*This was going to be put of on Christmas, but I made a lot of mistakes in it so I had to reread it. Anyway, I hope it's not overly bad in the grammer error department. Anyway, I think I can squeeze another chapter out. I see maybe two other long chapters coming out and then the story will be done. This one's pretty long for you guys. I love you all! Happy Holidays, since New Year's is around the corner.*

Chapter 26- What a Night!

A million and one questions popped into Jade's head, but she knew she would never get them answered. There she was on the couch with Zach on top of her who was very much…aroused. This is why he didn't want to share the same bed as her?

"Now do you understand?" Zach asked against the crook of Jade's neck.

Jade let out a groan. "I…" she whispered. She felt his hands trail under her shirt and gently rub the side of her stomach.

"I'm dangerous around you when we're like this. I haven't been in a relationship where sex wasn't always an object. This is the first relationship where I am being very serious with someone, Jade," Zach began. "The reason I stopped coming into your room and sleeping with you was because my body started to react to you at night. At first, it happened every time you would roll over or squeeze me as you slept, but then it happened when you weren't even touching me. I could feel your warmth through everything and it really excited me. I'm a man after all and I do have needs, but I didn't want to take advantage of you. I love you too much to even go there with you and I want to take it slow…"

Jade's eyes fell to the side of his head and a smile crept on her lips. "Why are you so self-centered?" When Zach propped himself up, with his arms, Jade's smile widened. "Why do you think everything's about you? Do you think that you're the only one with those kinds of feelings or desires?"

Zach moved from atop the girl and sat on the opposite side of the couch, while giving her a bewildered stare. He folded his hands in his lap, while allowing one of his feet touch the floor. Jade sat up and folded her legs underneath her body, but the smile still stayed on her face.

"What are you talking about you silly girl?" Zach asked.

"Sometimes I feel it too when your around me. I feel it every time you kiss me or hold me in anyway, but that's what I need from you."

Zach raised his eyebrows. "You need me to make love to you?"

"No you asshole," Jade giggled. "I need you to be with me. I just want you to know that I truly understand the circumstance that you are under, but you've gotta realize that it's not just about you."

"I just don't want us to lose control and…"

Jade crawled over to the opposite side of the couch bumped her head on Zach's chin. "I say you throw that away."

"Throw what away?" Zach asked against Jade's black hair.

"Throw away that speech about wanting to take my virginity at a perfect time…"

"But…" Zach interrupted.

Jade removed her head from under his chin. "We both know that it's all bullshit. Whatever happens between us in the sexual way just happens. We don't have the ability to control that no matter how much you want it to seem." Jade sat on her calf's and smiled at Zach.

"I…just…us…" Zach sighed and stroked Jade's hands. "It's just that I don't want to hurt you or lose you in general."

Jade giggled. "You won't have to worry about that Zach. As long as you share the same bed as me tonight," Jade said mischievously. Zach's mouth opened and then it closed quickly. Jade made a slight pout with her bottom lip, but Zach turned his head to avert her look.

"Jade I don't know..."

"Please?" Jade begged and bounced a bit on the couch like a whiny kid. When Zach looked at her she held his gaze leaving him no where else to look, but into her eyes. His mouth opened, yet nothing seemed to come out in time because Olivia came out from her room. Jade's mouth fell open when she noticed that Olivia was wearing a yellow, frilly, and very exposed nightie. She definitely wasn't a shy one at all.

"How's everything going?" Olivia asked brightly. She treaded across the floor and made it to the couch only to look at the two sitting on it.

"You're such a slut Liv," Jade said when Olivia crossed her arms and laid her head on them.

"I know that. So, have you two figured out who's sleeping where?"

"Well we were just discussing that," Zach answered and looked at Jade.

Olivia looked at Jade also. "What did you decided then?"

Jade exchanged glances between Zach and Olivia. "We decided…"

"To share the bedroom," Zach said coming to her rescue. "I won't allow her to sleep out here because it's not comfortable enough for her."

"Why can't you sleep out here then Zach?" Olivia asked.

"He can't sleep out here because he has a bad back," Jade told Olivia.

Olivia frowned. "I don't want you guys to kill each other. Are you sure that it's ok?"

"Yes," chorused Zach and Jade.

"Fine, but you two better be good," Olivia whined and then stretched. Jade looked away when she did so, but she took a quick glimpse at Zach before she did. She was more than surprised when she found out that he too decided to look away. "Well goodnight you two, see you tomorrow morning. It's Christmas Eve tomorrow you know."

"Ok," Jade said.

Olivia began to make her way across the floor on her bare feet, but stopped to turn around. "Before I forget if you guys wake up before Josh and I go ahead and put on your warmest clothes and then wake us up. But, if we're up before you guys we'll do the parallel. Oh and if your both good tonight, you'll be able to get your presents tomorrow." With that said Olivia then retreated back to her bedroom.

"She's sure enough fun to be around," Zach joked as Olivia's door shut. "Never a dull moment I suppose."

Jade had to laugh at the comment too. "That's just the way she is. Besides I saw that you didn't look at her."

"Well she isn't my type," Zach commented.

Jade got off of the couch and yawned. "Maybe, but many guys who are normal would have looked."

"Really?" Zach asked sarcastically. He mimicked Jade by getting off of the couch and yawned too.

"Of course," Jade reassured him while bending over and picking up her bags. She dragged her bags around the couch and opened the door to the bedroom. Once the door was propped open she looked around at the room. She walked inside and sat her bags on the bed that was settled in the middle of the room to the right of the door. It wasn't all that fancy, basically the room was simple. There was a painting or two hanging around with a flat screen TV propped on the wall across from the bed. She noticed the door that was on the other side of the bed and took it as the bathroom, but she found the window more intriguing. Sure, it was small, but the moon light shown proudly through and spread through the room.

"I like the room," Zach said as he entered the bedroom. He pulled his luggage to the other side of the bed and sat it down on the floor while inspecting the room. Jade watched him intently as he looked around and went to close the bedroom door.

"Maybe you should keep the bedroom door open," Zach told Jade. She turned around and gave him an innocent stare, but she didn't pay attention to any of his words by shutting the door close anyway. She heard a direct sigh from Zach, but she said nothing. Instead she unzipped one of her bags to find sleeping attire. That's when reality set in, every nook and cranny that she came across didn't hold any of her sleeping things. She slumped on the bed and ran her hands up and down on her face.

"I am so stupid," Jade whispered in her hands.

Zach looked at her strangely as he carried his luggage toward the TV. "What's wrong?"

"In all the commotion with trying to hurry up and make sure I didn't miss the plane my packing skills left me behind."

"What's that mean?"

"I packed everything else that I need on this trip except for something to sleep in."

"That's not such a big inconvenience," Zach said. After placing his things down under the TV he made his way to Jade's side.

Jade looked at him curiously. "If you think I'm going to sleep naked then you better rethink."

"That's a very good idea. Why didn't I think about that?" Zach joked. When he noticed that Jade wasn't laughing he pulled at the rim of his shirt to lift it over his head.

Jade gasped when he handed the material to her. "What are you doing?"

"You can take my shirt. It's pretty ok in here so I just think out of modesty that you could wear the shirt. Your use to it," Zach laughed.

"Thank you," Jade answered and took the shirt from his hand. Once Zach started to leave to make it to his side Jade stood up and pulled her shirt off. Zach was right about the temperature in the room because the air felt great on her body, but it wasn't freezing. Hell, it was better than being outside in the stifling cold. Her pants soon followed after she folded her shirt and place them in one of her bags. Deciding that is was best for her to put her things where Zach had placed his; Jade zipped up the bags and dumped them under the TV too. When she turned around to retreat back to the bed she noticed Zach, in his boxers, staring at her as he sat with one leg over the other, and with his arms crossed. Impulsively she became shy at her appearance and quickly threw on Zach's shirt. It fit her ok considering it was way too big for her. It barely made it to her knees, but she liked the neckline that slid down her right shoulder.

"I thought you didn't wear a bra when you went to sleep?" Zach asked while throwing the comforter back so they both could nestle themselves under the bed sheets.

Jade smiled and slipped underneath the sheets. "I don't, but only if it isn't so cold like it is here." She made herself comfortable by laying on her side so that she would now be facing Zach who had an impish grin on his face. "What?"

"Nothing, just go to sleep," Zach murmured and closed his eyes. "Goodnight."

Jade shook her head and closed her eyes too. "Goodnight." With one deeper sigh her breathing faulted and she could feel herself going into dream land, but something was off. She felt like someone was watching her. To feel that her suspicion was correct she opened one eye to catch Zach's staring back at her.

Jade smiled. "I can't sleep while you're watching me."

"Then I don't think you'll be able to sleep for a while," Zach alleged. This made Jade open both her eyes in surprise with his boldness.

"Not tired then?"

"I had enough sleep in the limo. It was the best two hour nap that I ever had," Zach smiled showing his white teeth.

Jade smiled to at the comment too. "Yea I would have to say that I do agree. I'm not one on naps, but I would have to agree."

"You should try taking on more naps," Zach said.

Jade giggled. "I don't think so."

"It does the body wonders," Zach chuckled and moved in closer to her.

Jade noticed the movement and her eyes fell over his facial expression. "Mmm...you don't say?" she barely whispered.

"Want to know what else does wonders for the body?"

Jade parted her lips as her eyes fell to his. "What's that?"

"You," Zach answered ever so casually. He moved his hand from underneath the sheets and stroked her cheek.

Jade moved even more closely to him. "We're suppose to be good for Liv's sake Zach," Jade warned him when she felt his hand leave her cheek to smooth over her exposed shoulder.

Zach smiled. "Do you ever listen to what she says?"

"No," Jade said softly. She didn't wait for him to make a move, which was totally un-her, but she wanted to feel his lips. To be perfectly honest he always seemed to take the long route to being intimate at all. It wasn't fiery and passionate, but more soft and gently. When the kiss was over Zach and Jade kind of stared at each other as if they hadn't seen one another in a long time. Jade couldn't help but laugh when she saw a lazy smile form on Zach's lips.

"What are you laughing at?" Zach asked when the girl didn't stop laughing.

"The…look…on…you're…face," Jade continued to laugh. "Priceless!"

Zach smiled arrogantly as his hands crept to her sides. "I'll give you something to laugh about." His hands worked quickly on the sides of her stomach and Jade let out a squeal. She retaliated with her own set of tickles. But, because he was reluctant to even let her begin to win he shifted their positions. Jade willingly fought with him on the bed as she found him trying to be dominant, but she was too shook up with laughter to really care. Her laughing ceased when he had her pinned with his body weight on top of her. He also held her hands above her head with his own, so he could hover above her.

"I give up you win," Jade giggled before closing her mouth. She squirmed underneath him, but he didn't move. "I said you win."

Zach smiled. "That was never my intention to win. But, I'm not saying that I don't like it that I did."

"Then what was?"

"Well…" Zach said placing his forehead on top of her's while staring into her green pool eyes. "I just wanted to touch your body."

Jade smirked at his reply. "You could do that anytime you want," she answered sincerely.

They both sat in silence for a minute both a bit stunned at Jade's comment.

"Promise to never leave me Jade," Zach suddenly said, his face falling to a concerned expression. "I don't think I could take you not being in my life."

Jade's hand sweetly rubbed the sides of his face trying to soothe whatever was bothering him. "I promise to never leave you. I love you too much asshole."

"I love you too," Zach replied. He lowered his lips brushing it against hers. Just trying to be as delicate as possible Zach took Jade's bottom lip with his teeth and suckled on it. His hands went slack that were around Jade's wrist when her leg accidentally rubbed his inner thigh. He let go of her bottom lip and stared down at her. Her cheeks were a light pink color and her lips were parted and swollen a bit. She was truly stunning in her own form and by looking flustered it made her look even sexier.

"Zach," Jade called to him softly when all he did was stare at her for a minute.

Zach blinked and smirked when he saw the desire in her eyes. "Say it."

Jade blushed. "Say what?" That's when his hands let her wrist go and nudged her knees to pull apart. As soon as they were apart he let himself settle between them.

Zach smiled and nipped at her collar. "I see it in your eyes just tell me what you want."

"I don't know what…" Jade faltered. Her eyes fluttered when Zach tugged at the bottom of her shirt and tortuously began pulling it up her body.

He stayed busily at making a permanent hickey on her collar, but said nothing.

"Are you going to say it?" Zach asked when he finished feasting on her skin. When she made no movement whatsoever he pulled her shirt up to expose her breast that were caged in the light tan fabric. He looked under the sheets to find that she was wearing a matching lingerie outfit. "Nice, but it would look better off."

Jade bit her bottom lip and then licked her top one. "Take it off then." When the words came out of her mouth she hardly believed that it was her own voice. It didn't matter to her that she sounded like a little sex-kitten, but she felt like being frisky. Or perhaps even a bit more then that. Zach seemed to hesitate after her remark, yet her hands worked diligently to unhook her own bra. Which wasn't hard since it was had a front hook. It defiantly embarrassed the hell out of her, but that changed when she saw the look on Zach's face.

"Are you going to say it?" Zach growled out.

"I don't know what you want me to say," Jade spoke. Her breath caught in her throat when he attacked her breast. His tongue worked skillfully and left her wanting more each and every moment. After he finished paying attention to one he quickly returned to paying attention to the other. Her closed eyes popped open when he drew back his mouth and played with her lips.

"I…" Jade sighed out.

Zach lowered his mouth closely to her ear. "Say…it," he growled dangerously and took her ear into his mouth.

Silence still ensued Jade.

Zach chuckled. "I'll say it for you then. I want you."

"I thought you wanted to wait for the perfect time," Jade giggled. Instead of getting a reply he took her hand in his and placed it on his body. Her eyes grew wide when she felt the heat from his torso on her fingertips. He muscles flexed on his chest, as he trialed her hands down toward the rim of his boxers. He let her hand go, but she kept it on the rim of the boxers.

"I want you to touch me and answer your own question," Zach said huskily.

Jade bit the side of her lip and she began to pant unknowingly. For a moment she wanted to place her hand back to her sides, but her curiosity took over. Taking time to "damn her conscience to hell" she took her middle finger and pulled at the rim. She heard him hiss when she grazed her nails lightly on his abdomen. Slowly her left hand stopped its grazing and slowly made its way under the cotton fabric. She began to rethink what she was about to do when her fingers began to wonder across the feeling of little hairs.

"It won't bite," Zach laughed when he felt her stop abruptly. "But, it definitely likes to spit up like a bitch," he chuckled.

That was all the encouragement that she needed to keep going and she did. Closing her eyes in retrospect for trying not to chicken out she let her fingers reach out and grab his now hard member. Her eyes opened, but she didn't move her hand that now gently held him. Her cheeks had to have been a bright red and she pulled both her hands back, letting both of them fall back to her sides.

Zach panted and fell on top of her. "That felt great, but what happened?"

"Your…" Jade managed to say. "Very much endowed!"

"Well…is that suppose to be a compliment?" Zach laughed, but stopped when he noticed how frightened Jade looked. "What?"

"That can't fit inside me," Jade said bluntly.

Zach covered his mouth from laughing at her. "Yes it will…"

"Not in me it won't," Jade argued. "Get off of me." Jade shifted underneath him, but he didn't move.

"I'm scared too," Zach cooed. That seemed to stop her from moving about long enough for him to give her a searing kiss. After he stared at her directly in the eye her mood changed.

"I love you," Jade said.

"I love you too," Zach responded.

"So, if you love me so much don't hurt me too much."

Zach smirked. "What are you saying?"

"Make love to me Zach," Jade said with all her heart. Everything exploded inside her body once she gave him a sweet and sloppy kiss. When she felt his fingers work on her panties she stopped him. "I'll get that," she smiled and began to tug at the brown lingerie…until the door opened. The two flushed people quickly retreated from their positions and concealed below the sheets.

"Psst…anybody up?" Olivia's voice rang through the room. Jade squeezed her eyes closed tightly when she quickly tried to hook her bra back on and pull the shirt over.

"What do you want?" Zach groaned out and sat up.

Jade let out a deep sigh of relief when she heard Olivia move to the other side of the bed.

"Umm…you're just the person I wanted to see. Josh and I we need to know do you have any…"

Jade felt Zach's presence disappear off of the bed. With a few more whispers and the sound of a bag unzipping the door was soon closed.

"Damn," Zach groaned and he soon joined Jade back in bed.

"What did Olivia want?" Jade asked as she turned over to look at Zach.

"Nothing, but I think what was going to happen here tonight can't happen."

Jade felt a bit relieved, but she felt morally disappointed. "It's ok."

"I'm sorry," Zach whispered and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Don't worry about it. I still love you."

"I love you too."

Jade gave Zach one more kiss and closed her eyes. She found out that sleep quickly overtook her, but not before she heard Zach make his way into the bathroom.
