Jamie sat and got comfortable. Justin came back with Scotch on the rocks for him and sat nearby. After quickly tuning the strings, he ran through some warm-up exercises. Everyone sat back and listened to his fingers fly over the frets.
"Wow, that was great, what was it?" asked Kelly.
"It was Bach," Justin answered proudly. Jamie smiled at him as they kissed.
"Ok, any requests?"
"Anything that moves you," suggested Lance.
Jamie nodded, thought for a second and started the song. He sang the beginning of the intro to Dani and Kelly, almost conspiratorially, strumming the chords as he went.
"There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, 'Seek and ye shall find.'
So I'm gonna seek a certain lad I've had... in mind."
He turned to Lance, the full club performance on, as he spell bound everyone in the room, including Nino at the kitchen counter.
"Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret"
He now turned his attention to Justin with a loving twinkle in his eye.
"I'd like to add his initials to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this... lost... lamb..."
He set up a soft insistent accompaniment at the main verse to the song, picking up a little speed as he sang to Justin alone.
"There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he... turns out to be
Someone who'll watch... over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could... always be good
To one who'll watch over me.
Although he may not... be the man...
Some girls think of... as handsome...
To my heart... he carries the key.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead... Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me....
Someone to watch over me."
They all applauded in appreciation. Dani and Kelly had tears in their eyes while Chris and Joey whistled. JC and Lance held hands and snuggled together as Justin leaned over and kissed Jamie on the cheek.
"Thanks, sweet pea. That was wonderful."
"I just love that song. It's from that movie with Kevin Costner," Kelly said.
"And don't forget Whitney too," added Joey.
Jamie made a face which Chris noticed. "What? You dissing Whitney?"
Jamie smiled and shook his head. "Oh, no. I can admire her ambition and she does have a nice voice. But I'd much rather listen to someone else sing. Why does she insist that she has to scream in the middle of every song, it gets pretty painful. And it's just so.... un-artistic."
Lance laughed. "I think we're gonna be alone on this one, Jamie. I've tried for so long."
"So who would you suggest would sing his song better?" challenged Joey.
"Oh... Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, and of course Ella."
"But they sing the old songs.." Dani began.
"How old do you think this song is?" Jamie asked with a twinkle. "JC, you're the resident Jazz lover here besides me."
JC thought for a minute. "I'm not sure. I know it's old maybe 40 years?"
"Not bad, but it's older. It's almost 75 years old." The group goggled at him. "Not bad for such an old clunker, isn't it?"
"Who wrote it?" Lance asked.
"George and Ira Gershwin. You see that name on something and you know it's good."
Jamie played some more as they guys say with him. He included some of their own tunes mixed with folk songs and campfire songs.
Dinner and dessert were a repeat of the night before. Everyone stayed for some rummy, breaking apart into two groups. They all enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, forgetting who they were and just concentrating on being friends. As they broke up for the evening they made plans for the next day.
"Hey, let's have the party on the beach where we were today," Joey suggested.
"That's a great idea," Chris agreed. "See you guys tomorrow." Chris and Dani waved as they left.
"Ok, is everything all set?" JC asked.
"What are you guys up to?" Lance looked at them suspiciously.
"Oh, just a little joke on Chris, that's all," Joey said innocently. He quickly outlined the plan he'd devised assigning everyone a task as they giggled at him. He handed Jamie the key chain. "Here, you take this for later." Jamie nodded.
"This sounds great. We'll have everything ready," Justin said as he took Jamie's hand. "Have a good night everyone." They waved as they left.
Once back in the cabana, Justin lit several candles and placed them around the bedroom. "Now, where were we?"
Jamie went to him and they kissed. "I think we were right here."
They slowly took off each other's clothes as they stared into their eyes. When finally naked, they met in a deep kiss, their passion mounting. Their tongues darted into each other's mouths tasting and teasing. They parted and glanced out the window to see the full moon, it's light shining on them through the glass.
Jamie pulled Justin to the bed and pushed him down onto it. Smiling at him he lifted his right leg and softly kissed and licked the flame tattoo near his ankle.
Justin smiled. "Mmmm, that feels so sexy," he growled as Jamie made his way up his leg to his knee. Using his tongue he licked around his kneecap and down around to the back. Justin shivered and started giggling. "Oh, that tickles, oh..." He cut off as Jamie started licking up his inner thighs going back and forth between the two.
Avoiding his erection Jamie licked up the right side of Justin's hip to his stomach. Matting down Justin's trail he made his way up. Kissing and licking Justin's navel, he let Justin's hard cock pulse against his chest and throat.
Jamie looked up to see Justin staring at the ceiling his mouth open. He kissed and licked up Justin's abs with a chuckle until he got to the center of his chest and stopped. Justin lifted his head and looked down at him a glazed expression on his face. Without breaking eye contact Jamie slid over to one pec and kissed around the nipple bringing a soft moan from Justin. Jamie's tongue swirled around the hard peak before he wrapped his lips around it and started sucking.
"Oh ya, sweet pea," Justin moaned.
Jamie continued sucking and bit gently with his teeth causing Justin to buck up against him with a loud groan. Smiling at his love who was now whimpering softly he went and repeated everything to the other nipple knowing that it would bring Justin very close to the edge. Just in time he caught Justin's hand snaking down to stroke his throbbing erection. Jamie grabbed his wrist and held it firmly while his mouth caused Justin to tremble and moan more loudly. He felt himself get harder, the pleasure he was bringing Justin exciting himself as well.
Jamie sat up beside his panting lover. Justin's hard cock was oozing and throbbing with the beat of his heart. He lay on top of him and pressed their lips together. Justin sucked Jamie's tongue out of his mouth and into his as he moved against Jamie, the friction increasing their pleasure. Justin grabbed Jamie around the back and rolled so he was on top.
Breaking the kiss he sat up. "I want you," he said with a sexy growl. "Now!" He reached over to the night stand and grabbed the lube from where he put it earlier and rubbed it onto Jamie making him moan out loud. He positioned himself over Jamie and sat on his hard on. There was a little pressure at first but with a grimace Jamie slipped inside and Justin slowly sat all the way down with a contented sigh.
"Oh, baby, you feel so good in me," Justin panted.
He moved so that his feet were on either side of Jamie's shoulders and he supported himself with his hands as he slowly rocked making Jamie rub back and forth inside him. They both groaned in unison. Jamie felt the pressure slowly growing inside him and he fought to keep it under control. He looked up at Justin to see his head thrown back, his mouth moving at the pleasure he was feeling. Jamie went to grab Justin and stroke him but saw that he was steely hard with precum running out the tip. He left him alone knowing any extra stimulation would make Justin blow.
Jamie had an idea and grabbed Justin's thighs and sat up. Justin smiled at him and wrapped his arms around Jamie's shoulders to hold them together and upright. As Jamie put his hands on Justin's waist, Justin locked his legs around Jamie and they rocked forward and back a little more forcefully causing Justin to cry out.
Jamie could feel Justin's erection riding along his stomach, throbbing wildly between them. The throbbing caused Justin's ass muscles to tighten around Jamie's cock bringing him even closer as he flexed his hips to get more friction. Justin shivered as Jamie poked his prostate repeatedly. The pleasure was growing and they both knew that the other was close.
Jamie turned his head and found that because of their height difference and their position his mouth was even with Justin's nipples. He got a sly grin as he sucked one into his mouth and worked on it roughly giving Justin just a hint of pain through the pleasure.
That was all the extra stimulation Justin needed. "Ahhhh, Jamie!" he cried as he started shooting between them. The contractions shook Justin's body and brought Jamie over as well as he came deep inside Justin moaning with each shot.
Justin looked down into Jamie's sweat soaked face and kissed him tenderly. "Every time, I love you more and more," he said simply bringing tears to Jamie's eyes.
They moved and Justin reluctantly let Jamie slip from him as they lay together, letting their bodies recover.
Jamie looked deep into Justin's eyes. "You are the most beautiful man and I love you completely."
Justin smiled and they kissed, softly and gently. When their breathing returned to normal they got up to take a quick shower and got back into bed. Justin held Jamie tightly against him, Jamie resting his head on Justin's shoulder.
Justin kissed his forehead and quietly sang.
"You'll never know what you've done for me
What your faith in me has done for my soul
You'll never know the gift you've given me
I'll carry it with me
Through the days ahead I'll think of days before
You made me hope for something better
And made me reach for somethin' more
You taught me to run
You taught me to fly
Helped me to free the me inside
Helped me hear the music of my heart
Helped me hear the music of my heart
You opened my eyes
You opened the door
To somethin' I've never known before
And your love...
Is the music of my heart."
"That's a really beautiful song," Jamie said sleepily. "I really like it when you sing to me and hold me." He leaned up and kissed Justin one more time before pressing his face against his neck and falling fast asleep. Justin smiled through a yawn and fell asleep too wondering where the moonlight had gone.
It was a twilight world, thunder and lightening crashing around him. 'Well this is different,' he thought. He walked around the featureless landscape lit by flashes of lightening, deafened by the booming of thunder. In one flash he thought he caught a glimpse of movement in the distance. Intrigued, he headed for it.
"Jamie," a ghostly voice whispered between the thunderclaps. Jamie looked around and saw nothing but continued to where he thought he could see something. 'I should be scared shitless,' he thought to himself. He reached what he could only describe as a wall. There was nothing there but instinctively he knew that it was a barrier and in the flashes of light he saw a door.
Large cold raindrops began to fall, soaking him, as he stood before the door not moving. Jamie knew it was just a door but for some reason he was still frightened. Soon he was wet and shivering as the temperature dropped.
"Jamie," the voice called again this time definitely from behind him.
Quickly reaching a decision he grabbed the doorknob and entered a room letting the door shut behind him. With a gasp he saw he was -the- dorm room. Jamie quickly turned and tried leave finding the door locked.
"You came back." The words froze Jamie completely as Rocky spoke the words exactly as he had that day. Looking around he saw a blurry image of Rocky sitting on the bed.
"I'm sorry I slapped you," Rocky apologized holding his arms out to Jamie.
"No, you're not real," he gasped, backing away.
"Aw baby, come here and give me a hug," Rocky said with a smile.
The look in his eyes scared Jamie more than anything, a feral, animalistic leer. Jamie ran to the door and started frantically pulling on the doorknob.
"Come on, Jamie let's make up."
The tone of Rocky's voice dripped with menace and Jamie screamed. Just as he felt the knob turn in his hands he felt a hand on his back. "Jamie!" a voice said loudly.
"No!!!" Jamie screamed in panic as the door opened and he ran until he collapsed.
A very loud clap of thunder, that shook the cabana, woke Justin and he found Jamie struggling beside him. He was rocking on his side and pushing against Justin's chest with his hands. A storm outside raged, lighting the room with brilliant flashes.
"Jamie," he said quietly. Jamie continued to moan in his sleep. Justin tried to shake his shoulder but Jamie threw his hand off.
"Jamie," he tried again as a heavy rain began to fall outside.
Jamie got still for a second before let out a heart rending wail. "No, you're not real," he shouted in his sleep as he sat up suddenly. Justin was now worried. This had been the worst nightmare he'd witnessed yet.
With loving care he put his hand on Jamie's back. "Jamie!" he said a little more loudly.
Jamie's reaction was instantaneous and terrifying. "No!!!" he screamed as he bolted off the bed and ran out the door and into the storm.
"Shit!" Justin exclaimed as he ran out after him. It was hard to see in the dark with the rain but the wet sand showed Jamie's footprints perfectly. Justin slowed down a bit so he wouldn't lose them between lightening flashes.
After jogging for a few minutes he found Jamie curled up in a ball in the surf sobbing loudly. Justin went to him and gathered him in his arms.
"Justin?" he asked weakly.
"Yes, sweet pea. I'm here and everything's ok." Jamie clutched Justin fearfully as the thunder boomed around them. "We need to get inside, it's not safe out here in the storm." Justin carried him back inside and into the bathroom. They were both shivering so he started a hot shower. Jamie wouldn't let go of Justin as he whimpered into his chest.
Once under the hot spray, Justin comforted Jamie until he calmed enough to talk. He still trembled but his voice grew stronger as he relayed the details of his dream.
"Justin, this the first time that I've actually dreamed of that day. All my other nightmares have hinted at it but..."
"Shhhh, baby. It's ok." Justin comforted him and rubbed his cheeks, neck and shoulders. "Nobody knows how the mind works. It just does it's thing. Leslie did say that as you worked through things others would surface, so maybe that's it
"But why now of all times?"
"No one expects you to be over something like that easily. I'm here to make sure nothing happens to you."
Jamie lay his head on Justin's chest and clutched him tightly. "And when I'm with you I feel truly safe," he said with yawn.
"Well, let's get some sleep and talk some more in the morning, ok?"
Jamie nodded as they dried off. They tiredly went back to bed, the storm still raging outside.
Sunlight streaming in the window hit Justin's eyes, waking him. He felt next to him and found that he was alone. Getting up he grabbed a banana from the counter and spotted Jamie sitting in the oversized lounge chair on the deck staring at the waves.
He sat next to Jamie, waiting for him to speak, not wanting to disturb his thoughts. Jamie slumped against Justin resting against his shoulder.
"Morning, JuJu," he said simply after a few moments.
Justin became concerned with Jamie's haunted expression. "How are you feeling?"
"Like hell." Jamie looked up at Justin and smiled at him. "But I'm just so happy to be here with you that I don't care." Their hands met and their fingers intertwined. "I love you so much. Thanks for caring about me."
Justin leaned down and kissed him sweetly. "I love you too and I just want to see you happy."
Jamie nodded breaking Justin's gaze to stare at the waves, stronger now because of the storm that passed. "The waves have really kicked up."
"Hey, let's go body surfing, they look big enough," Justin suggested.
"Ok."
After putting on some waterproof sun block they dived into the water and swam out a little way. Holding hands they rode a large wave almost up onto shore. Over and over they played before dragging themselves up on the beach still half in the surf.
They lay in each others arms trading soft kisses loving the feel of the water washing over them. Before long they heard Lance's deep voice calling for them.
"Over here, Lance," Justin called without thinking.
"Some storm last night, huh?" Lance asked as he stepped onto the beach. "Oh, good Lord, you're naked!" he cried blushing a deep red and turning away from them.
They both giggled at his reaction. "Welcome to our clothing optional beach, Lance," Jamie laughed. "Feel free..."
"Um... well... that's... no... ah... thanks anyway," Lance sputtered clearly uncomfortable.
"Oh, come on, Scoop. It's not like you've never seen me naked before," Justin teased, causing Lance to blush deeper.
"And I haven't got anything you don't," Jamie added, enjoying the teasing they were doing to poor Lance.
Lance laughed and turned around still averting his gaze out over the water. "I just came by to see if you guys would like to join me and Josh for lunch."
Justin looked to Jamie who nodded with a smile. "Sure, noon right?"
"Yes, and the answer to your next question is 10:30. We'll see you in a bit." Lance took one quick look at them before taking his leave.
They cuddled some more before heading in to take a shower. Getting dressed, Justin paused for a second. "Hey, you go ahead to their cabana, I'm gonna stop off at the lodge and grab a bottle of wine and the boom box so we can test out the keychain."
Jamie smiled at him. "Ok, get something white, that's best for lunch." They kissed and headed in separate directions.
Jamie wandered the path parallel to the beach. He came across a patch of orchids that seemed to be growing wild in a slightly damp area and picked a couple thinking it would be a nice gift for Lance and JC. Soon the cabana came into view, it was very similar to his and Justin's. As he approached he heard voices from the deck. Getting closer he was torn between interrupting and eavesdropping. His indecision decided for him.
"Are you sure, Josh?" he heard Lance say. "You just shrug but I know you have feelings about this."
"James, let's just not talk about it, please?"
He heard Lance sigh. Jamie's heart pounded as a sadness and feeling of insecurity settled into the pit of his stomach. He didn't hear JC's next comment but Lance's raised voice drew his attention.
"And just when will there be a good time, Josh?"
"I'm not talking about this anymore. I'm gonna get the wine, I'll be back in a second."
"Wait, Josh."
Jamie heard a kiss then Lance's voice. "No matter what, I love you."
"I know, sweets."
As Jamie heard JC leave, he circled around to approach the deck from the beach side. He was even more confused by the end of the conversation.
"Hey Lance," he called hesitantly.
"Hey buddy, where's J?"
"He went to get some wine and the boom box for a dry run for tonight." Jamie tried to keep his voice light trying to not let Lance know he'd heard a part of his conversation with JC.
Lance laughed but Jamie noticed the smile didn't touch his eyes. "Josh just left to get some wine too."
Jamie decided to take the direct route. "Lance, is everything ok? You sound a little funny."
Lance didn't make eye contact with him and looked down at the deck. "Just fine."
"That's not true."
Lance looked up at Jamie with a sad expression. "It's really nothing you need to worry about. Thanks for asking though, I appreciate it."
"Well, I may not have my own head screwed on right but if you need someone to talk to I'd be happy to listen."
Lance's smile was genuine this time. "Thanks, Jamie. I'm sure I'll take you up on that. You know, you're turning out to be a really good friend." He pulled Jamie into a warm hug. "Thanks."
They separated just as JC and Justin came around the corner laughing together. Jamie looked at Lance to see a slightly pained expression on his face. He squeezed his shoulder in support and Lance nodded to him.
"Look who I found," JC called. "Seems we great minds think alike."
Lance made omelets and brought out fresh fruit, the wine and some cheese. They sat in the sand on blankets having a beach picnic taking a long leisurely lunch, chatting aimlessly. Justin hooked up a microphone to the boom box and they amplified the key chain. It worked perfectly.
"Everybody know what their doing?" Joey asked.
He saw everybody nod with broad smiles on their faces. Chris and Dani had left after dinner carrying large baskets filled with mixers and glasses. Everyone else had raced to get changed and came back quickly.
"Let's go over it one more time," Lance suggested.
"Ok," Joey began. "Kelly, you'll get there from the beach side carrying some chairs from our cabana. It's your job to make sure that Chris stays on the beach, and if they ask, we're all still getting ready and I went to the lodge to carry the ice."
Kelly nodded. "Got it!"
"Jamie and Lance, you are the sound guys. One to hold the boom box, the other to work the mike and keychain. When we get in position you'll start the Raptor noises softly then make them louder as we get closer to Chris."
"Check," they replied together giving Joey a salute.
"Smart asses," Joey chuckled. "Curly, JC and I will carry the last two tubs and leave them on the path. When we hear the first noise from the box we'll start shaking the bushes and get closer to Chris as we go."
"Alright, let's go, this is gonna be great!" JC shouted as he grabbed the tub of alcohol. Joey and Justin each grabbed a side of the ice tub while Jamie grabbed some munchies from the kitchen. Within minutes they were in place and waited to hear Kelly's voice from the beach.
"Chris, could you help me set up the chairs?"
"Sure, hold on."
They watched as Chris brought more chairs from the deck and started helping Kelly set them all up. Jamie took the cue from Joey and pressed the button on the key chain. As the screech of the dinosaur echoed out over the beach a bush shook near the cabana.
"Hey, did you hear that?" Chris asked.
"Huh?" Kelly said putting a chair down.
Chris shook his head and picked up another chair. Lance upped the volume a little and Jamie hit the button again. A different bush shook a little closer to Chris, who saw it that time.
"Kelly, you can't tell me that you didn't hear that and that bush was shaking."
Kelly pretended to be having trouble with the chair in her hands and unfolded it with a satisfied "There!" She put the chair down and turned to Chris. "What's your problem?"
Dani came out with some camping lanterns and handed them to Chris. "Here, set these up so we have some light." Chris nodded absently as he looked toward the bushes.
Kelly went with Dani back into the cabana. Chris put a lit lantern down and stepped closer to the bushes, peering to see if he could see anything. Lance turned the volume full up and Jamie pushed the button. The loud screech was accompanied by a violent shaking of the bush right in front of Chris who screamed in terror and took a step back. Jamie hit the T-Rex roar as Joey, Justin and JC jumped out at Chris to finish the blow. Poor Chris jumped a foot in the air, his eyes rolled up and he fainted dead away on the sand.
Dani and Kelly giggled from the side as the 'attackers' howled with laughter. Joey collapsed holding his stomach. Chris came to a moment later glaring at everyone.
"You just wait, you guys. Payback is a bitch!"
"Aw, Chris, you gotta admit that it was pretty funny," Lance snickered.
"Ya," JC wheezed. "That was the best joke of all time."
Chris stood with his hands on his hips staring at the others. "And I thought you all were my friends."
"Oh Poppa, if we didn't care we'd just ignore you," Jamie said hugging Chris' shoulder.
"Sure, you always scare the piss out of people you love, right?" Chris asked with a laugh. "You guys are too much. It -was- great, but you better watch your backs!" he warned with a smile.
They settled down for some serious partying. The drinks flowed freely and they were talking and dancing to music from the boom box. At one point Chris got everyone to Limbo which was hysterical the more buzzed they got. The evening wore on and everyone was feeling pretty good.
"Hey, let's play Truth or Dare," JC suggested. "We haven't done that since the tour last summer."
"Ok, tour rules?" Justin asked. JC nodded.
"What's tour rules," Jamie asked.
"We put everyone's name in a hat and you draw for the person you Truth or Dare. Then that person can't get picked the next round, it saves having the same two people from picking each other the whole time."
"That's an interesting rule," Kelly commented.
"We had to make it," Chris replied. "Last summer Joey and Jordan Knight almost got into a fight because neither would back down."
"Hey, he kept picking on me."
"Whatever," Chris sighed. "Anyway this way it's all chance and you can't get picked twice in a row. The only other thing is no dares that are physically dangerous and you can't use the same truth/dare more than 2 times."
They set up the game and Lance drew a name. "Ok, Josh starts."
JC picked a name and read it. "Ok, Justin, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
JC thought for a second. "Tell something about Jamie that nobody knows."
Justin looked at Jamie then whispered something to him. Jamie nodded back. "He had to come out to his family when he was caught 'playing post office' behind his garage when he was 15."
They all laughed as Justin picked a name. "Dani, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Impersonate Chris' moaning when you're together."
Dani giggled and moaned for them as Chris blushed.
"I can tell that was pretty close by the color of Chris' face," Joey laughed as Dani picked a name.
"Ok, Chris, truth or dare."
The game continued as they had a great time trying to embarrass each other as they drank. Eventually the tasks and confessions started to become even more personal.
Joey asked Justin who chose dare.
"We're gonna blindfold you and then each kiss you. You have to figure out which one is Jamie."
Justin laughed and sat in the sand as Dani tied a napkin around his head. "Ok, but no tongue," he warned.
One by one they kissed Justin. As Jamie went to take his turn Chris held him back and sent Lance for a second time. Jamie held a giggle in with a hand.
"Time to guess."
Justin took the blindfold off and pondered the kisses seemingly confused and little distraught at making a decision.
"JuJu, you don't know which kiss was mine?" Jamie played along in mock hurt.
Justin stood with a sly grin. "Y'all think you're so smart and clever. Well not one of those kisses was from Jamie." Justin pulled Jamie to him with a hand on the small of his back and locked their mouths together, kissing him intensely. He let go of Jamie who staggered a step back before sitting down heavily in the sand, dazed.
"That's what his kiss does to me and none of y'all came close to that," he laughed.
Joey patted Justin on the back. "Never can pull one over you, can we?"
"Nope!"
Justin pulled a name. "Kelly, truth or dare."
"Truth."
"Let's get a little spicy. How many orgasms have you had since we've been on the island?"
Kelly blushed while Jamie looked at Justin in shock. Joey grinned before belting out "Group truth!" The guys of NSync all nodded their heads.
"What's a group truth?" Jamie and Dani asked at almost the same time.
"That's another tour rule," Lance said. "If a truth is particularly good then someone can call group truth and everyone has to answer it."
"Ok," Kelly said blushing deeply. "Two." Joey agreed with her, "Same here."
Jamie and Justin looked at each other. "Three," they replied together.
"Two also," admitted Dani. "Three!" Chris proclaimed proudly kissing Dani on the cheek.
JC became shy. "Um, four," he stuttered out as they whistled at him.
Lance blushed deeply looking at his hands. "Laaannncce," Chris called.
"Oh, ok! Five!" Everyone catcalled as JC kissed him.
JC smiled at them. "What can I say, I can't keep my hands off him."
Kelly got Chris who picked truth.
"I think this would be a good group one. How old were you when you had your first sexual contact with another person and who was it? And I mean something more than just touching."
"Group it is," Chris agreed. "I was 14 and it was Colleen Ryan a girl from school." They went around the circle not hearing any surprises until they got to Justin, Lance and JC.
"I was 17 and it was Tony," JC admitted.
Justin gasped. "You mean -that- Tony?" JC nodded. "Wow, I never thought he was..."
"He's not, really. We were just experimenting and we only did it once."
Justin blushed at his admission. "Um, I don't want to sound like a retard or anything." They all assured him not. "19 with Jamie."
"Your kidding, right?" Joey asked.
"Nope, completely serious so don't make fun of me."
Jamie kissed Justin. "Trust me, he's more than made up for it." Justin blushed and kissed Jamie back.
Lance was last. "I was 17 too, but you have to swear to secrecy about the rest. Until now nobody but me, JC and this person knows this. Well, maybe his cousin does, but I'm not sure."
Everyone agreed becoming intrigued. "It was Brian Littrell." Everyone sat in shocked silence. JC looked resigned.
"Y-y-y-you mean the Backstreet Boy's Brian?" Justin asked. Lance nodded.
"Holy crap!" Chris said. "What a bombshell that is."
"So Brian is...?" Joey asked.
Lance shook his head. "He said at the time he was bi. But he's been with his girlfriend LeighAnne for a long time now so I guess he's decided." Lance looked down sadly and JC put his arm around his shoulder.
The game continued as they got less inhibited. Joey had to streak back and forth across the beach, Justin did a body shot off of Jamie, Chris had to stimulate Dani's 'spot' which turned out to be the inside of her elbow and Lance had to wear a whip cream bathing suit. They drank through every truth and dare and were quickly become too drunk to keep the game going.
Finally they agreed to one more. Joey got JC who picked dare.
"Ok, you have to give whoever's name you pick a stripping lap dance."
JC groaned. "I can't do that," he slurred.
"Rules are rules," Justin hiccupped.
JC reached into the glass and pulled out a name. "I hope it's you babe," he said to Lance barely able to form the words.
His face grew grave. "It's Justin," he said solemnly then started giggling.
Chris and Joey brought over a bench and sat Justin down on the end. Joey found an R&B station that was playing some music with a driving rhythm.
JC started dancing shyly in front of Justin who just smiled up at him. As he took off his shirt he got more into the music as Joey and Chris played with some flashlights making it look like they were in some club. Sweat coated JC's chest as he took off his shorts and danced around in his boxers. He sat backwards on Justin's lap swiveling around making Justin laugh and the others look on in amusement.
Jamie and Lance exchanged a glance both becoming a little uncomfortable with how far this was going. JC shocked everyone when he stood back up and mooned Justin who squealed with laughter thinking it was hilariously funny. JC pressed his bare bottom against Justin's crotch rubbing it suggestively. Justin stopped laughing and looked at JC with a mixture of surprise and confusion.
JC stood up again and stripped completely his hardon displayed for all to see. Turning suddenly, he plopped down on Justin's lap. He ground into Justin while holding his shoulders. Justin sat in shock not moving while Chris and Joey looked on nervously, their flashlights forgotten. Jamie and Lance stood to protest when JC leaned down and planted his lips firmly on Justin's.
The world stopped for a second as everyone inhaled sharply. It started again with Lance's shout.
"Joshua Scott Chasez, what the hell do you think you're doing?!!"
JC's head snapped up with the sound of Lance's voice. He looked into Justin's eyes and saw the horror and disbelief in them. He collapsed on the sand next to Justin and curled into a ball whimpering 'what have I done?' over and over.
Justin turned to look at Jamie and saw the hurt in his eyes as tears stained his cheeks. He sat still in shock not able to speak, having trouble processing everything through the alcohol haze.
"Oh, Justin," he wailed, "how could you let that happen?" Jamie then ran off into the bushes and out of sight.
