So two correct guesses of the chapter title (well done Abby (that's two now if you're keeping score) and Popscb (I do believe that's your second one as well)). I hope you enjoy this chapter... I'm pretty sure most of you will...

Chapter 9: Feel.

It had been five weeks since the cousins had started their relationship and so far both were very happy with the step they'd taken together. Nobody had yet discovered the change in their relationship status and they were both happy about that too. Their times together had been hampered slightly by the fact Joey had got a job at Uncle Jack's boxing gym. His parents were insisting he started earning his living and doing something with his life and Uncle Jack had been good enough to step in and offer him something. Joey had even decided to go back to college so he could qualify to train people at the gym. He had dropped out of school while studying his A-levels, not long after starting the beginning of his last year because he'd hated it; he'd hated the subjects he was learning; hated the monotony of each day and knew with a passion that learning was not going to be any part of his future... to his parents dismay. But now he was going back to college and because he'd missed the first few weeks of the course he had to work pretty hard to try and make up all of that as well as what he was now studying... and he was the first to admit he'd never been the best student at school so he wasn't finding it easy. He'd spoken to Lauren about it a little and although she'd tried to make him feel better it hadn't really helped with the bigger issue of how much work he had to do. So instead she'd helped him study – which ate into more of the time where they could be exploring their relationship.

Tonight though they were alone; Alice was staying at a friend's and Joey's parents had gone away for the night as well. And Joey had plans. He had managed to catch up on his work finally and he was having a well earned night off from studying. He wanted the two of them to take a step further in their relationship.

He swung the door open as Lauren walked up to it. Not that he'd been watching for her or anything... he most certainly wouldn't admit to that anyway. "Come in, Lo..." he said softly. They walked into the lounge and Lauren put her bag down on the couch. "Do you want a drink, babe?" he asked.

"I'm fine. Thanks." She turned to face him, "Only think I want is you, Joe." She said with a smile.

He smiled at her and stepped forward, lifting her onto his shoulder in a fireman's lift, making her shriek in surprise and then giggle. He carried her upstairs and dumped her unceremoniously on his bed. He jumped onto the bed beside her and kissed her passionately. "It's been too long since I've been able to do that," he whispered as they pulled apart.

"Far too long..." she agreed, pressing her lips against his again.

When they eventually pulled apart after another round of heated kisses, Joey stared at Lauren, "Do you trust me?" he asked her softly.

"Of course I do, JoJo."

"I want to try something with you..." he told her gently.

"What?" she asked.

"It's a surprise..." he said.

"I trust you..." she confirmed.

"Take your clothes off..." he told her gently. To her credit Lauren only paused for a couple of seconds before getting up from the bed and quickly removing her clothes. Over the last two weeks she had become a lot less shy around him when it came to taking her clothes off. Joey clambered off the bed and stood behind her, grabbing something from his desk that she couldn't see. "Close your eyes..." he whispered in her ear. She did as he asked with no question. He pulled one of her scarves (that he'd taken from her room the week before) from behind his back and tied it around her head so that it covered her eyes.

"JoJo?" she whispered.

"Trust me..." he whispered to her, feeling her relax as he said those two words. Placing his hands on her shoulders he led her back to the bed and then helped her lie down. "I'll be back in a few minutes," he whispered, kissing her irresistible mouth softly before leaving his room. He walked back into the room and placed the various items he'd brought with him on the bed. Lauren was still lying in exactly the same position as she had been when he left the room and he took a couple of minutes to appreciate how she looked. "Lo, you are stunningly beautiful..." he said softly. He strode over to his desk and picked up the last two things he needed before joining her on the bed.

"What are you up to, JoJo?"

"I want you to let yourself feel everything, Lo... so not being able to see should help with that."

"Okay..." she said softly.

Joey let the room fall silent for a few minutes, the room increasing in intensity with each second. Finally he picked up the first object he was going to use and let it drip onto her chest, smiling as she gasped and then whimpered his name. He ran the object down from the base of her neck and over the top of one breast. Her nipple stiffened and he could see Lauren was biting her lip. "Ice, Joe... that's just cruel..." she whispered. Joey just smiled and then trailed the rapidly melting cube over to her other peak, repeating his actions and seeing her shiver slightly as her body cooled wherever he dragged the ice. In no time at all, the cube had fully melted. Joey smiled and picked up the next object. A candle. He blew it out and let it cool down slightly. Carefully, making sure he only tipped it onto the ice-numbed skin he poured some of the melted wax onto her chest. "What's that?" she asked softly.

"You tell me..."

"It's warm..." she said. "Is it chocolate?" she asked.

"No..." he said, smiling.

"Honey?" she said.

"It's nothing edible, Lo..." he said, giving her a clue.

She's silent for a little while as she contemplates what it could be. "I don't know, JoJo... you're going to have to tell me."

Joey put the candle on his bedside table and then moved so he was lying beside her. He kissed the shoulder that was closest to him, moving his mouth slowly towards her neck and then up to her jaw. Once he was close enough he whispered in her ear, "Candle wax..."

Lauren gasped and turned her head towards him, giving Joey the perfect opportunity to kiss her on the mouth. "What if you'd burned me?" she whispered.

"Well, firstly I would've kissed it better... and secondly, that's why I used the ice first to numb your skin a little." He saw her smile at him and he kissed her again. She really was addictive.

"What's next?" she asked.

"Well I need to remove the wax..." he said with a slight smirk. His fingers barely touched her body, drifting across her stomach until his hand cupped a breast. His thumb grazed over the nipple, pushing the hardened wax off. He did the same to her other breast and then moved his mouth to each one and bathed them with his tongue.

Lauren's hand lifted off the mattress and she brushed her fingertips through his hair. He had discovered in the few weeks they were together that she liked it when he paid attention to her breasts. It was one of the reasons he'd started there today. Of course, it might also have had something to do with the fact he was fascinated with them as well. "Joe..." she whimpered as he pulled one peak into his mouth and sucked on it hard.

"I'm not sure you can even comprehend how much I'm in love with your boobs, babe..." he whispered against her skin.

"As long as that's not the only part of me you like, Joe, I really don't mind..." she told him.

He stretched his neck and kissed her mouth hungrily, his hand lifting and caressing her face as the kiss deepened. "I love all of you, babe... every single millimetre of your body entices me in and I want to lose myself in you forever..." he breathed against her mouth, feeling the slight hitch of her breath as he spoke. Joey rolled away from her, pulling her with him so she was draped over his body and he spent several minutes just kissing her.

"Touch me, Joe..." she begged as she tore her mouth from his.

"Tell me where," he said softly.

"Between my legs..." she whispered, shifting against him slightly. Joey knew she was pretty close to coming just from the few small things he'd done. She was always responsive when it was him touching her it seemed.

He dragged his hand over her stomach, moving in the opposite direction from earlier. His forefinger circled around her clit and Lauren sighed loudly. "Did you like that?" he asked. She nodded, licking her lips as she breathed heavily. She moved away from him, rolling back onto her back and letting her legs fall apart as his finger continued to tease her nub. "Is this what you meant?" he asked, knowing full well it wasn't. She shook her head. "What do you want me to do then?" he breathed in her ear.

Lauren gasped as his hot breath sent her already heightened emotions ricocheting through her body. "Touch me properly, JoJo... make me come..." she pleaded with him.

"Not yet, baby..." Joey said with a smile, pulling away from her and returning to the items he'd selected. He lifted one in his hand, brushing it over her body with a barely there touch. He heard her breathy moan as she tried to increase the contact he made with her body. He ran it over her clit and he watched as she bit her lip hard. "Does that feel good, Lo?" he asked her softly.

"Why are you torturing me, JoJo?" she all but sobbed.

"I told you what this was about, Lo..." he said gently, "Don't you like what I'm doing to you?" he asked. There was a little part of him that was worried she was going to answer no.

"You know I love it... but you're teasing me," She whimpered.

"It's only teasing if I don't intend to follow through, babe... and I'm definitely going to be giving you exactly what you want..."

"But I want that now..." she whispered, her lips forming the perfect pout.

"Patience is a virtue, babe..."

She sighed. "As long as you keep your promise I can wait a little longer." She eventually whispered.

Joey smirked and turned his attention back to the feather he'd been teasing her with earlier. He dragged it down her leg all the way to her ankle. He ran it slowly back up her other leg then circling it around her clit. She moaned loudly and it made his smile grow. "Do you want me to move onto the next thing?" She nodded. He kissed her tenderly as he threw the feather over the side of the bed. He pulled the bottle out of the bag and flipped open the lid. He thought of what she said earlier and grinned. He tipped the bottle upside down and drizzled it over her chest, stomach and slightly lower.

Lauren gasped as she felt the liquid hit her body. Yet again she had no idea what it was he was using but it was undoubtedly turning her on. Her body felt like it was on fire and she almost wished he had another ice cube he could use to cool her down. Joey had stopped again and she listened intently, trying to hear what he was doing now. She heard the faint rustling of a carrier bag and then there was a popping sound that might've been a lid of some kind. The next sound she heard was all too familiar and she giggled as she heard him spray squirty cream in various places over her body. The cream was slightly cold, offering her some relief from her earlier discomfort. She heard him place the can on his bedside table, feeling the bed shift slightly as he moved. Then... nothing. "Joe?" she whispered.

"Just working out where to start..." he answered her unspoken question. "I have my own chocolate sundae lying before me and I'm torn about which bit looks more tempting."

"It was chocolate..." Lauren murmured. Turning her attention back to Joey, "If you don't hurry up I'm going to melt..." she told him.

"Wise words, Lo..." he said softly. His lips pressed against her neck and she sighed as his mouth caressed her skin. He slowly descended down her body, his tongue brushing the cream and chocolate off her breasts that left her practically purring on the bed. The tension within her was again increasing and she could feel an orgasm threatening to hurtle through her once more. His mouth moved lower and it was tantalisingly close to where she was desperate for him to be. Tongue and lips moved ever closer but seemed to be avoiding the one place she needed him to touch her. Instead his tongue was licking away the chocolate and cream mess that he'd lavishly daubed over the whole of her body.

Apparently Joey was still a boy at heart. It reminded Lauren of the times when they were both young and he would put the cream on his puddings. If she'd not been wearing the blindfold she knew she would've seen an intense look of concentration on his face as he no doubt used the whole canister of cream on her. Her attention was drawn back to him as he finally pressed his mouth against her clit, his tongue brushing over it softly. Then a finger was pushed into her and she was one step closer to reaching her peak. Over the next few minutes he added two more fingers. Lauren's hands clutched at the duvet cover as she began to breathe heavily, Joey continuing his mission to make her come. He pulled away from her and chuckled as she groaned. Her hand reached out towards him, trying to push his head back to where it'd just been. She could feel the emotions starting to fade and she knew that was his intention. Now she wasn't sure he'd been telling the truth with what he'd said earlier. She'd thought so at the time but now she wasn't convinced. "JoJo..." she whispered, hearing the desperation in her voice.

"Stop worrying, Lo..." he said softly.

"You promised..." she reminded him.

"Have I ever let you down?"

"Then make me come..." she whimpered, shifting on the bed.

"You're sure that's what you want?" he asked.

Lauren could hear the smirk in his voice and she snapped, nearly biting his head off, "JOEY!"

"Okay... fine. If I must..." He smiled again when he saw her poke her tongue out at him. "Take off the blindfold..." he said softly. His smile grew as he saw her pretty much tear the blindfold away from her face. Her eyes were dark and bore into his as he lowered his mouth once more to her clit. He spent a couple of minutes sucking on her, seeing and hearing her arousal climb. He moved his mouth lower and licked the length of her opening. He moved his thumb to her clit, pressing on it hard as he pushed his tongue inside. She moaned again, her legs clamping on his head and urging him on. He relented and gave her what she wanted and she screamed his name... louder than he had ever heard her before. He kissed his way back up her body, her arms wrapping around his neck as he kissed her on the mouth, settling his body on top of hers. "Hey beautiful..." he said softly.

"Hey..." she whispered. She kissed him again. "JoJo..." he quirked an eyebrow at her, "Why the fuck are you still wearing clothes?"

A/N: So what did you think? Pretty hot, right? Who knew Joey had that in him? Back later with the next chapter.

Next chapter's guest artist is... Adele... Can you guess which song it's going to be?
