*Zain's POV*

  I shuffled my feet, standing outside the door, trying to gather the nerve to talk to Chris. Jealousy passed me in the hall, heading to the nursery so she could put Azarius down for a nap, and gave me a reassuring squeeze on my shoulder. Even though I didn't feel it.

  That's one thing that bothers me at times, is I can't really feel. I have feeling in my lips, nose, and crotch, but there's too much nerve damage to feel anywhere else.

  I finally grew a sack and knocked on the door to their room, and after a moment, Sin told me to come in. I opened the door, and stuck my head. in. "Everything okay?" I asked. "We're good." Sin responded, and I smiled at them.

  "Good. I was wondering, Chris, could I talk to you? Outside?" I asked him hesitantly. He looked at Sin, who just shrugged. I hadn't told her about what I wanted to say to Chris. I hadn't told her I wanted to talk to him at all, actually.

  "Um, I guess." Chris said in a harsh tone. I wanted to just say, "Forget it, it's alright." but I knew I couldn't leave this unsaid. He kissed Sin passionately, then stood up from the bed, and followed me all the way out to the backyard.

  "So, what's up?" Chris asked bitterly. I flinched at his tone, but spoke. "I just, I wanted to say, I feel like I've caused a bad rift between you and Sin, though she's explained to me what happened.

  "You two, from what everyone else has told me, honestly belong together, and I'm sure seeing us close isn't ideal for you." Chris tensed as I said those words, but I went on.

  "Another thing I wanted to say, is it might seem like it, but I honestly don't have feelings for Sin. She was like my sister when we were younger, and I hope to get that back someday. I don't ever want more than that."

  Chris's large muscles seemed to relax when I said that, and his facial features softened. Thank God. "Even if I did care for Sin as more than that, I still wouldn't pursue her, because while I'm sure you wouldn't trust or believe-" I was interrupted by him scoffing.

"What?"

"You don't know anything about me."

  I raised one eyebrow. "Christopher Thomas Cerulli, I'll be nice about your age, October 7th, hockey, pumpkin spice latte, chicken wings, should I go on?" Chris cocked his head to the side with a slight smile, and I took that as submission.

  "I don't think you would really believe me saying this, but I'm not the kind of guy to go after a girl that's taken. I'll stay by her side, but I won't pursue her. That's just not right." Chris smiled now, a full and genuine one.

  He stretched out a hand towards me, and I moved back, thinking I was about to get my ass handed to me by a taller, probably stronger, and scarier Goth. Chris chuckled. "Relax, not gonna hurt you."

  I did as he said, and then shook his head. "Can we start over?" I asked the musician, and he nodded. "Hey, I'm Chris Cerulli." he joked. I laughed as I responded, "I'm Zain Crawford."

*Chris's POV*

  I honestly didn't give two shits to befriend the guy, but I knew my wife and sister-in-law both would want us to, so I decided to just deal with it. Zain seemed happy enough to start over, so I wanted to at least try. It was only fair.

  He and I went back inside, and Ghost stopped him to talk, and I heard something about Zain going to Ghost's room, and I grinned, knowing what that entailed.

  I went upstairs to the nursery and opened the door silently, and saw all of the babies were sleeping. I shut the door, then went back into me and Sin's bedroom.

  Sin was laying on the bed, under the covers, giving me a seductive look. I chuckled at her. "Right now? Really? What if Zain walks in?" I asked. She smirked as she replied, "If he knocked before he'll knock again."

  I laughed at her, shaking my head, then pulled off my shirt. Sin smiled at me and motioned for me to lay with her. I unbuttoned my pants and let them fall to the floor, then crawled onto the bed beside her, still in my boxers.

  She moved the covers back so I could crawl under with her, and I did. She had nothing on. I pulled her close to me, desperate to feel her skin against mine, and she sighed happily.

  Her legs intertwined with mine, and I kissed her neck softly, trailing more kisses up her jaw-line and leading to her lips. I hovered my lips above hers for a moment, teasing her. "I hate you sometimes." she whispered, and I giggled at her. She really hates being teased.

  She moved over to dominate me, and began to rub my bulge over my boxers as she sucked on my neck. "Eye for an eye?" I asked softly. I felt her hot breath against my neck, and then her lips were roughly pressed against mine.
