A/N: Longest chapter people! I hope you enjoy this one. This chapter definitely sparks up a bunch of drama in the later chapters.

Chapter Five: Guilty Pleasures

Nate woke up with an arm around his stomach and a girl snuggling with him. His arm was around her, holding her tightly…and naked. Nate widened his eyes and stood straight up. He looked around at his surroundings. Alex Russo's room. Nate silently groaned as he looked at the clock at the bed stand. 12:57 am. His curfew was an hour and fifty-seven minutes ago.

O fuck! Nate yelled in his mind. He got up, thanking God that he still had his pants on and that he was still a virgin…well half a virgin. Nate searched around the room, frantically looking for his shirt. He groaned again once he saw that Alex was wearing it. She was sound asleep, not knowing that Nate was going crazy.

"Alex!" Nate whisper-screamed as he shook her awake. Alex groaned and waved her hands as if she was swatting a fly. "Alex!" Nate yelled this time. Alex peeked her eyes opened and blinked.

"Huh?" she muffled, snuggling with a pillow. She closed her eyes and attempted to drift of to sleep. Nate continued to shake her. "What?" she whined.

"I need to go home! I'm way passed curfew and my parents are gonna murder me! Alex, I need my shirt!" Alex took off Nate's shirt right before his eyes and pulled her blankets over her. Nate felt an erection in his pants again, but he ignored it. He slipped the shirt over his head then quickly put his shoes on.

Before he was about to exit the room, Nate looked at Alex. She was just so…different. Nate never thought that he would experience something like that. Alex was just so good and pleasuring in bed, no wonder boys loved to sleep with her. Nate didn't want to lose his virginity at age seventeen, (he made sure of that) but it didn't mean that he didn't go far with her tonight. They went very far.

Nate glanced at Alex one more time then left the house. He started his car and slowly drove back to his house. He lived just a short way back and he was already passed curfew. It wouldn't matter what time he came home now. His parents couldn't punish him even more. Nate had many more important things to worry about anyways.

What was on his mind was his feelings towards Alex. While the two were just studying, he felt a friendship. He felt as if Alex and him could possibly and actually be friends. Then Nate suddenly felt attractive to her. He felt a strong will to just…kiss her...and more. It was the biggest mistake of his life.

Nate hit the breaks once he saw his house. He felt pure rage. He couldn't believed what he just did with Alex, the school's slut! Nate covered his face, cursing under his breath. Hatred towards Alex increased. He felt so angry that she seduced him to get him into bed with her. Nate felt even angrier that he allowed her to seduce him and fell for her trap!

Nate exited his car, promising that his hate towards Alex will stay the same and that he would never do anything that stupid ever again. He sighed as he was about to open the door. He expected his parents to be right behind, glaring at him with a flame as large as a bonfire in their eyes. That didn't matter to him at the moment though.

I can't believe I almost lost my virginity to…Alex Russo. Nate thought as he gently and quietly opened the door. He saw exactly what he expected. Nate took a deep breath before his parents started nagging and yelling their heads off.

oOo

Mitchie couldn't go to sleep. It was past midnight and almost one in the morning, but she just couldn't go to sleep. Mitchie laid in her bed, wide awake. Her eyes were open and looked like they weren't going to close soon. She tossed and turned, but nothing could get her to fall asleep. Mitchie sighed, defeated. She might as well just stay there with her eyes wide open until she couldn't take it anymore.

Mitchie stood up and walked downstairs into the kitchen. She grabbed a carton of milk from the refrigerator and poured it into a glass. She placed the glass into the microwave and heated it up for a minute. Mitchie tapped her feet, waiting in the dark for the next sixty-seconds. The small three beeps at the end, signaling that the heating was over, rang silently throughout the house.

Shane raised an eyebrow as he heard three annoying noises. He was watching TV the whole time and thought that everyone else was sleeping. Apparently he was wrong.

Shane walked down the stairs and bumped into Mitchie who was sipping her glass of milk. Mitchie blinked at him as she chugged the warm white liquid down. She quickly felt sleepy and ready to go to bed. Shane looked at her weirdly. Mitchie was never the kind of person who would be up during this time on a school night.

"Having trouble sleeping?" Shane asked.

"Yeah, I've been trying to sleep for the past couple hours." Mitchie said, wiping the milk of her face with the sleeve of her jacket. She yawned. "Well night, Shane." With that, Mitchie walked back upstairs and entered her room. She closed the door behind it and drifted off to sleep.

Shane sighed and folded his arms. He smiled a little and walked back into his room. He felt that connection with his sister he had when they were younger. He missed that friendship so much. Shane would remember that he and Mitchie would tell each other everything. Who they liked, who they hated, things they did wrong, and more secrets. Ever since the two turned thirteen, it was like they didn't know each other any longer and that friendship ended.

Shane's smile grew wider as he realized that that wonderful connection was beginning to grow. He felt hopeful that in time he and Mitchie will just be more than friends and become more than stepbrother and stepsister. Shane felt hopeful that Mitchie will love him, more than she's allowed to.

This time, Mitchie tossed and turned in her sleep, trying to wake up from a nightmare. A while ago all she wanted to do was get some shut eye, now she wanted to wake up from the worst dream she's ever had. Mitchie felt as if she was going to cry, even if she was still sleeping.

"Nate! What are you doing to me?!" Mitchie yelled as Nate gripped onto her hands and pinned her onto the wall. Nate laughed, looking and smelling drunk. He kissed Mitchie's neck aggressively and forcefully. Mitchie screamed and tried to squirm away. She just couldn't get out of his grasp. "Nate! Why are you doing this to me?! I love you!"

"Well I don't love you! Why can't you see that! Open your eyes, bitch!" Nate yelled. He stumbled back, walking shakily. Alex then appeared out of no where. She was wearing sexy and revealing clothes that would of positively made any guy literally drool over her. "Hey baby." Nate slurred, kissing Alex's neck. Alex laughed. She pushed Nate onto her lips and the two began to sloppily kiss.

Mitchie sat in the corner crying as she watched her boyfriend kissing another girl. Nate and Alex suddenly faded away and she was resting her body on Shane's. She was still crying as Shane stroked her hair gently, cooing her.

"You don't deserve a jerk like him." Shane whispered into her ear.

"But I love Nate so much." Mitchie softly said.

"Nate isn't the only man you have to love."

"Who else is there?" Mitchie asked in a whisper. Shane was quiet. He looked into Mitchie's eyes and kissed her gently.

Mitchie shot her eyes open at the sound of her ringing alarm clock. She was sweating from head to toe and felt her heart beating fast. Tears quickly came upon her eyes as she remembered every single detail of that dream. Mitchie let her alarm clock ring as she hugged her knees and cried.

"Mitchie, turn your freaking clock off!" Shane groaned as he opened her door. He was never good with mornings. Once he saw his sister crying again, Shane felt his stomach drop. "Why are you crying?"

"N-no reason." Mitchie said. Shane walked up to her.

"What happened?" Mitchie shook her head, not wanting to tell Shane. Shane shrugged. "Fine, don't tell me." He pressed the off button on the clock and the noise stopped. Shane sighed and walked out of the room, worried about Mitchie.

Mitchie took a deep breath and wiped her tears away. It was just a dream. Nothing real. It will never happen. She thought to herself as she laid her uniform out. She tried not to think of what just happened as she did her morning routine.

After her morning doings were done, Mitchie walked downstairs to find Shane sleeping on the couch. He was never much of an early sleeper either. He fell asleep around two or three in the morning. Mitchie rolled her eyes as she walked into the kitchen and grabbed a piece of toast.

"Mom! David! I'm going to school!" She yelled as she was about to leave. Shane heard her slam the door and grumbled. He peeked his eyes opened and yawned, thinking that he needed to get to school soon.

"Connie! Dad! I'm going too!" Shane yelled as he followed Mitchie out of the house. Her car was already gone once he closed the door behind him though. Shane shrugged and walked towards his car. He started it then drove off to school.

oOo

Nate heard the sound of Alex's seductive heels coming his way. (He could also tell that Alex was near since every guy in every direction was wolf calling.) Nate tried his best to ignore her as she neared him. He felt sweat droplets form on his body as the volume of Alex's clacking heels increased.

Nate closed his locker to see Alex smirking at him, leaning on the lockers right next to him. He sighed and turned away, starting to walk quickly towards another direction. Nate turned slightly to see if she was still there. Alex was still leaning on the exact spot in the exact position, looking hot and sexy as ever. Nate felt another erection coming so he quickly looked away and ran towards homeroom. Alex giggled a little and then walked away.

I've got him right where I want him. she thought.

Nate sat on his seat, breathing slowly and deeply. He couldn't believe that he was being intimidated by a seventeen year old, 5'5, harmless girl. Nate felt…weak.

He felt his heart race as Alex came back into his thoughts again. Something told him that he hated Alex. He hated her so much that he would rather experience his parents yelling at him every single second of the day then spend time with her. Something else told him that he wanted her. Nate wanted her so, so bad. It was like Alex was his addiction, his bad habit, and he can't stop it. Nate just wanted to keep going back for more and more. His thoughts confused him but somehow, he understood it.

Nate felt guilty again as he saw Mitchie walk into class. She smiled at him then sat in her assigned seat. Nate sighed and covered his face. He couldn't believe that he was being 'one of those guys'. Those guys who seem like the perfect boyfriend that a girl would find no flaw in what-so-ever, but then she finds out that he has a secret. A guilty pleasure.

Nate rested his forehead on the soft wood of the desk as the guilt completely took over his body. Alex was his guilty pleasure and he can't do anything about it. No matter how much he will ever hate her, he still wants a lot more with her.

Nate looked up. Mitchie was fixing her books while Alex just passed by the classroom, glancing at Nate. He sighed and rubbed his temples. Nate needed to make a decision. Be the good boyfriend and ditch Alex, or be the 'seem to be good boyfriend' and keep Alex. He needed to choose between the girl he has and the girl he desires.

"Class! I have some announcements!" the homeroom teacher boomed out. Nate's thoughts were interrupted and he began to listen to the teacher. At least it's keeping him distracted from Mitchie and Alex.

oOo

It was science class again. Nate and Shane sat next to each other, not talking at all. They intended to give each other the silent treatment and are going to keep through with it no matter how much they fail.

"Boys! I need you two to get over with your fracas from the day before and to start researching on your report! I will not have procrastination in my class!" the teacher yelled at them.

"What the hell is fracas and procrastination?" Nate murmured, completely confused. Luckily, their teacher didn't hear him and she walked away. Nate turned to Shane and Shane did the same. The two stared each other down, not saying a word.

"Look, for the next forty-five minutes, let's pretend that we don't hate each other and do our work. After that we can continue to have the will to kill the shit out of each other. For now, let's do our work." Shane said. Nate nodded at the compromise.

"Fine, but seriously, do we really have to do a report on the human reproduction?"

"Do you want to pass science or not?" Nate rolled his eyes and folded his arms.

"Fine." He muffled, feeling indignant.

So the two began their report on the human reproduction, acting as if they didn't hate each other. What surprised everyone the most is that they actually didn't fight or yell at each other. Once the bell rang though, that truce was broken and they went straight back into hating each other.

Nate shuffled out of his seat and walked out of the room, searching for his girlfriend. What he got instead was the opposite. Alex smiled sexily at him as she brushed passed by. Nate felt as if he was going to fall on his shaking legs.

Shane looked at this gesture and raised an eyebrow. He looked at Alex and followed her. He took her hand and led her to an empty hallway. Alex didn't even mind this time. Her mind was full with happiness.

"What's up with you and Nate?" Shane whispered. Alex shrugged, knowing that Nate would kill her if she told anyone that they hooked up last night.

"I don't know what you're talking about Shane." She said, innocently as she ran her fingers lightly over Shane's body. He felt like Nate, as if he was going to fall soon, but he kept his posture and a straight face on. He wasn't as weak as Nate.

"Don't lie to me, Alex. You guys did something when you were tutoring him last night, didn't you?" He asked, smirking.

"Pfft, I have no effing clue what you're talking about. But drop it Shane, you're not going to get the answer you want out of this. So stop collecting all the bones in the closet that you think Nate has just to prove to Mitchie that you're a better boyfriend than him. And I say this because I care: you and Mitchie will never be together so please stop trying to score with her. She's your stepsister, goddamnit!."

Shane looked at Alex, speechless. She got it all figured out. Wow…she is smart. Shane thought. He needed to drive her off into another direction though. He didn't want anyone, including Alex, to know how he feels about his stepsister.

"Okay, now I have no idea what you're talking about." Shane lied. Alex rolled her eyes and pushed Shane away. She walked towards her next class. Shane frowned and folded his arms. "You're crazy for thinking that, you know!" He yelled as she was about to turn into another hallway. Alex rolled her eyes again and left. His attempt to get Alex to think of another idea crashed. It doesn't mean that he still couldn't deny it though.

oOo

The final bell rang. Nate and Mitchie walked out of school, hand in hand. "So what are you doing today?" Mitchie asked. Nate thought quickly. He couldn't tell her that he was being tutored by the school's whore. Mitchie would jump off into an assumption that Alex was trying to get him into bed and Nate would have to lie and say no.

"I'm getting tutored by this college geek my parents hired." Nate said. Mitchie nodded her head.

"Well I'll see you later, Natey." She said, pecking his lips. Nate smiled a little and watched as his girlfriend entered her car and drove away.

Nate sighed and shoved his hands into his pockets. He then felt a warm and gentle hand on his shoulder. He turned as saw Alex's drop dead gorgeous face again. Nate felt like he was melting once more. Alex smiled at him.

"So are we meeting at my house? I heard that you actually got a good grade on your homework we did last night." Alex said, winking. Nate felt his skin crawl. He scratched his head.

"Alex, umm, listen. I know what we did was…well awesome and I thank you for that, but I have a girlfriend who's madly in love with me. I can't just break her heart like that. Which means that what happened last night, only happened last night. It won't ever repeat." Nate said. Alex frowned and folded her arms across her breasts.

"You say that Mitchie is madly in love with you. How do you feel about her?" Nate tapped his feet, awkwardly. She's got him cornered. What could he do - lie? Nate always hated lying.

"Well…" He started. Alex smiled.

"Hesitation. That's a sign that you don't feel the same way. Listen Nate, I don't play for love. I play for fun. So if you don't like me, I don't care." Alex took a step closer, practically pressing her body onto his. "But I know that you liked what we did last night."

Nate looked onto the floor. Guilt and confusion spread throughout his body once again. He hated the feelings combined with each other. Together it caused his mind to race and for his head to receive an annoying headache. He looked down at Alex. She looked so innocent but so hot at the same time.

"How about this, don't think of it as if you're cheating on Mitchie. You're technically not since you have no feelings for me. We're just…partners. Bed partners." Alex said, still smiling. She knew that she had to have Nate's approval now. Nate scratched his head, trying to figure out Alex's odd logic.

"Well…" he said again. He sighed. "I'll meet you at Starbucks at 4:00." Alex smirked.

"Bye Natey." She said, waving at him before she walked away towards her car. Nate placed his books over his pants as his cock rose. He smiled a little, excited for later. Alex was his guilty pleasure, and Nate just had to live with that.

oOo

Shane laid on the couch as he stuffed himself with barbecue flavored potato chips and drank a tall glass of ice filled root-beet soda. He flipped through the channels, looking for something good on their large plasma screen TV. He had no intentions to start his homework anytime soon.

Mitchie walked in, surprised. Shane was alone. Without a girl. She raised an eyebrow and sat next to her brother. "So are you deciding to hook up with a girl later?" she joked. Shane rolled his eyes then smiled. He sat up so he was sitting leg-to-leg with Mitchie.

"Nah, I'm taking a break today. I can't have sex every single day of my life." Shane responded. Mitchie became even more surprised.

"Didn't stop you before." she said, smirking. Shane smiled. He leaned on the couch as rested his arm around Mitchie's shoulders. It was as if they were on a date. Mitchie felt sort of uncomfortable, still traumatized by her dream. She acted as if she was unaffected though. This wasn't the first time Shane has ever touched her, why should she start feeling awkward now?

"Yeah well, there's a first for everything." Shane said, looking deeply into her eyes. Mitchie blushed and brought her attention to the TV that was playing boring news.

She slowly found herself resting on Shane's body. She felt so comfortable, as if she was snuggling with a loving brother. It felt so good. Mitchie smiled and hugged Shane, not caring how awkward their situation is. Shane was taken by surprised by her gesture, but he gradually accepted it. He wrapped his arms around Mitchie and hugged her back as they watched the news.

Connie walked downstairs and smiled. "Aw, how cute! I haven't seen you guys so close since you were in middle school! I'm so glad that you two are getting along now." she said.

Mitchie pulled away and turned red. "Mom, it's not like we hate each other's guts and everything. Plus we hug…on a weekly basis." she said.

"Yes but I've never seen you two so snuggly and cute. It's adorable, sweetie. O and Shane, your father wants you to get him some coffee." Shane groaned.

"But why can't he get it himself? All he has to do is walk downstairs and walk into the kitchen." Shane whined.

"And for that, you have to get me a coffee from Starbucks. No complaining in my house, Shane. Now go." they heard David say from upstairs. Shane rolled his eyes and cursed silently in his head. He put his shoes on then left their house.

David walked downstairs. He and Connie sat next to Mitchie. She looked at her parents, knowing that they will have a conversation now. She sighed and folded her arms, waiting for one of her parents to speak up. David and Connie looked at each other, nervously, urging each other silently to start first.

"Well, honey," Connie said. Mitchie drove her attention to her mom. "Like I said before, you and Shane are starting to get really close." Mitchie raised an eyebrow, sort of confused. "I mean, really close. You guys go into each other's room a lot and stay there for quite a time." Mitchie widened her eyes.

"O my God, Mom! Talk about ewww and gross! Mom, Shane and I are brother and sister! We would never do that! What gave you that crazy idea?!" Mitchie yelled, absolutely disgusted.

"Mitchie, you two are not blood related and you know Shane and his ways towards girls. It's like he can't take his hands off of them." David said.

"And sweetie, you and Shane has gotten a bit physical for the past couple days. I see you guys hugging and acting all sweet to each other. It's like you two are dating or something." Connie said. Mitchie stared at her mother with disbelief.

"You have got to be kidding me! Five seconds ago you just said how cute we look! Mom, David, I assure you that Shane and I are not having a secret relationship behind your back. We love each other as brother and sister and that's how far it'll get. Plus Shane would never kiss me. I'm the only girl he doesn't want to kiss." Mitchie said.

Connie and David looked at each other and sighed. "If you say so, Mitchie. We trust your word. I just hope that you're not lying to me."

"Mom, why would I lie about this?! I can't believe that you would assume that I was having an affair with my own brother! Not only that is wrong, but I have a boyfriend!"

"I'm sorry, honey. It was just so…out in the open. It just couldn't be missed and was so obvious. We just had to ask." Mitchie sighed and nodded her head. She folded her arms, still a little mad because of her parent's assumptions. Connie kissed her daughter's head. "I suggest you start your homework now." Mitchie nodded again, not looking straight at her parents.

As Connie and David left, Mitchie thought about what they just said. It was out in the open? It couldn't be missed? What the heck is she talking about? What, is the fact that Shane and I acting like brother and sister make people think that we're sleeping with each other? What the hell?

Well we have been acting closer lately. But I like it. The Shane right now is sweet, fun, loving, everything I want in a brother. So we hug more and…touch? So, I hug David and no one thinks of the worst thing. Well then again he's like twenty-five years older than me and is married to my Mom. So Shane and I are getting more touchy. Who cares? We're stepbrother and sister. No one can change that.

It's true that no one can change the fact that they are brother and sister. But Shane has some tricks up his sleeve. He can change other things.

oOo

Nate waited at a booth at the corner of Starbucks, waiting for Alex. He felt excited but guilty, more excited though. First of all, he wanted to get a good grade on his homework again. His parents ungrounded him early since his grades were getting up. Second, he wanted spend a little quality time with his 'bed partner'.

Nate found Alex walking in, carrying her backpack. She was wearing navy blue skinny jeans, metallic blue flats, and a white tank top over a light blue one. Her jacket was wrapped around her waist. Nate found her severely attractive. He felt another boner coming, and he hated it. Nate crossed his legs as Alex sat in front of him, smiling.

"Okay, let's start the tutoring. But one question. Why are we in Starbucks?" Alex asked.

"Well…because it was more public." Nate said.

"Ah, I see. You just don't want to have sex with me at the moment. I completely understand. I mean, we're doing this for the benefit of your grades, right? So I think we should start studying now." Alex said, quickly closing her mouth as she noticed that she was about to start blabbering on and on.

Nate smiled a little. If he ever disagreed or said something Mitchie wouldn't like to hear, she wouldn't forgive him until a little while. Alex though, she absolutely gets him. This was another thing Nate saw that Alex had while Mitchie didn't. He and Alex got their books out and the two began their homework.

They had very light homework today so they finished very quickly. Faster than Nate expected. He thought that it would take them at least two hours to finish. He felt as if that was just ten seconds.

The two closed their backpacks, ready to leave. Then they froze and just stared at each other. Alex felt her heart beating fast. All the things she said to Nate about how she felt nothing for him, well she lied. She definitely felt something towards him, and it wasn't just the need to have sex.

Alex leaned into Nate and kissed him. At first Nate was about to pull her in closer and deepen the kiss but he realized that they weren't alone. He pushed her away. "Alex, we're in public." he whispered. Alex sighed, wishing that they were in her house instead of the coffee shop.

Nate looked at her expression and decided to play footsie with her, just to cheer her up. Alex smiled as she felt Nate's leg touching hers and blushed. His hands then rubbed her leg, feeling her with delight. Nate kissed her cheek and Alex turned even more red.

She turned towards another direction to see a very confused but amused Shane Grey, staring at her and Nate while sipping his coffee.

"O fuck." Alex whispered. Nate looked at the direction Alex was looking at and widened his eyes.

"Fuck." Nate said, agreeing with Alex. Shane smirked and walked out of the Starbucks and driving back home. Nate turned back onto Alex, worried. "What are we going to do?! He's going to tell Mitchie! O my God!"

"Relax, I'll make sure that he won't tell a soul." Alex said, assuring him. Nate took a deep breath, not really trusting her, but he didn't have much of a choice. He ran his fingers through his shiny curly hair and looked at Alex.

"Can we…umm…go to your house now?" Nate asked. Alex smiled and took his hand, standing them both up.

"Sure." She said as they walked out of the coffee shop, hand in hand.

oOo

"Dad! Here's your freaking coffee! Thank you so much for making me go to Starbucks to get you a simple coffee we could of made in our very own home!" Shane said, not even being sarcastic. He ignored his father's glare and raced upstairs into Mitchie's room.

"My God! Shane, you scared me!" Mitchie said as Shane entered her room. She was reading a book before she was interrupted.

Shane sat on her bed, wanting to tell her what he just saw. Then he thought for a second. Alex and Nate are going to do anything to stop him from spilling onto Mitchie. He would love to see their attempts, their pleads, and the fact that they are going to admit that they are secretly hooking up.

"I just needed to see you." Shane said. He pulled his sister into an unexpected hug. Mitchie smiled and hugged her brother back, burying her face into his neck. How she would love to do this with Shane everyday. It just brought smiles and a great feeling to her when she hugs him.

Maybe Nate isn't the only one with a guilty pleasure.

A/N: Tell me how you think! Should I make the chapters longer or shorter? Should I leave of with more suspense or am I doing fine? I want to hear what you all have to say!

Preview:

"Shane, I can't believe you're throwing a party while Mom and David are out of town! Do you know how much trouble we could get into?!" Mitchie yelled, over the music. She looked at the girls in very revealing clothes, dancing like strippers, and felt disgusted. Shane glanced at them for a second then looked at Mitchie. He rolled his eyes and scoffed.

"Please, I've done this billions of times. But if we get caught, don't worry, I'll say that it's entirely my faul." Shane said. Mitchie smiled.

--

"Wait, what?" Mitchie asked, getting a little angry.

"Mitchie-" Nate started, but Shane randomly came and and wrapped his arm around Mitchie's waist.

"Want some punch?" He asked, handing her the spiked drink. Mitchie sighed angrily and chugged the punch down. Nate frowned and walked away.

--

"Come on, Nate. I need you inside of me." Alex begged. Nate sighed, making a split-second decision. He smirked, giving Alex exactly what she wanted.

--

"Woo! I feel so free!" Mitchie said, walking shakily. She was boviously drunk. Shane smirked and raised an eyebrow.

"Come on, let's go upstairs in my room."

"Okie dokie!" Mitchie laughed.
