�We�re grown men,� Howard added. �Not teenage boys.�
�We probably ruined Sunshine and Nickolas,� Kevin stated.
�As well as our own marriages,� Alexander replied.
�We should�ve listened to Brian,� Kevin said. �He was always the sensible one.�
�But we had to take matters into our own hands,� Howard said.
�Josephine�s right,� Alexander admitted. �These past four months should�ve proved to us.�
�Really,� Kevin agreed.
�I say we got confess our wrong to Sunn and Nick,� Howard suggested. �I won�t be able to work with Nick with this secret between us. I got kids to raise and I have to set a good example.�
�Same here,� Alexander said.
�Yeah,� Kevin agreed. �And I have to start being honest with my wife.�
�What do ya mean?� Alexander asked.
�I have to tell her about Kristin, my first wife, and that I have a son with her,� Kevin confessed.
�You haven�t told her yet?� Howard questioned.
�No,� Kevin answered. �I don�t know how.�
�Do any of the girls know?� Alexander asked.
�Only Sunshine; she found the wedding album while helping me clean out the attic for that charity auction a few years back. She swore she wouldn�t say anything. It�s been, like, six years.�
�I can�t believe you,� Howard said. �You were lecturing me about keeping how I feel for Sunn from Jo and you can�t even tell V you have a son and an ex-wife.�
�I know it�s wrong to keep it from her.�
�If ya can�t tell her then leave the album out somewhere where she�ll find it,� Alexander suggested.
�I think it�ll be better if I tell her. It�ll be better coming from me.�
�True,� Howard agreed. �I should�ve took that advice myself with Jo, but instead I left her overhear me and Sunn.�
�Ya both are stupid,� Alexander replied. �There are no secrets between me and Des. I told her everything and vice versa. I only left out last night though, because I knew she�d act the way she did.�
�We were all stupid,� Kevin said. �Brian was the only sensible one. He even tried talking us out of it; because he knew it�d cause trouble�we didn�t listen though.�
�Because we�re idiots,� Alexander stated.
�Completely,� Howard added. �We knew better, but didn�t care.�
�It was a mere test,� Kevin replied. �Nothing wrong with that.�
�Unless ya almost break up a happy marriage,� Alexander pointed out. �Which we did last night.�
�We don�t know what happened exactly,� Howard said.
�It could�ve gone well,� Kevin stated as a phone rang and Alexander answered his cell. �We just have to think positive. Hopefully Nick could convince Sunn that it wasn�t his fault.�
�Maybe,� Howard agreed. �If she doesn�t believe him then I�m sure the girls filled her in. She�ll believe them.�
�Yeah.�
�I think we should go and apologize. I mean, it�s only right since we did cause problems between them. We all know Nickolas would never cheat on Sunshine and vice versa. The past, like, four months should�ve proved that.�
�You�re right. He loves her and would do anything for her. We we�re being immature.�
�Hey, guys,� Alexander said turning off his phone. �I have to go. Destiny wants me home so we can talk.�
�We�ll see ya later then,� Kevin said, as Alexander got up and walked away.
�Maybe we should go to the condo now and talk to them,� Howard suggested.
�Alex should come with.�
�I�m sure they�ll understand. He can stop by later. If we apologize then maybe Jo and V will let us back in the house.�
�Possibly. Then let�s go.� They both got up and left.

Sunshine sat alone on the balcony later that afternoon. She thought about the night before and what all Nickolas told her earlier that afternoon that Brian told him. She didn�t understand any of it and wasn�t sure if she wanted to either. It was just too sickening to her and didn�t care if it was never mentioned again. Not only did she almost sleep with Bradley, but her friends were trying to ruin her marriage. She completely hated them at that moment and didn�t want to look at them or anything.
She sighed and walked over to the banister. She looked out to the ocean a moment before very familiar arms went around her waist. She left him kiss her neck then turned around and kissed him; a slow passionate meaningful hungry kiss just like he liked them.
�Mmm, Nicky.� She took her hands through his hair.
�Oh, Sunnie.�
�Do you like that?�
�I love whatever you do to me.� He pushed her against the banister and pushed himself again her, so she could feel how aroused he already was. �Why must you do this all the time?� He started kissing her neck.
�You started it, Baby, because you know how I like it.�
�Well you know what I like.� He stopped kissing her neck and she started kissing his. �I was standing at the door watching you, well mainly your ass, and I just got so fucking horny. I tried to control myself, but it never works when it�s you.� He felt her tongue. �Oh shit.� He moaned. �Controlling myself only works when it�s other girls.� She bit his neck. �Ow! Damn it, Sweets.� She looked at him as he put his hand on his neck. �Why the hell did you do that?�
�What do you mean other girls?� She glared at him.
�I was joking. I�m sorry.�
�Yeah.� She pushed him away and went to walk, but he stopped her.
�Sweets, I�m sorry.�
�I can�t believe you have the nerve to say that after last night.�
�Our night of hot steamy wild sex?� He smiled, but she didn�t.
�Tabu.� He looked at her. �I know it wasn�t your fault, but that�s not the point.�
�I thought we weren�t going to mention it?� She looked at him this time. �Sunnie, I love you and don�t want anything to come between us. That happened once already and I don�t want it to happen again.�
�Neither do I.�
�Good. Let�s not mention last night again.�
�Alright.� He smiled and took her in his arms.
�Now where were we?�
�I believe I was turning you on.�
�Oh yeah.� They kissed and she started undoing his pants. �Ya can�t wait, huh?�
�Maybe if ya weren�t so damn good, but ya have to be so damn good and I hate it.�
�Ya know ya like it.�
�Shut the hell up and just kiss me.� He continued kissing her and she pushed him inside. They kept kissing and worked their way back the hall to the bedroom, taking off their clothes in the process. They got into the bedroom and Nickolas pushed Sunshine onto the bed and got on top of her. They started kissing again, as the doorbell rang. They ignored it and continued with their activities. Sunshine put Nickolas on his back and kept kissing him. She made a trail of kisses from his mouth down to his waist and back up again as the doorbell rang again.
�Sunnie?�
�Hmm?�
�Will you go back down?�
�One step at a time, Baby. I am warming you up first.� He smiled and she kissed him. �But if you don�t be a good boy and let me do my thing I�m going to have to get out those fuzzy handcuffs that haven�t been getting any use.�
�Mmm, sounds promising. As long as we can do that one position I�ve been dying to do to you.�
�You know how I feel about that. I don�t put things in my ass that don�t belong there and that doesn�t belong there.�
�Come on.� The doorbell rang a third time. �I want to know how good it feels with you.� She just looked at him. �It�s been six years. Ya know we are married.�
�No shit.�
�Then why put me through this when ya know how much I want to do it.�
�We had this conversation on our honeymoon and I don�t want to have it again.� He just looked at her. �Firstly, I don�t think doggy style is sexy at all.
�We can make it sexy.� He cupped her face and kissed her.
�Secondly, you�re, like, practically pressuring me into it. The more you pressure the more I don�t want to do it.�
�I�m sorry, Sweets, I don�t mean to.�
�I know you don�t but you do not realizing it. You know you can�t make me do anything I don�t want to do.�
�I know that.�
�Then why try?�
�Because I�m a dick.�
�You said it not me.� He grinned and kissed her, as the doorbell rang yet again.
�Can we do it just once?� She stopped the kiss and got off him. �Sweets, where ya going?�
�You really know how to ruin the moment, Carter.� She walked from the bedroom and picked up her clothes along the way. She stopped in the parlor and started sticking her clothes back on, as Nickolas walked from the hall. �I can�t believe how obsessed you are with the idea of giving it to me up the ass.�
�I ain�t obsessed with it.� He started getting dressed.
�Don�t give me that shit. Every time we get intimate you have to mention the whole doggy style thing. It�s like you don�t even care how I feel.�
�I do care.�
�If you weren�t comfortable with the way you satisfy me at times I wouldn�t be pressuring you into doing it.� There was a knock. �Ugh!� She walked to the door and opened it. �What?� She saw Kevin and Howard standing there. �Who in the hell gave you the right to come here? After last night I don�t want to see you. I don�t even want you at my place of residence.� She slammed the door shut and walked away.
�Sunnie, what the hell is wrong?�
�You and those bastards out there is what�s wrong!� He just looked at her. �You�re pressuring me into shit I don�t want to do and they�re trying to ruin my marriage! I can�t deal with this now!� She sat on the sofa and started crying.
�Hey, Sweets, it�s all right.� He sat beside her and took her in his arms.
�With all that�s happened in the past few months I can�t deal with someone pressuring me or something trying to ruin our marriage. It�s too much to handle.�
�It�ll be all right.� He kissed her forehead.
�Nicky, I�m going to go to Texas tomorrow to finish the movie.�
�Is it what you want?�
�Yeah; I am the star, ya know.�
�I guess so.�
�Maybe we could go away sometime; just us.�
�I guess we could.�
�Then again you have the tour.�
�We can work something out.� She looked at him and smiled. �I love you.�
�I love you.� She kissed him.
