*****CHAPTER FIVE*****

The following morning found Jade and Dean in a heap on the floor of her condo about a foot from her bed. She lifted her head and rubbed her eyes with her right hand that felt rather sore. She groaned as she let her head drop back down on the floor and lifted her wrist to examine the damage. Her wrist had a purple colored bruised all the way around and she found a nice black and blue one on her shoulder where she took the brunt force of the fall off the bed. She tried to move her left arm then and found it unyielding, and then noticed the dead weight of Dean across her body.

“Dean” she said and tried to shake him, but he wasn’t going to budge. She tried to nudge him again, but it was of no use and she finally resorted to just pushing him off her. She groaned with moving and realized that not only would she be sore walking, but that she had more bruises than she’d thought. She finally managed to get out from under the dead weight of a sleeping Dean and made her way to the bathroom and turned on the hottest shower she could stand. As she let the water warm up she looked over her reflection in the mirror. She had purple ring bruises on her wrists, a rather large black and blue one on her left shoulder, a nice dark purple one on her neck just above the right side of her collarbone… and she found that she had bruises on her hips from his grip of death on her. It wasn’t until she went to step into the shower that she noticed she also had small bruises on her left ankle. Apparently the fall off the bed was worse than she’d thought… that was when she remembered the cord from the lamp getting wound around her ankle upon falling. Some things in her life will never find reason or explanation.

“Jeez…” she mumbled as she finally stepped into the shower and felt the sting as the hot water ran over her body and hit the sore skin of her bruises.

Dean woke up to find himself alone on the floor and heard the shower running in the bathroom. He groaned as he looked around then pushed himself up to standing and winced at the pain in his shoulders. He ran his hand over his left one and felt the deep set scratches… he knew that was going to hurt when he showered. He didn’t even bother to take the time to find out what other injuries he sustained. He made his way to the bathroom and tried the handle on the door… which wouldn’t move. He furrowed his brow in confusion and then a thought occurred to him, and he pushed the door open. He gave a soft chuckle and made a mental note to inform her that locking a door only works when it’s fully closed. He walked into the steam filled room and caught a glimpse of his own reflection. He did take a moment to view the scratches on his back, and saw that they looked almost like claw marks, but that could just be the foggy mirror. He could hear Jade start to hum as she showered and he finally slide the door open across its track. She had been in the middle of shampooing her hair when he stepped in and trailed his fingers along her back. He didn’t expect her reaction.

Jade had been in her own world of enjoying a hot shower, and had just put shampoo in her hair, thinking that the door was locked when she felt hands travel down her back. She screamed and turned around so quickly that she slipped and stumbled into Dean who took the full force of her stumble and fell back against the wall and they both slipped and slided until they found sure footing and managed to stand up straight again. Jade just laughed as she finally stood up and felt her pride hurt a little, but thankfully nothing else was hurt.

“Jesus woman…” Dean said as he finally stood up and gave her a stern look
“Dean, for fuck’s sake… you snuck up on me in the shower!” she said and playfully punched him in the arm. “You can’t just do that to a person and not expect a violent reaction!” she said as she brought her head under the stream of water and began washing out the shampoo.
“Yeah, I know that now…” He said as he reached up and grabbed the handle of the removable shower head and ran the water over his head
“Hey!” Jade shouted at him as she wiped water out of her eyes. She cleared her eyes of the water just in time to see the wince on his face as the hot water ran over the scratches on his back. She smiled as he gave a soft grunt and made that ‘I’m a man-I can take it’ face.
“I saw that” she said as she rubbed the conditioner into her hair and replaced the showerhead back into the holder. She rinsed out her hair and moved him under the stream of hot water chuckling at the wince he showed on his face as the hot water hit his skin. She heard him mumble something about scorching hot water… she liked hotter showers than most people do. She stepped out of the shower then much to Dean’s dismay.

“Hey where you going?” He said as he stuck his head out of the shower.

“Coffee” she said as she placed a soft kiss on his lips after wrapping a towel around herself.


Onyx had been on the verge of waking for about five minutes when a scream and a loud clatter followed by a thud made her open her eyes and look up at her ceiling. She had forgotten most of what had transpired the night before, until the memory of the bar started to slowly flow back to her. That was when she felt Sam stir next to her and the memory of him came back to her in a flood.

“What the- are they still going at it?” Sam asked with a sleep filled voice

“I don’t think so… that sounded like she fell in the shower” Onyx said as she finally sat up rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

“Fell in the shower? I thought my brother was the only one who could accomplish that” Sam said as he yawned and stretched, his long lean body almost too tall for the bed.

“You don’t know my sister… I’ve never met anyone as gracefully clumsy as she is” Onyx said with a laugh and swung her feet over the side of the bed and stretched then hung her head for a moment letting the sleep drain from her body.

That was when she felt Sam move and felt him pull her hair to the side and his soft lips kiss the back of her neck. She let out a deep sigh then feeling the hormones in her body try to take over. They never got to finish what they’d started the night before, and she knew that it’d be about an hour before her sister took the liberty of letting herself in to ‘check’ on her. Her mind was screaming at her not to give in, not to get attached to anyone, but her body was making the decision that her mind was insane. Suddenly a thought ran through her head… he was a good foot taller than her, and that could be awkward. She felt his weight shift on the bed again and suddenly his legs were on either side of her hers and his hands ran down her back to the hem of her shirt. He pulled the shirt up and she raised her arms as he pulled the shirt off her body and tossed it aside. She leaned back and let her bare skin press against his as she felt him press his lips against her neck again as his hands ran over her stomach exploring the soft flesh of her body. When she felt Sam bite down softly on the back of her neck, just at shoulder level, she sucked in a sharp rush of air. When his bite became harder she had to fight to keep from throwing her head back in an instinct of defense. She never let anyone mark her… it was a territorial thing. She decided long ago that she didn’t want to be claimed by anyone… but for some reason she let Sam get away with it. She felt his hands travel around to her back and slowly start to push down on the waistband of her pants. She took the initiative then and stood up and slowly pushed the waistband down over her hips and felt her pants fall softly to the floor as she stepped out of them.

Sam watched her with fascination as she stood up and slowly removed her pants from her body. When she turned around to face him, he was sure she could see the wonderment in his face at her beauty, but he had to smile a sheepish smile at the surprise on her face. She didn’t know that before he’d moved to sit behind her, he’d rid himself of his boxers.

Onyx stood there a moment like a deer in the road at the sight of a naked Sam. She wasn’t expecting it and quite frankly was embarrassed that she hadn’t noticed earlier. Suddenly she began to fidget, it was a nervous tick of hers. She didn’t quite know why she was so nervous, but it hit her like a freight train. She felt naked in front of him, which was ironic because she was naked in front of him. She then tried to cover herself but Sam put a stop to it the moment she started to move.

Sam could sense her mood shift and decided that it was up to him to take the lead. He watched as she started to fidget and when she went to move her hands to cover herself he stood up, gave her a wicked little look and backed her to the wall. Seeing the look of confused concern on her face he took both her hands and pinned them to the wall above her head, then leaned down and kissed her with a passion that would bruise anyone’s lips. He felt her hesitation begin to crumble as she returned his kiss, and standing on her tiptoes to compensate for the difference in height.

She liked the controlling vibe she was getting off him and could feel that it was turning him on as well. She was starting to get week in the knees when suddenly her hands were released and she felt his hands grip her ass and lift her up. She gave a squeak as he pushed her against the wall and drove into her with a force, and she knew she’d be sore for it later. She wrapped her legs around him and hooked her ankles together, and found that she was eye level with him. She hated the idea that he had to hold her up but, she had to admire his creativity in avoiding the height gap.

He broke the kiss as he started to pick up a rhythm and felt her hands wrap around his neck trying to bring him back down into a kiss again. He pulled back from her and looked her in the eyes as he started to thrust into her so hard that the picture on the far end of the wall started shake. He could tell by the look in her eyes that she wasn’t one for all the romantic crap most men try to pull… she didn’t mind the control freak in him. He enjoyed that about her… and with those thoughts in his mid he drove into her again and again until she finally found that ‘otherworldly’ strength women find on adrenaline and pulled him into a brutal kiss. Their tongues danced the mambo with each other as their bodies became tangled together against the wall. Their breathing became quicker and both could tell that neither would be able to hold out much longer. When their eagerness became to much Onyx lost a little of her control and wound up biting Sam’s lip hard enough to make him pull away from her mouth and drop his head onto her shoulder. With one last forceful stroke into her body Onyx screamed and Sam bit down on her shoulder to keep from screaming himself. He figured turnabout was fair play… she marked him, so he would mark her. Onyx’s scream died out and Sam’s strength gave way and they collapsed into a heap on the floor. They stayed there, a tangled mess of limbs while they tried to catch their breath. Onyx knew they didn’t have long before her sister would be over to check on her and… raid her kitchen.

Just then Onyx heard her front door open and Jade’s voice echo down the hallway.

“Onnie?! You awake yet?” she shouted.

“Jesus… Sam, get up!” Onyx whispered as she tried to move but found that neither one of them were quite capable of much.

“Is that your sister?” He whispered as he used his long reach to grab the sheet from the bed and pull it over them just before Jade walked down the hall.

“Onnie… are you even-“ her words were cut off as she stepped into her sister’s bedroom. “Oh! Oh god!”

“Well my car is outside so Sam must be here somewhere” came Dean’s voice from down the hallway.

Jade scrambled with closed eyes to get out of the bedroom as quickly as possible and to keep Dean from seeing the same sight. “Sorry! So Sorry!” She closed the door quickly behind her and ran smack into Dean as she blindly turned around.

“Jeez woman… you’re a walking catastrophe!” He stated as she stood there like a trauma victim after seeing a murder. “Trust me… you don’t wanna see that” she said and walked away. As she walked down the hall she heard Dean mumble something and open the door. She heard Sam shout Dean’s name and something about privacy rules.

“Way to go Sammy boy!” Dean said and apparently had the door slammed in his face because he walked down the hallway rubbing his forehead.

Jade was in the kitchen standing next to the coffee pot as it gurgled with fresh brewing java. The smirk on her face that she was trying to hide made Dean stop in his tracks and give her a look to kill.

“What?” He said as he walked into the kitchen

“Nothing” she said smugly and pulled a package of frozen peas out of the freezer and tossed them to him.

“The hell is this for?” Dean said holding the frozen peas. Jade just scoffed, rolled her eyes and crossed the short distance between them. She grabbed the peas from his hand, pressed them to the small lump forming on his forehead, took his left hand and placed it on the bag of peas. It was like babysitting a small child with this one.

“It’ll make the lump of shame go down… sadly there’s no icepack in the world big enough for your ego.” She stated sarcastically as she pulled four mugs off the rack on the wall and poured two of them full of the steaming java. She heard Dean cross the floor and felt him stand right behind her.

“I didn’t hear you complaining last night” he whispered to her as he set the frozen peas on the counter and ran his hands around her stomach. He was about to lean forward to nuzzle her when he heard Sam clear his throat from the doorway to the kitchen.

Sam was the first to see his brother pawing the redhead yet again. He cleared his throat as Onyx walked up to the doorway. They both smirked as Jade pulled Dean’s hands from her waist and slipped from between him and counter to hand her sister a cup of strong black coffee.

“There’s plenty for you boys as well” she smiled and looked around at everyone as she leaned against the counter near the sink and sipped on her steaming cup of java. “So Onnie… still up for heading out tomorrow? I found a strange postcard in my mailbox this morning inviting us to the festival this year… it’s tomorrow night.”

“Considering you had wanted to leave this morning… you can pretty much figure I’m up for going whenever” Onyx said and finished her first cup of coffee and pour herself another one.

Neither girl had even noticed the puzzled looks on both boys faces at the sudden shift of conversation.

“Heading out to where?” Sam asked

“Vegas baby” Jade said and raised her coffee mug in a toast to the city of sin.

“You girls are going to Vegas?” Sam stated with a little bit of sadness to his voice.

“Yup, it’s the Vegas Faire this weekend, and we never miss it” Onyx said as she walked back to Sam and offered him some of her fresh cup of coffee.

“Oh… so you’re leaving tomorrow morning then?” Dean said trying not to sound hurt

“Yes we’re leaving tomorrow morning. Which gives you two just enough time to get used to the idea of leaving your car parked in the garage.” Jade stated as she walked over to Dean and leaned on the counter next to him. “Think you can bear to be away from your car for three days?”

“I… uh… what?” Dean said as he set down his empty cup of coffee and just looked at Jade.

“Well we always take my truck. It’s better suited to the drive” Onyx said as she looked up at Sam. “I know I’d like to have more company for this trip”

“I heard that” Jade said as she turned to face Dean and placed a soft kiss on his lips “You’re coming along right?” she emphasized her question by leaning into him and whispering in his ear. “I’ll make it worth your while…” she ran her hands over his jean clad ass and pulled him against her… which made Dean grunt softly.

“Oh for the love of- would you just take it back to your place already Jacee?” Onyx stated as she left her mug on the counter and walked back towards her bedroom.

“Well Sammy, looks like we’re going to Vegas!” Dean said over the redhead’s shoulder as she began to nibble on his neck.

“Great… this will be interesting” Sam turned in the doorway and headed out of the kitchen. The one thing he really couldn’t stand, was watching his brother get it on. He followed Onyx into her room as she began pulling her Ren and Pirate garb out of her closet. “What’s all this?” Sam asked with a raised eyebrow. “It looks kinda kinky…” she said with a smirk.

“We’re going to Vegas for the Faire” She said looking at Sam like he was crazy.

“What Faire?”

“Renaissance Faire…” she said with a ‘hello’ sound to her voice.

“They still have those?” Sam said sounding almost excited. While he wasn’t one for dressing up, he had always wanted to go to one. Onyx was about to say something when they heard a crash from the kitchen. Onyx shook her head and walked to her doorway.

“HOLY SHIT!” was Dean’s shout as a black crow came flying into the kitchen through the open window causing him to drop the coffee cup and take cover. The sound of shattering plaster made Jade turn around to see Dean cowering from the small black bird that tried to wreck havoc in the kitchen. Now granted for the girls, this was a common occurrence… they’d had this issue with crows for a while, and still hadn’t figured out why.

“The fuck was that?” Onyx shouted from the doorway to her bedroom

“Crow!” was Jade’s one word reply while laughing hysterically at Dean.

When the bird finally flew back out the window Jade had already cleaned up the broken mug and remnants of spilled coffee. Dean just looked at her like a deer in headlights.

“Yeah… I should have warned you, but I didn’t think we’d be here long enough for the crow to attack anyone.”

“Yeah, thanks” he spat

“Right… sorry. Okay! I gotta go pack. Come on” she stated the last as she grabbed Dean’s arm and lead him off towards the front door. This was going to be one hell of an interesting trip for all of them…
