“That’s it…no one else?”

“The girl who was vacuuming, but she was in and out in five minutes so again I doubt she could do that.”

“Fine…I’m going to figure it out and I’m going to beat them at chess. I started a new game so we’ll see if they respond.”

“Who knows maybe they will,” Neil said walking to the door. “Now if you’ll excuse me I spent all of Friday night at your office I’d like to enjoy the rest of my weekend without my ancient brothers getting in the way.”

“We don’t get to meet the female who’s put such an urgent tone in your voice?” Adam asked.

“You never minded introducing us to your exes before,” Phil added.

“Her name’s Brooke and that’s all you’re getting. Tell Mom I won’t be over for dinner tonight.”

“You’re missing Sunday night spaghetti for a girl? Man she must be something,” Simon laughed. “She’s got you hooked little bro.”

“Why not bring her if you’re so adamant on spending time with her?” Ted inquired. “We’d all love to meet the woman who has you ignoring Sunday night dinner.”

“She can’t; she has to be out early in the morning and I’d like a few more uninterrupted hours with her.”

“What’s wrong does she have a curfew?” Phil joked but he didn’t find it amusing.

“Man…how old is she? Oh hell she’s a student, isn’t she?” Adam questioned with a laugh.

“Brooke is none of your concern, thanks for stopping by, now go.”

“Oh no, you’re not getting off that easily,” Simon stated. “Are you seriously sleeping with a student…your student?”

“Yes Brooke is a student at the university and yes she’s my student, happy?”

“Are you mental Neil?” Ted inquired. “Do you know what will happen if the dean or the board finds out you’re sleeping with your student?”

“They’re not going to find out. Brooke is a hell of a lot more mature than the last few women you’ve all brought around. She’s twenty-one and on her own.”

“And that makes it okay? Come on Neil use your brain. When it ends because you realize you have nothing in common with a girlthirteenyears younger than you, she’s going to be upset and tell the dean that you seduced her,” Simon added.

“No she won’t. Brooke’s not devious. She’s an amazing woman not a girl. Now go and I swear if you tell Mom or Dad…”

“We won’t until you lose your head over this girl, and she’s a girl bro,” Phil stated.

“Just go,” he told them shoving them out the door. He headed back to the bedroom and looked at Brooke. She’d gone back to sleep not that he blamed her. He’d used her so much the last forty hours that her body was likely screaming in agony.

He sat down on the bed beside her and drew the covers back taking in the marks all over her body. There were enough to put a smile on his face but it didn’t appear knowing that she still hadn’t given in, let him claim her entirely. He wanted her to admit that she was his now. She’d possessed him and he wanted to know it was the same for her.

He leaned over and kissed her waking her up along with her body. “Time to eat.”

She reached out for him and he let the smile touch his lips this time.

“Real food Brooke,” he said pulling her onto his lap. He barely held onto his control as she kissed him but he stopped her and carried her into the kitchen setting her down on a stool beside the island. He grabbed some things from the fridge and went about getting pans as she watched him. She slid off the stool and halted his movements as she grabbed an apron and slid it on before taking the pans and putting them away.

“Sit,” she said as she returned half of the things to the fridge and then started on making something that made his taste buds water.

“Surprising,” he stated as she finished cooking.

“What?”

“That you cook, most people like you don’t bother.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” she asked turning around to stare at him.
