Summary: So almost a week has passed since I've last updated and I didn't want you all to get worried so I decided to post today. Hope you don't mind. Of course you don't because you all love me or maybe it's just my writing. Either way I'm happy to bring you the next chapter of this story. I would like to thank everyone for the reviews because as we all know comments are always nice. Anyways until next time.

Disclamier: I don't own Psych but I can't wait for it to come back in January.

Chapter 2

"He's your ex," Shawn shrieked as soon as the two of them were alone together in an empty interrogation room. "You have an ex."

"Yes Shawn I have an ex," Carlton sighed guiltily, sliding down in the chair. "It's not that big of a deal."

"It is a big deal, you have an ex-boyfriend."

"So do you."

"That doesn't count because I've told you about all of my relationships, you on the other hand said nothing about having an ex-boyfriend."

"You never asked."

Shawn gasped as he stopped in this tracks. "I never asked. I believe before I let you shove little Lassiter up my ass I asked you if you've ever done this before and your answer was no."

"And that was the truth, you were the first man I've ever been with in that way," Carlton admitted truthfully. "Joseph and I dated for about a month and a half and then we broke up. I regret ever being with him."

"If I ask why are you going to give me an honest answer or are you going to stretch the truth again?"

Carlton squirmed in his chair as he shifted his eyes across the room. Just the memory alone was enough to make him edgy. "It doesn't matter Shawn."

Shawn instantly noticed the movement made by Carlton and dropped to his side "Did he hurt you?" Shawn asked worried, "Did he do something to you?"

"Not in that way Shawn if that's what you're thinking. He just cheated on me that's all, nothing more."

"He cheated on you, why?"

"Because I wasn't exciting enough for him," Carlton shrugged, standing up and running his fingers through his hair. "And I guess he was right, I wasn't that exciting back then, I'm still not exciting."

Shawn walked up to Carlton and grabbed him shoulders to pull him into a passionate kiss. "Are you kidding me," he whispered and grinned when the two pulled apart. "Of course you're exciting, you're a cop for Christ sakes. You catch bad guys for a living, you get to carry a gun, and did I mention how hot you look when you're in interrogation mode. How you just get those criminals to confess with the raise of your eyebrow gets me hot all over, you have no idea."

Carlton couldn't help but smile as Shawn's arms snaked around his. "Really."

"Oh yeah. Just thinking about it makes me want to mount you like a lion," Shawn smiled again, pulling Carlton into another kiss. The heated kiss soon lead to Shawn's hands roaming down to Carlton's hips and to the buckle of his pants.

"Shawn we can't do this-"

"Why not,"

"Because," Carlton hissed as Shawn unzipped his pants and let them fall freely to the ground. "We're in the police station."

The warning seemed to fall on deaf ears as Shawn continued his movements, slipping his hand underneath Lassiter's boxers. Dropping to his knees, he wrapped his hand around Carlton's hard member. "So we'll be quick," he winked, slowly stroking his boyfriend.

"Shawn-"

"Lassie, I'm doing this. Just sit back and enjoy the ride."

Carlton opened his mouth to respond but quickly lost all thought as Shawn's mouth wrapped around his hard member. He realized that Shawn wasn't going to take no for an answer so he remained quiet as Shawn continued what he was doing.

Twenty minutes later, sticky and messy, the couple retreated from the interrogation room with smiles across their faces. Shawn ran his fingers through his unruly hair while Carlton made sure his shirt was tucked back into his pants.

"We shouldn't have done that Shawn," Carlton frowned as he closed the door.

"I know but it was so worth it."

"Somebody could have seen us."

"But nobody did," Shawn smiled in response. "Would you just relax and bask in the glow of our afternoon lovemaking. It at least deserves that much."

"Shawn-"

"Carly calm down," Shawn smirked, grabbing Carlton's hand with his hand. "If it makes you feel any better I promise we won't ever have sex in the police station again."

"Never-"

"Never ever ever in you long legged life will we ever have sex anywhere near this police station again."

"Well, we don't have to go that far."

"It's okay with me if this is what you want, I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do."

Carlton pulled his hand out of Shawn's and pulled the young man closer. "Thank you Shawn,"

"For what?"

"For just being you."

"Why Lassie-face, are you going soft on me?"

"In your dreams Spencer,"

"Why dream when you have the real thing?"

Carlton laughed and pushed Shawn away from him. His laughter became louder when Shawn pretended to be hurt by the push before he too began laughing. Suddenly the sound of his phone ringing caused the both of them to become quiet as Shawn answered his phone. "What's up Gus…You're what…Okay Gus, I'll be there as soon as I can." Shawn replied, closing his phone. "That was Gus."

"I figured."

"Anyways, he needs my help with something, he couldn't say what over the phone."

"Then go, go help Guster out and I'll see you at my place tonight."

"Thank you," Shawn smiled as he kissed Carlton on the cheek after checking to make sure no one was around. He continued to smile as he walked away stopping momentarily to turn around and look back at Carlton, "Carlton," he called out to the head detective.

"Yeah Spencer."

"Don't let that jerk get to you, you do know that you're much better off right."

"I do."

"Of course you do, you have me right."

"Yeah I do."

Shawn smiled as he ran down the hall and Carlton made his way back to his desk. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Joey was no longer in the station. Sitting down at his desk he decided to finish the paperwork he hadn't done.

A few hours passed and Carlton was ready to call it a day. It was close to five o'clock and with no emergencies or paperwork Carlton decided to go home for the evening. Throwing a quick nod in Juliet's direction, he slipped on his jacket, grabbed his keys, and made his way out of the door. He wasn't to far out of the building when he noticed that Joey was standing next to car.

"I thought you left," Carlton replied as he got closer to his car.

"I sat at your desk waiting for you but you were gone so long I had to go back to the convention and give a presentation."

"Were you any good?"

"I can't say if I was good or not because that's up to the people who were listening but I do believe I rocked."

"Same old Joey."

"No, old Joey would have never focused so much attention on people that were beneath him, Dr. Sutton takes out time to listen to people who are in dire need of help." Joey smiled, leaning against the car. "I'm not the man you knew Carl."

"I can see that, the man I knew were never be caught in a Honda."

"It's a very reliable car and I've learned that fancy items don't make you happy."

A moment of silence passed between the two before Carlton spoke again. "Well Joseph, it was nice seeing you again. Hope you have a nice time in town."

Before Carlton had a chance to open his door, Joseph reached out and grabbed Carlton's arm stopping him. "Carlton wait."

"I really have some place to be-"

"I will only take a few minutes of your time, I promise. Please stay," Joseph pleaded, still holding on to Carlton's arm.

Just the touch alone made his knees weak as his mind wandered back to the days they were together. Before the incident Joey was the one person he could rely on not to hurt him, his best friend, and seeing him again brought those memories back. The memories alone were enough to make Carlton stop moving. "Fine," he sneered, snatching his arm away. "Five minutes and then I'm leaving."

"Thank-you. Look, I just want to say I'm sorry for what I did all those years ago. I was young and I was stupid and I didn't know what I would be losing when I did what I did," Joey explained, "For all of that I'm sorry, you have to believe me."

"Actually I don't"

"But you can, I know you can see that I've changed and that my apology is sincere. I'm not saying you have to forgive me today but if you could think about it, I would really appreciate it."

He let out a breath and gave Joseph his full attention. Slowly he came to realize that the past was the past and it was time for him to let it go, he owed himself that. "I think I can do that it's…it's going to take some time."

"I'm not going to rush you into forgiving me, I want you to do it on your own accord."

"Thank-you."

"You're welcome," Joseph smiled as he let go of Carlton's hand. "I was wondering if you would like to go out to dinner tonight, you know, catch up while I'm in town."

"I can't."

"Oh," Joey whispered as his eyes fell towards the ground. "I see."

"No Joey you don't. I can't go out with you because I'm seeing someone."

"Really who."

"Shawn."

"Shawn, you mean the psychic detective that works for you."

"Yes."

"Wow, I did not see that coming."

"That's because you aren't psychic."

"And you think Shawn is."

"No, but he does his job well so I'm not going to complain about it," Carlton smiled at the thought of Shawn and made his way inside the car.

Joseph realized that he was losing Carlton and knew he had to do something fast so before the detective had a chance to leave. He grabbed the door before Carlton had a chance to close it and shoved his head inside. "Bring him along," he said quickly.

"I'm sorry what."

"Bring Shawn along," Joey said again. "Yeah, you, me, and Shawn sounds like a good time."

"I don't know-"

"Come on Carl, what do you have to lose."

"My sanity," Carlton frowned, turning the ignition.

"It will be fun and it will also be my treat."

"Still the big spender I see."

"It's worth it to spend time with an old friend."

Carlton sighed but nodded his head yes. Joseph smiled and handed Carlton a business card with his number on it before he removed himself away from the door so Carlton could close it. Moving out of the way, he watched the head detective drive off into the distance before he walked back to his own vehicle

Dinner with Shawn and an ex. This can't be good for the couple at all. I guess you'll just have to wait and find out what happens next. I'll do my best to update soon I promise. Peace
