-Emily –

I woke up just before 8 and found Zac sitting on the bed, fully dressed and looked like he’d slept 24 hours. How did he do that?!

“Good Morning.”

He smiled at me. “Good morning.”

I sat up and kissed his shoulder. “Did you carry me to bed?”

“I did, you fell asleep about midnight and you’d complained of a headache before. I didn’t want to wake you up.”

I studied him a moment, he was waiting on me to wake up no doubt about that. He was fidgeting with the shirt tail and he’d yet to really look at me.

“What’s wrong?”

“I was thinking about something Casey mentioned last night before bed.”

I kissed his shoulder again. “Ok.”

He turned slightly to me. “Gabby tried to get me to have sex with her. It was Friday night and she’d fallen asleep on the sofa alone, Caleb was the only other person awake with me and he couldn’t pick her up, so I did.”

“How did you know where her room was?”

“She told me, I took her to the room and laid her down. I went to leave and she grabbed my wrist.”

I sat quietly, letting him finish, but I was sure the end wasn’t where my brain jumped too. He surely would have told me much sooner if things had gone too far.

“When she got my wrist I looked at her and honestly she looked to alert and awake to have ever been asleep. She tried to pull me toward the bed and I pulled away from her. She asked me to just lay there with her but she was unbuttoning her shirt and I told her I couldn’t and I walked out. I guess I didn’t pay much attention to what she was really doing, she never seemed to go too far and just touched my arm or shoulder, wrist.”

“What about Julie?”

“She came on stronger, but I told her no as well. I guess I never…” he stopped.

I laid my finger on his lips and he looked at me.

“You told them no.”

“But not why.”

I kissed him. “But you told them no.”

“I should have told you they were here in February and about what happen sooner.”

I kissed him again, not pulling away as quickly this time.

“I tell you about some women throwing themselves at me and you come onto me? I’m confused.”

“What did you expect?”

He looked at the spread. “That you would be upset about it, that you’d be mad at me.”

“Why?”

“Because I didn’t tell you they were there, I didn’t tell you about them hitting on me all week, I never even mentioned they tried to get me to have sex with them, never told them why I said no.”

“Did you want to have sex with either of them?”

His face paled and he looked at me. “No! I never wanted too!”

“Then why should I be mad?”

He frowned; he was telling the truth he hadn’t wanted too. I kissed his neck and pulled the hair band out of his hair, ran my fingers through the back of it, he relaxed some. I closed my hand around a good handful of his hair and pulled his head back. He whined just a bit, but didn’t stop me from running my tongue up his throat; he actually moaned lightly and shivered. I kissed his jaw line and nibbled his ear.

“Or did you want me to be mad so I would punish you for it?”

He shivered again, didn’t move his hands to stop me or anything, but he didn’t answer the question either.

“Zachary.”

“Y..yes?”

I climbed into his lap. “I am not mad because you said no to them, you left the room and you did not give in to them, either of them.”

I held his hair though. “But, if what you wanted was to be punished…”

I felt him tremble under me. “I didn’t bring anything with us.” I said.

“There are drumsticks…” he whispered.

“Zac…”

“I really don’t mind them Emily.”

I kissed his neck. “So you did want to be punished? Simply because you did not tell me?”

“Please…”

“And you want this here, right now?”

“Yes…”

I had not used drumsticks on him since Adam had used that one on me, I could always use my hand but he suggested them and it was obvious that’s what he wanted me to use. I held his hair a little bit longer, mostly deciding before I let it go. He laid his head on my shoulder.

“I really should have told you they were present when I called you. It was wrong for you to find out by a twitter post that Amanda saw and I am sorry that’s how you found out. I really didn’t know she had posted pictures of us or of me until we were home. Likewise, I should have told you about their advances and about them trying as soon as I got home. I just didn’t think it was important at the time.”

“But, are you sure you want to be spanked now? It is early Zac and everyone is going to ask you why you’re sitting down easily.”

He shivered when I said spanked, but I could already feel the erection starting against my thigh. “I don’t care.”

I paused a moment. “Where are your drumsticks?”

“My bag in the top left compartment.”

“Get up, strip, and you know what position to be in.”

I got up out of his lap and went to his suitcase, there were 3 sizes and I choose the medium size one and then went to the door to make sure it was locked well. I then turned to him, found he was naked and already bend over the bed. I walked to him and tapped his thighs to spread them a little more.

“How many do you believe you deserve?”

“Twenty.”

“You will count them then.”

He nodded and I kept them light through ten, but he actually asked me to hit him a little harder. He’d not had any problems saying the number through ten and I wasn’t sure I wanted to really hurt him but I complied when he asked, eleven through twenty were harder and by the time he made it to twenty it was whispered mostly. He didn’t move from the position as I laid the drumstick down on the table beside the bed. I returned to his side and laid my hand on his lower back, just rubbing some before moving it down over his now red ass. He actually leaned back a bit when my hand paused on his ass. I moved my hand down over the sac, paused and listened to him whimper some.

“I don’t think you need any warm up, you seem pretty ready.”

He just glanced back a moment and I ran my free hand into his hair, very gently guided him to rise up. He was aroused enough from the spanking, didn’t take him long to get me ready either but he let me lead, which was fine. I liked being on top sometimes.

-Taylor –

I had been up since seven and I was half expecting Zac to be there, but only Casey and Alex were awake. So we were sitting and just chatting, waiting on the others to wake up.

“I’m kind of shocked that Zac’s not awake yet, he’s been up at eight the last few days.”

Casey smiled and looked at me. “Well, he may have gotten lucky last night.”

“What do you mean?” I asked cautiously.

“Emily  fell asleep on him about eleven thirty. I swear it’s the shampoo. Gabby and Julie were all over him at Fool’s Banquet. Yet, Zac swears he didn’t have sex with either of them.”

“What do you mean he swears he didn’t?”

Certainly Zac was not that stupid, he’d cheated on Kate technically but he also knew what it felt like to be cheated on and I would certainly hope he would never hurt Emily that way. I recall Gabby and Julie being around him a lot, but I recall him looking uncomfortable.

“Gabby said that she and Zac slept together during Fool’s Banquet. That he carried her to bed and things went from there. Julie says she was there but didn’t participate.” Casey said.

I pondered that for a moment. “No. Gabby and Julie are lying, I heard him tell them no more than once.”

He and Alex leaned back. “He divorced that bitch, what did Kate do, turn him into a monk?” Alex asked.

I laughed, yeah he was real monk like sleeping with Emily in the studio and the conference room, and I was sure his office as well. But, how can I tell them why he said no without telling them about Emily?

“No. Zac’s just…Well; he said many years ago that he didn’t believe in having sex with random women that he needed to feel something for them.”

Neither seemed to believe that but thankfully Kent came in, grinning like a cat.

“What you so happy so early? Your usually Mr. Grumpy pants.” Casey said.

“I don’t know who brought the girl, but whoever did should be thanked.”

“Why?” Alex asked.

I was certainly wondering the same thing; did Emily get up without me seeing and make some awesome breakfast or something?

“I was coming up the hallway and I guess I came by her room, I heard her outside the door. She evidently took someone back to the room for some fun.”

Fuck! Fuck! I did not need that image in my head!

“Could be Zac, he carried her to bed.” Casey said.

Kent looked confused. “No offense Taylor, but your little brother is a prude and the way she sounds, I highly doubt he’s in that room.”

“None taken.” But, the problem was, I knew for a fact that it was Zac in that room with her.

“Maybe she’ll just pick a random guy each night…” Kent said.

Alex and Casey smiled. “Maybe more than one?”

I got up and excused myself, god help them if Zac walked in and heard them but apparently he was indeed awake and preoccupied. I did not need to hear that though and I went to the kitchen and made myself a quick breakfast, ended up fixing Isaac something too. When he asked why I didn’t fix Zac anything I informed him of what Kent said and what they were saying. He seemed concerned about that. We both agreed to keep an eye on Zac during the day, we would blurt out their secret versus having him beat someone up. We found a group after eating and got occupied.

-Zac-

Sometimes, being honest really does pay off. My ass would hurt a bit during the day but it was worth it, I had been trying to figure out how the hell to get her to use those drumsticks again for over 8 months. After some cuddle time afterwards we both got showered and dressed, she mentioned something about getting in the pool today since it was hot. I didn’t see what she put on until she came out of the bathroom.

“Um, really?”

She looked at me at that two piece suit. “You told me to pack at least two.”

There was just something about seeing 95% of her skin that didn’t settle well with me at the moment, considering the attention she got with pants and a shirt. She picked up a button up shirt and slipped it on, I recognized it as one of mine actually. I had put my swim trunks on and a t-shirt, but I may or may not get in. I sat down easily on the bed; it was well worth it though. She walked over and kissed me.

“Don’t do that out there, they will ask.”

“I will just tell them it was your fault.”

She smiled. “No you won’t and we both know that.”

We left the room a few moments apart and walked to the kitchen. It was Casey that commented on her bathing suit first, she’s stretched up and he saw the back side of the blue and white striped suit. I cut my eyes to him, but didn’t say anything. After breakfast we went outside and she found a sunny spot within my view. I sat down and the moment she took the shirt off it was like everyone stopped, including the three with me. Taylor and Isaac both looked confused at their group until they turned around; Emily was oblivious to it as she lay down to tan. We tried to focus but I did keep looking back toward her and around.

“Hey, you ok?”Casey asked.

I looked up from my tablet. “Yeah.”

“Sure? I’ve asked you the same question for times now.”

“I’m sure.”

Ok, so my ass hurt quite a bit on these chairs, but that was not something I was going to share.

Alex giggled. “You keep staring at her Zac, we know it’s been a while you’ve had any…release. Why not try with her? You do know her pretty well.”

I wanted to laugh, it hadn’t been that long since a release and I wouldn’t have to try with her. All I’d have to do is kiss her neck and she’s go willingly.

“Can we get back to the subject here?”

“Sure.” They said. All smiled.

“From what Kent said, she seems rather easy anyway. She was with someone this morning and Casey said you took her to bed. Did you seal the deal too?” Jacob asked.

I gritted my teeth for the comment about her being easy, but how they hell did they know she was with someone?!

“No. I left her on the bed asleep.”

“Like you did Gabby?”

I laid the tablet down. “What the hell are you talking about Jacob?”

“We know you carried Gabby to bed, but according to Gabby you did a lot more than just lay her down and leave. She really is looking forward to seeing you.”

“Gabby lied to you then, because I never had sex with her.”

I heard Emily laugh and turned toward her. Carrick was sitting on the ground beside her chair gesturing wildly with his hands and she was smiling at him. I remained in my seat but the way he was looking at her and somewhere in the back of my mind it felt like he might be trying to test the theory of how easy she was. That made me want to punch him, despite the fact that I knew he was our host and friend. I finally tore my eyes away and found Casey was looking at me weirdly. It went well for a while, until she got in the pool. Most of my group but Casey stopped and stared, I swore Jacob was drooling even, Casey was looking at me. Given that all of us were outside the only four people not staring, drooling, or covering their laps was me, my brothers, and Casey. Paul was watching her intently and Kent had moved pillows over his lap along with three others.

That pissed me off. How dare they even see her that way! She was my girlfriend and they were staring at her like she was some prize to be won. She wasn’t here for them to gawk at! It was Taylor’s hand on my shoulder that caused me to look up; I almost swung instead of looking though.

“Hey, I need to talk to you alone for a moment. I’m sure the rest of your group won’t mind.”

I reluctantly got up and followed him inside; he pulled the door tightly closed behind him.

“What the hell is your problem?” Taylor asked.

“What are you talking about?”

“I have known you for 24 years Zachary; I can see it all on your face. You are pissed off.”

“It’s nothing.”

I glanced out the window, noticed that now several guys had jumped into the pool. Isaac was sitting on the side and he was watching her. I bite my lip as Kent got close to her. Taylor seemed to pause.

“You’re jealous?”

“No!” I snapped.

He followed my line of sight straight to her. “It was you she was with this morning, right?”

“How in the hell does anyone know she was with someone?”

He laughed and then laid his hands on my shoulders. “Because whatever you were doing to her made her loud enough to hear outside the room. Kent came by and heard her.”

I felt the intense heat rush to my face and Taylor only smiled.

“So it was you then?”

“Taylor, who else would she be with?”

“Do you trust her Zac?”

“Yes.”

“Then why are you staring at her? Why are you getting pissed because the other men here are noticing the only female around?”

I leaned against the table behind me, regretted that when pain shot up my spine.

“Are you ok?” Taylor asked.

“Yeah. I’m staring because I don’t want her to be freaked out. I’m allowed to get pissed Taylor.”

“You know that no matter what happens or what they do, she won’t bring anyone to the room or go to theirs, right?”

“Yes. I trust her Taylor, I just…I don’t like it that they are.”

“Did you have sex with Gabby in February?”

“No. Why do people keep asking me that? I carried her to bed once, she tried to get me to stay but I said no and left. I’ve not even seen them naked or in bathing suits because it’s fucking cold in February.”

He leaned against the wall and appraised me and I hated that.

“Emily is defiantly not Kate, not that I mind that really I love that she’s not. But, Zac you can’t be all jealous and pissed off because other men are looking at her. Sure, we didn’t expect it to be all men, but they’re going to look.”

“Why the hell not?”

He smiled. “Because other women look at you all the time Zachary, at the community gathering they stared at you, took pictures, asked questions, commented on your hair or shirt. At the concerts they scream your name, tell you they want to have your kids, they throw underwear at you on stage sometimes. Not to mention forums, Emily is active there Zac, I’ve seen her comment on posts and the ones above hers were telling you how nice you looked, how hot you are, how they wanted to see more. When Julie and Gabby arrive, I can about bet that they’re going to attach themselves to you. Do you think she won’t have a problem if they lay all over you like last time?”

I hated when he did that. He smiled when he was done, patted my shoulder and went back outside. Leaving me standing alone in the hallway thinking about what he said. The other men here weren’t acting like Gabby and Julie, they weren’t hanging all over her, at least not yet they weren’t. But, I had a right to be jealous of them, a right to feel like punching them for saying she was easy or that she would go with them. Yet, I couldn’t tell them why. That decision to keep our relationship private seemed to be biting me in the ass now. Did it really do any good?

Taylor also made a point about the other women that Emily dealt with, sure most of Tulsa knew but Hanson Day had fans that didn’t and there were a few times where their comments were very sexual toward me and Emily hadn’t said a word about it. She knew exactly where I’d be that night. Emily was grown and I know that if any of them made her feel uncomfortable she would come to me anyway. After all, she’d said many times that I made her feel safe.

It did nothing to calm the jealous inferno though; they were looking at my girlfriend after all. But, I would have to swallow it like she did. I finally returned outside and found Casey was sitting beside her, but he was a safe distance and she was smiling some and listening. I sat back down; fresh waves of pain seeping up my spine.

“You ok Zac?” Jacob asked.

“Yeah. These chairs aren’t the best.”

“I agree.”

Groups formed again and while it kept glancing and wishing they’d just stop I tried not to let it get to me. I didn’t know how she’d react to the other two; I kind of prayed they wouldn’t show up at all. About four Emily sat down beside me and when I glanced at her I could tell something was wrong but I couldn’t ask. It didn’t take long to see Paul looking confused by the pool though.

Jacob looked at him too. “Is he bothering you? I saw you just walk away.”

She shrugged. “He’s not really bothering me just, I didn’t like his question.”

“Paul’s a little strange at times; didn’t he stay close to you Zac at Fool’s Banquet?”

“Kind of.” It suddenly dawned on me, most of the pictures that Gabby had posted of me he had taken and all of those were when Gabby or Julie was very close to me.

“Well, we don’t mind your company at all. It gets quite boring staring at Zac.” Casey said.

She giggled but she gave him this weird look. “He’s not bad to stare at actually.”

“Not even I can disagree with that.” I said.

“Stare at yourself in the mirror a lot?” Jacob asked.

I smiled. “I don’t need to.”

Paul didn’t come near her while she was around me that afternoon, Carrick and Seth fixed dinner and afterwards we did indoor groups a bit, Emily floated but stayed close to myself, Taylor, or Isaac but she didn’t go to Paul’s group at all. She went to the bedroom about nine and when I went at 10:30 she was already asleep. I locked the door and went to bed myself, it was one thing to do marathon days but eventually sleep wins.
