"You..." She sneered, brows bending downward.

"Umm...you know each other?" Leena asked, pointing back and forth between Brooke and Lincoln.

"Me," Lincoln grinned, ignoring Leena and obviously thoroughly pleased that Brooke had gotten ruffled upon recognizing him. 

"Is it a habit of yours to interrupt conversations?" She accused, turning her body to fully face him with an intense glare.

Lincoln shrugged smugly, "Only to people I enjoy irritating."

I stand, sliding myself around the island and invading his personal space by basically crushing him into a hug. My arms wrap around his torso tightly while I stare up at him, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. His arms capture me, wrapping around my shoulders as his eyes flick between mine. "I really enjoyed last night. Every part of it." I tell him honestly. "Good. Me too." His head leans down into me, pecking my lips with a gentle kiss before he pulls away smiling, his dimples on show. "Do you know how fucking sexy you look right now?" I chuckle before breaking free, stepping back and spinning around so Chase can see me fully. "Fuck. Come here." His hands grip my neck, steadily pulling my head into him as his lips crash onto mine. His tongue slips in my mouth and I feel myself moan slightly at the feeling in my stomach from his touch. He suddenly grips my bare ass underneath his shirt and I squeal. "Hey!" "Sorry baby, I just can't control myself when you're literally wearing nothing underneath my shirt. Which by the way, looks so fucking good on you." *** Dual POV 18+ Mature scenes Strong language
