Author's Note : Brace yourselves my readers. Mature Brucas content will be taking place at some point in this chapter.

I'm moving in

You're hair is falling all around my face.

I'm breathing in

You're breathing out. The same.

We give and take.

Days Later

Karen Roe practically raced out of her home. Once she heard the car she knew was Brooke's. Park in the driveway.

She opened her arms. And smiled so hard her face hurt.

Brooke ran out of her car and hugged Karen tightly.

It was holiday time. And the weather was cold.

Once Brooke entered the home. She felt at peace.

Seeing her sons there. And Lucas too.

Brooke awoke quickly. Looking around at her otherwise empty dream.

The stories she had heard from Lucas about his mother. Kept resurfacing in these dreams. She felt as if she missed out on knowing an amazing woman.

Karen Roe gently made her way into the nursery.

Smiling proudly as she looked into the crib.

"You know. I love my grandsons. But having my grand daughter now. Just feels like a dream come true."

"Between me and Keith. She'll be cooking. Baking. And knowing everything possible about cars. Before she's out of elementary school."

"Between you and those boys. She's going to be so protected whic is a gift. But you let her have fun. Live her own life. And make mistakes."

"You can't protect her from the world." Karen stated matter of fact.

Karen picked up the infant wrapped in a pink blanket.

"She's perfect. Looks just you. Blond hair blue eyes. But she's going to be. Alot like her mother. Which means you'll have you're hands full. In the best way possible." Karen said.

"I miss you momma." Lucas said.

Karen smiled warmly. "I miss you too. But me and Keith haven't gone anywhere. We live on in you're heart." She reassured him.

Brooke had left her hotel suite. And was happy to find Lucas just steps away at his own.

Since the invitation to join him on his trip came spur of the moment. Lucas made it a point to pay for Brooke to have a room for herself.

Which so happened to be right next to Lucas's.

"Couldn't sleep either.?" Brooke asked. Smiling up at him.

Shutting the door to his room.

Lucas smiled back at her. "Dreams keeping me awake again." He replied.

"I'll make something for us to eat. You have no reason to be nervous. You're fans love you and have supported you since you're first book."

"The boys are happy enjoying some time with their aunt Peyton."

"She loves having them there. And now there is talk about them wanting a new sibling. Which i was surprised to see." Brooke said.

"They aren't the only ones who would be open to that." Lucas admitted.

Brooke focused her gaze on him. "A little girl. My heart melts at the thought of it."

A comfortable silence fell over the two as they ate breakfast together.

...

Lucas's work obligations kept him busy and in serious mode.

But once he got all the needed work requirements out of the way.

He was free to enjoy LA with Brooke. Which is why he had invited her in the first place.

We hit all the well known places. Yet made sure to keep a low profile.

I wanted to show my verison of this place. Which meant going to the unknown hole in the walls stores and resturants.

For dinner. I gave her full control over where we went.

We booked a table at a LA hidden gem.

Vito Restaurant. Known for it's Italian-American food. Open for 41 years.

We grabbed a table in the outdoor seating area.

For Appetizers. We ordered trio for two. Fresh Mozzarella, Bruschetta and Parma Prosciutto.

For myself i ordered. : GNOCCHI SORRENTINA. Homemade Potato Dumplings, Mozzarella and Parmesan in a Meat Sauce.

I ordered : RIGATONI AL FORNO. Baked with Ricotta, Mozzarella and Tomato Sauce.

For Dessert. We traveled to our final destination before heading back to the hotel.

Which was B Sweet. Dessert Bar.

I got salted carmel bread pudding.

Lucas on the other hand. Ordered some delicious cheesecake.

By the time we got back to the hotel.

I joined Lucas in his suite with my suitcases. Placed near the closet.

Lucas took my hands in his. Our eyes locked on each other.

It was the rain and the thunder that made me jump.

The raindrops pounding the windows of the suite furiously.

I felt her heart racing as i cupped her face with my hands.

Kissing her gently. I ran my fingers through her long straight hair.

Gazed deeply into those hazel eyes. And knew. Brooke Davis was my future.

She leaned over and kissed me. Her lips grasping onto mine.

Her entire body was pushed against mine. Molded actually.

Her lips were so soft. Her body. So warm. Full of curves and inviting.

I pulled her closer to me. My hands slowly reaching towards the straps of her red dress.

Brooke wanted me to undress her slowly.

But with me she wanted me out of my clothes.

Tearing off my shirt. Kissing my bare chest.

Once i was only in my boxers.

I carefully pulled down the straps of her dress. And kissed her bare shoulder blades. Which caused Brooke to weak. Her knees buckled. As i pulled the dress from her body. Scooped her into my arms.

And carried her towards the bed. Laying her down gently. Removing her bra. Giving all the affection and time. Her full chest deserved.

Her nipples hard. Brooke's hair wild as her head thrashed back and forth against the pillows.

While Lucas had sucked and bitten down on them. Causing the hotel room to be filled with nothing but her labored breath and moans of pleasure.

"I love you." Lucas proclaimed. Loud enough for only her to hear.

"I love you more." Brooke replied.

Knowing and feeling as if nothing else existed in that moment but them.

Lucas removed his boxers. Then the single layer left.

Seperating their bodies.

"Lucas!" Brooke cried out. As he entered her in at once.
