Rating: M (For gay romance/sex)

Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Adventures, of course. But I'm writing about the producers. Hm, that's odd, now that I think about it…

Author's Note: This chapter is a follow up to 'I Told You So'. Anyway, anything unfamiliar is of my own creation, though I will be referencing incidents from the show. Im going to try and keep this from turning into another 'Bound' type smut-fest, but no promises. And for all intents and purposes, Nick is not married. I don't think he'd cheat on his wife, and I'd hate to be the one to write it. Many thanks.

Summary: After what happened in that godforsaken basement, things had been different. And in the best way.

They didn't get far that first night. Both Nick and Zak fell asleep to their soft caresses and whispered words. Aaron returned to find the pair in bed. He didn't wake them, only standing in the doorway for a while. "Poor guys," he said aloud to himself, "after what happened, those have got to be some messed up dreams." he checked his watch. "Ah, let 'em have it. I'll get my own." Though as he made his way back to the lobby, he knew it was more than nightmares that had drawn them together. There was attraction in it. So long as his friends were happy, he didn't give a damn. The producers on the other hand… Aaron laughed aloud. He decided not to mention it.

The next morning, Nick woke in an extremely pleasant situation. He was tucked close to Zak's chest, his forehead pressed to the curve of his throat. Early as it was he could savor the smell of Zak's body wash. He leaned in and kissed the soft skin exposed to his lips. Zak sighed a long deep breath that hitched as Nick took his mouth. The kiss was short, but very sweet. "I appreciate the kisses, but you can't just suck all my air out like that without warning." Zak laughed. They shared another soft kiss. "Morning to you too, " Nick sighed as he began kissing down Zak's neck, pausing to suck lightly at the curve of his neck and shoulder. Zak moaned softly, "that too." Heat suddenly flooding though his body. Nick quickly found himself pressing close to Zak in new and interesting ways. "H-hey, Nick," Zak breathed, "Y-you wanna take this a little further?" "You want me to suck you off?" Nick asked bluntly. Nick could have sworn Zak blushed. "N-no! That seems… unfair." He did color this time, "let me…" He slipped a hand below the covers, cupping Nick's morning erection firmly though his jogging bottoms. Nick's breath let out suddenly, a moan spilling from his lips. "Good?" Zak smiled wickedly. "Yes." Nick's words were barely a gasp of breath. Zak pushed his smaller lover onto his back working his sleeping pants down his slender legs. The spiky haired man barely hesitated in kissing down his best friend's stomach, pausing to glance up at him before closing his mouth over the head of his erection. In no time Nick was writhing. "I don't see how this is- ah! Fair… either…." Zak looked up at him, grinning. He sat up, tugging Nick up with him, to straddle his hips. "Zak, no-" he started to protest, but Zak silenced him, wrapping a hand around their erections. The hapless Nick could only shudder and lean into Zak, whimpering his pleasure. Zak panted with a wicked grin, "you look so good, that expression…" Nick couldn't even consider protest; he only cupped Zak's face and rocked his hips a little harder. "Fuck, please- I-" his speech stuttered to a halt. "No, no, keep talking, say my name, please Nick." The powerful man breathed against his lover's ear. "Zak," Nick breathed, "please… more… please, Zak." Zak tightened his fist slightly, rocking Nick closer. He took his new lover's mouth hotly, savoring his openmouthed groan. Nick's entire body tensed, tightening suddenly. "Zak," he cried, "Zak!" the dark haired man kissed him roughly, coming with him, fast and hard.

Nick slumped weakly into his friend. Zak continued kissing him softly, feathering over his face and throat. "You alright?" he asked after a few moments of slowly cooling silence. Nick groaned softly, accepting a wet kiss. "More than alright." He nuzzled against Zak's shoulder. "Can we stay here, right here, for like, ever?" Zak laughed. "'fraid not. We've got a meeting in a few hours and some prep for the next lockdown." he said, pushing Nick gently. "Can we… Can we take a long hot shower, then take our time getting ready, so as to have lots and lots of time alone together?" Zak laughed again, louder, and it was followed with a kiss. "I like the sound of that."

A/N: Sorry it's so short. And cheesy. Oh and for those of you angsting over Zak's new show and the possible loss of our beloved Ghost Adventures, the fanfiction will continue in spite of all that, Nick will be there in spirit. (Hehe, ghost pun.) I'm not one to let reality ruin my fantasy. (If you can't tell.) Reviews welcome.
