“Can I have more of that when we get home?” Brook asked from behind me. She gave me a squeeze around the middle and I rubbed her hands.
“All. Fucking. Night.” I turned around and we shared a slow burning kiss that made Brook’s entire body quiver. I loved pushing her body to its limits. I loved watching the effect I had on her. It was beautiful.
A knock sounded on my office door before I heard it swing open. Brook froze to her spot, her hazel pools full of fear. I kissed her forehead and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.
“Cease, you in here?” Hollows’ voice called from my office.
“One second, Ronnie,” I answered. When Brook slid her pinkie around mine and tugged, I tugged back. “It’s okay,” I assured her.
I walked out to greet Ronnie while Brook hung back. “Is Brooklyn here?” He asked, looking around me.
“Yeah, she’s in the bathroom.” A small swarm of nerves took over me remembering that he knew about us. More than likely, he knew we’d been in my office fucking too. The scent of both of us had to still be in the air. There was no mistaking it.
“Cease, remember what I said to you during our session,” he said quietly.
“Ronnie, I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t feel comfortable talking about it.”
“But there is something to talk about?” He regarded me with his hands in his pockets and a quizzical expression painted across his features.
“No, Ronnie. There isn’t,” I lied.
By then, Brook was walking out of the bathroom. I forced my eyes away from her face but it was really all I wanted to look at. I did catch a glimpse of my teeth marks on her olive skin.
I was so goddamn stupid for marking her up like that right before she had a session with Ronnie. Brook turned me into a crazy man though. I wanted her more than I wanted my next breath sometimes. It was staggering.
“Ah, Brooklyn, how are you?” Ronnie shook her hand and she smiled.
“I’m fine.”
“You ready for our session? We’re making so much progress.” They headed out of the door and I watched Brook smiling and laughing while her dark hair flowed behind her.
The moment the door closed, I fell into my chair and sighed. What the fuck was I doing? I lost my brother and lost my goddamn mind.
Everyone in the world would look at us like we were pariahs if we decided to have a life together. If I was being honest though, that’s all I could think about lately. Every night I held Brooklyn in my arms, I thought about having her in my arms forever.
I thought about waking up to her in the kitchen making breakfast and playing loud eighties music. I thought about fucking her every night until we fell asleep from exhaustion.
I thought about it all.
Lately, seeing her round and full with my baby was at the forefront of things. As insane as it was, it brought me immeasurable peace. Was my mind that fucking warped or was I simply in love?
I pushed the nagging thoughts to the back of my head and answered some emails while Brook had her session with Ronnie. When she was done, I took her to grab dinner outside of town.
“If we’re going out to dinner, can you do me a favor?” Brook looked at me with excited eyes.
“What is it?” I’d do anything for her. She had me wrapped around her little finger.
“Can you buy me a dress? I want to look pwetty.” When she batted her long lashes, I was helpless. My chest squeezed and I took the next exit to the mall.
I sat waiting for her to try on several dresses until she found the right one. When Brook was done, she came out of the store wearing a pink dress that skimmed her toned thighs. She wasn’t quite comfortable enough to bare her arms so she wore a jean jacket over the dress but it was so Brooklyn. It fit her perfectly in every way.
I couldn’t wait to take her out away from prying eyes. I mainly wanted to look at her pretty face blush from across the table.
Little did I know, she was going to sit right beside me instead. Her pinky found mine and I brought her hand to my lips to kiss it. “Nobody here knows us,” I whispered in her ear.
“I know. I like it like that. Nobody from school or that knows you from your job. It’s amazing. We’re like…a couple.” So much love shone in her eyes that I nearly got lost in it all.
“We are,” I said with all the certainty in the world. I leaned over and kissed her cheek, then swept her hair away from her neck. Lavender and honey pulled me in hard and fast. The light scent had my cock thickening instantly.
