Brooke had taken her vacation early as soon as Jamie expressed his excitement about staying at the beach house. Saying that she would work from her second home as soon as they got there. After many hours in his SUV Brooke ran up the steps to unlock the door to the two story house.

It was just as she remembered it. Cream and eggshell white trimmed walls, tasteful cream colored furniture, a large state if the art entertainment Center and book shelves decorated the living area, a roomy modernized kitchen and dining area, the rooms were basically all the same. Boring. Dull.

Lucas carried their bags into the house and found himself saying, "How many rooms did you say there were?"

She smiled as she looked at a picture of her and her dad on the tennis court. "Four bedrooms and two and a half baths. Two bedrooms down here and two upstairs." Brooke answered, glad that her parents at least kept the place cleaned even if they had no intention of staying there. "There's also a pool out back and a tennis court."

"Sweet!" Jamie exclaimed, running off to explore the house.

"Okay sleeping arrangements…Jamie can have the room down the hall and to the left. You can have the upstairs bedroom that's to the right side."

"And you?"

For some reason she found herself saying, "I will be across from you."

Lucas smiled, "Ah…well I'm gonna go get settled in."

Brooke grabbed her bags and got settled in as well. After putting away all her clothes, setting up her lotions and toiletries, she took a brief nap, feeling tired from the long drive. When she walked downstairs she found Jamie sitting at the bar with a bowl of cereal. "Mini Luke!"

"Hey Aunt Brooke…can you ask dad if you can take me to the skate park?" Jamie asked before shoving a spoonful of cereal in his mouth. His second bowl after promising not to go into Lucas room.

"Why what's at the skate park?"

"There's this girl I met last summer…we've been keeping in contact on Facebook and I told her I would be in this area and she sent me a message last night telling me to meet her there."

Brooke looked at him and said, "Dude you're eight! You're already getting messages from girls?"

"What can I say? It's the Scott charm. Anyway we're just friends. Not like how you and Dad are friends…but we're actually really friends."

Brooke gaped at him, "What does that mean?"

"It means that I caught dad checking you out more than once when we were bowling. And I saw you looking at his butt this morning."

She ignored the part of Lucas checking her out and decided to address the other thing he said, "I was not checking out his butt! There was something on his pajamas—"

"And how would you know if you weren't looking?"

She chuckled and shook her head, "You should be a lawyer."

"Please can you ask him?"

She rolled her eyes then exhaled, "Fine. I'll go ask."

Brooke opened the door to find Lucas undressing, his shirt was on the bed, revealing his deliciously toned muscles. He was just standing there in his navy blue boxers, in all his tanned glory. Her mouth went dry while her lower regions moistened as she said, "Oh! Oh, I, uh, didn't mean to interrupt."

"You didn't." he said with an easygoing smile. "What's up?"

She could not tear her eyes away from his lean muscles, or how tasty they looked. How she just wanted to… "Oh. Right, um…I, uh, really forgot what I came in here to say…" she said with an uncomfortable chuckle.

He looked at her with a faux confused expression at first but then grinned, "Really? Must not have been that important then…"

"No it's about Jamie…" she said, her eyes still drinking in the sight of him, "Right! Now I got it! He wanted to go to the skate park to meet his girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" He asked as he pulled his shirt over his head.

Brooke entered boldly into the room and sat on the bed, "Otherwise known as a girl that is also a friend. You know what I've been to you for years."

Lucas pulled on his jeans and said, "Does she also have sex dreams about Jamie like you had of me?"

Unbidden memories from those dreams sprang to mind and she had to rasp, "That's not fair! I knew that I shouldn't have told you!"

"I wasn't aware that we were playing fair." he then smirked sexily and for the first time outside of her dreams Brooke felt the building attraction between them. "Besides haven't you heard all's fair in love and war?"

"Can he go or not?"

Lucas chuckled, "I'll take him in a minute."

"Fine…I'll see you guys later. I got a lunch date anyway."

Lucas smug smile slipped as he asked, "With who?"

He noticed that she was wearing her sexy white lace halter top, and suede orange skirt with a few gold designs on the front. Her hair was down and wavy. She looked fantastic.

Brooke smirked, "Don't worry about it."

-x-

"God everytime I look at him I feel like a pervert. All I see is sex." Brooke admitted with a sigh. "And what I want to do to him or what I would love for him to do to me! It's insane! I need a shrink!"

Rachel Gatina's a very close friend that Brooke's known for years. They had a lunch date every month for the past eight years and traded stories about their jobs, love lives, and friends. Rachel is a model who is also a free spirit and firecracker so no man could keep her long. She always had entertaining stories to tell her. But this time Brooke needed their meeting to talk her out of her attraction to Lucas. But of course Rachel had to veer off course.

"Seems to me like you are really into your best friend." Rachel said as she speared a piece of asparagus with a fork.

Brooke shook her head, "I'm not…I'm not! It's just been a really long time since I've had sex and my libido is desperately grasping at straws is all—"

Rachel props her chin on her palm and said, "Oh denial. The first step in not wanting to admit things."

"What do you mean?"

"Brooke face it…you want Lucas. And only Lucas."

"I—"

Rachel held up her hand and said, "Before you go into your denial spiel…you've been on a few dates recently and they've all been with different types of guys yes?" Brooke nodded, not saying a word so Rachel continued on saying, "All gorgeous but none of them did anything for you or your lady parts."

"Riight…"

Rachel smiled as she pointed her fork at Brooke and said, "But then there's Lucas…who you've been having nonstop sexy dreams about and have been self-diagnosed with a severe case of horniness. Ergo subconsciously you desperately want to bang your bestie. Mike drop. Boom."

Brooke's mouth dropped, "I…we… I… no—" she stammered nonsensically.

"YES. It's so obvious it's borderline sad."

"Really?"

"Mm-hm…" she said before taking a bite of her buttered salmon. "You're so hot and bothered it's a shame."

Brooke rolled her eyes, "I'm not hot and bothered—"

Rachel splashed a little water on Brooke's skin and made a sizzling sound, "You're lying."

Brooke frustratedly cut into her grilled chicken saying, "I don't like him like that Rach—"

Rachel smirked, "I heard you lie the first time, you don't have to lie twice."

"Ugh why did I even bother telling you about this?"

"Because you were about to explode if you didn't because then you'd actually have to do something about it. Or maybe that would've been a good thing. Then you wouldn't be such a horny bitch." Rachel laughed as soon as Brooke threw a dinner roll at her. "You know that I'm right."

Brooke huffed, "What should I do then?"

"Other than the obvious? Test the waters and see if he's remotely interested in taking it a step further."

"Theoretically we already had that conversation. But it's one thing to say that it would be okay when in reality he may not like me that way."

"Try being half-naked around the house or something…"

Brooke rolled her eyes at that suggestion, "There's a problem with that. He has a son staying with us for the summer! I could hardly parade around in my underwear while he's there!"

Rachel took a sip of her Long Island Iced Tea and asked, "What about Lucas's mother?"

"What about her?"

"I'm sure that she would LOVE to have her grandson spend the night with her or maybe a weekend or something while you and Golden Boy can heat up the sheets like you desperately want to." Rachel smiled deviously then shrugged, "I'm just saying!"

Brooke bit her lip and had to admit that she did want to find out if Lucas would be as good as her fantasies of him. "Okay I'll try it. But if this doesn't work—"

"Trust me it will!"

An hour later Brooke entered Lucas's apartment and found Lucas and Jamie sitting around on the sofa watching the credits roll. "What were you two watching?"

Jamie turned his head to address her as he said, "We were watching some sad war movie! Dad cried!"

"I did not!" Lucas denied, unable to believe his own son was telling her that.

Jamie looked at him and deadpanned, "You did."

"I did not! It was an involuntary eye watering situation."

"Isn't that just called crying?" Brooke said with a smart ass smirk.

"So where have you been?"

Brooke sat between the two males and answered jokingly, "I was out with Rachel Gatina. The girl I usually cheat on you with as my best friend."

Lucas gaped at her and joked back, "Wow Brooke I would never cheat on you! How could you do this to me?!"

"You guys are wierd." Jamie said with a shake of his head.

Brooke ruffled his soft spiky blonde hair and said, "But you love us!"

"I noticed that you have a Wii console…and a Just Dance 4 game…" Jamie said with a grin.

Brooke looked at his cute face and stated, "You must want to play."

"Dad made me wait until you got here." he said anxiously, practically bouncing in his seat.

"Okay fine let's do this!" After beating them three times in a row Brooke bounced up and down saying, "I finally beat you at something!"

"That's because you had more practice on this thing!" Jamie grumbled.

"Aw Jamie don't be like that!" Brooke said as she hugged him, "Wanna go one more round?"

"Maybe some other time. Right now dinner's ready guys!" Lucas said from the kitchen, having quit the second round.

Brooke skipped into the kitchen and inhaled the shrimp scampi and rice. "That smells delicious!"

"Thank you." he said as he set their plate in front of them. After a filling dinner Jamie was the first to go to bed.

"I meant to ask…how did the skate park thing go?"

Lucas shrugged and chuckled, "It actually went pretty good. They skated around for bit and talked. He's smoother than I gave him credit for. I mean he's eight for godsakes and he's already getting numbers from little girls!"

"Who do you think he gets it from? I seem to remember that you were a lady killer too once."

He sighed, "Sometimes it seems like those days are far behind me…now I can't seem to get the girl I like to even notice I exist."

"Why don't you practice on me…tell her everything that you want to say to her."

"You sure that you want to do this?"

Brooke nodded, "Yeah…go ahead."

Lucas turned towards her, his body facing her completely as he looked into her eyes and said, "I want to kiss you, but only in the most connotative way possible, so that no dictionary definition would stand a chance to describe how your lungs could be filled with the sweetest air possible, and yet you would be so breathless…"

Brooke's body was reacting to his words, each word lighting a fire in her. Her center throbbed as he said, "I want to make-love to you. Slowly. Intimately. In every way you want it…Alright I'm headed to bed." Lucas said after letting out a huge yawn.

Her heart was pounding with desire but she said, "O-okay… see you in the morning."

"See you in the morning…Goodnight Brooke…" he said before making his way upstairs.

"Goodnight."

After an hour passed Brooke was bored out of her mind. She was sick of watching TV since nothing good was on anyway. She just didn't know what else to do. It sucked that Lucas and Jamie went to bed while she was far from sleepy.

After twenty minutes flew by she decided to go swimming so she went upstairs and peeled off her clothes and put on her terry clothe robe. She was pretty sure that Lucas and Jamie was asleep so she crept out of the house and looked around making sure no one was outside. Satisfied she shrugged the robe off, sighing when she felt the balmy air on her skin. The breeze was cool but not too cold. She stepped into the pool, letting the cool water cool off her overheated body. She sighed and closed her eyes, this was more like it.

Meanwhile Lucas watched her disrobe, her nude body glowing in the moonlight, and watched her step cautiously into the pool. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and he couldn't believe he was actually invading someone else's privacy but he could not take his eyes away. She was just too beautiful. His mouth went dry at looking at her, desire flowing through his veins. He had no idea she was even awake at this hour until he had heard a slight noise outside and wanted to make sure it wasn't anyone breaking in. Instead of a robber he got an eyeful of Brooke Davis.

Her reddish-brown her resting on her shoulders, baring her beautiful breasts, the trim waist and the dark curls between her thighs. He sighed with wanting, wanting something he could never have. But that didn't mean he could fantasize.

He imagined he was kissing her smooth lips, touching her soft alabaster skin, caressing her breasts while his tongue plundered her mouth. He imagined the way she would taste, how she would sound as he moved his hand down her body to the curls below—

Fuck! He could not go on another day like this. He now knew that he needed to somehow convince her to cross the line and be with him. Or risk going insane.

With one last lingering glance he went to bed, but not before he saw her doing backstrokes, her perfect breasts peeking out of the water. With a needy groan he went to bed with her on his mind, not to mention a raging boner.

-x-

Lucas kissed her once more, sinking into desire and need as they moved through the house, taking off articles of clothing along the way. "God I'm not usually like this on a first date." Brooke gasped against his mouth.

She then kissed him again, curling her arms around his neck, proving to him just how much she wanted him. She thrust her tongue inside his mouth and kissed him more fiercely. He was a wonderful kisser, exploring her mouth with abandon in a way that curled her toes up. When they parted it wasn't for long, their lips met and it was like a flowing spring of desire rushing through, involving their hands. It was like she was ravenous for his taste, the feel of his muscled body against hers made her blood skyrocket to high boil. Lust filled her and she couldn't stop now even if she wanted to. She needed Lucas to the point that she could barely contain herself, kissing him passionately, tasting him fully as her tongue pushed further inside of his mouth.

He groaned softly, wanting to taste more of her. He kissed his way down her neck, popping off buttons in his haste. She gasped when his wandering mouth found the peak of her breast. He suckled her deeply inside his mouth, relishing the texture of her. To say he was addicted would be an understatement. She brought him closer to her and arched her back. He pulled the garment away and took the other in his mouth, nipping and suckling it, while his hand was busy toying with the slick nub.

"Lucas…" she gasped, the sensations too much.

"Hmm?" Her nipple still in his mouth.

"Hurry…" she whispered, her eyes closed.

"Are you absolutely sure? Cause there's no going back after this?" He said, his eyes burning into hers fiercely. Lucas would stop in a heartbeat if she weren't a hundred percent sure about this decision.

"Yes, I want this, I want you Lucas." she then brought his mouth up to meet hers.

He laid her on her bed and kissed her softly. But she didn't want to slow up. So she kissed him wildly, her nails raking over his still clothed chest. She nearly growled, "You're wearing way too much clothing."

He looked down at his clothes then at her and arched a blonde brow, "Am I?"

She nodded and started to unbutton his shirt, revealing his muscular chest, "Yes… way too much clothing." she said as she pushed him away once the shirt fell open.

"Brooke… I thought—"

"Lucas… shhh!" She then climbed on top of him, a smile on her beautiful face. She unbuckled his jeans, then undid them completely until she had him completely uncovered. "Oooh, wow… you really are a big boy!"

She placed the head of his penis inside her, then twirled her hips, teasing him. Well at least that was the plan until he surprised her and flipped her on her back. She blinked up at him as he put on protection and then proceeded to…

Beep beep beep…

Lucas woke up with an angry groan, his need pulsing through his member painfully. He cursed and made a beeline for the bathroom and did what needed to be done. Took a very cold shower.

-x-

The next morning after eating a hefty breakfast with Jamie, they went out and spotted her, again swimming in the pool, only this time she had on a red sexy one piece. Lucas smirked, he liked her better in the buff.

She walked out the pool, like a goddess, graceful and sensual. Her cheerful eyes fastened on him, a little flicker of surprise were within her hazel-green eyes.

"Hey! It's about time you two got up…" she said sauntering toward them.

"Yeah—but please, don't mind us."

Her hazel-green eyes took him in slowly, and she asked, "What are you doing out here this early?"

"I could ask the same of you."

"I was still pretty hot from last night. Wanna join me?" she asked, a sexy smirk on her face.

Lucas sat down and put his feet in saying, "I would love to but we just had a big breakfast."

Jaime brought Lucas his phone and said, "It's Grandma Karen."

"Hello?" he said as soon as he put his cellphone up to his ear. "Er, sure…I don't mind that. Yes I know we should have told you when he got in but…Ma! We lost track of time! I know…okay I will ask him." he then turned to his son saying, "Your grandma wants to know if you want to spend the weekend with her?"

Jamie smiled and nodded, "Tell her I said yeah! Will she back thaose cookies I like?"

"Jamie asked will you bake those cookies he likes?" he chuckled then answered his son, "She said only if you're staying with her for the weekend."

"Tell her that I am!"

Lucas shook his head and handed him the phone, "Tell her yourself kid."

"Hey grandma!" he said before walking back into the house.

-x-

Brooke had said goodbye to Jamie after Karen had come and swooped him up in hugs and kisses and I-miss-you's and it was very touching. Jamie loved Karen with all of his little heart as well as Dan. That had been an hour ago and Brooke was feeling a little down now that her buddy left her without a backwards glance. Can't fight the grandma power…she thought with a sigh.

"Put on your best dress. I want you to model for me. Modeling always made you feel better." Lucas said, noticing her little depression.

"You never want me to do that…"

"Well you look like someone kicked your puppy so…in order to get that look off your face I would endure it."

"Oh thank you bestie!" she said giving him a impromptu hug. "Okay I'll be back down." Brooke got up and went upstairs in a rush. She knew just the dress.

Brooke was frantically trying to find the dress that she had bought a month ago but had no opportunity to wear. Frustrated she went tearing through every dresser, every inch of her expansive closet until she found it hanging by its lonesome on a hanger looking just as perfect as she had bought it. It was a shimmering gold dress that ended mid-thigh, with a low plunge, and was backless. She grinned then rushed into the bathroom and began to primp and get ready. After all she needed to do this for him to get the full effect.

She wore the lovely tight fitted dress with a simple gold heart shaped pendant necklace draped over her neck, and gold chandelier earrings were dangling from her ears. Her black and gold peep-toe ten inch heels were diamond crested and her toes were painted fiery-red fury. Her lips were glossy red, her eye-shadow smokey and enchanting, setting off her hazel green eyes. Her auburn hair was in a messy chignon, completing the sophisticated look.

"Wow…you look really great." he said after spotting her on the bottom step. "Let's go."

"What do you mean?" she asked, taking in the sight of him in a nice two piece suit.

"Let's go…" Lucas smiled at the look on her face and took her hand in his. "What? A little spontaneity never hurt anybody. Now that I got you all prettied up why don't we go down to The Pierre and have a nice dinner for two?"

Brooke looked at him with unsureness and said, "Lucas, I don't know. We're going to The Pierre? Sounds a little more like a date than two friends dining."

"It is just two friends dining. Only at a fancy restaurant."

Twenty minutes later they were being seated in the exclusive restaurant and observed the wine menu, as well as the food menu which was all in French.

Brooke bit her lip a little as Lucas ordered his food, his voice doing wierd things to her lower body as he said the dishes with perfect pronunciations of the food. God she really, really, really needed to get laid.

She ordered as well and felt her body heat at the look on his face. He looked like he wanted to eat her, damn the food.

How is it that everything is changing? First her dreams now this…

Maybe he did feel the same way after all…

-x-

After a very rich dinner Lucas held her hand as they walked along the ocean shore barefoot, both carrying their shoes in the other hand. When he suddenly stopped Brooke looked up at him with questions in her eyes as if to ask what was going on without saying a word.

"I have to do this." He said looking down at her glowing eyes.

"Do what?"

"This," then he lowered his head and kissed her softly yet passionately. "I've wanted to do that for so long."

Brooke's heart pounded as she whispered, "Do that again…"

Lucas kissed her languidly, enticing her to want more. She gasped and his tongue delved deeper, his hands pressing her against his body as he kneaded his tongue against hers sensuously, taking her breath away. She moaned and sank further in his kisses, completely bewitched by him. His scent, his taste, the feel of him. God…

"Are we starting something?" she asked after finally finding the will to break the kiss.

"Usually when I kiss like that I'm starting something."

Brooke gulped, her body clamoring with need. "Yeah, me too."

"So we're starting something…"

She looked up at him, heat in her hazel eyes. "Yeah I guess we are."

Lucas blue eyes darkened considerably as he asked, "Are you sure you want to?"

"I'm positive. I haven't felt this way in so long. I want you, Lucas. I can't fight against this anymore!" She then kissed him again, both completely consumed in what has been building unknowingly between them for weeks.
