...Continued.

Joe looked down into her eyes "what?" he whispered

she lowered her head looking at his chest "it hurt" she sighed

"why didn't you tell me?" he asked as she looked back up

"I couldn't, I didn't want to hurt your feelings" she whispered

"not telling me baby hurt my feelings" he whispered back

"I'm sorry" she said sadly

"did you see the doctor?" he asked as she nodded "what did he say?"

"we might of been a little over excited, I am ok but he put it down to it being a bit rough" she said looking at him "after us doing it so many times in two days" she whispered

"but I thought..." he started as she nodded

"I do" she nodded again "I do and I have wanted you to make love to me for days, but I am scared to" she whispered

"it's ok" he whispered back wrapping his arms around her shoulders

"no its not" she lifted her head "I should of been honest and told you, I just didn't no how to and for that I am sorry"

"it's alright, you no I understand" he answered holding her close "I love you Clarisse, no matter what, ok"

"I know and I love you too" she lifted her head and looked at him "your not mad?"

"no of course not" he whispered and kissed her "I can't be mad at you"

"thank you" she kissed him back

"whenever you want to try again though I will be happy to help" he smirked as she laughed "that's better, I hate seeing you so sad"

"thank you" she kissed him and wrapped her arms around his waist

"I am going to go and have a cold shower now" he said looking at her

"sorry" she whispered

"don't be its fine" he kissed her and stepped back

He walked over to the bathroom as she slumped sadly in the chair and watched as he shut the bathroom door.

She sat wondering what to do when a thought popped into her mind, she acted quickly.

Quickly getting changed, she headed over to the bathroom door while slipping on her dressing gown. When she reached the door she took a deep breath and pushed it open.

Slowly she walked inside and pushed the door up, and stood watching Joe as he stood under the running water his face looking up at the ceiling, seeing his eyes closed she smiled to herself and dropped the dressing gown to the floor.

Stepping closer she opened the shower door as he jumped and looked at her.

"Clari?" he asked as she started moving forward he extended his arm and took her hand and helped her in the shower "your not here to tease are you?"

She shook her head and stood under the water "no" she whispered as she stepped closer and kissed him

After a few seconds he kissed her neck while holding her close to his body, she lowered her hand between them and took hold of his manhood he moaned in response and not being able to help himself started kissing and sucking at her skin, the more he done it the more aroused they both got.

After a few minutes of teasing he lowered his hands to lift her up but she stopped him "Clari?" he whispered

"not here, in the bed" she whispered

"ok" he nodded

Within a few minutes they was laid on the bed, kissing.

"are you sure about this?" Joe asked

"yes" she nodded and kissed him "I am very sure" she said looking into his eyes

"I don't want to hurt you again" he whispered

"I know" she moved her hand onto his cheek "just take it slow and see what happens?"

"ok" he nodded

He lifted himself up and looked down between them as he moved and lowered himself, entering her slowly as she moaned and closed her eyes.

"oh god I'm sorry" he said looking at her

"what for?" she asked with a wicked grin "I am fine" she smiled

"ok" he smiled and started moving slowly

After a few minutes she stopped him with a kiss.

"don't worry your not hurting me" she whispered with a chuckle "I feel absolutely fine" she smirked while bending her knees resting them against his hips "it's just.." she said while kissing him "this slow business is doing nothing for me" she smirked between kisses

"but... what if I hurt you?" he asked as she kissed his neck

"Baby" she smiled as he looked at her in surprise and took his hand in hers locking her fingers with his "you wanna know, how to make me smile?" she smirked at him "take control" she winked while letting go of his hand placing them both on his back while kissing him deeply

"harder...baby" she smiled and kissed his jaw

As he started doing what she requested, she lowered one of her hands down groping his ass as he really started making her moan and rocking the bed, not that they noticed.

Meanwhile downstairs, Harriet and Steve was still sat at the table when he looked at her oddly.

"what?" she asked

"didn't you hear that?" he asked "is that what I think it is?"

she listened then smirked to herself "YES" she exclaimed while looking at him "they are back" she stood up

"whose back?" he asked as she took his hand "where are we going?"

"outside to give the love birds some privacy" she smirked and led him outside


Falling onto the bed beside Clarisse, they both lay trying to catch their breath.

"Ok, that was wow" Joe smirked turning onto his side

"yes it was" she laughed looking at him "amazing" she smiled turning onto her side to face him

"I can't believe we just did that with the windows open" Joe laughed a little

"oh well" Clarisse whispered and moved closer kissing him as he put his hand up cupping her face "I don't care" she smiled looking at him

Joe smiled and pushed her hair back "are you ok?"

"yes" she nodded "I'm more than ok" she smiled "thank you" she kissed him again as he rolled himself over onto her "I do believe I have just fallen in love all over again" she smiled biting her lip

He started kissing her again as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders holding him close as his tongue ravaged the inside of her mouth, his teeth nipped and bruised her lower lip, not that she minded.


Harriet sat talking to Steve out in the gardens when she saw something in the corner of her eye she looked over to see Joe walking over.

"Hey Joe" she exclaimed as Steve looked over "wheres my beautiful sister?"

he smiled "shes getting herself a drink" he smiled and sat down at the table

"ok" she sat up "I am going to see her" she nodded as she stood up

"so you got lucky then mate?" Steve joked with a wink as Joe laughed then drank some of his beer and looked at Harriet as she walked towards the kitchen

standing in the door way "oi" exclaimed Harriet as Clarisse stood looking in the fridge

"hello you" she smiled closing the fridge door with a bottle of wine in her hand "want some?" she asked

"of course" she grinned as she started walking over to her "oh my" she gasped "what did he do to you?" she smirked

Clarisse just smiled and poured them a glass of wine each "shall we take the bottle out?" she asked looking at her

"changing the subject I see" Harriet smiled teasing her "but yes to your question, we should take the bottle out" she smiled

"ok, great" she grinned grabbing it

"so, I want details" Harriet smiled while picking up her glass

"ahh" Clarisse smiled heading towards the door "it's a secret" she winked back at her then headed out and over to the men, Harriet laughed and followed her

"Pierre just called, they will be coming back soon and wondered if we wanted him to pick up some pizza on the way" Steve said "I said that was fine, so he's picking up some dinner" he drank some of his beer "another beer mate?" he said looking at Joe as Clarisse stood next to him

"of course" he smiled and looked up at her as she put her hand on the back of his head "are you ok?" he asked standing up

"of course" she nodded tilting her head as he lowered his and kissed her passionately

After a few seconds Joe took Clarisse's hand and led her to a lounger sitting on it and pulled her onto his lap with a grin.

"so glad you guys are back to normal, it was getting scary for a while" laughed Harriet while watching as Clarisse put her arm around Joe's shoulders

"here you go mate" Steve said handing Joe his beer as Clarisse sipped her wine

"thanks" he took it then watched as Steve walked of then he looked at Clarisse as she couldn't stop smiling at him "are you ok?"

"yes" she whispered and buried her face in his neck

"maybe getting you guys 'together' was a bad idea, as I seem to have lost you now" Harriet smirked looking as Clarisse lifted her head with a laugh

"oh you haven't lost me" she smiled over at her as Joe kissed her neck making her laugh

Harriet laughed a bit while looking at them then looked at Steve as he raised his eyebrow at her, they both smirked and drank some of their drinks.

After a while, Pierre, Charlotte, James and the girls arrived home with Pizza. After everyone ate they all sat out in the garden talking.

"Pierre" Clarisse said as Joe wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind as they both sat on the lounger

"yes" he said then looked up

"are you sure your ok to look after the girls tonight?" she asked putting her hands up onto Joe's arms

Pierre smiled "of course, we are going to have a quiet night" he smiled "you go and enjoy yourself, let your hair down"

"oh that she's already done" laughed Harriet

"Harriet" Clarisse exclaimed

"only telling the truth" Harriet smiled over at her as Joe laughed "aww your blushing" Harriet smiled

"what time do you think you will be home by Mom?" Olivia asked

"oh we have no idea darling" she looked over at her as Joe sat back

"ok" she smiled over at her

After a while it was time to get ready to go out. When Clarisse was ready she headed down and sat at the table next to Joe waiting for Harriet and Steve, the rest of the gang was outside in the gardens.

"the car is ready whenever you are" Shades said coming in

"thank you Shades" Joe said looking at him as Clarisse put her hand on his thigh he quickly looked at her "are you ok?" he whispered

"yes" she smiled moving closer "you keep asking me that?"

"I know, I am just worried that's all" he nodded moving a bit closer to her

"don't worry, I am fine" she nodded and kissed him a couple times

He put his hand up onto the back of her head, closing her eyes as he kissed her deeply ravaging her mouth with his tongue again, not realizing Olivia was stood looking at them.

"eww" she exclaimed running from the room and back outside "they are french kissing"

Clarisse started laughing first and looked at Joe who couldn't help but laugh too "Who" they heard Sofia say, Clarisse laughed again burying her face in Joe's neck as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders

"Oh dear" Joe whispered as Clarisse lifted her head and looked at him

"was that you two?" Harriet asked walking over to the table "who was french kissing I mean" she smirked as they both looked at her "well that gives me the answer, your both blushing" laughing as they both looked at each other "god you two are so cute" she smiled walking into the kitchen

"maybe we should behave?" Joe whispered while Clarisse put her hand up onto his jaw

"I think we better had" she smiled and kissed him then sat back as Harriet came out

"right, are we ready?" Steve asked coming down the stairs and everyone stood up

"I believe so" Harriet smiled "though these two love birds might cause us some problems tonight" she joked

"oh of course" winked Joe as Clarisse walked through to the garden

They all went and said goodbye to the others then left, heading to Sasha's place. When they arrived she came rushing out to them.

"YAY" she exclaimed hugging them "so glad you came" she hugged Clarisse "thanks for coming Aunt Clari" she smiled "whoa what happened?" she said looking at her

"what do you think?" Harriet smirked while putting her hand on Clarisse's back "she got attacked"

"oh my god, what?" exclaimed Sasha while looking at Harriet then back at Clarisse

"by her husband darling" Harriet laughed taking Sasha's hand

"oh" she answered then laughed as Harriet whispered something to her "well that was something I really wanted to no, thanks Mom" she said looking at Harriet then back at Clarisse "glad to hear you guys are back to normal though" she smiled and took Clarisse's hand "come on, lets go meet the others"

After meeting everyone they started to enjoy themselves.

"here you go" Sasha said handing Clarisse and Joe a glass of champagne then rushed of again

"I can't wait to get back home to Genovia" Joe whispered in Clarisse's ear

"why?" she asked and sipped her drink

"because then we can have privacy" he smiled looking at her

"that is true" she smiled at him as he sipped his drink

"come my darling sister" Harriet said appearing and took her hand "come and dance with me" she smiled as Joe quickly took her drink as Harriet started leading her away

Joe couldn't help but smile as he watched them dancing, after a while he danced with her a couple times.

Not long after, Shades appeared.

"hey big man" Harriet smiled at him "who you looking for?"

"you and your sister" he said looking around the room as people danced everywhere "have you seen her?"

"I think she's gone outside with Joe" she realized he wasn't in the fun mood "what's happened?" she stood up straight as Steve appeared next to them "are the girls ok?"

he looked at her "can you go and find her for me and meet me out the front" he said and walked out

"whats that about?" Steve asked looking at Harriet

"I don't no" she looked at him "can you go and find out whats going on while I go and find her" he nodded and walked of as she went to find Clarisse

Finding her a few minutes later, she told him that Shades wants to speak to them and they headed out the front to find Paul in the limo waiting as Shades stood near the door.

"Shades, I demand to know what is going on?" Clarisse asked while walking over to him

"we need to go to the hospital" Steve answered as they looked at him

"whats going on" Jason asked coming out with Sasha

"its your Dad" Steve said looking at Clarisse then Harriet "he's in hospital"
