(Happy Saturday to you all. Hope you enjoy the update. For any who are interested Jade Rose and I will be soon posting a new story we are co writing together. It will be supernatural and the pairing will be Dean/John Dean/Seth with some Roman/Randy added in later. We are having a blast writing it.)

It was early morning. The room was still shrouded in darkness when Roman began to mumble in his sleep. His head tossed from one side to the other, his face twisting in a grimace of pain. John woke out of a deep sleep when Roman's body brushed his as his head moved. He looked at his boyfriend, wondering if he should wake him or let him ride it out. He ran a hand through Roman's tousled hair. Roman winced, making an audible sound of pain. It was only a few moment longer before his eyes opened, letting out a scream. He shot up in bed, looking around in the darkness. Sweat coated his face as his heart wanted to race.

John jumped at the scream. He had never heard Roman seem that afraid. "What is it, Baby?" He asked, reaching for Roman in the dark room. Roman jumped at the touch, giving a gasp as he pulled away before looking. His pale eyes were wide in the darkness, his heavy breaths heard in the still air. His hand reached out in the direction the touch came. He felt John's chest. "Jo-Johnny?"

"Yeah it's me, Rome." John tried to keep his voice soothing. "Are you okay?"

"Uh...yeah...yeah." He almost panted as he tried to lay back down. He drew a hiss as his back hit the bed.

"What's wrong, Rome? You sound like you're hurt." John was concerned as he moved close to his boyfriend.

"I'm sure...it's...it's nothing. Maybe I took a bump wrong tonight." Roman tried to reason.

"Why did you scream? Was it a nightmare?" John wanted Roman to share with him so he could be supportive.

"Yeah." Roman whispered with a sigh.

"Want to talk about it?" John offered but didn't push.

"Not sure...wh-what to say." Roman shifted uncomfortably on the bed.

"It's okay, Baby. You don't have to. Let's just go back to sleep." John tried to reassure him.

"I don't know if I can Daddy." Roman told him honestly."But you can." Roman slowly moved, wincing as he did so he could rest his head on John's arm, just wanting to feel him close.

"Okay." John wasn't convinced Roman was okay but there was nothing he could do if the younger man wouldn't tell him what was wrong. He closed his eyes and tried to drift off. Roman laid there in the quiet darkness. He tried to grab comfort from John's deep steady breaths. Every time his eyes drifted he tried not to jump as they shot back open again. He had a feeling the pain in his back...as well as other parts of his body was not from the ring but how could he share that? He felt his body want to shiver and he couldn't decide if he wanted to get closer to John in hope of warmth or pull away to prevent waking the older man again.

John had managed to go back to sleep, his chest rising and falling as he rested. Roman opted to move away. He slipped from the bed, heading for the bathroom. He moved to fill the tub hoping a warm bath would chase the chill he was feeling. John mumbled, waking up when he felt the bed move. "Rome?" He called but there was no answer. He saw the bathroom light on so thought maybe his boyfriend had to relieve himself. Roman kept wanting to shiver, almost feeling like he was dunked in ice. He just hoped the steamy water would chase it away. He shut the water once it looked like it was full enough. He slowly stepped in. He grunted in discomfort as he lowered in the water and his body made contact.

When his boyfriend never returned after a few minutes John started to worry. He climbed out of bed and walked to the bathroom, squinting as his eyes adjusted to the light. "Baby. You okay?"

"Honestly...no." Roman replied with his eyes closed. His normal deep complexion seemed slightly washed out, almost ashy. Even in the hot water he felt like his teeth wanted to chatter.

John took in the Samoan's complexion as he walked closer to the tub. "Baby, you look like you're coming down sick. You may have a fever and chills."

"I...I feel cold." Roman admitted even as the water steamed around him.

John felt Roman's forehead taking in how cold and clammy it was. "Rome, you're getting sick. You may not be working tomorrow."

"Had off...anyway." Roman commented, opening his eyes. They looked unfocused. "Bu-but want to play wi-with you guys." He told him. "Th-thats why it's doing this."

Shock filled John's eyes at the words. "The demon's doing this? How do you know?" To his knowledge the entity had not hurt Roman before.

"The...nightmare." Roman slowly shifted. "I...I was thinking of asking you guy...to...um...make me the center of the play tomorrow. Gu-guess it didn't like not being in control again after I had already let you top me once." He closed his eyes, breathing through the pain. "So...it..it was making me feel a hint of getting used...his way."

"Fuck...I'm sorry, Baby." John didn't know what to do or say. "Yeah...that time it took you over in the shower it told me it had allowed you to bottom the night before...like it was a big deal. Guess it gets pissed at being submissive."

"I...still want to." Roman told him. He opened his eyes. "Sorry I ruined your sleep. I know you have a busy day."

"It's okay, Baby. I'll deal." John only cared Roman was okay. "I know you want to...but it's not worth it to be this sick is it?"

"It will pass." Roman bit his lip. "Hon-honestly I...I think I may be in shock more than being sick.."

"Won't playing with a pissed off demon be dangerous?" John tried not to be afraid. "Last time I topped it...raped me in the shower the next day to make up for it."

"It did this...to try to sc-scare me." Roman bent to try to start draining the tub. When he moved long red lines could be seen trailing down his back.

"Damn...your back, Babe." John couldn't help exclaiming. "When it played with me there was rarely marks."

"There are...but not visible to the naked eyes." Roman explained with a sigh. He slowly moved to try to stand. "It wants to scare me...but I want no regrets."

"I get that." John never brought up what he was truly afraid of again. That the pissed off demon would hurt him or the guys.

"How should I bring it up to them?" Roman asked as he carefully climbed out.

"Just be up front. They're pretty cool guys and we put up with each other's whims and wants." John told him.

"Dean already looks at me like I have two heads." Roman commented as he grabbed a towel.

"Yeah but this isn't anything supernatural." John chuckled. "They'll be shocked but will probably enjoy it."

"I mean even with my dinner choice tonight." Roman told him.

"Don't worry about Dean. You have the right to do what you want." John and Roman walked back to the bedroom.

"How long until your alarm goes off?" Roman asked.

John glanced over at his phone. "Damn. Only an hour and a half. Not really time to go back to sleep."

"I'm so sorry, Daddy." Roman voice reflected his sincerity.

John gave Roman a smile. "Don't feel bad, Baby. I'll just take my morning shower and relax awhile."

"Okay, Daddy...you get to make a bunch of kids happy today." Roman smiled before he moved to sit on the bed.

John gave a huge grin as he gathered clean clothes. "Yeah. I love the kids."

"And they love you." The Samoan sounded almost proud of his boyfriend.

John chuckled, holding clothes. "Be back, Baby. I won't be too long."

"Should I order an early breakfast?"

"Um...we could I guess. I know Seth has a full day today at Access." John said.

"Double western with bacon and juice?" Roman checked.

"Sounds good, Baby." John took off to enjoy his warm shower.

Roman searched for his track pants from the night before. He slipped them on before heading for the main room. John began to wake up as he took a warm shower. He knew he had time to kill so he indulged in one of his favorite activities...jacking off. Fantasies of being used by Roman, Seth and Dean filled his head as he stroked himself, breathing heavily. Randy jokingly called John a slut for a reason. He had a craving for sex that never seemed to slow down.

Roman stopped, seeing Dean on the couch watching TV. "You're up early."

Dean looked over. "Yeah Seth is in the shower. Wanted to make sure he didn't oversleep today."

"Getting ready to order breakfast." The Samoan told him.

"Sounds good...can you add a stack of pancakes to that? I guess an egg white omelet for Seth."

"Okay." Roman headed for the phone.

"Fuck, Man. Who got a hold of you last night?" Dean exclaimed at the marks on Roman's back.

"Nothing...it's fine." Roman replied.

"If you say so, Man." Dean didn't sound too certain.

Seth came out into the front room a bit later, his hair damp and pulled back into a bun. "Hey, Rome. We all got up on time today." He joked.

"Yeah even though Dean and I have off." Roman stated. "John's showering."

"I had Rome order you egg white omelet." Dean told him.

"Added cut fruit too." Roman told them.

"Sounds great. Thanks, Guys." Seth saw Roman's back as he moved and let out a gasp. "Damn, Rome. You and John play rough last night?"

"Well, I had a rough night. Um can I talk to you guys about something?" Roman asked.

"Sure, you should know that." Dean stated as Roman moved to a chair.

Seth nodded, sitting down too. "Go ahead, Rome." He wondered what was wrong now.

"It's about later today." Roman started.

"You're not backing out are you?" Dean asked.

"No...no quite the opposite. I...um...how to put this." Roman debates the right wording. Seth just waited to see what Roman would say. Roman huffed a breath. "I want to...um be the center of the action."

"What you mean the center?" Dean asked.

"I'm not sure how else to word it." Roman told them.

Seth was almost afraid to ask it was so bizarre. "You want to be the submissive one...like John normally?"

"Uh...yeah. Maybe not as harsh as John...maybe more like when your bottom Seth." Roman tried to explain. Dean just sat there, slightly stunned.

Seth licked his lips. "Uh...yeah. I'm willing. Just didn't think it was your thing."

"It's not...but everyone should experience both sides of things." Roman tried to rationalize.

"Do you have things in mind you want us to do?" Seth couldn't help almost salivating at the thought of getting to tie Roman.

"Not really...just...sorry to dampen your fun, Dean...there will be lube." Roman answered.

"Fuck...you said like Seth." Dean stated with a shrug.

Roman stood up. "Be right back." Roman headed for the bedroom to find John. John was leaning against the shower wall as he still stroked his hard cock. He didn't realize how much time had passed as the older man liked to take his time and tease himself. He pictured Roman's fierce gaze in his head as he gave his balls a twist, groaning.

Roman's face twisted in a smirk as he heard the groan over the water. He walked over, standing by the door. "Now are you thinking about me Daddy?" He asked in a slow drawn out fashion.

John was jarred from his fantasy, jumping at the voice as his hand dropped from his cock. "Fuck, Baby. When did you come in?"

"Just a moment... Food should be here soon. Aren't you waterlogged yet?" Roman laughed.

"No." John was embarrassed he had lost track of time. "Sorry, Baby. I just need a few minutes."

"It's fine." Roman tried not to chuckle. "The guys are up. I'll hang with them." He headed back for the main room, smirking and shaking his head.

Seth looked when Roman came back in shaking his head. "What's up, Rome? John still hogging the bathroom?"

"Yeah." He chuckled.

"What the fuck...you said a shower...he is taking longer than Seth." Dean joked.

"He's having personal time." Roman tries to tastefully explain.

"Shit, he gets off so much he could supply a whole sperm bank." Dean exclaimed with his usual lack of tact.

Roman just made a face before moving to sit. Seth shook his head at Dean's lack of tact. "Nah, John's just one of those guys with a healthy sex drive. It doesn't hurt anything."

"Healthy is putting it mild. He is like a teenager." Dean exclaimed.

"Yeah, funny he is the oldest." Seth conceded.

"Age is just a number they say." Dean replied.

"Yeah and I feel downright ancient at times." Roman stated almost sadly.

"Oh, knock that shit off, Rome." Dean told him.

"I'm being honest, Guys." Roman leaned forward, resting his arms on his legs. He knew they would not understand. Seth didn't know how to respond so he just gave Roman a sympathetic look.

A few minutes later John came in, smelling fresh and dressed for the day. "Hey, Guys."

"Hey, John boy." Dean replied. "All relaxed for your busy day?" He laughed.

John grinned, knowing by Dean's tone he was found out. "I'm good for now thanks." He took a seat.

Dean chuckled. "Damn, Rome. Wipe the sour look off."

Roman sort of grunted. John looked at Roman's expression and grew serious, the goofy grin fading. Had his boyfriend been annoyed to see him jacking off? "Something wrong, Rome?"

"Na...just feeling tired." Roman sighed.

"He's complaining he feels like an old man." Dean told John. John nodded. He knew the feeling himself lately. Their food finally came and the guys ate before John and Seth had to leave for Access. John kissed Roman and Seth kissed Dean and then they headed out. Time came closer for Dean's lunch meeting. He paced with nerves.

"Relax, I'll be in the bedroom listening. If anything happens I'll be right there." Roman tried to reassure Dean. Earlier in the day they got the fridge stocked and they waited on the phone call. When it came time Roman vanished to his room with his own lunch. Amanda showed up. She and Dean talked and ate. She was more polite and civil than Dean expected when they would be alone. She had to leave for work and Dean could finally relax. Roman came back to join him.

"She seemed truthful." Roman stated.

Dean looked at him. "You really think so?"

"Yeah, trust me...I tend to have good intuition with these things." If Roman thought or felt she was dishonest and trouble she would have been one last hit before ridding himself of the demon inside. The day passed in a flurry of activity for both John and Seth at Access. They signed autographs, had a Q and A with fans and John made some kids very happy. Late that evening they finally rode back to the hotel.

Dean found out from Seth when they would be back in and Roman ordered up dinner for all of them so they wouldn't need to wait too long to eat after a long day. A little later John and Seth came in, seeing Dean and Roman waiting. "Hey, Guys." John greeted as he took off his shoes and hat, tossing it aside. "It was fun but damn...long day."

Seth nodded his agreement. "And fans are crazy as shit this week. I couldn't decide if they wanted to kick my ass or rip off my clothes and have their way with me." John gave a hearty laugh at that.

"Well, food should arrive any moment. Grilled salmon with a rice pilaf for you, Seth. John the porterhouse with sauteed mushrooms and onions, grilled vegetables on the side." Roman informed them.

"Sounds great. Thanks." John smiled gratefully as he moved to take a seat. Despite being tired Seth felt playful as he neared Dean. He gave almost a growl and jumped on his sitting boyfriend's lap.

Dean yelped being caught off guard. "Someone is in good spirits." He commented as he grabbed a hold of Seth before he could fall off his lap.

Seth laughed. "Yeah I'm in a playful mood I guess."

"I guess that will come in handy with your big mouse later." Dean laughed.

"Gee thanks, Dean." Roman commented as he moved to sit in the other chair.

"What getting cold feet?" Dean looked over at him.

"NO...no I didn't say that." Roman replied.

Seth licked his lips as he looked at Roman. "Um...am I allowed to tie you up, Rome?" It seemed too good to be true. John chuckled at how hopeful Seth sounded.

"Yes, Seth...Like I tried to explain...sort of like how you like to be played with...not as harsh as Dean or John." Roman told him.

"Yeah he even had me help him set the bed restraints up again if we wanted to use them on him." Dean smirked.

"Fuck." Seth almost whispered. The thought of the strong Samoan restrained was almost enough to make him instantly hard. It was a thing he only fantasized about. "You mind being in charge, Baby?" The two tone haired man just wanted to enjoy and take it all in.

"I think it is sort of a mutual thing." Dean stated. "I guess I can play orchestrator even though any of us can speak up including Rome himself."

There was a knock on the door. "Guess I'll get it." Roman got up heading for the door opening it for room service. When he stood the guys could see most of the welts had already faded from his back.

"Damn, he heals fast." John mumbled.

Dean looked over at John. "What happened anyway?"

John didn't know if he should share but they never kept secrets from their friends. "Demon did it to him last night. Trying to show him who's boss I guess."

"How the fuck did the demon hurt him?" Dean asked as his heart wanted to thump his chest hard. Roman sighed, hearing him as he came back over. Dean looked over at him. "You just cared to not inform us of this Rome? What the fuck?"

"I knew you would blow up." Roman told him.

"So you are willingly letting the three of us play with fire here. We knew before if we let ourselves be played with by that thing. You do something to piss it off that it can even take it out on you!? Screw playing with fire...you fucking throwing us into the furnace." Dean as almost shaking with a mix of fear and rage as he still held Seth on his lap. He lowered his head, resting it against Seth, panting to calm himself.

John looked regretful at Roman thinking maybe it wasn't his place to have shared the information. Seth tried to stay calm as he stroked Dean's hair. "If you drink something, Rome will it be safe?"

"It should be...I already have been on and off after Dean's meeting." Roman told them. "I don't think it likes feeling...used and well it is along for the ride I decide to take. Just a few more days and it can go raise hell somewhere else."

"Guess the restraints are a good idea then." John tried to be positive. He just hoped he wouldn't bare the brunt of the demon's wrath the next day or that night.

"Could they really hold it?" Dean asked in almost a mumble behind Seth.

"Know what, Guys...forget it...just forget it." Roman blurted out. "Just go eat." He headed for the bedroom, almost slamming the door.

John lowered his head, tears wanting to wet his eyes. He hadn't meant to fuck everything up. He was just trying to be honest. Seth sighed, not knowing how to handle the situation. Dean slowly lifted his head. "John...can you blame my reservations? This is the second time he had not told us about something involving that thing? How much blind faith should we give him? It's not just one of us...but all of us he may be placing at risk."

"I understand." John said, his voice breaking. "I don't blame you. Just seems we can never be happy. One fucking day can't go by without Rome being reminded that this might be his last week alive." He swallowed hard, silent sobs wanting to shake his shoulders.

"Is that the whole reason he is making all these changes?" Dean asked, oddly puzzled.

"Imagine you think this is your last week." Seth spoke as John couldn't trust himself to speak at the moment. "He doesn't want any regrets I guess."

"I see your point...his point. The thing is we are talking about all of our well being here. If it is pissed enough to somehow hurt him...which I still don't know how that happened what could it do to us if we do it?" Dean demanded.

"I don't know." Seth had to admit.

John stood up, wiping his eyes. "I need to go check on him." He took off for the bedroom.

When John reached the room Roman was standing by the window just looking out. He didn't seem to hear John when he entered. John walked closer to Roman, his stomach in knots. "I'm...I'm sorry, Rome. It wasn't my place to tell them."

"Dean was right." Roman stated. "I tried to avoid the subject...I knew what I was doing, but I did it anyway. I was wrong...selfish." His gaze was still out the window. "I had no right to do that."

John sat on the bed, rubbing his forehead. "I don't know what to say, Baby. I'm trying to be supportive of you."

"Do you have the same reservations? Same fears they do? Well, at least Dean does. Seth didn't speak up either way."

"Of course I wouldn't be human if I didn't, Baby." John answered. "But I wanted to do it anyway. I was looking forward to our play session all day."

"I know you don't want to alone, Daddy...I won't force them though. I was wrong not being honest." Roman said with conviction.

John nodded, his head pounding from stress. "We should...go eat."

"Go on...I...I may be out in a bit." Roman told him.

"I'm not going without you." John said stubbornly. "I've lost my appetite anyway." He got up and began to strip out of his dirty clothes to put on something comfortable.

Roman's head dropped more, his hair falling over his face. "Why do you put up with me?" He almost whispered.

"I love you." John said simply as he slid on a pair of shorts. "We put up with each other."

"I just bring everyone down. Without me you three would just carry on the fun without batting an eyelash." The larger man sounded almost numb in his tone.

A look of hurt came into John's eyes as he looked at Roman. "That's what you really think of me? That if you were gone I'd just say 'Oh well' and go have a good fuck with the guys? Because that's a damn lie."

"I meant if I never came into the picture." Roman tried to explain.

"Well, you're in the picture and you're stuck with me." John retorted. "Sure we would have fun but I would have never found love."

"Yeah...I guess." Roman felt so much guilt and regret.

Meanwhile Seth was trying to reach his spooked boyfriend without driving him away. "I think we should give Rome a chance, Baby. He needs this."

"Aren't you scared about retaliation? We still have...what four days to deal with it's rearing it's ugly head. I've seen that thing….John has seen it. I am sorry but do you remember the mess I was that night?" Dean asked.

Seth nodded. "I do, Baby. I won't force you...but drinking does seem to help."

"You determined to give him this experience...and yourself as well aren't you?" Dean gave a sigh.

"Yeah. I've always wanted to..." Seth's voice trailed off.

"What is it, Kitten? What else is on your mind?" Dean asked as he tried to move Seth to look at his face.

"Just thinking...if I don't do this for Rome and he doesn't make it past Sunday I'll feel like shit." Seth answered quietly. "Of course I'm scared too...but excited at the same time."

Dean pursed his lips before huffing a breath. "All or nothing I guess."

"Try to enjoy it, Baby." Seth nuzzled Dean's neck. "Imagine...Rome at our mercy to play with."

Dean shifted in his seat. "Now you're playing dirty and I already agreed."

Seth looked sheepish. "Sorry, Baby. Just excited." He looked at the cooling food. "Uh...are any of us going to eat?"

Dean looked. "Should we get them...let Rome know he still gets to be your big mouse?"

Seth laughed, climbing off Dean's lap. "Our mouse, Baby and yeah."

"Well, you're the cat." Dean swatted Seth butt to move so he could get up to head to the master bedroom. He knocked and waited.

John opened the door, his eyes looking red rimmed and troubled. "Hey. Come on in."

Dean walked in looking to see Roman by the window. "We...I'm sorry I blew up Rome."

"You were right, Dean. It was wrong to not tell you what happened." Roman replied, still not turning.

"We decided to still do it anyway." Dean told him. Roman lifted his head, but was unsure what to say. He wanted this to be a new experience for them all not an act out of pity or guilt.

"I'm...looking forward to it." Seth spoke up since Roman seemed unconvinced. "I told Dean awhile back it would be hot to see you restrained."

"You both really sure?" Roman asked.

"Yeah...now let's eat before our food is too cold." Dean replied. The guys walked back to the main room and sat down to eat. John felt a little better as he cut into his steak. Dean had a double thick steak burger with onion rings. Roman had a meal matching John's.

Seth enjoyed his salmon even if it was a little cold. After they had all finished eating John looked at Dean and Seth. "You guys will have to tell me what to do. I hate being in charge in bed." He paused. "I do admit the thought of seeing my boyfriend all helpless for you two is sexy."

"Well, you won't be left out, John...I have a place in mind for you." Dean told him.

"Okay. Sounds good." John gave Dean a smile.

(Sorry to cut off the scene but the update was getting super long. I will try to post part two tomorrow if you are all good. LOL)
