Brooklyn gazed into his eyes, feeling his growing arousal against her, feeling his need for her. She was lost in his eyes and surrendered to the desire she felt deep within her for him. She loved him and she was willing to take the plunge. She was willing to make memories with him. Nikolas leaned in to taste those luscious lips again. However, his phone buzzed with an incoming call from Bruce and he looked at his phone with displeasure.
“I need to take this,” said Nikolas, looking a little disappointed. Brooklyn nodded and coming to her senses, she jumped off his lap immediately.
She went to the washroom to freshen up while Nikolas spoke to Bruce over the phone. When she emerged, he wasn’t there in the room. Going out, she saw him busy preparing coffee. The moment she walked in, he looked up and gave her a dazzling smile making all
Nikolas was horrified seeing the dangerous-looking men rushing after Brooklyn. He parked his car at the side and climbed out to save her. He rushed to cross the road but a car skidded to a halt right in front of him, blocking his view. He could see someone climb out of the car and then all of a sudden Brooklyn’s blood-curdling scream pierced the air. Nikolas’s heart stopped beating and he ran around the car towards Brooklyn on the other side as fast as his legs could carry him.Several other pedestrians stopped in their tracks, some called the police while others stood watching the drama happening before their eyes. Nikolas skidded to a stop near a petrified Brooklyn who was staring at the man standing in front of her with a gun in his hand.“Please don’t kill me. Please, I haven’t done anything to your brother,” sobbed
Nikolas didn’t gain consciousness the rest of the day under the effects of medicines and anesthesia. Bruce came in with Gavin to check up on Nikolas but left after taking updates. Brooklyn stayed with him throughout. In the middle of the night when he opened his dazed eyes complaining of excruciating pain, she summoned the nurse on duty and his pain medication dosage were increased which made him fall asleep instantly.It was morning and Brooklyn showered and changed quickly as Bruce had promised to arrive early to have a talk with the doctor in charge. The moment she emerged from the washroom, she found Nikolas’s anxious eyes fixed upon her. Excited to see him awake, she rushed towards his bedside.“How are you feeling now?” she asked anxiously, sitting on his bed, beside him.
Brooklyn was shocked by the roots of her hair. With the kind of mood he was in, she just couldn’t comprehend whether he was teasing her or seriously asking her to be his girlfriend. She sat beside him but he wanted her closer.“I want you here, in my arms, close to my heart,” he said when she went an inch closer at his insistence. She touched his cheek and went closer, his arm engulfing her into his body. “Will you be my girlfriend, Brooklyn?” He whispered into her ear, his mouth taking liberties and peppering her with small kisses all over her neck and jawline. She held his cheeks with both her hands and gazed deeply into his eyes.“Yes, Nikolas, I’d love to be your girlfriend,” she whispered, watching his eyes brighten up with happiness. Nikolas held the nape of her neck and dipped his head to claim
Kathy left the room with a chuckle after she was done. Brooklyn was extremely conscious of herself and fidgeted around the room, arranging things. Nikolas’s eyes followed her around with amusement. “Are you feeling shy?” He asked at last. Brooklyn looked up at him startled.“N-no, not at all,” she said, as a warm blush stained her face and neck at being caught.“Come here,” he said in a husky tone. Brooklyn’s eyes widened knowing what that phrase meant. She dropped the cushions onto the sofa and walked over to his side.“What? Do you need something?” she asked, avoiding his eyes.“Come closer, Brooklyn,” he said softly. Brooklyn sat down on the bed beside him. Nikolas smiled but sho
Nikolas gazed into her eyes, his eyes burning with a fire that Brooklyn had seen many times before. She could read his eyes so well by now. She could feel the intense desire he felt for her. “Come here,” he whispered softly. Brooklyn went closer to him, clinging to him just like he had asked her to.“Do you feel anything when I’m near you, Brooklyn?” He asked, his eyes flashing with fire. Brooklyn nodded.“Can you feel how much I want you?” he whispered, his mouth grazing her neck.“Yes,” she said as an electric current ran down her body.“Can you feel how much I’m burning for you?” He murmured into her ear, his hand traveling up her body, feeling the hot contours all along.&n
In the next few days, Nikolas's wound healed up well and he started going to work. He insisted on Brooklyn working for him like before as his PA. He wanted her near him all the time. So Brooklyn climbed into his car, wearing a coffee-colored skirt suit and matching pumps. With her hair tied up in a French twist, her cheeks rosy and glowing, she was a sight to behold. Nikolas gazed at her as she fixed her seat belt.“I’m having second thoughts about this,” he muttered impatiently.“About what?” Asked a clueless Brooklyn.“You should have worn a sack and covered your face as the pirates do,” he said with a groan. Brooklyn giggled and smacked his arm.“Then you too have to wear the same and cover your face as
Mr. Knightsbridge froze hearing her admission. Nikolas’s eyes widened with surprise and a small smile of relief washed over his face. “What do you mean? I don’t see a ring on your finger?” Asked Mr. Knightsbridge with a frown.“I’m Nikolas’s girlfriend as well as his PA,” she stated proudly.“But aren’t you a little too young for him?” Asked a clueless Knightsbridge.“That’s enough, Edward. You cannot stand inside my office and throw insults at me. You heard what Brooklyn said, so it would be wise to leave it at that,” said Nikolas sternly. At that point in time, he was furious and didn’t care about his contract with Knightsbridge at all.“There’s nothi
Brooklyn turned to the other side and pretended to sleep, not wanting to deal with him in his inebriated state. Her heart started beating with apprehension as she had no idea what sort of a mood he would be in. She had seen people get violent when they were drunk. Would Nikolas too get violent? Would he punish her? She clamped her mouth shut and closed her eyes and lay still like a log. The door opened wide and Nikolas staggered inside, muttering curses at everything.Suddenly, the whole room was quiet but Brooklyn couldn’t open her eyes out of fear. However, she could feel Nikolas’s heavy breathing as he stood watching her as if in a daze. After a minute she felt the bed dip and Nikolas climbed in with her. Relieved she was about to relax and finally go off to sleep when Nikolas’s arm caught her by the waist and pulled her closer to him. A gasp escaped Brooklyn’s mouth as her
