Myles is your boyfriend, and he takes your virginity

I looked up at him, seeing him lying on top of me, his weight just above my body. His shirt was off, exposing his toned, tattooed chest and arms, and the only thing I could think was ‘God, he’s beautiful’. 

“I promise I’ll look after you,” Myles quietly said before kissing me. It was a light, but loving kiss. It was nothing too intense, but I could feel the emotion in his actions. He pulled away after a moment, his hand starting to move down my body. I felt my body tense slightly, and he grabbed my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

“Love, do you trust me?” he asked, his voice soft and caring. I locked eyes with him, nodding my head.

“Yes, I do,” I responded after a moment. 

When I spoke, he nodded, his hand moving to the waistband of my pants and slowly pulling them down. I lifted my hips slightly, making the fabric slide down my legs easier. He then leaves a trail of kisses down my body, from my shoulders to my hips. His kisses were soft and relaxing, and I could tell he was trying to hide his eagerness and excitement.

He looks up at me, silently asking for permission to continue, and I slowly nod my head. He knew how important this moment was, as it’s not every day that you lose your virginity. He started kissing lower, now moving in between my thighs, and a small, breathy moan escaped my lips. I felt Myles chuckle slightly against my body, clearly loving his effect on me. But God, I loved it. 

He looks me in the eyes again before speaking, his voice soft and gentle.

“Are you sure you’re okay with this?” after he spoke, I nod my head, silently assuring him that I was in fact ready for this.

He nods before grabbing a condom off the bedside table, unwrapping it and sliding it on himself before locking eyes with me once more. I give him a small nod, and once I do, he nods as well, then proceeds to slowly and carefully slide himself into me, letting out a small moan in the process. I too let out another quiet moan at the feeling of his cock deep inside me. Myles cuckles lightly at my moan, allowing me to adjust to the feeling of him befre he slowly starts to rock his hips back and forth, keeping the pace slow to start with.

“How’s that, love? Does that feel okay?” he looks down at me, watching my facial expression, making sure there was no signs of pain or discomfort. I slowly nod my head, my breathing much airier and breathier than before.

“I, I’m okay,” I manage to get out. He nods again, gradually increasing his speed. Both my and his moans grow louder and more frequent, becoming more and more breathess with each passing second.

“I’m, I’m gonna,” I whisper, feeling myself growing closer to my eventual climax. He nods his head, signalling to me that he too wasn’t far off either. 

When he thrusts in a little deeper, changing the angle slightly, I throw my head back, a loud moan escaping me as I feel my orgasm ripping through my entire body. At my release, I could hear Myles moaning as well, as well as him releasing as well. he collapsed on top of me, looking down at me, knowing he was the first, and hopefully the only, person I would ever have sex with.

Myles is your best friend, and he picks you up from a party when you're drunk

“Where are you right now?” his voice came through my phone's speaker, and all I could do was giggle in response. I don’t know how much I had drunk, but it was clear to say that I was absolutely wasted.

“Why?” I took another sip of my drink, and I swear Myles could hear it, because on the other end of the line, he let out a slight sigh.

“Because you’re drunk. Now, where are you.” his voice wasn’t questioning anymore, but rather more demanding.

“At a friend’s party, don’t worry,” I simply answered. It was the truth. I was genuinely at the party of a friend, however, I didn’t expect myself to get wasted.

“No shit, but where.” Myles was starting to sound slightly frustrated on the end of the line, and I couldn’t help but laugh slightly.

“Why are you asking?” I asked again. Around me, the room was starting to go slightly blurry and fuzzy, but I didn’t care.

“Because I’m gonna come pick you up. You’re clearly drunk, and I want to make sure you’re okay,” he answered. Myles had always been my best friend, and nothing more, yet there was a hint of protectiveness in his tone, more than how ‘just friends’ would speak to one another.

I finally gave in and gave him the address, and then went to grab another drink. As I did, one of the guys at the party came up to me. I didn’t know who he was, but I could see his eyes lingering over my body. Even in the drunk state I was in, I could sense something off about him.

Myles POV:

Fuck. She was at a party. Drunk. With who knows who there. I walked through the front door, inviting myself in, and my heart almost stopped when I saw her. She was talking to another guy. 

Before I went over to her, I managed to calm myself down and remind myself that she was just a friend. A friend that I also happened to have a massive crush on. I slowly made my way over to her and sat down next to her. Just one look at her and I could tell she was absolutely wasted.

“Come on, we’re leaving,” I looked down at her, seeing the redness in her eyes growing stronger, and hearing her words slurring together. At my words, she pouted and shook her head, and I sighed, wrapping my arm around her.

“I don’t want to,” she leaned against my shoulder, her voice quiet and sloppy. I instinctively tightened my arm around her, pulling her closer to me.

“No, you’re drunk. Let me take you home. You look like you’re about to pass out,” I locked eyes with her, seeing the reluctance in her eyes before she spoke again.

“Did I ever tell you how pretty you are Myles,” she quietly spoke, and I was slightly surprised by her words. Her and I always had a close friendship, but it had never gone past that point.

“I think you’re really pretty,” her voice continued to slur, and that is when I realised just how drunk she is. I thought to myself for a moment before finally thinking fuck it, and I picked her up, carrying her bridal style out of the house and into the passenger seat of my car.

“What are you doing, I was having fun,” she pouted over at me, but I didn’t answer. I simply started driving. She was in no state to be on her own, so I was taking her to mine for the night. She sat in the seat, crossing her arms, clearly disappointed that I had made her leave.

“Myles,” when she spoke again, I still didn’t answer, my focus purely on the road, now that I knew she was safe.

“Myles,” her voice grew slightly louder, and that was when I finally responded.

“Yeah?” I turned my head to look over at her for a moment before looking back at the road.

“Why did you come?” 

“You’re my best friend. I’ll do anything for you. You know that.”

“But I didn’t ask you to come.”

“You didn’t need to.”

She sighed, and we sat in silence for a few moments before she broke it again.

“Just answer the question. Why did you come.” her question made me think for a moment. Yes, she was my best friend, and the girl I had a secret admiration for for years, but she didn’t know about that, and now was definitely not the time to bring that up. Even if she had called me pretty earlier.

“I told you. When you called earlier, I could immediately tell you were drunk, and I didn’t want anything happening to you. Like I said, you’re my best friend, and I would do anything in the world for you.” I finally answered, pulling into the driveway of my house. 

Instead of getting out, we both sat in the car for a few minutes, just staring at each other.

“I meant what I said earlier, by the way,” she quietly admitted, causing a flutter in my chest. The girl that I was madly in love with, and have been for years, meant it when she called me pretty. I could already feel the butterflies in my stomach.

“Did you?” I said after a moment, still processing her words. She slowly nodded her head.

“Yeah, I did. I’ve wanted to say it for ages, but I really like you, Myles. As in, more than just a best friend way.” her voice grew softer as she spoke, and as she finished speaking, my heart skipped a beat. I couldn’t tell if it was genuinely her speaking or just the alcohol, but I could somehow sense the sincerity behind her words.

I suddenly couldn’t control myself as I leaned closer to her, capturing her lips in a deep and passionate kiss. I cupped her face in my hands, pouring my heart and soul into that kiss. Within seconds, I felt her lips moving against mine, and I started kissing her harder. This was the moment I had been dreaming about for years. And it was finally happening.

After a few moments, I slowly pulled away, looking over at her, and I could feel the blood in my body rushing to my cheeks.

“I-I’m sorry, I don’t know what just happened. I- I just couldn’t help myself,” I stumbled over my words, but after, I saw the slightest smile growing on her face.

“Don’t apologise, it’s okay. I liked it,” she softly said, and I felt the anxiety starting to subside in my body.

“It’s just, I’ve been too afraid to say it, but I’ve been in love with you for years. Since we started hanging out and became friends, there was always this feeling that I got when I was with you,” I started saying, but before I could finish, she cut me off, suddenly kissing me again.

“I love you Myles,” she quietly said after a moment, breaking the kiss once more. Again, I couldn’t tell if it was her or the alcohol talking, but I couldn’t help but smile slightly at her words.

“I love you too.”

myles comes home from work one day with a big announcement, so you two decide to celebrate

It had been a long day, and I swear my heart skipped a beat when I finally heard the front door opening. I saw Myles walking through the door, and I immediately ran up to him, wrapping my arms around him and pulling him into a tight hug.

“I missed you so much,” I quietly say, burying my face in his shoulder. I felt him wrapping his arms around me, gently placing a small kiss on the top of my head.

“I missed you more my beautiful love,” he responds, whispering into my ear. I look up at him, my eyes locking with his.

“How was work?” I ask him, pulling away slightly so he can fully come inside. When I asked him, I noticed him grinning a little more.

“Well,” he starts, and I can’t help but narrow my eyes a little at his words, now more intrigued and curious.

“I got a call today, and you’ll never guess who it was,” he started, looking directly down at me. I raise an eyebrow at him, and his grin grows even wider.

“It was Slash,” he simply says, the grin on his face somehow growing wider as he speaks. My jaw practically drops at his words, in complete shock and disbelief.

“As in, the guitarist of Guns N Roses?” I look up at him, completely dumbfounded, and he nods his head.

“Yeah, he’s putting a solo record together, and he asked if I would do vocals on a couple of tracks,” he explains, and I feel myself grinning at his words. The love of my life was about to work with one of the most famous musicians in all of rock history. I hug him even tighter in response, feeling his arms wrap around me once again.

“That’s amazing love, are you gonna do it?” I ask him, looking up into his eyes. He looks down at me, thinking for a moment before nodding his head.

“Yeah, I think so. It would be a great opportunity, and may help Alter Bridge gain some new fans as well,” he responds, having very clearly thought this through. I slowly nod my head, my arms still tightly wrapped around him.

“Well, I’ll support you whatever you end up doing, you know that?” I look up at him, lightly pressing my lips against his. The moment I kiss him, I feel all of his self restraint disappear, and he kisses me back, his lips hungrily attacking mine. His arms pulled me closer to him, if that were even possible, before he pinned me against the nearest wall, breaking the kiss for a moment to look at me.

“You know love, I don’t know about you, but I think we should celebrate,” he quietly says before kissing my neck, causing me to let out a small moan in response. My hands find their way into his hair, grabbing onto it and lightly pulling, causing Myles to moan out softly against the skin on my neck. He continues kissing, leaving dark hickeys over the skin.

After a few moments, he pulls back again, admiring his newest piece of work on my skin. He then brings his attention off my neck and up to meet my gaze, his eyes meeting my gaze. His hand gently cups my jaw, his thumb grazing my skin.

“I could take you, right here, right now love,” he softly says, and I let out a shaky breath. I look up at him, and I slowly nod my head, feeling the desire and need for him in my body growing stronger and stronger with each second.

“I need you,” is all I can manage to get out before he kisses me again, this time even more desperately than before. His hands grab the hem of my pants, quickly pulling them down before he unbuttons his jeans, and proceeds to pull them down as well, causing him to spring free and hit my thigh, already rock hard. That was one of the things I loved about him: he never bothered to wear underwear. He said it made it easier for when moments like this one arrived.

He cups my face again, looking back up at me, the slightest look of concern on his face.

“I don’t have anything on me right now, is that still okay baby?” he asks, looking directly into my eyes. Another thing I loved about him was that no matter how long we had been together, and how many times we had engaged in these… intimate activities, he always made sure I was okay with what we were doing. Always. He never tried to do something without making sure he wasn’t stepping any boundaries.

As I nod my head in response to his question, he pushes me a little higher up the wall, allowing his cock to slowly slide inside me, and a moan escapes my mouth, feeling him fill me with himself. He grins at my moan, and after a moment to allow me to adjust to him, he slowly starts to move, his eyes never leaving me.

“That’s it, baby, you’re doing so well,” he quietly says, keeping his pace slow to start with. My arms tighten around him, and I bury my face in his shoulder. The way he felt, the way he spoke, just everything about Myles made me crazy and drew me insane, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

He gradually increased his speed, now moving faster against me, and I felt my body heating up, growing closer and closer to my release. I let out a moan against his shoulder, and his arms tightened around me as he fucked me. He lightly grabbed my chin, pulling my face out of his shoulder so I was looking at him.

“I love you, so so much,” he quietly says before kissing me again, still keeping his pace. I immediately kiss him back, feeling his lips firmly against mine.

After he breakes the kiss, I look up at him, my breathing growing shakier and more labored as he continues to move.

“I love you too,” I manage to get out before I bury my face in his shoulder again, a soft moan leaving my lips. At the sound of my moan, he too lets out a low moan.

He increases his speed even further, and the moan that leaves my mouth is even louder than the ones before. His movements become quicker and sloppier, and I can tell he’s getting close. 

Within seconds, his arms tighten around me as he reaches his climax, and I felt him spilling inside me. I let out a moan against his shoulder, feeling myself come to my own release.

After a few moments, he brushes a strand of hair out of my face, looking down at me.

“I love you so much baby, so goddamn much,” he quietly speaks, pulling me in for a light, yet passionate kiss.

Myles Kennedy x Reader

Professor Kennedy is your college professor, and you stay back after class for a little *extra* help

The bell had just rung and the rest of the class was starting to get out of their seats and make their way home, but I sat there still. There was a question I needed to ask, and I didn't want to ask in front of the rest of the class.

“Umm, professor, can I ask something?” I asked him, getting out of my seat and slowly making my way over to Professor Kennedy’s desk. He sat there in his chair, looking through one of the textbooks, finalising his next lesson plan. When I called out to him, he looked up at me, and I saw his blue eyes through his glasses.

“What’s up? Everything okay?” I couldn’t help but notice the slight concern in his voice when he heard me asking if I could ask a question. He put his book down, looking up at me.

I nod my head, now standing right opposite him on the other side of his desk.

“Umm, yeah, I just didn’t really understand any of that lecture you just gave,” I quietly admitted to him. His expression softens slightly, and I can’t help but bite the inside of my mouth, not wanting to upset my favourite professor. He slowly nods my head, gesturing for me to sit in the spare seat next to him.

“What exactly didn’t you understand?” he asked me in a quiet yet inquisitive voice as I sat down next to him, feeling slightly worried and nervous to explain.

“The um… part where you were explaining the um… the different types of attributions and stuff, it was really confusing. Do you think you could explain that again please?” I looked over at him as I spoke, us two now being the only ones in the room. He immediately nodded his head, shifting slightly so he was facing me more.

“Of course I can, did you understand exactly what they are?” he asked me, and I slowly nodded my head. I understood what attributions were, but it was all the different ones that confused me. He seems to understand what I mean, and he nods his head slowly.

“But you have a hard time understanding each different one?” he asked, and I nod my head, glad he understands what I’m having trouble wrapping my head around. He nods again, thinking to himself. 

“Well I’m happy to stay back a bit to help you out,” he said, a small grin forming on his face. I looked up at him, noticing the slight shift in his tone. There was no way. But I could see it in his eyes. He was thinking about that.

It wasn’t that I thought he was attractive. Professor Kennedy was in all honesty one of the most attractive men I had ever seen, but due to obvious reasons, it was never something I had pursued. He was my college professor, of course I couldn’t go after him like that.

A small shaky breath left me as I looked up at him, his eyes looking down at me through his glasses.

“You looked very pretty today,” he softly says, leaning forward to whisper into my ear. At his words, it felt as though I had butterflies in my stomach as I felt myself blushing slightly.

“Professor, I-” I started talking, but he cut me off by placing a finger over my mouth, immediately shushing me.

“Call me Myles, darling,” he whispered, and all I could do was nod my head. 

“I’ve been thinking about you a lot,” he continued to whisper into my ear, and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach growing even more.

“Y-you have?” I was extremely inquisitive by his words, slightly confused, and slightly shocked as he nodded his head.

“Every night. And seeing you today, walking into class in that dress, made it hard to focus on teaching today,” he continued to whisper in my ear, his voice a low and husky whisper, and it was oddly arousing. I couldn’t help but squeeze my thighs together slightly, and he definitely noticed. He looked down, gently chuckling to himself, placing a hand on my thigh. At his touch, a tiny gasp left my mouth, and I was finding it harder and harder by the second to control myself.

“You have no idea how much I’ve thought about you darling,” he whispered in my ear, pulling back to look at me and my expression. I looked up at him, and the only thing I could do was slowly nod my head, getting what he was implying, and giving him my full permission.

He chuckled again at my response before sliding his hand slightly further up my thigh.

“Are you sure darling?” his voice was still low, whispering in my ear again. I nodded my head again, this time with a little more confidence.

“Y-yes. I-I’m sure, Myles,” my voice comes out slightly shaky, but not in a way that was hesitant.

When I said those words, he slowly nodded to himself before sliding his hand up even further, sliding up under the skirt of my dress, and I felt myself squeezing my thighs together even more. He chuckled slightly at my reaction, putting his hand under my chin and bringing it up so I was looking at him.

“You’re so pretty darling, I want you, all of you,” his voice remained low and husky as he whispered in my ear again, and I continued to look up at him, staring directly into his eyes.

He met my gaze for a few moments before leaning forward and softly pressing his lips against mine. It wasn’t hard at first, but when he felt me kissing him back, he started to grow more hungry, his lips kissing mine more desperately. A soft moan escaped me at his increased hunger, which only seemed to rile him up more. He started biting my bottom lip softly as he continued to kiss me, his hand now fully up my dress, now teasing the fabric of my underwear.

“God I’ve wanted to do that forever,” he said soon after pulling away, looking down at me. When I felt him pull away, it took me a couple seconds to process what had happened before I slowly leaned back in, kissing him again. I felt him let out a shaky breath against me, his hand still firmly placed on my thigh, his other arm slowly starting to wrap around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

I felt him pull my body up against him, gently lifting me so I was sitting on his lap as I kissed him, and I slowly wrapped my arms around him as I did, deepening the kiss even further. I opened my mouth slightly, letting him slide his tongue into my mouth, and a soft moan escaped my mouth.

At the sound of my moan, I felt him growing underneath me, and my hand made it’s way into his hair, gripping a few strands and lightly tugging at it. He broke the kiss for a few seconds, looking directly into my eyes.

“I need you darling, so bad,” his voice was low and sultry as he locked his eyes with mine. A shaky breath left me at his words, and I couldn’t help but pull hair a little harder, causing him to moan out softly. He attacked my mouth again, his lips firmly pushing themselves against mine.

“M-myles, please,” my voice was barely audible, my breathing now having picked up slightly as he continued to kiss me. At my words, he almost instinctively knew what it was that I wanted, and his hand that was holding onto the fabric of my underwear gently and slowly started to pull them down my legs. He broke the kiss for another moment, looking up at me as he continued his action.

“Are you sure? I don’t want to do anything you’re not comfortable with,” his voice was still low and husky, but there was a slight hint of concern laced within his tone. I nodded my head, positive that I was okay with what he was currently doing, as well as what was about to come. He looked at me, slightly hesitantly, but his actions sped up, my underwear now fully down to my knees.

“Are you absolutely positive darling?” he asked me again, and I nodded my head once more, this time a little more forceful.

“Yes, I’m sure,” I locked eyes with him, a sense of eagerness in my voice. He nodded to himself at my verbal response, lifting my body up slightly with his arm.

“If you want to stop, just say it. Okay? I don’t want you doing anything that you don’t want to. Promise me you’ll say so if it becomes too much,” he kept his eyes locked on mine, his voice now filled with more concern than before.

“I promise, please, I need you,” I quickly responded, now becoming more and more desperate. He nodded again at my promise, still keeping my hips slightly raised off his body as he tugged at the zip of his pants, and I looked down to see his cock springing free.

My eyes widened slightly at the sight of it. It was huge. I’d never seen one this big before, and I was about to have that inside me. He looked up at me once more, looking into my eyes with a look that seeked confirmation, and I nodded again. At my nod, he slowly lowered me onto him again, and I felt him pushing himself into me.

I kept my arms around him as I straddled his cock, sitting on his lap, and a soft moan escaped my mouth at the feeling of him inside me, and he smirked slightly at the noise leaving my mouth.

“You like that darling? You like taking my cock like that?” he chuckled ever so slightly, watching me rock my hips forward slightly, grinding my body into him, and he let out a soft breathy moan as I did. I nodded my head in response to his question, pushing my body forward into him slightly more.

“Y-yes, please,” my breath came out soft and shaky, my arms still firmly and tightly around him. At my words, he softly moaned, burying his face in my neck, leaving soft and gentle kisses.

“You feel so good darling, taking me like that,” his voice was low as he spoke against my neck, almost directly into my ear. At his words, I pushed my hips forward again, throwing my head back, and another moan left me as I did. His hand rested on my hip under my skirt, firmly holding me as I rocked my hips back and forth into him. 

A small moan left him as I continued to grind my body against him. My arms stayed around him, but on my next move forward, I rested my head on his shoulder, still keeping my pace.

“Just like that darling, I’m getting close,” his breathing became more and more labored as he spoke, it becoming harder for him to speak in full sentences. His other hand, which was wrapped around my waist, tightened, pulling my body even closer to him.

“Myles, I-” I started speaking, but I was cut short by him suddenly gripping my chin, pulling my face up from his shoulder so I met his gaze.

“Look at me darling, tell me how good it feels taking my cock like that,” his eyes were locked with mine as he spoke, not letting me look away, even if I wanted to. At his words, I couldn’t help but feel even more aroused, and a breathy moan left me, still rocking my hips at a rhythmic pace.

“I- I love it, I love, taking your cock,” my sentence came out weak and labored, many short breaths coming out in between words. His arm tightened even more around my waist.

“Good, because I’m about to come darling,” his voice was low and sultry, his eyes staring at me through his glasses, and I couldn’t help but throw my head back as another moan left me. He seemed slightly disappointed at my action, gripping my face a little harder, pulling my face back to meet his.

“No darling, I want you to look at me, look at me when I’m filling you with my come,” he spoke in the same tone, the slightest smirk on his face as he spoke, and his words were enough to finally send me over the edge.

I kept my eyes on him, no longer able to hold back as I reached my climax, another moan leaving me, and fighting all restraint to throw my head back as I came on him. Soon after, I felt him spilling himself inside me, another moan escaping him as he did, and he closed his eyes for a moment before looking back up at me, his cheeks flushed and rosy, the tiniest beads of sweat forming on his face.

“You did so good for me darling,” he kept his gaze on me, cupping my cheek with his face as I looked down at him, hearing my shallow and shaky breaths as I started to come down from my release. I closed my eyes for a few moments before looking back at him.

“You look so beautiful,” his voice was still low and soft, but no longer in the seductive tone he had before, his voice now gentle and caring. He kept his arm tightly around me, keeping me close to him. I felt myself blush at his words, and I couldn’t help but bury myself in his shoulder.

“You know darling,” he started talking again, and I lifted my head to look back at him.

“Yes?” I tilted my head to the side, curious to what he had to say.

“We should do this again,” the volume of his voice lowered as he spoke those words, the simple phrase having so much meaning.

When he said those words, I contemplated it for a few moments before slowly nodding my head, a small smile starting to form on my face.

“I would really like that, Myles,” my voice was low and breathy, and I watched him give a slight smile.

After a few moments, I lifted myself off of him, adjusting my clothing so it wasn’t obvious what I had just engaged in, and as I went to leave the room, I looked back at Myles, and I swear I saw him wink at me before I left.

you sleeping on top of myles as he talks to you in your sleep (myles pov)

the only sound in the room was her soft breathing as she slept. it was one of my favourite sounds in the world. 

I held my arms around her as she lay on top of me, in a deep and peaceful sleep. she looked so relaxed, and I couldn't help but admire her.

“you're so gorgeous when you sleep darling,” my voice was barely a whisper, not wanting to wake her, but I needed to say it. regardless of whether or not she could hear me, I was going to tell her.

I gently stroked her hair as she slept, feeling the soft strands between my fingers. she was always so beautiful, but especially when she slept. 

“I love you so much baby, so so much,” I continued to softly and quietly talk to her in her sleep, not expecting an answer, but still talking anyway. 

whenever she fell asleep on me, my eyes never left her. she was my everything, and I couldn't bring myself to look away, even for a second. her breathing filled the room, it being in slow and even breaths, and a small smile crept onto my face.

“you're so beautiful love, i love it when you sleep on top of me,” I continued playing with her hair as she slept, feeling her chest rising and falling against my body, her arms loosely around me. I continued to look down at her, falling more and more in love with her with every second I spent looking at her.

the way her arms felt around my body. the way she always had one leg up when she slept. the way she occasionally mumbled. the way her hair was always perfect and soft. the way her entire body was close to me, not leaving even an inch of space between us. everything about her made me go crazy for her.

“I love you so much darling, so so much. I know you won't hear this right now, but you mean everything to me,” as quiet as my words and voice were, I couldn't have been more honest and true with them. 

I felt her stirring slightly, wondering if she had started to wake up, but when she went still again after a few moments, I knew she was still asleep. I kept stroking her hair and tracing her skin, loving the way it felt under my fingers.

after a few more minutes, she stirred again, and I continued to look down at her as she slowly opened her eyes, looking up at me.

“you have a good sleep love?”

hi guys!

ive decided im gonna start writing some myles kennedy esc one shots, so feel free to let me know if you have any requests!

the last ever alter bridge show

concept idea!!!!

They had just arrived in Orlando for their last-ever show before their departure as a band. This was the day of the One Day Remains show, and they had something huge planned. Some of these songs they had never played and some had only been played a handful of times. After tonight, the world would never watch Alter Bridge play together ever again.

Myles had been sitting in the tour bus all day, reading over lyrics and playing his solos, making sure every note and word was perfect, afraid of mucking up. Mark was inside the venue, speaking to the lovely workers, and then going into the dressing rooms to practice his guitar parts. Scott and Brian had been in a room together for the day, talking, and rehearsing. Everyone was set on making tonight perfect.

All the band’s family had come to watch, as well as fans flying from all across the world, putting an extra layer of pressure on the band, meaning more people to impress. Nearly fifty thousand people were planning to attend tonight, making it one of their biggest shows in their career.

They had an epic show planned, going through songs from all of their albums, including bonus tracks, and a couple of unreleased tracks, surprise guest artists, and playing songs from their other entities and solo projects.

“Good evening Orlando! How are we feeling tonight!” Myles yelled out to the crowd after playing the opening song, Addicted to Pain. The crowd cheered back in response, however, Myles wasn’t feeling it.

“I said how are we feeling tonight!” He yelled again, and the crowd cheered even louder in response. Myles was more satisfied with the answer and turned to Scott with a grin on his face. Scott saw Myles’ expression and started playing the opening drums to Sin After Sin. Mark joined in and the band broke out into song, and then went into White Knuckles.

Three songs in, and the band was already feeling the adrenaline that came with live performances, sad they were no longer going to experience it after tonight, but glad of their decision.

“Do you have any requests that you’d like to hear played tonight?” Mark asked one fan in the front row of the crowd, and the fan stood in shock for a second, in disbelief they were talking to the monster that was Mark Tremonti.

“Yes, I’d really like to hear Clear Horizon,” they requested, and so the band went into it. Myles’ vocals were blissful and deep, as well as soaring and high, and the instruments went along perfectly. When they finished the song, the crowd broke into applause, giving the band a nearly five-minute standing ovation, causing Myles to stare in absolute shock, and making Brian ever so slightly teary-eyed.

“Now we have a little treat for y’all tonight. We thought it would be a good idea if we decided to play some of our B-sides, so if you guys know this one, feel free to sing along. This is called Never Born To Follow.” Myles said into the microphone when the crowd died down, before the band broke into the AB III bonus track, one of the few times the song had ever been played live. Myles had sung his high note at the end perfectly and made it seem effortless, making the audience scream and cheer.

The band proceeded to play some of their usual songs, such as Cry of Achilles, The Writing on The Wall, Ties That Bind, Find The Real, Silver Tongue, Wouldn’t You Rather and Before Tomorrow Comes before Mark stepped forward to his microphone, looking around at the ginormous crows before speaking, letting Myles step off for a minute for a short break, to rest his voice.

“Thank you guys so much for coming tonight, this really means a lot to us, so as a thank you, we’re gonna play one or two songs from other bands we’ve been a part of over the years, so make some noise for Mr Scott Stapp!” he yelled, as the crowd started screaming, watching the Creed singer make his way on stage. The band played two songs together, Higher and One Last Breath before Scott left the stage, and Myles came back on.

The band played a few more songs, The Other Side, Slip To The Void, Holiday, Ghost Of Days Gone By, and Show Me A Leader, before another short break, this time, the entire band walking off stage.

When the lights came back on, Myles was the only one on stage, sitting in the centre of the stage, acoustic guitar in hand.

“Welcome to the more mellowed down acoustic part of the set, I’m gonna play a couple slower songs, and then we’ll get back to the heavy rock 'n roll,” Myles explained before playing the opening notes to Wonderful Life. The crowd listened as they were blissfully serenaded by Myles’ beautiful voice, and watched the song seamlessly transition into Watch Over You. When he finished, the crowd broke into applause, screaming at the top of their lungs after the slowed-down songs.

“Thank you so much. These next couple songs are throwing it right back to the Mayfield days, one of these songs I’ve never actually played live before, so this is gonna be interesting,” he said, swapping guitars, and playing the opening chords to Don’t Walk Away. When he finished, he started playing some chords to another song that was later recognised as Reigns Over Me, one of the unreleased tracks from the second Mayfield Four record. The crowd applauded when Myles had a very short break, as he was passed another guitar.

“This song is from one of the solo records, this is Year of the Tiger,” he introduced the song before playing it. The crowd cheered and applauded, and then cheered some more when Mark walked back on stage, holding an acoustic guitar, and sitting down next to Myles, who had replaced his guitar with an in-hand microphone, rather than the mic being attached to the stand.

The crowd went wild when Mark started playing the intro to In Loving Memory, with members of the audience holding up their flashlights, and then more and more people repeating as the song progressed.

After the acoustic set, the whole band was back on stage, now playing Blackbird, arguably one of the most iconic songs in their entire discography. The crowd went wild to the long epic song and gave the band another standing ovation when the song ended. The band then went into Metalingus, as well as New Way To Live and Breathe, two more of their bonus tracks. They then played Crows on a Wire and Indoctrination.

They then took a short break, and Mark came back out, this time to the centre of the stage.

“We’re gonna play you guys a couple of Tremonti songs tonight, so please sing along if you know the words, this is Dust,” Mark said into the mic before starting the song. The rest of the band joined in, and soon after Mark started singing. They played two more Tremonti songs after, The Things I’ve Seen, and Leave It Alone. The crowd cheered and applauded, Mark throwing one of his picks to a fan down on the ground.

The band played a few more songs, like My Champion, Brand New Start, The End Is Here, Fortress, Down To My Last, Fallout, Dying Light, and finished with Words Darker Than Their Wings before another five-minute break, with all of them leaving the stage.

Before the band came back on stage, Myles said through his microphone; “We’ve got another special guest for you tonight Orlando, so show some love for the one and only Slash!” he yelled, the lights coming back on, the crowd seeing the band standing on stage with the legendary top hat wearing guitarist. The crowd cheered for what felt like forever before Slash started playing the opening notes to Back From Cali, with Myles happily singing along, his voice still sounding as good as it did at the start of the show. When the song was playing, Slash and the band broke into Rise Today, which caused another loud scream from the audience.

At the end of the song, the lights went out and the fans thought the show was over, however, the lights came back on about a minute later, with the band all standing on stage, about to play another song.

“We’ve got one more song for y’all tonight, this is called Never Say Die,” Myles said before the band broke into the bonus track. Myles had put extra emphasis on the lyric ‘One last thing before we say goodbye’, causing many of the fans to shed some tears. At the end of the song, the band all stood together in the middle of the stage, an endless number of thank you’s leaving their mouths. 

They then proceeded to walk off the stage, making this the last ever show Alter Bridge would ever play, and they sure made it one for the history books, giving their fans one last thing before saying goodbye.
