"Poor girl is lucky."
"I don't think she's so lucky. Both of her parents were murdered."
"We've got a call into DSS. She'll go into protective services."
"No, she's been through enough. She can come home with us." Judge Bill Stokes stated.
"All do respect your honor, this isn't protocol."
"I realize that Mike, but this girl has been through hell and her father was a friend of mine."
"Everyone this is Kylie. She's going to be staying with us for a while." Jillian Stokes said. "Everyone introduce your selves and get acquainted, I'm going to go see about dinner."
"Hey, I'm Nick. I believe we're in home room together." Nick smiled politely.
"Yeah, I think so." Kylie said shyly as she stared down at the floor and tucked a loose strand of brown hair behind her ear.
"Well, this is Audrey, Cassie, Laura, Ashley, Danielle, and Dalton." Nick said pointing to each of his sisters and his brother.
They all politely said hello.
"So what brings you to stay with us?" Laura asked.
"I'd rather not talk about it." Kylie replied quietly. Nick sensed Kylie was uncomfortable so he quickly changed the subject.
"Hey Kylie, why don't I show you around and show you where your room is?"
"Sure." With that Kylie followed Nick up stairs.
"You'll be staying here." Nick said once they reached the top of the stairs and started down the hallway and stopped in front the 2nd door on the left. "If you need anything, I'm right over there." He said pointing to the 1st door on the right.
"Thanks."
"The bathroom is right down the hallway. Mom and Dad, Cassie, Laura, Dalton and Ashley's rooms are down stairs."
"Good to know."
"Is there anything you need right now?"
"No, I think I'm just gonna go get settled in." Kylie said as she turned the door knob and walked into what would now be her room.
Nick stood outside for a few minutes staring at the closed door wondering what had happened to her. She had always seemed like a pretty nice girl at school even though he didn't know her all that well. He had noticed her plenty of times around school. She had several friends she usually hung around with. As far as he knew she didn't have a boyfriend.
After standing for a couple of seconds pondering his thoughts, Nick went back downstairs.
"Does anyone know what happened?" Ashley asked.
"I'm sure if she wanted you to know Ash, she would have told you." Dalton stated slightly annoyed as he flipped through the tv channels.
"Does no one else think it's kinda weird that mom and dad just bring her here and say she'll be staying with us but offers no reason why?" Ashley kept on.
"Just drop it Ash." Audrey said. "I'm sure we'll find out eventually.
Nick shook his head and went into the kitchen.
"Sweetie could you hand me the milk please?" Jillian as him.
"Sure Mom." Nick said as he opened the refrigerator and handed his mom the milk.
"How's she settling in?"
"I showed her to her room. She hasn't said much." Nick said as he took a seat at the kitchen table.
"You and Kylie go to school together, don't you?"
"We do."
"Keep an eye on her sweetie, she's been through a lot the last few days."
"What exactly is going on here mom?" Nick questioned.
"I can't discuss that with you honey." Jillian said with a sympathetic expression.
Over the course of the next few months Kylie settled in and adjusted to her life with the Stokes family. She'd become friends with all of the other Stokes kids however she was closest with Audrey and Nick.
"Hey Kylie we're going for a swim come on!" Nick said rushing into her room smiling.
"Ok, give me a minute to change." Kylie laughed.
A few minutes later Kylie met Nick and Dalton at the pool. Nick couldn't help but notice how pretty she was with her long brown hair and green eyes.
"Stop staring." Dalton joked.
"Huh?" Nick said realizing he'd be caught. "I wasn't staring." Dalton gave an all knowing smile and splashed his younger brother in the face with water. Nick retaliated by pushing Dalton under the water.
"Hey!" Kylie screeched as the boys splashed her.
"You're not afraid of the water are you?" Dalton teased.
"No." Kylie stated matter of factly.
"Jump in then." Nick chimed in.
Kylie stuck her foot in the water above the top step. "I don't know." Kylie said teasing. "Seems a little cold."
"Oh come on, it's not bad."
"Yeah, you get used to it really quick, just jump in."
"I think I'm just gonna stay here." Kylie said smirking.
"Oh yeah?" Dalton questioned. "You're missing out."
The two boys acted like the didn't care as they shared a knowing look. Both of them started towards the steps.
"What are you doing?" Kylie nervously laughed.
"Nothing." Nick said innocently as the two jumped toward Kylie pulling her into the pool.
"Oh my God! This is water is cold!" Kylie yelped as she came up sputtering water.
Both boys laughed. "So you think it's funny?" Kylie said in mock anger as she splashed them both.
After a while of splashing around. Dalton finally said, "I'm going to get lunch, yall want anything?"
"Nah, I'm good." Nick replied.
"Me too." Kylie said.
"Ok, see ya." Dalton said getting out of the pool.
Kylie climbed on a float. "Its nice to be able to relax and forget about things for a while."
"You never told me what happened to your parents." Nick said gently. "I mean you don't have to if you don't want to."
"They were killed. I don't know who or why." Kylie said quietly.
"I'm sorry. I can't even imagine how hard that has to be." Nick moved closer to Kylie, leaning on her pool float.
"Don't dump me off." Kylie said apprehensively.
"Relax, I got you." Nick said softly.
Kylie layed her head back against the cool vinyl of the pool float, letting the warm sunshine wash over her as Nick floated beside her.
"I feel safer when you're around." She said after a few minutes. The comment took Nick by surprise. He lifted his head up to look at her. She was still laying on the float, eyes closed.
"I think I will have some lunch now." Kylie said sitting up on the pool float finally looking at Nick, his dark hair glistening from the water, that infectious smile and those warm brown eyes. Kylie felt her breath catch a little.
"Mind if I join you?"
"Be my guest."
With that the two headed into the house. Nick looked in the refrigerator as Kylie tied her towel around her wet swim suit in an attempt to keep the water from dripping to the kitchen floor.
"Did Dalton go out for food?" Kylie asked as she looked around.
"Yeah, I hear his car pull out a little while ago. Looks like it's just us." Nick said still rummaging through the fridge. "I'm not the best cook in the world but how about some French toast?" Nick laughed.
"Umm, sure why not." Kylie said amused. "Here let me help." Kylie moved to the refrigerator to take the milk and eggs from Nick so he could get the other ingrediencies. As Kylie grabbed the carton of milk, her hand brushed his and their eyes locked together.
"I'm sorry." Kylie stammered.
"Don't be." Nick said as he leaned forward and softly kissed her. Kylie closed her eyes, and slightly parted her lips allowing Nick to kiss her as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
After a few seconds he pulled back looking at her. "I've wanted to do that for a while."
"Why didn't you?" She asked curiously.
"Wasn't sure how you'd feel about it." He answered honestly.
Kylie responded by pressing against him and kissing him again. Nick eagerly kissed her back lacing his fingers into her hair pulling her closer. When they parted both of them were slightly out of breath.
"If we stay down here we might get caught." Kylie said. Nick grabbed her hand and led her upstairs to his room. He closed the door and gently pulled her over to his bed, sitting on the edge. He turned to face her before kissing her again. This time he gently pushed her back against the pillows, slightly covering her body with his.
"Is this too much, do you want me to stop?" He asked worried that things were going too fast.
"No." She whispered as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Nick kissed her, their tongues swirling together. He slid a hand between the two of them to unfasten her towel, letting it fall from around her to the bed. She shivered slightly as the cool air rushed over her damp body.
"Cold?" Nick questioned looking up to meet her gaze.
"A little."
Nick positioned himself on top of her. "Warmer?"
"Mmhmm."
He leaned in kissing her again. This time when he left her lips he trailed kisses across her jaw line to her neck. Kylie's breath caught as he kissed the side of her neck below her ear. Nick smirked and kept going. He reached behind her to untie her bathing suit top. Kylie lifted slightly giving him better access before sinking back down to the mattress.
A million thoughts were running through her head as he heart felt like it would beat right out of her chest. She wanted Nick more than anything but at the same time she was nervous, she'd never had sex before. Would it hurt? What if… She took a deep breath calming herself. She knew Nick wouldn't do anything to hurt her. She knew he wouldn't do anything she didn't want him to do.
"What's wrong?" He asked gently placing soft kisses on her face.
"I've never…" She started and trailed off.
Nick looked at her, his eyes gentle and serious. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to, I'll stop."
Kylie tightened her arms around his neck. "No, I want you to." She looked him in the eye, "Just go slow."
He nodded, "I'll go slow and if you change your mind just tell me to stop."
Nick removed her swim suit top from around her neck. Suddenly Kylie felt self-conscious and blushed. Nick kissed her again, long and deep before whispering, "You're beautiful."
Kylie's cheeks grew a darker shade of pink as she averted his gaze. He kissed her again as he ran his thumb over her hardening nipple. Kylie's eyes closed as a small moan slipped past her lips. Nick circled her nipple with his thumb before moving his hand lower down her body, across her flat stomach to her swim suit bottom. He didn't want to rush into this too fast and scare her so instead of sliding his hand into her swim suit bottom, he traced his fingers across her thigh as he started kissing his way down her body. First her neck and then her chest, stopping to lightly suck on her nipples. Kylie softly moaned again. Nick continued down, trailing kisses across her stomach until he reached her bathing suit bottoms. He looped a finger into each side of the thing material and slowly pulled down. Kylie lifted her hips helping him to remove the bottoms. Nick said up admiring her as he tossed her swim suit bottoms to the floor with her top.
"Stop staring." Kylie said blushing again.
"I can't help it. You're just so beautiful." He said as he laid back down. Rubbing his hand across he stomach and lower until he reached between her legs. He lighted pressed the inside of her thigh cueing her to spread her legs open wider. He kissed her as his fingers danced across her inner thigh to her most intimate spot. She tensed slightly as she felt him pressing at her opening with his finger.
"Relax. I won't do anything to hurt you. I promise." He said soothingly as he circled his thumb over her clit, once again enticing a moan from her. "Feel good?"
"Yeah." She breathed out finally relaxing under his touch.
Nick took that as his cue to continue. He slowly eased one finger inside, moving in and out in slow deliberate motions, gauging her response in the process. Kylie opened her legs a little wider, giving Nick full access to her most private area. At this point Nick slide in a second finger while once again circling her clit with his thumb. Kylie moaned again. Nick slide his fingers in and out in a slow rhythm building her arousal, getting her used to the feeling of something inside of her.
Nick sat up removing his swim trunks before laying back down, covering Kylie with his own body. He kissed her softly. "Are you ready?"
She nodded nervously. Nick positioned himself to enter and he pressed in slowly. Kylie bit her lip and closed her eyes.
"Hurt?" Nick asked stopping immediately. Kylie's eyes flew open.
"No, don't stop!" Nick slid the rest of the way in, pausing to look at Kylie.
"Are you ok?" He asked softly.
Her eyes fluttered open and she slightly squirmed beneath him. "I want more." He took that as his cue to start moving slowly. Letting the arousal between them build. Before long Kylie had her arms wrapped around his neck and her back slightly arched. Nick buried his face in the crook of her neck, breathing in her scent. Finally with a soft groan he came. He softly kissed her one more time before rolling to the side and pulling her close.
After a few minutes of calming his breathing down he asked, "How do you feel?"
"I'm good." She smiled. At that time they heard a car door close. Nick's head jerked to see the clock on his bed side table.
"Damn. Mom is home." Kylie quickly jumped up wrapping her towel around her, grabbing her swim suit and running across the hallway to her room. She threw everything down, grabbed the clothes she had laying on her bed and ran off to the shower, while Nick redressed.
