Chapter 2; No Farther

Cody jumped as he heard knocking on the door. "Hey." It was Ethan.

"Yeah?" he grabbed some toilet paper and began to clean up the mess on the floor.

"I brought you some sweat pants and some boxers."

Cody finished and opened the door. Ethan handed him the clothes and with an amused look on his face turn and left. Cody closed the door wondering what the look was for and saw the towel on the floor. He hadn't had the towel on when he opened the door.

Cody's embarrassment was palpable as he slipped on the plain blue boxers and gray sweatpants. He ran his hands on the fabric, realizing Ethan had worn them. He smacked himself.

"Fuck Cody, come on. You can't like him. You're dating his sister, and you're not gay." he murmured to himself as he walked out of the bathroom and down the hall.

He walked down the stairs and saw Vanessa sitting on the couch. He watched her for a moment. He sat next to her and kissed her, a long deep, hopefully passionate kiss. She pushed him away, breathless.

"What was that all about?" she asked, her face flushed.

"I just needed it." He glanced around unconsciously looking for Ethan. He glanced at the clock to see it say that nine was way past. "Do you think your mother would mind if I stayed the night?" He asked.

She raised her eyebrows at him, "Mister Take It Slow wants to stay the night? Well, I guess I could ask." She left the room to call her mother.

Cody took out his phone and dialed his own mother's number. "Hey mom." He said as she answered.

"Weren't you supposed to be home at nine tonight? You have school tomorrow." The disappointment in her voice was hardly hidden.

"Mother, you let Zack stay out till eleven."

"Yeah, but you gave yourself that curfew. I have never seen you break it before." Disappointment tasted horrible.

"Well I worked out with Ethan today and my clothes got very sweaty, so they are washing them for me. So I was wondering if I could stay the night?" he knew it was bad to ask her. She didn't believe that guys should be able to stay with girls and vice versa.

He was surprised by her answer, "You better be staying in Ethan's room, all night. He will tell me if you left his room at all. You will be grounded, from everything for a month."

"Wow mom, I think that's the most you ever went off on me before."

"I'm serious."

"You don't trust me?"

"No, I don't trust that thing in your pants."

"MOM!"

"Be good. Love you, bye."

"Bye."

He shut his phone and went to find Ethan. He hoped to be rid of the thoughts that had flooded him earlier. He found Ethan in his room again. Without being able to stop them, the image of him naked ran through Cody's mind.

Ethan looked up as he knocked. "Yeah man, what's up?"

Cody walked in and sat on Ethan's bed. Ethan was across the room at his computer, Facebook. Cody tried to act like the whole bathroom incident didn't happen. Cody found himself imagining him naked again. He crossed his legs to hide his unwanted erection.

"My mom said I could stay the night, but I have to stay in your room, all night. That is if your mother will let me."

He smiled, "She will probably say the same thing and let you stay. It's cool I'll make pallet for you later."

"Thanks." As he turned back to his computer, Cody quickly went from the room so as for Ethan not to see his erection. As he turned to go down the stairs he ran into Vanessa.

Her eyes went wide, "Wow, ummm."

He panicked, "I- I was you know- thinking."

She smiled and pressed up against him, "Maybe you should think more often while I'm around." It felt good to have her pressed up against him.

He pushed her up against the wall, pressing his erection against her. She pushed her hand down his pants and stroked him. He gasped and kissed her hard and needy. He pulled back to watch her pull it out and watched her stroke him. He moaned and began kissing her again.

"Um, excuse me." They pulled apart and Cody quickly put himself back in his pants. "Well that wasn't what I expected from the either of you."

Vanessa gawked at him, "Don't try to be mom right now. I know all the things that happen in your room."

He glared at her, "Well you don't need to go no farther than this."

She laughed, "You mean no sex. Whatever, go back to your room"
