They didn't see much of Ivy inside the gym Wednesday. Renee was there and the two women quickly disappeared outside where they sat for hours and talked until the guys were finally done.

"Ready to go?" Dean asked as he approached them.
"Yeah," Ivy answered and stood up.
"And you..." Dean said as he leaned down to kiss Renee. "I'll see you later."
"I'll come by around 7," Renee said.

As she got into the car, her eyes went over to Roman who was standing and talking to Seth. Dean watched her with a smile. The moment Roman directed his eyes back at her, she quickly looked down.

"Let's go," she said, almost whispering.

He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel for a few seconds.

"I need to tell you something," he said.

She looked at him.

"I wasn't gonna tell you but I think you should know. Let's go for a ride," he said and started the car.

"What are we doing here?" There was panick in her voice as Dean stopped in front of Derek's house.
"He's not there. We sent him packing last Sunday," he said.
"You what? How?" She asked.

He took her hand.

"Baron called and told me everything you had told him. That's how I knew where to find Derek. Me, Roman and Seth went there and convinced him to leave," he said.
"Convinced him? You mean you beat him up?" She asked.
"Actually I didn't. I flushed all his stuff and Roman kicked the shit out of him," he answered.
"Roman? Why would he do that?" She asked.
"Why do you think?" He asked.

She shrugged her shoulders and turned her gaze back at the house.

"I hate this place," she mumbled.
"He's gone, sis. For good. He owes a lot of money to some people after I flushed his shit so he had to run," he said.
"Thanks," she said. "Can we go now?"

There was a giggle sounding through the house as Renee entered and Dean lifted her up and carried her inside his bedroom. Ivy smiled from the couch. She was happy Dean had found love. She took out her phone and sent a text message.

"Wanna come by and watch a movie?"

Dean was surprised to see Baron sitting on their couch three hours later when he came out to get something to drink. Ivy had her head in his lap.

"She's sleeping," Baron said in a low tone.
"What are you doing here?" Dean asked.
"She texted me and asked me to come over," Baron answered.

Dean nodded and disappeared back into his room.

"Baron's here," he said as he dumped down on the bed next to Renee.
"So?" She asked.
"That wasn't part of my plan," he answered.
"And what plan is that exactly?" She asked.

He sighed, took her hands and kissed them.

"I just wanna see her happy," he said.

She wrapped her arms around him.

"We all wanna see that happen but you can't force them together. If it's meant to happen, it will happen," she said.
"But Baron?" He asked.
"She needs a friend right now. If she puts her trust in him, then let her. You and Baron were never close. Maybe she just needs someone from the outside who has nothing to do with you or any other person in your world," she answered.
"Were you always this wise?" He asked and chuckled.

Both Thursday and Friday went by and Dean noticed how both Roman and Ivy would look at each other whenever they thought the other one wasn't looking. It was starting to drive him crazy. As they were ending Friday, he stood close to Roman in the ring and lowered his voice.

"How long are you gonna pine over my sister?" He asked.

Roman quickly snatched his eyes away from Ivy and looked at Dean.

"What? I'm not," he answered.
"I got eyes in my head too, you know. I see the way you constantly look at her," Dean said.
"So? She's pretty. Can't blame a man for looking," Roman tried.
"No, I can't. But I tell you what I can do," Dean said and smirked.

He turned around to look at Ivy and raised his voice so she could hear him.

"Ivy! We're having a party tomorrow night," he said.
"We are?" She asked and looked at him.
"Yeah, I think we deserve it after everything, don't you?" He said.
"If you want to, then sure," she said.
"I want to," he said before looking at Roman and lowering his voice again. "You're welcome."

"I'm telling you, you gotta wear this," Renee said as she once again held up the short black dress she had found in Ivy's closet.
"Why can't I just wear jeans and a shirt? Dean's the one who wants to party. I just wanna go unseen through it without anyone looking at me," Ivy said.
"Not gonna happen. You're wearing this. End of discussion," Renee said.
"God, you're so bossy. Please stay in Dean's life and boss him around like that too," Ivy said with a smile before taking the dress out of Renee's hands.

Renee smiled at Dean as she walked out in the kitchen where he was standing. He put an arm around her and leaned down to kiss her cheek.

"All set?" He asked.
"Yep, got her in the best dress I could find in her closet. He's gonna drool all over her," she answered.
"Should I text him and tell him not to wear tight jeans?" He asked with a chuckle.
"Dean!" She said out loud and slapped his chest before chuckling as well.
"I love you. Thanks for everything you're doing for both me and Ivy," he said and kissed the top of her head.
"Just remember to stay out of it tonight, okay? You've pushed enough all ready. Let them figure it out," she said.
"If they can," he said.
"Dean..." She started but was cut off as he kissed her.

"Oh my..." Roman mumbled as he entered the livingroom and saw Ivy.
"She looks good, doesn't she?" Dean asked and poked Roman in the side with his elbow.
"Yeah, yeah, she does," Roman said and cleared his throat.

Renee grabbed Dean's arm and dragged him away while giving him a look.

"What? I'm just trying to help," he chuckled.

A couple of hours passed and Dean was starting to get annoyed. It seemed as if Baron was constantly around Ivy and Roman just stared at her from whatever corner he would stay it. It was starting to become pathetic.

"Just relax," Renee said as she felt him tense up.

He leaned down and kissed her.

"You're wonderful," he whispered in her ear before kissing her again.

When he finally let go and looked around again, Roman was gone. Baron was in a conversation with Apollo and Ivy was walking out of the livingroom. He decided to follow her.

She walked outside and he joined her.

"Are you okay, sis?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she answered.
"You don't seem fine," he said.

She sighed and looked up at the stars before turning her head back down to meet his eyes.

"I'm thinking about getting back together with Baron," she said.
"What? Why the fuck would you do that?" He spat out in shock to hear that.
"I want what you and Renee have," she said and sighed.
"And you think he can give that to you?" He asked.
"He's sweet, you know. He treats me good and he loves me," she answered.
"But you don't love him," he raised his voice.
"Maybe I can learn to in time and if not, then that's alright too. Maybe I'm not meant to..." She started but was cut off when Dean grabbed her head with both hands and looked at her.
"Stop it! Just stop it! It's not alright. You should never settle with that sort of thing. And I know there's someone else constantly on your mind even though you're too stubborn to admit it," he said.

She shook her head and gently pushed his hands away.

"It doesn't matter," she said.
"Just don't do anything tonight, alright? Can you promise me that? Wait till tomorrow when everyone's gone. Then we're gonna sit down and talk this through. If you still feel the same way Monday, I won't stand in your way. I won't like it but I won't stop you," he said.
"Okay, that's fair enough. Look Dean, I'm not really in the mood to party. I'm gonna take a walk," she said.
"Where are you gonna go?" He asked.
"You know where," she answered and walked away.

He watched her walk away. The darkness quickly consumed her and he sighed. Going back to Baron? What on earth was she thinking? He would do whatever it would take to convince her otherwise. A voice from behind snapped him out of his thoughts and made him turn around.

"Dean?" Roman asked as he stepped out from behind the house and revealed himself.
"What the hell, Roman, were you out here the whole time eavesdropping?" Dean asked.
"I didn't mean to. I was already out here when you came out," Roman answered.
"And you didn't think to cut in at any time, like say, when I almost had her admitting to..." Dean said.
"To what?" Roman cut in.
"God damn it, Roman, this is your final chance. You wanna be with her, I suggest you go after her now. Monday it might be too late," Dean raised his voice.
"I don't know where she went," Roman said and looked down at his feet.
"You know the old train tracks that aren't used anymore?" Dean asked.
"Yeah," Roman answered.
"There's an old shack out there. She goes there to sit and think," Dean said.
"I know where it is. Thanks," Roman said.

He started walking away but stopped after only a few steps as Baron made his presence known in the open front door.

"What the hell, were you eavesdropping too?" Dean asked.

Baron nodded before walking out and stopped in front of Roman. He looked intensely at him before finally opening his mouth.

"Don't hurt her," he said.
"I won't," Roman said.

Baron stepped aside and Roman took off. Dean walked over to Baron and gave him a thankful look.

"I love her, Dean, I really do, but I could never be with someone who doesn't love me back," Baron said.

Dean gave Baron's shoulder a squeeze before walking back inside again.

Ivy sat on the ground in the shack, staring out on the train tracks that were barely visible in the darkness. She heard footsteps from a pair of boots walking closer and she froze. No one ever came out here. Shortly after a tall figure appeared in the opening. She looked up and met Roman's eyes.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"I heard about this place and came to check it out. I like what you've done with it," he joked.

She let out a small laugh and the sound made him feel warm.

"Don't sit on the cold ground. Here," he said and took off his jacket and handed it to her.

She put the jacket on the ground and sat on it. He sat next to her.

"Can't have that little ass getting cold now, can we?" He said.

He shook his head and mentally cursed himself. That was not something he was supposed to say in that moment.

"I bet you'd warm it right back up if that happened," she fired back.

He looked at her but she was looking straight ahead. At least she hadn't gotten mad about his words.

"I wouldn't refuse to do that," he said and smirked.

She sighed and leaned her head back against the shack before turning it to face him.

"Seriously Roman, what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I came to see you. I have something I need to tell you," he answered.
"What? Did Dean send you? Of course he did. How else would you know where I was?" She said.
"If you would just shut up for a second, so I can..." Roman said.
"Is it about Baron? Please, I don't wanna talk about that right now," she said.
"Shut up!" He tried raising his voice but it was like she didn't hear him,
"I thought we agreed on talking about it tomorrow but he just had to send you to..." She was immetiately cut off when he kissed her.

Her eyes were wide when he leaned back out again.

"Now will you shut up and let me talk, woman?" He asked.

She nodded.

"I never know what to say or how to act around you and I always end up making a complete fool out of myself. From the moment I first saw you, I knew I wanted you, but you were Dean's sister and I didn't wanna go there, afraid to mess up this new friendship with him and instead I ended up portraiting myself as a complete idiot. I went caveman on your ass over and over again and you didn't deserve that. But god damn it, Ivy, I want you. I want you so bad. I gotta have you, I just got to," he said as he grabbed her and kissed her again.

He pulled her up on his lap, still kissing her while holding her tight. He let his hands slide down her back, up under her dress and squeezed her ass. He then suddenly pulled back and looked at her.

"And there I go caveman on your ass again. What's wrong with me? Demanding you instead of asking you out," he said and sighed.
"I don't mind you going caveman on me as long as it's in the bedroom," she said.

He smiled and looked at her.

"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Let's face it, Roman. We're both weird around each other but at least we got our points across about wanting each other, don't you think? I mean, your hands are still on my ass and I'm still in your lap and all I can think about right now is seeing you naked," she said.

He laughed and planted a quick kiss on her.

"Now that we can do something about. I took my car here so let's go back to my place," he said.

Shortly after they were sitting in his car. He had a hand on her thigh, slowly caressing it.

"You better text Dean," he said.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because you're not coming home tonight," he answered.

She bit her lip and looked at him. He looked back at her and all she saw was pure lust in his eyes.

"Promise?" She asked.
"There's no escaping this time, not out of any door or window. You will have to knock me out cold if you wanna get out of there," he said and squeezed her thigh, slowly moving his hand upwards.

She spread her legs and let him feel her outside the thong. He smiled as he could feel it was slightly wet.

"Something tells me you don't wanna leave anyway," he said.

Roman woke up next morning by the sound of his phone ringing. He hurried to answer it and walked out of the bedroom so she wouldn't wake up.

"Good morning, big dog. I was just wondering if you've seen my sister by any chance," Dean chuckled on the other end.
"She's sleeping," Roman answered.
"Damn! Did you wear her out?" Dean asked.
"Something like that," Roman answered.
"So you finally got around to tell her how you feel. I'm proud of you," Dean said.
"Not exactly. I said some things and then I went caveman on her as usual. Turns out some chicks actually dig that," Roman said.

Dean laughed out loud on the other end.

"As long as you got your point across," he said.
"Well, she's here," Roman said.
"So how long are you keeping her?" Dean asked.
"As long as she wants. Hopefully for a very long time," Roman answered.
"I didn't mean in general. I meant right now. She didn't exactly pack any extra clothes when she took off last night," Dean said.
"Oh... I don't know. Guess I'll have to wake her up and ask," Roman said.
"Take your time. Goodbye, big dog," Dean said and hung up.

Roman walked back into the bedroom and saw she was awake. She was still lying in bed, just looking at him.

"Good morning, gorgeous," he said as he crawled under the duvet again.

He rolled up on top of her and kissed her.

"That was your brother. He wants to know when you're coming home," he said.
"What did you tell him?" She asked.
"That I'm keeping you as my prisoner forever," he chuckled and kissed her.

He broke the kiss and laced his fingers with hers.

"When do you wanna go home?" He asked.
"I don't know. How about at some point after lunch we go shopping and you can make that famous spaghetti carbonara for dinner for us all? I never got to taste it," she said.
"I thought you didn't like spaghetti," he said.
"You should know by now I only said that to get to you," she said.
"One more thing I have to punish you for," he said.
"Oh yeah? And how are you planning to do that?" She asked.
"I have my ways," he said as he pushed one knee between her legs, forcing them apart.

His other knee followed fast and in no time he pushed himself inside her. She tilted her head back as he started to thrust into her. He kissed her neck and moved up to her ear. His voice was hoarse as he spoke in a low tone.

"You should know that such punishment can't be done in a day or even in a week. I think I have to keep you around for a very long time until I'm sure you've been punished enough."

Her nails dug into his skin and she moaned out loud as his movements and words worked together to send her over the edge.

"Bring it on, caveman," she said and kissed him.

He thrust into her one last time and came.

"You're fucking poison and I want more," he said lowly in her ear.
