It's been a week since the kiss and even though she had asked him if she would see him the next day Brooke had been avoiding Lucas like a plague ever since. She even locked the door just so he couldn't get in. She had been confused and was fighting the desires that plagued her ever since that spontaneous kiss.

But today Brooke decided to face her irrational fears and walked over to Lucas house to apologize for both avoiding him and for initiating the kiss. She had always been the type to face her issues head on, so she knew she needed to apologize to him for using him to ward off Julian and then pushing him away because she enjoyed his kiss too much. Way too much. Although that last part would remain a secret.

Lucas opened the door, only wearing faded jeans, his upper body and feet were completely bare.

Brooke's eyes zeroed in on his amazing looking chest, the beads of sweat clinging to his lusciously tanned skin. It made her mouth feel dry. She swallowed thickly then said, "Oh. Um, I didn't mean to interrupt."

He squinted at her, The glare of the sun near his eyes as he said, "You didn't. What can I do for you Ms. Davis?"

"I'm sorry for kissing you out of the blue last week…and I'm really sorry for avoiding you." she blurted, her brain seemingly fried from the sight of his sexy chest and abs, "Truth is I had no right to bring you into my drama—"

"Don't be worry about it…I'm here for you in anyway you need—" When Brooke's eyebrow hiked at the double meaning he winced and said, "I don't mean in THAT way—of course if you want—I'm gonna shut up now."

Brooke giggled, liking seeing him so flustered. "I know what you meant. So we cool?"

"Of course. Although a little warning next time you wanna shut me out. I really needed my muse."

"I'm sorry…" Her eyes seemed to be glued to his pecs again as she said, "My friends should be here in a few days so if you hear a racket from my place just know it's them."

Lucas had to grin, flattered that she was eyeing his chest so hard, feeling that it even the field quite a bit. Considering that he was very attracted to her.

"Is that all you came over here for?"

"Pretty much…" she said, finally meeting his eyes. "I'll see you later."

Lucas watched her walk back to her house, a friendly smile on his face when she turned and looked at him. He waved and she followed the action with a brief wave and entered her house.

Brooke had to fan herself, the image of Lucas Scott's bare chest up close and personal had her feeling overly warm. It wasn't something she hadn't seen before, she thought while remembering the time she saw him eating in nothing but a towel in his kitchen. But to be close enough to touch…

Especially after their passionate kiss that night…Brooke bit her lip and flopped down on her favorite sofa, her mind occupied by those drugging kisses and his naked chest and the need to combine the two…

"Brooke stop it! It was just a stupid kiss that was made under duress. It's nothing to obsess over! Sure it was a really great, hot kiss…but it's never happening again so brain stop bringing it up!"

"Do you always talk to yourself?"

Her eyes popped open and she saw Lucas standing over her. "How much of that did you hear?!"

"The tail end. The brain stop bringing it up part. What was that about anyway?"

Brooke sat up then said a hasty, "Nothing! Um, what are you doing here?"

Lucas pointed to the door and said, "Oh the door was open and I was wondering if you would wanna go for a run with me? Get some fresh air…" She noticed that he had on blue basketball shorts and a sleeveless white shirt, his biceps looked moderately strong.

Brooke decided to tease him and asked with a convincing hitching eyebrow, "Are you suggesting that I'm fat?"

"NO! I think you have an amazing figure."

She grinned brightly, her dimples popping out. "I'm glad you noticed. So why invite me?"

"It's just that I figured we're always hanging out inside and it would be nice to go out for a change especially since it's so nice out…unless you don't—"

Brooke smirked and stood toe to toe with him as she said, "Actually I do! In fact I bet I could run circles around you!"

His eyebrows shot up at her cockiness, "Oh?"

"Yeah."

He smiled and crossed his arms, those arms looking bigger as he did so. "You sound mighty confident."

"Well I guess you'll see soon." she said before going upstairs to change. Brooke found her pink and black Adidas workout outfit and changed out of her T-shirt and jeans. She then got dressed, put on her running shoes and pulled her hair into a high ponytail.

Brooke walked downstairs and smiled when Lucas whistled with appreciation, his eyes on her creamy bare midriff.

"Ready to get dusted?" she asked as soon as she was close enough to him.

"Ha we'll see about that."

They headed out and started at a easy pace, Brooke had smiled as she passed him, Lucas however chose to stay behind, his eyes admiring the view of her luscious backside.

"Come on slowpoke!" she taunted.

Lucas smirked and easily caught up to her. "If this were really a race I would actually smoke you."

"Let's make it one!"

They raced down the street neck and neck around the block until a sudden storm made its appearance and the rain fell heavily, saturating them as well as the ground completely. They ran for it, heading for shelter. Lucas grasped her hand and dragged her along as they ran toward his house in the cold stinging rain.

Brooke and Lucas bent over and panted, trying to regain their breath as soon as they reached the safety of his front porch.

They jolted in unison as the sound of booming thunder echoed through the air just as frightening yet beautiful streaks of lightening lit up the sky as the torrential rain continued on, only now the blowing wind blew the water sideways and onto their already soaked bodies.

"Oh my God Luke hurry and get the door open! I'm freezing!"

"Alright hold on a minute!" he then swore as his hands were trembling so much that they fumbled with the keys longer than they should've.

He finally unlocks the door and allowed her to enter first before shutting the door behind them. He tossed the keys on the coffee table and said, "Man, that came outta nowhere."

"Tell me about it!" she said with a shivery chuckle as she removed her top, leaving her in her white lacy bra. She then kicked off her running shoes and pulled down her black joggers, needing to get out of the soaked clothing.

Lucas who had been locking up, turned around to find Brooke stripping out of her joggers. "Whoa what are you doing?!"

Stepping out of her joggers Brooke answered him saying, "I don't want to let propriety and drenched clothing give me a really bad case of the common cold. Anyway think of this as a white bikini—"

Lucas eyes practically ate up the curves she boldly revealed, the way the material clung to her skin and could see the dusky pink areolas and the way they puckered from the cold, and said huskily, "Um, that happens to be see through because of the rain?"

"What?" she looked down and groaned with embarrassment. "Oh!"

"Yeah…"

Brooke fought down the embarrassment and said, "Well what are you waiting for?"

His mind was telling him to stop looking but he was frozen. He barely heard her because the blood was pounding in his eardrum, "What?"

She looked at him boldly then said with a little laugh, "Duh, your clothes are soaked through too. Besides I showed you mine…it's your turn to show me yours. So strip. Unless you're too afraid…"

Brooke had no idea why she taunted him like that or where the boldness even came from but whatever possessed her to say it also made her desperate to see his body again.

"You think I won't?"

She shrugged innocuously, a sparkle in her hypnotizing green eyes, "Prove me right or prove me wrong. It's completely up to you."

Lucas smirked and ripped off the soaked through sleeveless shirt and dropped his blue basketball shorts with a wet plop on the tile floor, leaving him in his wet blue plaid boxers.

It was Brooke's turn to hungrily devour the sight of his incredibly toned yet very beautiful body, every muscle was tanned and wet and tempting. Her mind went fuzzy just as it had in the club a week ago. Everything seemed to happen in a blur…she didn't know who made the first move or just how they came to be standing so close in the middle of the living room but she had no desire to stop it.

Her eyes took in the incredibly handsome man from his spiked dripping blonde hair, darkening blue eyes, his dangerous yet luscious curving mouth, and the cute dimple in his cheek.

"I have the weirdest urge to kiss you…" she whispered, her eyes locked on his lips.

The air crackled between them as he stared down at her with those deep blue eyes, licking his lips as if she were his prey. "Really? That's funny because I was just about to kiss you."

"What are you waiting for?" she asked, their lips now scant inches apart.

"Absolutely nothing…" Then there were no words. Lucas lips lowered on hers passionately, pressing himself against her, her taste drowning out all thoughts.

Brooke moaned as she gave in and kissed him back, varying their kisses from soft, long kisses to hard and passionate kisses that seared their blood. Lucas groaned, burying his hands in her slowly wet silky hair as he deepened the kiss even further, tasting every crevice of her mouth.

She kissed him fiercely, clutching the back of his head, her fingers grasping his spiky hair, indulging in his warm seductive taste. Her body caught fire and responded to him passionately.

"Oh, God!" she whimpered, feeling his lips suckling her neck, his hands holding her midriff, the safe zone on her body. "I need your hands…here!" she panted impatiently, planting his strong hands on her breast.

Lucas chuckled as they somehow made their way to his bedroom. He pressed her against the door and took her mouth again, his body heating up considerably as his tongue fused with hers tasting her sweet sumptuous mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her body closer to his incredibly hard body. His hands smoothed over her ass and squeezed her cheeks, seducing her senses as he nibbled along her neck. She moaned and offered her neck to him, his lips and teeth hitting her hot spot. She shuddered and somehow managed to take over and kissed him with a wild passionate kiss, her teeth grazing his lips, sliding her hands over his powerful pecs.

He broke the kiss and panted against her kiss-swollen lips, "Wait—wait! Are you sure you want to do this? Because if we keep going and you change your mind—"

Brooke nodded also breathless, "Yes…I'm sure." She felt his heart beneath her palm, how it pounded against it. She swallowed and looked into his eyes, "I feel so alive when you kiss me. I feel alive when you touch me…I feel alive touching you… and I haven't felt that in so long…I want to keep feeling alive Luke. Please?"

Lucas kissed her once more, groaning as she sucked on his bottom lip before deepening the increasingly hot kiss, devouring her. He lifted her up and she hurriedly wrapped her thighs around his hips as he carried her over to his bed.

"Are you really—"

Brooke leaned up on her elbows and snapped, "I swear if you ask me one more time if I'm sure that I want to do this I will scream!"

"Oh, you'll scream alright…"

"All talk…" she then took his mouth again in a brief staggering kiss.

Lucas skillfully unsnapped her front clasp and peeled the wet garment away, baring her breasts. He licked his lips in anticipation before making a trail of kisses down her neck, chest to the top of her left breast. She gasped and arched into his heated mouth as he sucked the taut peak between his lips, the pressure of the suction mild and yet astounding, sending jolts of pleasure throughout her body.

Lucas switched breasts, giving the other just as much attention. Brooke was feeling every muscle of his broad shoulders, down the corded muscles of his arms and his rippled back as he dined on her breast. She yelped as he pinched her left nipple while he softly scraped her right with his teeth.

"Ohh Luke…" she moaned, his lips now making a journey lower. He dipped his tongue into the indentation of her belly, sending liquid fire through her system arrowing to her now aching pussy.

Lucas looked at her aroused expression as he pulled down her soaked panties, and swore he had never seen anyone sexier than the woman beneath him.

When he pulled the garment down to her feet he pressed a brief kiss to her instep and tossed the panties by the wayside. He spread her thighs and kisses his way up her creamy leg, the curve of her knee, her slender thighs to the promised land.

His eyes devoured her center, the curls trimmed nice and neat, the lush pinkness of her sex made him practically quiver with his desire for her.

Brooke whimpered and shuddered as his fingers slowly, leisurely explored her, caressing her lips as well as the tightening bud. She hissed as he made passes over her clit, circling it slowly yet firmly, ensuring just the right pressure. Brooke bit her lip then moaned as he drove her up the wall. Then it all stopped.

"What are you do—ahh!" she cried in surprise, gripping the sheets on his bed as his lips wrapped around her clit. "Ohh… God Luke!"

Lucas groaned as he consumed her, suckling the hard little nub at his leisure. Brooke hissed and bucked, taken aback by the unexpected erotic jolt that coursed through her system. She cried out in pure pleasure as his thick fingers entered her, stoking her mounting ecstasy.

Lucas was focused on her sole pleasure, searching for her sweet spot. When she suddenly cried out "holy fuck!" with a shudder, he knew he found it. He kept caressing the bundle of nerves until she cried his name, her body tensing as her sweet juices filled his mouth. But he didn't stop, he continued pressing against her G-spot, which pushed her higher and higher as he continued kissing the engorged pearl that drove her completely crazy. She kept coming and coming until she was boneless.

"Please tell me you have a condom somewhere in here!" she panted as Lucas nipped at her breasts.

"And if I don't?"

"We should have talked about this before…I don't have any diseases but I don't want to get pregnant."

"Just so you know I'm completely clean too. And you're right we should've talked about protection but I want you so much…I wasn't thinking about anything other than you agreeing to this."

Brooke kissed his lips, "So do you have any protection?"

Lucas opened his bedside table drawer and grabbed a Magnum from inside. "We're really doing this…"

"Yep we're really doing this."

Lucas took off his boxers, revealing his cock to her hungry gaze.

"Oh fuck…" she rasped, her eyes lowering to his very large erection as he put the barrier over his length.

He then crawled over her, positioning himself between her splayed thighs and he entered her slick cavern. "Aahh yes!" she moaned, loving how his thickness filled her to capacity, despite the slight discomfort due to his size. He was much bigger than she was used to.

Lucas hanged over Brooke, focusing his strength on his outstretched arms and knees, with his hips spread apart but feet together. Brooke's legs were close to Lucas's elbows as he started stroking slowly, deeply. Brooke needed to touch him so she caressed his hips and ass, taking a firm hold of him.

Lucas groaned, the slightest touch igniting his pleasure to higher heights as he worked his hips into hers steadily, deliberately, driving her crazy.

Lucas slowly increased the pace going from slow, to mild. "Lucas! Mmm! Yes, right there!" she groaned as his hard cock hit her hot spot, giving her an oversupply of pleasure. "Ohh you feel so good inside me!"

Lucas mouth took hers and all she could do is melt into their kiss and he in turn melted into her. His groans of pleasure skyrocketed her lust tenfold, even more so when she pressed closer, her tongue tangling with his lustfully.

He broke the kiss as her walls gripped him tighter then stared down at her and growled, "Jesus! What are you doing to me Pretty girl?"

"I…ooh…should ask…fuck…you the same…mmm!"

Brooke made a keening noise, turned on even more by his piercing eyes and deep penetration. Brooke could feel the connection between them growing deeper just his body was going into hers. She cried out, moving with him as best as she could.

"Oh God I'm c-coming! I'm coming! Aahhhhh yes!" she cried just as she came hard on his dick, feeling the sensation eclipse her entire body.

"Shit I'm right there with yoouu!" he groaned shortly after as he also came inside her, shuddering as he felt the ecstasy encompass anything he had ever experienced sexually.

They held each other for a little while, trying to regain their senses. The storm was still raging, the rain pounding on the window and roof.

"Wow…that was…mmm…" she purred, luxuriating in the afterglow of their shared passion.

"Same to you…" he panted as he laid on his back, completely worn out.

Brooke smiled blissfully as she settled over his solid chest, "It's rare that I'm rendered speechless…but God…you made me feel so much…you were in me in ways Julian never had been."

"What does that even mean?" he asked with a chuckle.

"You were in my head, you just knew…instinctively what I needed and how I needed it…God! It was incredible!" she said as she let out an exhilarated sigh.

Lucas loved the satisfied glow that settled over her, making her even more gorgeous than she already had been. "How long has it been since you've done this?"

"It's been a long time. Half a year almost. And longer than that if we're talking about good sex." At his stunned look she shrugged, "All I had time for was quickies and then even those ceased to happen because I ran a multi billion dollar company."

"No wonder you were so responsive. And to be honest I wanted to do that ever since we kissed."

"Me too. I didn't want to admit it but that's the reason I avoided you for so long because…I had a feeling this would've happened eventually."

"I figured it was because you were scared…"

Brooke shook her head, "I was scared but it was more of I didn't want to seem like a slut because I just got out of a relationship and I just met you—"

"None of that matters to me. Brooke you are nowhere near a slut. If you were…well it wouldn't have taken us this long to get here."

Brooke shuddered as Lucas stroked her back, her body now sensitive to his every touch, "I kinda wish I were one now."

Lucas laughed and brought her close. "Well this doesn't have to be a one time thing you know. It's totally up to you."

"Well…" she said softly as her hand dipped down and encircled his soft member in her hand. "In that case…do you mind an encore?"

Lucas hissed as his dick hardened beneath her touch. "I think I can manage that…"

-x-

Hours later Brooke looked at him over the rim of her cup, standing at the sink in his boxers while she was dressed only in his pure white button down shirt. The storm was still raging outside and the lights had flickered on and off a few times, scaring her to the point that Lucas had to distract her by kissing her and they would give into their desires again.

Brooke bit her lip as the memories swamped her mind, the way he touched her, the way he kissed her, how he held her close to his body as he moved inside her…

"You're blushing…"

She chuckled softly then admitted, "I'm reliving some very hot memories in my head."

Lucas walked up to her, his swagger heating her blood. "Oh? What could possibly put that look on your face?"

Her eyes peeked at his tented boxers and arched a brow, "You know…"

"I want you to tell me…" he said as he towered over her as she sat at his table.

Brooke met his stare boldly then answered him, "I was thinking the best feeling in the world is having you inside me, our bodies pressed tightly together and slick with sweat…"

"God have mercy…" With a yelp from Brooke Lucas lifted her from her chair and placed her on the tabletop, his mouth devouring hers hungrily.

She urgently pulled his boxers down and moaned loudly when he thrust inside her. The table shook with their movements and Brooke held on tight as he rode her, scratching his back as her pleasure mounted. Lucas groaned deeply as he pounded away, whispering filthy words in her ear, only slowing a few times to press every nerve ending to heighten her pleasure. Then they reached their peak together, both trembling from the force of it.

"I am not going to look at this table the same way again…" Brooke chuckled as she felt Lucas withdraw from her a few minutes later, but then stopped as she realized that they forgot one major thing. "Oh my God!"

"What?" he asked as he pulled up his boxers.

"You didn't wear a condom this time!"

Lucas eyes widened, "Shit you're right…I'm sorry I got carried away—"

Brooke shook her head and hopped off the table and tried to remain calm saying, "I'm clean, you're clean…all I have to do is go to Walgreens and take Plan B—" Thunder interrupted her thought process and she shivered.

Lucas held her close to him then asked, "You really hate storms huh?"

"Yeah, Lightening storms always freaked me out. I hope it passes soon."

"I do too."

Her stomach began rumbling and they were reminded of why they had came there. Lucas released her and washed his hands then looked into the fridge and found some leftovers his mom dropped over from last night. "I got leftover zucchini lasagna if you—"

"That sounds great right now! I'm starving!" Brooke said as she wiped the table off with a cleaning rag.

Lucas took out the pan and placed it on the countertop and cut a few squares from the dish and placed one large square on a plate and then two on his plate. He placed Brooke's plate in the microwave and reheated it for three minutes. After hers was done the electricity shut off, leaving the house in complete darkness.

"Shit!" he looked out the window and found that there was no lights coming from anyone's houses. "It looks like the entire neighborhood is out. Hang on I got some flashlights and candles in the closet. I'll be right back."

Brooke found a seat and sat down. She heard muttered curses and noises coming from down the hall and asked, "Are you okay back there?"

"Yeah! I just banged the hell out of my knee on something!" he called back. Ten minutes later Lucas came back flashlights and candles in hand. "Found em. I knocked down a lot of shit to get em but I finally found them. Along with some matches."

They shared an intimate candlelit dinner and they discussed where they wanted their characters to develop.

"Wow so…Michael manages to set up Candice with his friend? Even though he's now feeling something for her?" Lucas asked as he polished off a bite of his cold food.

"Yeah, because he thinks he's no good for her because of his past. But at one point she'll tell him that just because you had a dark past doesn't mean you can't have a bright future."

"That's really deep."

She flushed with pride and said, "Thanks…what about your characters? Where do you see them going?"

"I'm not sure yet…Mallory is definitely a surprise and her connection with Charlie is only getting deeper. And I think you're right about Gwen. The more I write the more she seems like the villain."

"So just curious…are you going to write any love scenes in your story or is it tame?"

Lucas paused and said, "I may. What about you? Is that what you're planning?"

"Of course. I read a lot of dirty girl books to aid my knowledge on the subject. And plus I now have some inspiration to go with it." she said with a wink.
