Brian’s POV
Jack had wanted me in her room, in her bed, but I wasn’t stupid. This time I kept all my clothes on and I would not let my lust get the best of me. Jacky had laid herself close to my body and relaxed, within minutes I heard her even breathing and I found her asleep in my arms. I couldn’t really find my sleep, I was too worked up, about the whole break in, about having her with me. I was never this confused, but she sure made me feel all those new things I wasn’t sure I liked to feel.

After a few hours I felt Jacky stir beside me, I must have dosed off for a bit, because the clock said it was already 2 in the afternoon.
“No… No… Stay out… “ Jacky murmured while she started to move around in the bed, shit, she must be dreaming.
“No… Please… Brian” I got a hold of her and softly stroked her cheek
“Jacky, wake up sweetie, you are dreaming” My soft touch slowly woke her up
“Brian… I was… Please hold me” She always acted like such a tough woman, and most of the time she was, but now… she was shivering and she had fear in her eyes. I pulled her to my body and she let her head rest on my chest
“It’s okay, you are safe now, I promise” I said to her softly while I stroked her hair. For a moment I thought she went back to sleep, but then she started talking softly
“I was so scared something would happen to you and then I would have been all alone and helpless against that man” Her fingers were plucking on some invisible fluff on my shirt. I put my hand over hers to stop her from fidgeting and then put my finger under her chin, forcing her to look up at me
“It’s my job. I protect people all the time and Zack was on his way, you would have been fine. Nothing happened, I’m not hurt and you are safe, there is nothing more I could wish for”
Her eyes were watering and for a moment we just stared into each other’s eyes, the world disappearing, leaving only us, here in this room. We were only inches apart and I could kiss her so easily if I wanted to.
The moment that thought crossed my mind, Jacky bend forward and let her lips barely touch mine. Just a hint of a feeling.
I put my arms around her and pulled her on top of me and kissed her with a little more pressure, no want, no lust, no rush. We were slowly kissing, only sucking on lips, licking on mouths. Then she opened her mouth a little and I couldn’t let that moment pass, I let my tongue slip in. Our sensual dance was slow and sweet, but we both were putting more and more into the kisses and I knew it wouldn’t be long before this wouldn’t be a sweet make out anymore. It would be better to push her away, stop what we were doing, but I couldn’t. I just… I didn’t know how. This felt really close to heaven for me.

My little interpretation of heaven was interrupted when I heard footsteps outside of the door. I softly moved away from Jacky, both of us out of breath.
“We need to stop. I… I… really shouldn’t be doing this” I stuttered. Jacky leaned back and let out a yawn.
“It’s okay, I’m really tired, I need to sleep anyway” She turned around and put her back to my body, within seconds she was asleep. How could she sleep? How could she not be as hyperactive as I was? Energized by what we were doing just now?
Again I heard footsteps, everyone was probably already back to business and it wouldn’t be long until they would check up on us, or on me at least. I would be in trouble if Zack found me in Jacky’s room again. I know he didn’t believe me when I said nothing happened before the break in, damn him being my best friend.
I quietly got of the bed, and sneaked out of the room, after I checked the hallway at both sides, no one there. I quickly rushed over to my room a few doors ahead and slipped in, closing it behind me. I leaned against the door and sighed. I was alone again and I didn’t like it one bit. Luckily for me I made it out of Jacky’s room without anyone noticing me.

“You really think you would get away with that? How old do you think you are? 17?” Zack’s taunting voice got me out of my thoughts. I saw him leaning against my bathroom door post, his arms crossed over his chest. His tone was amused, but his face said something completely different.

….Fuck….

Matt’s POV
We had been at this for hours. I didn’t understand why women needed so much time to shop. I would just go to my favorite shop 4 times a year, buy a whole new wardrobe and I would be done with it. These girls went from store to store and it didn’t seem they wanted to quit any time soon.
At first I told them I would check out every store before they went in, but Joe quickly made clear to me that she didn’t really appreciate that treatment and to be honest, the first 10 stores had been clear and the 10 after that too, so I changed the approach.
I just stayed real close, making sure I could keep an eye on them. I knew that if those criminals wanted something with these girls, they would want to take them, killing them wouldn’t give them any kind of leverage on Joseph. So my main purpose this afternoon would be to make sure they didn’t get a chance to take Joe.

After an hour Joe had handed me her bags to hold when she went into the fitting rooms to try something on “Here, hold this while I fit this dress, make yourself useful”
Before I knew it, I was carrying all the bags and not only when they were fitting something, but all the time.
“Hey Matt, hold this one too, please” Joe handed me another bag. She had a smug look on her face and looked awfully pleased with herself. She tiptoed a little and leaned in, as Olivia already headed into the store “Still think it was a good idea to come with us on a shopping spree?” she whispered into my ear with a sweet voice. I gave her a groan in reply and watched her walk into the little shop, that body turned me on and frustrated me at the same time.

Next to me stood another man, a little older than me, his feet were buried in bags too and he looked at me with a sympathetic look.
“Your wife on a shopping spree too? Seems like we have the same problems man… The things we do for love”
“She is… “ I wanted to explain she wasn’t my wife, but it just seemed too much of a hassle to explain the situation to the stranger “Yeah… she is having the time of her life” I smiled back at the man.
The man’s wife came out shortly after that and Joe and Liv followed only minutes later. Olivia had an apologetic look on her face, while Joe was just enjoying the sight of me, carrying all their bags.
“Only one more shop, then we have to get ready for my date” Liv said excusing herself.
That little sentence made me smile, I would get back at Joe for all of this.
“Ah well, Joe, so it’s just you and me tonight, you are dressing up for me, aren’t you? Wouldn’t be right if you didn’t, seeing it’s our first real date”
“WHAT?” Joe snapped her head at me
“You, me and a bottle of wine… We might even enjoy ourselves, god forbid” I smirked and walked passed them to the store they wanted to go to, and that smile on my face just wouldn’t fade away. I would definitely have fun tonight.

Jacky‘s POV
I woke up in a strange bed, missing the feel of having someone beside me.
Okay fine, someone wasn’t completely right.
Of the one that had been holding me before, soothed my fears, kissed me way too sweet and sensual just a couple of hours ago.
Why was he confusing me that much?
One moment he was a complete cocky bastard and the next moment he was the sweet man holding me.
Why was it so hard for me to figure him out?

I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, maybe a nice shower would get my head back straight.
When I was finished I got some fresh clothes from the bag I packed and left my newly assigned room.
I didn’t really know where to go to since I hadn’t had my tour around the house yet, but I was excited to see everything.
It looked huge and I bet there was a lot to be seen, I smiled at the thought.
I stopped in the living room seeing Johnny sitting on the couch, looking up when I came nearer.
“Hey, could catch up on some sleep?” He asked with a smile and I nodded.
“Yes, was nice to get some more rest.”
“Let me call Brian or Zack, one of them can show you around the house, so you know where to go and where to find us.” Johnny got up grabbed his phone from the table and talked to either Brian or Zack.
When he hung up he smiled at me “He will be here in a minute.”

I heard footsteps behind me and when I turned I saw Brian approaching. He also had fresh clothes on and he smiled seeing me. “You feeling better?” He asked
“Yes, thank you.”
“Come on, I will show you around.” He grabbed my elbow, he did that a lot, making small contact, but not being too obvious about it.
He walked me around the living room to the huge kitchen telling me I could use everything and that there was a list on the counter for everyone to write done what was needed and has to be bought.
I took everything in and Brian even joked a little about me being the cook since I would be the only woman in the house.
“I don’t think so.” I grinned at him. “But I could think of many other things that could be done here…” I smirked and Brian licked his lips as if he was able to read my mind and picture a lot of sexy things we could be doing right here. Then he shook his head and continued his way

We went further and he showed me a more rooms, Matt’s office and the rooms where the guys had their own space, he didn’t let me in, just showed me which door belonged to whom, when we arrived at his I noticed right away, that it was the closest to mine, which made me smile.
We actually had a lot of fun during this tour and he acted differently towards me, which was really good and made me feel some kind of at home.
“Will you let me into your room?” I asked him with a smile and he seemed to think about it for a moment.
“Just a quick look.” He opened his door and I stepped inside before he could stop me. I looked around and saw the huge bed, with the dark sheets, some pictures of his family and his friends.
I opened another door leading into a closet with clothes, nearly everything black.
I smiled “You got a walk in closet? For real?” I turned and wanted to mock him but he stood so close behind me that I actually bumped into him and the look on his face was telling me something completely different was on his mind and with that look the thought of even making the littlest fun of him left my mind immediately.
I could already picture him, picking me up and leaning us against the wall, me burying my hands in his hair, while he-

“Brian?” Zack’s voice interrupted the moment again.
“What?” Brian snapped, not taking his eyes off me.
“I need your assistance. I got Arin here to end the tour of the house with Jacky.” I finally took my eyes off Brian and saw how Zack shoved Arin into Brian’s room.
He smiled at me and I clapped in my hands “Come on Arin, show me what you got!” I grinned and Arin actually became a little red which made him even more adorable, I knew this guy would fit perfectly to me.
I hooked my arm into Arin’s and he grinned “I think you saw most of the house, but let me show you the gym and-” Arin said but I threw one last glance towards Zack and Brian before leaving the room.
“Since when are you letting women in your room? You never do that!” Zack asked Brian sounding not really amused.

I didn´t wait for Brian’s reply, because I was already starting the rest of the tour with my new guide.
