Brooke and Lucas went back to the hospital the following morning. Everyone was still there, waiting to see the patriarch of the family. Brooke pointedly ignored her sibling even though it was killing her to do so. But she just didn't want anymore trouble out of him. Instead she clung to her husband's side. That is until her father's eyes opened.

"Who died?" Dan joked after waking up from his slumber.

"Don't joke like that!" Brooke began crying all over again and hugged him, "You gave us a real scare there Dad."

Dan smiled softly and weakly held his daughter closer to him. "Hey it's okay. It's gonna take more than that to take me out. Were you here all night?"

Brooke brushed the tears from her eyes and shook her head, "Mom forced us to go back to the hotel."

"Good. You should be enjoying your honeymoon. I don't want to keep you from Lucas…" he then chuckled, "I gotta tell ya…I didn't see that comin. You and Luke. But I approve. He's a good man and I think that he is exactly what you need."

Lucas saw Nathan shift his feet then glare but he remained silent at the praise. Lucas was disappointed by the motion but decided to remain silent as well.

Brooke's eyes started to tear up as she rasped, "Really?"

"Yes really. You know that I love him like a son and with you both being married he's officially apart of the Scott clan." he then smiled at her and said "I'll be fine princess. Go have fun, enjoy Vegas with your husband. I'll be out of here before you know it and I don't want you to regret not taking advantage of this city so go."

"Are you sure—"

"Go! See the sights and enjoy yourself. I have your beautiful mother to take care of me and Nathan and Haley…Go on. Be happy."

Brooke had a difficult time walking away but she listened to her father and moved away from his bedside.

Dan looked at the couple and said, "Before you go Luke…take care of my little girl. And if you ever hurt her—"

"You'll shoot me and make it look like an accident. Got it." Lucas said with a firm nod, having heard the threat a few times but it had always been directed at Owen. It felt a bit alarming aimed at him.

Dan smiled and said, "That's right. Now go on and enjoy Vegas. Not too much though."

Lucas and Brooke chuckled as they joined hands saying, "See you later."

Brooke entered the car, feeling a lot better where her father was concerned. It was good to see him smiling and laughing after seeing him so…lifeless. She shuddered at the thought and reminded herself that he was okay and furthermore he gave them his blessing which was very, very important to her as well as Lucas.

Her husband. She smiled feeling as if she should pinch herself but she knew that it was real. That they were really married and happy—despite their tumultuous reception.

"Hey…you doing okay?" Lucas asked after getting into the Uber.

"Yeah…I'm fine."

"It just seems like you were a million miles away for a minute there."

"I'm just happy that my dad's really okay and that my parents are really cool with us being married. Nothing else really matters outside of that."

Lucas chuckled then said, "My parents gave me an earful about keeping secrets from them but they're happy for us too. My idiot brothers on the other hand…they wonder if I should have had my head examined."

Her spine stiffened as she asked, "Why would they say something like that just because you married me?"

Lucas cursed then sighed, "I'm sorry for even bringing them up."

"Let's try not talking about family and just focus on you and me."

He leaned over and captured her lips in a tender kiss and drew a line along her jaw with his index finger saying, "I like the sound of that."

"I knew that you would." she murmured before they engaged in another sweet kiss. "So what should we do today?"

"Whatever your heart desires."

Brooke dragged him everywhere, shopping practically nonstop and they ate a romantic dinner at one of the finest restaurants in Vegas which was Sinatra an Italian restaurant that was inspired by the blue eyed crooner. They partied together at a club named Omnia, dancing until they were both out of breath. They even gambled a bit, both winning a nice sum of money in Caesars Palace which Omnia was also located. Of course they knew that they could have gambled where they were staying but they wanted to see outside of the opulent hotel.

The couple walked to the Roulette table and instantly Brooke was intrigued and begged Lucas to try it with her. He ultimately agreed, unable to deny her anything at the moment.

"I want to place a bet on black 26." Brooke said as she placed her fifty dollar chips on the betting table.

"Me too." Lucas said with a smile. That was the day they gave into each other a second time.

They watched the white ball carefully, hoping and praying that white Teflon ball landed on their chosen number. It seemed like a half hour had come and gone when the ball settled on a number. For whatever reason Broke had her eyes closed, too nervous to look.

"Winner! 26 Black!" The dealer exclaimed.

Lucas was stunned by the good fortune and said to a stunned Brooke, "Oh my God we won! Baby we actually won!"

"We really won?!"

"Here are your winnings sir, ma'am." The dealer said as he gave them both a hundred dollars worth of chips back. "Would you like to go again?"

"Sure…why not. The same number please."

"Are you sure that you want to bet on the same number? What are the odds of us winning with it twice?" Lucas asked, rubbing her bare shoulders tenderly as she placed her bet.

Brooke smiled at him then said, "It just might be our lucky number. You never know. After all it's a game of chance right. Well I'm taking another chance on that."

"Final bets?" The dealer asked them with a patient expression.

"What the hell…26 black for me too double it for both of us." Brooke looked at him with mild confusion and he shrugged, "With great risks comes greater reward."

The couple were stunned mute when it landed on their special number again. They decided not to keep tempting fate and moved to another table with their winnings. Lucas chose what they were going to take a chance on next which happens to be

After winning an exciting five hour tournament of Poker the couple decided to call it a night or rather an early they got back to their room at the Venetian both were still high on the adrenaline of winning so much cash from the casino. Brooke pushed him against the wall and kissed him while her fingers eagerly began unbuttoning his blue shirt, needing to feel his heated skin beneath her fingertips.

"Brooke…" he moaned as she kissed down his neck to his bared chest, her lips ghosting over his nipples which made him tremble with pleasure and desire.

"What?" she asked softly, still kissing down every bared inch that she revealed.

Lucas found the strength to reverse their positions to where she was pinned against the wall, his mouth kissing her neck, reciprocating her actions perfectly, stripping off her skin tight wine red bondage dress easily, leaving her standing there in just her pure white lace panties.

Brooke moaned as his lips teased her nipples with the cool puffs of air, causing the peaks to tighten with arousal as well from the coolness of his breaths on them. She grasped his head just before he captured one of her tight little nipples into his mouth, his hand also caressing her soft mound, his fingers brushing over the tautness of her other nipple.

He lifted her up suddenly, her legs instantly wrapping around his hips, locking her feet together as he carried her through the lavish room until he reached the bed, laying her there while taking her mouth passionately. He kissed her sensuously, the salaciousness of it stealing what little breath she had.

His mouth returned to her breasts, kneading them as well as suckling the sensitive buds for a brief time before kissing his way down, his tongue brushing the sensitive skin underneath her breasts, her quivering belly to the very edge of her panties. Brooke shuddered, the sensation coursing straight to her rapidly moistening sex.

Lucas backed away, unable to take the strain of his pants against his lengthening erection.

Brooke eyes were locked on his every movement, watching him remove every article of clothing that he wore until he was utterly naked to her immense delight. Brooke hopped off the bed and took off the last scrap of clothing she had left and stood at the dresser, bending over a little bit with an alluring smile on her face.

Lucas hissed and had to literally take his erection in hand and stroke due to his excitement and stood behind her. He tested her passage and found it saturated with her desire for him. Unable to help himself, he played with her a bit longer than necessary, covering his two fingers with her slickness. Lucas knelt down, and spread her cheeks apart and languorously began laved her labia, needing to taste her fully, her flavor like a strong narcotic.

Brooke gripped the edge of the dresser as her husband sent illicit pleasure through her entire body, lighting her soul on fire with unparalleled bliss as he seduced her completely. She was unable to think, or make a sound as he devoured her, licking, suckling, lavishing every crevice of her with intent attention until she came mindlessly, seeing stars bursting behind her eyelids as her body melted completely.

Lucas lifted her bridal style and laid her back on the gigantic bed, and before Brooke knew up from down Lucas was inside her, slowly working her body to a frenzy. Her moan turned to a cry of ecstasy as she felt him in a new angle, hitting an extremely sensitive place within her pussy, his cock head brushing it over and over again until her second orgasm was now closer than it had been a second ago.

The pace wasn't hurried, but it was still intense in every way, both feeling pleasure in a very poignant way. Lucas captured her lips again, the kiss was just as vivid as their lovemaking, emotional and beautiful.

Lucas was overflowing with pleasure as well as emotion, unable to believe that he was really making love to his wife. It was as if it was finally sinking in that she was really his. He interweaves his fingers with hers, his body working hers tirelessly, the sweat between them making the whole experience even hotter. He kissed wherever he could reach, showering her with love and affection.

Brooke moaned, his mouth on her skin was like heaven on earth, kissing and nibbling and suckling… "God Lucas…ooh…I'm about to explode…" she gasped urgently, her body going taut as her pleasure reached a critical point, now at the very edge of an orgasm.

Lucas whispered in her ear, his words breathy and intense, "Come for me wife…I'm right there with you. Just come for me baby…I love you…"

Brooke gripped his hands as she came once again, completely consumed with the overriding flood of ecstasy coursing through her system, her world now off-kilter and yet wonderful. The sensation only grew when she felt his body trembling from his own climax, could feel the hot liquid filling her up. Her walls clenched his cock repeatedly in response to the warmth of his essence, as if wanting every drop within her.

Just as he was about to roll away, Brooke clutched him close saying, "Don't move. Please. I want to go to sleep like this…with you inside me."

Lucas dropped a tender kiss down on her mouth then said, "Whatever you want."

Brooke smiled contentedly and said, "By the way I love you too."

A few hours later Lucas slowly woke up from his slumber only to find that he was making love to Brooke again. Bewildered he reared up a bit and was about to stop but Brooke clutched him close and demanded that he keep going. So he did. Giving into the needs their bodies.

-x-

Brooke ordered a hearty breakfast for them even though it was mid afternoon, feeling famished. Lucas was still asleep in bed, as should she be after the night they enjoyed but for some reason she couldn't sleep another minute.

She stared at her husband and felt her heart che a bit although in a very good way. She brushed his wild hair back and grinned, studying him intently. She couldn't believe that he was her husband. Her forever.

The phone rang, interrupting her sappy thoughts. "Hello?"

"Brooke?"

"Mom? Is something wrong with Dad?"

Debra laughed, "No nothing is wrong with your father. Hell he's practically back to his old self. I'm under strict orders to make sure that you weren't coming back to the room. We both need you guys to enjoy yourself while here. Milk every experience that you can. Alright?"

"Yes mama…"

"Okay I love you Brookie Cookie."

Brooke smiled and said warmly, "I love you too mom. Oh and be sure to tell dad that I love him too!"

"He knows. But I will tell him anyway." she then paused briefly then said, "Nathan would like to talk to you both—"

She stiffened but shook it off saying, "Tell him that I will speak to him when we all are back home. Talk to you later mom."

Just as she put the phone back she heard the door and got up to answer it. When she opened the door her eyes widened with shock. "You're not room service…how did you know that I was here?"

Owen stood there with a saddened expression on his face, his eyes landing on the wedding band that adorned her finger. "I heard about your recent nuptials…I didn't want to believe it."

"Well believe it."

"You didn't give me a proper chance to redeem myself with you! I wish that you didn't rush into this—"

Brooke shook her head, "I didn't rush anything and I'm really, really sick and tired of hearing that. Lucas and I knew each other practically our whole lives—"

"You and Lucas Roe? You married Lucas?!"

"Yes. I'm now Mrs. Roe. What did you expect? For me to wait and waste away waiting for you?" she then smiled genuinely, no longer bitter about their relationship. "He makes me happy and he centers me, he makes me have fun. And most importantly…I love him."

Owen shook his head, unable to believe that the one person that she complained about constantly since he knew her was the one that she eloped with. "I doubt that but it's your life. See ya around short stack."

Brooke was about to close the door when the cart was brought to their door. She smiled and allowed them inside. The attendants set the table for them, setting the food in a nice way.

She skipped to the bedroom and kissed him awake, saying, "Time to wake up hubby! We got a big breakfast to work through."

During brunch Brooke told him of their brief visitor and the phone call from her mother. Lucas was truly happy about the news of his father in law but that was overshadowed by the fact Owen had the gall to even come their room on their honeymoon—

"You're brooding Luke. What's on your mind?" she said as she scooped up some delicious scrambled eggs.

"Owen. What was his reason for coming here?"

"He said that he wanted to see for himself. He came, he saw and he was an ass then he left."

Lucas felt anger building as he said, "Next time he comes around…he'll regret it."

Brooke walked around the table then sat down on his lap and kissed him, "Hey, Owen doesn't matter to me anymore. You do. So promise me that you won't end up in jail for losing your temper?"

"I'm not sure that I can make that kind of promise but for you I will try." Brooke grinned and kissed him again, only this time there was no stopping the passion that was ever just beneath the surface whenever they were together.

Lucas gave her one last kiss before asking, "So what should we do today?"

Brooke pretended to consider his question then answered, "Today we should stay here and see if we can make love all day long."

"I'm pretty sure that we can…" Lucas said as he squeezed her hip. "When do we start?"

She smiled at him then practically purred in his ear, "Nothing like the present…"
