"Brady, I..I"

"Don't worry. You don't have to explain. You're getting back together with Philip, yadda yadda." Brady said, wiping his eyes.

"No Brady. You've got it all wrong" Chloe said moving closer to him. "God, why do I keep doing this? Every time there is something good happening in my life I have to go and mess things up"

"Huh?" Brady said confused.

"Well, when I saw Cheryl I thought that you and her...."

"We're together.." Brady interjected.

"Yes and I was just so hurt and then I came to the pier to clear my head and that's where I ran into Philip and then you came"

"So you and Philip are not getting back together?"

"Absolutely not"

"Good because I wouldn't want you to go down that destructive path again. Do you need a ride home?" Brady said, trying to relieve the awkwardness of the moment.

"Yeah sure. Brady?"

"Yeah?"

"Why did you come here?"

"What do you mean? I went looking for you"

"Why?"

"What do you mean why? Because you're my friend and I care about you."

"Is that all we are Brady? Friends?" Chloe said coming closer to him.

"I don't know..."

"Well what do you want? Because I know what I want. It's up to you. I've been ready to move to the next step for so long now. Brady, I'm sorry and not just for tonight. I'm sorry that I ever doubted you. That I ever thought I could find someone who measured up to you. Now I know Brady. I know that there is no one else like you. I was just scared. I never thought that I could have someone understand me so completely the way you do. I never wanted to hurt you but I know that I did. I can never take that back but I'd like to try to make it up to you. I want to be with you Brady."

"Chloe, you know how I feel. I even told you when you were still with Philip and you continued to hurt me. What if we start something and you decide that I'm not the one you want. That you want Philip back or some new guy?"

"I'm never going to get back together with Philip. He doesn't understand me. I don't feel for him what I feel for you. Brady I know what I want. I promise no more games"

"I can't imagine spending my life without you but I couldn't stand to have my heart broken like that again."

"Brady, I won't hurt you this time, I love you too much"

"You love me?" Brady said sounding surprised.

"I've always loved you. I think I loved you even the first time we met. So don't you see why I was so scared. I've never felt this way before let alone telling someone I loved them. But I can't hide it any longer. Brady, I love you"

Brady for perhaps the first time in his life was speechless.

Chloe stood there looking into Brady's eyes. Brady bent down and pulled Chloe into a hug, lifting her off the ground and swinging her around.

"I'm not afraid anymore, I love you, I love you, I love you" Chloe whispered into Brady's ear as he set her down.

"I love you too"

Their lips met. All the love, all the passion they felt seemed to be released into that kiss. They became lost in each other.

Brady broke away. "Wait, let's just take this slow. We have plenty of time" Then he resumed hugging Chloe and kissed her forehead.



***********************************

Chloe and Brady hopped into his jeep. With no set destination. It did not even matter where they ended up as long as they were together. Brady felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. It had taken them so long to finally get together.

He reached over and took her hand in his. He brought it up to his lips and gave her a gentle kiss. All he wanted to do was touch her, and hold her. They had to make up for lost time.

Finally the car rolled to a stop. They sat in his car in front of Chloe's house after driving around for an hour. Chloe made no attempt to get out of the jeep.

"Brady, I don't want to say goodnight. Not just yet."

"Chloe, you know if we don't say good night now, we're not going to be able to."

"I know."

"Chloe, I think I should leave."

"Please, don't Brady. We need each other, especially tonight."

Brady could not protest any longer. Chloe was not lying. He could see the desperation in her eyes.

Chloe led him into the house. She put her index finger to her lips, signalling him to be quiet. Guiding him up the stairs, she stopped when she stepped on a creaky floor board. Brady heard the noise and avoided that step. Taking two at a time the rest of the way up.

He followed her down the narrow hallway and into her bedroom. Chloe listened for any noises coming from her mother and Craig's room. To her delight there were none. She quietly closed the wooden door turning the lock afterwards. She faced Brady.

Brady was locked up in his own thoughts. Her actions were less than cautious. So uncharacteristic, for Chloe. What she had planned her already knew. Face to face with her in the darkness he knew he would never be able to deny her soft blue eyes the pleasure of his lips searing against hers. The only light streaming through the window from the full moon. Hitting the side of her face and casting shadows along the wall. He wanted to take things slow this time. One look at her ravishing beauty changed his mind. They needed to be together. He definitely knew his limits but that did not mean he would be able to abstain from this endeavour. He was addicted to her. He needed his next fix, just to sustain sanity.

Chloe pulled him against her, crushing her lips onto his. Brady pulled back from her intoxicating kisses.

"Chloe, we don't have to do this." The tenderness coming through in his eyes and voice.

"Brady, I want to."

"I think we should talk about it first." He said in a dull whisper, trying to keep his hands from touching her. "I don't want you to feel you have to prove anything to me. Chloe, I do love you, I never stopped."

"Brady, I know and I love you. That's just it. I want to be with you. I need to be."

She tangled a strand of his short hair in her fingers.

"What if Nancy or Craig wake up?"

"They won't." Chloe admonished, confidently.

"But what if...." Chloe cut off his protests, with another burning kiss.

Brady waved away all 'what if' scenarios and blended into the kiss.

All logic was lost. Caught up in each other the only thing they could think about was getting closer.


Her lips were sweet and satisfying. Too long had he gone without them and now he had claimed them. Chloe moved her lips down his neck. Nipping along the way at his ear lobes. Her tongue dipped into the hollow of his throat and glided along his collar bone. She removed his shirt and threw it down. His body just as hard and appealing as she remembered it, maybe even more so.

He buried his face into her long, dark hair. Gingerly sweeping it away from her neck. Replacing it with his lips. Experience had taught him to take things slow but at that moment it was taking everything in him not to take her right then.

His hands moved up her thin waste taking her shirt with him. She lifted her arms in response as he moved it over her head. The shirt was flung to the ground with his own. His mouth continued its exploration as he sat down on her queen bed, pulling her between his legs. His lips streaked down her torso, causing a wave of pleasure to surge through her system.

His hands wondered to the lace of her bra. He felt the soft mounds through the thin material. Expertly he unhooked the front clasp releasing her endowed form. Circling each nipple with his thumbs, she tilted her head back in delight. Closing her eyes as he licked and touched her. She felt herself being taken over by her own desire. Her own need to be filled with satisfaction.

Aware of the sensations he was creating. He moved his mouth away to nibble at her bare shoulders. Giving her some temporary relief from the aching temptation growing inside her. She lifted his face toward her. Covering her lips, his mouth parted under hers. Her tongue plunged into the shallow depth of his mouth.

He stood up, lifting her with him. She wrapped her legs around his strong torso. Her arms held on tight around his neck as their kiss became intense and needy. He walked her to the dresser and cleared the way before he set her down quietly. He was now centered between her legs. She could feel him hard leaning against her. She ran her hands down his back and hips. Fumbling over the front of his jeans before she undid his button and zipper that were keeping his pants up. Now free, he stepped out of them and quickly moved back to her, returning the favour. Lifting her up again to pull the denim loose. His hands rested on her bottom before he set her down again.

The feel of his bare flesh against her ivory skin was amazing. Now both adorned, in only a swatch of clothing. He stole her breath again as his lips and tongue entwined with hers. Her lungs were burning for air. His hands ran along her thighs. Playing with the only piece of thin material, she had left. Chloe moaned, a little too loud, as his finger slipped the elastic band past her hips. There was no mistaking the hunger in her eyes. She wanted him, more than she ever thought possible.

He tried to slow down his breathing when she moved her hand to the front of his boxers. He was already fully aroused and heavy when she took him in her hand. Slowly, deliberately, she stroked the length of him. Watching the expression on his face. He closed his eyes while she ran her hand along the taunt flesh. Breathing fiercely, he bit his lower lip. His reaction caused her own yearning to become more urgent. She could not explain it, she just knew she needed him to be inside her. She released his pulsating muscle and wrapped her arms around his neck as he picked her up.

They moved to the bed. He gently eased her down. His muscled body pressing her into the mattress before her regained his position above her. He propped himself up with his strong arms. Although she pulled him back liking his weight on her.

"I'm too heavy" He said concerned, looking into her eyes.

"I like the way you feel on top of me." She stated, seductively.

'If I lay completely on top of you, I can't do this." He said. Running his hand from her breast down her body.

Gently he touched her. His fingers showing the workings of an experienced lover. She was not prepared for the first wave that overtook her body. She trembled under him. Her body experiencing a rush of heat. His other hand went to her mouth. She bit down on his flesh to keep herself from screaming out. They had not forgotten they were in Chloe's bedroom. At any moment someone could demand entrance, crashing their exploits to a halt.

She arched her hips as the sensation continued. Then he stopped. He held himself above her, trying to create space between them.

"What's wrong?" Chloe said, alarmed. "Did you hear something?"

"No. But Chloe, we have to stop. I don't have anything this time."

She moved over and opened her night stand drawer. She pulled out a box of condoms. Taking one out of the box and opening the package. She slid it over his throbbing groin. It took all of his concentration not to call out at her sensual moves. Satisfied with her efforts she ran her hands up his chest. Brady got back on top of her and continued to search the recesses of her mouth with his tongue. Breaking away, she whispered into his ear. "Now."

Her voice sounded hoarse as she made her demand. Almost begging and he complied. He eased himself into her. Sending chills over her skin. Her body was tight and gripped the sides of him. His efforts were slow and concentrated at first. Her body arched under his as he moved, filling her insides. They began to move together. Her body rocked below his, as the speed was building and the heat was rising.

Chloe tried to remember to exhale between thrusts but it was hard enough to consciously try not to moan as she ascended to her peak. She knew why now, it had felt so wrong with Philip. It meant more with Brady not only because he was sensitive to her needs but because he actually knew her needs. They were not just having sex they were making love. It was an intimate expression of their love.

She trailed her fingers down his spine and rested her hand on his behind, catching him off-guard. He had almost lost it right there but slowed himself down. She tugged at him and he responded by deepening his efforts. Skyrocketing her into ecstasy as they came together. Now less hard inside of her, he pushed himself further giving her a final storm of pleasure. He relaxed on top of her. Their bodies were now sticky with sweat. She kissed his salty lips before he released himself from her walls.

He rolled over trying to keep his panting body quiet. Watching her do the same.

Chloe rested her head on his chest. Her hair, slightly damp from such rigorous activity. There were no words to describe the inexplicably delicious experience they just shared. Except for maybe one.

"Wow!" They both quietly stated, in the dark.

"I love you, Chloe." Brady gave her a kiss on the head and wrapped his arms around her. Pulling her naked body even closer to his.

"I love you too, Brady and I love how you make me feel. I've never felt this alive."

"And I've never felt this tired." Brady laughed, making Chloe giggle.

"I never knew it could last that long." Chloe said, her face flushed.

"Neither did I." Brady admitted, proud of their performance.

Chloe pulled the blankets over them and snuggled back against Brady.

They woke up to a knock on the door. The sun was up and the room was bright. Chloe looked at the clock. Ten o'clock it read. Chloe gently nudged Brady. He sat up when he heard the knock come again.

"Chloe, sweetheart. Aren't you coming down for breakfast?"

Chloe looked at Brady. He shrugged his shoulders. Chloe motioned to the bathroom. Brady got out of bed, still naked, and quietly walking into the pink room attached to her bedroom. Chloe could not help but to steal a glance of his firm butt as he went by. Chloe got up and grabbed her bath robe, draping it over herself.

The knocking persisted, getting louder.

"Chloe honey, are you okay? Why is the door locked?"

Chloe walked over and released the lock, slightly opening the door.

"I was just going to have a shower Nancy. I'll come down after that, for breakfast."

"Okay, but don't be to long."

"Okay" Chloe said, attempting to close the door.

"Oh and honey,..." Nancy said, coming back to the door. "..Belle called"

"Thanks. I'll be down in a bit."

Brady was waiting anxiously in the bathroom for Nancy to leave. He wrapped a towel around his nude figure. Just in case Nancy got suspicious and decided to do a search. He had to suppress his laughs as he imagined Nancy walking in on him, in all his glory. Chloe finally shut the door, locking it and walked into the bathroom. Brady grabbed her and led her into a kiss.

"That was too close." Chloe said, when she finally broke free. "I better hurry up and take a shower before she suspects anything is going on."

"Need some company?"

"Brady Black is that all you can think about?" Chloe gave him a light swat on his chest.

"Chloe, when it comes to you...."

"Don't even finish that sentence" She joked.

Chloe stepped into the shower with Brady behind her. She turned on the lukewarm water and stood under it. Brady took a bottle of shampoo from the side of the tub and massaged it into a lather. He pushed the wet length of it to the side and ran his tongue along her shoulder blade. Chloe let out a small whimper, and pressed herself against his body, when he reached his hand around her body and began to mold her breasts.

She turned to face him. She pressed him against the wall and bore her tongue into his mouth urgently. There was no doubt. He wanted her and she him. She stepped back, getting out of the shower and running back to her room grabbing a condom. The hot mist filled the bathroom air, fogging the mirror. She came back to the shower, handing it to him, while she turned the water down

For some people that might have ruined the moment but not for these two. If anything Brady was even more encouraged wanting them to be safe.

He lifted her up, kissing her neck and lips. Tucking his tongue along the planes of her breasts. She could not take it any longer. She plunged her body onto his. She moved up and down, rocking her body. His arms were getting weak, so he turned her around, so she was pressed against the wall. He continued his thrusts, they deepened their efforts and finally came in an exploding rush. Chloe ran her fingers through his wet hair, grasping it almost painfully as her body shook with a powerful orgasm.

Brady eased out of her and released her back to the shower floor. She clung to his body, still dizzy. He kissed her forehead while he tried to get back to normal breathing.

Chloe finished her shower alone while Brady got dressed in the same room. Chloe got out and he wrapped her in a plush towel.

"Come to the door in five minutes"

Brady nodded. He went out her window and climbed down the tree. He waited a few minutes before he rang the bell.

Chloe got dressed and rushed down stairs. She sat at the table with Craig and Nancy. She heard the bell ring and watched as Craig got up to answer it. Chloe sat there enjoying her fruit cup.

Craig opened the door to a smiling Brady.

"Oh, hello, Brady. Chloe's just eating breakfast, if you want to come in and join us."

"Thanks. That sounds great. I'm starved."

Brady and Chloe sat in front of each other with the goofiest grins on their faces.

Nancy noticed. "Why are you two so happy?"

"Oh, I don't know. I guess I just really love Ch...clementines" Brady winked at Chloe.

"And I just love Br....bananas." Chloe winked twice at the double reference.

Brady laughed out loud nearly chocking on his food, followed by Chloe.

Nancy looked at Craig for reassurance, but he just shrugged his shoulders in confusion.

One thing was for certain, fruit had never tasted so sweet.
