Three weeks later....

Broc:

"Come on! Pretty please... I've been stuck in bed for like weeks now. I think I can walk down the hallway to the kitchen to eat at a normal table." Summer is begging Mike to let her out of bed. She was feeling much better and could basically hobble now.

"No summer." Mike said at the same time I said "Ok."

We glare at each other as she giggles. "Ok... well while you guys argue some more about that, I'll just be going..."

"Summer!" We both yell at the same time, as she huffs.

"Darling, how about we join you in here, like we did last night huh? I know Brittany would watch movies with you again until you fall asleep, you seemed to like that." I was firm, yet sweet. I tried to convince her the way Sean convinces Brittany. He's the master.

I have kept my distance so far. I want her to set the pace for us. I knew she went through a lot and she was angry at us all for a little while. Although she has seemed to be much better after her therapy sessions. Eres seemed to be doing his job well as a therapy dog for her. He's also become more protective of her.

I can see him wiggling in excitement at the foot of her bed. He didn't like her being upset.

She crosses her arms over her chest huffing and pouting. She's so adorable when she pouts. She looks up at me with her pretty eyes. The ones I can't say no too.

"Um, Broc?" I kneel down by her bed trying to get closer. She smiles as she pulls out my hair and starts to play with it. I close my eyes enjoying the feeling of her hands in my hair again.

"What is it Darling?" I look up at her again.

"Um, will you watch Fairy tail with me? Maybe we could cuddle?" her voice is just above a whisper as I see mike roll his eyes.

Smirking, I clear my throat flashing her my signature smile. This will persuade her. "You promise to stay in bed though right? Your brother is going to kill me if I let you get out of this bed." She rolls her eyes at me.

"Summer..." I say in a serious tone.

She huffs one more time and glares at mike who throws his hands in the air. "Hey! I'm just following the doctors orders okay? Don't kill the messenger." He stomps off towards the door.

"Jeez brother, and I thought I was a drama queen!" Summer's smirk is back. Making me melt every time.

He turns and smiles his goofy smile at her again before closing the door behind him.

We sit in silence, my head resting carefully in her lap as she plays with my hair. I reach up and grab a hand and kiss it. She freezes for moment. I look up at her, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

She cuts me off with a kiss on my forehead, "It's ok Broc. I've missed you."

I sat up and climbed into the bed next to her, taking her face in my hands and kissing her lips. Gently, I didn't want to hurt her. I let her lead as she opened her mouth, her tongue gaining access to explore all she wanted. I let her explore as her fingers moved to my hair. She tasted so good. So good that I knew I could never get enough. I mentally fought back the tightness in my pants as I try to give as much as I could. I allow my fingers to run through her soft curls, down her back. Bliss. I love this.

I heard a giggle which made both Summer and I turn towards the door. Sean was standing there, Brittany right next to him. Brittany was holding a stack of clothes, while Sean had a large tray of food he set down on the small table in the middle of the room.

I sigh, as I glare at Sean. Sean noticed my 'I'm ready to punch you' look and threw his hands up in defeat. "Hey man, don't look at me! Mike said to bring in the food and Brittany's gotta help Summer get ready for bed. Also, your father's here. He wants to see you asap."

I groan, as Summer tugs on my shirt, pouting her lips. "I'll be back Darling, don't worry. You will have your cuddles." I wiggle my eyebrows at her. That seems to put a smile on her face as I gently kiss her lips one more time.

Sean and I walk out to give the girls some privacy and as soon as the door closes Sean whispers, "Hey man, I'm happy for you and Summer."

I smile a giddy smile. "I am too." We both laugh at my stupid response. That's what kissing that beautiful girl does to me. Knocks my brain around. Leaving me fuzzy and filled with, happiness? Love? Is that Love?

"Father?" I spoke up sternly as he stood up from the computer screen he was watching with Mike. Marissa is taking a team into an old warehouse which may be connected to the Wilson family's new hideout.

Mike and Marissa are speaking to their team in Spanish. I guess many of their men and women come from Spanish speaking countries. Good to know. Looks like Summer will need to teach me some Spanish.

Brenda had promised us information on the Wilson Family's new business dealings, in exchange, for a face to face meeting with me.

So far none of the information she's given us pans out.

I could feel my anger building. If anyone thought they could try to get to Summer again they are mistaken. I refuse to be so smug this time. I wanted every person involved in her kidnapping dead. As of yesterday.

I sigh, running my hands through my hair and pound on the kitchen counter. Everyone stares at me. "Why the fuck are we wasting our time?!"

"Whoa hey, Broc, listen..." Sean came up to me, leaning against the counter. He had this way of calming people when they get worked up.

He really is good at this.

I stared at him, waiting for his next words.

"Listen, Brenda's information hasn't been the most helpful, I know, But, there's little golden nuggets in there." He had a huge grin on his face as he pulled out his tablet. He began going through an analysis of all the places we've been too. One thing is for sure. Brenda, Kevin, another man and another woman all spotted near these areas.

"You think Brenda is feeding us both information?" I spoke harshly as Mike interjected.

"Yes." He moved around my father who continued to speak to Marissa. "There's a lot to these people you'll need to know but, how much do you want to know?"

I glared at them both. "I want to know EVERYTHING and ANYTHING!" I felt my hands ball into fists. What the hell? Why wouldn't I want to know.

Mike glared back. "Broc, whatever you know, Summer will know. You got it?" He kept his voice low and firm. I knew what he was getting at. We discussed at length over these last few weeks how much we would share would Summer. Her therapist felt we should shelter her until she heals, but none of us could completely shut her out.

She knows Brenda is 'helping' us. She knows Kevin is still alive, but not much else. I only answer questions if she asks them, otherwise I try to focus on her healing.

I nod in agreement as I hear a soft voice interrupt all of us. Sean's eyes light up immediately and his whole demeanor changes.

"Hey Princess, you ready to watch TV?" His voice so sweet and calming. Fuck, how does he do that?

Brittany smiles up at him. She throws her arms around his neck forcing him to lift her. "If you two don't come back soon Summer is going to come get you herself." She giggles as she looks over at me.

I smirk, standing up a little straighter. Summer needs me. All this can take a backseat while I spend as much time as possible in her arms.
