Chapter 36

A/N: Thankyou to FloveHSM for pointing out that I put up the wrong chapter.

Here is the real Chapter 36.

I do not own any part of High School Musical

Dec 8 Sun

They woke the next morning in a very similar position to the day before. Gabriella was lying on top of Troy with one of her legs pressed into his groin. The difference this morning was that after their discussions the day before Gabriella felt more curious than threatened by Troy's morning erection.

"Morning Troy" she said and stretched arching herself against his straining manhood pretending not to notice his reaction.

"Morning Gabi" Troy kissed his wife trying desperately not to thrust against her.

Gabriella returned his kisses enthusiastically, deliberately wiggling her hips slightly.

Troy was glad that she was no longer backing off in fright whenever she felt his erection and was trying to remain still so he didn't scare her off again, but it was killing him. He broke the kiss and stared into Gabriella's eyes seeing amusement sparkling in their depths. The little witch was doing this on purpose.

"Gabi..."he groaned "what are you doing? I thought you said you were going to ignore it when this happens. Are you trying to drive me insane?"

Gabriella giggled and blushed. "I'm sorry Troy" she said trying to lie still. "It's just after yesterday I knew you wouldn't start anything so I felt safe with you poking into me. I kind of like it that I can turn you on so much. I didn't mean to upset you."

Troy threaded a hand through the back of her hair and pulled her back down to resume their making out. Unfortunately for his control he then ran that hand down Gabriella's back causing her to give a whole body shiver.

He groaned and thrust his hips before he could stop himself covering her with his semen.

"OH God" he moaned rolling Gabriella off him and running from the room. He ran downstairs and out the back door oblivious to the fact he was wearing only boxers covered in come. He collapsed in tears of self disgust and despair under the tree leading to his tree-house.

Gabriella lay there for a moment in shock. She wasn't upset that Troy had lost control, she knew that it was her fault for starting it. She was worried about him though. She got up and searched the house. Seeing him huddled under the tree through the dining room window she hurried over to wrap her arms around him.

"Troy?" she asked uncertainly.

Her heart broke as he looked up at her with dull blue-grey eyes and tears running down his face. The last time he'd looked like that had been because he thought he was going to lose her and she rushed to reassure him that she wasn't going to leave him.

"Shh Baby... it's okay... I'm here... I'm not going anywhere..." she said holding him tightly.

"Oh God Gabi! I promised not to... You trusted me... and I..." he sobbed incoherently.

"Sshh Troy it's alright"

"No it's not you didn't want... you're not ready... and I promised you'd be safe with me and I ruined it..."

"Troy please try and calm down" Gabriella begged, "so we can talk it over properly"

Troy just sobbed harder

"I promise we will sort this out. It will be okay"

"How can I make it okay? I abused your trust. I don't deserve you."

Seeing that Troy was beyond reasoning with at this point and knowing that it would take more than reassurances to convince him that he hadn't just destroyed both their marriage and their friendship she sat holding him tightly while her mind frantically tried to find a solution.

She felt guilty it was all her fault she'd started it and then even when he'd tried to warn her she hadn't backed off to let him regain control. And now he was torturing himself with remorse over a situation that was out of his control.

She had to fix this; all she could think of was to find a way show Troy that she still trusted him, and that she was still comfortable being around him when he was aroused. But to do that she'd have to somehow stimulate him again without him running away from her if he did get an erection, and given his current state of mind that would be extremely difficult.

Gabriella eventually noticed that they were both still covered in Troy's semen which had dried into a sticky itchy mess as they sat there, and that they were both shivering uncontrollably in the cold December morning. She badly wanted to shower but was still too worried about Troy to leave him alone with his current emotional breakdown.

An idea occurred to her, it might actually be the answer to getting Troy to see that she still trusted him as much as ever if she could only find the courage to do it. Looking at Troy again still curled up dejectedly refusing to accept her comforting hardened her resolve. She had to do something quickly before he withdrew completely and this was the best plan she could come up with.

She stood and taking Troy's hands pulled him to his feet and led him back into the house and up the stairs. Troy followed her unresisting barely seeming to notice their change in position. She entered his bathroom and pushed him to sit on the toilet lid. Gabriella was seriously worried by his lack of reaction as Troy sat there almost in a stupor while she adjusted the shower. She thought about removing her clothing but couldn't quite bring herself to do so.

She pulled Troy in to the warm shower with her and gently began to wash his shoulders. Troy stood there passively as she slowly washed her way down his arms and then his chest and torso. It wasn't until she reached the waistband of his boxers and started to remove them that he reacted.

"Gabi?" he questioned her moving to cover his genital area with his hands "what are you doing?" He looked around the shower as if wondering how he had got there.

"Shh Troy it's all right" Gabriella put her arms around his waist and hugged him "We were both freezing cold and in need of cleaning up. I was afraid to leave you alone in the state you were in so I thought that this was the best thing to do."

Troy felt her pressed up against him her wet pyjama top and shorts and his equally soaked boxers insufficient barriers to her heat and softness. In spite of himself he started to react. "Gabriella you need to get away from me" he warned he warned afraid she would be upset with him when she realised he was once again becoming aroused.

Gabriella shook her head and leaned back a little to look him in the eyes smiling, since she hadn't loosened her arms around his waist to do so this pressed her stomach more firmly against his growing erection.

"Troy we talked about this yesterday, it's okay to be turned on by me. You don't have to try to hide it. Just enjoy the feeling. I will move away if it makes me uncomfortable. I trust you."

"You shouldn't" he said roughly "I don't trust myself."

"What exactly are you afraid of?" Gabriella asked still not having moved an inch.

"That I'll lose control again." Troy cried "That you'll hate me" he added in a despairing whisper as if afraid to say it out loud.

"I could never hate you Troy. Are you worried that you will get over excited and cum all over me again, or that you'll force me to do something that I don't want to do? Because I know you won't force me, and it's okay if you cum. It won't upset me. What happened earlier was more my fault than yours. Please stop beating yourself up about it."

"How can you say that? I lost control and broke my promise to you."

"No you didn't Troy"

"I promised that we wouldn't do anything sexual until you were ready" he reminded her "and then this morning I did that. I got off dry humping you. I'm sorry I did it, I want to promise it won't happen again but I honestly can't" he started to cry again.

"Troy you didn't break your promise." He wasn't listening so she pulled his head down and kissed him to get his attention.

He pulled back and asked "How can you trust me?"

"Because you didn't break your promise" she said hoping that this time he would hear what she was saying.

"What?"

"Troy what happened this morning. Who started it?" she asked him gently.

Troy looked at her curiously but didn't answer.

"Tell me who started it Troy. I need to know that you know this."Gabriella said firmly

"I lost control..." he started to say.

"No Troy tell me who started it." Gabriella said beginning to sound annoyed.

He thought back to when she was squirming against him and realised that she had done it deliberately knowing what it was doing to him.

"You did?" he answered uncertainly.

"Yes Troy" Gabriella answered softly "I started it. You can't blame yourself for something I started."

"But I lost control."

"Troy you warned me and I chose not to listen, I would have stopped if I wanted to. You didn't break your promise because I wouldn't have started it if I wasn't ready to do that."

"But..."

"I admit I was a little surprised when you came, but I caused it. It's my fault, I forced you to lose control. I'm the one responsible."

"But..."

Gabriella covered Troy's mouth with her hand to stop him from saying anything else and made one last desperate argument, she felt a little guilty for trying to manipulate his emotions but if this didn't work she didn't know what she would do. "I forced you to come. Please don't hate me." She begged.

"Gabriella" Troy looked at her horrified "Of course I don't hate you I love you."

"But you didn't want to and I forced you" she continued the argument relieved that it was working. "And I dragged you into the shower and tried to undress you. I'd be really mad if you'd undressed me while I was lost in thought like that."

"I love you Gabi" Troy said kissing her "please don't do this to yourself, you didn't do anything to me that I wouldn't want you to do."

"I love you too" Gabriella smiled fondly "Okay I'll stop blaming myself if you will. We both enjoyed what we were doing and it got a little out of hand but that's okay. And it will be okay if it happens again too" she said.

"I guess" Troy said uncertainly "but you will be honest if I do something you don't want me to wont you?"

"I promise I will" Gabriella said lightly.

"Promise is a really big word Gabriella" he teased.

"Yes Troy I really do promise I'll tell you if I don't want to do something, but can you understand that what I'm comfortable with might change depending on how I'm feeling, sometimes what was okay last time might not be okay this time and sometimes things I freaked out about in the past I will want to try."

"Yeah I get that. It would be slightly easier with set rules but there really aren't any are there?" he asked

"I guess we could set some basic rules to start with."

"Such as... what rules would you want?" he asked.

Gabriella thought for a moment. "Don't take my clothes off unless I ask you to. Don't start anything unless we're alone and not going to be walked in on, particularly not when Chad or our parents are around. Don't start anything while I'm asleep." She felt a bit hypocritical with that last one but Troy just nodded.

"Is that all?" he asked surprised.

"Yeah I think so. Can you think of any rules we should have?" she asked.

Troy thought for a moment. "Definitely no fooling around at school I don't want to get dad in trouble. And no being too shy to tell me stuff or being afraid of hurting my feelings. If you don't like what I'm doing tell me, if you want me to go slower or faster or be more gentle or even to try a different way of pleasuring you whatever, or even if your just not into it at the time, let me know" He hesitated for a moment and then added "I thought you would want a rule about where I can touch you."

"You mean asking you not to touch my breasts or between my legs?" she asked

"Yeah." Troy waited for her verdict. He would be okay with it if she said not to touch at least then he would know the limits.

"I don't know Troy. I guess touching through my clothes is okay for now, and I'll tell you if I want more than that." Gabriella said thoughtfully "Are you okay with all these rules?"

"Yeah I feel better now I have some idea of what you don't want yet." He said smiling.

"I meant are you all right with having to wait to do those things?" she clarified.

"Gabi I love you I'll wait forever so long as you still let me hug and kiss you I'll be happy." Troy responded kissing her quickly on the lips.

"Oh I think we could do a little more than that." Gabriella smirked wickedly. She'd continued to lean against his groin throughout their conversation and while his erection had waned while he was upset earlier talking about the things he was allowed to do had reawakened it nicely. "I need to finish this shower."

"Do you want me to shower downstairs?" Troy asked immediately

"No Troy I want to finish what I started earlier if you're okay with that" Gabriella told him smiling.

"What do you mean?" Troy asked baffled he really had been out of it earlier and the extremely emotional discussion they'd had had put her earlier actions out of his thoughts.

Instead of answering Gabriella stepped back and hooked her hands into the waistband of his boxers. "May I?" she asked looking up at him pleadingly.

"Umm Sure... I... okay" Troy stuttered.

Gabriella drew down his boxers and knelt to help him step out of them. She reached dor the soap and sponge and slowly washed his feet and legs before turning him around to wash his back and bum. She asked "Do you want me to finish the rest?"

Troy groaned, "Gabi I don't know what to say I would like you to if you want but I might not be able to..."

Gabriella interrupted him with a kiss. "So long as you don't panic and go running off again it will be okay" she said.

"I won't follow you if you run outside in the nude" she told him firmly. "And you'll end up with pneumonia if you keep going out in the cold when you're dripping wet."

Troy laughed sheepishly "Okay I won't run off again" he said.

Gabriella discarded the sponge and lathering up her hands lovingly washed his testicles and penis.

Troy groaned and braced his hands against the walls of the shower "Gabi are you sure about this?" he asked urgently. "'Cause if not you need to stop right now." He said desperately trying not to come before he gave her the choice to stop.

"I'm sure Wildcat." She said squeezing slightly and speeding up her washing action. Troy moved his hands from the shower walls to Gabriella's hips pulling her a little closer. Not close enough to thrust against but to kiss her neck. He bit her softly and laved the wound with his tongue "Stop Troy don't leave a mark." She protested.

"Mmmm" Troy moaned in agreement leaving her neck and kissing his way down towards her breast. Nuzzling her camisole aside he sucked on the part of her breast he knew would always be covered by her clothing before moving down further and taking her satin covered nipple into his mouth. Moving his hands downwards he stroked her core through her pants.

"Troy" Gabriella groaned.

"Come with me Baby" Troy encouraged her rubbing a little faster and switching sides to tongue her other camisole covered breast the thin wet fabric no barrier to the heat of his mouth.

The vibrations of Troy's moan against her breast as he came triggered he own orgasm.

He pulled her into a tight hug as he leaned against the wall letting the warm water continue to run over them both.
