Daisy stared at the bruise on his face and sighed. He looked at her with a raised brow and she smiled. "Stop beating yourself up." He ordered sternly, hugging her closer. Of course she couldn’t hide her mood from him with just a smile. He saw right through her. Brett caught her face in his hands and stared deeply at her. "It’s over and done with. Forget it."She reached out and ran her fingertips over the place where she saw the bruise. "It needed to happen," he said curtly. "No." Daisy insisted."Just listen to me, Sunshine." He chided. "I thought I understood your feelings about Lana. I knew you didn't like the fact that I was cordial with her. But I had no clue I was hurting you so bad by insisting not to put a distance between us. I was a self-centered idiot, and I'm deeply sorry."I’m not dealing with it well. I can’t think about her without feeling violent." Daisy confessed."I get that now. I didn’t before." His mouth twisted ruefully. "Sometimes it takes a lot to shake me
"You should get some sleep." Brett said, a couple of minutes later. "I'm not feeling sleepy." Daisy replied. "Where are we now?" "Less than an hour away from Lakeview." "It's such a long road trip. We could have taken a flight." Brett nodded. "But that wouldn't give us the opportunity to sort out this heavy log hanging above our heads. Sunshine." He called caressing her hair. "Henceforth, you'll never have to worry about Lana. I'll make sure of that." Daisy felt a warmth spread through her skin. She thought of all the work and time Brett had put in to make sure they had this weekend to themselves. He had worked so hard over the week, taking up more tasks than usual. Just for the two of them. And here she was, giving him so much stress. She's supposed to be his peace, sort of. He's been nothing but honest with her. If he's ever open up to her about something, he'll always tell the truth. And he's bent all his rules for her, making her understand that she had him and he was
Daisy placed her head on Brett's string shoulder. She felt good, it's been a while since she felt that good, and she was grateful to Brett for giving them the time away to enjoy each other. They were perfect together when they were alone. "I can't wait to see the lake house." She told him. "You look being close to the lake?" She nodded. "I’ve always loved being close to the water. My father has a lake house. We've been there for holiday a few times. I remember walking along the shore with my mother during one of our times there and thinking I would buy something on the water for myself one day." He squeezed her hand and draped his free arm around her shoulders. "So let’s do it. How about we see the lake house and if you love it, we can buy it." Daisy glanced up at him, loving the feel of his arm on her shoulder of. "Is it the lake house for sale?" He looked down at her. "Everything’s for sale at the right price. We'll buy it, if you like it. And we'll get a good interior
Brett and Daisy arrived back in Fairview just before midnight on Sunday. They spent their weekend mostly in each other's arms and company. Enjoying the smooth feel of the lake, the amazing view. Most of their day was spent kissing and touching, encroaching each other's space in a good way. Laughing and whispering. By silent agreement, they didn’t talk about painful things during the rest of their time away. They didn’t turn on the television or radio, because it seemed wrong to share their little time with anyone else but themselves. They walked around the lake, made long, slow, lazy love on literally any spot they found appealing. Since their privacy was ensured, Daisy ended up wearing the only two pieces of dresses Brett kept for her and none of those dresses kept anything hidden from Brett. A dress that allows his hands to trail and his cock to twitch at random. "I must have died and gone to heaven!" He had exclaimed when he saw her put on one of the dresses after taking a
The following morning passed swiftly. Brett had woken up quite early and made jokes that he didn't want to experience having maids choke him. He left after making sure that Daisy was fine and promising to come back to be with her after work. But later in the day, after a checkup by the doctor, Daisy suggested that she go back to her apartment with Ugo. Of course, Bridget argued and tried convincing them to stay but with Ugo agreeing with her friend, poor Bridget gave up. Daisy took permission from work and later in the evening, with Brett's help, they moved Ugo back to Daisy's apartment. With the agreement that Ugo would spend a couple of days with her. Brett was able to call the Nurse from the other day and they had her stay with Ugo while Daisy resumed work the day after. The next day started pretty much swamped for her. There were checklists of follow-ups waiting from the week before, and Donald had an impromptu meeting scheduled for ten thirty. By the time her Boss's meeting wa
They were out in public together, in a fancy restaurant, having a meal together, like they were on a date. And it was all messing with Daisy's already confused and scattered head, because of Brett. She sighed and looked at Ray. "I had the biggest crush on you, Ray. I desperately wanted to be your girlfriend." "Are you kidding me?" He reached out and caught her hand. "What the fuck happened, then?" She looked down, seeking for more strength to speak her mind. "Remember when we went to that party at North Pole?" "Yeah. I could never forget that." He bit his lower lip, clearly recalling how she'd fucked Ray's brains out in the back of his car, determined to be the best lay he’d ever had so he wouldn’t bother with other girls. "At that point, I thought we were getting to the point where we’d start seeing each other outside the shows, hotels, bars, but then when I went to the ladies to clean up....... when I came out, you and some of your friends were at the bar. You had you
The SUV was waiting at the curb when Daisy stepped out of the restaurant. Ben climbed out and opened the rear door for her. "How did you know where I was?" She asked, unsettled by his unexpected appearance. His answer was to smile kindly and bow slightly from the waist. "This is creepy, Brett," She complained as she slid into the backseat. "I agree with you Miss Ledwig. But I'm just doing my job. Ben dropped her off in front of the L-building, and she hurried into the lobby. She managed to catch an open elevator just before the doors closed. There were about three more people in the car with her. She stood in the front corner and tried to put her personal life out of her mind. Reminding herself that she was at work and the worst thing she could do would be to deal with her personal issues at work. The other people in the elevator all filed out and she was all alone, hoping to alight on the next floor. But the elevator didn't stop. Causing her to become alarmed. She moved c
The moment she walked into the house, she saw Ugo spawn on one of the chairs in the sitting, remote in hand, swiping through Tv channels. "Where's the Nurse?" Daisy asked."I sent her home. I'm fine, not some invalid." Ugo replied lazily. "Just a couple of plaster here and there. How was work?"Daisy nodded. "Not too bad.""You look like crap," she said, muting the television. "Look who’s talking," Daisy shot back, feeling too raw to take any criticism. "I got mobbed by some crazy ass kids while wearing an eight inch heel. What’s your own excuse." Daisy arranged one of the throw-pillows absentmindedly, while Ugo watched her, certain that something was troubling her."I had lunch with Ray. He wants another chance with me. I can't even believe that.""What! That's... not unexpected. Was it because of the kiss?""Don't know what his deal is, honestly.""Bet he ruined your day.""My whole day, yes.""Daisy baby," Ugo drawled. "I want to sympathize with you," she said sitting. "I reall
