And I am back! Thank you for all the reviews they are much appreciated, The rating may change to an M in later chapters. I will try and update at LEAST once a week, it all depends on how well my three month son in behaving that day. The past couple of days he's been fussy so I haven't had time to write

The pizza lay discarded on the floor, Jake moaned as he felt Sherry run her fingers down his spine before she captured his mouth with hers, so dominating. Jake found himself pushed down onto the wooden floor beside the pizza box with Sherry straddling his hips.
He looked up to see Sherry grinning down at him, he lifted his hands to her hair, staring into her beautiful face he brought his face up to meet hers and planted a kiss on both her cheeks before kissing her on the mouth.
The kiss was hot, burning, both tongues battling demanding dominance. A few minutes later Sherry pulled away and sat up again. Jake looked at her as she began to take of her top revealing…
'Jake!' A voice interrupted his thoughts. Jake turned around to see Sherry staring at him, a piece of pizza in her hand, 'Have you been listening to a single word I said?' She asked eyes darting at him. Jake sighed into himself. Seriously what was wrong with him lately? He blamed it on the movie they were watching, it might as well be a porno movie.
'Yes' He lied. Sherry giggled, an innocent, childish laugh
'You're such a liar! Anyway I said… who was that girl earlier?' Sherry asked, eyes shining from laughing earlier, but seemed to have a serious edge to them. Jake thought about this question for a moment. Who was Ana to him? Well to put it not very nicely, she's an occasional fuck that he doesn't have to pay for. He has been 'seeing' Ana for about a year, every time he comes back from a mission she is there to give him stress relief. Would Sherry understand? Did she have a fuck buddy as well?
Jake ran his hands across his head before closing his eyes and breathing deeply. 'She's a fuck buddy.' He said, he decided to answer truthfully, 'Me and her hook up every time I come back from a mission.' To his surprise Sherry sat back and looked disgusted at him.
'What's with the reaction?' He said annoyed, she had no reason to judge him never mind give him that look.
'Nothing. I just thought that you would treat women better than that.' She said looking away from him. Now Jake was pissed, he got up from his seat of the couch and turned around to glare at her, towering over her.
'Look Sherry what I do in my spare time is none of your business. I have needs that she meets end of. I don't need you coming in all high and mighty and judging me for something that has nothing to do with you. And while we're at it I'm sure you have had some stress relief recently.'
To Jake's total surprise Sherry blushed crimson, he knew what that blush meant…
'You're not…' He said disbelievingly, he couldn't help but smile, she was much older than him and drop dead gorgeous as well. Sherry stood up quickly as well glaring at the young man.
'Yes!' She declared 'I'm a virgin!' To her annoyance Jake burst out laughing. He couldn't help it he found this revelation to be the most hilarious thing that he has heard in ages.
'I'm sorry, I'm sorry' he managed to splutter out after a full five minutes of laughing at the blonde haired woman's expense. To his shame he seen that Sherry didn't look angry anymore, but she looked sad. A sadness that he wouldn't understand.
'Sherry…' He began
'Don't!' She shouted, interrupting him. She began to walk around the room gathering her things while saying, 'Don't even begin to apologise or try to say that you know what I am going through. For most of my life since Raccoon City I have been in protection by the Government so yeah I hardly went out or had time to make any friends. I spent my time playing with the kids of Government officials and studying to become a top notch agent. It wasn't until 2009 that I was able to have any real life, even then I was still on close guard, even now! Now isn't so bad though because I have Claire and Leon.' She finished with a sigh and turned and faced Jake, who was speechless.
He had no idea what Sherry had gone through and wanted nothing more than to embrace her and tell her that it was going to be okay. She had him now, and he had her…
'I thought you of all people would understand loneliness.' She finished, just as she was about to walk out the door Jake grabbed her arm, pulling her back inside
'Don't be silly you can't leave. Leon is expecting you here tomorrow.'
'I don't care I just need to be away from you right now' Sherry replied looking down at the ground. Before she knew it she was being pulled into an embrace by the ex-mercenary. She felt one of his hands wrap around her waist and the other was placed on top of her head. She closed her eyes breathing in his scent. Sherry loved him, she knew this for the past six months that she has known the man. Jake was everything that she needed, smart, cocky, protective, sexy; but he was probably not interested, seeing as he had this Ada person and probably more women as well.
'I'm sorry' Jake said, Sherry opened her eyes again and looked up at him, giving him a weary smile
'I know, I'm sorry too'
They looked at each other for a moment before Jake closed the door and walked over towards the living area, Sherry followed after him feeling slightly embarrassed after her outburst. Jake seemed to be pretending that the past five minutes had never happened as he was currently flicking through his dvd collection for something else to watch. Sherry sat down on the couch again and looked at the red headed man. He picked up a dvd quickly showing her, to which she sighed and rolled her eyes, and put it in the dvd player. He quickly ran to the kitchen and grabbed two cans of coke and a packet off salted popcorn and sat down beside Sherry.

The house was dark and shabby; the windows were boarded shut with wood that had rotted. There was a chill in the air and a smell of dampness and musk. This was another dead end. Claire sighed and put her gun back in her holster and pulled out her phone from her front pocket she dialled one and let the phone ring.
'Hello?' A male voice answered, the voice sounded anxious as if they were waiting for some news.
'It's a dead end Chris.' Claire said, 'Neo-Umbrella was never here from the looks of things. It's just an abandoned house'
'Dammit!' Chris cursed down the phone causing his sister to frown.
'No need for that language' she said. Chris sighed, she's right he shouldn't blame her for something that can't be helped. He looked over at his partner Jill who was currently researching Neo-Umbrella whereabouts on the laptop, a frown was apparent on her face. Chris made a mental note to force her to take a break after he got off the phone.
'Well hopefully Leon will have better luck on his mission tomorrow' Chris said, 'In the meantime you come on back'
'Okay' Claire was about to hang up the phone when a thought crossed her mind, 'Hey Chris, who is Leon's partner anyway?' She asked. She felt her brother hesitating before he answered.
'Sherry. Sherry Birkin.' He replied
'WHAT!' Claire yelled furious at Leon's decision, 'No absolutely not she is just a kid!'
'She handled herself perfectly fine in Edonia and in China, albeit she had Jake by her side'
'Jake' Claire sat her protective side taking over, 'the guy she's been crying about for the past six months. You know I…'
'I really don't need to hear about this' Chris said interrupting her. 'Come up Claire trust Leon and Sherry.'
Claire sighed, 'Okay' she said closing her eyes, 'I trust Leon, He'll keep her safe.'

'Keep going, keep going, No!' Jake exclaimed throwing his hands in the air. Sherry set down the two litre bottle of Fanta and spluttered.
'No, there's no possible way that I could drink all that without stopping' she said holding her arms up in defeat. Jake chuckled and motioned for Sherry to hand over the bottle. She did and watched in amazement as Jake held the bottle with one hand and gulped down the entire drink without stopping for a breath.
Jake threw the empty bottle down and held his hands together shaking them in a victory pose and grinning at the look on Sherry's face.
'See Supergirl, that's how you do it' He grinned. Sherry laughed, and grabbed a packet of marshmallows which were lying on the floor.
'Okay fine you can win at that game but what about this one, fluffy bunnies!'
After fifteen minutes of the pair jamming marshmallows into their mouths Jake had to admit defeat to the pixie blonde. He had managed to get 10 marshmallows in his mouth while she had managed thirteen.
'I win!' She declared taking a victory sip from her can of coke. Jake grinned.
'That's only because you have a big mouth' Sherry playfully pushed him. Jake looked at the time on the clock, 01:00
'We should head in, you have a big day tomorrow.' Sherry nodded and yawned, giving Jake a quick hug before heading off to the spare room. Jake watched her go before going to his own room.
Turning on the light he frowned at his sheets. It's like they were tainted. He sighed and decided to change them, and deciding that that was the last time he would see Ana, he had much more fun with Sherry; acting like thirteen year olds then he did with her. It was all about the sex, and frankly he could do better.
Once he got the new sheet on he went to switch off the light when he seen a figure standing in the doorway, Sherry.
'Are you okay?' He asked concerned, she looked…scared.
'Can I stay in your room with you, I feel a bit uneasy.' Jake smiled, he walked over to her and gently pulled her into a hug, post-traumatic stress was a horrible thing, and she was so fragile looking; although Jake knew that she was nothing but, he still had this need, this desire to protect her from anything including the monsters in her dreams.
He looked down at her and found himself lost in her eyes, she was so beautiful.
Sherry looked up at him, he looked so handsome, so innocent and calm
Before either of them knew it they were both leaning in to each other ready to claim each other's lips as their own
