In The Heat of the Moment

Chapter 6: Part 4

Cassie's POV

Brock pulled into the driveway and parks. "Nice truck dad!" Luke belted. Brock chuckles as he rubbed my knuckles.

"Sorry son but that's Cassie's. She's also a Dodge person," Brock answered as he turned off the truck. "Alright guys go get your things put away and back into the truck. We're going to the Smokehouse Bar and Grill for dinner, because dad is way too tired to cook tonight," Brock chuckled as everyone got inside. The kids ran to their rooms and I went into Brock's room. I flop onto the bed and let out a content sigh. The bed dipped beside me. I roll onto my side and Brock's arm wrapped around my waist. I move towards him and nestle my head in his chest.

"You tired baby girl?" his voice was low and deeper tone than what I was used to.

"Yeah I've been up since three," I answer as he slides an arm under me and wrapped his arms tightly around me. I rested my head on his bicep and looked in his eyes before I started to fall asleep. I jolt awake when Turk and Duke came and jumped on the bed.

"Hey boys stop jumping on my bed. If you want to jump on a bed then go jump on yours," Brock commented with a halfway strict tone of voice. "You guys ready?"

"Yeah we are dad," Mya answered her father. We both got up and Brock stood up before I did. All four kids ran out of the room and Brock helped me up.

"We'll be there for only an hour tops. Then we can come back here and you can go to sleep."

"What time do you want me up?"

I watched as a smirk played at his lips. He chuckled and looked at me. "My queen you can sleep for however long you wish."

"Oh so now you're calling me your queen?"

"Why yes yes I am. It feels right," he comes back with a smirk and a wink. "I think from now on I'll only do what I feel is right."

"Good, because I'm going to start doing the same thing... my King," I whisper as I place my left hand on his left cheek and lean up, pressing a warm and devoted kiss to his lips. I feel his large hands rest on my hips as he kissed back. He pulls away and presses a long kiss to my forehead. "Now let's go. I'm starting to get hungry."

"I am too," we get out to the truck and drive to the bar and grill.

"Welcome to the Smokehouse Bar and Grill. How many tonight?"

"Six please," Brock answered the host. He leads us to a circular table with a rounded booth. Turk and Duke got in first, then Brock let me in next, Mya got in after I did and Brock and Luke took the end.

"So what are we able to get, dad?" Luke questioned his father.

"You guys can get whatever you want, except for anything alcohol," he commented as he handed a menu to all of us. "So how's your schooling going?" he questions them just as the waitress came up to the table. Her eyes immediately landing on Brock. I growl lowly to myself.

Brock's POV

I looked at the waitress, but turn my head slightly when I hear a low growl come from Cass. I smirked and decided to place an arm around her shoulder. "Hi everyone what can I get you to drink?" Turk and Duke both got water, Mya ordered a Pepsi and Luke ordered a Mountain Dew. "And for the woman?"

"I will also have a water please."

"Okay and for the handsome gentleman?" she winked with a small smirk.

I brush it off and look at Cassie. "I'll also have a water," she walked off and the kids started to talk.

"Well Duke will be joining my hockey team," Turk exclaimed with excitement.

"That's awesome. What about you two?" I gestured to Mya and Luke.

"School is pretty boring right now. Not much going on," Mya answered as the waitress came up with our drinks. I didn't pay attention to her, but I still said thank you.

"What about you Luke?"

"I'm actually about to go to Florida to attend the WWE Performance Center at the first of the year."

"That's awesome, Luke. Cassie actually attended the Performance Center for her training. Maybe she could give you some advice," I claim as I took a sip of my water. Not too much longer the waitress came back to our table and took our order. It amazed, yet reassured, me just how much Cassie fit in with the family. We all ordered a steak.

Duke: 6oz. Sirloin with corn and steamed veggies
Turk: 6oz. Sirloin with fruit and corn
Mya: 10oz. Sirloin with mashed potatoes and asparagus
Luke: 10oz. Sirloin with loaded mashed and broccoli
Cassie: Ribeye with loaded mash and asparagus
Me: Ribeye with mash and steamed veggies

After when were done eating, and no one got dessert, the kids went to the dance floor and played some music. I pull my arm towards me, making Cass lean into me. She rested her head on my chest and I played with her hair. When my fingers caught a tangle, I gently detangle it. "You okay?" I question her as I breath out, taking a second to look at the kids, making sure that they were okay.

"Yeah just happy to have some time to do whatever I want," she mumbled into my chest. I press a kiss to her hair and leaned back. The waitress came over and gave me the bill. I look it over and see she scribbled her number on it with a smiley face on the bottom. I put my card with it and gave her the receipt and card. When she came back and I was done signing she walked off. I smirked to myself and crossed out her number. I wrote a 'sweet' note, under her number and grabbed Cassie's hand. I helped her out of the booth and we walked over to the kids.

"Come on guys. It's nine-thirty and past your bedtimes," I say to Turk and Duke. I watched as they left before I look back at the table. I smirked when the waitress looked at the copy I signed. I pressed a kiss to Cassie's forehead and walked outside. Once we got home, and got inside, we said our goodnights and went to our rooms.

Cassie's POV

I walked to my bags and grabbed my things. As I go to my things back in my bag, I was stopped by Brock's gigantic body. "Hey you'll be here for about a week. Why don't you just keep your things in my bathroom?"

"Oh okay," I smile as I turn and walk back into the bathroom. I step back into the room and strip off my clothes. I was about to put my shorts on when I was picked up and thrown onto the bed. When I open my eyes, there above me was the same pair of baby blue eyes I had grown fond of and loved very much. "Well hey there handsome."

"Hey there beautiful. It'll get a little warm with the both of us in the same bed. Plus there's no need to cover up your body when I'm around. I'll always find you beautiful, gorgeous, and sexy."

I had completely forgotten that I told him how I felt about my body. "Okay," I whisper as I place a hand over his heart. His heart was beating fairly quickly, and I had to ask. "Are you okay? Your heartbeat is quicker than it's normal pace."

"I'm fine. I'm just happy I get to share a bed with you, for once."

"I am too."

He places a hand over my heart and smirked. "Your heartbeat has quickened as well."

"Well it's because of the same reason as to why your heartbeat has quickened."

"Let's go to bed, my beautiful, amazing cutie," with that he dragged me to the edge of the bed and carried me to the side, that was farthest away from the door. I curled under the blankets and felt myself start to fall asleep.

Brock's POV

I walked to my side of the bed and crawled under the covers. I turned off the light, by my side of the bed, and rolled onto my side, facing Cassie. I was almost asleep when I felt Cassie place her face in my chest. I smile and wrap my arms around her, pulling her body flush against mine.

This felt right...

This felt very much right.
