Inside These Arms Of Yours

"Come on Zacky hurry it up dude! The rest of us want to shower too!" Brian hollered as he pounded on Zacky's bathroom door. I had since showered and was now sitting on Zacky's bed while Val was currently occupying my bathroom to rid herself of the sticky mess the guys had shared with us. The guys had apparently brought swim suits and were planning on just changing onto those. Val on the other hand was going to borrow some of my clothes. While it had been fun, it was nice to be clean. I took a quick shower so as to be able to share; Zacky on the other hand, was taking forever!

"I'll hurry it up on one condition." He yelled back from inside the shower.

"You name it you got it if it means you hurry your ass up!" Jimmy was next to reply.

"Send Katie in!" I could just see the smirk on his face. I thought it was a joke but soon began to think otherwise when the guys all turned to face me.

"Oh no I'm not going in there." I shook my head.

"Oh yes you are if it means he hurries it up!" Brian started to walk toward me as I backed up on Zack's bed.

"Shower's free!" Val yelled from the other room and instantly Johnny went running. For such a short guy he could move rather fast.

The guys were now advancing on me. They had each taken one side of the bed and I knew it was pretty much useless for two reasons. One because I was still not in the best shape and two because well it was weak me against three guys with more muscles put together than probably one of those men on the world's strongest man competitions. Basically, it was a fight I was going to lose. I flopped backward onto the bed and sighed as I allowed myself to be gently lifted up by Brian. He walked over to the bathroom door and opened it before he set me down on the ground, told me to have fun, and shut the door behind him.

As much as part of me wanted to, the other part told me not to look at the shower. But the first part got the best of me. I glanced up to find that the shower had frosted windows instead of plain clear. That didn't stop me from seeing his silhouette though. I should have known that his shower would be the same as mine; a freestanding shower with only one wall on the back side, the other three were windows.

"So nice of you to join me." I could hear the smirk in his voice. That infamous smirk was back.

"Bring me that towel will ya babe?" He asked as I was still staring at the shower. I broke my gaze off of his shadowed form and looked to the counter where a black towel was sitting folded.

"Yeah sure." I picked up the towel and made my way over to the shower. Wow, I had never been this close to a naked Zacky before. This was rather awkward and my nerves were getting the best of me. Of course I was not about to let anything this good happen until my body was all back to normal. I still hated looking like this.

Zacky turned the water off which earned a "Finally!!" from Matt in the other room. He pushed the door open slightly and reached his hand out for me to hand him the towel. I wandered back over to the sink to look at myself in the mirror. I guess my face wasn't really as bad as I thought it was. I had a blue bruise on my jaw and one of my eyes was still slightly puffy. Thankfully the anti-inflammatory shot they gave me in the hospital took care of that. I leaned my elbows on the sink and hung my head wishing this was all a bad dream.

When I looked back up in the mirror I stared at Zacky's reflection. He stood leaning against the door frame of the shower with the towel hanging dangerously low around his waist. He started to walk toward me and I turned around so I was facing him. As he got closer I couldn’t help but glance back down at the towel before returning my gaze to his still smirking face. His arms rested on the counter on either side of me and there was no escaping him now.

"One of these days I'll have you join me actually in the shower. I just know you're not up to anything until you feel one hundred percent. But I just thought I'd inform you. Give you a heads up." I think that smirk is going to become permanently plastered to his face. I was about to retort when he pressed himself fully up against me.

"It seems you're at a loss for words." Oh was I ever now. "Let me help you with that." And with that his mouth pressed against mine, not in the loving way it had been lately but in the 'I want you' way. It felt weird since his lip rings were missing. His hands moved from the counter to my waist. His kisses trailed from my mouth down to my neck where they paused for a moment.

"As soon as I get a huge ass moan out of you we'll head out and let the other guys have a turn. But it's gotta be a real moan. None of that fake shit that some girls like to pull." He glanced up at me to see me nod my head before placing his mouth back on my neck. Damn him and this fetish of his. His hands roamed from my waist around to my ass. His soft kisses started to get rougher on my neck and he kept going from the nook of my neck up to my jaw, the side without the bruise, and back down again. I let out a soft groan as his tongue grazed my jaw.

"That's not good enough." He delved back to my lower neck proceeding to kiss it, nothing new yet.

It came as a shock to me however when he gripped my butt tightly and bit down on my neck causing me to let out one of the loudest moans I've ever had. His teeth released my now tender skin before resting his forehead against mine. My eyes were tightly shut and when I opened them it was to stare into his green orbs.

"That's more like it." And with that he stepped away from me and opened the bathroom door to be greeted by cheers from the three remaining men. I wandered out trying to look as casual as possible but the moment they saw my flushed face they all grinned.

"Have fun?" Jimmy asked as Zacky walked over to his closet nonchalantly.

"Loads." I muttered before I exited the room and wandered over to mine where I proceeded to lie on my bed that Val was also lounging on.

"What happened to you?" She laughed seeing my somewhat bummed facial expression.

"Zacky happened. That's what. Hey Val if you don't mind I think I'm going to close my eyes for a few. My energy levels have just about been exhausted I think. You're welcome to stay here though." I was starting to feel sort of light headed. I should have known I needed to take it easy, unfortunately that had been a hard task so far.

"Please do! You need your rest. I'm going to head downstairs and see if I can start on cleaning the boys' mess in the kitchen."

"You're a life saver Val." She smiled at me before heading downstairs. I could still hear my shower water running which meant that Johnny was still in there. Oh well. It was my room after all.

~xXx~

I was awoken by laughter who knows how long later. It sounded like all the water was turned off which meant that the boys were done with the showers. As I walked downstairs the laughter got louder until I reached the living room.

"Oh gosh. My eyes." I shielded my sleepy eyes from the sight that stood before me. All five guys were standing with towels wrapped around their waists facing the couch that I could see Val sitting on. I went and plopped down next to her before facing the incredibly sexy sight that was before me.

"Someone care to explain?"

"Well, it seems that we left our swimsuits at our homes contrary to what we thought. And we now need you and Val to go get them." Matt laughed seeing our unhappy expressions.

"That doesn’t explain Zacky. He lives here." I raised an eyebrow at Zack who just shrugged.

"They told me I wasn't allowed to get dressed until they were and if I did they'd make it so I have to take a shower again." He glared at Matt specifically which made sense seeing as Matt was the strongest and was therefore the most likely to follow through with the threat.

"And what if we don’t want to go get them?" Val asked bravely as she stood up to come face to face with her boyfriend.

"Well you see, we thought of that." Jimmy started.

"And we came to a great conclusion." Johnny continued.

"If you don't go get our clothes…" Brian piped in.

"We'll be forced to take drastic measures…" Zacky followed.

"And just go towel-less for the rest of the day." Matt finished as he smirked down at Val.

"Wow, I can't believe you guys even planned out a way to say that. I'm impressed. And as much as I know we'd both like to see the towel-lessness I think we'll go get the clothes." Val told Matt as I still sat there speechless. This seemed to be becoming a trend for me today. Val quickly grabbed my arm and the car keys that Matt was handing out to her before dragging me toward the door. That’s when I found my voice.

"Hey what if I actually wanted to see that?!" I yelled as she dragged me out the door. The last thing I heard before the door shut was the guys laughing hysterically.

"Not cool Val." I pouted as we were off on our way to Johnny's house first. Apparently, all the guys had keys to each other's houses, which would explain how they got into Zack's house earlier.

"Oh I'm sure that's not the end of it, even when we come back with the clothes. I can't believe they were stupid enough to forget theirs in the first place though. They were planning on swimming and putting you in an inner tube, hence the extra clothes. So much for that idea though." Val had sure put up with a lot from these guys over the years.

"Where are the other girls today?" I questioned wondering if we would run into them making our stops.

"Well, Lacey had class at Fullerton, Leana was going out with her mom for a bit and Michelle went to get her hair re-dyed today. They all wanted to join in the fun but life gets the best of us all sometimes." We pulled into the driveway of a house that looked very similar to Zack's. Johnny had a nice house. It was simple, yet contemporary and it suited him well. Val ran upstairs and came back down a minute later with a gym bag of clothes.

"That boy needs to clean his room." She groaned. "Men… why can't they ever be clean?"

I couldn’t help but laugh at her aggravation. Although you could tell she was used to it by now.

"I have a feeling Brian won't be any better."

She turned out to be slightly wrong. Brian's room was much like Zacky's had been, somewhat clean.

"I'll hunt out a bag if you grab the clothes." She told me as she left to go back downstairs.

I grabbed Syn a pair of black jeans and one of his many t-shirts. I had a feeling he wouldn't care which one. I walked over to the set of drawers that presumably contained his boxers and I couldn't help but laugh. Here I was about to go through his drawers, for a valid reason, right after he went through mine. Not many girls could say they had to go through Synyster Gates' drawers to find a pair of boxers for him. Wow that sounded dirty.

Next up was Jimmy's house, which I had been in before, and then came Matt and Val's house. They had a very nice house. It was simple which seemed to fit the two of them well. Their house had a lot of greens in the decorations, contrary to Zacky's black and blues. It had a very homey feel to it. She quickly ran up the stairs to their room and came back down with yet another gym bag that we added to the pile in the back seat of the Escalade. It was nice having all the guys live so close to each other, made the trips from house to house easier. As we pulled into the driveway we noticed that the drapes on the front window were pulled shut, when before they had been open. We both grabbed some of the gym bags before stepping outside of the car and pausing.

"Something tells me this isn't going to be pretty." Val muttered as she shook her head.

"Well I believe you then since you've been around these guys for a long time. Should we go in through the back door?"

"Well, they are probably prepared for us to come through the front so that actually may be safer so we don’t come across anything even more unexpected."

"Ah I like the way you think." I nodded at Val.

We reached the door and glanced at each other before putting a hand over our eyes and opening the door slowly. We cautiously entered the room bumping slightly into each other.

"Why is it so quiet?" Val whispered to me.

"I have no idea. I think the coast is clear though. On three?"

"Sure. One. Two. Three."

And with that we opened our eyes and screamed. The guys were lined up facing away from us but Val had been right. The towels were missing and we were being mooned. The funny part was, neither Val nor I could turn away. I'm not sure if it was out of shock or the fact that they just had nice asses. Probably the latter.

"Damn it guys! Put something back on!" Val yelled as she and I cautiously approached the guys, who were in hysterics, just close enough to throw their bags at them. Good thing she had spoken up cause I was too busy staring at Zacky's bare ass to say anything. The guys decided to put their towels back in place before turning around to face us and grab the bags.

"Aw man I was enjoying the show." I huffed before sitting on the couch. The guys all filed upstairs still laughing but Zacky paused as he reached me.

"I bet you were." He leaned down and whispered in my ear before giving me a wink and heading upstairs as well.

"They are going to be the end of me someday. I just know it." Val literally flopped down across my lap before letting out a giant sigh. She was too much, yet I found myself enjoying her company more and more.

"Hey Katie?" She looked up at me.

"Mhmm?"

"If they ever do that again, can I kill them? Please?" She pleaded with puppy dog eyes.

"I would say yes but I have a feeling we'd miss them too much, not to mention the fans might kill us shortly after." I laughed as she groaned.

"You're right. Guess it's a good thing we love them enough to put up with their shit huh?"

"You've got that right hun."
