Chapter One
Zac looked up at Taylor curiously as both their eyes landed on Avery's purse in the room. A room they had came to after coming to 3CG to get ready for their Hop Jam shows tonight or well Zac had came to change shirts and Taylor had came to change into a tighter pair of jeans.Ones that Zac was sure he had chosen to show off his ass."I think tonight should be the night," Taylor spoke as he looked away from Avery's purse. "Tonight we start phase one of that bet we made last week," he nodded reminding Zac of their bet.It was a simple bet really if you looked at it right. Find out which one of them was better at sex but of course Taylor being the man that he was had decided to add a twist. Make it more perverse than even Zac had suspected from his brother but maybe he should have seen it coming.He had suggested they both have sex with Avery.Zac wasn't exactly sure why Taylor had suggested her but he was sure Taylor had his reasons. He always had his reasons for doing what he did.Just half the time no one else knew what they were. Sometimes never found out either.Raising an eyebrow Zac sighed, "Just how am I going to get Avery to have sex with me?" he asked wishing now that he hadn't even agreed to the bet but he had been drunk and when Taylor had added Avery in as a factor it was too late to back out.Taylor wouldn't have let him, Zac knew that much so now here he was stuck in a bet he was wary on."I'll think of something," Taylor smiled as he adjusted the new pair of jeans he had on. "The thought of this makes me giddy," he sighed before walking towards the door to leave. "I actually get to act out my incest fantasy in the coming weeks."Rolling his eyes at Taylor's last words Zac stayed silent as he adjusted his shirt. Not sure why he was surprised that Taylor had an incest fantasy.His brother was that fucking twisted.Shaking his head after his shirt was on Zac left the room he was in as well though he didn't go outside just yet. Instead he went to the break room knowing he needed some of the alcohol that was in there. If he was going to have sex with Avery tonight then damn it he wanted some liquid courage first.*****Chewing on her lip as she headed into 3CG after helping to clean up after Hop Jam was over, Avery came to a stop when she heard muttered words and moans coming from a room down the hall. A part of her hoping that it wasn't the room she had left her purse.Making her way down to where the noise came from she stopped in her tracks as she looked into the cracked door seeing Taylor who had Natalie bent over his desk or at least she really hoped it was Natalie.Avery also knew she shouldn't be watching, she really shouldn't have been but it was kind of hard not too. Watching the way Taylor moved inside of Natalie, the way his back rippled some and the way he moaned. It was all too tantalizing and Avery hated to admit it but it was something she had fantasized about for a while now.She had fantasized over being with her own brother and at least right now she could stand here and watch him for a few seconds or minutes.However long the good Lord let her. Not that she thought God had a hand in this or liked how depraved Avery had become after catching Taylor masturbating while on tour in 2008.A chance thing that had ruined her ever since."It's hot isn't it?" a voice asked from beside Avery and she turned her head, feeling her cheeks getting hot when she saw Zac beside her looking through the crack in the door as well. "I wish I were him sometimes," he admitted which shocked Avery.As well as made her wonder why he was telling her this."I've always wanted to fuck her," he whispered his voice sounding sad as he said those words to her.Looking away from Zac, Avery blushed more as her eyes went back to the sight in front of her. Of Taylor who was still fucking Natalie against the desk."I...I wouldn't know," she lied before shaking her head. "I only came to get my purse which is kind of in there," she frowned slightly because it seemed she was going to have to wait for them to get done before she could get her purse back."And that's why you have lust in your eyes?" Zac questioned her as he leaned a bit closer to her. Avery shivering at his closeness as well as smelling the alcohol on his breath which surprised her.She hadn't know he drank at all. But maybe he had secrets she didn't know about just like she had ones he didn't know about.Making a face Avery sighed not sure what she could say to him. So instead she let her mind go back to Zac's drinking. Wondering when he had started and why because Avery was sure if Kate knew then she'd kill him.Kate seemed like such a strict bitch that sometimes Avery didn't know how Zac survived being married to her.Feeling her cheeks getting hot again Avery shook her head as she turned back to look at Zac. Being surprised at the fact that he had once again moved closer to her. "I...there is no lust," she lied before biting her lip hard.Watching as Zac smirked at her denial."You can be honest with me Avery," he whispered as he kept eye contact with her. "I admitted I wanted Natalie. You can admit you want Taylor," he whispered before inching his face closer to hers. "Who am I to judge you?"Avery closed her eyes at his words. Not sure how he had figured out she wanted Taylor from this bit of interaction but he had and now she felt vulnerable.Vulnerable in ways she hadn't ever felt before even if he said he wouldn't judge her. She was afraid he would or that he'd run and tell someone and the whole family would hate her, including Taylor and it was the last thing Avery wanted to happen.Nodding her head Avery opened her eyes, "I do want Taylor," she whispered back afraid Natalie or Taylor would hear them. "I want my own brother," she frowned finally admitting what she had wanted since she had been seventeen."I knew it," Zac smirked as he kept his face close to Avery's. "You know we both could help each other out right now," he spoke before pressing up against her.Avery swallowing hard as she felt his erection pressed against her ass. Not even asking him what he meant by his last statement because it was clear what he meant.Moving away from Zac some Avery raised an eyebrow, "How?" she asked though she knew exactly what he had in mind. "How can we help each other out?" she questioned again letting her eyes go back to Taylor and Natalie.Natalie was now on her knees sucking the cock that had just been inside of her. Avery hating herself for wishing that it was her who was sucking Taylor's cock after it had been inside of her.Zac once again stepped closer to Avery and once again she swallowed hard. "I think you know how Avery," he whispered as his lips went to rest against her ear. "We can fuck each other and I'll even let you call me Taylor," he finished as his smirk grew.A moan coming out of Avery at that and she knew she'd crack. She'd let him take her pants off before the night was through.If she couldn't have Taylor then maybe Zac was second best...that or she was just too horny to even care."O..okay," Avery agreed knowing it wasn't the best idea in the world but again she was horny and Zac didn't seem to be making this easier on her.He was just driving her own lust and making it worse than it had been from watching Taylor and Natalie fucking.After she had agreed Zac pulled away and Avery was helpless to stop herself as she followed him down the hallway from the offices to where the sound booth was.She was helpless to stop herself from following him inside the sound booth as well. Just watching as he shut the door and locked it.Feeling a bit better that at least he was being cautious of the fact that they could get walked in on.But then again someone could also see them through the mirror in the room as well but she really prayed no one did.When Zac turned to look at her after the door was shut and locked Avery felt even more nervous but she didn't say anything to stop things. Instead she watched as Zac took a deep breath as he walked to where she was, soon pulling her into a kiss.A kiss that made her moan out and a kiss that even though she knew it was coming had taken her by surprise. Mainly because his lips felt nice against her own lips.His lips were rough yet she liked how rough they were. They were in between too rough and too soft. If that even fucking made sense though it made sense to her lust filled brain.As she deepened the kiss Avery found her body leading the way back towards a couch that was in the room. Almost glad for the couch because she wasn't sure she could handle a desk.She had done it on a desk once with her ex-boyfriend Wilson and it had been uncomfortable.It was at the thought of Wilson that she felt some guilt as her back touched the couch as Zac laid her back on it.Wilson had visited her over Easter and they had agreed to work on things. In fact she was supposed to be flying out to New York to see him soon.She half wondered now if she could. Could she face him after having sex with Zac?Pulling away from the kiss Avery lifted her shirt off, throwing it to the floor, a blush coming to creep onto her cheeks as she felt Zac look over her. His eyes stopping at her chest and she had forgotten that she was wearing her black bra.She had worn it once in hopes of romancing Wilson not long after they had started dating. It had worked too because she had ended up losing her virginity to him."Black huh?" Zac asked her with an amused smirk as he continued to eye the bra she had on. "You got on matching panties too?" he muttered before letting his lips go to her neck where he kissed softly at her skin.Moaning out as Zac kissed at her skin Avery felt her eyes fall shut. "M..maybe," she stuttered out after Zac undid her bra. His lips kissing a trail down her neck as his hands pushed her bra off.Another moan slipping out of her mouth when not long after her bra was gone, his mouth was around one of her breasts. Causing her eyes to shut even tighter.The sensation of him sucking on her breasts being one she hadn't experienced before. Mainly because in all their time being together Wilson had never sucked on her breasts.But goddamn Zac was and he was so good at it.Whining when Zac eventually moved his mouth off her breast Avery just looked up at him as he took his shirt off. Throwing it to the floor and it was after his shirt was off that she looked at the wedding band on his neck.Thinking of Kate who was one of the many elephants in the room right now. The others being they were siblings and this was wrong and well Avery's own personal one that she still remembered.That night when she had masturbated beside Zac and he had pretended to be asleep. She wondered if he thought about that night as much as she did.It was the first and last time she had been such an exhibitionist but it was also something she used as a way to get off when she had to masturbate or even sometimes when Wilson couldn't get her to orgasm.Which was fucked up because Taylor was the one she had always lusted after all this time but it was Zac she used to get off.Shaking her head though she just offered Zac a smile as she looked over his chest. "You're beautiful," she whispered before reaching up for his wedding band. Pulling him in for another kiss and when Zac kissed her back he bit down on her bottom lip.His hands moving down to her jeans which he undid quickly. Avery lifting her hips to help him remove them along with her matching black panties and once she was naked Zac pulled away from the kiss.Her blush growing as Zac looked her over in all her naked glory. Though she did her best to forget that he was looking her over.Instead she moved her hands up to work on his jeans. "I think it's only fair you are naked too," she whispered before moving in to kiss him again as she pushed his pants and underwear off.Hating how eager it seemed she was but hell she was fucking eager. A part of her aching to have him inside of her.After he was naked too Zac's kisses got rougher as he positioned himself at her entrance."Are you on the pill?" he asked into her mouth and Avery was thankful that he had asked her that before fucking her."Yes," Avery muttered back and once again she was thankful. Thankful that she was on the pill because she was afraid that if she wasn't then Zac would have stopped everything then and there which was the last thing Avery wanted.After she had answered him Zac slid inside of her and Avery moaned once again. His lips soon making their way down to her neck once more.When he began to thrust inside of her Avery let her nails dig into his back. Tilting her head to the side so he could kiss her neck more and she was surprised at how gentle he was being with her.Like somehow he thought she could break but she knew she wouldn't. She had rough sex before and she knew she could take it.But the slowness was a nice break from rough sex so she didn't complain. She just let herself move with Zac, her nails going deeper into his skin as her head eventually fell back into the cushion on the couch."Fuck Zac," she whimpered out as she felt herself getting closer to her orgasm. "Fuck me just a bit harder please," she begged finally. Not being surprised when Zac complied.Though she was surprised at how soon her orgasm hit after he did comply. Her body shuddering some and as he stilled above her she knew he too had came.Her mind wondering then what the hell happened after this as well as hoping maybe she could just forget it. Forget what had happened and forget that Zac knew just how horrible she was.Then again he had fucked her so he was just as bad as she was.*****Taylor who had watched part of the fucking session between his siblings from the glass on the other side of the sound booth sighed as he tucked himself back into his pants after getting off.At least now he knew that Zac had done his part of the bet and soon Taylor would have Avery. Which meant that soon he'd be winning the bet with Zac.Moving to leave as he watched Zac move off Avery, Taylor soon headed outside to the car where his wife sat. He knew he shouldn't have kept her waiting but she'd never question him.Natalie never questioned anything he did. She let him do whatever he wanted in the end as long as he kept her happy as well. Her happiness usually being him having another baby with her whenever she asked to try."I was beginning to worry," Natalie said once Taylor was in the car. "Did you find Avery so you could give her the purse?"Taylor shook his head, "No," he lied as he started the car up. "I left it on the front desks by the door for her though."
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter Two
The next morning after she had showered and gotten dressed Avery headed down the stairs of her parents house. It was the place she had been staying for the last few days and were she'd be staying a couple more until her flight to New York to go and visit Wilson.Just the thought of seeing Wilson again after last night. After making love to her brother, well it made her feel slightly dirty.Making it to the kitchen Avery stopped in her tracks when she saw Taylor seated at the kitchen table. He was one of the last people she wanted to see right now especially since he played a part in her having sex with Zac.If she hadn't saw him with Natalie she would have been fine."Morning Avie," Taylor smiled as he looked up from the coffee mug he held in his hand. The look he was giving her making her almost uncomfortable because it was like he knew.Which Avery knew was absurd because there was no way that Taylor knew anything. It wasn't like it was written on her forehead that she had committed incest last night with Zac.Forcing a smile Avery finally walked to the coffee pot. "Morning yourself," she told him as she soon found a mug and poured herself a cup of coffee. "Didn't expect to see you this early," she told him after her coffee was poured. "I mean with the busy weekend you guys had I expected you would sleep in.""Had some things I promised dad I would help him with," Taylor admitted but Avery heard his voice waver like he was telling her a lie. "I think it's just cutting down some trees."Avery nodded her head as she walked to the table after her coffee mug was full. "I'm sure you'll have fun then," she winced when she sat down.She was a tad bit sore from her time with Zac. She hadn't thought he had been that rough but she guessed he had especially after she had asked him to fuck her harder.That and he had been thicker than Wilson was and he filled her up more."I doubt it," Taylor laughed sarcastically at Avery's words though his laugh died down when she winced. "You okay there Avery?" he asked sounding so innocent as he took a sip of his coffee.But even in his innocence Avery blushed as she nodded her head. "Why wouldn't I be okay?" she asked him telling herself that he hadn't seen her wince when she sat down.Taylor shrugged his shoulders, "Because you winced when you sat down," he said confirming that he had saw when she winced. "Natalie's only ever like that when I fuck her too hard," he revealed and his words made Avery blush even more.As well as spurn on her wild conspiracy that somehow he knew."Gross," Avery laughed before taking a large sip of her coffee. "I really don't need to know about your sex life with Nat," she shivered trying to act disgusted as she did her best to block out images of last night.How she saw them fucking and how Taylor had looked."But if you are implying that I winced because I had sex last night then you are wrong," she lied as she locked eyes with Taylor. "I'm still a virgin," she told him telling another lie and feeling like she could become a pro at telling them. "Or at least that's what I have to let mom and dad believe," she chuckled finally dropping the last lie.Taylor rolled his eyes acting like he was fed up with her but Avery could see through his facade. "If you didn't have sex then why wince?" he questioned and Avery shivered once more when she felt his foot move to graze over her leg gently."Curious minds want to know," he added on with a wink.Blushing again at Taylor's actions and words Avery had to think of a lie. "I guess I pulled a muscle in my legs this weekend," she lied yet again before taking another drink of her coffee. "I mean I was slaving away to your fans every wants and needs," she smiled though in the back of her head she knew she had also taken care of what Zac had wanted and needed.Before Taylor could respond to her though Avery heard the front door open and sounds of little feet followed by big feet. Her head turning as she watched Shepherd run over to her and she caught him just in time to pick him up."Hey buddy," she smiled as she kissed her almost six year old nephews cheek."Sorry I'm late," Kate spoke as she entered the kitchen after Junia and Shepherd. Abe was in the baby carrier on her chest fast asleep and Avery knew when she removed him that he would wake up. Something that she dreaded because Abe would cry.Use his set of lungs that proved he was indeed Zac's son.Looking at Kate as she talked it hit Avery then. She had offered to watch the kids today while Kate went out with Natalie and Nikki for some much needed girl time.Giving Kate a smile Avery couldn't help but feel guilty about sleeping with Zac then. Kate had always been so nice to her even if she was a bitch to some others and Avery had betrayed that niceness in the worst way possible."It's fine," Avery told her as she felt Shepherd's hand reach out for her coffee mug and she moved it out of his grasp. Coffee was the last thing the boy needed when he was hyper enough without caffeine. "I had almost forgot I was watching the munchkins anyway."Taylor who had stayed silent during Avery and Kate's brief conversation stood up as he walked to Kate and removed Abe from his baby carrier. Avery holding a breath when Abe woke up."Hey you little chunker," Taylor cooed as Abe stirred in his arms and he moved him some. "No you don't want to cry chunker baby," he spoke as Abe pulled a face like he was about to cry.Kate laughed as she shook her head at Taylor. Taking the baby carrier off and handing it to Avery who was still sitting at the table."You call my son a chunker again and I will murder you," she joked before turning to leave.Avery waiting until she was gone from the kitchen to stand up but right as she stood up and put Shepherd down Kate chose then to holler out from where she probably stood at the front door."You do remember, Zac is picking up the kids at the park. He is going to be out running errands anyway."Avery nodded her head though Kate couldn't see her. "Yeah, I remember," she called out though it had slipped her mind too.Hearing Kate shut the door Avery only sighed as she looked over at Taylor who held Abe. Shaking her head at him she bent down briefly to Shepherd's height coaxing him into finding Junia who had ran off, more than likely to the playroom."You're a good liar," Taylor told her after Shepherd left the kitchen. "Telling Kate you remembered Zac was supposed to pick the kids up at the park when you didn't even remember having to watch them," he teased as he stepped closer to where Avery was standing.Shooting him a fake glare Avery took Abe from his arms. "Shut up," she told him sarcastically biting her lip as their skin touched.Doing her best to deny to herself that she didn't feel anything as it happened but there was no use. She could never lie to herself."I have to go find something to do today with three kids who just happen to take after their father," she sighed before moving to turn away from Taylor.Glad that she had a chance to leave. If she stayed he probably would have pried the truth about what happened last night from her. Then he really would know and it wouldn't just be a conspiracy in her head.That or maybe she'd blab about her own sick crush on him. Since having sex with Zac last night meant she was brave or so she was telling herself.*****Hours later or what in Avery's opinion felt like days really after watching three kids on her own, she finally relaxed as she sat on the park bench. Abe tucked into her chest in his baby carrier and Junia and Shepherd were getting some of their energy off by playing in the park as they all seemed to be waiting on Zac.Her brother who was late as usual."Daddy should be here soon," Avery spoke to Abe who was sleeping and couldn't hear her. "Then after he picks you up I think he is taking you guys to the drive in," she continued knowing that Abe couldn't hear her.After she spoke to Abe though she saw a familiar blue truck out of the corner of her eye and when she turned her head a smile appeared on her lips as she watched Zac park his car into a parking space. Getting out of his truck and heading her way.But despite her smile she was nervous being around him after last night. Afraid things would be awkward."Sorry for running late," Zac apologized as he sat down beside Avery on the bench. His eyes automatically going to his sleeping child. "I kind of got held up in traffic."Laughing Avery shook her head at Zac's words. "You're such a bad liar," she told him. "You probably went home and played video games after you ran your errands for Kate. You lost track of time plain and simple," she teased him hoping if she did she could keep things from getting awkward between them.Zac blushed at Avery's words. "Busted," he spoke sounding like he had actually done that. Maybe he had. "I think you and Kare are the only ones who can see through my lies.""It's years of living with you," Avery shrugged when he finally looked at her and they locked eyes. A nervous feeling forming in her stomach and she had to remind herself he was her brother.Things were okay and nothing had been meant by their sex. No one had to know.Hell they had survived her masturbating beside him once they could get through this too."Maybe," Zac spoke yet Avery knew he was still refusing to admit that she was right. "You mind taking him to my truck while I round up the other two?" he asked as he stood from the bench. "I just figured it'd be easier with help."Avery watched as Zac flashed her a crooked smile after he asked her that and she stood up. Knowing she couldn't tell him no when he used that smile."I can do that but good luck getting the other two," she told him as she turned to leave. Not even feeling sorry that he had to get Shepherd and Junia.They had been thrilled to come to the park and she knew they would probably put up a bit of a fuss when leaving.Making it to Zac's car Avery was relieved to see that Abe's car seat was right at one of the doors in the back instead of in the middle seat.Opening the door Avery stepped up into the truck as she slowly took Abe out of the carrier and put him into the carseat. Thankful when he didn't wake a bit at all from being moved.Once Abe was in the carseat and snug Avery got out of the truck and shut the door. Seeing Zac walking towards his truck now with Junia on his hip and Shepherd trailing behind."Aunt Avie," Junia squealed when Zac reached the opposite side of the truck. "Can you come with us to the movies?" she asked as Zac opened the door.Avery paused at Junia's question. She hadn't thought of going to the drive-in with them but she also knew she couldn't turn down her niece.Chewing on her lip she looked at Zac for help, not wanting to intrude on his alone time with his children. Something he rarely got even when home.Zac looked at Avery as he helped the kids get in the back. "It's your choice," he told her not helping her at all. "And it would be nice to have another set of hands to help if they get rowdy," he smirked and goddamn it Avery knew she'd crumble."Fine, I'll come then," Avery nodded smiling as she walked to the passenger side of his truck and got in. "But you're going to have to bring me to get my car after.""I can do that," Zac spoke after the kids were in and he shut the back door. Soon coming around and getting in the driver's seat.After he was in he started the truck and headed towards the drive-in.*****Rolling his eyes Zac looked down at his phone after having gotten a text from Kate in the middle of the movie. A text informing him that she'd be home tomorrow.Apparently Nikki and Natalie had wanted to go out drinking and both women had gotten a little too drink. They had even somehow convinced Kate to drink and she was too plastered to drive.Something Zac couldn't believe because his wife rarely drank. Hadn't since he knew her actually."You okay?" Avery asked from where she sat beside Zac. Which was in the backseat of his truck because they had let Junia and Shepherd take the front seats as the movie began.That and Zac wanted to be closer to Abe if he woke up and got fussy."I mean you're kind of death glaring your phone," Avery continued in his silence.Looking up at Avery, Zac cut his cell phone off. "I'm fine," he lied as he stuffed his phone into the pocket of his jeans. "I just want to go sit in the back of my truck for a while so can you move?" he asked eyeing her curiously.Avery nodded her head before opening the door of the truck. Zac stepping out once she had and he headed to the back where he let down the tailgate.Feeling Avery's presence as she followed behind him and he almost wished she hadn't. Wasn't sure how he'd take being alone with her."What's bothering you?" she asked him after they both sat down on the tailgate and he could hear genuine concern in her voice.Like she really wanted to know what was on his troubled mind.Looking over at his sister Zac ran a hand through his hair, "Kate's drunk and can't come home until tomorrow so I have the three kids to myself," he told her knowing he probably sounded selfish.Maybe he was."That is a ridiculous thing to be mad over," Avery informed him of what he already knew as she moved closer. "Kate's allowed to have fun. I mean you did yesterday," she told him and Zac knew she wasn't just referring to the sex.She had meant his drinking too. Must have tasted or smelled it on him."And Kate would kill me if she knew," Zac sighed referring to both things which made Avery look down and he knew then she had only meant his drinking.She hadn't meant the sex and now he felt awful for bringing it up."I'm sorry about..." Avery started but stopped as she shook her head. "It shouldn't have happened," she finally spoke as she looked back up at him, looking genuinely sorry like she blamed herself.Which made Zac feel guilty because it was his and Taylor's fault.Making a face Zac just chewed on his lip again. Knowing that she was right and it shouldn't have happened but a sick part of him had liked it which made him feel awful.Without even thinking Zac let himself inch closer to her as he soon let his lips latch onto hers in a kiss.It was a risk kissing her in such a public place but the moment their lips touched he didn't really care about risks.

Chapter Three
Feeling Zac kissing her Avery was frozen in place as she felt nervous tingles in her stomach. She wasn't used to getting them around Zac not even after masturbating beside him once or thinking of him when getting off during sex but after actually having sex with him yesterday, well, it seemed that things had changed.Things had changed and she wasn't even sure why.Coming to her senses she finally pushed Zac away as she gave him a confused look. "We can't do that," she hissed out as she shook her head. "For a lot of reasons. What if someone saw?" she asked making a face at the thought of that.They were at a drive-in for god's sake. Anyone they knew could be here and see them kissing like that.If anyone found out everything they knew could be ruined. His marriage, the band's reputation, their family."You should really fucking think," she scolded him feeling angry now. Almost wanting to punch him in the nose or the jaw though the last thing he needed in his lifetime was another broken nose."I never think things through," Zac told her looking half amused and she knew he wasn't phased at her anger. "I mean if I thought things through I wouldn't have had sex with you yesterday," he sighed before looking at her. The way he was looking at her making her feel vulnerable. "I wouldn't have liked it."When Zac admitted that he liked having sex with her she closed her eyes. "You shouldn't have liked it," she whispered as she felt his body move closer to hers again. Her heartbeat getting faster as his hand rested on the material of the skirt she had chosen to wear today.Who the hell did he think he was getting a free pass to touch her body like he now owned it?"But I did," Zac whispered as his hand stayed on her skirt. "I liked it a lot," he spoke as his head moved closer to hers until he rested his forehead against the side of her head. "You can't tell me you didn't either," he whispered into her ear as his hand slowly went down her skirt until it came to rest on her bare thighs.Avery swallowed at Zac's words knowing he was being bold. He wasn't usually like this and she wondered what had caused this side of Zac because it wasn't alcohol like it had been last night.Maybe it was his anger at Kate or maybe it was her getting angry at him but something had turned him on and made him bold.Keeping her eyes closed as his hand landed on her bare skin now, Avery felt her breath hitch in her throat. "I did like it," she confirmed with a nod of her head. "I liked it but that doesn't make it any less wrong," she spoke as she opened her eyes.Feeling a shiver run down her spine as his breath kept hitting her neck."But wrong feels so good," Zac told her as he let his hand inch higher up her skirt. Feeling her legs part of their own will.An act that allowed Zac's hand to slip between them, rubbing her through her panties."I just want to play with you," he whispered seductively putting an emphasis on the word play.Avery couldn't help but moan softly as Zac rubbed her through her panties. She was cursing herself for liking this. She was cursing herself for getting turned on."Play with me how?" Avery asked surprised she could even talk and feeling bit dumb for asking that question because in the end she was pretty sure what he had meant.Especially if his current actions were any indication to go on.Laughing Zac let his lips move to her neck. "I think you know how," he whispered on her skin as he pushed her panties aside, letting one of his fingers slip inside of her.A blush creeping onto Avery's cheeks when Zac did that because now he knew how wet she was. How turned on he was making her."Do thoughts of Taylor make you this wet?" Zac asked letting his finger work inside of her.Avery swallowed hard as Zac's finger went inside of her and she moaned again trying to ignore the fact that they were on the tailgate of his truck. Forget that he was fingering her here in public. He was fingering her and asking about Taylor and she could kill him if he wasn't making her feel so goddamn good."N..no," she finally muttered out as she shook her head some. She had never gotten this wet when she thought of Taylor but honestly she had never really thought of Taylor much sexually even with her crush on him.But she wasn't about to tell Zac that because that would mean admitting it was usually Zac she thought of.All she was knew was until yesterday her life had been fine and nothing was that twisted and now well Zac was ruining the fine she was comfortable with.Zac seemed to move his finger faster at her words. Like somehow he liked knowing that she never got this wet with thoughts of Taylor."You're beautiful," Zac told her before kissing her neck as he added a second finger inside of her. "I wish we were somewhere more private so that I could get you as naked as I had you last night."Blushing at Zac's words Avery shivered again as he kissed her neck. "I wish you didn't have just your fingers inside of me," she confessed keeping her voice soft so that only he could hear.Her words were true too she wished that his dick was inside of her. Though his rough calloused fingers didn't feel too bad either.Not when he was hitting some really good spots with them."Is that so?" Zac muttered onto her skin leaving tiny kisses as his lips moved to every inch he could reach it seemed."Mhmm," Avery nodded as she felt herself getting closer to her orgasm. His finger keeping the same rhythm they had been using since he started this. "I wish I had your cock inside of me. I wish it was what was going to make me come," she told him feeling dirty at the words coming out of her mouth.She had never been so bold in her words or saying what she had wanted.Closing her eyes as she felt her orgasm hit Avery muttered his name out a few times feeling even more dirty. She wasn't sure that she was okay with Zac making her orgasm two nights in a row now.She wasn't sure if she was okay with anything that was happening between them.After she came Zac slipped his fingers out of her. Bringing them to her lips. "Clean them off," he told her his voice coming out demanding and Avery was a bit surprised by the tone and his words but she obeyed him.Opening her eyes she slowly took his fingers into her mouth and sucked on them softly, having never done this before but she kind of liked it. Liked tasting herself on his fingers.Once she had finished sucking his fingers Avery removed them from her mouth before getting off the tailgate of his truck."We should get inside before Shep decides to use his brain and realize we're gone," she laughed before shaking her head.Avery knew Shepherd was a mini Zac but sometimes just sometimes he did have Kate's brains.Laughing Zac got down from the tailgate too. "You know," he smirked as he looked over at her as he put the tailgate back up. "Maybe you should stay with me tonight," he said as he reached out to her, bringing her closer to him again. "You do need to help me get rid of a certain problem that fingering you created," he finished as he kissed her briefly.Soon pulling away and looking at her expectantly.Sighing Avery knew she shouldn't agree but well maybe she felt like setting herself up for danger. "O...okay," she agreed. "I will stay with you tonight."*****Later that night Avery nervously stepped out of the shower at Zac and Kate's house. She had asked to use it not long after they got the kids to bed and Zac had let her. Even letting her borrow some pajamas that belonged to Kate when she had been pregnant.They both knew none of her regular ones would fit Avery. Kate was just too tiny for Avery to fit into her clothes.Reaching for a towel she dried off fast and slipped the clothes on. Looking down at them she sighed because she wasn't even sure why she had agreed to come.This thing with Zac should have just been one time. One time in which they got each other off after seeing Taylor and Natalie together. Yet now it was escalating faster than she liked."Fuck," she muttered to herself. She knew she had to stop this and maybe she could. Maybe she could get herself to not help Zac with his problem.She could tell him no and listen to her brain when it told her how twisted this was. It was much worse than her simple crush on Taylor or her using Zac to get off when having sex with others. It was actually committing the act of incest with her brother.She was committing a fucking sin and she had a first class ticket to hell now.Taking a deep breath Avery left the bathroom, finding Zac in the room he shared with his wife. He was clad only in his boxers and the moment he laid eyes on her Avery had to laugh at the guilty look on his face."You look like you just got busted watching porn," she teased him as she soon slipped in the bed beside him.She couldn't deny that it felt weird to lay with Zac in the bed he shared with Kate."You kind of sort of almost did catch me watching porn on my phone," Zac admitted as he blushed at Avery's words. "You were taking too long in the shower and I couldn't wait to get off."Laughing at Zac's confession Avery felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. At least now she didn't have to tell him no but if she were being honest with herself after seeing him in just his boxers she wouldn't have said no at all.She would have gotten him off."You are too horny for your own good," Avery told him once she had stopped laughing. "I mean you couldn't wait for me to finish a shower?"Watching Zac blush Avery allowed him to pull her closer to him. "I know," he whined softly. "That's probably why I've cheated on my wife with three different women now."Hearing him Avery raised an eyebrow not even sure why she was shocked. She should have known he had cheated with how easy this all seemed to be for Zac but well he seemed happy with Kate at times.He seemed like the perfect husband until all this between them."Who else have you cheated with?" she asked curiously wanting to know the details. Feeling like she deserved them especially since she had let him inside of her without protection."One was an old girlfriend. She came to Tulsa not longer after Shepherd was born," Zac told her and he smiled sadly. Like the thought of this girl hurt him. "Her name was Amberlyn and we kind of ran into each other again at some coffeeshop. Things happened from there after we exchanged numbers."Hearing the name Avery flashbacked to the night on the bus. The girl he had been texting was Amberlyn and now some things made sense."Did you love her?" she asked curiously watching as Zac nodded his head."I fell so hard and fast for Amberlyn when I had her again. She was always there for me during my shit with Kate. Listened to me rant about Kate's fucking pissy attitude. Her treating me like a child. Amberlyn was perfect and she taught me so much about myself our second time together. She helped me grow into a good father too," Zac told her and Avery could tell just how much he did love the girl."So why did it end?" Avery wondered out loud. "If you loved her why did it end?"Zac frowned before speaking again. "She was getting married to another man. I knew it when it all started but I did it anyway. Set myself up for disappointment," he shrugged as he looked away from Avery. "The second woman was Dora. A lady who went to church with Kate and I. I knew it was wrong but we started to get closer after I fixed her plumbing," he admitted smiling once more. "I loved her too but I don't think I was in love with her like I was in love with Amberlyn."Avery frowned as Zac talked, "Kate's really that bad?" she asked not having realized she was. She seemed to put on a good front."I don't think it's that she's that bad," Zac answered as he closed his eyes. "It's that she treats me like her child instead of her husband. I just want someone to treat me like an equal."Falling silent Avery knew she understood his words but she didn't know how to convey them so instead she said nothing. Letting her eyes fall shut before soon drifting off to sleep in Zac's arms.

Chapter Four
Waking the next morning Avery opened her eyes as she looked at Zac sleeping silently beside her. Knew she needed to wake him so that he could get ready and they could pick up her car after or before Kate came home but she didn't have the heart to do that.Not when he looked so peaceful sleeping. So she let him sleep more. Figuring that maybe he could use the sleep.God knew how little he probably did get with long nights at the studio and then coming home to three children. All of them taking after him when it came to temperament.Then again he almost deserved it for the hell he put their parents through or so that was her thinking anyway.Letting out a sigh as she just watched Zac sleep, Avery moved closer to him in the bed. A blush appearing on her cheeks when she felt his erection against her pajama clad thigh.A tiny part of her brain telling her that before she left she'd be having sex with Zac again. To help him relieve the problem he had developed during the night. Though an even bigger part of her brain was telling her to turn him down. What they were doing was wrong, regardless of however many times she had thought of it with Taylor or had to envision it with Zac just to get off when having sex with other men.But even if it was wrong it felt right. It felt good and it was consensual.Yet Avery knew that wouldn't matter in the court of law. If the wrong people found out they'd very well get in trouble and she didn't want that. So she knew she should turn him down.Even if her vagina had other ideas."I can feel you staring," Zac muttered out all soft and sleepy sounding. His eyes opening and Avery forced a smile as she looked at him. "Am I that cute when I sleep?"Laughing Avery shook her head. "No, but you definitely have an ego the size of Taylor this morning.""We're all allowed that some mornings. God knows Taylor hogs it all to himself most days."Again Avery laughed as she chewed on her lip. "Whatever you say Zachary. I'm kind of glad you're awake now anyway. I have to go get my car soon before it's towed or some shit and the last thing I want is to pay money to get it back.""And to go get it you need me up and dressed," Zac stated with a pout as he moved into her and once again Avery could feel his erection but this time it was deliberate.It was him letting her know that he was hard and that he wanted her. Her vagina very much still wanting him even as her brain said no."Zac," she hissed out with a shake of her head. "We can't.""Why can't we Avery?" Zac questioned like he didn't know the million reasons why they couldn't. She knew he knew but just like he had Taylor's ego it seemed he had his stubbornness too or maybe that was just all Zac and Taylor sometimes borrowed it.Avery hating that her brain was filled with both brothers who had twisted her head for years. It was too early for that and she didn't even have coffee in her system.When Avery didn't answer right away she watched as Zac finally moved away from her. Slipping out of bed though once he was out he looked down at her intently. With a weird hunger in his eyes.One she hadn't been used too from him but one she was growing accustomed too in the last several days."I'll be in the shower if you change your mind," Zac spoke before turning away from her and Avery stayed in the bed. Sitting up when she heard the water start and after it had she felt her lust for him growing again.Feeling torn between her brain and her vagina as she eyed the bathroom that was attached to the bedroom he shared with Kate.*****Standing under the water in the shower Zac let out a small sigh as he let his hand slip around his aching cock. Knowing Avery probably wouldn't join him even if he wanted her too.He knew deep down she was right. They couldn't keep doing this whatever the fuck it was they were doing.After all it was only meant to be one time but he had to go and fuck that up last night because he was pissed at Kate and lonely and she was there.The girl who sometimes haunted his mind after that time in the tour bus. The girl who had been the reason why he truly lost Dora and god she was like some forbidden apple.An apple that he kept wanting a taste of despite the bet he had with Taylor.Knew if Taylor found out about this he'd be livid. Probably even try to fulfill his part of it even faster. A funny feeling forming in Zac's stomach and chest. Not wanting to even think of Taylor being with Avery like he was.Which again was equally as wrong as what he was doing. He wasn't allowed to be jealous over who Avery fucked. He had no right to be jealous if Taylor got what he wanted which was Avery and she fucked two of her brothers.Avery wasn't his and it was that thought alone that spurned him as he began to stroke his cock. His mind imagining if she was his though.What it would be like if she could be his.He was oh so close when he heard the shower curtain open. His eyes shooting open as he paused his hand movements, watching as Avery stepped in the shower. His teeth sinking into his lip at the sight of her naked body and his cock twitching in his hand.Before he could say anything to her though she was dropping to her knees in front of him. Her hand moving his away as she began to stroke him just a few times herself before letting her mouth wrap around his cock.Zac's head falling back at the warm hot wetness that was her mouth which felt perfect around him. Nothing but moans coming out of him because of how good it felt.How good his own sister's mouth felt as she sucked him off in the shower. Moving his head back up he looked down at her as he let his hand go down to tangle in her hair. Watching as she looked up at him after that. Their eyes locking and he just smirked at her."You're doing so good," he muttered out giving her all the praise that he knew to give her. "You're so fucking good at sucking your big brother off Avie," he sighed as he began to move his hips slightly in time with the way she was moving her mouth.Not wanting to fuck her mouth right now. Thoughts of later when they had more time going around in his brain.Even if he knew there should be no later. That she had been right in the bedroom yet even despite what she had said in his bedroom she had joined him in the shower and was now on her knees sucking his cock like a damn pro.Feeling his stomach start to clench Zac bit his lip knowing he was close. Knowing he should warn Avery but right as that thought crossed his mind he was coming. His hips stilling as he found a way to hold Avery in place by her hair at least until he was finished.Only removing his hand after he was done and when she moved away he looked at her sheepishly. Hating that tiny glare he saw in her eyes. Feeling almost afraid that she'd call him on making her swallow but she didn't.Instead she just stood up and shook her head, stepping out of the shower quicker than Zac would have liked but he knew he didn't have time to think too much on it.He really did need to finish his shower and get out. Needed to get Avery to her car and begin his day.Afraid of being late to the studio and having to deal with Taylor's wrath. Not even sure if he could face Taylor after another day of messing around with Avery.Yesterday had been hard enough but then again it wasn't like Taylor knew about what happened last night and this morning. So maybe he'd be good in facing Taylor.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter Five
Arriving at the park where they had left Avery's car, Zac parked his truck as he turned to his sister. A girl that he was almost reluctant to let leave him. Especially when she had mentioned over breakfast once Kate had arrived back home that she was heading off to New York in a day or two.Was supposed to go and see Wilson and work on things with him. At least more than they had worked on things at Easter when he had been in visiting her."You're really going to New York to try to make it work with Wilson?" Zac asked her hating the jealous tone in his voice.He had no right to be jealous, not when Avery was supposed to have been nothing more than a fuck in a sick twisted bet he had with Taylor.A bet Taylor hadn't even got his turn in and Zac once again hated that he was jealous over Taylor getting a turn on his part of the bet.Avery wasn't his and they weren't even supposed to still be fooling around. But the truth was they were playing with fire and she had been on his mind more than she should have for years now.Dora even suggesting that maybe Avery was her replacement after he had called her name while fucking the other woman. But Dora hadn't known their relation or that the name slip had been a product of him using the memory of his sister touching herself beside him in the back of the tour bus while she thought he was asleep.Proving that maybe they had been playing with fire for awhile now. Maybe they were destined to be in the situation and Taylor's bet was the catalyst of that.Avery nodded her head as she looked at Zac curiously, "Do you have a problem with that?" "No," Zac lied as he looked right at her. "I guess I'm just not sure this is going to work out how you want it too. I mean you broke up for a reason obviously. Is it best to try to mend old fences?""I think it is," Avery answered him like she was offended by what he said. Which was the last thing Zac wanted to do.He didn't want to offend the one person who really understood him right now. The one person who was going down a twisted and dark path with him willingly.Would probably stop if she got back with Wilson which was maybe the biggest reason he didn't want her to get back with her ex.Though she'd probably also pull away if she knew about the bet as well....or if she slept with Taylor finally. Because in the end Taylor was the brother she wanted. Taylor was the one she had the weird incest kink for.A kink Zac hadn't even realized he fully had until after having sex with Avery. Even if he had said her name with Dora."If you think it is then I guess pursue it and try to fix that relationship," Zac sighed though he didn't mean his words. "Have fun in New York."Avery only looked at him as she shook her head, "You're such an awful liar," she stated as she unbuckled her seat belt. "But I'll have the time of my life in New York and I'll call you and flaunt it to you as well," she added on though Zac knew from her tone she was teasing him.She was being a little shit, much like he usually was or even like Taylor could be. Maybe Avery had learned the worst parts of him and Taylor throughout the years and molded that into herself in ways."Fuck you," Zac told her teasingly watching as she laughed before shaking her head and finally leaving his truck. Zac waiting until she was safe in her car to take off and drive to the studio.A part of him still dreading facing Taylor after everything that had happened. Knew he may cave and admit he'd done more with Avery than he was supposed too. Which was information Taylor didn't need because he'd use that against Zac somehow.*****Zac turned in his chair to look at Taylor after Isaac left to get them all lunch. Zac raising an eyebrow because he knew from the way Taylor had been eyeing him that he wanted to say something. Knew that Taylor needed to say something."Will you just say what's on your mind already," Zac started which made Taylor look at him again for what felt like the hundredth time today.Zac hoping that somehow Isaac hadn't noticed either because the last thing they needed was a curious older brother. Not sure how they'd lie to him, but Zac knew they would.Taylor was good at lying and coming up with lies."Just wondering how it was for you to fuck Avery," Taylor spoke finally his words making Zac blush. "Wondering if it was as good as it looked when I caught the end of it," he continued and his words only made Zac's blush grow.As well as made him feel dirty knowing Taylor had watched. Probably had made him get off in some ways too even if he had just finished fucking Natalie before seeing Avery and Zac in the act."It was a bit weird," Zac confessed because at first it had been weird. Though the weirdest part was he hadn't been that disgusted by it. Not as disgusted as he should have been. Not as disgusted as any normal sane person would have been. Zac wasn't sane though, no one in the Hanson family truly was it felt like."It didn't look too weird from what I saw," Taylor spoke and his words made Zac blush even more. "Looked like you liked it too."Shaking his head Zac chewed on his lip, to keep from retorting something too sarcastic. The last thing he wanted was to argue with Taylor right now, even if Taylor had it coming if he snapped.Taylor bless his heart just did not know when to stop sometimes."You did like it didn't you Zachary?" Taylor questioned in his silence and Zac rolled his eyes.Of course Taylor wasn't going to drop the issue. Did he ever drop things that weren't good for him?"I'm a man Taylor," Zac finally answered not sure if his words or facial expressions would give him away. "Of course I liked it but it still doesn't take away the weird factor of what we did. It didn't erase the fact that I was having sex with my own sister because of some stupid bet with you."Taylor shrugged like Zac's words didn't affect him and if Zac was honest they probably didn't. Taylor had a thick skin after all, was able to take criticism better than anyone Zac knew."Guess I'll have to see for myself when I have sex with her," Taylor boasted proudly. "Which I plan too once she gets back from New York.""Well good luck with that then Tay," Zac said as he snapped slightly, standing from his desk and leaving Taylor alone because what he needed was to go outside and get air.He just needed to be away from Taylor before he did something he regretted. Especially since the thoughts of Taylor and Avery did make him jealous. Much more jealous than the thoughts of Avery with her ex.Which again Zac knew he had no right to be jealous. He really had no fucking right and he hated himself for that."Fuck Taylor," Zac muttered under his breath once he made it outside. "Just fuck Taylor."
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter Six
Biting her lip as she stood in front of her suitcase the next day Avery hated that she was having second thoughts. That somehow she was thinking back to yesterday with Zac and his questioning of her trying to make things work with Wilson.There had been a reason they broke up. She had been more invested in her fantasies of Taylor than a relationship with him and Wilson well he had been a tad bit controlling.More so than she liked especially when she was secretly lusting after her own brother.She was still lusting after that brother or at least she thought she was. It was hard to lust after him when the past few days she had been messing around with Zac.That thought also making her think that maybe it wasn't a good idea to try to get back with Wilson. After all she wasn't even sure if she and Zac were through. Avery had no clue if what happened while Kate was out the night before was the end of the brief lapse of judgement her and Zac seemed to have or not.If she were being honest with herself she didn't think it was the end. Somehow what happened this weekend felt like the beginning of something.What that something was she wasn't sure but it did feel like the beginning. Which was why maybe she wanted to lie to herself. She didn't want to be honest.So with that thought in mind Avery started to pack again. Throwing things into her bag quickly without even looking or paying attention to what she packed. Hoping and praying that she packed stuff that matched at least.*****After she was done packing Avery made her way downstairs not even surprised to find one of her older brothers in her kitchen. It always seemed that one of the siblings who left home tended to come over even on nights that weren't designated family dinner nights."Thought I'd seen the last of you until I left for New York," Avery teased as she looked at Zac when he looked up, hearing her footsteps in the kitchen.Zac blushed before looking away from her. "Yeah well mom texted and said she had made spaghetti for dinner and you know me. I can never turn that down," he said, showing her the plate he had just made for himself."And Kate won't mind that you're skipping dinner at home?" Avery questioned with a raised eyebrow."She's fixed something with kale in it tonight. It's always a given with her that when she fixes kale I eat something else."Avery let out a small laugh at Zac's admission, "She probably made the kale for you. Isn't she on a mission to make sure you eat right?" she asked knowing she had heard her sister-in-law talk of wanting to make sure Zac ate enough vegetables and other healthy stuff to counteract all the sugary stuff he ate as well."Maybe so but she knows how it goes, she's used to it," Zac said, sounding sure in his words. Avery guessed if he was sure then everything was okay.Heaving a sigh she went to get her own plate down to fix herself a plate. She had been too busy packing to even eat when her parents and Zoe had."I hope you don't mind if I eat with you," Avery said after her plate was full and she moved to sit at the table where Zac now was. "I was too busy packing earlier to eat."Zac shook his head in answer to what she said, his mouth still full of food. Avery guessed swallowing his food was a good reason for him not verbally answering her. It wasn't like she wanted to see his food half eaten."So, you're still going to New York?" Zac spoke after he had swallowed his food."Yeah," Avery answered with a nod of her head. "Why would I change my mind?" she questioned hoping that somehow it didn't show that earlier she had her doubts."Because of our talk in the truck. I meant what I said when I asked you why you'd try again when there was a reason it failed before. Don't you want to be happy in a relationship?"Taking a bite of her food Avery rolled her eyes at Zac's words. "I could ask you the same," Avery shot back after swallowing the food she had in her mouth. "I mean there is a reason why you've cheated on Kate," she said her voice going low in case anyone who shouldn't be listening was.Zac seemed to blush at her words and Avery knew she was getting under his skin which was what she wanted. She wanted to get under his skin like he was getting under hers."What I want doesn't matter," Zac told her and Avery hated that his words hurt her.What had ever made her older brother decide that it didn't matter what he wanted? That it didn't matter if he was happy."So it doesn't matter if you get to be happy?" Avery asked him as she frowned after she had spoken. Her hurt for her brother growing even deeper."It's never mattered what I have wanted," Zac sighed as he finished off his food. "No one ever asks me or cares what I want so I don't care much either.""And when did that thinking start?" Avery questioned as she too finished her food."Long before I even met Kate," Zac answered and she knew from his tone that he was being honest.Frowning more, Avery wasn't even sure what to say to that. What was there to say besides sorry and that sounded wrong or not enough if she were being honest."So, you've been settling all your life?" Avery finally spoke again and she hated that she was asking another question. "Did you ever even love Kate?"After she had asked that Avery felt like laughing because of course that was obvious. Zac had never loved Kate and for some reason maybe that stopped some of the guilt she felt for what was going on between her and Zac.Just some of the guilt..not all of it.Zac sighed loudly and Avery wondered if he was about to answer her or if he was thinking over her question. Something that she knew he shouldn't have to do if he had really ever loved his wife.If you loved someone you didn't have to think about it."I thought I did at one point when I was a teenager.""And now you know you don't love her?" Avery questioned but it sounded like more of a statement than a question.Instead of answering her verbally Zac only nodded his head confirming what she knew inside. He had never been in love with Kate and obviously in the end that was why he wanted different for her.He didn't want her to end up like him and marry Wilson knowing or realizing one day she never had loved him."I'll think about going to New York," Avery finally conceded knowing that maybe she could give Zac that. She could tell him she'd reconsider trying to work things through with Wilson.After all they had broken up for a reason and it had to be good right?"That's all I can ask you to do," Zac spoke as he gave her a smile and the relief on his face was enough that Avery felt content in doing what she did.She was certain that she could at least reconsider things.Though in the end she wasn't sure it would change her mind. Maybe what she needed was to just learn from her mistake if she did go and get back with Wilson.Hopefully the learning would happen long before she married him.

Chapter Seven
Taking several deep breaths, Avery looked at her reflection in the mirror as she frowned at it. Three days had passed since Zac had come by her parents house to talk her out of coming to New York and seeing Wilson.Of course she hadn't listened. It should have been a given that she wouldn't because she had hoped they could make it work.In fact Avery had been so fucking sure things were going well. She and Wilson had been having a good two days together, going out on dates both nights she'd been here and hell this afternoon he'd also taken her on a picnic before their date.But of course all good things get ruined or maybe it was that Avery ruined all fun things.She had definitely been the one to ruin the good that was happening between her and Wilson. She'd ruined it worse than she ever could have really imagined."So fucking stupid," Avery whispered to herself as she shook her head. "What you did tonight was because of the result of fucking your brother," she hissed at her own reflection.After she had spoken to herself she closed her eyes as she remembered what she'd done. How in the middle of her orgasm she'd moaned out Zac's name. Something that had been made easier thanks to the fact that she'd had her eyes closed and was picturing Zac.She'd been picturing the time they had sex and the time he'd fingered her in the back of his truck at the drive in and somehow that had lead to his name falling from her lips as she came.It was after everything was done and they were both dressed that things got awkward. Wilson not even confronting her about the fact that she'd said her brother's name though maybe there was some hope he'd just think she happened to know a guy who happened to share her brother's name.Maybe his mind wouldn't go there but either way she didn't know where his mind had gone because he'd looked at her silently with so much hate before walking out of the bedroom and leaving the apartment.That had been two hours ago and in those two hours Avery had retreated to the bathroom to take a shower and she was still in the bathroom, hiding out in an empty apartment because she was ashamed of herself.She was ashamed that she'd liked the thoughts she'd had of Zac and she was ashamed that nothing had changed. She was still using thoughts of him to get off during sex with her boyfriend.Though at least now those thoughts had actual real life experiences added to them and not just fantasies. Wishes of what she'd imagined could have went down if he'd reached over and touched her that night on the tour bus.A night she tried to forget and one that seemed to be forever engrained inside of her brain. Much like the moment she'd walked in on Taylor jerking off.She'd always thought it was Taylor she was lusting after because of the fact that the moment stayed with her, the want of wondering what it'd be like with him sexually but it was never him that got her off.It was never truly thoughts of him. It had always been Zac and it seemed she'd just now realized that.Which was another reason she was ashamed. She did indeed want one of her brothers, the one she was currently getting to have but it was wrong and hell now that she'd actually came here to New York she doubted he'd want her again.He'd asked her not to come and she'd came. He was probably mad at her and Avery knew how Zac was when he was mad. That usual Hanson temper came through and he could hold a grudge for a while. If he was mad at her, he'd be holding a grudge."Damn it," she muttered to herself before leaving the bathroom and walking down the hall to the living room, not even surprised to find that Wilson was still gone.Avery half expected Wilson would stay gone until she left and she planned to leave first thing tomorrow. Before she went to sleep tonight she'd text him and tell him. Let him know he could come back then once she was gone.Before she could make it to sit on the couch though Avery raised an eyebrow as she heard a knock on the apartment door.Looking at the time she saw it was a little after midnight and she wondered who the hell would be knocking now. It wasn't Wilson because he had his own keys.Or maybe it was him. Maybe he was knocking instead of just coming in, because of how awkward Avery had made things between them.When the knock sounded a second time, Avery let out a small sigh. "I'm coming," she called out as she walked towards the door, not even looking through the peephole.With the way her night was going, she'd just rather take the surprises as they came. After all, could the night truly get any worse?Though when she opened the door, Avery saw that indeed the night could get worse, because there standing at her door was Zac.It was as if her saying his name as she orgasmed during sex with Wilson had somehow made him materialize here in New York.Or maybe her thoughts of him after the fact had done it. She'd thought of him too much and now here he was on her doorstep, a sheepish smile playing on his lips."Zac," she stated, her surprise clear in her voice just like she was sure it was clear on her face too."Surprise," Zac spoke as he kept his sheepish smile."It sure is a surprise," Avery said as she moved slightly so he could come inside. Though she felt having him here was playing with fire."A good surprise?" Zac questioned as he stepped into her apartment and Avery sighed because how did she answer that?How did she tell him that she wasn't sure if it was a good surprise or not? How did she tell him he was the last person she really wanted to see right now?The answers to those all required her to tell him about what had happened with Wilson and she was almost too embarrassed to do so."Maybe," Avery said knowing that, that answer would only make him inquire on what she meant. It would only mean more digging until Avery told him the truth.Until Avery had to confess that she'd blurted out his name during sex with the boyfriend she was trying to get back together with.A boyfriend that Avery realized maybe she shouldn't get back together with. Maybe Zac had been right and there was a reason the relationship hadn't worked out."Maybe it's a good surprise?" Zac asked, clearly amused by her answer and Avery just sighed softly as she shut the door to the apartment before walking to the couch and sitting down.Avery silently nodded her head as she watched Zac sit down beside her and the amusement that had been in his tone slowly showed on his face."And why just maybe?" he asked in her silence as his brown eyes locked with hers."Because I said your name when I was having sex with Wilson," Avery admitted, her voice going soft but not soft enough that Zac couldn't hear her. "I said your name and then he left after and it just...it made things worse and now here you are," she said with a shrug.She knew she was babbling and rambling on but she couldn't help it. It was a nervous tick."You said my name while having sex with your boyfriend?" Zac questioned with a raised eyebrow and Avery nodded as she looked away from his gaze hating the way it unsettled her.Hell, she hated the way his presence here in the apartment right now unsettled her and in the end it was all her fault. If she hadn't said his name during sex then his presence alone wouldn't bother her.She wouldn't be on edge wondering what he was thinking or even worrying about what would happen if Wilson came home and found Zac here in the apartment."I did," Avery confirmed with a nod of her head as she felt a ball of nerves form in her stomach. Hoping to god that during their brief time apart Zac hadn't grown morals but also scared that maybe he had.Scared that this would make him look differently at her.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter Eight
Zac couldn't help the smirk at Avery's confirmation that she had said his name while having sex with her boyfriend. For some reason the knowledge and the thought of it only seemed to make his dick come alive in his jeans.His jeans feeling a bit tighter now and he was sure that meant he was fucked up. Then again he'd known that from the moment he agreed to this bet with Taylor.A bet that was still ongoing since he knew Taylor hadn't even fulfilled his part in it. Taylor had yet to have sex with Avery while it seemed Zac couldn't stop having sex with her.Zac couldn't seem to stay away from her and he was fucked up. He was fucked up and it seemed there was no fixing that at all."I said your name once with someone else too," Zac admitted not sure what propelled him to admit that. Maybe it was because he could see how upset Avery was over it.Or maybe he wanted Avery to know that he'd thought of her while fucking another woman. That she'd been on his mind while his dick was in someone else.Avery raised her eyebrow as she looked at him and once again Zac felt his dick twitching in his jeans. Though this time it was because he found the confusion on her face attractive."Who did you say my name with?" Avery finally asked. "I mean I assume it wasn't Kate because you're still breathing," she said and with that Zac couldn't help but laugh."No, it wasn't Kate," he confirmed knowing if it had been Kate he would have been mortified. "It was Dora," he said, remembering that night almost vividly right now.He could remember the conversation they'd had before the sex when Dora had mentioned Zac trading her in for a younger model. It was an idea Zac hadn't even wanted to consider because he'd loved Dora. He'd loved the sex they had.He loved that even despite her age she could still have such a good libido.But then he'd said Avery's name and that had ended their affair. Dora just like Amberlyn had pushed him to the side. Something that Zac hated to admit Avery would probably do once she found out about the bet that he and Taylor had. A bet that he half regretted making. Only half because if he hadn't made it then he wouldn't be in this weird situationship with Avery."Dora?" Avery questioned with a confused face that didn't last long. "Oh, the woman from your church?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. "You said my name with her?"Zac nodded his head at her last question not even sure he felt embarrassed about his confession to her. How could he feel embarrassed by it?It was a confession he'd made to make her feel not as alone in the screw up she'd made with Wilson."Why?" Avery questioned as she chewed on her lip softly. "What made you say my name with her?""We'd been talking earlier that day and she thought I was gonna trade her in for a younger model. Then when we were having sex I just...I kept thinking about you and that night on the tour bus when you got off beside me because you thought I was asleep," Zac answered not sure if what he said made sense.He wasn't even sure it answered her question in the end but it would have to do. It was all he had.That was the only answer she'd get from him.Avery stayed silent for such a long time after his confession that Zac was almost afraid he'd scared her. He was almost afraid that somehow his words had been too much, which in the end seemed laughable given everything that had already happened between them.They'd crossed so many lines so how could his confession be what would be too much?If anything he was sure if Avery knew about the bet he had with Taylor then that would be too much.If Avery knew about that bet it would ruin whatever they had right now and Zac wanted to keep this, whatever they had going. Just like he wanted to keep Avery away from Taylor so that he couldn't get her into bed.If he never bedded her then the bet would have to be called off. Or at least that was what Zac told himself anyway."I've thought about that too," Avery said her words bringing Zac out of his own head and thoughts. "That night on the bus. I've used it to get off during sex sometimes," she admitted softly like she was scared to say those words out loud.Zac wasn't sure if it was because saying those words was crossing more lines or if she was afraid that Wilson could come back at any moment and god forbid he came back when she was saying that.God forbid he came back and heard this conversation they were having.Hell, god forbid he came back and saw Zac here in the apartment."You have?" Zac questioned as he smirked, letting himself forget about Wilson and zeroing in on the fact that Avery had thought of that night too. That she'd used it to get off during sex. "And here I thought Taylor was the one you always wanted," he said, throwing her crush on Taylor in her face.Though he hoped he didn't sound mean. He wasn't trying to be mean even if he realized that maybe he was jealous of that crush she had on Taylor."He is..." Avery said though her words trailed off and her cheeks went pink though Zac didn't question her. Instead he felt his jealousy get a bit worse and he hated himself for that.He hated himself for being jealous at all really."I just..I guess I always wondered what it would have been like if you'd reached over and touched me that night," she finally continued and Zac swallowed hard at her words, hating the way his cock twitched again in his jeans, reminding him of the fact that he was hard.He was hard and he wanted her but he wasn't sure he could have her. Not here in this apartment where her maybe boyfriend could walk in and find them.Not after she'd said his name with said maybe boyfriend."I was tempted too," Zac admitted, voicing the fact that he had been tempted to reach his hand over and take over the job of getting her off. That as he had laid next to her where they'd slept on the tour bus, his cock getting hard as he'd listened to her getting off that all he'd wanted was to reach his hand over and let himself use his own fingers.All he'd wanted was to feel her wet cunt beneath his hand and slip his fingers inside of her."You were?" Avery questioned, sounding shocked by what Zac revealed and Zac felt his cheeks get hot and he knew his cheeks were probably pink.He was blushing and it was all because he was letting himself be open and honest with her. Something that he seemed to be doing a lot of lately."I was," Zac confirmed with a head nod, his cheeks getting hotter now and he half wished he could take his words back but he knew he couldn't. He'd said them and they were out there now.He had to live with the fact that Avery knew he'd wanted to finger her that night, years ago in the back of the tour bus."Why didn't you?" She questioned and good lord Zac thought Avery was going to kill him with her questions but at least it seemed she wasn't worrying about the mistake she'd made with Wilson and saying his name during sex with Wilson.So he counted that as a good thing.Zac shrugged his shoulders as he looked away from Avery. "I guess I was just afraid," he sighed knowing it was that but also he'd hoped to get Amberlyn back and well he couldn't do that if he was messing around with his sister.He may have been cheating on his wife but he apparently didn't like cheating on his mistresses. He didn't want more than one woman to cheat on Kate with when he did cheat on Kate.But Zac couldn't tell Avery that. It had been years and he'd moved on from Amberlyn and he didn't want to talk about how pathetically gone he'd been for her.He didn't want to talk about how she'd broken his heart so easily."But you weren't afraid to come onto me at the studio," Avery said, bringing up the day this thing between them started. "What changed Zachary?" she asked and Zac hated the way she said his full name.Usually when people said his full name in that weird stern tone she used it meant they wanted the truth and Zac couldn't give her that. He couldn't tell her a part of why he'd come onto her like he did was because of a bet he had with Taylor. So he was going to have to lie to her and hoped she believed his lie.He was going to have to pray that she believed his lie."I guess I was tired of being scared," he answered and as he did he was surprised that his words didn't feel like a lie.He was surprised by the idea that there may have been some truth there in his words. Maybe he had just needed a push to finally try something with her after years of thinking about his failed opportunity and the bet gave him what he needed.For once he could blame Taylor for something good happening to him.Avery nodded as if she believed what he said and well, it was true so he didn't see why she wouldn't believe it.It just wasn't the whole truth and that was something Zac was going to keep from her for as long as he could."Are you scared of Wilson coming back and finding you here?" Avery questioned as she let a hand go down to his leg and the moment her hand touched his leg Zac once again felt his cock twitch and again he knew Avery was going to kill him tonight.She was going to kill him but at least he'd die happy.Zac laughed softly as he bit his lip briefly before speaking. "I think the better question is are you afraid of that?" he asked her and after he spoke he felt her hand go higher up his leg. Her fingers were close enough that she could brush one against the visible erection he had but she didn't.Avery was teasing him and he loved every minute of it."No," Avery stated as she shook her head and after she answered him Zac bit down on his lip again as her hand moved some more, brushing across the erection he had and making his want for her even worse.His cock was aching and he needed his sister to make it better.Before he could say anything else to her though Zac watched as she leaned in and soon pressed her lips to his own urgently in a desperate kiss, her hand once again brushing against his cock and all he could do was moan out softly into her mouth.He wanted Avery and he didn't care if Wilson walked in and caught them at this rate. He was going to take her right here on this goddamn couch."Avie," Zac muttered out as he pulled away from the kiss a bit breathless, his brown eyes locking with hers. "You're sure about this?" he asked knowing she said she wasn't scared of Wilson coming home and finding them but he just wanted to double check.He just wanted to make sure that she wouldn't chicken out and make him have to hurry off to the bathroom to have to use his hand."I'm sure," Avery said with a nod of her head and before he could say anything else she was once again pulling him into a kiss.A kiss that led to him moving so that he could position her on her back on the couch as he laid over her. His hands slowly found their way under the tank top she was wearing. A tank top that he wanted off her because he wanted to get his mouth on her breast.He wanted to lick and suck on those beautiful nipples of hers.It was that thought that propelled him to pull away from the kiss long enough to take the tank top off her and once it was gone, discarded on the floor by the couch he let his lips attach to her neck where he kissed and sucked on the skin there.His hips bucked down into hers when she began to moan out. Her moans were such a good sound. It gave him a thrill knowing he was the one making her sound like that. He was the one making her moan right now. Not Wilson and definitely not Taylor. Just Zac. Only Zac.Biting her neck gently at the last thought, Zac soon let his lips go even farther until he made it to her breast and once there he let his mouth go around one of her nipples, sucking on it slowly. Another moan was drawn out of Avery's mouth then and Zac knew she was loving this.She loved him sucking on her breast just as much as he loved it."Zac," Avery moaned out as her hips bucked up into his. "I need...." she started but stopped as another moan slipped out of her as he began to suck on her nipple a bit faster, his tongue coming out to lick around the small bud.Instead of pulling away to ask her what she wanted Zac kept his mouth on her breast, though one of his hands did slowly go to her pajama pants and when he reached the waistband he let his hand slip inside."Fuck," Avery whined out as she moved her hips, rutting against his hand to give herself a friction and Zac swore he almost came then and there. He truly did but thankfully he didn't because he didn't want to come while still fully dressed.He didn't want to come in his boxers like some horny teenager. He wanted to come inside of his sister's tight wet cunt.Moving his mouth away from her nipple finally, Zac looked down at Avery, their eyes locking. "You got a problem there?" he asked as he began to rub her through her underwear."I do," Avery answered before letting out a small moan. "I have a very big problem.""And just what would that problem be Avie?" Zac asked as he smirked loving how wet her panties already were and he hadn't even truly touched her cunt yet."You," Avery answered and after she spoke Zac finally let his hand slip inside of her panties, rubbing at her wet flesh and getting another moan from her.A moan that was loud and made Zac feel proud of himself. He was proud at how good he could make her feel."You are my problem Zachary," she continued once her moan had died off and fucking hell this time when she used his full name it sounded hot and it made his want for her even worse."And just how am I the problem?" Zac asked as he kept rubbing at her cunt, loving it when she bucked her hips up into his touch.She was chasing a friction that only he could give her right now. He was the only one who could give her any sort of pleasure right now and Zac knew his ego was growing but he wasn't sure he cared.It was hard to care when his sister was beneath him, wanting him just as much as he wanted her."Because you're teasing me," Avery spoke and after she did he couldn't help but let his smirk grow, two of his fingers finally slipping inside of her.As he fucked her with his fingers, Zac couldn't help but keep eye contact with her and he knew that his teasing may have been driving her crazy but she loved it. She loved his teasing because it was making her want him more.It was making her want him more and it would be worth it when he was inside of her. It'd be worth it once he had his cock in that tight little cunt of hers."You love it though," Zac whispered out as he leaned in and kissed her again, his fingers moving faster inside of her.A slight shiver running down Zac's spine as Avery bit down on his bottom lip."I need you," Avery muttered out into his mouth in between kisses. "Need you inside of me so bad Zachary," she sighed, sounding almost whiny and needy.Her words were enough to make Zac kiss her a bit harder as he slowly let his fingers slip out of her which again made her whine.It was a needy little whine too and it did things to Zac. Things that he hadn't known were possible."I need you too," Zac admitted as they locked eyes again. "Which is why if you really want me you'll stop whining and help me get us both undressed faster," he told her and after his words he felt his cheeks getting hot because fuck did he sound cheesy.He sounded so god damn cheesy and he didn't blame her when she let out a small laugh."Okay okay," Avery retorted with a playful eye roll and Zac found her gorgeous when she did that. He found her so fucking gorgeous which was way he leaned down to kiss her again and this time as they kissed, they found a way to take off the remaining clothes they had on until they were both naked.Zac deepened the kiss slightly once they were both naked, his hand sliding between her legs again and rubbing at her bare flesh.The moan she let out at that caused him to smirk against her lips."Stop teasing me," Avery muttered out as she pulled away from the kiss, looking up at him with a stern look in her eyes. A look that Zac found kind of hot on her.Hot enough that he let his hand move away from her cunt and he positioned himself between her legs, soon slipping inside of her and once he had slipped inside of her, he watched the way her eyes fell shut as a smirk of her own appeared on her lips.A smirk that let him know she was satisfied to finally have him inside of her. A smirk that made his ego grow even more than what it already was."This what you wanted Avie?" Zac questioned as he began to move his hips, his cock thrusting in and out of her at a nice and steady pace. A pace that was good for him because if he went any faster he knew he'd come quickly and that wasn't what he wanted. He wanted this to last a bit longer.He wanted to be inside of her pussy for just a bit longer."I think you know it is," Avery retorted, almost breathless. "Now shut up and just keep fucking me, yeah?" she asked, sounding all demanding and who was Zac to deny her what she wanted?It was something he could do well so he did it. He leaned in to kiss her so he had something to do with his lips and he kept his hips moving at the same steady pace, a low moan slipping out of him when her hands found their way to his waist, her nails digging into his skin slightly.Enough that he knew he'd have imprints for a while. He'd have a physical reminder of what they'd done tonight on his body.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Chapter Nine
"What do you mean Zac is in New York?" Taylor questioned as he looked at Isaac as they both sat in their offices at 3CG studios. It was early in the morning and Taylor's second cup of coffee was seated in front of him at his desk.A desk that was across from Zac's and Zac's desk well it was empty. There was no Zac and when he'd asked Isaac about it, his older brother had informed him that Zac had left for New York last night.Zac had gone to the place where Avery was at and Taylor couldn't help but have a small sneaking suspicion that Zac being there involved Avery somehow."I meant what I said," Isaac said and his voice brought Taylor out of his own thoughts. "Zac texted me last night and told me he had gotten a flight to New York. That was all he said."Taylor couldn't help but sigh at that. Leave it to Zac to just up and leave on a whim and not say much of anything.Though Taylor felt Zac not saying much proved he was going there because of Avery. He was there because of the girl they had a bet over.A girl that Taylor had yet to sleep with and who Zac had already slept with. Zac had already slept with their sister so Taylor didn't understand what he was doing going to New York.He didn't understand why Zac cared if Avery got back with that boyfriend of hers. It was Avery's mistake to make and Taylor himself would have proved that to her when she came back to Tulsa to get her things.He would have used that to fulfill his part of the bet and get Avery into bed with him.But now, who the hell knew what Zac was doing to ruin his plan. Who knew what Zac was doing to ruin everything really.It all just made Taylor mad, though he knew he couldn't show that outwardly. Isaac would wonder about that and ask questions and that was the last thing he wanted happening.Isaac didn't need to know anything about what was going on. He wouldn't understand.Isaac would think both he and Zac were twisted. He would judge them and be his usual asshole self. It was something Taylor didn't need from his older brother who he walked a fragile line of love and hate with."Well this messes things up," Taylor groaned out knowing he could play his anger off as related to band things. He was the one known for being a perfectionist when it came to that. He was the one who made sure Isaac and Zac followed through."Does it?" Isaac asked him with a raised eyebrow. "I mean we don't really have any big plans right now," he said in a way that made Taylor angry.Or well maybe it wasn't anger but it was something that he didn't like. He didn't like the way Isaac was so nonchalant about things. Then again maybe that was just because he was pissed over Zac being in New York.Taylor was pissed over that and he was going to take that out on Isaac."It doesn't matter that we don't have big plans right now," Taylor told Isaac with a shake of his head. "It still would have been nice for Zac to let us have some advanced warning though in case anything last minute comes up."Taylor watched as Isaac rolled his eyes after he said what he did and he had to bite his tongue from lashing out at his brother. While he did want to take his anger out on Isaac, he also knew that wasn't a good idea. He didn't want Isaac mad at him when Zac wasn't here to referee their arguments like he usually did."Maybe it would have been nice but we didn't get that warning so here we are," Isaac stated plainly and simply and Taylor hated it.He hated it because there was nothing he could do to change things. It wasn't like he could teleport Zac here with his mind and he knew he couldn't call Zac and yell at him to come back.Hell, he was sure if he tried to call him right now Zac would just ignore him. It was just a gut feeling that he had on that but one he was sure was an accurate gut feeling.It wasn't one of the false gut feelings you could get. Taylor was sure this one was real and that if he tried to call Zac it would just go to voicemail."Do you have to be the realist right now?" Taylor asked Isaac knowing usually Isaac was the pessimistic one out of the three of them and Zac was the realist so it was weird seeing Isaac taking that on right now. Especially since it seemed Taylor was the one taking on the pessimistic role at the moment."Since Zac isn't here one of us should be the realist," Isaac said almost like he could read Taylor's mind which made sense.Despite them having this weird love and hate tension between them they were also a lot alike. They were alike and Isaac probably did know what he was thinking sometimes because he thought the same things too. It was enough to get on Taylor's nerves.He didn't want to be like Isaac too much. Isaac could sometimes be a bit of a bore and Taylor never wanted to be boring. He liked causing trouble and doing crazy shit.It was one of the many reasons he'd talked Zac into the bet about sleeping with Avery and seeing who was better. He knew it would cause trouble but hopefully not enough that there was a huge fallout.Hopefully the bet would just be a secret between him and Zac and no one would have to get hurt.Taylor didn't want Avery getting hurt even if she was the one the bet was about. He did care about his sister and the last thing he wanted was to hurt her. He really hoped that was the last thing Zac wanted as well."Being the realist is a weird look on you," Taylor retorted as he shook his head because it was weird for Isaac to be anything but his usual pessimistic self.It was real fucking weird."Yeah well being the pessimistic one is a weird look on you," Isaac countered and his words made Taylor blush as he looked away from Isaac's stare, hating how it felt like Isaac was looking right through him.The last thing he wanted or needed was Isaac to see right through him and know how awful and twisted he was."Seems we're both not ourselves today," Taylor said with a shake of his head as he looked back at Isaac offering his brother a smile and he hoped it looked genuine.It sure as hell didn't feel genuine."It would indeed seem that way."Taylor couldn't help but let out a small laugh at Isaac's response because for some reason it felt like such an Isaac thing to say. It was something his older brother would do and well, he still had some of his own self it seemed.He was still Isaac."Do you want to have an early day today?" Taylor asked him because he knew without Zac there wasn't much they could really get done.That and Taylor wasn't sure he could work as angry as he felt. He was afraid it would just distract him or lead him to lash out at Isaac again and right now they seemed to be at peace. Their earlier tension broke just a little bit."I think an early day sounds good. It gives me some time to spend with Nikki and the kids," he said with a small smile and Taylor knew Isaac loved his family. He loved them more than Taylor loved Natalie and his kids which sounded awful.Taylor did love his wife and his children but it wasn't enough to stay faithful to his wife. It wasn't enough to not risk ending his marriage and ruining the happy family his children knew. He half wished he could be like Isaac in that way at least. But he knew it would never happen. He couldn't change that much. He wasn't sure he wanted to change that much."A short day it will be then," Taylor nodded his head. "We'll leave at noon. That leaves us a few hours to get some things done," he said knowing they could at least maybe answer emails or phone calls.They could take on some of the roles their secretaries did. Then thy could both leave for the day and Taylor hoped once he left it would help clear his mind and his anger. It would make him forget briefly that Zac was in New York with Avery doing who the hell knew what.
