Chapter 1

   The five members of NSync lounged around the pool at their hotel watching their girlfriends splash each other and laugh.  “Damn, guys, how did we get so lucky to have such beautiful women?” Joey asked, his eyes never leaving Amber.  Chris grinned as he watched Danni shove Ambs’ head under the water.  “And fun to be with.” he added.  JC chuckled as his eyes roamed over Carrie’s sleek body.  “And sexy.” he murmured.  Lance shook his head.  “I don’t know what I did to deserve Michelle, but thank god I did it!” he said.  Justin just sighed.  “Shannon is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” he told them as he watched me swim away, giggling.
   
   In the pool, Carrie had noticed the guys watching us.  “They’re doing it again, guys.  God, don’t they ever give up?  They’re doing that ‘how did we get lucky’ thing again!  I think we need to snap them out of it.” she said with a grin.  Michelle laughed.  “Why?  I always get the best stuff when Lance is feeling lucky to have me!” she teased.  We all laughed, then Amber swam over to the side of the pool and looked up at Joey.  “Honey, are you coming in?  The water’s really nice.” she coaxed.  Joey stood up and immediately took off his shirt.  “Here I come, baby!” he said, then he did a cannonball that drenched the other four guys.  They all yelled, then stripped off their shirts and jumped in too.  For a while the sounds of laughter and splashing were the only sounds anyone could hear.  Finally we all got out and dried off, then headed upstairs to our rooms.  Danni and Chris were already kissing, and Amber and Joey were cuddled up in the corner of the elevator.

    JC looked at Carrie with a warm smile.  “What do you want to do tonight, darlin?” he asked.  She smiled slowly, and his cheeks turned pink.  “I think I want to go dancing.” she said, then chuckled as his face fell.  “Okay, we can go dancing.” he mumbled.  She whispered in his ear, “And after that I want to make love with you all night.”  His face lit up, and he kissed her.  “I like your ideas.” he murmured.  She kissed him, and whispered, “I thought you might!”  They kissed and cuddled the rest of the way upstairs.   When we got to our floor, we were dismayed to find that a few fans had managed to sneak past security, but we hid it well as the guys signed their autographs, and took a few pictures.  “Now ladies, you can’t be telling anyone else where we are.  We need to rest before the show tomorrow, or we won’t be able to perform.” Chris said seriously.  From the look of shock and dismay on their faces, you’d think he’d told them that the band was canceling the rest of the tour.  “We won’t tell, I swear!” one of them said with tears in her eyes.  Security escorted them downstairs, and we all went to our rooms.

    “So what do you want to do tonight, Shan?” Justin asked from the bathroom as he changed. (We were sharing a room, and sleeping in the same bed, but we hadn’t made love, or even seen each other naked yet.)  I sighed.  “I dunno, J, I’m kinda tired.  I think I want to stay in tonight, but if you want to go out, go ahead.  If you really want me to go out, though, I will.” I told him.  He stuck his head out of the bathroom.  “I wouldn’t make you go out when you don’t want to!  I was just asking cuz I heard that there’s a new club that’s really hot, and I know how much you love to dance.” he said.  I smiled at him.  “Well…let me take a little nap, and a hot shower, then we’ll see.” I said.  He came out in his boxers, and I blushed lightly.  “Can I take a nap with you?” he asked softly, taking me in his arms.  I smiled shyly.  “Of course you can, Justin.  You know I love sleeping in your arms.” I told him.  He bent his head and kissed me.  “Can I take a hot shower with you, too?” he whispered in my ear.
