Part One
"That's NOT possible!!!!!" "YES IT IS!!!!!! I SEEN IT DONE!!"

Taran shook her head in defiance and slight irritation. "It is not, Nick!!! There is NO WAY that can happen!!.....And where on earth did YOU see it?!??!"

Nick grinned and looked out the diner window to avoid her face. He wasn't gettin' out of it....busted.

Sighing loudly, "I saw it in a porno a long time ago......and IT IS possible!!!" He added, whining.

Taran laughed at his admission of porno watching and began to wonder if he was telling the truth.

"Well damn........" She shifted nervously in her seat, ".......just the thought of it HURTS."

She wasn't quite telling him the truth. In her head, she had thought about the possibility, dismissing it as improbable, but definitely giving her something to wonder about.

"I wanna see that porno of yours....I don't believe you." She winked at him, grinning.

Nick just gave her a side smile, ran a nervous hand through his blonde tresses and grabbed the check off the table. "Ya ready to go home?"

They left the small diner and headed back home, conversation forgotten for the time being.

Nick's house sat on the edge of land, surrounded by water. Long, lazy days spent on his boat, beautiful sunsets everynight from the patio. Yeah, this was how to live. Taran knew he worked hard for it, and yeah, she felt a tad guilty for sharing his wealth. As great as it was, trying to keep him for herself is always a trying situation. She loved him, she trusted him. But when a man his age is offered any girl he wants, women literally lining up and spreading their legs for him, it is a bit overwhelming trying to outdo all of them.

Staying at the top of the heap.

That's the way she thought about it. Nick, however, seemed content with just her. They had a good life, she would never take it for granted, but in reality, she now understands why celebrities have very extravagant houses.

They never get to leave them. A virtual fortress for one person, holding back the world of screaming, pre~pubecent girls and horny, lustful women with only one thing on their minds. It became her fortress, too.

And in this world, they had they're share of fun together. Nick is, as most know, a big kid. Taran fit in his world real well. Video games, water fights, a lot of laughing, joking and teasing.

And then there came the sex.

She was adventurous by nature, and much to Nick's glee, willing to try new things. From the very first night together, they both knew they had somethin' good goin. When your laughing your ass off and trying to have an orgasm at the same time, it makes for some really memorable moments. Two years later, they were still goin' strong. And still trying to get that serious climax.

Taran followed Nick to the front door, grabbing a handful of his ass in an affectionate squeeze on the way up the few steps. Nick squealed and swatted her hand away.

"DO NOT touch the BOOHTY!!!!!" He laughed, pulling her hair for emphasis and dragging her through the door.

"OWWW!!!! LET GO you overgrown caveman......."

"CAVEMAN?!?!" He rolled his eyes at her and shoved her away, teasing.

"Well caveman it is........UPSTAIRS........NOW." He said as seriously as he could.

Taran stared at him for a second and was about to bolt. Way ahead of her thoughts, Nick caught her and grabbed a handful of her long brown hair again and lead her to the steps.

"Your Caveman is ready to mark his territory."

Taran let him pull her up the steps and down the hall to the bedroom, smirking all the way.

Nick playfully threw her on the bed and jumped on himself, bouncing her halfway off. He grabbed her around the waist, and smiled down on her widely. Both of them out of breath, they settled down a bit.

"It's kinda early to be hittin' the mattress, dontcha think?" Taran teased while pushing a stray strand of hair out of his eyes.

Nick didn't even bother with a response. He licked her neck all the way up to her chin, leaving a trail of warm wetness all the way. Finding a spot below her ear, he nibbled and sucked away. Taran sighed then realized his intent. Grabbing his short blonde locks, she pulled him by the back of the head away from her neck.

"OW!!!!!!"

"I know what you're doin' and if I find the slightest mark on my neck later, your ass is in MAJOR trouble!!!!!" She half laughed, half meant it.

"Okay, Okay!!!!!!!..........Geez. I thought I was the controller here!!!" He exclaimed, sorry he lost his placement in the "relationship."

"Be nice Nicky........"

And with a wicked grin, he acknowledged her statement.

"Stay here......." He struggled to his feet and made his way to the side nightstand by the bed, unbuttoning his jersey as he went.

Taran watched him, upside down, wondering what he's up to now. He rid himself of his jersey, letting it slide to the floor in a heap.

Before opening the drawer, he glanced at her quickly. "Shut your eyes."

"Nick, I know everything that's in that drawer, and if it's what I think your getting, I'm using it on you!!!!!!!"

He frowned, unbuttoning his pants. "Just shut your eyes."

Taran rolled them before complying. Nick grabbed her favorite "Nick's away" toy, and hopped back on the bed beside her. Sliding the flesh colored vibrator under a pillow, he resumed his attachment on her neck, moving to her lips in a searing kiss, hoping she'll "forget" that it's there. Taran let him play his game. Somethin new. Could be fun.

Nick let his hand trail down to the tied string of her pants and pulled it slowly undone. Heading back up, he took a button at a time from her top, expertly undoing with one hand. Taran moaned and smiled into his lips, giggling at the ticklish feeling. He pushed one side of her top away, revealing a pert nipple. Licking his lips and staring for a second, Nick bent his head to her, licking lightly around the center, teasing. Replacing his lips with fingers, he gently rubbed over her breast, rolling her hardened peak through them. Taran groaned her pleasure, rubbing the soft skin of his back, urging him on.

He kissed down her stomach, fingers massaging her sides til his knees reached the end of the side of the bed. Dropping down to the floor, he peeled her pants down her tan legs taking her panties with them. Taran sat up, reaching for him to stand. She slid her top off and watched him rise to his feet. Grabbing his waistband, she yanked him roughly to her. Nick smiled down on her, waiting for a clue. "Take this off." She demanded, tugging at his tank. Nick obliged while Taran wrapped her arms around his waist feeling for the band in the back. Her fingers dipped beneath the fabric, squeezing his butt cheeks once again before sliding his pants down.

Nick shook his head at her in defeat. He just couldn't keep her hands off his ass. She winked at him and grabbed him by the arms, inviting him to lay with her again.

Taran scooted up the bed to the pillows and lay back against them. Nick followed suit, closing the gap between them. The heat of his body so close made her shiver in anticipation. He wrapped his arms around her finding her lips with his once again.

Taran's head became quite uncomfortable lying on her own toy. Reaching up, she yanked it away and held it before them.

Nick smiled, burying his face in her neck.

"And what, persay, were you going to do with this Nick?" She grinned, loving putting him on the spot all the time, not to mention the cute way his face turned hot pink when she embarrassed him.

She knew he wouldn't have a comeback, so she went with it.

"I think........." She ran the cool rubber plastic down his arm, "........that I should try this on YOU........See how YOU like it....."

Nick, wide eyed now, raised his head from hers in scared excitement. His face scrunched up in, what looked to be quite a whining fit coming on.

"YOU'VE NEVER EVEN DONE THAT!!!!!!! NO WAY!! UH HUH!!!!!!!" He shook his head for effectiveness.

Taran frowned at his outburst. "Nick!!!! You always make me do weird things, lemme do it!!!!"

What started as her teasing him with it, now turned into her actually wanting to do it, JUST BECAUSE he wouldn't let her.

His face softened a bit, as he bit his lip in thought. Decision made, he backed away. "NO!!!!!!!!!"

"NICK!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!!!" She was laughing now, begging. This would definitely be humorous to her.

Trying a different approach, her voice quieted, her face tried to take on a serious look. "Come on Nicky........I promise I won't hurt you. We'll lube it up real good........and if you want me to stop, I will......no pressure. I swear!" She raised her hand in some sort of oath. "And I promise I'll NEVER tell anyone.....EVER." A small smirk started creeping across her face. He wasn't saying anything, so she knew he was thinking about it.

Actually, he was thinking of something else.

He opened his mouth to speak, a smirk of his own gracing his lips. She felt blackmail coming on.

"Alright.......I'll let you, under those circumstances........IF........."

"Here it comes,' she thought.

"..........You do the porno thing with me."

Her mouth dropped open, her eyes got big as she stared at him in amazement. "You gotta be kiddin' me?!?!?!?!"

He got her. There ain't no way she'll agree to it. Smiling in his championship, he shook his head at her. "Nope. You wanna do that to me, I get to do that to you."

"First of all Nick....." Uh~ho.......she was using the bitching tone. He winced at his impending scolding. ".........YOU cannot do that by YOURSELF......"

He raised his eyes to her with a quick solution. "AARON!!!!! He's always gawkin' at you, and you like flirtin with him.....AND.....We won't have to worry about him spillin' the truth!!!!" Nick laughed at his proposal.

Taran, at first, taken aback by his idea, smiled to herself a second later. Aaron had just turned 19, and had really filled out in the past year. He WAS a hottie. Still reasoning, She did notice him noticing HER whenever he came to visit.

The idea had passed through her mind before.......why not?

"OKAY."

Nick's face fell in disbelief. "What?"

"Okay.........I'll do it. Rules though......" She sat up, vibrator still in hand. Pointing it at him for effectiveness, "......when and IF this occurs, it's a one time only thing. It will also be made very clear to Aaron. I don't want him hangin' around here thinkin' you're gonna share me whenever he likes........" Nick just stared at her, mouth hanging open. ".......I'll agree to do it, mostly because I still don't believe that act is possible......but..I trust Aaron, too." Nick was about to defend the act as possible again, but thought better to keep his big mouth shut now. ".........And don't think that because another man might came in our bed, that you can bring another girl....I ain't playin that card big boy. I get you all to myself.........Agreed?"

Nick didn't know what to say. Somewhere, somehow, "Okay." Filtered past his lips.

Thinking to himself, he kicked himself for his wise~ass big mouth. Shrugging, he had to admit she was one wild chick. He smiled his half smile.

Taran smacked his face with the vibrator, bringing him back to reality. "Now get that Astroglide."

Nick stared back, wide eyed again. 'Whoops, forgot about that.' He thought, tryng to figure out a quick way out. Giving up, he reached for the drawer again.

Taran smiled inwardly at her victory. She gets to do this to him AND maybe get to do the little, hot brother. Being a girl rocks.

She figured he wouldn't go through with it anyway. She laughed to herself at the idea of Nick having to propose this to his own brother. He would never. He gets embarrassed telling HER things. No way will he ask Aaron. No way.

Nick uneasily handed over the Astroglide, frowning at the same time.

Taran figured she better get the boy some foreplay and relax him before giving it to him good. She chuckled to herself, realizing this must be what it felt like to be a guy.

"Com'ere Nicky....lemme make ya feel good........" She teased with a wicked grin. She shoved him back on the bed and straddled his waist. He relaxed a little and settled back into the pillows. Taran lightly ran her nails down his chest, tweaking his nipples until his face scrunched up in pain. Sometimes loving her hurt. He'll live. Laughing at his pain, she bent her head and kissed each one, licking the sting away. Nick took the vibrator she had tossed beside him and turned it on. It hummed lowly to life. His fingers reached up to her breast, teasing the sides and finally thumbing one into hardness. Taran dug her nails into his stomach, closing her eyes for a moment. Bringing the vibrator over her nipple, he dragged it down her stomach to tease her core. Sucking in his own stomach, it left just enough room to slip the tip between them. Letting the vibrations do their work, he wiggled it around slightly, watching her face contort in pleasure. "Lie back baby..." He whispered softly. Without even opening her eyes, Taran slid off him and took his spot, nestling into the pillows. Nick lay beside her, propped up on an elbow to watch. He spread her thighs farther apart and teased her clit with the head of the vibrator. Taran moaned in approval at the sudden sensation, rubbing his back slowly. He dipped his head to the closest nipple and teased it with his bottom lip. "Please Nick........." He raised his face to hers in amusement. "Please what?" Opening her eyes, Taran shot him a warning look. He knew she was kidding, and rubbed his nose affectionately with hers. "Alright........you're no fun........" He smiled, kissing her lips. And with one quick motion, Nick slid the plastic shaft deep inside her. "OH GOD NICK........." She exclaimed. "That's me." He acknowledged, smiling at her enjoyment.

He pumped the psudo~Nick in and out in deep, long thrusts watching his movements all the while. Although he had to admit, he sometimes got a bit jealous at the size of her "Nick's not home" toy. But right now, he definitely was enjoying the view. When he's away, they do the phone sex thing, but now he had a real good visual to go with it.

He pumped it into her in short, hard thrusts causing Taran to pant hard. "Damn you Nick......." She cursed him, grinning at his switch around. SHE was supposed to be doing this to him. He smiled back, kissing her neck and nibbling her ear. His spiky hair tickled her face, the vibrations inside her making her dizzy.

Nick felt her hips rise up slightly and begin to meet his hand, her toes started curling in her 'almost there' way. His warm tongue found her breast again, sucking tightly, licking lightly, bringing her to the edge. Somewhere, her mind wandered and she chuckled to herself. Here Nick was, home and fully capable of giving her the real thing, and she was still using "psudo~Nick." It was good to give her wrist a break though, she laughed, almost outloud.

"Ohhhhhh Yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh Niiiiicccckkkkyyyyyy......." She came hard, slamming her eyes shut, riding out the waves. Nick roughly slid her dildo all the way to the hilt, pressing her spot. "UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

Breathing hard, she opened her eyes to meet his. He slowly slid the vibrator out of her, and tossed it to the side. Enveloping her in his arms, he quickly found her lips and sweetly left little ones here and there.

"Satisfied?" He grinned at her, pretty proud of himself.

"Not til I get that in you, too." She wiggled her eyebrows at him in amusement. Nick frowned anyway.

"You have to do it too." He whined. Taran scrunched her face up. "WHY?!"

"Because you've never done it either and I think you should be prepared for when the time comes." He nodded his head for emphasis.

Taran thought about it for a moment, and for once, Nick made a valid point. She should probably get the feel of it before they let in another "possible" party.

"Okay....I'll go first....but then it's YOUR turn..."

Nick smiled in slight relief that he didn't hafta do this right this minute. He reached for the vibrator again, but was quickly swatted away.

He met her eyes in question. "I want YOU in me, not that......" She said seriously.

Nick gazed back at her for a very long moment, finally registering what she was saying. Taran broke the moment by reaching for the Astroglide again. "Here......" She handed it to him and sat up.

"No...wait....lay back down." Nick ordered.

Taran looked at him confused. "Don't I hafta turn around?"

Nick grinned again. "No, I wanna see your face and make sure you're okay." Taran apparently wasn't getting the concept, having never done this before, and gave him an even more confused look.

Nick rolled his eyes at her, "I saw it on a porno..." He admitted for the second time in 2 hours. "...trust me...."

Taran laughed outloud, knowing that this kind of info was gonna be real fun rubbing in his face later.

She waited for direction from him, but was surprised when he raised both her legs over his shoulders.

"OH." She finally realized.

Nick lubed his cock up and positioned himself better. Leaning into her til her knees were practically by her ears, Nick gazed at her for reassurance. "Ya ready?" He whispered, smirking.

Taran pulled his face close to hers and kissed his lips quickly. "Go for it, babe."

He pushed the tip of him against her resisting hole. Taran tried to relax and keep herself open for him. Spreading her knees farther apart, she hoped that would help. She always wanted to try this, just never did. This is definitely not how she pictured it.

Nick slowly eased his head passed her rim, watching her face closely for signs. Staring up at him, his blue eyes bright and inquisitive, his blonde bangs hanging over her like a small canopy, she smiled past the slight pain, happy she was sharing this with him first.

"Ya okay?"

Taran sighed lightly. "Yeah...I'm fine.....keep going."

Nick eased himself in painfully slow for him. He wanted nothing more than to ram his cock deep inside her. The sweat forming on his brow was from just plain frustration at holding it back. "Geez, you are tight..." He mumbled absently. Taran smiled despite the stinging pain. "Or....maybe.......it......could.....be........your.......own.......large.....size??????" She got out between pants of holding her breath.

Nick grinned down at her and kissed her lips slowly. He pressed himself into her fully. Completely imbedded in her, he stopped for reflection.

"Well........How's it feel?" Taran breathed heavy from the added addition to herself and tried to laugh. "Maybe if ya move a bit, I ain't gonna break."

Nick breathed a sigh of relief and slowly slid his way out. Feeling pretty confident, he picked a slow thrusting pace that worked for both of them. Taran rested her forehead against his and closed her eyes tightly. She didn't want Nick to get too comfortable and finish what he started. She had big plans for him and no room for his exhaustion.

"Nicky?....." "Hmmmmmmm........" "I think it's your turn now......." She felt his body stiffen slightly. "I'm not done..." Taran smiled at his stupid attempt. "I don't want you to be done........I'll help you later." She shoved at his damp chest to get out and off her. Nick sighed loudly, and pulled out of her roughly. They both grunted as they disengaged.

Nick fell face first to the mattress. "Ill be right back baby.....Don't you dare fall asleep..."

Taran left him there, and took their new toy with her for a good cleaning in the bathroom. She could barely walk right then, stretched to the max she figured. 'Damn, that hurt.' She commented to herself.

Returning to Nick, she eased back onto the bed next to him. Now that the time had approached, she had no idea how to get this going. She still couldn't believe he was actually agreeing to this at all.

She stroked his back slowly, feeling the warmth of his skin, kneading his muscles, trying to figure out how to handle the situation all the while.

"Hey Nicky?" "Hmmmmm........" He mumbled into his pillow. "So do we do this the way you did me or more....um...conventional ways?" She honestly couldn't believe she just asked another human being that.

She felt his back rise and a long sigh escape his lips before he turned himself over. "I guess it's up to you...." He stated, disinterested in the whole affair.

"Fine." She wasn't gonna let him guilt her out of it.

Nick caught her eye, "I can't believe I'm gonna let you do this to me. You got some weird obsession with my ass, ya know that?!"

Taran smiled widely at him. It really irritated him. "YES I DO. You have the FINEST boohty I have ever seen." Nick simply rolled his eyes.

She grinned at him before running her hand along his stretched out body. His long frame relaxed under her touch. Sliding to his side, she went for a good starting place. Nick closed his eyes as she took hold of his thick shaft and gently pumped his length. He sighed in relief. Taran licked the tip, prying her tongue forcefully on the tiny hole, before taking his thick head deep into her warm mouth. Nick raised his hips a little, needing all of him in her. She sat up on her knees, her hand replaced around his throbbing member. Pumping with one hand, she gingerly slinked her arm under his thigh and forced him to bend his knee up. Nick allowed her to maneuver him with very little resistance. He kinda wondered what it would be like, and knowing he'll NEVER let another man do that to him, this was the only way to find out. He trusted Taran. Besides, he'd already done terribly kinky things to her in the past, enough to hang it over her head.

Taran's full concentration was Nick's genitals. Her eyes wandered over his torso, her hand pumped him roughly. She bent back down, and spread his legs wider, licking a trail over his tight sac. Nick inhaled sharply and giggled at her tongue's tickling. He watched her work her magic on him, smiling at her when she caught his eye. Wiggling his eyebrows and grinning, making Taran smile with quite a mouthful. She could feel his balls tightening, his cock pulsating in her mouth. The time had come.

Letting his member pop free of her mouth, she slid the vibrator down the bed to her and reached for the Astroglide. Warming it in her hands, she coated it with lubrication and reached for Nick. He watched her lift his cock with one hand, her fingers tugging his nuts. With a lubricated couple of fingers, she lightly rimmed around his hole, feeling him tighten up slightly. She glanced to his face, seeing a hint of worry or anxiety about the whole deal. Leaning into him, Taran smiled warmly at him, melting his fears as she kissed his lips lightly, licking and sucking on his bottom lip til he sighed in comfort. Whispering near his ear, "Ya ready, baby?........." She nibbled down his chin to his neck, waiting for a go ahead.

Nick spread his legs farther apart and slid a pillow under his backside, lifting his ass for her access.

Taran leaned back and had to stop to appreciate her view. Shaking her head in disbelief and grinning widely, she ran her hand over his warm thigh heading inward.

Nick prepared himself by lifting his arms over his head, wrapping them tightly in the pillow under his head. With one last lift of his hips, he was as ready as could be. Taran lifted the leg closest to her and slid her body underneath. Nick gently rested his calf on her back, feeling very self conscience at Taran's eye contact with his very intimate parts. She stroked his member, trying to get his mind clear and free of stressful thoughts. Waiting til he closed his eyes and titled his head back into the softness of his pillow, Taran worked his cock with one hand and stroked the tip of the dildo just under his balls. She felt him tense up, then slowly relax.

"Are you gonna DO THIS, or keep me guessing all night?!?!"

Taran, startled at his rather loud exclamation, looked to his face wide eyed.

Nick giggled, either in frustration or humiliation. He didn't even know which. Her face softened and quickly took on her usual mischievous grin. "You asked for it........"

Nick watched as she held the toy tightly in her hand and positioned into place. Nick's smile wiped clean away. Taran tickled the base of his sac, before forcing the head of her dildo into his virgin hole. He inhaled sharply, his nostrils flaring. Telling himself to relax, he tried to maintain. Taran glanced at him for a second before continuing. Satisfied he was fine, she slid the lubed up cock slowly into his deepest recesses. Nick's eyes closed tightly, his face taking on a pained looked for a moment. Lifting his hips slightly, relieving some pressure, he sighed, urging her on. She tugged at his own member while shoving it in the rest of the way. "OH GOD......." He let out, a tad in pleasure, but most in discomfort.

"Ya okay, babe?" She whispered, worried maybe this wasn't so fun after all. He didn't respond for a few moments, then finally gave her the all clear with a wide grin. Taran shook her head in amusement. They both watched her pull it out slowly, then even slower, ease back in. Nick went back to his closed eyes. His arm came around from his pillow and rested on her bare back, stroking slowly, every so often, squeezing too hard in his discomfort when she pushed too far in. "How is it Nicky?......." She inquired with a hint of mischief in her voice.

Nick thought for what seemed like eternity to her. "Going in ain't bad........feels kinda good......" Taran smiled, glad he enjoyed. "........but pulling out feels like I'm takin' a gigantic sh......"

"Okay!!!! That's enough!!!!!!!" She yelled, laughing at him and yanking it out of his hole quickly, and sitting up beside him.

Nick opened his eyes in surprise. "Why'd ya stop???? I was kinda likin' it........."

"Oh you were, were you?" She replied, teasingly. Grabbing his knee, she yanked his leg back open and re~entered him without warning.

"OWWWWW!!!!!!!" Taran grabbed his cock tightly in her grip and pumped his roughly in time with her thrusts into him. Nick's eyes shut, rolling back. He felt so many things, his mind couldn't decipher. His whole groin was on fire, not a inch of him didn't "feel" something. Taran kept her eyes on her work, listening to his rapidly growing grunts and labored breathing for hints. She tightened her grip on his throbbing cock, thumbing the head lightly making his head dizzy. His hips started to raise with his impending need for a release. "Don't stop.......DON'T STOP........" His cock slid easily through her hand, his precum having long since been distributed. She figured she'd really blow his mind, and replaced her hand with her mouth. Sucking hard on his head, she forcefully shoved the vibrator deep into his ass, twisting her wrist and thrusted in short, hard strokes. "Oh My God........YEAH.....Don't stop............" He leg twitched from her aggressive actions. Scrunching his face, he let the weird waves of pleasure coarse through him. Never experiencing this kind before, he rode them out, moaning loudly. Taran swallowed his release, licking him clean. As he came down, she slowed her thrusts inside him til he opened his eyes. Yanking it out of him, he grunted loudly and settled back. Closing his legs, his slightly winced and relaxed into his pillow reaching for Taran. She tossed the vibrator to the floor and slid up to his side, nuzzling her face in his damp neck.

"Well that was something for the books, huh Nicky?"

He sighed loudly, and grinned. "It wasn't half bad.......Don't ever tell anyone that........but it wasn't bad......"

Taran thought for a quick moment and smiled widely, "Well maybe Aaron will find that humorous........"

Nick frowned, almost horrified she would even consider telling his brother.

"What are you saying Taran??!"

She FELT the anger brimming in his voice. "I'm just teasing ya, ya friggin' baby.....Although......I COULD threaten to tell him if you really INTEND to ask him to do our little deal.........." She left it hanging, waiting for a reply.

Nick pushed her away from him, clearly pissed. "YOU make me do THIS, now you're going to BACK OUT with BLACKMAIL?!?!?!" He yelled, eyes wide and firery.

Taran ran a hand down his chest, trying to calm him. "I was just teasing...I would never tell, Nick....never." She added for emphasis.

In her mind though, she honestly didn't think he would even ATTEMPT to go through with the "deal." Now she was having second thoughts. Perhaps he WAS intending to ask Aaron. Her stomach churned uneasily at the thought now. She just assumed he wasn't really serious.

Nick settled back down, anger still visible in his eyes. Taran stroked his stomach slowly, easing him back into a relaxed state.

After some long, silent minutes, Nick broke them with a statement of his own. "Aaron's coming over on Friday.......We're supposed to go fishing."

Taran couldn't think of something to say, so she said nothing. The key words there was "SUPPOSED TO". What did that mean? She weighed her options at the moment and figured now was not the time to get into it with him.

They fell into an uncomfortable silence, each in their own thoughts. Taran yanked the blanket over them and settled against him again. Eventually, he wrapped an arm around her and kissed her forehead before falling into a light sleep. Taran lay awake wondering if this was a bad move. She shoulda never assumed he wouldn't follow through. That's one thing she should have already known about Nick........never underestimate what goes on in his head. She's always surprised and never sees it coming.
