Daisy nodded, wiping away her tears. “Okay. I just need some time to process everything.”

Nate leaned down and kissed her forehead. “I’ll do everything in my power to make you happy, Daisy. I promise.”

Daisy smiled weakly at him. “I know you will. I love you.”

“I love you too,” Nate said, his voice filled with emotion.

They left Edward Hall’s kitchen and headed towards her buggy. It was a beautiful evening, the sky painted with shades of pink and orange. But Daisy couldn’t appreciate the beauty of it. Her heart was heavy with sadness and hurt.

As they drove to Nate’s place, Daisy couldn’t help but feel like she was losing a part of herself. Her brothers had always been there for her through thick and thin. And now, they were pushing her away.

But as Nate held her hand and whispered sweet nothings in her ear, she realised she wasn’t losing everything.

She still had him.

She still had her mum.

Chapter Eighteen

Daisy

Daisy followed Nate to the side entrance of his apartment. There were wooden steps leading up the side of the workshop and up to a door. The square glass on the top half of the door was in darkness. Nate fumbled with his keys, found the right one and slipped it into the lock. He turned the key and pushed the door open, and then he leaned in and flipped the switch.

“I wasn’t expecting company, so it might look like a college dorm.”

Daisy stepped over the threshold after Nate and closed the door behind her. The room was all male, but it was neat as a pin. It was one large room that stretched over the workshop. In the far corner was a door she presumed was the bathroom. His double bed in the far corner was in darkness but was made and had two cushions balanced on top of the pillows.

“This is lovely,” she said, walking over to the long sofa in front of a wide-screen TV mounted on the wall.

Nate chuckled. “I can tell you’re not impressed. I’m more of a simple guy, Daisy. I don’t need much to be happy.”

“I’m not judging,” she said, taking a seat on the sofa. “It’s just that I’m used to seeing places with a lot of decor and personal touches. But you’re right, this is really cosy.”

Nate sat down beside her, their bodies almost touching. “I’m glad you like it. Can I get you something to drink?”

“Water?”

Nate got up and walked over to a fridge in the kitchen area, grabbed a bottle of water, and returned to hand it to Daisy. As she took a sip, she couldn’t help feeling Nate was her hero standing up to her brothers.

His dark hair was messy, and his grey eyes sparkled with love in the dim light.

Daisy wanted to forget that her brothers had walked out and not let her explain. She had to get to work the following day early, so staying with Nate was comforting, but she needed to confront them at some stage.

If they wanted her out, they needed to tell her. Until then, she’d carry on with Edward Hall accounts but get in contact with Warren for him to take over.

Nate sat on the sofa and took a swig of his water. Daisy watched him as he drank, admiring the way his adam’s apple bobbed up and down with each swallow. She found herself leaning closer to him, her body almost touching his. Nate noticed her proximity and turned to face her, his stormy grey eyes locking onto hers. There was a moment of silence as they stared at each other, the tension between them palpable.

Suddenly, Nate leaned in and pressed his lips to hers.Daisy was on him in a flash, needing to feel something other than abandonment.

Their tongues danced together in a sensual tango as Nate’s hand snaked its way up her thigh. Daisy moaned into his mouth as he squeezed her thigh, her body coming alive with desire.

“Let’s go to bed,” Nate suggested. “Let me take your mind off what you said and didn’t get to say to your brothers.”

Daisy felt a rush of heat spreading through her body as Nate’s hand moved higher up her thigh. She leaned into him, her lips never leaving his, as he stood up and pulled her with him. Nate led her towards the bed, his hands roaming over her body as they walked. Daisy was lost in the moment, her mind consumed by the desire she felt for him. When they reached the bed, Nate pulled her close and kissed her deeply once more, his hands undressing her as they explored her body.

Daisy was drowning in the sensations, her mind consumed by the pleasure she was feeling and nothing else. Every touch, every kiss sent shivers down her spine as Nate drove her higher and higher towards ecstasy. She felt his lips move down her neck, his hands exploring her breasts as he continued to drive her wild with desire. Daisy moaned softly, her body arching towards him as she reached the edge of pleasure.

Nate sensed her need and gently pushed her onto the bed, planting soft kisses. She panted as he took one of her nipples in his mouth, sucking gently. Nate’s lips on her body were driving her wild, her body trembling with desire. She wanted him inside of her, wanted to feel the pleasure he was creating deep inside of her.
