Prologue

AJ and Emily had been happily married for two years now. They spent most of their first year as husband and wife being the typical newlywed couple. They took vacations whenever they could and made love every chance they had. The second year wasn't quite as easy as the first. Kevin's deciding to leave the group was very hard on AJ and he was moody for several weeks, not wanting things to change and missing the glory days of the group. The remaining four decided to stick together and work on yet another album. Unfortunately, most of the recording was done in L.A.

Emily had also seen her fair share of changes. After a year, she decided to chase one of her dreams and signed up for a two-year nursing school program. She was exhausted from all the studying and classwork and AJ was gone a lot of the time recording. She was moody at him because he was gone so much and he was moody with her because he needed her support to get through the making of an album in the midst of all the changes in the group, but she was unable to come to L.A. with him because of school.

Somehow though, they managed to work through it and celebrated their second wedding anniversary together by taking a weekend trip to a cabin in Aspen.

“I'm so glad we got to take this trip together.” he said, wrapping his arms around her as they snuggled together on the couch in front of a warm fire.

“Me too. I think it was just what we needed between school and the album.”

AJ kissed the top of her head. “I'm sorry things have been difficult. But just look on the bright side- the album's done and you only have six months of school left!”

Emily sighed. “It'll just be nice to live under the same roof as you again!”

“Then I can make love to you whenever I want instead of having phone sex all the time!” he said, slipping his hand underneath the front of her shirt and stroking her stomach.

“Hey, do you remember that thing we did on our honeymoon?” she asked, looking up at him.

AJ grinned. “Of course.”

“Do you want to do it again?” she asked.

“I'd love to!” he said. “Did you bring the massage oil?”

“Of course!”

“Race you to the bedroom!” he said, jumping off the couch. Emily laughed and chased after him.
