*~*~*~*~*

Nick stretched his body, fighting off the last remnants of sleep that were lingering. Opening one eye and attempting to focus on the clock he noticed that they'd missed breakfast. Again. The gang, or to be more accurate, most members of the gang, always tended to meet at nine in the restaurant for their continental breakfast before hitting the slopes. It had been days since he and Kevin had been a part of that gang. The original excitement to be there had long since worn off and when Nick and Kevin finally rolled out of bed, only then did they make their way to the slopes. The day before they hadn't actually gone skiing or snowboarding. Okay, they hadn't made it out the day before that either but Nick had wanted to go out today and had intended on making it to breakfast. That plan was shot to hell since the clock clearly displayed that it was after ten, the conscious members of the gang had most likely made their first half dozen runs already. He let out a grunt of resignation and
 closed his eyes again, settling back into Kevin's embrace.

Upon recollection, Nick couldn't remember the last time before this week that he'd been afforded the opportunity to wake up in Kevin's arms, especially this frequently. They'd never taken to spending the whole night on multiple occasions, lest someone suspect more than either man was willing to reveal. They had been very clear in not having too many people knowing about their 'special' relationship, and for that reason they would often part at the end of the night so that they would be free to wake up in their own rooms and in their own beds. Nick hadn't realized how much he loved waking up with Kevin until he'd been allowed to indulge in it. As he felt the older man's arms tighten around his waist Nick's lips curled into a grin.

"Morning Nicky," Kevin mumbled, caught in the state between fully conscious and unconscious. He had felt Nick's breathing change and knew that the blonde was awake. Not to mention that he had become considerably more fidgety. He pressed his lips against Nick's shoulder, kissing the skin softly in hopes that it would settle him down.

"Morning." Nick inhaled deeply before letting the air out in a cleansing movement. He stretched again before turning around to face his lover. "I wanted to go out on the slopes this morning."

Kevin groaned in response. "Are you serious? I can barely move, and if I'M sore, you should be more sore."

Nick giggled as he reached down and bit Kevin's nipple playfully. The giggle turned into full blown laughter as Kevin squealed and swatted him away. "You're just getting old baby, can't keep up with my fine ass."

"Screw you, Blondie." Kevin growled as he rubbed his tender nipple. He fought the grin that was threatening, knowing that it wouldn't help his case in being grumpy if he was smiling. He was in somewhat of a playful mood that morning, most likely due to the hours of hot, steamy sex that he and Nick had participated in the night before. While everyone had gone to the club, they had stayed in under the pretenses that Nick had a migraine and Kevin had to stay with him to make sure he didn't hurt himself. They weren't sure if the others believed them, but no one had said anything so they weren't going to worry too much about it. The minute they returned from dinner Kevin had thrown Nick over the coffee table and fucked him until they were both screaming and Nick was begging for mercy. Afterwards, they'd gone to take a shower, teasing each other until they were both hard and aching for more, which they got when Nick lured Kevin into the bedroom and spread out in front of him, pleading for
 more. They then had fallen asleep, and only a few hours later Nick woke up hard and nudging Kevin awake, sliding in behind him and making slow, sweet, luxurious love to him until they'd both once again slipped into orgasmic bliss before falling asleep once again.

Kevin was definitely feeling it that morning. He stretched out gingerly, not wanting to further aggravate tired muscles or pull something. He opened his eyes to find Nick watching him, a spark of amusement in his blue eyes. "You're too gorgeous, Baby." Nick said softly before covering his mouth in a sweet morning kiss. He tightened his arms around Nick's waist and pulled their bodies as tight as he could, enjoying the feel of Nick's soft skin against his.

When they pulled away Kevin grinned. "Good morning."

"You already said that."

"It needed repeating. I thought it was good before, now I know it is."

Nick rested his head on Kevin's chest, content in listening to his heart beating. He heard it's pitter patter skip a few beats and felt his own do the same. "So you want to come out with me? I'm gonna go take a shower and then hit the slopes."

Kevin thought about it for a minute before shaking his head. "I don't think so, not yet anyways babe. I'm gonna sleep for a few more hours, I'll be out after lunch I think."

With a kiss to Kevin's chest then his mouth and with a nod of his head, Nick rolled out of the bed. He had a feeling that Kevin wasn't going to be joining him that morning. It wasn't as if they had to spend every waking hour together and in all honesty, for the past few days they'd taken to spending at least a few hours a day away from each other. There was definitely something to be said about spending TOO much time together they had spent the good portion of eight years of their lives doing just that. Now it was just understood that if one wanted to do something the other didn't, it was okay. "Sounds good. I'll be on the intermediate hill I think, gonna give it a go. I did okay the other day, so..." Nick leaned down and kissed Kevin's forehead before heading into the bathroom to shower.

Half an hour later Nick emerged, almost ready to go. He was wearing all of his gear and only had to make his way to get equipment from the chalet. Kevin had fallen back to sleep causing for Nick's heart to flutter. The older man looked so relaxed, so peaceful as he slept and the one thing Nick loved to do but didn't get to do enough was watch his lover sleep. He leaned against the door for a few minutes, watching the slow rise and fall of Kevin's chest before blowing him a kiss and turning back around towards the condo door. Kevin would find him later.

By eleven thirty Nick had successfully completed his first run down the intermediate hill. With it being the later end of the week, the hills were sufficiently packed and Nick wondered if he'd made a mistake in sleeping in so long. It was while he was in line for the ski lift that he'd caught a glimpse of Peter and Leanne a few feet away. He waved to get their attention. Minutes later Peter recognized him and they made their way over.

"Nick, good to see ya, Bro. How's the migraine?"

"I think it was the cheese at dinner man. I'm not supposed to eat it but I can't stay away." Nick had perfected the lie over the years and so it fell from his lips without a second thought.

Leanne nodded her head sympathetically. "I heard that eh, that things like.. cheese and chocolate and caffeine cause migraines, or at least are triggers for them. That must suck, especially when it's something you love."

Had she not looked as concerned for him as she did Nick would have laughed out loud at her believing him. "It's okay. I mean, sometimes I can eat it and it's fine, other times not. Last night just sucked, you know! But I'm here now. I wanted to be out earlier but I slept in."

"What about Kevin?" Peter asked, looking around for the older man.

"Still sleeping I think. I went into his room to find out if he wanted to come with me but he threw something at me and threatened to kill me if I didn't get out and let him sleep. Never mess with his beauty sleep." All three burst out into laughter.

Because he was talking with Peter and Leanne, Nick hadn't noticed the line for the ski lift moving. It wasn't until the person behind him gave a shove that he snapped to attention.

"Dude.. move up or get out of line. Some of us want to ski." The person said roughly, voice full of exasperation.

"Bro, chill." Nick snapped getting defensive. Who was this guy to touch him that way and be so rude? All he had to do was tell him to move up. Nick exchanged a look with Peter who instantly was on the defensive too. "No need to get uptight about it."

"I'm just saying. You pretty boys all come out here to chat and impress the ladies. You're just wasting space up here that serious skiers could be using."

Nick was about to say something before Leanne shook her head and stopped him. "Forget it Nick, it's not worth it. We're gonna head to the next hill over, we'll catch you later."

Nick nodded as he bumped fists with Peter. "Later guys." He shot the man behind him another dirty glare before turning around and shuffling up to the front of the line. He was silently fuming the entire ride up to the top of the mountain and made sure he was long gone before the rude man could bother him again. As he felt the cool air whipping his face, the scenery passing him by, Nick allowed for the tension to leave his body. One asshole was definitely not going to ruin his day, he wouldn't let it.

It wasn't long before Nick had almost erased the moment from his mind, enjoying the beautiful day and the amazing weather. He was halfway down the hill when a familiar grey snowsuit came into view, cutting him off. Nick made a hard right to avoid hitting the snowboarder only to lose his balance and take a fall, rolling down the hill. He vaguely heard someone yelling at him to be careful before he stopped moving, laying face down, covered in snow. Mentally, he checked everything out. He couldn't feel any extreme pain so he was certain nothing was broken, that thought a major relief. His body was slightly achy, but all in all he'd survived unscathed. It was only then, when he realized he was okay, that he allowed the anger to set in. "Fucker." He grunted, flipping over and sitting up quickly. Nick surveyed the area only to see the man who had cut him off standing maybe twenty feet away.

"Stay the fuck out of my way, Pretty Boy." Nick recognized it as the man who had been yelling at him earlier in line. He finished his statement off by giving Nick the finger.

"Suck my dick, Asshole." Nick shot back standing up and dusting himself off. He noticed someone approaching him in a peach coloured snowsuit, obviously a woman. She pulled down the scarf over her mouth so she could talk.

"I came by to see if you were okay, I noticed you'd taken a nasty fall, but judging from your foul language I can see that you're just fine."

Despite the fact that he knew she couldn't see his face, Nick blushed anyways. "I'm sorry Miss, I was talking to him."

"Obviously." By the sound of her voice, Nick could tell she wasn't all too impressed. "But still, if you two are going to horse around like that, do it somewhere else. Someone could get hurt. And watch the language, there are children around." With that, she was on her way, continuing down the hill leaving Nick and the 'asshole' alone.

He couldn't believe that she thought they were horsing around, that he'd found his potentially bone breaking fall fun. It was Nick's turn to give the finger this time, accenting it with a not so subtle grab of his crotch before once again heading down the hill. The adrenaline was still pumping in his veins as he'd reached the bottom. He wasn't letting this jerk get to him, Nick was determined to enjoy one of his last few days in Whistler.


~*~*~*~*~*~

Kevin slept for about an hour after Nick left, before his stomach growled with hunger. He himself growled as he rolled out of bed. Before he did anything, Kevin needed some caffeine. The smell of coffee permeated the condo and as he walked into the kitchen, Kevin smiled lovingly at the full pot staring at him, a note from Nick attached to the front.

Kev,

I knew you'd want some coffee when you woke up so I made you some. See, I do know how to work this thing... (although I don't know if I put the right amount of coffee in the filter.. or the right amount of water...).

So have a cup, take a shower and then hopefully I'll see you on the slopes.

Love you,

N

It took him half a cup to be able to open both eyes for longer than a few seconds, the other half enough to be functioning enough to make his way to the bathroom for that much needed shower. Once he was out and dressed, Kevin gulped down a second cup only to contemplate a third. With a glance to the clock, Kevin knew that if he didn't get out now, he would still be sitting there later when Nick finally returned. So, with that thought in his mind, he grabbed his things and headed towards the main area where the action was.

Kevin moved to open the door to the ski rental chalet. He jumped back as someone pushed their way through the door, nearly running him over. "Watch it buddy, get out of my way." The person practically spat at him.

"You ran me over dawg," Kevin replied as he stepped into the building. He shook the feeling of annoyance off as he stepped up to the counter. "Size twelve snowboarding boots please."

Moments later the girl returned shaking her head. "Sorry sir, all out of twelve. How about an eleven."

"You're out? How can you be out?" Kevin asked incredulously. He noticed the bored look on her face as she stared back at him. She turned her head towards the window and pointed at the throngs of people littering the mountains.

"Don't know if you noticed it outside, but it's busy. People have been out skiing already for over five hours. You want an eleven?"

"Eleven's too small, cramps my toes. How about a thirteen?"

"Unsafe to board in loose boots."

Kevin stared at the girl behind the counter. The girl behind the counter stared at Kevin. Neither said a word for a few minutes. Finally she broke.

"Do you want skis? We've got skis in twelve."

"They're not the same thing?"

"Skis and snowboards? No. With skis there are two, only one snowboard."

Kevin fought not to smack this girl silly, now she was being cheeky. "I know that, no need to talk to me like I'm an idiot. I meant the boots, aren't ski boots the same as boarding boots."

"You'd think so. You'd be wrong, but you'd think so."


Kevin glanced at the line up behind him which seemed to be getting longer by the minute, fully aware at the frustration playing out on peoples' faces. Finally he relented. "Okay. Whatever, just give me the god damned skis, all right?"

"No need to yell and cuss at her buddy, not her fault you've got monster sized feet." It was the man who had pushed him out of the way as he was walking into the building. Now he was standing a few feet behind Kevin, arms crossed over his chest impatiently. "And hurry up, some of us want to get out there TODAY!"

"Mind your own business." Kevin growled. He grabbed the skis and stormed outside wondering if he'd been right in wanting to stay in bed all day. He saddled himself into the skis and took a few minutes to get used to the awkward feeling he was hit with. He knew exactly what run Nick was most likely on and as much as he wanted to join him there, he wasn't up to that level yet, at least not on skis It had been years since he'd skied and felt it necessary to hit the bunny hill.

Kevin stood in line and just as he was about to climb onto the seat, someone rushed ahead of him and grabbed his lift seat. "Sorry, I was afraid you'd take forever here too..." the man shouted over his shoulder, giving him a quick wave. Kevin felt that familiar feeling of annoyance creep up. He took note of the man's sleek silver suit and vowed to find out who this idiot was. Later. Now, he wanted to get lost in the rush of flying down the mountain. It was as he was resting at the bottom of the hill he had another encounter with the man who seemed to be focused on ruining his day. "You need training wheels for those things? My grandmother can ski faster than that."

Kevin blew up and tried to remove his boots from the skis. He'd be faster on his feet and more steady if they were off, unfortunately, he couldn't release the latch. "Fuck you, Buddy. Gimme a second and we can settle this."

The man simply laughed which only further enraged Kevin. "Yeah right, I'll be back in about an hour when you're ready." With that, he skied off and got into the line for the ski lift.

Frustrated, Kevin hadn't recognized the person who was approaching from the other side. "Kevin?" He turned around sharply.

"What?" He saw a girl in a soft pink suit hold up her hands in defense.

"At ease, I'm not going to hurt you."

Kevin recognized her as Leanne's friend Lise. He raised his goggles and smiled apologetically. "Sorry Lise, I've just had a bit of a rough morning. Some asshole has been terrorizing me all day."

"No problem. I saw you coming down and waited to say hi." Kevin recognized the look she was giving him, shy but definitely interested. If he were even remotely available he would have jumped at the chance, but his life was already complicated enough and he didn't have room for one more, even a vacation fling. "Have you had lunch?"

Kevin shook his head and looked towards the chalet. "Nope, got out here like twenty minutes ago. I've had a late start to the day. Anyone else out?"

"Yeah, I just ran into Peter, Leanne and some of the others. They just finished lunch and went back out on the intermediate run. Nick was with them."

Kevin's stomach fluttered at the mention of Nick's name but he only nodded his head. "You didn't eat?"

"Nah I got a late start too."

"Well, I might go in in about an hour for something to eat? If you want to join me I'd be more than happy with the company." Kevin noted how big her smile got and the excitement in her eyes. At the last minute he added, "Although I do feel I have to tell you, I have someone back home." The recognition was clear in her eyes and Kevin hated the way her face fell slightly. She nodded and shrugged her shoulders.

"I figured as much. It would definitely be too much to ask for you to be single." Lise gave a good natured laugh and Kevin was relieved. "Thank you for telling me before I made a huge idiot of myself."

Before Kevin could reassure him that it was fine, someone skied by and stopped suddenly, showering them with snow. When the shock wore off and Kevin dusted his face off the person was gone and all he could see was the back of a sleek silver snowsuit. Once again his rage returned.

"Son of a fucking bitch! I'm going to kill that motherfucker when I catch him."

Lise put her hand on Kevin's arm and gave him a sympathetic smile. "Rather than waiting an hour, maybe it would be best for you to give it a rest for the day now. You seem to be aggravated and it's definitely not safe to be out there while you're in a distracted mood. You don't want to lose concentration and break something."

Kevin sighed and took one last look at the mountain in front of him. She was right, he hadn't wanted to ski but snowboard. Now he was being terrorized by this idiot and he'd lost any desire to go back up there. He allowed for Lise to lead him towards the chalet so they could trade in their gear for their own boots.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Nick had gone a few hours without seeing the asshole that had cut him off earlier that day and so he'd let the man slip from his mind. It was just as he'd started thinking about what they were going to do that night that he let his guard down and the man appeared again, boarding past him. He was so close that Nick could practically feel him brushing past him and almost lost his balance. He growled and it was then that he heard "pussy" call through the air at him. Nick knew it was intended for him and felt his whole body tense up. When he got to the bottom of the run the man was nowhere in sight and Nick was seething.

"What the fuck is that guy's problem?" Peter asked as Nick joined him. Since they'd caught up that morning they'd been doing runs together. Lise wasn't too far behind Nick so they waited for her to catch up, Nick shaking his head angrily.

"I have no fucking idea. But I swear, when I find out who the fuck he is I'm going to kick his scrawny ass."

"You won't know who he is unless he's on the hill. He'd be in regular clothes and all you know is the colour of his suit."

"Oh I'll know. Fucker." Nick's face was set in an angry scowl and Peter laughed. Come on Pretty Boy, it's almost time for dinner. We've been out here all day and I'm wiped." Minutes later Leanne joined them and Peter informed her that they were heading in.

"Good." She breathed in exhaustion. "I am dying here."

They managed to trade in their boards and boots without incident and headed towards the chalet. Nick had been surprised that he hadn't seen Kevin all day. He figured that the older man had simply decided to stay in all day and was a little disappointed that he hadn't come out for at least a few runs or just to say hey. The time on his watch said it was quarter to six. He pulled his cell phone out of his coat pocket and dialed the number's to Kevin's phone. It rang twice before Kevin answered. "Hello?"

"Hey.." Nick stopped himself from saying baby just in time, letting out a little cough instead. "Sorry about that Kev. Uhhh, we're heading to dinner and I thought I'd see if you wanted to join us."

"Yeah. Actually I'm in the lounge with Lise. We're sitting by the fire. We've got a table for six o'clock so just meet us in there when you guys are ready."

"Ok. And Kev, I gotta tell you something. Remind me okay?"

"Yeah Nicky, me too. See you in a bit."

Nick shut off his phone, relaying the message to Peter and Leanne.

~*~*~*~

Kevin ended the call and focused his attention back to Lise. He was just about to tell her that they'd meet us in the restaurant in fifteen minutes when he was suddenly drenched with water from above. "FUCK!" he screamed, jumping out of the chair.

"Sorry dude, you should be more careful," the voice behind him said, no hint of apology in his voice.

Kevin wiped the excess water off of his face and realized that this HAD to be the guy that had been terrorizing him all day. Turning around he was prepared to beat the shit out of whoever it was but upon seeing the person his jaw dropped and his eyes were open wide. "What the fuck?"

"Richardson, how's it goin?"

Kevin was speechless.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Nick followed as the waitress led them to the table that had been reserved for them. He figured that Kevin and Lise would be there waiting for them since they'd been in the same building when he'd called, but the table was empty. "Are our other friends here?" He asked. The waitress gave him a strange look and waved towards the table.

"Do you see them?"

Peter and Leanne both snickered and Nick blushed. "Have they left us a message? They told us they'd be here."

"They're not. Sorry." With that, she walked away leaving Nick to grumble at his embarrassment. It had definitely not been the best of days and he was feeling unsettled.

"Fuck," he muttered under his breath. Just as he was about to sit down someone pulled the chair out from under him and he fell to the floor. Sprawled out on his ass, he heard Peter screaming at the person.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

Leanne's voice was next. "Holy FUCK. Oh my god it's you!"

Nick had endured enough, his temper completely lost at this point. He had a feeling he knew that this was the person who'd been fucking with him all day. "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?" he screamed not caring that the whole restaurant was watching. Nick turned to face the person, stopping instantly.

"Keep it down, you're gonna cause a scene," they whispered. Nick saw the man's face turn pink in embarrassment, a smile curled on his lips. He rubbed his eyes with his hand before looking again.

"Justin?"

Justin shrugged sheepishly. "Hey Nicky."

Nick thought he was going to faint from shock.

~*~*~*~*~

"Kirkpatrick? What the fuck are you doing here?" Kevin asked, the anger dissipated and was replaced with confusion. He watched as Chris' eyes twinkle and he gave him a discreet wink.

"Messing with you, that's what I'm doing here. God you're so easy, Richardson. Such a pussy boy."

Kevin would have been offended by that remark but he couldn't work up the energy to do so. Plus his mind was already working overtime and he figured that if Chris was here then Justin would be not too far away. Really, why would Chris come to THIS resort if it wasn't for a specific reason, and Justin wanting to come and visit was reason enough, so the younger man HAD to be around somewhere. Kevin had the notion that Chris knew his safety was guaranteed by his best friend and hence, his lack of fear of pissing Kevin off. "You're lucky Christopher."

Chris only nodded. "Oh, I know." They shared faux menacing glares for a few more minutes until finally Chris nodded towards the restaurant and they both grinned. "We better get in there though, if I know Nickolas, he's probably already killed J for the shit he's been pulling on him all day."

Judging from the day he'd had, he could only imagine the terror that Justin had been tormenting Nick with. Suddenly, the day had got a little brighter.

~*~*~*~*~*

"You are such a fucker, you know that Justin?" Nick spat, trying to sound angry but knowing there was too much excitement in his voice for it to be effective.

"But you love me anyways."

Nick raised an eyebrow. "Doubtful."

Justin invited himself to sit down, aware of the strange looks Nick's friends were giving him. He'd been wondering all day who these people were and where the hell Kevin was, but hadn't been able to do more than piss Nick off, all part of his and Chris' master plan. He knew that they wouldn't suspect it to be either of them, which only made the day more fun. "Whatever Carter. Now introduce me to your friends, I don't believe we've met."

Nick fought to remain calm and collected. All he wanted to do was find Kevin and tell him that Justin was there, he'd made it and it changed EVERYTHING they'd planned for that night. "This is Peter and Leanne, Peter and Leanne, Justin."

"Timberlake." Leanne whispered, awestruck.

"Very good," Justin laughed kindly as he shook her hand. "You've heard of me then?"

Leanne realized he was teasing and she blushed, swearing under her breath. "Fuck."

"Yeah Lee, still haven't gotten any smoother. Keep trying though."

"Fuck you, Carter."

Justin laughed, nodding his approval. "Seems smooth to me! I like her already."

"No one asked you," Nick gently kicked Justin under the table as he flashed him a smile. He had so many questions but knew it would have to wait until later when they were alone. Nick then introduced Justin to the rest of the table, explaining to the younger man who they were and how they'd all met. It was just as he was ending the introductions that Kevin came into view, Lise trailing not too far behind. Nick couldn't wait until he saw the look on Kevin's face when he saw Justin was there. He was disappointed when Kevin grinned, not at all shocked at Justin's presence.

"Timberlake," Kevin said calmly. "Would you PLEASE take this elfish infant off of my hands." Kevin moved out of the way to allow for Chris to step out. He had a feeling that although Nick knew Justin was there, he wouldn't suspect Chris to be there as well. His assumption was proven correctly at the way Nick's eyes widened and his jaw dropped in shock. Kevin felt a pull of jealousy at the excitement dancing in Nick's eyes, how happy it seemed to make him.

"Chris?" Nick breathed, feeling as though the wind was knocked out of him. The thought that Justin would bring someone with him hadn't even crossed Nick's mind. "What are you doing here?"

"Carter," Chris tried to keep his reaction at seeing Nick under control. His own pulse was racing and his groin tightened in response. The fresh mountain air certainly agreed with the blonde, his already luminous skin glowing even more. He was sure that everyone at the table was already suspicious at their presence and for that he tried to be as non challant about it as possible. "We thought we'd get away for a while and Lance mentioned something about the skiing in Whistler. So we thought we'd come and check it out, didn't expect to see you two here."

Nick blushed and looked down, feeling silly at the way he was gaping. Not only was Justin there, Chris had come too, something he hadn't expected. "Yeah, we must have the same travel agent eh?"

Leanne giggled and punched Nick on the shoulder lightly. "You've spent all week making fun of our accents, now we've got you talkin like us Carter." That caused the whole table to burst into laughter.

"Pretty soon we'll be using the word 'hoser' properly and be able to understand what you're saying most of the time." Kevin was glad for the reprieve. They hadn't exactly done a good job at pretending that it was coincidence that they'd all be skiing at the same resort at the same time, especially when they weren't exactly known to be on friendly terms. Thankfully no one seemed to really care, as everyone had pretty much gone back to their previous conversations.

"You are going to join us right?" Peter asked as he pulled up two more chairs to the table. We've got more than enough room."

Nick and Justin exchanged a look before Justin nodded. "Yeah man, thanks."

It was just as everyone had gotten their entrees that Nick got a moment to ask Justin what was going on. "Not that I'm not happy to see you, because fuck.. I totally am. But what's going on?"

Justin snickered as he discreetly squeezed Nick's thigh under the table. "I got two days off. Well, I took two days off. So I wanted to come up and surprise you."

A few chairs down Chris and Kevin were having the same conversation. "So J thought it would look less suspicious if there were two of us. Like, if he just showed up here alone and you two happened to be here... You know?"

Kevin nodded. "It makes sense."

"Holy shit Nick, you were fucking hilarious today. I thought you were going to kick my ass in line for the ski lift this morning."

The memory from earlier that day filled Nick's mind. As he remembered the fall he took his eyes clouded over and a frown appeared on his face. "You. You fucking nearly killed me today." His eyes locked with Justin's and he saw regret and pain fill their depths.

"I know. My heart was in my throat. I thought you would have seen me in time and could get out of the way. When you didn't and I saw you go down, holy fuck, I nearly pissed my pants. I was going to keep going down and then goad you when you got to the bottom, but you fell and I stopped so fast I nearly went down too. I waited until I saw you get up... if you hadn't have gotten up in a few minutes, I was going to rush over and..."

Nick felt Justin's body tense up and he squeezed his hand that was still resting on his thigh reassuringly. "It's okay. I'm okay."

Justin took a deep breath, willing his heart to settle down. He would never forget the sight of Nick falling over, face first into snow and rolling down the hill, all because of him. He opened his eyes to look at Nick, surprised to see a look of amusement on his face.

"You alright?"

"Yeah," Justin said softly, embarrassed.

"Richardson, holy shit you're hilarious when you're angry. If I hadn't known that Justin would save me from you killing me, I would have been scared out of my mind." Chris wiggled his eyebrows, thankful that Kevin had been such a good sport about the day's events. He and Kevin had never really been all that close, or friendly, but Kevin was important to two of the most important people in his life so for that Chris had to trust them. From a sexual point of view, he could see what had Nick and Justin's knickers in a wad, but from a platonic point of view, Chris had no idea what the two younger men saw in him.

Kevin rolled his eyes good naturedly. "Yeah yeah. I probably should thank you. I hadn't really wanted to go out there today but didn't have an excuse not to. You were the perfect excuse."

"Kevin Richardson? A mere mortal like the rest of us? I never would have guessed. I didn't think Kevin Richardson needed an excuse to do anything, or not to do anything, as the case seems to be."

"Don't push your luck, Kirkpatrick." Kevin gave a wry smile. He was still slightly giddy with the knowledge that Justin was there, and there was a possibility of the three of them, him, Justin and Nick of course, having some alone time later.

As they were heading out of the restaurant, Lise put her hand on Kevin's arm to catch his attention. "Are you coming out with us tonight?"

He looked down at the expression on her face, recognizing the look of hope in her eyes. He was flattered yet, unfortunately not interested. Just as he was about to answer Justin interrupted.

"Where's out? And who's us?" He winked at Kevin before turning his attention on Lise, who instantly blushed and averted her eyes. Justin grinned at her reaction. "Sorry to interrupt. I'm always up for a good party."

Just as Kevin was about to protest, he felt Nick's hand on his arm. "Shhh, don't worry," he whispered, softly.

"We're all going into town to a club there. The gang, our gang. And since Nick and Kev didn't come out last night, they'd said they were coming out tonight."

Justin looked at the small group who had stayed behind, they all nodded in agreement. "Room for two more?"

"Yeah of course. Any friends of Nick and Kevin's are friends of ours. They'll fill you in on the where and when. So, you two up for it?" Peter asked, looking first at Nick then Kevin.

Nick nodded. "Yeah, totally up for it. We'll be there after ten."

The four of them headed to Nick and Kevin's condo, curious as to where all of Chris and Justin's things were. "We have to stop by the parking lot behind your row of condos. We left everything in the car we rented."

Nick and Kevin laughed at the sheepish expressions on Justin and Chris' faces. "You two are too much." Nick's hand unconsciously sought out Justin's, their fingers immediately lacing together. Neither noticed the way Kevin's eyes lingered, nor how Chris noticed it all taking place. "How long are you up for?"

It was Chris that answered Nick's question. "We're leaving the day after tomorrow, flight's at 8pm."

Kevin chuckled, "Same flight we're on."

"We know." Chris and Justin said in unison, Justin's eye catching Kevin's.

They brought in the bags from the car and headed towards the living room, Chris the last to join them. The sexual tension was so thick that you could almost cut it with a knife and he shook his head back and forth. "No. No no no!"

"Awwww," Justin pouted as he crawled onto Nick's lap on the couch. Neither Nick or Kevin knew what Chris was banning them from. "But I wanna."

"I don't care. I didn't come up here to hide in the bedroom or wherever else I can find sanctuary so you could fuck all day and night."

Nick cocked his head to the side. "You didn't?" he asked seriously.

"No! If you guys start fucking around now then no one's going out tonight and if that's the case, why the fuck did you guys agree to clubbing tonight?"

"He's got a point." Kevin pointed out, slightly frustrated. "Why DID we agree to go out tonight? I was more than ready to give some excuse as to why we couldn't go out."

"Blame him." Nick pointed at Justin who was still pouting. Justin climbed off of Nick's lap and headed to Kevin's. Chris took that opportunity to take his younger friend's place, gently nuzzling Nick's neck.

"I thought it would be fun..." Justin took Kevin's lips in a soft kiss, mewling as Kevin deepened it and slipped his tongue into his mouth. "But this is fun too."

Nick watched Kevin and Justin, feeling his cock harden. Chris must have felt it too because he turned around and grinned at him. "God Carter, like a fucking dog or something, humping my leg." He bit Nick's ear gently, growling. "Hasn't Richardson been sexing you regularly here?"

"I've been sexing him well enough thank you very much," Kevin protested angry that his ability to satisfy Nick was being put into question. Chris simply looked at Nick who nodded.

"He has. Damn fine if I may say so myself."

"You may."

"Thank you." Nick kissed Chris lightly before pulling him down and curling up on the couch. "But Chris is right though. We should just chill out and relax for a bit. Catch up, and I don't mean with sex. That can be later."

Kevin sighed, leaning back in the chair with Justin curled up against his side. "Yeah, how's the recording going?"

Their conversation brought them until nine o'clock when Chris noticed it was time for them to start getting ready if they wanted to be anywhere on time. Although, on time for them meant at least half an hour late for whatever they were doing. Still, they all agreed that starting to get ready sounded like a good idea, giving them plenty of time to get distracted along the way.

It was around ten when the phone in the condo rang, Peter was calling to let them know that there was going to be a change of venue. The main bar at the resort apparently had two dollar drinks and they'd taken a group poll and agreed that was where they were going. "Oh good, gives us more time to get ready. Kevin takes forever to get his hair just right." Nick laughed at the pillow Kevin tossed towards him while giving him the finger. "Yeah, we'll see you guys there Pete. Later."

It was somewhere around eleven that they arrived, Nick spotting the girls on the dance floor almost immediately. "Later losers, I'm gonna go find me someone to dance with."

Chris nodded and headed towards the bar, Justin hot on his tail. Kevin stood back, surveying the room before him. He knew that they wouldn't be able to dance with each other, or spend as much time together as they'd wanted to while at the bar, and so they'd agreed to keep it cool while out. Everything would have to wait until they got home from the bar. Lise immediately came bouncing over, flashing him a wide grin. "Hey Kevin, come dance?"

Kevin couldn't help but nod, thankful that it wouldn't be too hard to find a distraction for the night.


Eventually all four of them were dancing, each having found a partner to move to the music with. They took turns buying rounds, getting more and more drunk as the night passed. At one point all four of them had decided to take a break, thankful when Peter told them they had tables reserved at the back. They were sitting around the table, a few people Kevin didn't recognize having joined them.

"I've got to go back to the condo, I forgot something." Justin slurred. Chris only cocked his eyebrow in disbelief.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah. Dude.. fuck man. Anyone wanna come with me?"

Kevin shook his head. The last thing he wanted to do was go out in the cold, walk back to the condo and then walk back, just to go back again in about an hour or two. He was fine and toasty right where he was. "Your problem man, I'm not going back out there 'til I'm ready to go home."

"You don't want to go back with me?" Justin asked again, sticking his lip out in a sexy pout. Kevin was immune though and laughed.

"No."

Justin turned to Nick who was smiling at him wickedly. "I'll go. I could use some ..fresh air." They were up in point two seconds, tripping over each other to get to their coats. Justin's eyes were wide and bright, his grin taking up his whole face.

"We'll be back..." He said as he patted Chris and Kevin on the heads.

"Where are they going?" One of Peter's friends Colby asked, laughing at how Justin and Nick were stumbling through the club.

"Justin forgot something at the condo and Nick's a little drunk, so he went with him to get some fresh air." Colby nodded.

"Fuck. Fresh air sounds good right now. I'm so ripped." He sat down and Chris could only chuckle in amusement.

An hour passed by and Kevin realized that Nick and Justin hadn't returned yet. He'd been so busy dancing that he'd barely noticed the time flying by. He found himself sitting with Chris, both alone at the table. His cock throbbed and he palmed it, moaning loudly. "Jesus, I'm so fucking horny."


Chris giggled softly. "You should have gone back to the condo with J."

Kevin could only stare at Chris confused. He didn't know what one had to do with other. "Huh?"

"You're horny, you should have gone back with Justin." Chris could tell that Kevin was a little slow in processing what he was talking about. He shook his head and laughed a bit harder this time. "Oh please. You didn't think that Justin really forgot something do you?" Kevin didn't speak and Chris continued. "What do YOU think is taking Nick and Justin so long?"

It was then that Kevin realized what that gleam in Justin's eye meant, and how he'd practically begged him to come back to the condo with him. He'd been too drunk to really think about anything, but Nick had agreed almost instantly. Suddenly Kevin felt like the stupidest man in the world. "Fuck.. what's wrong with me?"

Chris gently patted Kevin's thigh. "Don't worry about it Kev. You'll have him all to yourself later tonight. You'll get some."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Kevin asked, squinting his eyes. He never was good at reading Chris, especially when he was being so cryptic.

"Nothing, just that Nick mentioned something about it being too long since we've spent time together, so he' going to hang with me while you and J spend some time together." Chris could see the surprise in Kevin's eyes, he simply shrugged in response. "Come on Richardson, Nick and I aren't exactly the best kept secret."

"There's a difference between knowing about it and ... KNOWING about it. I mean, it's not something I've ever really thought about." It wasn't, and suddenly Kevin was feeling a tad uneasy about Nick being with Chris later, especially with him in the same house. The drinks he'd had earlier were churning in his stomach.

"Don't go getting all possessive now. You've been sharing him this long..."

It wasn't just the sharing thing, but there was also the fact that Kevin was slightly confused. He'd assumed that if they were all there, him Justin and Nick, they'd be spending the night together. And if Chris was there, knowing Chris' bisexuality, Kevin assumed that he was going to be joining them too. His whole night was turning into one big ball of confusion. He voiced his last thought out loud to which Chris shook his head negatively.

"Oh no. J and I.. We're not like that. We don't..." Chris knew Kevin understood what he was saying.

"Never?"

"Never. And you. Well no offense, but you're really not my type."

Kevin would have been offended had it not been so true. He knew that Chris and Lance had been together off and on in the past, and Chris and Nick had always had some weird relationship. Chris seemed to have a thing for younger men, hot, blonde younger men. Picturing Justin and Nick, Kevin had to say that there was definitely nothing wrong with younger men. His lips curled into a sexy smirk.. Before he could speak, Justin's familiar face was weaving through the crowds, this time covered in a lazy grin, his skin flushed and eyes glazed over. Nick wasn't too far behind, the same expression on his face. Kevin groaned one more time at the regret pooling in his stomach.

~*~*~*~*~

They got halfway down the road towards the condo when Nick stopped, tugging drunkenly on Justin's arm. "We're going to fuck right? You didn't forget anything?"

Justin shrugged noncommittally. "I did forget something." He smiled at the whimper that came from Nick's lips. Turning around he looked to make sure they were alone before kissing him passionately. "I forgot the condoms and if you're going to fuck me, you better be wearing one."

Nick's pout turned into a smile. "I get to fuck you?"

"You want me to fuck you?"

Nick kind of did, but he also wanted to fuck Justin so either way he was good to go. They'd decide when they got to the condo, all that mattered was that he got off. Coats were left in the front foyer and Nick ran into the bedroom, leaving a trail of clothes in his wake. By the time Justin caught up, they were both naked and ready to go.

"Fuck me.." Nick pleaded. He'd been leaning in the direction of him topping Justin, but as soon as he saw Justin's erection, plastered to his stomach and demanding attention he could feel his mouth watering. He wanted that man inside of him. He piled all of the pillows he could find against the head of the bed and pushed Justin to sit down. He stumbled when Justin fought him, pushing him to be sitting against the headboard.

"I wanna be on top of you... I wanna fuck you so hard..." Justin growled, his voice low and raspy. They started on a wildly passionate kiss, enough to take both of their breath away. "Open your legs for me, be my whore Nicky."

Nick was practically bent in half, Justin wasting no time in sliding deep inside of him. They both cried out, Nick from the lack of preparation and Justin from how tight Nick was for him. Justin had planned on waiting until they were both ready, but Nick was ready to go.

"Now. Go J."

"Wait.."

"NOW."

Justin bit his lip as he pulled up and slammed back down, filling Nick violently. As much as Justin wanted to swallow the moans and grunts that were escaping Nick's lips he couldn't reach, not at the angle they were at. Instead, he focused his eyes on Nick's face and began a pace that was fast and hard, trying to hit his prostate as often as possible.

It was an uncomfortable position for Nick, but he couldn't have cared less at the moment. All he could focus on was the feel of Justin fucking him, raw, wild, unforgiving. "Missed you.." He grunted softly, his voice barely audible.

"You too baby.. love you.." Justin wheezed back. He gave a few more thrusts before his balls began to tighten, a sure sign of his orgasm. "Now.. Nicky gonna cum."

"Not yet.. not there..." Nick pleaded for Justin to hold on for a little while longer. It was to no avail though because seconds later he could feel Justin's body release inside of him, his orgasm hitting him full force. When Justin finally pulled out and moved to the side, Nick was still hard and his breathing laboured. He figured if he was going to cum, it would have to be by jerking off, what he didn't expect was for Justin to roll over and swallow his erection down deep into his throat. With more energy that Justin should have had at that moment he gave Nick one of the most intense blow jobs he was able to remember. It took mere minutes for Nick's back to arch and his cock to explode, shooting into Justin's mouth and throat.

They both turned to look at one another and giggled drunkenly. Justin rolled so that his head was resting on Nick's chest and licked his lips, still able to taste Nick on them. "I can't believe you came like that." Nick laughed. "Couldn't even wait for me."

"Do you KNOW how hot you are like that? All fucking bent like a pretzel, ass up in the air. I wanted to pull out and fucking rim you so bad, just slip my tongue inside and taste you." Justin knew that if they weren't so pressed for time and had to get back to the club he would have done just that, flipped Nick over and spread him open so he could taste him. Even if just a little. "I'm surprised I lasted as long as I did."

Nick pulled Justin up to kiss him, wishing they could stay longer. But they couldn't so he sat up and sighed when they pulled apart. "That was hot. Like it used to be, you know?"

Justin nodded. "I know. I miss those days."

"Me too."

They quickly washed up in the bathroom before redressing and hurrying back to the club. Over an hour had passed and both men hoped that no one had noticed their prolonged absence. As Justin wove his way through the crowd, he finally located Kevin and Chris, both sitting at the table in the back, just where they'd left them. He knew he should wipe the grin off of his face, but couldn't. Justin could feel the warmth of Nick's body pressed against his back and shivered. From the looks on Kevin's face, he'd finally realized what Justin had gone back to the condo for.

"Good evening, Ladies," Justin said as he picked up Kevin's beer and drank half of it down. It soothed his parched throat and as he waved to the waitress for another he fought not to giggle.

"Took you two fucking long enough," Chris said, pretending to be annoyed.

Nick sat down and shook his head. "Didn't take Justin nearly long enough."

"Fuck you, I made up for it."

Chris raised an eyebrow and Kevin whimpered at the lost opportunity. Nick nodded in agreement, his grin telling them everything they needed to know. His gaze focused on Chris as his cock hardened at what he knew was going to happen later on.

"So, I'm taking you'll be.." Chris hinted to find out what he could expect when the night was over.

"Lets just say that I'm sure I'll be able to TOP what Justin did. I was feeling under the weather a few minutes ago but I'm back at the top of my game for tonight."

Justin groaned and rolled his eyes while Nick laughed. Chris simply drooled and could feel his ass throbbing at the prospect. He knew all he needed for the night.

"Huh?" Kevin was completely lost.

Nick leaned in to fill him in on the missed conversation. "I just told Chris that when we'd gone back to the condo, Justin fucked me into the bed baby. Drilled me like a fucking jackhammer, so when we go back and while you're fucking Justin, I'll be fucking Chris. Chris likes to know whether or not he'll be doing the fucking or being fucked, gets him in the right frame of mind." Kevin looked at Chris who merely smiled. "But I'd watch out, Justin said something about wanting to stick his tongue in my ass. How pretty I was spread open for him, so be ready for him to flip you over and have a taste.." Nick pulled away as innocently as he leaned in and took a swig from his new beer. Kevin was done for the night. If he was planning on being coherent enough to know what was happening, let alone be able to get it up, he'd have to stop drinking now.

"Holy shit, you two finally returned," Peter laughed, sitting down beside Nick. Everyone at the table held their breath, wondering if he'd notice the freshly fucked look on Nick's face. "What took you so long?"

Justin snorted, causing everyone to look at him. "We fucking got lost. Nick's all 'I know a shortcut' but when he drinks, he loses all sense of direction."

"Screw you Timberlake," Nick shot back as he rolled his eyes. "See if I help you next time." Discreetly winking at Chris, Kevin and Justin, Nick stood up and stretched. "Now, if I remember correctly, there were a few hot girlies on the dance floor, hopefully they're still out there."

"First call for last call," echoed the DJ's voice throughout the bar. It was quarter to two and as they'd long since learned, last call was at two-fifteen. The bars were usually emptied out by two thirty.

Nick looked over the shoulder of the girl in his arms, easily locating Kevin who was wrapped up in Lise's embrace. Chris was talking animatedly with Colby and Peter while Justin was dancing with Leanne.

"Last call." The next call came fifteen minutes later.

"Final call for last call." Nick checked his watch, two fifteen. Time to go home. It took ten minutes to get everyone together and out the front door. They all said good-bye with Kevin assuring that they wouldn't see him until at least lunch tomorrow, maybe dinner.

"If you're lucky."

The group laughed in acknowledgment. "I hear that. I think I'm just gonna have a quiet day in bed tomorrow," Leanne admitted with a yawn. "Night all."

It took them mere minutes to scurry through the resort to their condo, Kevin throwing the door open almost immediately. Before they could decide what to do and when, Nick had Chris pinned against the back of the couch and he'd taken his mouth in a steamy kiss.

Justin whimpered, mouth open and eyes half lidded. He watched as Nick's hand slid under Chris' shirt to fumble with the buckle on his belt while his own hand moved down to stroke his own hardening cock. "Damn."

"Nicky.. bedroom..." Chris moaned as his mouth was covered once again with Nick's, the blonde's tongue darting playfully between his lips.

"No. Right here.. wanna fuck you right here." Nick successfully got Chris' belt undone and worked quickly on his zipper and button. Seconds later his pants were around his ankles and Nick had dropped to his knees.

Had anyone asked Kevin even ten minutes earlier if he'd be interested in watching Nick and Chris fuck, he'd have shook his head and told them no thank you, but as he was watching Chris' cock slide into Nick's mouth, his head thrown back and fingers laced in blonde spikes, Kevin was finding that he couldn't look away. He was barely breathing, finding the energy to avert his gaze to something else was nearly impossible. Without realizing it, Kevin slipped his hand into his jeans and into his underwear to find his cock which was throbbing painfully.

Nick was vaguely aware of Justin and Kevin watching, but for all intents and purposes, he could have really cared less. All that mattered was taking Chris as deep into his throat as possible all the while getting him as close to the edge without bringing him over. He wanted Chris almost about to cum, and then he was going to turn him around, bend him over the couch and fuck him hard. His cock throbbed in his pants at the thought.

Kevin watched Chris start to thrust forcefully into Nick's mouth. The next thing he knew Justin was at his side and he was resting against the wall. Justin nuzzled his neck and licked at his throat. "That make you hot? Fuck, so damn sexy isn't it?"

"Are they always like this?" Chris had spread his legs and Nick was finger fucking him while still bobbing on his erection.

Justin nodded despite the fact that Kevin wasn't looking at him. "Yeah. From what Chris says it's hot, monkey's swinging from the chandeliers, melt the condom right off your cock sex."

Kevin whimpered. Justin took this opportunity to pull Kevin towards the bedroom. "Wha?" He asked dazed when Nick and Chris were out of view. They headed down a hallway into the extra bedroom they hadn't been using the past week.

"Either we can watch them fuck, or we can fuck. Your call!"



Kevin barely blinked before pulling Justin in for a bruising kiss. Their clothes practically fell off and what felt like minutes later they were sprawled together on the bed, limbs entwined. "I can't believe I didn't catch your meaning earlier." Kevin felt the need to excuse his earlier stupidity. There was still residual regret in the misunderstanding.

Justin giggled as he kissed Kevin's lips softly. "When you said no I thought you were kidding. But then you gave me that 'what?' look and I realized you were serious. I wanted to reach over the table, grab you by the ears and kiss you so hard and tell you I wanted you to come back so we could fuck. Nick had his hand on my lap, pretty much jerking me off under the table."

With one swift movement, Kevin flipped them over so that Justin was on his stomach, legs spread and ass in the air. He slid between his legs and carefully prepared the younger man for his erection. "Chris was fucking laughing at me. I was complaining how horny I was and he said I should have come back with you. I had no idea what he was talking about." Kevin couldn't help but whimper as he placed the head of his erection at Justin's waiting hole, pressing in just slightly.

Justin arched his back at the blunt hardness pressing at his asshole. He threw his head back and groaned loudly in anticipation, trying to push back on Kevin. Not that I didn't enjoy Nick, it was fucking amazing, always is. I just figured it would be the three of us. Me having you both at the same time to catch up for what I've missed." Justin let out a low yelp as Kevin took hold of his hips and thrust in sharply. Kevin cocked his head in the air, hearing a similar cry coming from the other end of the condo.

"Fuck Nick.. harder.." Chris pleaded as Nick gently slid into him. He was bent over the back of the couch, ass in the air and Nick holding onto his hips for leverage. There was pain from where Nick was gripping his skin with too much force, but he enjoyed the pain. He wanted more but Nick wouldn't comply, he was hell bent on taking it slow and sweet.

"I've missed you Chris, I want to cherish this memory." Nick had to fight from laughing out loud. The last thing he wanted right now was slow and sweet, but he wasn't about to tell Chris that. He just loved messing with him.

"Don't be such a fucking pussy boy. Be a man and fuck me." Chris yelped at the sharp slap that resulted from his demand, a coy grin dancing on his lips.

Nick's hands tightened on Chris' hips, finger shaped marks appearing on the skin. Nick paused for a moment, moving down so that his mouth was right next to Chris' ear. "Fucking bitch." He growled before roughly biting Chris' shoulder. He knew the older man wasn't expecting it and so took pleasure in the moan that sounded. Nick bit Chris one more time before pulling out and slamming back in, as hard and with as much force as physically possible. The couch jumped slightly as Chris thrust into it, Nick heard him whimper softly. The one thing Nick loved about sex in this position was being able to watch his cock slide in and out of his lover's body, the dual sensations of feeling and being able to see it at the same time, unable to focus on anything but the simple act of the fucking. He straightened his back just enough to still have firm leverage but able to see better. It was then that he knew it wouldn't be long.

"Nick.. almost there..." Chris groaned. His orgasm was creeping up steadily and he'd long since relinquished all power to the blonde. With each of Nicks thrust into his body, Chris found himself thrown harder against the back of the couch, his cock brushing painfully against the rough fabric of the sofa. It was just one more pleasurable sensation that was assaulting his body.

"Me too..." Nick growled as he adjusted his angle and hit a spot deep inside of Chris. That one thrust caused for Chris to jerk and spasm, signaling his orgasm. The reaction was for his body to tighten around Nick's erection, pulling him deep into his own orgasm. Two equally passionate screams resonated through the condo, clearly heard above the grunting and moaning coming from the bedroom.

"I've never heard him yell like that," Justin panted into the pillow he currently had his face pressed against. Kevin was moving slowly over top of him, sliding almost entirely out of his body before pushing back in. It was the truth, as often as he'd heard Chris during orgasm, which was quite a bit since they'd pretty much been in each other's back pockets for the better part of 10 years, he'd never heard him scream anything like he just had with Nick. For some reason, Justin didn't think it was the first time Nick had elicited that reaction from the older man.

Kevin dragged his tongue across Justin's shoulder, quickening his pace. Hearing Nick scream in release had brought something primal out in him. Kevin had originally wanted to draw things out with Justin, take his time and make the younger man beg for him, which Justin was close to doing, but something had changed and now all he wanted was his release. The release he'd been denied all night. He fought to keep his mind from wandering to what had happened in the living room. Kevin didn't want to think about Nick and Chris together, he wanted to focus on Justin and how he'd spread his legs a little wider, giving Kevin more room to move. "You want me to make you yell like that?" Kevin asked, voice low and raspy.

Justin's response came in the form of a low whimpered "Yeah". With his lip caught between his teeth and his eyes tightly shut, Justin enjoyed the feeling of Kevin manipulating his body expertly. It felt good to the point of pain and Justin was doing everything he could to hold on to the orgasm Kevin was trying to pull out of him.

"Let it go," Kevin grunted, realizing that Justin was fighting it.

"Wanna make it last.."

Kevin growled as he slid his hand underneath Justin's body to grasp his cock firmly. He faltered slightly before shifting their positions so that he was able to do both at the same time, fuck him and jerk him off. Both men trembled as Justin lost control, cumming fiercely. His body began to twitch and his screams echoed through the whole condo.

"Took them fucking long enough," Chris chuckled as he stepped under the warm spray of the shower. The moment they had sufficiently caught their breath, both he and Nick had scrambled for the shower needing to clean up. Nick was rank not only from the sex THEY'D had but also from the club and his tryst with Justin earlier, and Chris was never one to pass up wet, naked time with Nick.

Nick nodded as he rolled his eyes. "Knowing him he probably held off as long as possible, he knows it pisses Kev off and the more pissed off he is the harder he fucks." Nick watched Chris' face scrunch up and he gave a mock shudder. "Fuck off, you can't deny how fucking hot he is."

"Hot I will give him, fuckable of course, anything more than that?... not interested."

Nick trembled under Chris' intense gaze. Their eyes were locked as the water beat down around them. Their mouths came together in a gentle kiss, bodies pressing together sensually. He loved how at ease Chris was with his own body, and in return how at ease he made Nick feel in his own. He didn't have the pressure to be physically perfect and he knew Chris felt the same way. He loved the older man's extra weight, the way Chris was small but still strong and protective at the same time. When he was with Chris, it was one of the few times that he felt delicate and not so huge. Chris' arms went around Nick's waist and he sighed into the kiss, enjoying how good the simple touch felt.

Banging on the door broke them from their peaceful shower. Justin's voice carried through the steamy room "Hurry the fuck up bitches, I need the shower."

Nick's laughter was loud enough to be heard over the running water. "Fuck you asshole. We'll be out when we're done."

Almost instantly the water turned off and Chris pinched the fleshy globes of Nick's ass. "We're done now J." When Nick pouted at him Chris kissed his mouth softly. "Don't be a jerk." He winked and they both broke into giggles.

Chris exited first as Justin passed by him to get into the bathroom. He moved to approach Nick who stepped away quickly. "Not until you shower, fuck you stink." Kevin entered the bathroom next, approaching Nick as well. Again, Nick rejected the advances. "You too. Take a shower and maybe I'll think about it." He smiled and blew them kisses as he closed the door behind him.

It was while Nick was getting dressed into a pair of jogging pants and a tee shirt that he allowed himself to think about sleeping arrangements. He wanted to spend the night with Justin and Kevin, missing the younger man considerably, but at the same time he wanted to spend the night with Chris too. It wasn't just because he felt bad having Chris sleep alone while the three of them slept together in his and Kevin's bed, but because he genuinely wanted to sleep with Chris, curl up with the older man and just be with him. It had felt like forever since he'd talked to the older man and spent any quality time with him as most of his free time in the past while had been dedicated to the ongoing drama surrounding himself, Kevin and Justin. Nick was at a loss of what to do, and he knew that having all four of them sleeping in one bed was out of the question.

"You look deep in thought," Chris' voice interrupted his thoughts. Nick smiled as he turned to face the other man.

"Yeah, a little."

"Don't worry about it babe. You want to be with them, I'm a big boy. I can handle the bed alone."

Nick felt the butterflies in his stomach and shook his head. "It's not just that. I just..." He stopped talking when Chris put a finger over Nick's lips to quiet him.

"Don't worry about it. It's your vacation. He was originally supposed to be here. I'm just a cover." Chris leaned up to press their mouths together in a sweet kiss. The kiss almost caused Nick to forget what he was supposed to not be worrying about. Just as he was going to pull Chris down on top of him, he pulled away. "I'll see you in the morning."

With that, Nick was once again alone. He should have been happy that Chris had given him an out, but surprisingly he was more confused. Nick heard the door open and turned to see Justin step into the room. "What's taking you so long? We're done..."

His lips curled into a smile that trembled just slightly. There was a chill in the room and Nick sighed with exhaustion. "Just thinking, I'll be in in a few minutes." With his eyes closed, Nick missed the way Justin shook his head.

"Nah, you won't." That caused for Nick to open his eyes. He was surprised to see the soft smile on Justin's face. "It's okay..."

"I just don't know what the fuck I'm doing anymore."

"Did we ever? Really?"

Nick had to agree, Justin was right. He allowed himself to be pulled down into a laying position, their legs still dangling off the end of the bed, side by side on their backs. "But it feels.. fuck, like I don't know. I mean, I should know what's going on, but I have no clue. I don't know what I want, what anyone else wants and it's pissing me off."

Justin laughed which in turn caused Nick to laugh as well. "That's life baby, you just have to roll with the punches. Take things as it comes and always remember that you have to do what's best for you. No matter what the cost."

Their eyes met and Nick saw nothing but love in his lover's eyes. He trembled at the intensity in Justin's gaze.

"And don't be afraid of change, because I'm always going to love you. Even if we're not together like this, it doesn't mean I don't want you in my life."

Somewhere deep inside of his heart Nick knew that. He knew that if he'd call their relationship quits, the sexual part of it anyways, Justin would still be a part of his life. It would be the same if it were Justin who ended it, Nick would never hold it against him to the point that they'd never speak again. Their relationship went deeper than sex.

"I know, but then I think about never being with you again, about a time where I can't kiss you or touch you and it just makes.. it makes me crazy. I don't know if I'd be able to do it. I don't want to do it."

"Good, because you don't have to."

Nick felt his eyelids drooping and his body becoming heavy with sleep. He should have definitely gotten up and gone to bed, but with Justin beside him, their fingers locked between them and the warmth that the younger man was radiating, he couldn't force himself to move.

Justin yawned, curling up against Nick's body. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew that Kevin was going to wonder what was taking him so long, but actually getting up to go back into the bedroom seemed like too much effort for him. His last thought before drifting into a deep sleep was that Kevin would come looking for him eventually.

Half an hour had passed and Kevin looked up from the book he was reading. He'd expected Nick and Justin to return so they could crawl into bed, and if not both of them, at least one of them. But he'd been waiting and was still alone. He crawled out of the bed and headed down the hall. Light was coming out from under the door that Chris was staying in and Kevin knocked, figuring that since he couldn't hear anything going on inside, he wouldn't be interrupting. Chris opened the door, glasses perched on his nose and a smile appeared on his face. "Richardson, hey."

"Hey. I just came to say good night. To you and whichever one is in here with you." Kevin smiled genuinely.

Chris only nodded as he flashed Kevin a strange look. "Who would be in here with me Richardson? The only other two people in this house are in your bed right now."

It was Kevin's turn to give Chris a strange look. "Uhh, no. I'm sleeping alone it seems. I thought they were here with you?"

Chris shook his head. "Nope, said goodnight to Nicky while you guys were in the shower and haven't seen Justin since he passed me to get into the bathroom."

Now Kevin was confused. If they weren't with Chris, then he didn't know where they could be. He headed down the hall with Chris close behind. They went into the third bedroom that Nick had used to change earlier and opened the door, stopping instantly at the sight of Nick and Justin on the bed. They were in what looked like a very uncomfortable position, curled up against each other on top of the sheets. Chris muffled a giggle behind him while Kevin snorted softly.

"Figures," Kevin whispered as he approached the bed. "You take Justin, I'll get Nick and we'll pull them up so they're at least on the bed."

Chris nodded, thankful that both men were deep sleepers. Five minutes later they had Nick and Justin under the covers, still sleeping soundly. Almost immediately, Justin pulled Nick closer as he spooned up behind him.

Kevin looked down on the sleeping men in the bed, wanting nothing more than to join them. Going to his own lonely bed didn't seem as appealing, but wasn't sure what it would look like to Chris. For some reason he felt awkward around the younger man, something he wasn't used to. He was surprised when Chris sat down on Nick's side and took his glasses off.

"Get the lights before you crawl in." Chris whispered.

Kevin simply stood there staring at him. "Huh?"

"Come on Kevin, the bed's big enough for all four of us, and we're both wanting to sleep in here with them. So just hit the lights, get your ass back over here and get into bed." Chris smiled warmly, pleased when Kevin followed his instructions.

Kevin smiled in the darkness at the way Justin leaned back into his body subconsciously as he slid into bed behind him, not to mention how Nick's hand sought out Kevin's which had settled on his hip and entwined their fingers together. It had been a while since everything had felt this right, this calm and settled and Kevin vowed to enjoy it. Enjoy and embrace the magical beauty that the week had possessed, because only God would know what they'd be returning back to in two days time.
