Lucas and Brooke had just given in to the temptation that was devouring them... Violent, intense, irresistible. While she was still in his arms, the void between her legs was almost painful because he had filled it so much. Still sitting on the worktop, Lucas' muscular arms wrapped around Brooke and his nose sniffed her hair. The tips of his fingers came to delicately caress Brooke's shoulder blades, along her spine and then the bottom of her sides. Brooke's head was still resting on his sweaty chest and the manly smell that came from it still envied her. Lucas' warm, low voice brought Brooke out of her numbness when he whispered in her ear:
LUCAS : It was incredible Brooke ... I loved being inside you, I hadn't felt that in so long ...
A reassured smile appeared on Brooke's lips when she finally dared to look up at him, finally meeting his gaze. His two hands took possession of her face and his thumbs caressed her reddened cheekbones, he smiled tenderly at her.
LUCAS : You are divine and I am totally fulfilled to have had the honor that you give yourself to me ...
BROOKE : I loved giving myself to you, it was ... so good.
LUCAS : So good that I still want you ...
And while Brooke's whole being was already preparing psychologically and physically to leave for a second round, Lucas placed an almost paternal kiss on her forehead and she felt his gaze darken slightly.
LUCAS : Reassure me on one point ... We agree that this must never happen again?
His eyes so warm and his smile so tender contrasted with the hardness and violence of the words he pronounced. A lump formed in Brooke's throat and tightened like a vice while her face remained impassive.
BROOKE : We agree and anyway ... We both got what we wanted.
She surprised herself at being so natural in her repartee ... But sadness and anger mingled between them.
LUCAS : I'm glad we're on the same wavelength ... And I want you to know that I don't regret anything. Besides, if I listened to myself I would make love to you every day, as soon as the opportunity presented itself, you know ...
Despite the melancholy and bitterness that invaded Brooke, she couldn't bring herself to blame him. It was her she was angry with... She blamed herself for having been so naive. Lucas brought his lips closer to Brooke to give her one last kiss, taking the initiative to close this parenthesis. At the last moment, Brooke turned her face so that her lips escaped her. Lucas didn't say anything but she felt his disappointment. He kissed her warmly and sensually on the cheek then placed his forehead against her temple to breathe her in one last time.
LUCAS : I'm not holding you back... You must be tired. I'm going to go do a few lengths in the pool and then go to bed, too.
He reached out to her to get her off her seat, Brooke felt worse and worse. She kept silent, feigning confidence in walking around naked in front of him when she wanted to react. She wanted to react because she felt so weak compared to his power. She also wanted to caress herself in front of him to check the conviction he gave to his beautiful resolutions. She wanted to turn the tide and make him understand that it was she who had done him a favor and not the other way around. But she couldn't do anything about it... She knew it was her wounded heart that was talking and not her reason. He might be an incredibly sexy sex god, but he was also a married man, a father and her boss. She, a passionate student, who had the opportunity to enter the fashion design world thanks to her wife... A young girl who had promised to help her mother repay her student loan by working this summer. Brooke had already grown so attached to little Sawyer who was counting on her to take care of her and not her father... And even if the lack of him, of his skin, of his body and his sex inside her was already sorely missed... She went back upstairs without saying a word, Lucas didn't say anything either. No doubt quite satisfied to have relieved himself inside her. And yet...
As he dove into the heated pool water to start a series of breaststrokes, all of Lucas' thoughts turned to Brooke. He also had this big lump that was blocking his throat.
LUCAS' THOUGHT : You piece of shit... She must have felt so bad! I savagely banged her in the kitchen of my house and then gently told her to go to bed... That's what big selfish jerks do that I'm the first to hate and judge and I do exactly the same!
Lucas swam quickly, his arms and legs mechanically chaining the movements together as he sought relief.
LUCAS' THOUGHT : What if I instead got out of this damn pool and finally took responsibility for what I just did!? I go up to her room, close the door and tell her how sorry I am and how obsessed I am with her... I make love to her over and over again, all night long even... I cuddle her and show her how special she is.
Lucas was angry with himself for not being able to do what he should do... And what he wanted to do. He kept swimming until he was exhausted, until all his limbs were hurting him. He knew he was a coward and despicable. But he kept swimming until he was sure he wouldn't see her again.
When he finally went to bed, his body lay limply in his big empty bed. However, his mind could not fall asleep. He could only think about what Brooke could think of him, it made him sick and tortured just imagining it. But he was even more disgusted to imagine that she was hurt by his behavior earlier. He restrained himself with all his strength from going up to join her and he watched her door hoping that she would arrive. He was even more disgusted when a new erection appeared while he thought of her, naked in his arms.
LUCAS' THOUGHT : This girl is driving me crazy... I'm getting hard just thinking about her... I'm going to have to act on it if I can't control my emotions and my body around her.
And as his hand slides down to his cock to ease his growing need for Brooke again...
LUCAS' THOUGHT : I only have one solution left... Avoid her as much as possible and be content with my imagination! You will be content to fantasize about her small, shapely breasts and her nipples that point at the slightest caress. About her incredibly soft and full skin, about her dazzling hair and her vanilla scent... About her perfect little ass and the roundness of her fleshy and incredibly exciting buttocks... And about her magnificent pussy, her narrow lips and her den so tight, so enveloping and so intoxicating... Damn!
Lucas masturbated energetically while thinking about Brooke... Until a new deliverance, less intense than the previous one.
For Brooke, too, sleep wasn't easy to come by. She tossed and turned in her bed. A part of her felt strangely good... Her body was fulfilled in her erogenous zones... Lucas was definitely a sex god and that wasn't going to help. He had awakened in her an animal fever and a desire to explore all the possibilities offered in terms of sex. He had lit the wick of a flame that he had brutally extinguished just after. She wanted to feel his large palms roaming her body again, his woody and virile scent in her nostrils. She couldn't imagine having tasted so many delicious sensations to end them forever in one fell swoop. Just thinking about it, she felt her sex contract with the desire to feel him inside her again. She would like to join him in the pool and convince him to take her again and again... Or join him in his bed to ride him side-saddle until he lost his mind and his reason. But she wouldn't go, obviously. Since she was neither his wife nor his mistress. To claim that status, they would have to decide, together, to do it again... And even if the idea appealed to her a lot, she couldn't consider it anymore after what he had said to her in the kitchen.
BROOKE'S THOUGHT : This must not happen again... Tomorrow will be another day and I will become again what I am supposed to be... A nanny, nothing more.
Even though she was still trying to convince herself, the effect of the endorphins was still clouding her ideas. They would soon dissipate and her brain would be able to function without hindrance... Without carnal and sensual thoughts. In order to help her a little, she decided to take her cell phone. She knew she shouldn't, but she had a pride. She looked for Julian's cell phone number in her directory and decided to send him a message. His fingers slid out without much conviction a response to her message from a few days ago.
BROOKE'S MESSAGE : Hey ... I'm very busy right now, but what do you suggest?
Still without much enthusiasm, she pressed the button to send her message to her ex.
SAWYER : Good morning Brooke!Did you sleep well? What are we doing today?
Sawyer's spontaneity and energy made Brooke smile and she opened the covers to invite him to join her in bed.
BROOKE : Good morning, sweetie... And you, did you sleep well?
SAWYER : Very, very well! I'm in great shape!
BROOKE : Oh yeah!? And what do you want to do today with all this great shape, tell me!?
SAWYER : I want to bake with you and Julie... And, uh...
The little girl put her little index finger on her little chin to show that she was thinking. Brooke smiled tenderly.
SAWYER : I would like to do some painting and crafts to make lots of presents for Daddy!
The mention of Lucas reminded Brooke of last night... But she preferred to push it out of her mind as quickly as possible.
BROOKE : I think we should be able to do that! By the way, do you know if your dad is still here?
SAWYER : He came to give me a kiss, that's why I woke up and he told me to come see you...
Brooke decided to wait a few more minutes in her bed to make sure she wouldn't run into him. Before going downstairs, she glanced out the window to check that Lucas' luxury car had left the driveway. She knew that this game of cat and mouse couldn't last forever, but that was already good for today.
