Author's Note: Now that you know what's going on (kinda) to keep confusion at a minimum, everyone is keeping the same name even if they're not technically themselves. I'll try to edit things so that it's clear what's going on. Thanks for reading! I hope you're enjoying it.

CHAPTER FIVE

"What the Hell is going on?" yelled Lucas who was now somehow inhabiting the body of his younger brother Philip. He had jumped clear off the couch and to the other side of the room and kept looking around wildly to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

Belle of course was completely confused. She couldn't understand why he had stopped when they were both so turned on by each other. "Philip, what's wrong. We were doing great...weren't we?" As the reality of the situation became apparent, she was starting to regret being so bold with him. Maybe she was doing everything wrong. He was obviously very experienced. 'No, that can't be it. I watch a lot of daytime television. I know I'm doing it right. Besides, I may not be Nicole Walker but I can tell when a guy is turned on...well, I'm pretty sure I know. He's probably just trying to protect me still and make sure I don't rush into having sex.'

But unfortunately for Lucas, Belle had started this and she wasn't going to give up without a fight. She may be a virgin but now that she had set her sights on a night of hot sex with Philip, she wasn't going to let it go very easily. She got up off the couch and with a sexy sway of her hips, headed straight for the object of her desires.

"What," Lucas said still confused and a bit disoriented. He could see Belle quickly advancing towards him and he had to think of something quick. 'This is crazy!' he thought. 'It cannot be happening. I have not magically transformed into my little brother and Sami's innocent little sister is not about to jump my bones any second now.' He squeezed his eyes shut in an attempt to clear his head but when he opened them again, Belle was still advancing towards her with a look of determination on her face. 'No wonder Philip's got it bad for her' he thought. He had to admit that Belle was quite a beauty and apparently very sexy when she wanted to be.

Lucas knew that Philip was completely in love with Belle and although he didn't like his mother yet again meddling into her sons' lives, he did agree that Philip should try to pursue Belle. It didn't look like Shawn was ready to forgive Belle for lying to him no matter how Sami tried to rationalize it to him. Of course, Sami seemed irrationally sensitive about the subject so he wouldn't make the mistake of bringing it up again with her anytime soon.

Lucas also knew that Belle was a nice girl and more importantly a virgin. He certainly thought she was a pretty girl but thinking about her and sex in the same sentence kind of made him feel like a pedophile. There were so many things wrong with this situation that he didn't even know where to begin. But right now, Belle had set her very determined sights on him...that is, him meaning Philip.

"Philip, baby, you don't have to worry about me? I know you're trying to protect me and you might think that I'm not ready for this but you're wrong. I've been ready for longer that I wanted to admit. Shawn's not coming back to me, I know that now. But you have been the one to be there for me through the most difficult time of my life. You've been the one to love me. And now I realize that I love you too and I want to show you how much. You told me earlier that you loved me but I should take some time and think about things. But Philip I already told you that I don't want to think about it. I just want to be with you. Please don't push me away, not now."

She had finally reached Lucas who had been steadily backing up. He was now trapped against the counter with nowhere to go as Belle cornered him. He watched with horror and panic as she reached up to cradle his face in her hand and pull him down for another kiss. He needed to find a way out fast.

He moved his hand from her face and tried to slide past her. "Uh, so I said earlier that you should wait and think things through, right..." He thought to himself, 'Yeah go with that Roberts. That's the ticket.' He didn't want to hurt her feelings but he didn't want to ruin things for Philip either.

He shuffled past her nervously and began to ramble about anything that could possibly save him from this situation. "Ummm, I think that's a much better idea. Belle, I really care about you...I-I-I mean, that is, I really love you and umm, I really want to be with you...yeah, I mean, I want to uhh, make love to you so much..."

Oh Lord, this was just getting too gross for him but he had to take one for his little brother.

"But this is going really fast and I don't want you to regret anything in the morning...and you know, we're friends first and foremost since we were little and I don't want to lose our really great friendship until we're ready to become something more. Remember those times, me and you all innocent and friendly in the sandbox, being friends in high school and doing friend things ..."

Belle just laughed at his clumsiness as he tried to give her an out. "Philip, I don't need you to rescue me tonight." She stood in front of him and slowly peeled off her robe to show him her sexy nightwear. Lucas couldn't help but give her a once-over while trying to keep his thoughts clean. 'I guess I shouldn't be surprised since she does design lingerie. Sexy nightclothes must run in the family.' That thought brought him back to the present...the one where he was in Philip's body and his fiancée's younger sister was about to pounce on him.

"Philip, I know you want me. I know you've wanted me for a long time. You can have me all to yourself tonight."

Lucas knew he needed some sort of rescue or divine intervention right now. 'What is going on? Somebody must have drugged me or drugged her or something.' He knew that he couldn't explain to Belle that he was really Lucas and not Philip—she would think he was just as crazy as it sounded. She'd probably assume he was making up lame excuses to get out of sleeping with her. Although she would technically be right, that wouldn't be so good for Philip and he wanted to avoid that if possible. 'Speaking of Philip, if I'm here, where the Hell is he anyway?'

With that thought brought images of Philip—or more accurately, himself—lying on a couch with a very sexy and easily aroused Sami. 'Wait. If I interrupted their little make-out session here then it's possible that he's trying to get to third base with my Sami right now.' Philip was a good guy, but Lucas didn't didn't know if a horny, twenty-something year old male would be able to resist the talented charms of his luscious soon-to-be wife. Not to mention that Sami would be thinking the man she was making love to was her future husband and not his little brother.

At that point, Lucas knew that he had to get out of this mess with Belle so he could go over to Sami's and make sure Philip was behaving himself. 'After all, marine-boy, I'm the General around those parts and you better not forget it.'
