Chloe stepped off of the elevator. She stood in front of the Black's penthouse. Inside she could hear muffled talking. Then she heard giggling. Chloe raised her eyes brows as the sounds got louder.

"Shawn" Belle gasped as he continued to torture her with tickles.

"Shawn" he said in his best impersonation of his girlfriend.

"Stop it!"

"Stop it!" Shawn continued to mock.

Chloe listened a while longer before she knocked.

"I'm coming" Belle tried to remove herself from Shawn's tight grasp. "Shawn, let go. I have to get the door."

"I guess I'm just going to have to come with you." He smiled as he held onto her small body. He began to kiss her neck, causing Belle to squeal even more.

Belle opened the door and found Chloe laughing behind it.

"My, you two are quite kinky." Chloe teased.

"Funny, this boy right here is going to get me in serious trouble one day. If my parents came home and saw him, like this, what do you think they would say?"

"Your parents love me" Shawn said, keeping his arms wrapped around her waist.

"They may love you now but if my dad found out what we did when we we're alone together, much less saw it, I don't think he would think very highly of you."

"Not to mention Brady. If he knew what you were doing to his little sister, I don't think he would be too happy either." Chloe interjected, smiling.

"I can handle Brady." Shawn said in a deep voice, puffing out his chest.

"Yes, and what planet would that be on?" Belle laughed.

"You two are a riot."

"Oh did we hurt your tinny tiny male ego?" Chloe said, pinching his cheeks.

Chloe and Belle laughed, watching Shawn, get annoyed.

"So where is my stud anyway?" Chloe asked.

"He's upstairs. I think he is working out. He has his music turned up really loud. Otherwise, he would have been down here already. Giving Shawn, the fifth degree."

"All right. I'll leave you two to go back to doing. Whatever it was that you were doing."

"Gee thanks. Shawn was just tickling me to death."

"Sure if that is what you guys call it. But where I'm from that's called foreplay." Chloe laughed while running up the stairs as pillows were thrown at her feet.

"Brady?" Chloe looked in his room but he was not there.

She went to the work out room and found him. He was laying down lifting weights. He had not noticed that she had come into the room.

His body was glistening with sweat. He had been pushing himself really hard to get back into shape. Already he had gained back most of the weight he had lost when he was in the hospital. Now he was concentrating on rebuilding muscle.

Chloe quietly walked up beside him. He saw her and put the weight back in the holder. He lay there, breathing heavy looking up at her.

"Hey. I didn't hear you come in."

"I know. Your music is awfully loud."

"Yeah. I turned it up when I heard Shawn and Belle laughing. It is better if I don't hear anything that way I will resist the urge to go down there and break Shawn's neck"

"Brady!"

"I can't help it. I know I'm being overprotective, but she's my little sister." Brady said, trying to gain Chloe's sympathy.

"You are so cute."

"I am not!" He blushed.

"Fine, your sexy"

"Sexy huh?"

"Definitely."

She climbed on top of him on the weight bench.

"Brady Black, you are the most caring, sensitive, loving, honest, sexiest guy in the world."

"Hmm I take it that means you like me"

"Oh, I don't just like you, I actually love you"

"Oh really? Well guess what? I actually love you too."

They laughed as she moved closer to him. She bent down and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.

Brady moved his hands so they were on her hips. The kiss became more intense. She pressed herself against his body. She wanted him so much. Still straddling him, she began to remove her shirt.

"Chloe" It came out as a moan but that was not what he had intended.

"Brady" She called back.

"Chloe, we... we have to stop" he was breathing hard and could not believe his own actions.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Except Belle is just down stairs and I feel kind of weird doing this while they're in the house."

"We can be quiet" She encouraged.

Brady laughed. "Chloe no you can't"

"What?"

"You know how you get."

"No, how do I get?" Chloe said, self-consciously.

"You know, what's the word...oh vocal."

"Vocal? Brady!" She gave him a swat on his arm.

"Chloe, you do."

Chloe thought about it. She had to admit. She had a hard time suppressing what she felt when they made love. "Fine I guess I do. But I know if I concentrate I can be quiet."

Brady and Chloe laughed together. Of all the things to be arguing about.

"I would feel better if they were gone."

"Fine."

Chloe got off of him and he got up.

"Aww, don't pout. I promise as soon as we have some time alone. No interruptions. I just want it to be special. You know it will be like our first time. Intimate."

Chloe could not argue with that.

"Brady, Chloe, we're leaving!" Belle called up the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Brady said, coming to the top of the stairs and looking down on them.

"Over to Shawn's house."

"Are Shawn's parents going to be there?"

Shawn started to speak but was elbowed in the stomach by Belle. "Yes they will"

"Fine." Even though Brady was not assured, he would rather pretend to believe her than face the reality. His sister was growing up but that did not mean he could not still pretend she needed him to look out for her.

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

The pair walked out of the door. They started kissing as the elevator went to the lobby.

"Why did you lie to him?" Shawn asked.

"What would you have preferred if I told him the truth? That way he would be sure to make us stay home. Therefore, ending our time alone at your place."

"I see your point."

They walked out the doors and went to Shawn's house.

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

"Okay so they're gone. Hmm, what could we do? Let me just think. What could we possibly do?" Chloe said, walking circles around Brady, until she finally grabbed him and pulled him into a passionate kiss. Brady responded with the same urgency.
