A/N: Thanks for the reviews and it's something about drama and messiness that isn't yours that is fun to read. Disclaimer here about not owning and all this other stuff.
Roman
Roman felt like a ticking time bomb and couldn't believe he put his hands on Seth and he knew he was taking his frustrations out on his little brother but Seth deserved it, just a tad. His mind was all over and he found himself in front of Dean's house. He knew that his best friend would be there to listen to him even though he showed up out of nowhere.
"Dude, why are you here?"
"I think I'm getting a divorce and I left Seth laid out in front of the club."
"You what?" Dean moved allowing Roman into his house and he could smell the alcohol on his breath not even going to reprimand him for drinking and driving. "Divorce? Here have a seat."
Dean put his own bullshit aside to help his friend who looked so lost and confused right now as Renee walked down the stairs.
"Hey Roman!"
"Hey Nay!" Roman raised his hand in a gesture and Renee noticed something was off but chose to ignore it. "I'm going to work hun. I'll see you later tonight."
Dean accepted the kiss on the cheek and Renee patted Roman's shoulder walking out the house and he knew it was going to be a long day.
Seth
Seth was upset as he drove back home trying to think of what to tell Tracy about why his lip was busted and bruised and the anger he felt towards Roman rolled off him. He thought of an excuse of being hurt boxing at the gym and knew that should be acceptable enough.
He entered the house and there was silence which wasn't normal especially when Trace came back from hanging with Renee. He walked upstairs finding her laying in the bed reading and his eyebrow raised.
"Back love."
Tracy put the book down as she looked at Seth taking in his lip jumping out. "What happened?" She placed a finger to his lip gently.
"Boxing at the gym with Corbin. He caught me with a nice left hook."
"Let's put some ice on it."
"I got it." Seth removed her hands gently looking into her eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Just reading a sad book, it made me emotional. PMS and all." She smiled sadly rubbing her hand against his beard.
"How was your day?" The room felt different to him but he put it on the fact he was upset with Roman.
"Fun. I picked out Renee's dress for her, she looks beautiful."
"Really? You have wonderful taste so I'm sure she does." Seth smiled genuinely at her and leaned down to kiss her forehead. "I love you."
"That was random but nice to hear."
"I just wanted you to know that I love you, you're the best thing to happen to me even if I don't tell you often."
"Seth, are you okay?" Tracy had a feeling something else happened with him today but she had her own demons and the kiss Dean placed on hers still fresh in her mind.
"I'm good. Can I not tell you I love you without it being a problem?" Seth rolled his eyes walking towards the bathroom. "I need to shower."
"Seth. I wasn't saying it was a problem but walk away whatever. I'm going out later tonight." Tracy called out to his retreating back. "And I love you too."
Seth rubbed his hands through his hair quickly turning back towards her. "Sorry. You know I hate when my face is bruised." He smiled at her but not before placing his lips against hers. "Before you go can we have a "Serace' day."
"Don't use that shipping name. I swear you're on the internet more than me." Tracy instantly forgave him and it felt normal between them before all the lies and deceit.
"How about you join me in the shower." Seth winked pulling her hand and body against him.
"Next time. This book is getting good."
Tracy knew where he was and she could smell the faint smell of sex on him and it broke her heart even more. Love makes you do foolish things.
"Missing out."
"I'm sure you'll show me how much later." Tracy smiled at him but it didn't even meet her eyes but of course Seth didn't notice.
She watched him walk off an exhaled deeply knowing there was more to the punch than he let on and she was going to do everything in her power to find out what it was.
Dean- Later that night
"You asked for a divorce."
"I didn't ask man; it was more I told her that we needed to work our issues out or I was filing for a divorce. I hoped it would work in my favor but I underestimated my wife." Roman said sadly. "I went to the club looking to find some release and there was Seth talking to some woman and laughing at Tracy's expense."
"He did what?" Dean sat up paying more attention.
"The girl has a bunch of tattoos and the girl said something about Trace being lame and he just laughed. I don't get him anymore man, he has the best woman and he just treats her like shit. It's like Seth's infidelity made me aware of my own issues and to see how he's treating her just…" Roman took another swallow of the warm liquor ignoring the burn of his throat. "We're all wrong and at fault with our actions but it's like we use it as an outlet. I don't go there to fall in love, it's just Gabby is being so difficult and this baby stuff."
"None of us are perfect and maybe our motives make sense to us but if the women found out what we were doing…" Dean's mind went back to Tracy's face and the tears in her eyes and it made him want to punch Seth himself for not being careful.
"It would break them." Roman finished. "I know but it's just my escape."
"It's all of ours but is it healthy? We go there, fuck some strangers, then come back home and do it again later. We've all been there more frequently than ever instead of working on our problems at home."
Dean was about to speak again hearing Roman's phone going off and he immediately taking it out knowing it was Gabrielle. "Gabby wants to talk."
"Go work on your issues at home man."
"Are you going to The Club tonight?" Roman stood knowing that there was going to be another battle and luckily he had alcohol for it.
"Nah. I'm just going to chill for once." Inside of mind he was hoping Tracy would come by not even for anything physical but he was worried about her and she was a friend first.
"I'm sure Seth will go though."
"You two need to work that out."
"Not right now but hopefully we can maintain professionalism at work."
"He's still our brother regardless of his fuck ups."
"His fuckups are having a downward effect on all of us somehow. It's like the world around us is unraveling, well minus yours." Roman chuckled slightly.
"Yeah or so you think." Dean mumbled.
"What's that?"
"Nothing bro. Go home to your wife."
"Are you okay man?"
"Yeah. I will be. I'll catch up with you later."
Roman
It took longer for Roman to get home than ever maybe because he was aware of him drinking and driving and wanted to avoid being pulled over. He reached his home and saw candles all over the place and a meal sitting on the table.
"Hey baby." Gabrielle was looking beautiful in a baby blue dress and her hair down over her shoulders. "I drew a bath for you tonight and laid something out for you."
Roman's eyebrows went up and he wanted to comment but he wasn't in the mood to disagree with her now. It was so long since she made anything romantic just for him and it was nice to be taken care of for once.
He followed her instructions taking a bath and noticed their bedroom had rose petals everywhere. He wasn't going to think positive on it and knew this was some sort of ploy. He dressed quickly in slacks and a button down shirt that matched her dress.
His wife was standing at the bottom of the steps her green eyes lit up seeing him and she pulled a chair out for him at the dining room table.
"I cooked this." She said shyly and Roman raised his eyebrow.
"Don't give me that look." She smiled again showing she wasn't affected by his look. "Try it."
Roman took a bite of the chicken fettuccine alfredo his wife made and it was pleasantly good. It was so long since he had her cooking he forgot she could cook.
"This is really good Gab."
The woman eyes beamed at the praise and Roman couldn't help but smile back as they ate in a comfortable silence. Once the meal was finished Gabrielle went towards the stereo and turned on music.
"Would you dance with me?"
The room filled with Brian McKnight "Love of my Life" which was the song they danced to at their wedding and Roman was still in disbelief at what was going on with her but obliged her request to dance. His wife laid his head on her chest swaying softly against him, he heard the sniffles against his chest and he wrapped his arms around her tighter pulling her towards him.
"Gabby." He started his sentence, trying to stop the dancing.
"Shh… after the song." The words were quiet and tinged with tears that went to his heart. He was still in a state of denial but didn't want this moment to end.
The dance continued with Gabrielle humming the words in between sniffles and holding on to him like she never wanted him to leave.
The song ended and Roman pulled away from her slowly seeing the tears in her eyes. "Gabby."
"I'm sorry." Her voice felt foreign to him, nothing like the woman he spoke with earlier. "I couldn't deal with life if you left me, just give me some time. Please."
Roman nodded knowing that it still wasn't agreeing to going to a counselor but the woman he held in his arms was willing to try and that's all he wanted. "I'm not going anywhere. I just wanted us to meet halfway."
"I talked to my sister and she reminded me of how much you gave up for me and maybe I'm being selfish."
"No blame. I just want to enjoy this evening with my wife, okay?'
"Okay." She smiled at him again. "I just want to enjoy this time with my husband."
Dean
Dean sat around wanting to know if Tracy was going to show and feeling anxious until he heard the doorbell ring. He ran quicker than normal looking out the peephole and seeing Tracy standing there opening the door fast.
"I don't know why I'm here." Tracy whispered and the woman he remembered from The Club or even before finding out all the secrecy was no longer standing in front of him.
"Come in." Dean didn't have an explanation for why she was there but he wasn't going to turn her around.
Tracy walked in and plopped herself on the couch not looking at Dean as he sat near her. It was different this time because he didn't know why she was there and she couldn't even answer it herself.
"Seth came home with a busted lip; do you know anything about it?"
Dean wanted to lie and tell her didn't but what would be the point? It was mainly out in the open now. "Roman."
"Roman hit Seth, why?"
"Because of you."
"Me?"
Dean stopped there not wanting to tell her about Seth laughing at her expense. "He hates how Seth is treating you." It was a partial truth and it felt weird being this upfront after hiding their infidelity for so long.
Tracy nodded wanting to ask questions but knew she wasn't ready to deal with the answers. "Oh."
"Are you okay?"
"He smelled like someone else. I let him kiss me and…" Tracy put her face in her hands and broke down as Dean quickly wrapped his arms around her. He still wasn't used to deal with crying women but this one he thought what if it was Renee or even Gabby crying to him over their actions. Was any of what they were doing worth this?
Tracy wrapped herself in to him sobbing into his shoulders. It was as if everything over the past 3 months was hitting her since fidning out Seth was cheating on her almost daily and Dean didn't know what to do or say. "You can't keep doing this to yourself. Do you know how beautiful you are? How much you deserve better?"
"I don't know how to leave him and I'm sorry for wrapping you into this shit. Why am I even here?" Tracy started pulling away from him but Dean kept his arms tightly wrapped around her.
"You're my friend and you chose me accidentally or not for a reason." Dean kissed the top of her head and Tracy pulled away from him pressing her lips against his.
"Stop Trace." Dean mumbled not pulling his lips away from hers.
"Make me." She mumbled back.
It was different without the masks and the hidden secrecy. They were both aware of what they were doing, the consequences of their actions but neither cared right now.
Tracy laid on top of him more as Dean fumbled with her clothes still not letting go of her clothes. He knew every trace of her body and she knew his as he gently moved his lips away flipping their positions and lying on top of her. He slowly sucked and licked at her neck taking his time finally there was no mask obscuring his obstacle. The moan she let out went to his core as he ground himself her more.
"You're so beautiful." Dean pulled away looking at her lips that were wet and swollen and her eyes heavily lidded just from a kiss. "You deserve better and I'm going to give it to you."
Dean undressed her quickly leaving her on the couch a quivering mess as his tongue traced every inch of her body before he went lower. His mouth engulfed her clit sucking on it gently as she arched towards her. He wanted this night to be for her. She felt inadequate, worthless, less of a person all because she put her trust into the wrong person and he felt it was his duty to show her the other side of the spectrum.
"Dean…"
His name from her lips felt like music to his ears. He couldn't believe this was the woman he craved so much and she was so readily available. His tongue went inside of her center licking her juices. All he wanted was to get the woman to moan his name and he never thought it would be his best friend's girlfriend was the one behind it.
"Yes baby…"
"Don't stop." She moaned again pressing his head against her.
"Wasn't planning on it." Dean's hand went to her hips holding her still as he continued the ministrations on her and could tell from her breathing and pants she was close as he stopped. He quickly took off his clothes and pulled away from her to grab a condom.
Dean came back quickly having to find one since he hadn't used one with Renee for so long but the woman was still in the same spot waiuting for him as he kissed her lips again gently.
"There's no coming back from this." She whispered.
"It's not our first time."
Tracy rubbed his beard gently as he slowly guided himself into her. "It is without masks."
"Do you want to stop?" Dean asked even though he wasn't sure if he could with how warm and wet she was.
"No."
"Good." He mumbled sliding into her fully and moaning at it. He grabbed one of her legs holding them up as he slowly slid into of her. It wasn't just a quick fuck this time, this one held something else that he didn't want to think about.
"Deeper." Tracy moaned out feeling Dean hitting her g-spot and meeting each of his thrusts.
"Traceee…" Dean moaned feeling her clench around him feeling tighter than ever.
There was no coming back for them as he slowly traced his tongue over neck keeping up the slow paced moments. This wasn't just sex between them tonight, it was something deeper he wasn't expecting and he could tell by the way she was looking at him neither did she.
"So close, right there, don't stop Dean."
Dean's slow thrusts became more forceful and he owed it to both of them while grinding himself into her. The climax came quickly for both of them as Dean continued lazily thrusting into her before removing himself and the condom gently.
Tracy laid there unmoving her head to the side as he joined her holding her naked body against his. "Are you okay?" He whispered.
"Couldn't be better." She was being honest and knew that they crossed a line that they couldn't come back from now without the masks. "Cause who knows, what may happen if we act on our attractions, and loose ourselves, inside a world made for us, and no one else." Tracey chuckled sadly thinking of the song in her head.
"Lyrics?"
"Yeah."
Tracy trailed her fingers over Dean's body not believing she was here nor what brought this on. She felt guilt however for what she was doing to Renee, she was falling for her best friend's fiancée but after Dean kissed her shoulder it left her.
"You're an amazing woman."
"I'm glad someone thinks so."
"Seth is an idiot."
"No, no mention of his name." Tracy turned around facing him and kissing him again. "Just make it go away."
