Rating- I don't want to have to bump this fic to an R, but there is R material in this chapter, as there was in the last. So I am warning you. There is content which could render you helpless.... or just pissed off with me, actaully Liby, cause she wrote this chapter. So if you are offended by sex or swearing X this box closed... But if you are not any of the above things... you may just like this chapter... take a read.

Chapter 36

I lumber slowly up the stairs, I don't even know what I'm doing here. I have the sense to turn around and go home, but I can't. Something's pulling me inside this house. Every muscle in my body aches and I can't see straight. I had to stay late with Elizabeth on a bowel resection. My head is throbbing, and that's not the only thing that's been throbbing either. I slip the key he left in my locker into the door. It pops open, the lights are still on. Well some of them, anyway. I close the door behind me and lock it. My heels hit the marble floor and echo through the empty house. I check the kitchen and den, of course he's not there. Why did he want me to come again? The stupid asshole's not even home. I walk towards Sebastian's room and open the door. I step in and in the dim light I see his sleeping form. I walk over to him and place a small kiss on his forehead. I tip toe out of the room and into Madison's next door. Well at least she hasn't burned the house down yet. I walk in and pull the covers over her body and close her window. If he's not trying to kill her, why the hell would he leave the window open. It's freezing. I walk out of that experience chilled to the bone.

I go up the stairs, unless he's already sleeping. Then I'll just leave. I get to his door, I push down on the handle very gently, hoping to god that he's asleep. I push the door open, almost unheard. But what I find is definitely NOT a sleeping Carter. I stand frozen in the moment. Okay so he hasn't had sex in a while. Well with a woman anyway. Isn't masturbation illegal in some religions? Meh, definitely not in my book. His eyes are closed, enjoying the moment all too well. I think he's oblivious to the world around him. But I would greatly enjoy watching Madison or Sebastian walk in on this. The carpet stifles the sound of my shoes as I make my way closer to him. He still has no clue that someone is in the room with him. As much as I hate to say it, this is strangely erotic. I silently slip off my shoes, leaving them in the middle of the room. His moans echo around the four walls, and everything I've felt in the last few weeks is definitely starting to take its toll. I can get up stairs. Yeah, I think this can work. I don't care anymore, heaven forbid I end up in his position. I've never had that happen. There's always some willing sucker. I need to get laid. And Carter's the man to do it.

Damn it. The door. It will have to wait.

As I get closer to him, I've got the full inspection. Not bad at all. A little chubby on the waist, but at least there's a bit of cushion. I grab his already clenched hands and he jumps a few inches off the bed. He has this terrified, scared, embarrassed look on his face, and it's almost kinda cute. His hands have long since gone, leaving me all the more fun. I slowly make my way on top of him, my hands working their magic. He wants to be embarrassed but the throbbing between his legs is making that a little hard. I sit on top of him and then lie down, meeting his lips in my own. His hands have started again, reaching for the buttons on my shirt and the clasps of my bra. The prefect day I chose to wear a skirt. It will make things ten times easier. My tongue shoots through his mouth, my body gearing for the anticipation. He starts to turn me around, I slam his shoulders down onto the bed. I don't think so sweetie. I'm in charge. He has this sickening little smirk along his face, and well, I'm done dealing with it. I push the black skirt along with my undies off and over the edge of the bed. My clothes are strewn all around the room. I run my hands along his body, slowly teasing him in all the right places. Holding it in for him is gonna be a challenge. So I've been told by Susan he hasn't gotten laid by a woman since his wife. That should be interesting. He takes my nipples between his fingers and starts teasing them. I lean forward toward his ear.

"Do with your mouth what you do with your fingers."

A smile spreads across the poor sap's face and believe me, that commentary was worth it. I'm still waiting for him to get aggressive. That's always the more exciting kind of sex. I lean down and place kisses on the one thing I know is harder than a diamond right now. His moans grow louder and longer. Suddenly I'm somehow underneath him. His lips run over my whole body and I lead him. My nails are digging into his back. Oh well. Pain for pleasure right? Nothing ever came without a price. Of course this might mean I'm popping a few Tylenol tomorrow. I can deal with that as well. His tongue does laps around my thighs, just do it already goddamnit. He comes back up, meeting my lips. I think he's just found out how badly I need this. And how hard I've had to work for him... Or it... Or whatever. Cut the formalities. Just get on with it sweetheart. I feel him slip between, fingers coming in and out. I can do that myself. I wish he would get the idea. He comes back up and I line his body up with mine. I hold on to his body as close as I can, arching my back into some type of position where its not going to hurt too much when he starts showing me what he's got. Or I start teaching him how its done. My legs wrap around his lower back and suddenly he's slowly going in. I start the rhythm, I know you've probably done it nice and slow before, but right now I need this hard. I can see the look on his face of pure joy, and my body is enjoying this as much as he is. My heart is pounding and I know I'm close. This is probably his third of the night. Since he seemed pretty happy with his hand before. The moment shoots through my body and I'm slowly gliding down to earth. He has the biggest goofiest grin on his face as he lies down next to me. He rests his head on the pillow next to me, his arm lying loosely against my stomach. He gives me yet another kiss as he settles on the soft sheets. I drape the covers over us and curl into his inviting arms.

"I'm still mad at you, I hope you know that." He nods his head and gives me another kiss.

"I hate you." He continues sucking on my bare shoulder.

"I love you, too." I reach for his lips and develop him into another round of tonsil hockey. Of course I'm going to win, but whatever he wants. His hands roam around my body. It feels like its been forever since the last time I was with a man. I break away from him

"One time and that's it? You're out of practice." He sticks his tongue out at me and I quickly catch it with my own. I tease him with my fingertips and he's breathing heavily, but I don't think he wants this to stop. I lean back against the pillow and he smiles at me.

"Make up sex is the best...." I slowly start to push away from him.

"Who said we made up? You were in need of help, and being the good friend that I am, I helped you." The inconsiderate bastard. Oh well. Men.

"Susan's also a good friend. And she's never done that." I pull a shirt off the floor and begin to sit up. As much as I want to stay here, I highly doubt that would be a good idea. I mean sex okay fine, big deal. But waking up next to him after sex is another story.

"Yeah.. Well... Susan's a prude."

I hear his laughter as I make my way to the door. I leave the rest of my clothes on his floor. I'll sleep in one of his twenty bedrooms tonight. I highly doubt that he will mind. I almost make it out alive. Well not completely. I hear someone's footsteps behind me. I turn around and see Sebastian at the edge of the hallway. Carter comes out the door, standing a few feet away from me. Thank god he wrapped something around himself. Too bad it had to be a sheet. Such a shame it looks like he has a pole hiding under the sheet.

"Seb." In his half-awake state he comes running towards me. He looks like he's about to fall, or plough into something. I quicken my pace and grab him into my arms.

"Mommy." I suddenly freeze at the name. I don't let Seb know this, but Carter's eyes look ready to do some damage. I rock Seb in my arms, he seems to be my shield right now. I did nothing to bring this on, I swear. I hear Seb take a deep breath and lay his head on my shoulder.

"Come on Seb, let's go to bed?" He nods his tiny head and I lead him into the bedroom next to Carter's. Its going to be a rough morning.

~Review Responses~

smilez4eva- lol we do it easily, only cause there is two of us, and we write three chapters a day on the weekend from time to time. We usually write about three to four chapters before we post any, just to get a head start. Although with Hate To Love and Back we became about thirty chapters ahead. In this fic, I don't think we will, we have school and much more that we didn't have then and do now. So I agree it can be hard. I'm glad to hear Molly's story is up and running:) I will be sure to read the next chapter you post.

tars- No problem, lol. You might have known some of that, I just thought I'd clarify everything for you. Maddie was a bit of a pain though, lol. So maybe she deserves what she gets, hopefully she won't do it again.

ER-Carby-Luva- lol thanks. We haven't really decided what their relationship is yet. We bounce it off the wall for a while. It stays undetermined.

march- LOL the guy has had no sex for three years lol, I'm pretty sure he'd take anyone... lol, but he prefers Abby lol.

Maven- lol every seems to like the preview lol, this chapter was amusing lol. It was funny reading it for me lol.

"Yeah for you." She approaches me, wrapping her arms around my waist, then slowly tracing her fingers down my pants too my...

"Hey, hey, hey... We are at work.. Unless you plan to finish me off, then you better stop." I shove her hand away, she responds by laughing into my chest planting a kiss on my scrub clad chest.
