Chapter 72


“I'm so used to the snow its weird being in a sunny place…” I said as I stared outside of the window as a driver was taking us wherever we were going.

I had slept for a bit on the plane but didn’t mind the little sleep and it was about 9am in California.
Brock had bought some nice clothes for me as well as a bikini so wherever we were going there would be a pool or maybe it would be the beach.I knew he definitely had help.

I could feel the excitement of just spending the day at the beach with Brock building..

“That’s why I brought you here.. Figured you needed a little sunshine you’re almost looking like Paige these days”

“And that’s bad?” I smiled and he looked over at me and shook his head as he texted someone who I figured must've been Paul which reminded me that I needed to get one.

“My phone broke that night after I called you..” he looked over at me, “Just in case you tried calling” he chuckled and I didn’t know why.

“I wish I had known that.. “ he shook his head and the car stopped and he got out and  I did the same.

We appeared to be at a harbour.


“Come on!” I felt him tug on my hand and I followed as we walked down.

I had decided on a shorts and a simple T while Brock looked completely different from his usual attire in an army shorts and a white t.

“Where are we?” I looked around and saw various boats.

“At a harbour..” he smirked as he looked back at me.

“I know that but….” He stopped in front of a mini- yacht thing I assumed you called it that .

I never really paid much attention to that type of thing.

A man who looked similar to Brock appeared and smiled as he saw us.

“Finally! Damn you know the best catch is in the morning man!”

He reached out his hand and I looked over at Brock and Brock nodded for me to take it .

As I took it he helped me onto the boat and Brock got on soon after.

“McKenzie , meet my little brother Troy..” My eyes widened immediately as that was the last thing I was expecting and Brock frowned a bit while his brother laughed.

“ Yeah believe it or not Brock does have some family and I'm only a year younger than you jackass!”

Brock rolled his eyes and I smiled still in shock .

“And you’re his…”

“My girlfriend . I told you that over the phone”

Brock seemed annoyed at the fact that his brother forgot but his brother ignored him and went over to untie the ropes which held the boat or whatever in place.

“I know I'm not stupid I just wanted to hear you say it” he winked as he seemed to love the idea of annoying Brock.

“What is with all the..” I saw a woman appear as she walked up to the deck where we were.

“Oh you guys made it! Its about time you brought someone out on the waters with you” she pulled me into a hug and Brock chuckled as he went over to a bag and started scratching as his brother began the engine and we went off on the water. 

“I'm Hailey, Troy’s wife” she smiled.

“I'm McKenzie” I smiled and she nodded and I saw Brock appear with a fishing rod.

I raised my eyebrow at him.

“I thought you and Troy were going to fish while us girls had sometime!” I heard Hailey next to me.

“No I'm just using you two for your boat” Brock chuckled and she rolled her eyes and went to join her husband who was sitting by the wheel.

“I cannot fish Brock” I shook my head and he smirked.

“That’s why I'm going to show you how.. " he walked over to the side of the boat and I felt it stop in the middle of the ocean.

“Besides you do not want to spend the entire day with her. She talks too much…”

"I heard you!" I heard a voice from the other side and saw their backs turned to us.

"There's a reason you did!" He screamed back.

“I wonder what you say to other people about me” I rolled my eyes and took the rod which he handed me as he had thrown the other part into the water.

I felt him behind me as he placed his hands over mine.

“By other people you mean my family and Paul then it would be ‘she’s my girlfriend’” his lips grazed over my ear and I suddenly became aware of how close he was.

“Your girlfriend…” I whispered back as it still sounded weird to me being the Beast’s girlfriend.

I realized he had said family and I was curious as to what extent . Was he just talking about his brother or...

“You hold this part tightly and when you feel a tug you roll this to reel it in, its pretty easy..” His hands were tight around mine as I nodded.

“You like fishing?” I asked him as he left me and sat down next to me.

“Yeah, my dad used to take me a lot when we weren’t on the farm it was cool” he shrugged and I nodded.






"How long have you two been together?" I heard Hailey next to me as Brock was now speaking to his brother.

" Not long" he might've told them about me but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want them knowing too much.

"Mmm... well this is the first time he has brought someone along. He usually comes alone, never even brought his wife here..."

"Oh..." I didn't known what to say to her.

" You must be pretty special to him McKenzie.. hope he means the same to you" she smiled and raised her beer as she walked away.

Brock raised his eyebrow as he listened to his brother as he most likely wanted to know what she had said. I smiled and shook my head.





“How long is it going to take cause I feel like.. SHIT!”

I felt a tug on the rod , “ What the fuck do I do , what do I do BROCK!”

“Exactly what I told you to do!” he chuckled as he stood up from where he was sitting on the other side.

I turned the thing as best I could but whatever it was , was fucking heavy and I felt myself moving forward.

“BRO…” I shouted out as half my body was almost tipped over the boat.

“FUCK!” I heard Brock and immediately felt my body being lifted back.

“Just do what I told you, you wont fall” his hands were tightly wrapped around my waist as I pulled.

“Seems like she’s got a big one!” I heard his brother shout.

I could feel my heart racing and I slowly saw it appear, I didn’t know what it was but Brock swung me around so that it landed in the boat.

“WOAH MCKENZIE!” His brother jumped back and his wife looked over his shoulder.

“You just caught a baby shark Kenz…” I heard his voice in my ear filled with pride as I saw the poor thing wiggly around.

I turned in Brock’s arms, “Can we throw it back?” he seemed confused.

“I don’t want it to die.. can we..”

“Sorry its already gone… but hey you should be proud not many people have such a good catch on their first try!” Troy smiled as he lifted it up and I nodded.

I hated Brock’s hunting ways and now I fucking killed a fish well shark which is dangerous but it had done nothing to me.

“Come on Brock lets take a picture this has to go up on The Wall” he handed me a camera and Brock’s arms left me as he went over ,lifted the shark into his hands and smiled along with his brother.

“Okay McKenzie come on ,join him I’ll take the picture …”

“Its fine…”

I really didn’t want to have any evidence but I saw Brock’s face drop a bit and I was with his family technically so the last thing I wanted was him to feel like he made a mistake bringing me along.

“SURE!” I smiled and gave him the camera and stood next to Brock.

As he was about to take it I realized it would be our first official picture together and that made me briefly forget about the guilt and I immediately turned and leaned to kiss him on his cheek but I think he felt my eyes on him and turned which caused me to give him a peck on the lips.

I immediately pulled back and saw him smirk but I ignored it and walked towards his brother who showed me the picture.

“That’s a cute one!”

I heard his wife behind us as she leaned over us to see and as I glanced over at Brock he winked at me and then walked away with the baby shark doing who knows what with it.

I didn’t wanna know but I was happy I had made him proud and I mean people fish all the time. Yeah that's what I told myself to help with my guilt.





“If you didn’t want to fish you didn’t have to agree…”

He whispered as we sat in the backseat of his brother’s jeep as we headed to his beach house in Malibu.

“I did I just didn’t want it to die”

I shrugged and continued looking out.

I didn’t want him to feel bad and as I looked back at him I saw he was looking out of his window with his jaw clenched.

I tugged on his t-shirt and he turned to me with a blank expression.

“I did enjoy it though and..”

“We’re here!” I heard his brother as they got out and I was about to get out as well but he gripped my arm.

“Give us a minute!” he shouted and they nodded and went inside while I looked at him questionably.

“And?” he raised his eyebrow and I smiled.

“I love that you brought me here with your brother, it means a lot to me and even if I didn’t like that one part. I enjoyed you teaching me, and helping me ‘reel it in’ and I loved how happy and proud you were.”

"I'm really sorry though I mean I'm used to .. and I didn't think..." I immediately lunged forward and kissed him so he could stop rambling. I felt his hand grip my thigh and I pulled back.

"Next time just make sure I'm not the one capturing something that almost lands me overboard " I whispered into his lips.

"I had you Kenz.. I would never let you go baby" he said seriously and I kissed his cheek and got out of the car as he followed behind me.

"You a good swimmer?" He whispered in my ear as he draped his arm over my shoulder and we walked to the house.

A/N:

I am not sure who the guy with him is in the cover photo. It could be his brother or a friend, I'm not exactly sure but they do look similar I guess.

Also I know Brock has two older brothers but just felt Troy should be younger here LOL :)

I was going to end this on a cliffhanger but I figured since you guys are waiting till the weekend I wouldn't torture you ;)

NEXT UPDATE IS THE WEEKEND XX
