A Break on a Busy Day

Today’s Page Brief features characters from Unexpected Dare, Impulse, Book #3. Enjoy!

From time to time there’s multi-part Page Brief’s that go together. I think of it as a Page Brief Serial and I name them. The below Page Brief Serial Phenomenon Objectives features the books at the time I wrote these Page Brief’s that were available in my Impulse series. Eventually when books are released in the Impulse series an Page Brief might be written and if it is it will be added to the Phenomenon Objectives Page Brief Serial. So this Page Brief Serial is a continuous one (at my discretion/time permits).

Phenomenon Objectives is a multi-part Page Brief Serial and best read in order for the most enjoyment. They are usually in order of the Impulse series for which they are written about (unless otherwise noted).

This might be a rough draft so excuse any typos and so on.

Stephen stretched then looked at the time and winced. He was going to be late and he hated being late. He picked up the phone to call Vanessa. A knock on the door made him look up. He set the phone down then rose.

“Vanessa.” He smiled watching her stride in.

“Figured you’d get caught up in paperwork so bringing food to you for a change. “ Vanessa held up the bag she had brought and came around the desk. “Now I know that you have food here and your day chef may get offended.” She paused then. “Don’t tell Tobias either. I wanted to surprise you so didn’t call them.”

“I won’t tell. “ He paused. “Maybe. What you gonna give me to not tell?”

“Ohhh..bribery is against the law.” She stopped beside him and set the bag on the desk. “Hmmm…I’m going to think of something.”

She lifted her head and he met her kissing her gently. Vanessa placed her hands on his chest. They pulled back and stared into each other’s eyes.

“Busy day.” She wasn’t asking.

“Yeah.” Stephen slid his hands around his waist. “I was looking forward to a break and seeing you. Thought I would need to cancel.”

“I came to you instead.” Vanessa smiled. “Let’s eat and tell each other about our days.”

“Sounds good to me.” He kissed her again and thought of how great it was to have her here.

Chailyn slowly opened the door and looked. When she saw the room was empty she breathed out in relief and scurried inside. Cautiously she closed the door making sure it made no sound. She tiptoed deeper into the room leaving the lights off. The sunshine coming in the patio door and windows gave enough for her to see. She sat on the couch and breathed out.

“Why are you being so sneaky?”

She shivered at the whispered question from that familiar deep sensual baritone voice. Chailyn looked from where he had spoken. She hadn’t seen him where he was sitting. He stared at her with those intense light gray eyes. He lowered his curly lashes shielding his eyes from view briefly. A slight smile curled his full lips that looked so very soft. His red hair surrounded a face that should be deemed dangerous to the libido.

“What are you doing here?” She countered.

“Probably doing the same thing as you. Hiding.” Payne shrugged. “I happen to get here first.”

“I needed a break.” Chailyn sighed. “Great minds think alike.”

“Exactly.” Payne lifted an eyebrow. “So are you coming to join me? Or did you want to be hidden all by yourself over there on the couch?”

Chailyn rose and walked over to join him. He tugged her down so she sat on his lap in the arm chair that was adjacent to the patio doors. Chailyn sighed as he cuddled her. She kissed his chiseled cheek.

“This is what I needed and didn’t know it.” She sighed.

“It was.” He hugged her. “Hidden with you is so much better.”

“It is.” Chailyn cupped his face. “It’s always awesome when we do things together. Even if it’s hiding.”

They laughed.

Atkins passed the living room but stopped and backed up. Curious he looked at her but she didn’t even notice him.

“What has you frowning?” He asked as he went towards her.

“I swear my sister.” Her brows furrowed. “Makes me so confused.”

“That’s nothing new.” Atkins shrugged. “What did she do now? Is she still talking about the codeword for sex? Trying to make people uncomfortable by talking about it.” He laughed. “Although it’s funny as hell.”

“You and she are so alike. You like making people squirm.” Sawyer poked him in the shoulder.

“Yes I do.” He grabbed her finger and kissed it gently. “so tell me what mischief has your sister gotten into now?”

“Bread.”

He blinked then shook his head. “I’m going to need more than that.”

“She now seems to be fascinated with it. Baking?” Sawyer shook her head. “Asher has never shown interest in that. I can only imagine baking and Asher would be a disaster. But she said Terrence was going to teach her. She also mentioned something about tart. I have no idea what that is.”

“Are you sure bread or baking isn’t a substitution for sex?” Atkins stared at her. “How could you not know what tart is?”

“No I thought it was about sex but she corrected me and said no.” Sawyer rubbed along the bridge of her nose. “My sister confuses me a lot. And why do you sound so disbelieving that I don’t know what tart is. I know it’s some kind of pastry or something but I’ve never heard of it.”

“It’s a thing from where our family is originally from.” Atkins shook his head. “This is on me. No it’s on the family and friends who know what it is for not having educated you on the joys of it.”

“You said a whole lot of words but none of it made sense.” Sawyer rolled her eyes. “My sister already confuses me enough. I don’t need you to do it too. At least not in this case.”

“It will become clear soon.” Atkins mind started to race and he smiled. “I’m going to share with you a scrumptious conundrum.”

Sawyer’s expression and eyes changed. He could tell he had hooked her with his words. Now that he had her intrigued he was going to have fun.

“We’re going to go on a fun adventure together.” Atkins rubbed his hands together. “And you get to this time maybe confuse or outmaneuver your sister.”

“Tell me more.” Sawyer leaned forward.

Atkins knew that would’ve gotten her attention even more. Although they liked to deny it the sisters were competitive in their own way. It was intriguing to watch them. In this case Atkins was going to enjoy this scrumptious conundrum.

“I’m going to get this.” Asher glared. “You’re not going to beat me. If I can master all the things I have you’re not going to be my defeat.”

“Asher.” The voice that usually calmed her came.

“It’s ok.” Asher growled. “I’ve got this.”

“I know you do but we all need help sometimes.” Terrence said gently.

She sighed. She knew he was right but she really wanted to do this for him. She looked up at him. From the start he wasn’t easy to dismiss. The man was magnetic and he did the one thing she wasn’t used to—treated her like a person. He had captured her with his warmth and being down to earth. He was also a good conversationalist. She loved being around a man with a brain.

“Why is this so difficult?” Asher held up her hands. “It shouldn’t be this difficult. I followed the directions.”

“I know you did.” Terrence came towards her and kissed her gently. “There’s an innate thing to baking. It’s not just about following the directions. It’s sort of a feeling.”

“So you can teach me this like you taught me,” Asher blew out a breath to get her hair that had escaped out of her eyes. “Uno.”

“You know I only think of that when it involves any of my friends or siblings. “Terrence eyes twinkled.

“I know you don’t like to think of them having sex.” Asher rolled her eyes.

“Uno. The word is Uno.” Terrence teased.

“You and your family and friends are so weird.” Asher chuckled. “They all get so uptight, demure or duck the conversation when sex is involved.”

“That might be my fault.” Terrence smiled sheepishly.

“I know. Why do you think I mess with them and ask all the questions? I like seeing them squirm.” Asher winked.

Terrence chuckled and kissed her again before looking her in the eyes. “You got this.” Terrence looked around at the flour strewn all over-the-counter. “Although I wonder why you didn’t start with something easy like a cake. “

“You like pie. The noise you made when you had that pie I wanted to give you that. Well outside the bedroom.” Asher blew out another breath. “Whoever thought making crust would be so hard?”

“Anyone who has made pie. Crust is one of those things many bakers struggle with at first.” Terrence took her flour covered hands in his and squeezed them gently. “That’s why some don’t even make crust and just use the store-bought.”

“But… wait there’s store-bought crust.” Asher cried then shook her head. “No. I want to make it or not at all. Show me.”

“Sure. You go clean your hands. Then get the ingredients so we can start over.” Terrence gently turned her to the sink. “I’ll just clean this up while you do that.”

Asher went to the sink and started cleaning her hands.

“Note to self don’t ever eat tart around Asher.” Terrence muttered. “I could only imagine trying to teach her to make tart. There’s not enough alcohol in the world.”

Asher finished washing her hands then pulled out her cell. She typed a quick note then waited for the reply. She smiled and started to bounce.

“After you show me how to make pie we’re going to make tart. It’s from where your home originally was.” Asher turned to Terrance.

The look of horror on his face made her laugh. She ran to him and hugged him.

“Pie. Then tart. And somebody mentioned bread. There are all sorts of bread to be made. They mentioned Dumb Bread that’s also where you are originally from.” Asher bounced as she held him.

She ignored as he got stiffer and stiffer. Terrence groaned loud and long. She ignored that to. She was so getting into this baking thing.

“Who the heck have you been texting?” Terrence blew out a deep breath. “It’ll be fine. I’ll find something else to distract you.”

“Really. You really think so.” Asher wiggled her eyebrows.

Terrence stared at her and sighed. “I’m so doomed.”

“Yep. This is a great result having a baking effect. I love how the things you do can affect me. “Asher kissed him on the chin. Then turned to gather the ingredients for the pie crust.

“The baking effect.” Terrence snorted. “That’s one way to think of it.”

Asher snickered. She knew no matter what he said or how he acted he’d enjoy teaching her something new. Just like before and many times to come. She was going to enjoy their journeys in the baking effect.

“Hey maybe we can pull in others to do this to.” Asher bounced a few times. “Maybe they’d be more forthcoming to discuss about baking.”

“So you’d give up your teasing them about sex?” Terrence chuckled. “Why don’t I believe that?”

“Because you know me so well. I can multitask.” Asher laughed.

Jameson frowned not liking what he was seeing that was happening. He went to back out but Tiana glanced at him.

“No.”

At her one word his shoulders slumped knowing he was caught. He shuffled forward dragging his feet. He really wanted to get out of this. Tiana patted next to her and he knew he was doomed. He sat and sighed loudly.

“You promised to watch these with me.” Tiana pointed out.

“It was a moment of weakness or insanity.” Jameson crossed his arms over his chest. “Any man wouldn’t want to watch this with you.”

“Stop your pouting.” Tiana kissed his gently. “You’re sexier than him. And I love you.”

“But you ogle him and make all these noises.” Jameson said. “It’s a little disconcerting how you get.”

“Like how you get with one of your favorite movies.” Tiana lifted her eyebrow. “Do we need to talk about the last time we watched Lady Hawke or Pretty Woman?”

“We agreed never to discuss it.” Jameson cleared his throat. “Let’s get this torture started.”

“And you agreed to be enthusiastic and not make any snarky comments.” Tiana stared at him.

“Yay for our Jason Statham Transporter movies binge-watching.” Jameson waved his hands.

“Snark masked as enthusiasm.” Tiana snorted.

“You’re enjoying torturing me.” Jameson said. “Until you I loved these movies. Now because of your not so casual way you act when you see him and these movies I’m…”

“Still love them but like to mess with me acting like you don’t.” Tiana rolled her eyes.

Jameson didn’t say a word. He wasn’t about to feed her not so casual movie fascination. Tiana laughed and snuggled into him.

“I’m gonna remember this when we are watching some of your favorite movies.” She poked him in the side.

“That’s fine.” Jameson took her hand and kissed her fingertips. “And I’ll remind you to be enthusiastic and no snarky comments.”

“That’s fine.” She smiled. “Let’s both agree we have a not so casual way with things we enjoy.”

“True. Like how you get about music-”

She cut him off. “Let’s not go there. You should know better than to mess with a woman’s playlist.”

He laughed. Her reaction had been worth it.

“You just do these things to get a rise out of me.”

“Yep.” He agreed. “You get the sexiest not so casual look.” Jameson kissed her on the tip of her nose.

“You’re so strange.” She wrinkled her nose.

“Yep.” He chuckled. “Now are you starting the movie or can I escape. Run for the hills. Run like my ass is on fire.”

She clicked on movie and rested against him.

“I guess there’s no running.” Jameson said.

“Maybe I just want to be close to the man I love. The man who will watch these awesome movies with me with enthusiasm and no snark.” Tiana smirked.

“None. Yay for movie time.” Jameson deadpanned.

Tiana laughed. They settled in to enjoy the movie.

“Alec watched from the doorway. He smiled as he saw she was lost in a book. That was her usual way to relax.

“Nolan.” He called softly so as not to startle her.

She lifted her head. Her light gray gaze was glazed. He stifled a chuckle. It was her usual when she was reading and was pulled out of a book.

“Nope…you know the rule.” She glared at him.

Alec was again drawn in by those eyes which, against her honey-toned skin, captured him. Nolan’s beauty went way beyond skin. It was in everything she did. She had a personality to match, was sassy and his. She studied him.

“Nope…none of that sexy look. You know the rule.” She smiled causing those dimples he wanted to kiss to flash.

“No disturbing you when you are reading.” Alec had heard her say that often and respected the rule…well mostly he did or tried to.

She blew him a kiss. “Good.” She lowered her head.

Before she could start reading again Alec said. “Let’s have an adventure.”

Nolan looked at him again. “Ohhh…here or someplace else.”

“Someplace else.” Alec walked over to her and held out his hand.

She placed hers in his and let him pull her up off the couch. She looked at her sandals and went to slip them on.

“No need for those.” He pulled her close to him. “I have us set up in the backyard.”

“Ahhh…a close to home adventure.” Nolan smiled.

Her smile reached her eyes. Alec loved her glow of happiness. It took his breath away. He kissed her gently then led her to the sliding glass doors. He opened it and led her outside.

“The other day when I told Vanessa I was headed home to have an adventure with you she almost hurt herself.”

“Huh.” Alec went to the hammock. “Why would she almost hurt herself?”

“She was laughing so hard because she thought I was referring to sex.” Nolan rolled her eyes. “She thought that was our code for it.”

Alec stopped and stared at her. “Really.” He chuckled. “At least that’s better than how some of our friends were calling it Uno. That confused me. I thought they were talking about the game since we are all so crazy about it. But when I found out it was, so they don’t have to think of their siblings or friends having sex they made me wonder.”

“No need to wonder.” Nolan smiled. “All of them are weird.”

“True.” Alec continued and stopped by the hammock.

“I see you already have us set up for our adventure.” Nolan held up her book. “Yours or mine.”

The table next to the hammock had his book and some other things. The pitcher was filled with lemonade and he has already poured them each a glass.

“How about we start with yours then finish with mine.”

“Yep.” Nolan winked.

Alec got in the hammock and leaned back. He helped her get settled against him. She snuggled in.

“You know you’re telling me about Vanessa laughing now makes sense why Stephen laughed when I told him the same thing. About the adventure.” Alec laughed. “He didn’t tell me why he was laughing.” He paused. “I wonder how many of them think that we’re having sex when we talk about adventure.”

“Probably all of them.” Nolan shook her head. “All weird.”

“Yep.” He pulled her closer. “So did you correct Vanessa on what we mean by adventure?”

“Yes.” Nolan sighed. “It just made her laugh harder.”

“Why?”

“Because all of the weirdo’s were talking about how we seemed to have a lot of adventures.” Nolan snorted. “And since they told Asher what they thought we meant by adventures,” She chuckled. “she wanted adventures with Terrance.”

Alec laughed and couldn’t seem to stop.

Nolan smacked him on the arm. “Stop laughing. Asher has been texting me about what sort of Adventures I found was the most fun. You know she had a warped filter.”

He finally controlled himself. “Why didn’t you correct her?”

“I did. I even sent her a list of our adventures. Thank God, she finally believed me.”

Alec inhaled and held in his laugh. A ding caught his attention. He picked up his cell where he had set it on the table beside him. Nolan’s cell was also beside his. Hers made a sound also. She picked up hers as he unlocked his cell. He read the text and laughed.

“Shit, it’s Asher again.” Nolan muttered. “I hope she isn’t sending me any more links.”

“Links?”

“She thought I was being shy so sent me some links she found adventurous.” Nolan chuckled. “They were…let’s say interesting. I hope Terrance is flexible.”

“We’ll check out these links later.” Alec kissed her by her ear.

“I bookmarked them,” She looked at him over her shoulder.

“Good.” Alec smiled. “So, what does Asher have to say?”

“She sent a picture and says she is enjoying adventures with Terrance.” Nolan held the phone so he could see.

Alec closed his eyes. “Ummm…I really don’t want to see a naked Terrance.”

“It’s not that sort of picture.” Nolan said drily. “She believed me about the sort of adventure we have and decided to have the same with Terrance.” Nolan’s phone dinged again then again then a whole lot of dings. “Wow. So many of our friends and family by blood and choice are having adventures. The adventure is spreading.”

Alec opened his eyes and looked as Nolan read the texts from their friends and family by blood and choice.

“Maybe we should suggest a get together for us to all have an adventure together.”

“Sure.” Nolan paused. “But we need to make sure Asher understands what kind of adventure we are having. Nothing sexual.” Nolan muttered. “And some of the others also. They are weird.”

The phones, both his and hers, continued to buzz with messages. He took the cell from her and set his and hers down on the table beside them.

“We’ll get back to them later. For now, let’s get our own adventure started.”

“Who texted you?” Nolan asked.

“Terrance. He was thanking me for the adventure. And has a whole bunch of emojis. I didn’t know what most of them meant.” Alec chuckled. “I had no idea if he was referring to the adventure we do or the sexy one everyone though we were doing.”

“Weird. All strange.”

“And since we are friends or related then so are we.” Alec tapped the book she held.

“Of course.” She chuckled. “And I’m good with that.”

“Me too. Now onto the adventure.”

“This was the best idea I had.” Nolan sounded smug.

“It was. Reading together is awesome. Reading to each other from whichever book we might be reading is an adventure.” Alec remembered when she had first told him – let’s have an adventure.

He had thought she was referring to something else. Although he hadn’t told her that. He knew she knew. Yeah, his mind had went down the sexy rabbit hole. But when she explained he was all in. They both loved to read. They read many of the same genres too. They’d had many rousing discussions about the books.

“Let’s have an Adventure!” He turned her head then kissed her.

When he released her, she winked then turned. She opened the book then started to read. Alec relaxed ready to enjoy their latest adventure.

Page Brief ~ A Break on a Busy Day

Today’s Page Brief features characters from Unexpected Dare, Impulse, Book #3. Enjoy!

From time to time there’s multi-part Page Brief’s that go together. I think of it as a Page Brief Serial and I name them. The below Page Brief Serial Phenomenon Objectives features the books at the time I wrote these Page Brief’s that were available in my Impulse series. Eventually when books are released in the Impulse series an Page Brief might be written and if it is it will be added to the Phenomenon Objectives Page Brief Serial. So this Page Brief Serial is a continuous one (at my discretion/time permits).

Phenomenon Objectives is a multi-part Page Brief Serial and best read in order for the most enjoyment. They are usually in order of the Impulse series for which they are written about (unless otherwise noted).

This might be a rough draft so excuse any typos and so on.

Stephen stretched then looked at the time and winced. He was going to be late and he hated being late. He picked up the phone to call Vanessa. A knock on the door made him look up. He set the phone down then rose.

“Vanessa.” He smiled watching her stride in.

“Figured you’d get caught up in paperwork so bringing food to you for a change. “ Vanessa held up the bag she had brought and came around the desk. “Now I know that you have food here and your day chef may get offended.” She paused then. “Don’t tell Tobias either. I wanted to surprise you so didn’t call them.”

“I won’t tell. “ He paused. “Maybe. What you gonna give me to not tell?”

“Ohhh..bribery is against the law.” She stopped beside him and set the bag on the desk. “Hmmm…I’m going to think of something.”

She lifted her head and he met her kissing her gently. Vanessa placed her hands on his chest. They pulled back and stared into each other’s eyes.

“Busy day.” She wasn’t asking.

“Yeah.” Stephen slid his hands around his waist. “I was looking forward to a break and seeing you. Thought I would need to cancel.”

“I came to you instead.” Vanessa smiled. “Let’s eat and tell each other about our days.”

“Sounds good to me.” He kissed her again and thought of how great it was to have her here.
