Don't wanna wait 'til you know me better
Let's just be glad for the time together
Life's such a treat and it's time you taste it
There ain't a reason on earth to waste it
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself
Lick it up, lick it up, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, ooh yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, come on, come on
Lick it up, lick it up
Don't need to wait for an invitation
You gotta live like you're on vacation
There's something sweet you can't buy with money - lick it up, lick it up
It's all you need, so believe me honey
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself
Lick it up, lick it up, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, ooh yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, come on, come on
Lick it up, lick it up
Come on - it's only right now Ooh yeah




It had been a long day, with the autograph signing in the morning, a house show in the afternoon, and then the trip across country. A three-hour flight, an hour layover in Chicago, another three-hour flight and a two-hour drive. And fans wondered why they weren't always the most pleasant people in the world. The only thing on his mind, as the clock crept toward 3 a.m. was sleep - and lots of it.

They crossed the lobby and plopped their bags down next to the counter. Adam had let Shannon drive from the airport - not a decision he would have made had he not been so tired. The two hour drive had shortened to an hour and a half, the young blonde holding true to the bumper sticker on the back of his own truck - "I don't drive fast - I fly low." For once, he was grateful for Shannon's reckless youth, and secret desire to be a NASCAR driver.

After checking in and making their way to their room, Adam had barely enough energy to remove his clothes and fall into the semi-comfortable hotel bed. Shannon bounced around the room, turning on the television and plopping down on the other side of the bed. Adam raised his head and opened one eye, staring at the young man next to him.

"Go to sleep, Shan," he said, his voice thick with exhaustion. Shannon shook his head, then said, "Can't, Ammy. I'm bored." Adam groaned, covering his head with the pillow as Shannon found the cartoon channel and squealed loudly before he found some boring old cartoon. Moving the pillow aside, Adam stared at him once again. "If you don't lay down and go to sleep, I'm going to see if you can live up to your high flying reputation," he growled. Shannon slid down so that he was laying on his pillow, looking Adam in the eye.

"Whatcha mean, Ammy?" he asked sweetly. Adam propped himself up on his elbow and said, "I'm going to throw you out the window, babe. Now, GO TO SLEEP!" His request was met by more giggles. He groaned loudly and fell back down, the pillow still over his head. "What's it going to take to get you to go to sleep?" his muffled voice asked.

Shannon smiled before sliding closer, his hands traveling under the blankets and caressing the soft skin of Adam's hip. An even louder groan escaped his lips and he turned. Not a wise move, considering the location of Shannon's hand, which slipped down to his groin and lightly brushed over Adam's cock. "Not now, Shan," he pleaded. "I'm so fucking tired. Just let me sleep and I promise you tomorrow, we'll do anything you want. Okay?"

Shannon pouted. "But Ammy!" he whined. "I can't sleep! I'm bored. I'm horny. C'mon, pleeeeeeeeease??" Adam reached down and gently removed Shannon's hand from its place between his legs and leaned down, kissing Shannon softly. Shannon relaxed, moaning behind the sweet kiss. When Adam pulled back, he looked into Shannon's eyes, then said, "Goodnight, Shan" before turning over and covering his head with the pillow once again.

Shannon flopped back on his pillow, pouting even more. He grabbed the remote control and ran through all the channels - twice - before he something caught his eye. There it was. The opening strains of the spooky, haunted music gave way to the most beautiful words to Shannon's ears. On the other side of the bed, Adam groaned again, pushing the pillow down over his ears. As he slipped from consciousness, he heard Shannon's sweet voice singing him the most warped lullaby ever.

When Adam awoke the next morning, Shannon was still sleeping. Adam smiled at him as he quietly got out of bed, not wanting to wake the sleeping cherub. Standing in the bathroom, waiting for the shower to heat up, Adam smiled to himself. He briefly wondered how many other people had fallen asleep to the theme song from Scooby Doo?

He stepped under the warm spray and allowed the water to relax his tired muscles. As he lathered up his hair, he found himself humming the tune his little lover had sung the night before. Through the spray of water, he heard a sound from the other room. Shannon was awake, and apparently he had found one of the music channels.

Adam stepped out and grabbed a towel, drying his hair before wrapping it around his slender hips. Remembering his promise to Shannon, he quickly ran the comb through his hair, brushed his teeth, then opened the bathroom door, eager to get back to bed. Standing in the doorframe, he was stopped by the breathtaking sight before him.

Shannon was propped up on the pillows in the center of the bed. his head was back, his hair cascading around him like angel wings. His eyes were squeezed shut, and his mouth was set in determination. One leg stretched out in front of him, the other bent at the knee, and one hand slowly stroking his hardened cock - this was the focal point on Adam's gaze.

The sight of Shannon's delicate hand, sliding up and down his massive erection was a thing of beauty. Adam's breath caught in his throat and he felt his mouth go dry and the scratching of terrycloth on his growing cock. Slowly, Shannon's eyes slipped open and a smile crept across his face. He raised his hand to his mouth and seductively licked his palm, then went back to stroking himself.

He raised his other hand and motioned to Adam to join him. His long legs carried him quickly to Shannon's side and he lay on the bed next to the smaller man, still watching with fascination as he brought himself closer to the brink of ecstasy. Suddenly, Shannon giggled and reached for the remote control. Cranking the volume, he went back to pleasuring himself while Adam watched.

Adam chuckled as he listened to the old song blaring from the television. With a flash of his infamous smile, he moved up the bed and captured Shannon's mouth in a searing kiss, his tongue exploring every inch of the cherub's mouth, sucking on his bottom lip. Shannon moaned, as his hand slipped down and removed the towel from Adam's hips.

Shannon's fingers slipped around Adam's erection, stroking it lightly. Adam smiled and leaned his head back, enjoying the skilled touch. That is, until Shannon stopped. Adam's eyes flew open and he looked down at his lover. "Why did you do that?" he asked, his voice choked with desire. Shannon smiled wickedly, licking his lips. "I wanna watch ya do it yourself," he whispered huskily.

Adam smiled back. "Damn," he said as Shannon moved over to make room for him. Shannon resumed his position, turning slightly so he could watch Adam as well. Adam reached down and wrapped his hand around his cock, moving his hand up and down slowly. Shannon started moving as well, both men staring at the other's erections.

Shannon reached out and placed his fingers on one of Adam's nipples, squeezing it between his fingers. Adam arched up off the bed, then looked at Shannon through half-lidded eyes. Shannon smiled, then leaned over and flicked his tongue over the other nipple, knowing the effect he was having on his lover. Adam's head dropped back and he growled low in his throat.

Both hands were flying now, each man racing toward their release. Adam noticed Shannon's hand was moving with the rhythm of the song, his fingers brushing over the tip, gathering the moisture there before slipping his fist back down to the base. Glancing up at his face, Adam noticed the flushed look creeping across Shannon's cheeks. He leaned over and kissed him deeply, then leaning back, whispered, "That's it, baby. Shoot for me."

A strangled growl escaped Shannon's lips as his back arched off the bed, his hand tightening on his cock as the thick, sticky fluid shot onto his hand and stomach. Seeing the younger man in the throes of his orgasm was enough to spur Adam on, as his pace increased. Moments later, he felt his balls tighten as he came all over himself as well.

Laying next to each other, panting heavily, Shannon looked over and grabbed Adam's hand, licking it clean before moving down and doing the same to his stomach and hips. Adam sighed happily. When his work was done, Shannon lay next to him and smiled. "Your turn," he whispered as Adam happily returned the favor, removing every trace of Shannon's release.

He crawled back up and kissed Shannon deeply, both men savoring the combination of tastes. Shannon curled up next to Adam, who wrapped his arms around him tightly. Behind him, Adam chuckled. "I never knew you were such a KISS fan, Shan," he whispered into Shannon's ear. Shannon giggled before turning over and staring into Adam's eyes. "I am now," he said, reaching down and wrapping his hand around Adam's cock. "Now, let's see if we can put the X in sex!"
