Brooke looked over her old outfits that she for some reason left here but she was internally grateful that her mother kept them. She couldn't believe she allowed Lucas Roe to not only ravage her so thoroughly but to leave evidence of their…passion. Brooke worried her bottom lip as she prayed that her mother didn't ask questions or even better that she didn't notice her blouse downstairs at all. Shaking herself she focused on finding an outfit that she desired.

Finding a red lace dress that she knew would reach mid thigh, she smiled at the memories of her promotion last year. She had been too wasted to make it all the way to her house so she ended up crashing here that fateful night. She ended up going home in her old shorts and tank, leaving this gem behind.

It was a little formal for a barbeque but… Brooke couldn't help the little zing of anticipation of Lucas seeing her in this little number. Considering what had just trespassed between them she let the feeling ride, deciding not to chastise herself over it.

Feeling naughty she also decided not to wear any underwear. Why? She had no clue.

Slipping the dress over her head and down her body she adjusted the fabric until everything was in its appropriate place. Brooke then combed her wet hair until she was satisfied with the results. Combing through her dresser she found some lip gloss and applied it to her lips. Anything else was too much.

Brooke slipped her feet into the backless red heels that happened to match the dress. After observing herself in the mirror and was satisfied with her look for the day she walked out of her room and down the winding staircase, prepared for anything.

"Brooke!" her mother exclaimed as she came inside with what looked like three grocery bags in her hand. "Get down here and help an old woman!"

Shaking her head with an affectionate smile she did as she was asked, taking the heaviest bags from her hands. "Hi ma!"

"Hi baby…there's more groceries out in the car." She said as they made it to the kitchen.

"OK I'll go get them…" she said, passing by the laundry room but came to a complete stop. She noticed that her blouse was still in there. "Shit…" Hurrying she grabbed the reduced rags in her hands and hurriedly threw it away while her mother was busying herself putting the food away. Brooke walked out the house and met Lucas at the doorway. "What are you doing?"

Lucas's dark brow rose in question, "What do you think I'm doing? I'm helping your dad put the food inside."

Brooke ignored the butterflies in her belly and continued with the task at hand. Reaching the car she bent over, her dress riding up until she felt a draft and heard his rugged intake of breath. Knowing that her ass could very well be showing she hurried and got the bags out the car and went inside before anyone else could peak at her goodies.

Lucas licked his lips at the sight of her sans panties and wished like hell that her family wasn't preparing for this little shindig so that he and Brooke could—could what? He asked himself as he carried the last load inside. So we could continue this craziness? He thought scornfully, knowing full well that they couldn't possibly do such a thing. Nathan would literally kill him if he ever found out about what was going on between them.

Taking a few minutes to cool his raging hormones before Lucas headed back inside with the bags he retrieved from the car.

"Good to see you Lucas! Glad you could make it!" Dan Scott exclaimed as he entered the mansion, clapping him on his broad shoulder.

"Good to see you too Dan. Need any help back there?" Lucas asked referring to the double grill in the back patio.

Dan smirked but answered, "I got this son." He then looked at him and said, "But what you can do is make a run to the store and get us four cases of beer, some champagne and some bottles of wine for the ladies?"

Lucas nodded as Dan gave him the cash in his hand as well as the keys to his truck. "Uh sure…but I don't know—"

Brooke snatched the money from Lucas's hands, "Don't worry I know what everybody likes."

"So you're going on the beer run Brookie Cookie?" Lucas sneered, hiding his growing attraction effectively.

"I'm assisting you. Big difference." She said as she sauntered out the door, her heels clicking on the marble floors. "Are you just going to stand there or what?"

Lucas snorted but followed behind her, "Whatever you say Brookie Cookie."

"I told you to stop calling me that!" she said offhandedly as they walked out the front door.

"Whatever you say Brookie Cookie!" he said louder as they both got in her fathers truck. Lucas chuckled in amusement as he witnessed Brooke rolling her eyes as she got in the passengers side while Lucas got in the drivers side. "Whereto?"

Brooke buckled herself in and answered, "Denver's brewery is a good place to start. Their house wines are to die for. You could get the beer there too."

"Alright a one stop shop it is then." Lucas said as he started the truck and backed out the driveway.

"You got that right." She said with a smirk.

Lucas gripped the steering wheel as he navigated through traffic, his mind racing. Finally he came to the conclusion that they needed to talk. "Brooke…"

"Yes?"

He sighed as they came to a red light. "What the hell are we doing?"

"Getting liquor—"

Lucas looked over at her quizzically. "No…us…what are we doing Brooke?"

Brooke bit her lip and answered, "I honestly don't know. I have no clue as to what we're doing or why all of a sudden we can't seem to keep our hands to ourselves…" She gulped, referring to his hand on her knee and the fact that she was not trying to pry his hand away. "But…I'm not going to deny that…I want this…I want you…"

Shocked to the core Lucas looked at her with wide eyed bewilderment, "Hell I never thought you would admit that."

Brooke looked at him puzzled then asked, "Admit what? That I want you? I thought it was obvious back at the house?"

"It was…especially knowing that underneath that sexy dress…you're completely naked." Each word he uttered, his hand moved closer to her promise land. A car horn blared, bringing them back to the here and now. Lucas removed his hand and went back to driving toward Denver's.

"But as much as I want you…we can't do this again—it's not right—"

Lucas nodded, his eyes directly on the road. "I agree…"

"Y-you do?" Brooke asked, unable to believe he'd give in so quickly.

"Yeah as you've said we've pushed our luck enough." He said as he made a left turn, "Besides you know what they say about having too much of a good thing—"

Brooke looked down at her folded hands inwardly fighting with herself and nodded, "Right…"

"Right…" Lucas said, trying his best to convince himself this is the right thing to do. Truth of the matter was—he wasn't convinced. Not in the least.

After ten minutes of driving they arrived at their destination, both consumed with their own thoughts. Clearing his throat Lucas removed the key from the ignition then asked, "You coming Pretty Girl or are you going to sit in this hot ass truck all day?"

Rolling her eyes she stepped out the truck and grabbed her purse. "So you can screw up dad's order? Fat chance."

Lucas grinned and shook his head, slamming the truck door closed. "I'd rather screw you."

Brooke inhaled sharply but she closed her side as well. Flustered she answered, "That may be the case but we both agreed—"

"Get your panties out your ass—oh wait you don't have any!" Lucas smirked, unable to help himself.

Brooke watched Lucas walk off with her mouth agape at his last shot at her. Shaking herself out of it, she followed behind him and began speed walking just to keep up with his fast and long-legged pace through the parking lot. "Would you slow down!"

"What's the matter baby? Can't keep up?" Lucas taunted as he watched her struggle to keep up with his strides.

"First of all don't call me baby and secondly you and I both know that I can keep up with you just fine." She taunted back as they entered Denver's. "So how do you want to do this? Do we get the beers first? Or do we separate?"

Lucas watched a few men pass by them, noticing how they were ogling her he wrapped his strong arms around her then answered, "We go for the beer first darlin' then we'll get whatever your pretty heart desires. Alright?" he asked with a saccharine smile. After the men walked away he released her and went about finding a cart.

Narrowing her eyes she walked beside him. As they browsed the store Brooke looked at him then asked the burning question on her mind. "Lucas why'd you let those guys believe that we're together?"

"Would you rather be harassed or would you rather hurry this up and get back to the barbeque?" He asked nonchalantly as he put in a few cases of Budweiser as well as some imported beer that he was purchasing for himself into the cart she was pushing.

"Harassed is a strong word Lucas…" she replied as she eyed the many choices of beer in the aisle. "All they would've done is ask for my number and that would've been it."

Lucas gave her a look and shook his head, "If you honestly think that's all they would do then you're more naïve than I'd thought."

"Sounds to me like you're jealous." She said in a sing-song voice as she walked around him to pick out which beers her dad would want.

"I'm not jealous." He muttered, as he watched her try to lift a case of beer.

Refusing to give him anymore attention she muttered, "Whatever you say…"

"Let me get that before you break a nail." He said slightly pushing her out of the way.

Brooke smiled and shook her head but moved aside. "I had no idea how much of a male chauvinist you were Lucas."

"I'm not a chauvinist."

"Your former statement proves otherwise." She said in a singsong voice, watching him put case after case of beer in the basket.

"What's next?" he asked after putting in another case of beer.

"I can handle the wine right?" she asked sarcastically as they walked down the aisle. Lucas smirked and said nothing as they entered the wine section.

"So what does the lady enjoy?"

Brooke looked over the choices and grabbed a nice bottle of Merlot, a bottle of cabernet sauvignon and a bottle of pinot noir. Once satisfied she led him to the cash register to pay for their items.

"Are you sure we should stop?" he asked as they drove back.

Brooke looked at him and said, "No I'm not sure. I mean you make me feel things that I never felt before—but it's wrong. Nathan would never forgive us if we continue doing whatever this is."

"Why is it so wrong? We're both consenting adults who happen to want each other."

When she started going down the dead end Lucas asked, "What are you doing?"

"Pulling over."

"We're almost to the house—"

"Lucas…we need to talk and now is a very good time to do it."

"Okay talk."

She turned her entire body to face him, needing to see his reaction to what she had to say. "Do you really think that we should continue this? Do you really think that we could work?"

"Brooke…all I know is that ever since we woke up in bed together I hadn't been able to get you off my mind since. I don't know if we can work but I think that we should at least try it out, see where this takes us. Because I still want you and I know it's the same for you."

Brooke bit her lip, "You're right. We owe it to ourselves to see what happens. But we have to be careful."

"Come here."

Brooke awkwardly climbed over the stick shift and Lucas kissed her slowly, thoroughly and tenderly as he held her in his lap. She moaned, and engaged him fully, tasting him while her hand sifted through his hair. When they parted Brooke looked into his stunning blue eyes. "I can't believe that we just decided to be together. What are we thinking!" she said with an exhilarated laugh.

"I can't either but here we are…" he said with a smile.

"Okay we should get going. And once we're there we act as we normally do." she said before climbing back into the driver's seat.

Lucas couldn't resist smacking her luscious ass which earned him a pleasured squeal then said, "Alright. The sooner we get back the sooner we can leave and do some discovering."

When they got back to the mansion the party was in full swing. Brooke smiled and hugged all her relatives upon seeing them.

"Hey what took you two so long?"

"Um Luke had forgot something at his apartment. Right Luke?"

Lucas nodded, "Yeah I forgot my wallet. Which is what I needed to buy the beer and stuff."

Dan didn't think much of it and led Lucas away. Brooke looked after him but then was called into the kitchen helping her mother and grandmother cook, she was on drinks detail since they had done everything else. Grandma was used to cooking a feast for everyone so she did most of the work while her mother did a few dishes. While fixing everyones drink she spotted Lucas flirting with Peyton and couldn't help the small amount of jealousy that ensued.

Which was ridiculous because they flirted back and forth before and she hadn't been nearly as jealous as she was now—which also didn't make any sense to her.

Could it have been because they had slept with each other? She bit on her lip as flashes of them together flashed unbidden in her memory.

"What are you thinking about?" Lucas asked having snuck up behind her, effectively scaring her out of her wits.

"None of your business." She snapped as she turned and faced him.

"Let me guess…you were thinking about…us…" he purred the last part of his statement. Brooke rolled her eyes as Lucas grinned then sipped. "So you thought about it huh?"

"I'm not going to dignify that with an answer." she then walked away to get more drinks for everyone. Karen and Deb brought the food and fixed plates, giving everyone healthy helpings. Once done with her part Brooke sat down next to Peyton and Haley and prepared to eat only to witness Lucas's harmless flirtations with Peyton which caused her appetite to suddenly decline.

"Man this food is so good." Nathan said as he tore into his plate of food.

"Glad you like it son." Deb said with a gorgeous smile. She then looked at Brooke who hadn't touched her food and asked, "Why aren't you eating Brooke?"

"I'm just not hungry."

Lucas caught her eye and immediately stopped talking to Peyton.

"How are you big brother? How's married life treating you?" she asked diverting attention from her lack of appetite

"Fantastic. It's like living a dream."

Haley smiled at her husband and joked, "Yeah you better say that."

The entire table started laughing and everyone caught up with each other. Every member of the Scott family was in attendance for the weekend of Debra and Dan's anniversary. Some people were staying here with them, like Lucas who was assigned the pool house, while some had made arrangements elsewhere.

"What about you Brooke? When are you gonna settle down?" Grandma May asked, her eyes zeroing in on her granddaughter.

"I don't need to settle down Grandma. I'm fine with being single. You know the saying…so many men so little time." she said, her eyes on Lucas.

Nathan looked at her suspiciously. "What the hell's gotten into you?"

"N-nothing. Excuse me." She got up and walked into the kitchen, needing to cool off. And there she remained until dinner was over. That's when she came back to find Deb gathering plates when Brooke stopped her.

"No mom you and dad had a long day. I'll tackle the kitchen for you." she said as she started gathering the plates and utensils. "Besides I owe you for embarrassing you."

"First of all, you embarrassed yourself. And second why did you say that to May? You know she's going to say that I raised you with no manners."

"I know. I'm sorry. It's just she asks that every… single… time I see her and I ended up snapping." It wasn't the only reason but it was the only reason she could tell her mother about right now. To be truthful it had more to do with Lucas and Peyton than anything her grandmother said.

Deb hugged her daughter then said, "Next time don't let her get to you. Good night sweetheart."

"I'll help you…knowing you, you wouldn't be able to finish anything." he said, having watched the interaction between her and Deb.

"What are you doing in here?"

"I wanted to talk to you. I hadn't seen you all night and if this the only way that we talk then…"

"Just when I thought you were doing something genuinely nice—c'mon…" they then disappeared into the kitchen. They both looked at each other for a moment then Brooke paused and said, "I must have been on glue or something because I thought that we were going to give each other a real shot."

"We are. I am. But we agreed to act as normal as possible and me flirting with Peyton is normal."

Brooke slammed the fork into the dish water then said, "Well it should be safe to say that you should eliminate doing that from now on!"

"Why you're jealous?"

Brooke rolled her eyes and turned her back on him. "Please. I just thought—oh I don't know—that we would be exclusive."

Lucas hugged her from behind then sighed, "We should definitely talk about this later. Preferably in the pool house."

She whirled around to face him then stated, "Now's good. Rule number one: No flirting or sleeping with my best friend. Ever."

"Okay…rule number two: we be honest with each other. No matter what." he said as he practically caged her in, her back against the sink.

"Rule number three: if one of us wants out of this then that's it."

"I think that's enough talk…" he said as he eyes her hungrily. That is until she plopped a bit of chocolate mousse on his face. "Really?"

"It seemed like a good idea…" she said as she smeared another drop on his skin, then laughed as he did the same with her only worse, smearing it over half of her face.

"Yeah so did that."

Brooke gaped at him. "I can't believe you did that!"

Lucas wiped some off of her face with his finger and sucked it off, looking at her directly. Brooke bit her lip at how sexy he looked while doing that, her body heating up considerably.

Lucas kissed her hungrily, pressing her against the refrigerator. Brooke sighed and melted into his kiss, allowing him to taste her fully. He groaned into her mouth and pressed his body against hers, both lost in their own passion.

"I think…we should stop…before we get caught." she moaned as his lips nibbled along her mouth, cheek, and neck.

He hung his head in disappointment then said, "You're right…let's get these done. Then you're all mine."

It was Brooke's turn to eye him hungrily, "I like the sound of that."

After cleaning their faces from the dessert they got started on the kitchen. It took forever to wash every dish, pot and pan in the kitchen. Lucas had insisted on washing while she dried and put them away, all the while trading teasing touches, turning each other on more and more.

"Hey what are you two doing still up?" Haley asked as she walked into the kitchen, wearing a fluffy pink robe that looked incredibly comfy.

Lucas dried his hands and said, "Just got through cleaning the kitchen. And you?"

"Got thirsty. Nathan—"

"For the love of God do not finish that sentence!" Brooke begged with a laugh.

Haley went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. "Sorry. But he is the reason for my thirst."

"Ugh. Okay so I'm going to bed. Goodnight." Brooke said before walking away.

"Wha—" he then clamped his mouth shut.

"So it's kinda surprising that you two weren't doing your usual arguing." Haley said, before taking another drink of water.

Lucas shrugged, "We decided to call a truce in honor of Deb and Dan's anniversary."

Haley nodded, "Ah okay. I figured that it was something. Well lemme get back to that sexy husband of mine. Goodnight Luke."

"Goodnight Hales." he said as he watched her walk out of the kitchen too, leaving Lucas standing there cursing. He shut off the lights and locked up before walking to the pool house only to find Brooke there waiting. In his bed. Wearing absolutely nothing. "Be. Still. My. Heart!" he groaned, the visual beauty of her nakedness taking away his breath while making his heart speed up and his jeans tight with arousal.

"What took you so long?"

"I locked up…I thought you were going to bed…"

She got out of bed and stood toe to toe with him, a sexy smirk on her face. "True. But I never said which bed I was going to did I?"

Lucas leaned down and kissed her slowly, gently and tenderly. Brooke began undressing him eagerly, starting with his black t-shirt and then unbuckling his belt then undoing his jeans. He stepped out of them and his shoes simultaneously. Before he even know what happened she knelt before him and took his length in her mouth.

Lucas eyebrows kinked with pleasure as he watched her take him in without hesitation. "Oh God…Pretty Girl…"

He watched Brooke stick out her tongue so it's flat and broad then lightly pat his penis against it then take him back inside her mouth, the visual driving him as crazy as the act itself. He buried his hand in her silky tresses, almost gripping them as she sucked him off. She then sucked only his tip while lightly running her blood red nails up and down his shaft.

"Oh God Brooke what are you doing to me…" he hissed, feeling her pointed tongue flick against his sensitive head before drawing him in again.

Brooke released him with a pop and put on a face of innocence then stated, "I'm not doing anything to you—yet."

"I'll get you back for this—I promise you!" Lucas swore as she brought him up to climax but then pulled back.

Lucas brought her up to kiss her savagely, walking her back to the bed while never leaving her sweet lips.

Her back hit the bed as they both fell on it, attacking each others lips once again. He thrust a finger inside her, eager to feel her around his fingers. And was pleasantly surprised when she put one of hers in as well, both their fingers moving rhythmically. Lucas followed her lead, knowing that she knew exactly how to pleasure herself, finding that doing it together felt incredibly erotic. He caught every sigh, every hitch of her breath with his lips as they pleasured her together. Her pussy was getting wetter and wetter as they stroked her walls until they both found her G-spot.

Brooke cried out as she shuddered in his arms, then gasped deeply as she experience a deeper pleasure sensation and a repeated series of pulses, until her pleasure grew sharper, deeper and overwhelming. Lucas covered her mouth with his, swallowing her screams as she came around their fingers.

Once they removed their fingers, Brooke took his finger into her mouth, licking off her juices. Lucas almost came at the sexy sight, unable to believe that she did something so inconceivably naughty.

"Fuck…" he rasped, bringing her beneath him instantly. "I want you so goddamn much you have no idea…"

Brooke wrapped her legs around him, her tongue licking the shell of his ear and whispered, "You've become my addiction Lucas…please give me my fix."

Lucas kissed her, in a slow sensual kiss while he slipped inside her. He didn't stop kissing her as his body rocked into hers, matching the rhythm of their engaging kiss. Brooke moaned in his mouth, ecstasy flowing through her entire body, from the roots of her hair to the tips of her fingers and toes. He bent his head and took a nipple between his lips, sucking her there.

"Don't stop." she moaned, gripping his hair tightly. "God you feel so good inside me!"

Lucas increased the pace a bit, needing more. His lips took the other peak into his mouth, loving the way she tasted against his tongue. He groaned as he felt her fingers discovering the ridges of his back, her touch inflamed him.

Brooke moaned sharply as he gave her one swift thrust, hitting her sensitive places. "Lucas…yesss…"

He angled her slightly and went deeper, stroking her proficiently causing an echoing ripple of pleasure through them.

Brooke brought his mouth back to hers and kissed him, her tongue battling with his as he continued to move within her, his hips pumping into her hot cunt. She hissed from the pleasure his body wrought within her, seeing stars again as he worked her expertly.

Lucas felt her bite his lip sensually and rewarded her with a swift thrust, unable to help himself. He felt her ripple around him giving him that tale tell sign that she was approaching her climax.

She lifted her butt and clinch her thighs right before she climaxed, making it more intense. She cried out his name just as she went over, her fingernails raking his back, completely lost in bliss.

Lucas was not far behind, now gripping her hips as he took his own pleasure selfishly, now fucking her hard and fast, unwittingly making her orgasm once more to the point tears leaked from her eyes. Lucas clenched his teeth and finally came, his orgasm intense and encompassing, making him bellowing her name to the rafters.

A weakened Lucas rolled to his back, bringing her with him, somehow keeping them connected.

"That was amazing!" Brooke purred, her head resting on his solid chest.

"I just need you to not move for a second…" he said, feeling a bit too sensitive.

Brooke smiled and snuggled close to him, closing her eyes, allowing sleep to take her, deeply satisfied.
