One Night

"Or…you could stay…"

Lucas pulled Brooke back down to him, pressing his lips against her own. He didn't know what had given him the courage to do it, probably the alcohol they had both consumed throughout the night, but he didn't care. All he knew was that he loved this feeling, his lips against hers, and he didn't want it to end. In that moment, he wasn't thinking about Peyton or their breakup. He was thinking about how he had gone so long without Brooke Davis in his life. Lucas was surprised to find Brooke kissing him back, and he wondered if she was feeling everything that he was.

"Mmm…"

Brooke moaned into the kiss. She was completely caught off guard when Lucas kissed her. All of her feelings for him came rushing back to the surface with this single brush of his lips. She didn't think she would ever feel this way again. She didn't want to feel this way about him ever again, not after all of the heartache he had caused her in the past. He couldn't possibly still have any feelings for her. He had just broken up with Peyton, her best friend, and she needed to stop this. She needed to stop causing herself so much heartache, because she knew Lucas Scott was the one boy she would lose everything for.

"Okay…" murmured Brooke as she placed her hands against his chest and pulled away from him. She locked eyes with him as she did and immediately noticed the hurt in them. He sat on the bed looking up at her as she stood in front of him. "I think that might be the second stupidest thing you've done in the last twenty four hours."

Lucas sighed as he continued to gaze at Brooke with pleading eyes, and he immediately regretted what had just happened. He didn't want to lose her. He should have known that she was over him by now, even if he wasn't over her. It had been over two years since they were together, but everything about the night they had just shared felt so real and perfect. It was how he wanted things to be…with Brooke.

"Luke, we're not in high school anymore," Brooke started. She had to get it through his head that he was just rebounding because Peyton rejected him. That had to be what he was doing. It couldn't be anything more than that…it just couldn't.

He knew where she was going with this statement, and he didn't want her to go there because this wasn't about Peyton. His relationship with Peyton couldn't even compare to his relationship with Brooke. He cared about Peyton, but he loved Brooke. As he looked her in the eyes, he knew he was still in love with her. He told her a long time ago that he was going to fight for her, and that's what he had to do now.

"I know, Brooke. I'm glad we're not back in high school, because I hurt you so much then. I made you so many promises, and I haven't kept any of them. I'm so sorry. I've been blinded by this idea that Peyton and I are perfect for each other, but we're not. I don't want her. I've never wanted her, but everyone pushed her on me, and made me believe that I was supposed to be with her," explained Lucas.

"You chose her," said Brooke, her voice shaking. Tears filled her eyes, but she wouldn't let them fall. She couldn't believe the effect that he was having on her. Lucas knew she was talking about the night of the state championship basketball game, the night he gave in to the pressures of everyone and got together with Peyton.

"No, I didn't. You pushed me towards her that night. I wanted you, Brooke. You're the one I want standing next to me when all my dreams come true. You were the one I was first with that night, and here you are now," continued Lucas as he continued to melt her heart with his words, "This night has been a realization for me. Pretty girl…"

"Don't call me that," Brooke advised him. She couldn't hold back the tear that instantly rolled down her cheek as he called her by the old nickname he had for her. Lucas stood up and brought his hand to her cheek carefully wiping her tear away. All Brooke wanted to do was kiss him and give her heart what it wanted, but she was hesitant. "I love you, Brooke," admitted Lucas honestly. He felt a huge weight lifted off of his shoulders as he said this; this truth that he had been carrying around for years. "I've never stopped loving you. That day you broke up with me, my whole world fell apart, and I'm finally seeing things clearly again now," he went on. Lucas reached for Brooke's hand and interlocked his fingers with hers. He thought she would pull away from him, but she didn't. "This ring, Keith's ring, it's meant to be on your finger," he said staring deeply into her eyes.

"You can't do this to me, Lucas," pleaded Brooke, "You can't just say things like that to me."

"Why not?" he returned, "It's true. That kiss wasn't me trying to forget about Peyton. This isn't about Peyton. Brooke, this is about me and you. Tell me how you feel, honestly. You can't possibly tell me that you didn't feel anything in that kiss."

Brooke closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She squeezed his hand, their fingers still interlocked. She didn't know how she was going to tell him this. How could she tell him that she was still in love with him after all these years? After all the heartache? Lucas gently put a finger to her chin and tilted her head up to him, causing her to open her eyes and look at him. He was searching her eyes pleadingly for a response. Brooke gazed into his eyes, reading him. This was real. She wasn't dreaming, and she knew in her heart that he was truly being honest with her.

"I love you," she suddenly said just above a whisper.

"What?" Lucas asked in surprise. He knew what she said, but he couldn't believe it. He wanted to smile with happiness.

"I love you, Lucas," repeated Brooke, "I'm in love with you. I've tried to hide my feelings, but I can't do it anymore. I don't want to hide behind my wall anymore. I just want to be happy, and I want you."

Lucas placed his hands on Brooke's cheeks and pressed his lips against hers gently. Brooke moaned at the feeling of his lips against hers. She missed this, and she didn't want this to ever end. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. She felt his tongue brush against her lips. Lucas penetrated her mouth with his tongue as she parted her lips allowing him entrance into her mouth. She tasted the same, and he loved it. The kiss started gentle and sweet as they reunited, but it soon became more passionate as they both fought for the upper hand, their tongues tangled and exploring each other's mouths.

Lucas' hands had made their way to rest on her hips, and he pulled her closer in to him. Brooke immediately felt the bulge in his pants, causing her to gasp. Her inner core was heated with want. She pushed his shirt off his shoulders that she had unbuttoned earlier letting it drop to the floor. They both reluctantly pulled their lips apart as they gasped for air. Brooke gently pushed Lucas down onto the bed. He smiled at her as she kinked her eyebrow, something he loved to see her do. He scooted further up onto the bed, and Brooke followed as she straddled him, causing her dress to slide up exposing her toned thighs to him. Lucas rested his hands on her thighs as they began to kiss again. He ran his hands up and down, each time inching closer and closer to her most intimate area.

Brooke ran her fingers along Lucas' chest, amazed that he had remained in such good shape. He moved his kisses to her neck. He focused his attention on a spot right below her ear that he knew she loved, causing her to moan with pleasure. Lucas moved his hands to the hem of her dress and slowly eased it up as if he were making sure it was okay with her. She reached her hands up over her head to help him take it off. The dress was quickly discarded to join his shirt on the floor, leaving Brooke in her matching black bra and panties. Lucas planted numerous kisses along her collar bone, carefully moving down to her breasts. Brooke reached a hand behind her back and unhooked her bra, allowing it to easily slip off her shoulders. She quickly discarded it to the floor with the other clothing, giving Lucas more access to her chest.

"You're so beautiful, Brooke," said Lucas as he took in the sight before him.

Brooke found herself blushing at the comment, even though he had seen her like this before in the past.

Lucas kissed his way to one of her nipples as he focused his attention there. Brooke ran her hands through his hair, pressing him into her as he sucked on her nipple and gently bit it teasingly. He moved to her other breast, giving it just as much attention. Brooke didn't know how much of this foreplay she could take. She wanted him now, and she could feel the wetness in her panties. Brooke let out another moan of pleasure, and Lucas smirked as he brought his lips back to hers.

"I need you, Lucas," murmured Brooke in between kisses.

Brooke absentmindedly began rocking her hips back and forth, and she felt Lucas' member grow even harder if it were possible. Lucas groaned at the feeling she was causing, and his pants suddenly felt a few sizes too small. Luckily, she had sensed that he needed to be released.

"I want you so bad, pretty girl," Lucas moaned into her ear. Brooke reached for his pants and unzipped them. She slipped her hand underneath his boxers to feel his hardness. His eyes rolled to the back of his head at her touch. He loved the feeling and the effect she had on him. He couldn't take it anymore, and he soon flipped them over.

He moved so that he was on top, allowing her to easily slip off his pants. Lucas kicked them off to the floor, leaving their underwear as the only remaining barrier between them. Lucas ran a hand along her leg up to the area he desired the most. He quickly rid her of the black panties she wore and entered her with two fingers.

"Lucas…" Brooke loved the feeling he was creating inside of her. She needed him now. Lucas felt how wet she was and knew that she was ready for him. Suddenly he felt her hand grab his wrist, causing him to remove his fingers from her. He looked at her confusedly and apologetically worried that he had done something wrong or hurt her. Brooke noticed the pained expression on his face and immediately quieted his concerns with a kiss.

"Don't tease me tonight, Luke. I need you inside of me," said Brooke.

Lucas smiled at the request. He immediately slipped off his boxers, and Brooke glanced down at how big he was. He was a lot bigger than she remember, and she knew it was going to be tight once he entered her considering she hadn't had sex in a while.

He positioned himself above her opening, and he swallowed with nervousness. He wanted everything to be perfect for her. He knew she had probably been with other guys since him, and he wanted to satisfy her. Brooke smiled at him, and he immediately stopped worrying because he knew she loved him. Brooke felt butterflies in her stomach as she felt the tip of him against her folds. He kissed her reassuringly, and Brooke nodded to let him know that she was ready for him.

Lucas eased into her, loving how tight she felt around him. Brooke took a moment to get used to him, but wrapped her legs around his hips once she was comfortable. Lucas began to move in and out of her enjoying the sound of his name escaping her lips. Brooke arched her back and pushed her hips upward allowing him more access. She used her hips to match his movements as they began to move in sync.

Lucas was overwhelmed with sensation at the feeling of Brooke's nipples rubbing against his chest as he began to thrust into her deeply. Brooke's head rolled back in sheer delight as Lucas hit a spot in her she didn't even know about. He brought his lips down to hers in an intimate kiss, and Brooke pulled him tighter towards her feeling the depth of his cock in her pussy like never before. Brooke could sense his orgasm approaching, and she knew she wouldn't last much longer either.

"Brooke…baby…I'm about to…" gasped Lucas as he continued thrusting into her.

Lucas' release finally hit him as he exploded his juices deep inside of her. Brooke couldn't hold it any longer, as she felt herself tighten and contract around his shaft. They shared the rush of ecstasy as they both climaxed.

"Oh…God…Lucas…" Brooke muttered inattentively as she rode out the waves and vibrations tingling throughout her body.

He planted a soft kiss on Brooke's lips before nuzzling into her neck. She suddenly felt empty and incomplete as Lucas pulled out of her. He rolled off of her onto his back, and looked over at her as he caught his breath. Brooke was breathing deeply, her chest rising and falling with each breath.

Brooke cuddled into Lucas, and he wrapped his arms around her keeping her close to him, both of their bodies still radiating with heat. He pulled the sheets up over them and nuzzled into her neck, kissing her gently.

"I love you so much, Brooke," Lucas whispered into her ear.

Brooke smiled at the comment. She wanted to stay in this position forever. She didn't know what would happen in the morning, but she knew that this was real. Part of her was afraid of the next morning, because they both had to be drunk for this to happen. She didn't want to think about tomorrow. All she wanted was to fall asleep in his arms and be in the moment.

"I love you too, Lucas Scott," returned Brooke.

They both relaxed against one another and closed their eyes, soon falling into a comfortable sleep.
