“Good morning, Brooke,” Both men said in unison.
“Well, are you ready with the plans?” Nathan asked, enjoying the blush that painted Brooke’s skin when he looked at her.
“Yeah, I’m ready...I mean, the plans are ready, if you want to look at them…” Brooke was speaking, carrying three charts with her in an attache, trying her best not to think too much about the half-naked man standing in front of him.
“Them? As in more than one?” Gavin asked.
“Yeah. Usually, we present the client with multiple s

From then on, Brooke worked with her crew tirelessly to bring the mansion of her dreams to life. Occasionally ( which was almost daily) Nathan visited the site or her office, wherever Brooke was working that day, claiming to track the progress. It was one such afternoon when Brooke was working in her office and Nathan walked in.“Burning the midnight oil, I see.” Nathan teased, looking at the scene in front of him. Brooke was going through some papers. Wait, that was an understatement. Brooke was immersed with piles of papers overflowing around her office cabin. She was concentrating on something that she was reading, an adorable expression on her face, with her tongue poking out a little, eyebrows furrowed.“Oh, hey,” She looked up a little apologetically. “I’m so sorry for the mess around h

The week went by and their bond was slowly strengthening. They didn’t necessarily meet everyday, their schedules didn’t allow them to. Although their encounters were frequent enough for anyone to think that they did meet everyday after all. Brooke was at the grocery store, buying stuff when she crashed into Nathan. She was just walking towards the check out counter when she bumped into him. “I didn't know even billionaires have to buy their grocery themselves.” She teased. “Hey,”Nathan greeted her, a blinding smile on his face that had Brooke melting a bit. Those dimples were going to be the death of her. “As embarrassing as it is to admit it, its the truth. My mother is one who took care of the groceries back home.”

Brooke locked herself in her apartment for the rest of the day. She was really scared of what Greg might do if he saw her again. She wouldn’t put it past him if he attempted to assault her again. Plus, it made her worry about Nathan and how Greg could damage her friendship. Just thinking about that made her nervous. Her hands were sweaty and her breathing was too fast for her liking. She knew he was in panic. She needed to think about what her next step should be. She thought about all possible scenarios and the one that best suited her situation was coming clean with Nathan, before Greg had a chance to ruin anything. She needed Nathan to believe her otherwise, if Greg persuaded Nathan to believe his falsehood, then she could lose not only the friendship but also the contract that she’d signed with Nathan’s company. She couldn’t afford to lose that contract. She was pacing in her living room, trying to figure out the mess she had landed into when ther

Now that she heard it, Brooke remembered that particular day in Hawaii. It was her cousin’s wedding and her entire family had flown to Hawaii for a weekend celebration. Her relationship with Greg was still new and she wasn’t ready to take the next step and introduce him to her family just yet, not unless they were on a strong footing. Greg had offered to accompany her as her date when he had told him that she was going to Hawaii, but she had told him she wasn’t ready yet. She remembered there was a flash of displeasure on face for a second before it was gone. He was quite understanding then, at least he pretended to be. Then came the weekend and Brooke was enjoying the trip with all her cousins and family when Greg had made a dramatic entry at the wedding venue, claiming he loved her and missed her so much that he just couldn't stay away from her. At that point of time, Brooke had thought that gesture was incredibly romantic but now as she reflected o

Early morning the next day, Brooke went through her morning routine and went for her morning walk near the lakefront. She secretly hoped that she could bump into Nathan. After her encounter with Greg had left her terrified. The talk she had with Beth and Steve definitely helped calm down her nerves. But meeting Nathan would definitely help her relax more. She had to admit that whenever she was near him or spent time with him, it always uplifted her mood. No matter where she was or what she was or what she was doing, just getting a glimpse of the man was enough for her to forget about all her worries. Nathan had that effect on her. She just wished that one day Nathan would declare that he was magically single and ready to mingle again. She sighed sadly, knowing that there was a possibility that Nathan’s relationship with his girlfriend was pretty serious because why else would he buy a house for her? She just wished someone would do that fo

Brooke went home and hurried her way through shower and breakfast. She got dressed in a royal blue short sleeved shirt and a white embroidered long skirt, her blue stilettos complimenting her outfit. She made a quick work of her hair in a french knot hairdo and applied just a little bit of make-up. Once she was ready, she drove towards the brewery. She parked her car on the parking block and walked towards the brewery, where Nathan was already there to greet her.“Welcome to the Texas branch of Short Stack Brewing Company.” Nathan greeted her once Brooke approached him. She was looking elegant in her simple dress.Thanks.” Brooke smiled at him. “You didn’t have to stand here for me, you know.”“Well, of course I did. I&rs

Every time, then onwards Nathan visited her, he brought various flavors of beers that Short Stack Brewing Company was currently trying to blend. He would ask if Brooke liked a particular flavor or not. Brooke found it adorable when Nathan went on and on about what ingredients went into brewing a particular flavor, etc. Brooke loved to listen to Nathan talk so passionately about his business. They even had lunch together with Nathan bringing some extra sandwiches or soups that he could share with her. He would invite Brooke back to his office some days, but she always politely declined. They already spent too much time together, enough to raise some eyebrows. She didn’t want to be the topic of gossip all over the town once again. A few months passed and Brooke hadn’t yet received the next installment of raw material. The transport was held back because of a landslide on the route and there was some delay expected. She called Nathan’s office to let him know but he wasn’t there. She call

Nathan's chest was heaving, still buzzing with anger at the audacity of the man. The moment Greg was gone, he rushed towards Brooke. “Are you alright?” Brooke had witnessed everything. It felt almost like a tussle between two Alpha males fighting to win her approval. The way Nathan reacted, the way he punched Greg, the way he threatened the man...all of it threw her off balance. Because Nathan had stood up for her. Her! The guy had a girlfriend, and yet Nathan acted more like he was Brooke’s boyfriend, all red and angry on her behalf. She had expected to hear nonsense when Greg entered. What she never expected was for both Nathan and Gavin to stand up for her, and Nathan going as far as punching the man in the face. She had also heard the threat Nathan issued. It sounded like Nathan was protecting Brooke, but they were just friends and Nathan wasn’t the type of guy who would hit on someone else when he was already in a committed relationship. Was he? Brooke was now thoroughly confuse

Somehow none of this was what Brooke envisioned when she found out Nathan and her were having a baby. She had expected things to run smoothly, like they did for her mother and Nathan’s mother and almost everyone on every television show ever.

Epilogue Three years later... They were standing on the balcony of their bedroom in the mansion, enjoing cup of coffee. Their life hadn't been easy but it was their life - one that they had fought and braved to live. They were happy together. "Come on, let's go inside." Nathan whsipered in her ear and Brooke nodded, following behind him. "You go, I'll just finish up this coffee and come in." "Alright." Brooke sipped her coffee enjoying the view that the balcony gave. Lush green lawns, chirping birds and the peace and quite of the morning was quite enticing. She remebered how Nathan had been her foundation after the attack and Greg's death. The Wilson's had threatned her with dire consequences for the death of their son but Nathan had handled the entire episode extremely well. He was by her side the entire time she recovered. It was just a few months after, once the mansion was ready, when Nathan asked her to move in with him and she had agreed. He had decided to work from the to

Nathan and Gavin were coming back from their short visit and Gavin had just rolled his window down, when he heard gun shots. “What the hell?” He said, looking at Nathan who was on alert immediately. “This road leads to the woods behind the house doesn't it?” Nathan asked. “Yes, but who would be shooting and why?” “There’s no one who lives around here and the woods are prohibited to enter after sun down. Something’s not right. I’ll give the police a call.” Nathan swiftly dialed 911 and gave the details to the dispatch. Another round of shots were fired and Nathan jumped every time a shot echoed in the night, shredding his nerves into tatters. His fingers were digging into the door handle so hard there would surely be indentions left if he were ever able to pry his hand loose. "They're wild shots, Nathan. Whoever is shooting doesn’t have a good aim." Gavin tried to calm him even as he strained to hear better, never taking his eyes off the road. "How do you know?" "The shot

Broole couldn't form a reply. Her heart was beating out of her chest, and her head was spinning. She should have known that Greg would find a way to get to her. It didn't matter how long he had to wait or how far he had to go, he was never going to let Brooke escape him. She shook her head trying to focus on what the man in front of him was saying. "That's okay, I know you're surprised."She flinched back violently when Greg reached out to run his hand down the side of her face. She stifled a yelp when Greg balled a fist in her hair and yanked it up so she was forced to look at her own personal demon."I realize you've forgotten what I expect, but I don't think it'll take long for you to remember." Greg released his grip on her hair. "You know it's a shame Ariana didn’t succeed. I was counting on her," Greg mused. "What?" Brooke choked out."I will now have to force you, won't I?" Greg cocked his head, taking in her stunned expression. “If you don’t come with me, I promise I’ll tak

In the meantime, Brooke got up and went to the bathroom, cleaning herself up. She took a shower and opened Nathan’s closet, dressing up in his black t-shirt and PJ’s which were a tad too long on her body. But she didn’t care. They smelled like him and that made her insanely happy. She walked out of the room and headed towards the kitchen from where voices were coming from. Gavin whistled the moment Brooke stepped in the kitchn. “Look who’s there. Seems like somebody had a great night.”“Shut up.” She grumbled, but couldn’t help smiling as she headed to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water to drink. “Aren’t those clothes too big for you?” Gavin teased, enjoying the dubstruck look on Nathan’s face. “Yeah but I feel comfy…” She shrugged and walked up to the table and sat down on the chair beside Nathan. “You look…” Nathan gulped. He was awed the moment she walked out the room in his clothes and he felt possessive of her. She looked damn great in his clothes. He likes the i

The drive back home was a torture. Nathan went beyond the speed limit at least twice. He made it back to his apartment in record time. They both rushed out of the car and into Nathan’s house as fast as they could. Once they were inside, Nathan all but attacked Brooke. Hot kisses were exchanged. Nathan took Brooke’s lips in a passionate kiss, biting down on her lower lip before he plundered deep inside her mouth, tongue mapping out the ridges inside. They walked towards his bedroom, undressing as fast as they could and stumbled onto the bed, buck naked. Nathan pressed close to her, their private parts coming in contact with each other. It was a bit too much; they started rubbing against each other. Nathan heard Brooke making a happy noise at the back of her throat as she let Nathan control their pace. They kept kissing until Nathan was satisfied that he'd kissed Brooke senseless, her lips swollen and coated in his saliva.Nathan started kissing her everywhere, leaving a trail of kis

Brooke opened the door. “Hi.” Nathan was buzzing with nervous energy and was so excited that he wasn’t prepared on being hit by the beauty bomb that was Brooke and her beauty. The dress, and the big smile she sported with a sparkle in her eyes had a huge effect on him. She looked so beautiful. His mouth went dry but he had to say something. “Hi.” Nathan rasped.Brooke smirked, knowing full well the effect she was having on him. “So you had a great day or are you just happy to see me, Bradford?” She teased, her eyes roaming over his body and stopping right around the visible bulge in Nathan’s pants.It took a bit longer for Nathan to understand what Brooke had said. “Shit.” He covered himself with a hand. “Sorry.”Brooke smiled, “Don’t be. It means this is working.” She pointed at herself. Nathan chuckled and handed over the flowers to Brooke, “These are for you.” “Wow!” Brooke took the flowers in her hands and admired them for a moment. “You didn’t have to, Nathan.”“But I wanted

Once Ariana hurriedly ran away, Noah chasing behind her, Nathan motioned for Brooke to follow him to Noah’s room where he had sent the night alone. He let Brooke inside and closed the door behind him. The moment he turned around, he found himself being pushed against the door and kissed hard within an inch of his life. At first, he was shocked, but when Brooke’s tongue shyly licked along his lower lip, asking for entrance, he readily opened his mouth and kissed Brooke back enthusiastically. “I’m sorry,” Brooke said when they broke apart once the need for oxygen was too much to ignore. Nathan licked around the seam of Brooke’s lower lip and pressed soft kisses along her mouth. “For what?” He held her by her waist and pulled her closer to him, bodies aligning perfectly along each other.“For being a bitch,” Brooke breathed as Nathan kept on kissing her, readily kissing him back. Months of pent-up sexual tension was finally being released. It was like the floodgates were opened and t

Brooke was going to be sick, she was definitely going to be sick when Ariana called for Nathan to come out and she heard the bathroom door open. She closed her eyes as someone padded towards them, not wanting to believe what was going to be very obvious in the next moment. But when she heard someone say her name, she was confused.“Brooke? What are you doing here?” Brooke opened her eyes to see a snickering Ariana looking at him and a confused Nathan standing behind her, clad only with a towel on his waist. But she recognized, it wasn’t really Nathan. It was Noah, Nathan’s twin. Sure they looked exactly the same but their voices were different and she spotted that the moment Noah called her by her name. She was instantly relieved. “I could ask you the same question, Noah. Where’s Nathan?”“Oh, he’s in my room. The next one, right beside this one,” Noah answered, pointing in the direction of the room.“What are you doing in his room? And what the Hell is this woman doing here?” Brook
