A few hours later, Jennifer could have sworn she was in heaven. The club AJ had picked was dark, smoky, and hot, with a crowded dance floor, not leaving very much room to maneuver. And as Nick and Jen had promptly figured out, also not leaving very much room for anyone to see anyone else. The two of them had claimed a spot on the floor early in the night, and spent most of the evening there, grinding together in time to the music, without a care in the world.

"Do you think AJ's gonna want to leave soon?" Nick asked Jennifer, smiling as he felt her hands trail over his butt to pull him towards her.

"I hope so," Jennifer replied with a grin, leaning into him. She had been having a wonderful time, dancing with Nick, but now she wanted to do something else... "I have plans for you..."

"Oh, do you?" Nick groaned with pleasure when he felt her hands run over him. "Baby...you drive me crazy..."

"Good," Jennifer smiled, bending her head and kissing Nick's neck quickly. As long as they were careful, Kevin would never know....they were just dancing...right?

"God," Nick's arms clasped around her waist, pulling her body tight against his, his length pressing firmly into her through their clothing. "I want you now..." All night long he'd been dying to kiss her, bury himself in her...

"Gotta wait," She smiled slyly, rotating her hips against Nick, knowing exactly what she was doing to him. "Soon..."

Nick's eyes glazed over and he shook his head, grabbing her head in his hands. "Now," he argued, before bringing his lips down upon hers, kissing her deeply.

"Nick..." Jennifer gasped, feeling his tongue invade her mouth, sending shock waves through her body. They were gonna get caught...

Nick didn't hear her, he was lost in the sensations of her tongue against his, her hair in his hands, the smell of her skin against his. Never in his life had he ever wanted, needed, another person so badly...

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!"

Jennifer and Nick jumped apart at Kevin's angry shout, both of them staring at him in horror.

"Uh, Kevin..." Jennifer stammered, her eyes growing wide as Kevin grabbed Nick's arm and roughly shoved him away from her, sending him flying. "Stop!"

"Dude, relax," AJ hissed at Kevin before helping a stunned Nick up off the floor.

"What?" Kevin glared at Jen, his green eyes blazing with anger. "What were you doing?"

"Can't a girl just be horny, Kev?" Jennifer asked him with a sneer.

"Not with Nick!" Kevin shouted at her, his hands waving around him in his frustration. "And not you!!"

Jennifer's mind raced as she tried to figure out some way to salvage the situation, her eyes narrowing when her gaze fell on AJ. Now that would work....she quickly walked over to AJ and cupped his face in his hands, kissing him before he could fully comprehend what she was doing. Much to her surprise, his hands quickly came up to tangle in her hair, his tongue invading her mouth.

Nick's mouth dropped open as he saw Jennifer kiss AJ, his expression turning to anger when AJ began returning the kiss enthusiastically, his body pressing tight into hers. Ok, he understood her doing it to make a point, but... "What the fuck...."

"Off!" Kevin growled, yanking AJ away from Jennifer with a frown. "This isn't funny, Jen." He glared at her, not understanding what she was doing.

"No, it's not, Kevin." She wiped off her mouth on the back of her hand and stomped out of the club, not surprised to find him following on her heels. "WHAT?" Once she was outside, she whirled around to stare at him, shaking her head over the expression on his face.

"You and Nick...tell me I didn't see what I thought I saw." Kevin said to her slowly, his voice stern. "And I don't know what the fuck you just did with AJ."

"You saw me and Nick dancing, and I did what I did with AJ to prove a point." Jennifer rolled her eyes. "You are a freak, and you're overreacting. Don't Nick and AJ have a right to do what they want? Don't I?"

"You are MY best friend, and you will do what I tell you to!" Kevin argued with her, frowning when she turned away from him to walk to the car. "What?"

"You need to calm the fuck down, Kevin," Jennifer shook her head angrily. "Since when have I ever done what you told me to?"

"I always tell you what to do..." Kevin argued.

"And do I EVER listen?" She replied with a smirk, laughing when his face fell. "See? This is why you married Kristen. She actually listens to you. Now, will you go back into that club and find her before she thinks you deserted her?"

Kevin looked around them in surprise, realizing for the first time he'd left his wife inside the club alone. "Oh. Ok. I'll be right back, Jenny Lynn."

"Take your time, Richie."



Jennifer sat in the van for the ride back to the hotel next to Carly in silence, trying to ignore the glares she was getting from Kevin, Nick, and now AJ. When they finally arrived, she ran upstairs as quickly as she could, blessing the fans outside for converging on the guys and stopping them.

"So are you going to tell me what happened?" Carly asked, laughing when Jen threw herself onto her bed with a groan.

Jennifer buried her head in the pillow and screamed, not knowing how else to react to the mess she'd made.

"Now there's a comment," Carly sat down on her bed with a smirk, crossing her legs under her. "So? I saw you and Kevin screaming at each other in the parking lot...what brought that on?"

Jennifer rolled over onto her back, shaking her head sadly. "You know, I'd actually started to convince myself that if Nick and I sat Kevin down, told him that we wanted to be together, that he would be ok with it, see things rationally."

"I'm guessing you discovered otherwise?"

Jennifer snorted, "you could definitely say that. Kevin came up on me and Nick kissing, and totally freaked. He threw Nick to the floor, Carly, I seriously thought he was going to hurt him!"

"Oh wow," Carly's eyes widened. "And I missed this?"

"Very funny," Jennifer grabbed a ponytail holder off of the table, pulling her hair up and out of her face. "Anyway, I didn't know what else to do, so...I kissed AJ."

Carly hooted with laughter, falling back on the bed and grabbing her stomach. "Wait, let me get this, Kevin's pissed because you're kissing Nick, so you go and kiss AJ?"

Jennifer was not pleased with her friend's happy reaction. "It was the only thing I could think of doing! I just didn't expect AJ to kiss me back!"

Carly sat up straight on the bed and stared at her friend. "You actually made out with Bone? Oh babe, spill, you know I've been dying for details on this."

"Ok, you're missing the point here," Jennifer groaned, throwing a pillow at Carly. "AJ kissed me back, Kevin pulled HIM away from me, and then we started yelling at each other."

"So now either Kevin thinks you're just hitting on all of his friends, or he's figured out that you're just trying to protect Nick."

"Yeah." Jennifer sighed.

"And what does AJ think?"

"I'm hoping both AJ and Kevin think I was really drunk, and leave it at that."

"You didn't drink a thing."

Jennifer shrugged, "they don't know that."

Carly started laughing at the knock on the door, smiling at Jen's discomfort. "Who do you think that is? A booty call from AJ or Nick, an angry Kevin, oh the possibilities..."

"Shut the fuck up," Jennifer grumbled, before getting up to open the door, finding a very red faced Nick on the other side. "Hey.."

"Come to my room?" Nick couldn't help but glance around the hall to make sure they were alone as he asked her. Kevin had been so angry...he hadn't expected that...

"Yeah," Jennifer stepped into the hall and closed the door behind her, figuring Carly would figure out what she'd done soon enough. She followed Nick into his room and sat down on the bed next to him, her heart breaking at the frown on his face. "Nicky, I'm so sorry about tonight..."

"It's not your fault," Nick told her with a sad sigh, pulling her into his arms. "Although I'm not quite sure why you kissed AJ..." Seeing her with AJ's hands all over her, his lips on hers, that had been awful, and he'd been rather glad when Kevin had put an end to it. Nick's Jenny wasn't supposed to be kissing AJ...

"I didn't know what else to do," Jennifer snuggled into his embrace, wondering how on earth this could be so wrong, when it felt so right. "Kevin scared the shit out of me when he grabbed you like that."

"Me too," Nick said softly, rubbing her back. "You and Kevin...Jenny...did you ever...you didn't, did you?" He kissed her hair, praying the answer would be no. He didn't know why it was so important, but it was....he needed to know she was his, and only his, in that respect. Not Kevin's.

Jennifer's eyes widened, and she looked up at Nick, wondering what his reasons for asking were. "What?"

"You guys are such good friends, why didn't you ever try being more?" Nick asked, needing to know the answer. He couldn't keep his hands off of her, AJ couldn't either, he didn't understand how come Kevin could.

"We'd kill each other," Jennifer snickered. "You see how we fight, imagine if we were dating? It would never work." She wasn't exactly telling a lie, right? Just omitting some critical information....but something about the look in Nick's eyes when he asked her, she just couldn't tell him the truth.

"Good," Nick smiled, kissing her forehead. "So you're all mine."

Jennifer nodded, raising her lips to his for another kiss. "I feel horrible keeping this from Kevin, though."

"Maybe before we start the second leg of the tour?" Nick suggested. "We'll be home for two months in between, give him some time to get used to the idea?"

"If we're still together?" Jennifer cracked, laughing when Nick's face fell. "What?"

"I don't plan on letting you go, Jennifer," he told her solemnly. "Not when this tour is over, not ever."

"Not ever?" Jennifer couldn't help but smile at the serious expression on Nick's face.

"I love you, Jenny Lynn, don't you get that?" Nick asked, his brow wrinkling when she made a face. "What?"

"Kevin calls me Jenny Lynn..." Jennifer frowned. Only Kevin....it wasn't like she LIKED the nickname, anyway.

"I love you, Jennifer." Nick repeated with a smile. "Better? Jenny?"

"Much," she replied, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I love you too, Nick Carter. God help us all."

Nick started laughing and rolled over on the bed, giggling as he agreed with her. "Oh no, Jennifer's in love. God help us all."
