Chapter Seven

A week had passed since they arrived back in Florida. "So when did Aaron say Jackie was coming over?" Nick asked Sadie. He was nervous about her being over after everything Aaron had said.

Sadie gave him a strange look, "She'll be here soon… Nick, are you okay?"

"I dunno…" he answered. "Do I have a fever?" he asked Sadie, trying to think of a reason to tell Aaron not to have Jackie come over.

She laughed but humored him, placing a hand on his forehead, "No, Nicky… You are not sick. Why are you so nervous? He's sixteen, it's natural for him to have a girlfriend."

Nick pouted as there was a ring at the door.

Aaron walked downstairs as calmly as he could to answer the door. He opened it and found his beautiful girlfriend. Her long brown hair was pulled up. Her bright blue eyes shown with a smile at the sight of Aaron. He smiled back and pulled her in to hold her.

He heard Nick groan from the other room.

"Aaron!" Jackie squealed, "I missed you so much!" She leaned into him, kissing him again and again, finally pushing them both inside the house.

Sadie giggled at their actions and hugged Nick's arm, placing her lips on his shoulder.

Nick slapped his forehead, "Shut the door, Guys!"

Aaron kicked it shut, still kissing her. "I missed you," he announced.

Jackie kissed him again, moaning as Aaron's hands found their way around her back, pulling her to him. She giggled as his cold hands traveled under her shirt to the skin of her back. Her arms were around his neck and she placed a hand on his head to hold him closer.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Nick stood, walking over to the two, "That'll be enough of that." He shook his head, "Hi Jackie, it's been awhile."

Aaron shot him a dirty look as he stood there with his arm still around Jackie.

Jackie blushed, "Hi Nick." She looked pretty shy for someone just lip locking with her boyfriend.

"Let's go watch TV," Nick said as he led the two into the other room.

"Sadie, this is Jackie," Aaron announced, "my girlfriend." He liked the way that sounded and smiled as he looked at her admiringly. Jackie giggled.

Sadie followed them into the living room, amused by Nick's actions. She knew Aaron and Jackie were going to need her help if they wanted any privacy.

Aaron sat on the love seat and pulled Jackie down with him, wrapping his arms around her.

Nick watched them like a hawk. He barely noticed when Sadie sat next to him.

"Nick," she whispered, "Nick, chill… Baby, take your eyes off of them for three minutes and look at me. Don't worry… they're not gonna disappear."

He looked to Sadie and smiled weakly.

"Now, what's the problem? I thought you knew Jackie… and she seems like a really sweet girl." Sadie noticed the hesitant look on his face. "Don't worry, I don't think they're paying attention," she stated as she saw them start making out.

"I do know Jackie. She is a sweet girl, but I mean…" he whispered, "I just… don't want them to jeopardize the rest of their lives."

She started laughing a little bit while trying not to hurt his feelings, "Nick, they're just boyfriend and girlfriend. It could be worse. When you were his age, you were dating Mandy."

‘But I wasn't sleeping with Mandy,’ he thought. "Yeah, well, they're a lot closer than Mandy and I were…"

"They'll be fine," she poked his nose. She looked as the young couple stood up, "Where you guys going, Aaron?"

"Upstairs…" Aaron said softly, waiting for Nick's objection.

"I don’t think so!" Nick almost yelled, "We're all gonna watch movies. Where's BJ?! BJ! BJ!"

BJ walked into the room on the phone.

"We're watching movies. Hang up," Nick ordered and BJ walked back out of the room. "Aaron, Jackie, watch movies with us," Nick rambled.

Sadie very quickly placed one hand across Nick's belly and the other one on his knee, purposely locking him in the sitting position. "Have fun guys," she told Aaron and Jackie, "and we're gonna come check on you in an hour. Deal?"

"Thanks Sadie," Aaron said with a smile as he led Jackie upstairs.

"Uh… wait!" Nick called out. "That's not… Ugh!" Nick stuttered as they kept walking away. He looked at Sadie.

"What?" she asked innocently.

"I can't believe you just did that," he smirked.

"Oh Nick…" she rubbed his leg affectionately, "What's to worry about?"

"He could… She could get… UGH!" he moaned and threw his head back dramatically.

Sadie sighed, tickling his exposed neck. "Baby…"

Nick giggled and raised his shoulder. "What?" he pouted, picking his head back up.

"Chill."

"But I-" Nick started.

Sadie leaned up, kissing him fiercely. She silently climbed on his lap, straddling his legs.

He moaned into the kiss. Until he thought about his brother upstairs, probably doing the same thing. He stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong?" she panted.

"Nothing, I just…" he looked up at the ceiling and groaned, his head falling back again.

"Tell me?" she asked, "Come on, Nicky."

"I can't. I promised," Nick said, "Come on. Let's watch movies."

She nodded understandingly, "You actually wanna watch movies? I thought you were only using that as an excuse to keep Aaron down stairs…"

"I just don't want to think about anything right now," Nick said softly, pressing play on the remote.

"Okay sure," Sadie replied, leaning her head on his shoulder, "Let's watch movies."

***

Aaron gave her a quick tour. "Nick and Sadie's room, BJ's room, extra room, bathroom," he pointed until he got to his room. "My room…" he smiled opening the door, pulling her in with him.

Jackie giggled, "Your room, huh? Well…" She flopped down on the bed, staring up at him.

He smiled and walked over to the bed where he crawled in and laid down next to her, tracing the features on her face with his fingertips. When he reached her chin, he moved her head so he could lean in and kiss her lips.

She sighed into the kiss, deepening it. Pulling away slightly she said, "Aaron… I missed you so much. I'm so excited you're so close now."

"Me too, Jackie," he said kissing her again, and moving so he was slightly on top of her.

She wrapped her arms around his back, pulling him fully onto her body. She let her hands wander, ending up on his ass.

He moaned into the kiss, his hands wandering up her shirt. ‘You should have waited…’ he heard Nick's voice say. He shook it from his head and moved his kisses to her neck.

"Aaron…" her body responded, pushing up into his.

‘You should have waited…’ Aaron continued to push the thoughts away. He was trying here! He lifted her shirt over her head and tossed it to the floor.

Jackie lightly touched her fingers to his crotch, moving them in a circular motion. "That do anything?" she teased.

Aaron shuddered. ‘Should have waited…’ He rolled off of her.

She sat up, lifting Aaron's shirt to lick his tummy.

"No… Oh God… Jackie…" he started, but ended up moaning.

‘Should have waited…’

He sat up and pulled his shirt down. "Jackie… I… I can't…" he mumbled.

Jackie raised an eyebrow before staring at his pants, "It looks like you can to me."

Aaron was frustrated. "I CAN… just… not now…" he picked up his pillow and put it over the bulge. ‘Thanks Nick…’ he thought.

She raised her eyebrow with a smirk. "Why not? You scared, Baby?" she whispered, "It's okay… I'll take care of you." She laid on top of him, grinding into his hips.

He groaned and rolled his eyes. "Jackie, Sweetie, stop," he begged, moving her off him and moving to the end of the bed. He reached and handed her the shirt she’d taken off. "Let's just… talk…" he suggested.

Jackie shook her head holding up her blouse, "You actually WANT me to put this on? Damn… What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing's wrong. Is it so bad that I just want to talk?" he asked.

"No… but let's face it, Aaron. I know you," she got up and sat next to him. She placed a hand on his thigh, "What's up?"

He looked up and into her eyes. "I uh… I told Nick," he mumbled, afraid of her reaction.

Jackie's eyes went wide, "You told him? In God's name, why? Is THAT why he's acting so strange?"

Aaron nodded, "Yeah. See… we haven't been that close lately, and we were having a conversation and being totally honest with each other. I found out that Nick and Willa never had sex, that Julia was his first. He was opening up to me, and he asked me if I was a virgin. I tried avoiding it, but he kept pushing it. I was honest,” he lowered his head, “Are you mad?"

"No, I'm not mad. I can't be mad at you for sharing something that's… Well, you know…" she smiled and started laughing, "I bet he thinks I'm a lil slut now, huh?"

"Not at all," Aaron smiled, "He uh… he was worried when I told him and asked, ya know… who… and I told him it was you, and he seemed a little relieved. I explained that we love each other, and he said that in his opinion, I should have waited. That's why I feel so… funny here… now," Aaron motioned to the bed.

She giggled, "I understand… Especially in your brother's house." She looked at the clock, "Aaron, I should probably get going."

"I'll see if Nick will let me use his truck and I'll drive you," Aaron smiled, taking her hand.

"Okay," she grinned.

They walked down the stairs hand in hand, seeing Nick and Sadie cuddled up on the couch watching Save the Last Dance. They looked too cute.

"Nick, can I borrow the truck?" Aaron asked from the bottom of the stairs.

"Where you going?" Nick asked, looking over his shoulder at Aaron.

"Jackie's gotta go home. I wanted to drive her," Aaron explained.

Nick nodded, but said, "Yeah, but not the truck… Take a car…" Sadie had really helped him calm down. The fact that Aaron and Jackie both had their clothes on straight helped too, "The keys are on the counter."

Aaron rolled his eyes with a smile. "Thanks man," Aaron called.

Sadie sat up stretching, "You okay with them now?"

Nick scrunched his face, “Kinda…” He turned his attention to Jackie, “It was nice seeing you again, Jackie.”

"You too, Nick," she became shy again, following Aaron out the door.

Sadie kissed his cheek, "You're still upset… Worried maybe. You should talk to him when he gets back. Now will you tell me what's going on?"

Nick looked at Sadie. "I am kinda worried still and I will talk to him when he gets back. Then I'll talk to you about it," he answered, kissing her forehead.

"Fine," she sighed teasingly, moving away from his body.

"What’s the matter now?" he watched her.

"You don't tell me anything anymore," she pouted, "I'm not feeling special."

He turned on the couch so he was facing her and grabbed her ankles, pulling her closer. She ended up straddling his legs. He kissed her.

"Nope," she got off his lap, shaking her hips as she walked away, "not gonna work."

He followed her, wrapping his arms around her waist and turning her around. "Listen… okay?"

Sadie nodded, "Sure, Baby."

"It's something that I don’t know if he wants me to tell anyone. I have to talk to him about it first, then I'll talk to you. I want to tell you, but I don't want to break his trust," Nick stated with a pleading look in his eyes.

She smiled at him, "Honey, I was teasing you… I'm sorry. I don't want you to think that I don't respect your and Aaron's relationship. I don't mind if you have to talk to him first. The only way I want to know is if he wants me to know or if you're upset about it. I'm sorry, Nicky… I was trying to get you to whine for me." She blushed, "It's so cute."

He smiled and leaned towards her ear. "Kiss me… please?" he whined softly on the word please.

She shuddered, "Mmm… Course, Baby…" She wrapped her arms around him, pushing her lips onto his. She moaned when she felt his tongue fighting its way into her mouth.

"UGH!" BJ said as she walked into the room, "Get a room!"

Nick smiled against Sadie's lips. He was starting to like having his brother and sister around. Even if they did interrupt when things were getting good.

Sadie blushed, "Sorry, Beej…" She looked up at her boyfriend, "Tonight. You. Me. And that room she was telling us to get. Got it?"

"Definitely," Nick said with a smirk and a kiss, "I love you."

"Love you too, Babe." She gave his lips one last peck and headed to the kitchen. "Talk to Aaron," she called, walking back into the room. She had car keys in hand, "I gotta go pick something up at Target."

"Something for me?" he grinned.

"Maybe," she laughed, "But do you need anything besides?"

He thought for a second before shaking his head, "Drive safely."

"Always." Sadie walked out, feeling Nick's eyes on her ass. She rolled her eyes and drove away.

***

Aaron walked in the door and shot Nick a dirty look before walking into the kitchen and hanging up the keys. He opened the fridge door and looked for something… anything.

Nick hesitantly followed his brother. "Hey AC… Fine looking woman you got yourself…" he joked, trying to ease the tension.

Aaron, finally deciding on a can of pop, slammed the door. He glared at Nick as he walked past him, grabbing a bag of chips and heading to his room.

Nick gave his brother a strange gaze, "Look, Aaron… I'm sorry. I overreacted. I was just trying to protect you. I know it was retarded of me. She's just a girl… a really sweet girl and I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. Just tell her what a dork I am."

"Nick, I… I didn't do anything tonight. She wanted to and I'll be damned if I didn't too… but we didn't. And it's cuz of you! So THANKS!" he spat sarcastically, turning to go up the stairs.

Nick's eyes widened, "What do you mean it's cuz of me?"

"All that was going through my head was. ‘You should have waited…’ I couldn't do anything!" Aaron said, slamming his bedroom door.

Nick smiled big and knocked on the door, "Aaron, open up and talk to me." When he got no answer he threatened, "You know, you can't keep me out. I made sure you didn't have a lock on your door for a reason."

Aaron got off his bed and opened the door before walking back in and throwing himself on her bed. He faintly smelled Jackie's perfume and sighed.

Nick sat beside him on the bed, feeling safe since he knew they hadn't done anything. "So ya didn't get any, huh?" Nick said sympathetically. Sure, he didn't want his younger brother having sex, but he knew how frustrating it was to be horny and not get what you need.

Aaron rolled so his back was to Nick.

He rolled his eyes, "Oh what is it, Aaron…?"

"Nothing. I'm… frustrated," Aaron sighed.

"How?" he asked, placing a hand on his brother's back and massaging gently. He felt so bad.

"I just am," Aaron sighed, "You know how her parents are. I finally get to see her and it's for what? An hour? I hate it…"

"You'll get to see her more, Man… You just got here. You can drive out there just about any time you want. Just tell me where you're going and stuff," he fidgeted in his seat, "And… ya know… If it’s okay with her parents, I wouldn't mind her spending the night or something… once in a while so you'd have more time. But… you'd have to sleep in the living room. No sleeping in your room."

"That bugs me too," Aaron said.

"What does?" Nick asked, not understanding.

"That you don't trust me… us," he answered.

Nick shook his head, "I trust you, Aaron. None of this has to do with trust."

"How does it not have to do with trust? You didn't even want us up here. I understand, ya know, you don’t think I should be having sex… or… whatever, but it's not like we do every time we're together. As I proved earlier… So tell me how it's not about trust?"

Nick stared at him, "It's not about trust. If it was… I would tell you and you know it. I told you I overreacted. I wasn't thinking straight because I was so overwhelmed with the new info you'd trusted ME with."

"You're my brother, my big brother, of course I would trust you with stuff like that. It's just that. I know how you feel about the sex thing and I wouldn't do anything in your house, neither of us would. That's why that comment bothered me," Aaron said.

"That you couldn't sleep in your room? Aaron, it's not that I think you'd have sex. I just like knowing that I could walk in at any time. It's that protective brother thing kicking in again," Nick paused, making sure Aaron was looking straight at him, "I trust you, Aaron. I trust that you wouldn't and won't do anything that I'm not comfortable with."

"I thought there was no lock on my door so you could walk in?" Aaron asked.

Nick smirked, "Yeah, but would you want me to? I want to respect your privacy, AC. I would never ever just bust in here unless I had a very good reason. Trust me… I know how it feels to feel invaded."

"I guess I understand," Aaron sighed, dropping it.

"Good," he ruffled his hair, "So… You still mad at me?"

"I guess not," Aaron chuckled.

Nick laughed back, "Okay then… and uh… AC… When you said that you couldn't DO anything… Do you mean that…?"

Aaron looked at him weird.

He threw up his hands, "Just asking! I could see it happening to an inexperienced fellow like you…"

"No… no, no, no, no, no! I could! I could have! But I didn't!"

Nick cocked an eyebrow, "You sure? I mean… I understand that you don't have a lot of stamina… If you'd done anything this morning, you might not…"

"NICK! I was ready!" Aaron yelled.

"I don't believe you," he stated.

Aaron slapped his forehead, "You wanna talk to Jackie?!" He picked up the phone by his bed.

"Nah… she'd lie for you. You probably even told her to not tell Nick…" he shook his head.

"Whatever, Nick. Get out of my room," Aaron said chuckling.

"It's okay, Aaron… Don't be embarrassed," Nick smiled.

"Nick, I was ready and able. Okay? Believe me or not. I'm a teenager. My hormones are wacky… Do you remember what it was like to be sixteen?" Aaron asked.

"Yep…" Nick replied, letting Aaron continue. He couldn't believe the little guy was falling for this! The guys used to do this to him all the time, "But… I don't know… You seem a lil abnormal. I want to make sure that everything's gonna work right for ya…"

"Everything works just FINE, Nick!" Aaron replied.

"Aaron, don't get upset… We can get it checked out. I'll call the doctor for you today," Nick soothed.

"Nick, leave the poor boy alone," BJ said, hearing the argument from her room. She stood in the doorway, "If he doesn't want to see a doctor, he shouldn't have to. But if he doesn't, he might go sterile, then he'll never have kids. But it should be his choice." She'd heard the entire argument from the beginning and put two and two together.

Nick motioned to BJ still looking at Aaron, "See? If you don't, then you may not be able to have KIDS! Now stop being a baby… I'll call today. It won't hurt THAT bad…" He loved his sister.

"THERE'S NOTHING WRONG!" he insisted.

"I know you're scared, but they don't stay up there TOO long…" he sighed, "BJ, help me out here? The poor thing…"

"Yeah, just… like… fifteen minutes," BJ assured him, stepping into the room.

"I'm not listening!" Aaron said over and over as he plugged his ears.

"It's only a test! It's not like the thing's really big!" Nick insisted, knowing Aaron could still hear him, "BJ, hand me the phone. I'll call right now and make an appointment for today. I think this needs immediate attention. You agree?"

"Yes! I want lots of nieces and nephews. Nick, you had the test right?" BJ asked, picking up the phone.

"What? Oh, me?" he asked, "No… I've never had THIS problem… but I know because Kevin had it done." At least that part was the truth. "It wasn't for the same reason as Aaron here, but the same tests were run…"

"So is that why Kevin talks so slow?" BJ whispered.

Nick laughed, "You would too… He was in so much pain for the days after… They stuck the thing straight up his-" He stopped and looked at Aaron, "Anyway… I'll make an appointment."

"NO!" Aaron said, reaching for the phone.

BJ stepped back and tossed it to Nick.

Nick quickly dialed AJ's number, knowing he'd know what was up.

"Hello?" AJ's voice rang through.

"Yes, hello. This is Nick Carter and I'd like to make an appointment for my little brother, Aaron." He pretended to be listening, "Yes today. Four o’clock. Great! Reason? Um… well… He's having trouble with…" He whispered something neither BJ nor Aaron could hear. "Yes, we want ALL tests done. Yes, that sounds great… thank you… bye."

BJ could barely hold in the laughter. Aaron snatched the phone from Nick's hands and hit redial.

"Hello?" AJ asked, still chuckling.

"Thought so," Aaron said and hung up.

Nick burst out cackling, wiping tears from his eyes. "Damn! I got you SO bad, Boy! SO BAD!" He walked over, receiving a high five from BJ, "And YOU were so cool, Sis!"

"I try," she shined her nails on her shirt, smiling at her little brother.

Aaron let out a Tarzan yell and tackled Nick. BJ jumped out of the way, laughing.

Nick yelped in surprise, fighting off the attack of his little brother. "Aaron, you were SO freaked!"

Aaron ended up sitting on Nick as Nick lay on his stomach on the floor. "I was NOT freaked," he denied pouting.

"Yeah, you were… When he said Kevin had it done, and THAT’S why he talked so slow… your face paled," BJ announced.

"Shut up, Beej! No one asked you!" Aaron yelled.

Nick nodded, turning over and throwing the boy off him with hardly any effort, "Whatever, Aaron."

They heard Sadie walking into the house. "Where is everyone?" she called.

"IN AARON'S ROOM!" BJ called to her.

"Everyone out!" Aaron responded, pointing to the door.

No one moved as Sadie walked in, "What's up, Kids?" She leaned way down and gave Nick a soft kiss, "Why are you on the floor?"

"Long story…" Nick smiled, looking at Aaron.

"I said EVERYONE OUT!" Aaron yelled, a little peeved.

They all looked away except Sadie who giggled, "What's up your ass?"

Nick and BJ burst out in laughter at her comment.

"My siblings!" Aaron exclaimed.

BJ sat down on the floor as her legs gave out. She was laughing so hard, "That’s not ALL that would have been up there if Nick had actually called the doctor!"

Aaron continued pouting.

Nick was now rolling around with tears in his eyes, "Now I get why the guys did this to me!”

Sadie's mouth dropped open, "What'd you do to your poor, baby brother, Nickolas?!"

"Nothing!" his laughter died down to a soft chuckle. He glanced at BJ and started laughing all over again.

"Sadie… make them leave!" Aaron begged.

She nodded going to where Aaron stood, "Sure Bud… BJ will be no problem, but Nicky on the other hand…"

BJ rolled her eyes and waving to everyone, went off to watch TV.

Sadie turned to her boyfriend, "I don't know what you did to him, but it wasn't nice… Out."

"He's my brother! It's my job to be mean!" Nick objected.

"Out," she demanded again, pointing to the exit. She knew he'd be difficult. It was in his nature.

"I don't wanna!" he said back, "I'm allowed to be in here!"

"It's his room," she warned.

"It’s my house!" he replied smirking.

"And I care?" she snapped, "Nicky…" Sadie walked over to him and bent down, "Get up and out… or not only do you not receive what I got you in town, but you won't be getting ANYTHING tonight. Understood?"

Nick looked at her skeptically until he saw the look in her eye. He hopped to his feet, "Later AC!"

Sadie flipped her hair cockily, "There ya go…" She strut out of the room knowing Nick would be somewhere. They should talk. "See ya," she said over her shoulder.

"Thanks Sadie!" Aaron called, flopping back on his bed.

Nick was standing just outside Aaron's room. When Sadie left, he picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder.

"Nick!" she yelped, "What're you doing?!"

He walked into their room and tossed her onto the bed. He hopped on top of her and kissed her.

“NICKY! What's gotten into you?!" she giggled.

"Nothing, I'm in a good mood. I… kinda… bonded again with BJ and Aaron…" he smiled.

"Oh… Good, Sweetheart," she pet his hair, "You carried me in here and jumped on top of me to tell me that though?"

He smiled and kissed her again. "Yeah, burning off some energy… You know what else would burn off energy?" he asked as his kisses moved to her neck.

She sighed and held him close, "What's that?"

"If I made love to you right now," he whispered huskily with a sparkle in his eye.

Sadie felt a tingle inside her as he said that and she suddenly couldn't breath, "But… Aaron and Beej are…"

"Not in here," he got off her, closing and locking their door before walking back to the bed.

She sat up, "You ARE in a good mood…"

He nodded and got on all fours on the bed, kissing her lips softly.

She gave her all into the kiss, falling back and pulling him on top of her, "Why does it feel like we haven't done this in a long time?"

"Because we haven't really…" Nick mumbled before kissing her again. His hands moved down her curves to her hips and back up, under her shirt.

She moaned and gasped as his fingers teased her skin, "Mmm… Nicky, I want you out of those clothes now."

"Funny… me too," he answered as he lifted her shirt over her head, then removing his own.

Her hands immediately went to his belt, "God… Should we take this fast or slow, Baby Boy?"

"Slow…" he moaned at the feeling of her hands on his pants.

"Okay," she whispered, licking at his neck as her hands found their way into his pants. She touched him through the material of his boxers.

He groaned taking her face in his hands. Laying her on her back, his body completely covered hers. He moved his kisses to her neck and unhooked her bra, tossing it to the floor. As his mouth moved to one breast, his hand moved to the other one, teasing the erect nipple.

"Oh fuck, Nicky… That feels so good," she tried to say softly not wanting the two siblings to hear, "Baby…"

"Hm…?" he asked as his kisses moved southward.

"You have to be… soft when you… cuz your voice carries like no one else’s," she whimpered, "Please do something…"

He smiled and softly blew on the wet skin as he undid her pants.

Sadie arched up, trying to push his lips back to her skin, "Nicky!"

He smiled and pulled her pants and panties down and off. He kissed back up her legs, enjoying the sweet torture almost as much as she was.

"NICK!" she screamed in frustration, "NICK, PLEASE!"

"Quiet Sadie, the kids might hear…" Nick whispered. His mouth hovering over her center, he knew his breath was driving her crazy by the look on her face.

"Nicky… shut up," she huffed, "Please, Baby… I'm begging… How often do I beg you?"

"I'm starting to like it," he said softly before moving his lips to her core. He gently licked against her slit.

"Oh…" she kicked and opened her legs. Her hands tangled in her lover's hair, angry that she couldn't bring him closer, "I don't like it… Not now…"

"What do you want, Baby? Tell me what you want…" he said.

She whined, "Nicky… I want you to… to… put your fingers in me… and I want you to taste me… I want you to make me cum with your mouth, Baby Boy."

"Your wish is my command," he smiled and licked up to her clit, which he gently sucked. He took a long finger and slid it into her gently.

"Oh my GOD!" she yelled, "Nick! Oh my fuck!" It felt amazing. Sadie felt his finger thrusting in and out as his lips caressed her sensitive nerve. She knew her orgasm wouldn't take long.

He traded spots. His finger went to her clit, and his tongue pushed into her. He loved the sounds she made.

"I'm… I'm… NICK!" she screamed, cumming. Her body twitched and jumped as Nick's hands kept her down. Finally she relaxed, closing her eyes.

He lapped up the remainders of her orgasm before kissing back up her body to her mouth. He kissed her passionately.

"Damn, Nick… You’re a GOD!" she exclaimed.

He chuckled, "I know."

She smiled and grabbed his cock through his partially opened pants, "Now… What do you want me to do?" She gave it a few pumps.

He groaned, "Suck me dry."

Sadie couldn't help, but tremble as he commanded her to blow him. His voice was so sexy, "There's nothing I'd like to do more…"

He kissed her, "What are you waiting for?"

"Sorry," she whispered and grinned, "I was overwhelmed for a second." Her hands pushed his pants down to his ankles and she stopped at his underwear.

He watched her. "Why do you keep stopping? I'm dying here," he whined.

"Why not?" Sadie teased, tickling his member with her fingertips, "You in a hurry to get these boxers off?"

He groaned. "Uh yeah…" he answered.

"Why?" she asked, taking his cock out over the waistband. She stroked it very lightly. Holding it with one hand from the underside, she ran her palm softly over the top.

His hips thrust forward almost involuntarily. "I stopped teasing you…" he protested as his head fell back into the pillow.

"What does that have to do with me?" she licked at his exposed nipple, nibbling on it lightly.

"Baby, please…" he begged, his breathing quickening.

She ignored him for the time being and bit down hard on the pebble, hearing his gasp and feeling his body spasm.

His body arched at the pain. "You're driving me crazy…" he muttered.

"I know…" she sighed, "And I love it… It's so sexy to see you this way." Her hand stopped working his dick, "You still haven't given me a reason why…"

"Why what?" he asked frustrated. He hated it when she was like this, but he loved when she was like this.

"Why should I put my mouth on that thing of yours?" she asked, moving away and looking at him seductively.

"Because you know you love it," he answered with a smirk.

Sadie looked at him and smiled. "I love you," she motioned for him to come where she was lying, "I'll do it… But only if you'll tell me what it is I'm supposed to do just… one more time."

He groaned, "I said… suck me dry…"

Sadie bit her lip as she moved down his body. She stopped right above his crotch and without giving him any warning, she sucked just the first few inches into her mouth.

He let out a loud moan, his hips bucking upwards, his hands moving into her hair, "Fuck Sadie…"

She giggled as she heard commotion coming from out in the hallway. She ignored it knowing Nick needed this. Knowing that he'd worry when he heard it, she deep throated him immediately, slowly letting him slip down.

"Come on, Sadie…" he moaned. His hips rose and his head pushed back into the pillow, thrashing back and forth. "I'm… almost… there…" he panted through clenched teeth.

Sadie sucked harder, moaning to make him feel the vibrations. She played with his balls, lightly rolling them in her hands. She knew he wouldn't take long after all that torture she'd put him through. She looked up, locking eyes with her boyfriend.

"Sadie… I'm… oh…" Nick murmured as he finally came deep in her throat, gasping for air.

She let him gently slide from her mouth. "You okay, Baby?" she asked softly, trying to ease her throat. He looked… deep in thought.

"Huh?" he asked softly, pulling her to him, "Yeah… I’m fine…"

She knew better than to push him, "Okay… You'll talk if you need to?"

"Yeah," he sighed.

She smiled and kissed him, climbing on top. Just as she reached down to caress him again they heard, "Nick? If you guys are done fucking around, could you come out here?" It was BJ's voice.

Nick sighed and placed his hands on Sadie's hips. "What do you need?" he called to her gently.

"Get off your ass and come see!"

Nick groaned and moved Sadie off him. He threw his boxers on and went to the door. "What?" he asked as he opened it.

Sadie yelped as Nick threw open the door, "NICK! I'M STILL NAKED HERE!"

"There's a blanket," he called, stepping out and shutting it behind him.

Sadie sighed, Nick was getting crabby. Perfect. Nick was a bitch to deal with when in a bad mood. Damn kids…

BJ smiled at her big brother, "Have fun, Nicky?"

"I was. What ya want?" he asked.

She motioned for him to follow, "Downstairs."

He groaned… and followed

"Oh shut up… It wasn't me who wanted to disturb you. Talk to Aaron… he wanted to tape record you guys," she laughed.

Walking downstairs, he was presented with Julia and Alex standing in the living room. Rory was in AJ's arms.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Nick asked them, standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Julia stepped forward, "Um… Where's Sadie?" She hadn't even bothered to greet Nick, "Oh, sorry… Hey Nicky… Where's Sadie?"

Nick sighed, "She's upstairs…"

"Why's she up there? It's not even eleven…" she questioned.

BJ and Aaron snickered.

Nick looked down at what he was wearing, which was only his boxers and looked back at Julia.

AJ laughed softly.

Julia's eyes widened, "Ohhh…" She turned to her husband, "Maybe this isn't such a good idea tonight…"

"Nick… can I talk to you man to man?" AJ asked.

Nick rolled his eyes, "Goddamn it… Do you know how long it's been since I've gotten-" he glanced at his siblings, "This had better be good, McLean."

AJ smiled and handed Rory to Aaron. They walked into the kitchen, "Okay, hear me out…"

Nick glared at him, "Start talking."

"I accused Julia of cheating on me with you, and as my way of making it better I wanted to take her out tonight. Sadie offered to baby-sit for us when we were in Cali, so we wanted to take her up on that. I'm sure BJ and Aaron will keep their eye of her if you want to go get some and she sleeps through the night… Be a friend?" AJ asked.

Nick's expression changed and he tried to keep calm. "You accused her of cheating… with me?" he asked softly.

"Yeah…" AJ said looking down wondering if maybe he shouldn't have said that part, "I know you wouldn't and I know she wouldn't but… I was jealous…"

He shifted his weight, "Jealous… Hmm… well. Let's get this straight. You want me and my girlfriend to baby-sit your kid because you accused your wife of cheating on you with me, her ex boyfriend, and have to make it up to her?"

AJ sighed, "Yep, that’s the jist of it."

Nick shook his head, "Damn McLean… You'd better be thankful that I understand…"

"I really screwed up, Nick," AJ said softly.

"It's okay, Man," Nick smiled weakly, "She loves you. I'm sure she understands and if she don't, then she understands that you didn't mean it. Go. Have fun. Eat. Be jolly. Make love. At least one of us will…"

"Like I said, Aurora sleeps through the night… soundly… and I'm sure your loving siblings will keep an eye on her," he smirked, "Thank you, Nick."

Nick waved him off, "You owe me…" Where did his good mood go?

AJ slapped his back as they walked back into the other room. "Rory baby, come say goodbye to Mommy and Daddy…" AJ said with a smile towards Julia.

Julia sighed with relief as her little girl ran to her father. "Thank you, Nick," she smiled, "This means a lot to us…"

"Uh huh…" he mumbled.

She looked at her husband, slightly confused, but shrugged it off.

AJ kissed his baby and held her as he stood so Julia could say goodbye too.

Julia kissed Aurora, telling her to be good for Uncle Nicky. Then set her down. "She should be falling asleep soon. She's had a long day," Julia paused, "We'll come get her in the morning and… she eats most things… so that'll be easy…"

"Julia," Nick rubbed his forehead, "I know how to take care of children."

She looked hurt, but nodded, "Okay…"

"Come on, Jule," AJ said softly, taking her hand, and leading her out of the house.

Nick let the breath out of his lungs. "Okay…" he picked the little girl up, "What ya wanna do, Hun? Play with Aaron and BJ?"

BJ frowned at him, but Nick ignored her.

Aurora yawned, but nodded eagerly.

"Oh good…"

Aaron had watched the interaction between everyone and walked up to Nick. "Come on, Rory. Let's go play!" Aaron said, reaching to take her from Nick.

"Nicky kiss," Aurora stated, puckering her lips.

Nick couldn't help but laugh. He loved this little girl. Giving her a kiss on her small lips, he handed her to his brother. "Thanks Aaron," he smiled tiredly.

Aaron nodded and planned to take her up to his room where he had some games they could play. "Go back to Sadie. I got her," he replied as he walked into his room and shut the door.

BJ sat back down on the couch and pressed play on the VCR to continue watching her movie.

Nick swallowed and made his way back into his room. Sadie was lying on the bed reading a magazine and singing softly with the radio.

Sadie looked up, "Hey… What was up?" She was still nude, but had the blanket wrapped around her now.

"AJ and Julia just dropped off Rory," Nick said softly as he sat back down on his side of the bed.

"Why?" she asked, scooting closer to him.

"You offered to baby-sit and they needed a babysitter at the last minute," he stated matter-of-factly as he laid down and put his hands behind his head.

"Oh…" she nodded, "Yeah… I did tell them that. Julia told me her and AJ needed some time together so I offered. I'm sorry if you didn't want to. You don't have to take care of her… I will. You want me to go get her from… well… I'm guessing BJ and Aaron?"

"Aaron's got her," Nick answered, "She'll be fine."

"Okay," she replied softly. Something was wrong. Nick was being short. Putting her magazine down, she leaned over and started kissing his chest, "You all right, Baby?"

He nodded. "Yep," he sighed.

"You sure?" she tickled his stomach.

"Sadie…" he huffed, "Stop."

Sadie looked up him, "I'm sorry." She knew he didn't like to be tickled. She kissed his nipple, taking it between her lips. Her hand traveled to between his legs.

"Sadie… I said stop," he sat back up, her lips falling from him.

"Stop?" she questioned, "I did…"

"Stop. Just stop everything," he swung his legs off the end of the bed and stood, walking to the bathroom.

Sadie stared after him. Throwing on a t-shirt and boxers, she got up to follow, "Nick? Nicky, what's wrong? Baby, come out and talk to me…" She tried the door, finding it locked, "What happened?"

Nick looked at himself in the mirror. "I'm not getting any younger," he said more to himself than anyone else.

Sadie heard that, "What do you mean?"

The door opened violently, "What part was hard to understand?"

She stumbled back, falling onto the carpet, "I… I just didn't understand what it had to do with anything… I just…" She stood up, dusting herself off.

"That's just it, Sadie, you don't understand." He turned, looking out the picture window.

Sadie felt tears in her eyes and she spoke softly, "I want to understand. I want to know, Honey." She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

Nick turned around and put his arms around her. "Marry me," he almost demanded.

Sadie whimpered. Why couldn't she just say yes? She knew tears were falling from her eyes, knowing she'd have to break his heart another time. "Nicky…" she whispered.

He dropped the embrace and turned to look back out the window. "Why?" he choked out.

"I don't… Nicky… I'm so sorry, I just can't. It's not that I don't want to eventually, but we're so young…" she placed a hand on his arm, "Why is this so important to you? I need to understand… Make you feel better…"

"I'm not getting any younger," Nick repeated.

"Yes, but you're not old, Honey… You're only twenty-four," her lip trembled.

"Yeah… You know Sadie, I wanted to be married already. By the time I was twenty-three, I wanted to be married," Nick stated with tears in his eyes.

"You never told me that… You really don't tell anything you don't have to, do you? You don't share your thoughts… Your problems…"

"I didn't think I'd have to," Nick answered after a few minutes.

"Nicky," Sadie felt so helpless. She pressed a kiss to his back and attempted to hug him.

"Stop trying to make me feel better," he stepped away from her.

Her tears flowed again, "What else am I supposed to do?"

"Say yes," he begged.

Sadie shook her head, "No, Nick. My answer is no."

He shrugged and turned, walking to the bed.

"DON'T DO THIS!" she begged, "Please…"

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!" he yelled.

Sadie jumped and looked at Nick. She sat down, "All I ever wanted from you… was you."

"Then why do you insist on breaking my heart?" he asked as tears spilled from his eyes, rolling down his cheeks.

"Nick," she cried, "Please… It's okay, Baby Boy…" She walked hesitantly to the bed, sitting on the corner. She didn't dare try to touch him.

"How can you say it's okay?" he asked softly, picking at his nails.

She looked away, "I… I don't know."

"I… I don't know what you want me to say. It… it kills me when you say no, but I don't want you to say yes because of me. That’s why I never told you about wanting to be married by this age," Nick replied.

"Nicky… I love you. You know that. I tell you ALL the time, every chance I get!" she exclaimed.

"So marry me!" Nick responded just as loud.

"NO!" she screamed. She gasped covered her mouth, her eyes wide.

"I don't understand, Sadie," Nick sighed, "I really don't." He stood, throwing his pants on.

Sadie grabbed his arms, "NO! Don't you run out! Nick, don't, please! I'm begging you!"

He twisted from her grasp. "I need to think," he told her, "I think well when I drive."

"Nick…" she started crying, "Please, Baby… I love you so much…" She couldn't let him go as she threw her arms around his waist.

"That's what I don't understand. That's what kills me, Sadie. I love you… more than anything… ever and you say you love me." He stopped and stared down at her. "Marry me?" he asked again.

She held him tighter. ‘Yes’ was on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't force it from her mouth. "No," came out very easily. She hugged him fiercely.

His heart shattered. "I'm going for a drive. I'll be back," he choked, pushing her arms from his waist.

She nodded and brushed past him out the door of their bedroom.

Nick threw a shirt on and grabbed his jacket. He knocked on Aaron's door.

"Yeah?" Aaron called softly, looking at the sleeping girl on his bed, "Come in."

Nick opened the door, "Hey, um, I'm going for a drive. I'll be back… in awhile… keep an eye on her, okay?"

"Sure…" he nodded, "What's wrong, Nick?" He'd noticed the puffiness of Nick's eyes.

Nick just shook his head. "Nothing new," he mumbled, "I'm gonna go. Any emergencies, I have my cell." Nick turned to leave.

"Bro," he spoke up, "You know that… if you need to talk…"

"I know," Nick said and smiled at his younger brother. "I know and thanks," he told him, leaving and shutting the door behind him.

Sadie sat at the kitchen table, sobbing to herself as she sipped her ice tea. There was nothing she could do to fix this. She heard Nick trampling down the stairs and cried harder.

Nick stopped in the kitchen to grab the keys to his truck. He saw Sadie sitting there crying. He sighed.

She turned away from him in her chair, not saying anything.

"I'll be back," he snatched the keys and walked out of the house, slamming the door shut behind him.

"Sure," she whispered after he had gone. Slowly, she got up and walked to the couch in the living room. BJ was in the family room, so she couldn't go there. Pulling the blanket up over her, she fell asleep.
