Chapter 1- Mature
Pain, that is only thing she could feel. Her head was throbbing, she tried to move but her body felt to heavy. She’d never drink again. Clint’s body move next to her, his arms wrapped around her waist pulling her close to his body. She realized neither were wearing clothes, she smiled pressing her body into his, she heard him groan. Nora gasped as his fingers started to move on her body. She moved her hands to his head as he kissed her neck. She felt her body turn hot, her body hadn’t been this turned on in years, not since Bo. She mentally slapped herself. Thinking about your ex-husband who happens to be your boyfriend’s brother, while you are in bed together, is not a good thing.
She gasped as he moved and rolled over her body. She moaned as he grabbed her hips and pressed their bodies together. Her hands wove into his hair holding him as his kissed her collar bone. She opened her eyes. She realized she wasn’t in her or his bedroom, instead one of the guest rooms. Her back arched as his mouth neared her breasts. She stiffened as she saw a brown head instead of silver.
“Bo?”
Bo slowly stopped kissing her body and lifted his head. He smiled at her.
Bo slowly stopped kissing her body and lifted his head. He smiled at her.
“Hey Red.”
She was confused, this had to be a dream. Bo wouldn’t be happy about being in bed with her and certainly wouldn’t be making love to her. Bo leaned down, their lips meeting. She felt herself melt. This was most definitely a dream and she was going to enjoy it. She wrapped her legs around his waist and rotated her body into hers. Bo's head lifted groaning and began rotating into her body as well. Nora’s arousal spiked even higher.

Bo's head lifted groaning and began rotating into her body as well. Nora’s arousal spiked even higher.
Bo moved his hand to her face causing her to look up into eyes. Her breath stopped, even in her dreams ,those eyes filled with love, always made her heart hurt just a little. She had lost that love in real life. Bo leaned down kissing her gently as she felt his body nudge at her entrance. She held him tight as his hips moved forward, his tip starting to slip inside her body. They both began to pant as their body joined completely, Bo slowly began to rock his body, Nora fought closing her eyes, he felt so amazing. This dream was one the most intense she had every experience. Both stopped their movements when there was knock. Their eyes meet then looked at the door. Bo leaned down to her ear.
“Ignore it.”
She nodded, Bo began to rock his body again. Nora bit her lip as her body climbed higher. The door knocked again, both ignored it as their bodies crashed together. Nora screamed as her climax hit her suddenly and hard, she felt Bo hands wrap around her hips and push her hard against the mattress, he thrusted hard as he fell off the edge with her. Nora panted as they held each other tight, she couldn’t remember the last time she had felt this good.

She heard the door fly open, she ignored it, this dream was to exquisite she was going to enjoy it as long as she could.
“What in the hell?”
She jumped at the loud voice. Nora felt her eyes widen when she saw Clint. Bo quickly go off her. She saw Bo’s face turn white. She just felt confusion, then it hit her, this was not dream.
Chapter 2
Nora scrambled to cover her body. She could see Clint’s face turning red.
“So how long has this been going on.”
Neither of them spoke. Bo was still white as sheet as his eyes stayed on her. She looked at him. She looked back at Clint who was ranting and calling them both all sorts of names.

“Clint, please stop.”
“Why should I? I just walked in on you and my brother having actual sex, not about to, but actually having sex.”
“Clint I thought it was a dream.”
Clint laughed obviously in disbelief. Bo remain quiet.
“Why should I? I just walked in on you and my brother having actual sex, not about to, but actually having sex.”
“Clint I thought it was a dream.”
Clint laughed obviously in disbelief. Bo remain quiet.
“A dream? You dream of my brother often?”
Nora felt herself blush as she looked away.
Nora felt herself blush as she looked away.
“Oh, I see. You know Nora, I asked you before we started to see each other if you feelings for Bo were strong.”
“Dreams are not feelings.”
“What about you little bro, you dream about screwing my girlfriend often? Is that what you thought too?”
Bo was dressing, he didn’t say a word. He started to leave. Clint grabbed his arm.
“Dreams are not feelings.”
“What about you little bro, you dream about screwing my girlfriend often? Is that what you thought too?”
Bo was dressing, he didn’t say a word. He started to leave. Clint grabbed his arm.
“You owe me answers Bo.”
Bo jerked out of his grip.
Bo jerked out of his grip.
“My answer is, you should have never started to date my ex-wife, not just any ex-wife, but Nora. You KNEW what she was to me, you KNEW she was the love my life, but you dated her anyways.”
“So you decided to sleep with her?”
Bo shook his head, then left the room. Leaving Nora alone with Clint. Clint looked at her disgusted.
“You better pack, Dorian and David are kicking us all out.”“So you decided to sleep with her?”
Bo shook his head, then left the room. Leaving Nora alone with Clint. Clint looked at her disgusted.
She jumped as Clint slammed the door when he left. She sat on the bed still naked, confused, and hung over.
How in the hell did this even happen?
Chapter 3
Nora slowly packed, she felt horrible. Part of it was the hangover, but another part was what happened between her and Bo. She had no clue what to do next. She looked up when her door opened. Clint came in without looking at her.
“Palace has rooms for us. I got one for you and Matthew.”
“Thank you.”
Clint went to leave, then stopped.
“Thank you.”
Clint went to leave, then stopped.
“How long have you and Bo been sleeping together?”
Nora shook her head.
Nora shook her head.
“We haven’t, what you walked in on..I don’t what happened, but that was the first time Bo and I have, umm, been intimate since our divorce.”
Clint still wouldn’t look at her.
Clint still wouldn’t look at her.
“I think we should stop seeing each other.”
Nora nodded.
Nora nodded.
“Me too.”
“You lied to me. You still love him.”
Nora felt a lump in her throat.
“You lied to me. You still love him.”
Nora felt a lump in her throat.
“Clint I’ve lied to myself for a decade, I tried to convince myself I don’t love your brother. I’ve been with different men, tried to move on. I have always loved him. Clint I had no choice but to try to move on. Bo shut me out and made it clear he’d never forgive or love me again. So I did my best to try to forget how much I love him, but I can’t.”
Clint looked right into her eyes.
Clint looked right into her eyes.
“Nora don’t kid yourself, Bo never stopped loving you, he just hid it with anger.”
Nora shook her head.
Nora shook her head.
“No, Clint he doesn’t love me. Last night we just drank too much, neither of realized what was really going on.”
“You two are amazing. You two have hurt so many people because of this. I am not just talking of what I walked into, but how many hearts between the two of you have you broke because you can’t let go of each other.”
Nora slammed her suitcase shut.
“You two are amazing. You two have hurt so many people because of this. I am not just talking of what I walked into, but how many hearts between the two of you have you broke because you can’t let go of each other.”
Nora slammed her suitcase shut.
“STOP IT! He doesn’t love me, this morning was nothing more than sex for him.”
Clint scoffed then left.
Clint scoffed then left.
Nora took a deep breath trying to control her anger and tears trying to escape. Clint was right, she had hurt too many people because she couldn’t let go. But he was dead wrong about Bo.
Bo didn’t love her, no matter how much she wished it was true.
Chapter 4
Nora helped Matthew with his suitcase as they moved into the Palace temporarily.
“Mom when do think we’ll be able to move back home?”
Nora shook her head.
Nora shook her head.
“I don’t know honey, I am working on it. There is a lot of red tape to get through. At least the Palace is nice.”
Matthew smiled.
Matthew smiled.
“And I got both of my parents here! It is going to be great!”
Nora faked a smile and nodded. She was happy Matthew was excited, but her heart and mind were so confused. She didn’t want to see Bo yet, she was sure she didn’t want to hear what he had to say about this morning. She was sure it wouldn’t be anything pleasant.

“Can I go see Dad?”
“Not until you unpack your case. As soon as you do you can go.”
Matthew started to unpack his stuff very quickly. Nora walked towards her room to do the same. Her mind was not on her chore, but on the night before. She was trying to put the pieces together. She remembered the drinking, she remembered the card game. She was sure she fell asleep on the couch. How in the hell did she end up in his bedroom?

“MOM! I’M GOING TO DAD’S ROOM.”
Nora was brought out her thoughts.
“Ok sweetie, be back in time for dinner.”
“I will, can dad come to dinner too?”
Nora felt her heart squeeze. She wasn’t ready.
“I will, can dad come to dinner too?”
Nora felt her heart squeeze. She wasn’t ready.
“Not tonight honey, let’s just settle in first.”
“Oh, alright.”
Nora could hear the disappointment in his voice. The door opened and closed a moment later. She began to put her clothes away again. She lifted a red nighty out, she had a flash of memory.
“Oh, alright.”
Nora could hear the disappointment in his voice. The door opened and closed a moment later. She began to put her clothes away again. She lifted a red nighty out, she had a flash of memory.
She woke to noise, she lifted her head and saw Bo walk into the living room. He smiled at her and lifted his bottle.
“Hey Red.”
She smiled as he sat on the couch next to her. His hands reached down and stroked her hair. He sighed.
“I should head to bed.” He looked towards the stairs. “I don’t know if I make it up there.” Nora giggled. “What do say Red, you want to help my drunk ass up there?”
“I am drunk too.”
He smiled.
“I am drunk too.”
He smiled.
“Then we’ll help each other, come on.”
They both struggled and giggled as they helped each other upstairs. They reached Bo’s room first. Nora laughed and leaned against his door. Bo moved his hands on either side of her head he smiled at her.

“You are still so beautiful.”
Nora felt herself blush.

“I love you Red.”
Nora heart stopped.
Nora heart stopped.
“Bo you are drunk.”
“Yes I am, but that doesn’t mean I am not deeply in love with you.”
He moved his hands to waist and kissed her again. Nora moaned and wove her hands through his hair. Bo hands moved down her thighs and began to lift her slip over her hips. Nora wrapped her leg around his hip as they began to grind their lower bodies together. Nora reached between them and quickly undid Bo’s pants, they quickly fell around his ankles.

“Please Red I want to be with you.”
She sighed and nodded.
She sighed and nodded.
“I love you Bo.”
“And I love you Red.”
Nora sat on her bed her head in her hands. Her and Bo had made love last night. Did he remember it? Is that why he began to make love to her in the morning? Did he really love her?
She felt pain deep in her heart as she realized he was drunk and probably just wanted sex, he didn’t love her. She fought tears, when would she learn?
Nora heard Matthew coming back to the room. She wiped away her tears and headed out of her room.
“Bo don’t. If you need anything I’ll be in the other room.”
Nora gently removed his hand from hers and went to the living room. She went to the couch, she felt the tears start. This had to stop, she looked over to the bedroom. She and Bo would have this out once and for all tomorrow.
Matthew let her go. She watched as they left together. She sat down on the couch. Her heart ached for her son. She could only pray he’d handle the day okay and that he could move past what he had learned.
Chapter 5
Nora slipped into her office early in the morning. Renee agreed to take care of Matthew as she looked more into David’s inheritance. She read the will over and over again. They only way they could really fight this was to prove David wasn’t Asa’s son, they’d need a DNA test. She put together a petition to just that. She sighed, her mind wasn’t able to concentrate. She kept thinking about her night with Bo and the morning after. She felt her body flush, even after all this time Bo could make her body feel like fire. No man had ever come close to making her feel like he did. No man could break her heart like Bo Buchanan.
There was a knock on her door.
“Come in.”
She stiffened when Bo opened the door. His face was tight and cold.
She stiffened when Bo opened the door. His face was tight and cold.
“Nora, I just came over to see if you figured anything out?”
His coldness raised her temper, she tried to keep it in.
His coldness raised her temper, she tried to keep it in.
“All we can do is ask for DNA test and see if he is really Asa’s son.”
“There is no other way?”
“No.”
“Nora you had to miss something.”
That made her lose it.
“There is no other way?”
“No.”
“Nora you had to miss something.”
That made her lose it.
“Excuse me?”
“You. missed. something.”
“Bo this is very important to me, it is our son’s future we talking about, that house was suppose to be his. I was going to give it to him when he graduated college.”
“That doesn’t mean you missed something.”
“You. missed. something.”
“Bo this is very important to me, it is our son’s future we talking about, that house was suppose to be his. I was going to give it to him when he graduated college.”
“That doesn’t mean you missed something.”
“You mean like you telling me you loved me just so I would have sex with you?”
Nora could see the fire in his eyes.
Nora could see the fire in his eyes.
“I am not getting into this here at work.”
“Fine. Then you need to leave so I can try to get our son’s house back.”
Bo clenched his jaw then left slamming the door behind him. She threw her paperwork down. Damn that man. She closed her eyes as some was at her door again.

“Come in.”
This time it was Clint. Oh this day kept getting better.
This time it was Clint. Oh this day kept getting better.
“Saw Bo practically running out of here. You two have lovers tiff.”
“Shut up Clint, Bo and I are not together.”
“Not together? What was that I unfortunately walked in on?”
Nora closed her eyes.
“Shut up Clint, Bo and I are not together.”
“Not together? What was that I unfortunately walked in on?”
Nora closed her eyes.
“A drunken mistake.”
“So glad I got to witness that mistake, nothing like seeing your brother slipping it to your girlfriend.”
“Shut up. What do you want?”
“To see if you found a way around David’s claims?”
“I am writing a petition to get a DNA test, not much else that can be done.”
“I want to let my lawyers to look at it.”
Nora handed him all the paperwork.

Nora handed him all the paperwork.
“Here have fun. I have to work, please leave.”
“With pleasure.”
“With pleasure.”
Clint left. Nora felt her jaw clenched from anger and stress. It was going to be a long day.
Nora took a deep breath and smiled as her son came running to them.
“That is great Matthew, you ready to head home?”
“Oh do we have to mom?”
“Sorry buddy, I am really tired.”
He sighed then nodded. All three of them got up and headed out. The tension even higher than it was before.
Chapter 6
Nora walked into the Palace, thankful to be out of work. She needed to decompress. Maybe Matthew would want to go out to Roadies tonight. She opened the door, she stopped. Bo was in the living area with Matthew. So much for decompression. She put on a smile for Matthew’s sake.
“Hey you two what is going on?”
“I made the A team mom!”
“Oh honey that is so great.”
“I made the A team mom!”
“Oh honey that is so great.”
She hugged him tight and kissed the top of his head. Matthew smiled up at her, excitement in his eyes.
“Can we all go out tonight and celebrate?”
Nora felt her heart sink, she had no desire to be with Bo at the moment. She looked at Bo, his eyes showed his dislike of her. But she smiled and looked at Matthew, she couldn’t say no to him.

“Of course honey, you choose.”
“I want Roadies!”
Nora smiled at her son, no matter what, Matthew was what really mattered.
“I want Roadies!”
Nora smiled at her son, no matter what, Matthew was what really mattered.
Neither Bo or Nora talked to each other as they went out for the night. Matthew talked and they talked to him. Luckily Matthew didn’t seem to notice how tense his parents were around each other. He was too excited. Half way into their dinner a friend of Matthew’s came into the restaurant, Matthew ran off to play a video game leaving the two of them alone.
Nora poked her food not daring to look at Bo.
“So is going to be like this from now on?”
Nora looked up at him astonished.
“So is going to be like this from now on?”
Nora looked up at him astonished.
“Bo, I don’t know how to act around you.”
“Nora last night. It.”
“We were drunk Bo.”
“Yes we were, but.”
“But what? You wanted sex, you got it by telling me you loved me.”
Nora felt chill as his voice lowed to angry whisper.
“Nora last night. It.”
“We were drunk Bo.”
“Yes we were, but.”
“But what? You wanted sex, you got it by telling me you loved me.”
Nora felt chill as his voice lowed to angry whisper.
“You really think I’d do that to you? After everything we have been through.”
Nora jaw clenched.
Nora jaw clenched.
“I don’t know what else to think Bo. You have spent years telling me I wasn’t worthy of you, that you didn’t love me and that you’d never ever forgive me. So yes, that is what I have to think.”
Bo shook his head.
“Unbelievable. I just..Nora do you think I would be so cruel?”
She batted away the tears that were starting.”
“It isn’t like this the first time Bo.”
“WHAT?”
Nora saw other people turning towards them. Bo lowered his voice.
She batted away the tears that were starting.”
“It isn’t like this the first time Bo.”
“WHAT?”
Nora saw other people turning towards them. Bo lowered his voice.
“Nora I have never done such a thing to you.”
“You told me more than once you forgave me for what happened with Sam, then you told me you lied. That was cruel Bo and very painful. You may have never told me you loved me just to get me into bed before last night, but you’ve been lonely and we were drunk. Your judgement was impaired as was mine.”

Nora could feel his eyes on her, she couldn’t look at him.
“Mom, Dad. I won the game!”Nora took a deep breath and smiled as her son came running to them.
“That is great Matthew, you ready to head home?”
“Oh do we have to mom?”
“Sorry buddy, I am really tired.”
He sighed then nodded. All three of them got up and headed out. The tension even higher than it was before.
Chapter 7
Nora woke up. Her dreams filled with had happened that night with Bo. She tried to fall back asleep, but her mind was running too fast. As the week went along things got worse between her and Bo. Not that they talked much during the week, but when they did it was often a short conversation that cut her heart. She sighed and started to get up, she jumped when she realized someone in the room with her. She quickly turned on the light.
“Bo? What in the hell are doing in here?”
“Watching you sleep.”
Nora watched him take a swig of bourbon.
“Watching you sleep.”
Nora watched him take a swig of bourbon.
“Are you drunk?”
“Yes, you seem to like me better drunk.”
Nora scoffed.
“Yes, you seem to like me better drunk.”
Nora scoffed.
“What? You think you’ll get me in bed again? You going to tell me you love me?”
“Don’t. Don’t do that Nora. I wasn’t lying. I love you.”
“Don’t. Don’t do that Nora. I wasn’t lying. I love you.”
“Bo stop it! You are drunk!”
Bo walked over to her, getting very close. His hand ran down her face.
Bo walked over to her, getting very close. His hand ran down her face.
“You are so beautiful.”
“Stop, you need to leave.”
Bo leaned in to kiss her, Nora turned her head. She felt angry tears starting.
Bo leaned in to kiss her, Nora turned her head. She felt angry tears starting.
“Stop this Bo. I don’t want this.”
Bo let her go and sat on the bed.
“You know, you say I’ve been cruel, but what about you? You dated my brother, what do you think that did to me?”
Nora laughed in disbelief.
Nora laughed in disbelief.
“What do I think? Bo you were living with Lindsay when Clint and I got together. Lindsay. A women who not only had an active role in our divorce. Her actions are what kept you away from our son for years. Then there is the fact she kidnapped me, erased my mind, and tried to kill me several times. But yes, I was the one out of line by dating Clint.”
“Lindsay meant nothing.”
“Then why in the hell did you try to marry her?”
“Then why in the hell did you try to marry her?”
Bo shrugged.
“I just thought... Nora, what do you want?”
“You need to go back to your room.”
He shook his head.
“I just thought... Nora, what do you want?”
“You need to go back to your room.”
He shook his head.
“I’ll never make it back in this condition.”
Nora grabbed a pillow.
Nora grabbed a pillow.
“Then sleep here. I will sleep on the couch. I don’t want Matthew to see you like this.”
Nora went to leave, but Bo grabbed her hand.
“Don’t leave, sleep here.”Nora went to leave, but Bo grabbed her hand.
“Bo don’t. If you need anything I’ll be in the other room.”
Nora gently removed his hand from hers and went to the living room. She went to the couch, she felt the tears start. This had to stop, she looked over to the bedroom. She and Bo would have this out once and for all tomorrow.
Chapter 8
Nora got Matthew out of the room without him knowing his father was in her bedroom. She took a deep breath and opened her door. He was still asleep. She put the coffee down and gently shook him. Bo groaned.
“Leave me.”
“No, you and I need to talk. Talk while both of us are sober and there is no one else around.”
“No, you and I need to talk. Talk while both of us are sober and there is no one else around.”
Bo opened his eyes slightly and looked at in confusion.
“Nora?”
“Here I got you coffee.”
Bo took the coffee and looked around.
“Here I got you coffee.”
Bo took the coffee and looked around.
“What am I doing here?”
Nora rolled her eyes and sat in chair next to the bed.
Nora rolled her eyes and sat in chair next to the bed.
“You got drunk and decided to sneak in and watch me sleep.”
Bo put his hand on his face as groaned.
Bo put his hand on his face as groaned.
“Do you remember what you said to me last night?”
Bo shook his head.
Bo shook his head.
“No, was it bad?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“Sorry.”
Nora sighed.
Nora sighed.
“What is going on Bo?”
“I love you.” Nora’s breath caught in her throat. “That night Nora, I may have been drunk, but I wasn’t saying it just to get you in bed. I love you. I am sorry it happened like that, I have been fighting my feelings for a long time. When you started to date Clint, I fought them harder. I even turned to Lindsay of all people. I saw you on the couch, you looked so beautiful. I just needed to hold you. Then in the morning you were in my arms, you let me make love to you again. I thought you knew. Then when you told Clint you thought it was a dream, it hurt.”

“I didn’t remember Bo, not until later that night.”
Bo looked at her.
Bo looked at her.
“And you thought I told you I loved you to get you to sleep with me.”
“Yes.”
Bo was silent for a long time.
“Yes.”
Bo was silent for a long time.
“I’m sorry. I am sorry I ever made you feel like that. I am sorry that my previous actions made you believe I’d use you like that.”
“Bo, I..I don’t know what to think. You say you love me, but only seem to come to me when you're drunk.”
Bo covered his face.
Bo covered his face.
“I can’t believe I did that last night. I swear it wasn’t my intentions. I was just angry and I drank.”
“And you sought me out for sex again.”
Bo cringed.
Bo cringed.
“I tried to get you in bed again?”
She just nodded. Bo looked at his hands.
She just nodded. Bo looked at his hands.
“sorry.”
“Where does this leave us Bo?”
He shook his head.
“Where does this leave us Bo?”
He shook his head.
“I don’t know Red. I know I love you and I know being with you that night and morning was amazing. But I have a feeling I don’t have your trust or love.”
“Of course I love you. I never stopped.” Bo looked up in shock. “But you are right, you do not have my trust. You have burned me to many times Bo. Every time I let you in you crush my heart, I can’t do that again Bo. If you don’t really love me, tell me now and I’ll let you go, I can’t take the pain of letting you in my heart only to have you toss me to the side.”
“I love you Nora.”
“What if things get hard? Will you do what you always do? Find some woman with no complications and leave me behind? This won’t be easy Bo.”
“I love you Nora.”
“What if things get hard? Will you do what you always do? Find some woman with no complications and leave me behind? This won’t be easy Bo.”
“Red, I won’t do that.”
“How do I know that? You’ve done it so many times.”
Bo got up from the bed and moved over to her.
“How do I know that? You’ve done it so many times.”
Bo got up from the bed and moved over to her.
“Red I admit I have run to other women, women who really meant nothing to me and wouldn’t challenge me, when I got scared.”
“And if you get scared again.”
Bo knelled in front of her.
“And if you get scared again.”
Bo knelled in front of her.
“I promise I’m an in this for the long run. If I get scared I’ll come to you, I will not run away. I know you don’t trust me, but please give me one more chance.”
Nora couldn’t look at him. She didn’t know if her heart could take trusting him again. Bo gently placed her face into his hands turning her so she had to look at him.
Nora couldn’t look at him. She didn’t know if her heart could take trusting him again. Bo gently placed her face into his hands turning her so she had to look at him.

Nora felt her tears starting.

Bo looked down and nodded.
Bo looked down and nodded.
“I will do whatever you want.”

Chapter 9
Nora followed Bo into the diner. She was so nervous. Bo took her hand and lead her to a table. They sat down. They looked at each other and smiled.
Bo was the first to talk.
“You look beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
The waitress came over and gave them their drinks and took their order.
“Thank you.”
The waitress came over and gave them their drinks and took their order.
They both began to talk. They stopped and smiled. Nora felt strange, in all the years she had known this man they had never had issue with conversation. They were both too nervous.
“Have you found anything about David and the will?”
“I wrote a petition for DNA, should know more tomorrow. Clint took the paperwork to give to the BE lawyers.”
“He did what? Why on earth would he do that? He has to know you are the best lawyer for this.”
Nora shrugged.
“I wrote a petition for DNA, should know more tomorrow. Clint took the paperwork to give to the BE lawyers.”
“He did what? Why on earth would he do that? He has to know you are the best lawyer for this.”
Nora shrugged.
“I think he just wants a clean cut away from me.”
“But that house is yours! Pa gave it to you, what is he going to do if you get the house back?”
“If I get back I think I am just going to let him live there and Matthew and I will move out.”
“Red no, Pa wanted you and Matthew to live there.”
“Bo, I never felt comfortable there. Your Pa gave that house to me to give to Matthew and I plan on doing that.”
“But that house is yours! Pa gave it to you, what is he going to do if you get the house back?”
“If I get back I think I am just going to let him live there and Matthew and I will move out.”
“Red no, Pa wanted you and Matthew to live there.”
“Bo, I never felt comfortable there. Your Pa gave that house to me to give to Matthew and I plan on doing that.”
“So where do you think you’ll live?”
“Don’t know yet, I’ll probably need to start looking.”
“Would you like some help?”
She smiled.
“Don’t know yet, I’ll probably need to start looking.”
“Would you like some help?”
She smiled.
“I’d love some.”
The food arrived. They chatted a bit, nothing heavy. Overall it had been a nice dinner. Bo walked her back to her room. They stayed outside of the room, not wanting Matthew to see them together.

“I had fun tonight Red.”
“Me too.”
“So I was thinking we could do the mayor’s ball together?”
“Bo, I don’t know if we should be making this public.”
“People will just think the DA and Commissioner are going together for professional reasons.”
“Bo no matter the circumstances when we are public together rumors fly.”
Bo got closer to her.
“Me too.”

“Bo no matter the circumstances when we are public together rumors fly.”
Bo got closer to her.
“At least this time the rumors would be true. It’s not like we aren’t going to this thing, we will just go together.”
She thought for moment, she was scared. Bo took her hand and kissed it. She felt her heart flutter.
“Okay, but we can’t show affection.”
Bo smiled.
Bo smiled.
“I can only promise to keep my hands to myself when others are around, but as soon as I have you alone that will be another story.”
Nora couldn’t help but smile. She went to open the door, but Bo pulled her to him kissing her passionately. Nora moaned wrapping her arms around him. They both jumped apart when the door began to open.

“Mom! Dad! Where have you been?”
“Uh we picked up dinner on the way home.”
“Oh, did you get anything for me?”
Bo lifted the bag in his hands. Matthew grinned and took the bag and ran into the room again. Nora turned to Bo.

“Come on Bo, lets go hang out with our son.”
Bo gently ran his hand down her face then went inside.

Chapter 11
Nora looked in the mirror. She smoothed her dress down. She hated formals, the clothes were uncomfortable and overall the people there were boring. Add the fact that she was going to be there with Bo, made her even more uncomfortable. She wanted to take this slow, her heart was still not ready to let him in there. She still had so many doubt and fears. The fact they were going to a very public event made her feel rushed. She sighed, but Bo was right they were going no matter what so they might as well go together. Her bedroom door opened, Matthew’s head popped in.
“Wow mom you look great!”
She smiled and walked to him kissing her cheek.
She smiled and walked to him kissing her cheek.
“Thank you sweetie.”

“Yes sweetie we did.”
“oh. why?”
“Oh, we just wanted different things and decided to go our separate ways.”
“oh. why?”
“Oh, we just wanted different things and decided to go our separate ways.”
She finally looked up at Matthew whose face was in a deep frown.
“Are okay honey?”
“Yeah, I just really liked have you and uncle Clint together. I mean if you and dad aren’t together.”
Nora took a deep breath.
“Yeah, I just really liked have you and uncle Clint together. I mean if you and dad aren’t together.”
Nora took a deep breath.
“I am sorry honey, it just was meant to be.”
The door knocked, Nora felt immense relief. Matthew ran to get the door.

“Dad!”
“Hey bud, your mom ready?”
“Hey bud, your mom ready?”
“Yeah, wait till you see her!”

“Mrs. Jones will be here at 7 to pick you up. You have your bag and everything ready to go, don’t make her wait. Be good at your sleepover. We love you.”
“Love you too!”
Nora kissed the top of his head, Bo ruffled his hair as they left. When they got to the elevator, Bo wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her gently.

“Thank you. Remember no public affection.”
Bo raised his hand.
Bo raised his hand.
“I promise, but only in public.”
She gasped as he moved his lips to the spot below her ears. He let go just as the door opened again. She felt herself getting flustered as he guided her out of the elevator. She shouldn’t have agreed to this.

“What is with all the press?”
Bo shrugged.

“You know our mayor, more press the better.”
Nora looked at him.

“Um why?”
The mayor took a drink.

“No jealousy or trying to get each other’s attention.”
Nora felt herself blush, she knew he was right. Bo quickly changed the subject.
Nora felt herself blush, she knew he was right. Bo quickly changed the subject.
“So why is there so much press?”
“Don’t know. I have to make my speech.”
Bo put his hand on her back as they moved to the center of the room. The mayor began to talk. She soon felt very bored. Bo gently tugged at her hand, she smiled and let him quietly sneak out of the room.

She giggled when he pulled her into an empty room. Their lips meet. She sighed. Even after all these years he could still make her body come alive with kissing. She gasped as he pushed her against the wall and started to kiss down her neck. She gently pushed him away.
“Not that wasn’t enjoyable, but we shouldn’t.”
Bo smiled and kissed her again.
Bo smiled and kissed her again.
“I had to meet the challenge.”
Nora laughed.
Nora laughed.
“I’ll have to challenge you more often.”
Bo answered by kissing her again. He let her go and looked back to the other room.
“Think the wind bag is done?”
“We better get in there before he finishes and pray he doesn’t ask us what we think of his speech.”
Bo took her hand heading towards the main room.
“We better get in there before he finishes and pray he doesn’t ask us what we think of his speech.”
Bo took her hand heading towards the main room.
“Easy, great. Llanview’s future really is in your hands.”
She held in a laugh as they entered the main hall. The mayor seemed to be wrapping his speech up, but the press seemed uninterested. She looked at Bo confused as the press started to look at their phones. They were such a distraction the mayor stopped talking.
“Is there something going on?”
One of the journalist handed him their phone, Nora felt her heart drop as all eyes moved to her and Bo.
The mayor got off the stage and went directly to them.
“You two follow me.”
She meet Bo’s eyes, his eyes looked as concerned as she felt. They followed him out of the room, everyone’s eyes following them out.

Chapter 12
Bo grabbed the phone, his face filled with anger.
“How in the hell did they get this?”
Nora’s body became too heavy, she collapsed on the chair.
“It doesn’t matter, what matters is the conduct of my DA and Commissioner.”
“THIS was private moment inside the DA’s house.”
“The press has this picture Bo, it isn’t private.”
“WHERE IN THE HELL DID THIS COME FROM.”
“Oh that would be from me.”
Nora and Bo turned at the shrill voice. Dorian walked in with Clint behind her. Nora closed her eyes this couldn’t be happening.

“NO! Don’t Bo. He isn’t worth it.”
“Red, he released that picture.”

Nora held to him tighter.
“Red, he released that picture.”
“I just showed this town what a type of people the DA and Commissioner really are. A traitor and a slut.”
Nora held to him tighter.
“Dorian called me last night, she had found something interesting on the surveillance camera. You should feel lucky that was one the more modest images. At least you both are mostly dressed in this one.”
Nora couldn’t even look at him.
Nora couldn’t even look at him.
“Clint never mind us, did you think about Matthew for two seconds?”
Clint growled.
Clint growled.
“He’ll be fine.”
Bo chest heaved.
Bo chest heaved.
“You will stay away from my family. You will never talk to Nora or Matthew again.”
“Matthew is my nephew.”
“A nephew you didn’t think about that when you sent this out to the press.”
“Clint he is going to be so hurt and embarrassed. Bo we need to go get him and talk to him before this hits the news cycle.”
“Matthew is my nephew.”

Bo pointed at Clint.
“This is far from over.”
“I never doubted it, now why don’t you listen to your whore and leave.”
Nora couldn’t stop Bo as he punched Clint.
“I never doubted it, now why don’t you listen to your whore and leave.”
Nora couldn’t stop Bo as he punched Clint.
“BO! NO!”
Bo backed away after one punch. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of building fast. Neither spoke as he helped her into the car. Her stomach was churning. Bo got in and started to drive.

“Bo we need to get Matthew.”
He just nodded and turned in the direction of the Jones’ house.
He just nodded and turned in the direction of the Jones’ house.
“How do we explain this Bo? I don’t even understand it.”
Bo shook his head, she could see anger radiating off him.
“Bo pull over.”
He looked at her.
He looked at her.
“Why?”
“Please.”
“Please.”
Bo slowly pulled over. She took his hand.
“Bo you need to calm down before we get Matthew.”
“I am so angry Red. How could Clint do this? That was a private moment.”
“He is hurt.”
“But to do this, knowing our son would see this.”
She ran her hand down his face.
“I am so angry Red. How could Clint do this? That was a private moment.”

Bo raised his eyebrow.
Bo raised his eyebrow.
“And what are we going to tell him?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t think, we were drunk, will be a good thing to say.”
“It’s the truth.”
“It’s complicated Nora, you know that.”
“How do you explain complicated to a 10 year old?”
“I don’t think, we were drunk, will be a good thing to say.”
“It’s the truth.”
“It’s complicated Nora, you know that.”
“How do you explain complicated to a 10 year old?”
“Damn it Clint.”
She reached out taking his face in her hands. She moved in closer as she moved his head closer to hers. Their mouths meet in an intense kiss. Nora moaned as he pulled her body closer to his. Bo hand reached around her and pushed the lever on her seat causing it move down. Bo pulled back slightly and ran hands down her body. She put her hand out stopping him.

Bo sighed and kissed her one last time. Nora moved her seat back up as he started to drive again.
Bo sighed and kissed her one last time. Nora moved her seat back up as he started to drive again.
Chapter 13
Nora padded to the door to her hotel suite. She and Bo had spent the night trying to explain the picture best they could. To say Matthew was confused was an understatement. He was excited at the idea of have his parents back together, but he didn’t understand the rest of it. She sighed, she hated that he got his hopes up. She held her breath as she opened the door. Her heart fell as the paper came in view. She could see the partial picture on the front page. Her and Bo semi dressed in a very inappropriate position, she quickly grabbed the paper and went inside She heard Bo walk out of the bathroom behind her.
“Well?”
She sighed handing the paper to him. He cursed then opened the paper.
She sighed handing the paper to him. He cursed then opened the paper.
“No comment has been made by the DA or Commissioner. One can only believe these two have had many nights just like for this since their divorce.”
Bo crumbled the paper. Nora tried to unclench her jaw.
“Bo the kids are going to be all over Matthew at school.”
“I know, but we can’t pull him out, it will make things worse for him and us.”
“I know, but we can’t pull him out, it will make things worse for him and us.”
She shook her head.
“I can’t believe Clint would do this, not for us, but because of Matthew. I thought he loved our son.”
“He’s hurt and not thinking straight.”
“He’s hurt and not thinking straight.”
“Yes, but he still had to know Bo!”
They both got quiet when Matthew opened his door, he was still very sleepy.
They both got quiet when Matthew opened his door, he was still very sleepy.
“Dad? Why are you here?”
“I stayed on the couch last night.”
Matthew just nodded and went to the kitchen and pour himself cereal. Nora looked at Bo who still had the paper in his hand. Their eyes meet, then looked over at Matthew. Nora nodded to Bo. He frowned but walked towards their son.

“Hey buddy, remember what we talked about last night?”
Matthew stopped mid chew and nodded.
Matthew stopped mid chew and nodded.
“It is in the paper. Your friends will see the article and picture. I want it to be up to you. Do you want to read the article? Other students will probably bring it, and it won’t be nice.”
Matthew’s eyes darted to the paper. Nora could seeing him thinking it over, he looked just like Bo as he did. She had wonder why they ever thought he was Sam’s, he was such a mini Bo.

“Is any of the article true?”
“Some of it, but most of it is not.”
“Some of it, but most of it is not.”
“Will you tell me what is true and what is not after I read it?”
Both Nora and Bo nodded. He put his hand out. Bo put the paper in Matthew’s hand. Matthew face screwed up when he saw the pictures. He looked at the two of them, then got off his chair and went to his room.

Nora was a bundle of nerves as he closed his door.
“Oh Bo, I hope we did the right thing.”
Bo walked over pulling her to him and kissed her gently.
Bo walked over pulling her to him and kissed her gently.
“He made the choice Red, if he doesn’t read it now, the kids at school will tell him all sorts for lies.”
“I know, it just..I can’t believe we are going to discuss our sex life with our son.”
Bo laughed and shook his head.
“I know, it just..I can’t believe we are going to discuss our sex life with our son.”
Bo laughed and shook his head.
“Well Rachel walked in on us, more than once.”
“Rachel wasn’t 10.”
“Still uncomfortable.”
“If this was us discussing sex with him, it would be uncomfortably necessary. Having discuss us having random drunken sex, while I was dating his uncle, because we got caught on tape is agonizing and unwarranted.”
“Rachel wasn’t 10.”
“Still uncomfortable.”
“If this was us discussing sex with him, it would be uncomfortably necessary. Having discuss us having random drunken sex, while I was dating his uncle, because we got caught on tape is agonizing and unwarranted.”

Matthew quietly walked over to trash and threw the paper in it. He looked over at them.
“I can’t believe anybody would believe that story. It is disgusting.”
“I know honey. Do you want to ask us anything.”
“What in that story was true? If any of it is?”
“I know honey. Do you want to ask us anything.”
“What in that story was true? If any of it is?”
Bo answered.
“Only that you mother and I were together when she and Uncle Clint were in a relationship.”
“Have you two.” Matthew’s face turned red. “Have you two been..you know. For a long time?”
“No. Sweetie that night was the first time you father and I have been together since our divorce.”
“Have you two.” Matthew’s face turned red. “Have you two been..you know. For a long time?”
“No. Sweetie that night was the first time you father and I have been together since our divorce.”
He nodded.
“Matthew? What else?”
“Did you really leave mom when she was pregnant with me?”
Nora cursed. She had forgot that one tiny line in the article. Bo looked down to the ground.

“Yes I did.”
Matthew jaw clenched.
Matthew jaw clenched.
“Sweetie, your dad was hurt by me, he thought Sam was you daddy.”
“So what? I know lots of kids who live with step fathers.”
“Matthew I have always regretted leaving like I did. Yes I was hurt, but I should have stayed in your life, even if you mother and I were over.”
“Did you love me before you knew I was your son?”
“Oh Matthew I loved you as soon as I found out your mom was pregnant and I never stopped loving you. That is why it hurt so much when I thought you weren’t mine. I thought it was better if you were with Sam.”
Matthew didn’t say anything.

“Matthew you know your dad and I love you more than anything.”
He nodded.
He nodded.
“I know this is hard, but we are together as a family now. That is what matters.”
“I know. I need to go to school.”
Nora looked at Bo.
“I know. I need to go to school.”
Nora looked at Bo.
“Okay, why don’t you get around. I’ll take you, we can talk more in the car. Man to Man.”
Matthew said nothing as he headed back to his room. Nora squeezed Bo’s hand. He looked at her.
“It will be okay Bo, he loves you.”
Bo kissed her cheek.
Bo kissed her cheek.
“I know, but can only imagine what he is feeling right now, has to be a shock.”
Matthew came back out with his school bag. Nora opened her arms, Matthew went to her, she held him tight and kissed the top of his head.

Matthew just nodded. Bo kissed her cheek.
“Come on bud, we need to go.”Matthew just nodded. Bo kissed her cheek.
Matthew let her go. She watched as they left together. She sat down on the couch. Her heart ached for her son. She could only pray he’d handle the day okay and that he could move past what he had learned.
Chapter 14
She anxiously waited for Bo to return from dropping Matthew off at school. She had called into work already, they had told her that the phone was ringing like crazy. Renee had already promised her that the Palace employees would respect their privacy.
The door finally opened. Bo walked in, his face looked concerned. She got scared.
“That bad?”
Bo looked up.
Bo looked up.
“Matthew made it okay, his buddies came right my car and surrounded him.”
“Then why do you look so concerned?”
He sighed.
“Then why do you look so concerned?”
He sighed.
“I guess I just realizing how much my actions have hurt both you and Matthew.”
She took his hands.
She took his hands.
“Oh Bo, I don’t blame you for leaving me, I hurt you very much.”
“Yes you did, but I left you alone with our son.” Nora went argue. “It doesn’t matter who we thought his father was. I should have been in his life.”
“Bo if you had know you would have been there. We can’t take back our mistakes, trust me I wish I could change everything about what happened, but we can’t. We need to let them go. Bo if we do, if we really let go, we can move on and be together.”

Bo smiled at her.
“You are right.” He kissed her hands. “Red we can do this together. Move on, be happy together.”
“Are you sure you are ready?”

He smiled grabbing her waist and pulling her to him.
“And I love you.”
He kissed her gently at first, it didn’t take long for the kiss to grow very passionate. She gasped as he quickly moved her body under his on the couch. His hands quickly moving under her shirt. She arched as he caressed her body.They both jumped when someone knocked on her door.

Bo sighed and kissed her neck then her mouth before he stood up. Nora sat up and fixed her clothes. Bo was already looking through the peephole when she stood. She heard Bo curse.
“Who is it?”
“My brother.”
“Don’t answer it.”
Clint knocked even louder.
“Don’t answer it.”
Clint knocked even louder.
“Open the damn door Nora, I know you are there. It’s about David.”
Nora and Bo both looked at each, silently agreeing to let him in. Bo finally opened the door. Clint’s face harden instantly when he saw his brother. He looked over at Nora then at Bo, he quickly walked in without saying a word. Bo closed the door.

Nora laid in bed thinking about the past few days, they had been hard and wonderful at the same time. She smiled as she thought about Bo, she felt she could finally trust him with her heart again. It was a wonderful feeling. She looked up as the door to the bathroom opened as Bo came out wearing his boxers. Bo looked up and smiled at her.

She groaned as his fingers found their final destination. Bo gasped and pulled back. She gave him a wicked smile, he groaned realizing she had nothing on underneath her nightgown.
Bo’s fingers quickly moved separating her as another stroked her wet opening. Bo nuzzled her nose as he teased her gently. She bit her lip as one finger slowly entered her body. Bo kissed down her neck as he gently started to thrust his fingers into her, his mouth moving her nightgown down, exposing her breasts as his kisses went lower.
Nora’s hands began to wander down his naked torso. Bo’s thumb found her clit just as her hands found his boxers. Her nails dug into his skin as her hips began to move on their own. Bo lifted his face up and watched her with intensity. She felt her face flush as her body climbed towards an magnificat climax. Bo leaned down again and kissed her breasts before he started to lick and nibble at each one.
Nora’s hands mindless began to move towards his manhood, she felt him suck in a deep breath as she reached his hard flesh. She started to stroke him with the same rhythm he was using on her. Her own body quickly began to close around his fingers as she began to reach her tipping point.
She whimpered as Bo suddenly pulled completely away from her. She desperately went to grab him to pull him back to her, but Bo grabbed both of her hands and pushed them onto the bed as he kissed her. Bo held her down with one hand as he reach between them removing her clothing completely, then he removed his. Nora moaned and wrapped her legs around his hips. She eagerly arched her back letting him know exactly what she wanted. Bo kissed her body, but still not giving her what she wanted.
“Oh Bo, PLEASE!”
Bo’s mouth descended on one of her breasts, she gasped and threw her head back as he twirled his tongue around one of her nipples. Bo let go of her breast and looked at her, his free hand ran down her face to her neck, he gently caressed each of her breast, then he lowered his hand till it reached her folds. He gently ran a finger down her wet opening one more time. Nora held her breath as his hand moved off her and onto his hard manhood. He smiled down at her as he held himself against her. They both gasped as he gently rubbed his tip up and down her wet body. Nora began to pant as he barely pushed himself into her body. It felt so good already. Bo leaned down kissing her, then he gently pushed the rest inside her. Both of them groaned and stilled their bodies as they both became accustom to the unbelievable intense feeling. Bo kissed her jaw.

Bo kissed her neck, the noises that came out of Bo were so hot and sexy. Her body tighten around him. Bo moved his hands to the back of the headboard, he starting to push into her with all his strength.
“Oh!”His thrusts started to become unstable. Nora moaned arching her body off the bed. Bo’s one hand moved down her body. He flicked her button. Both moaned as her body reacted. Her own hips began to move erratically. Bo watched her intently, she could see he was determined to hold off till she let go. Nora jerked her body grabbing his arms, she became unbearable tight, seconds later she lost control. He lost his battle as he join her in. Bo gripped the headboard tighter as he thrust into her one last time as he released. Nora collapsed on the bed. Bo somehow managed to hold himself up as he came down.

Nora turned in his arms and kissed him gently.
“How are you doing? With the David thing?”

Nora laughed.

Nora laughed.
“Yeah, but he is your son.”
Bo nodded.
Bo nodded.
“I honestly don’t know what to think Red. Do we just accept him, allowing to be in our lives?” Bo looked upstairs. “In our son’s life? He has pulled so many cons in his life, I don’t want him hurting Matthew.”
Nora put her arms around his neck.
“I don’t know Bo, I’ll support you no matter what your choice. But I will say this, he seemed genuinely please to be your son and he told Dorian he wants to be in your life.”
Bo nuzzled her.
“You know what, let’s talk about this later, why don’t you and I go find our room and celebrate being back in the house and in our lives.”
She giggled as he grabbed her and and started to run towards the stairs.

“What?”
“The video.” Bo’s face grew dark. “Clint has that video and probably so does Dorian.”
“Red, I’ll will get all copies of that, we can use the justice system.”
“Bo, you know as well as I do that you can’t stop this if Clint decides to release it, he probably made several copies.”
“The video.” Bo’s face grew dark. “Clint has that video and probably so does Dorian.”
“Red, I’ll will get all copies of that, we can use the justice system.”
“Bo, you know as well as I do that you can’t stop this if Clint decides to release it, he probably made several copies.”
Bo face turned angry.
“I can’t believe this, he already did the damage with that damn picture.”
“Not the damage he wanted, he wants us to be apart.”
“That video isn’t going to break us up.”
“I know, but it will humiliate us, which is what he wants.”
“It won’t humiliate me.” Bo grabbed her face and pulled her to him. “Red when we make love it is a beautiful thing. I don’t care if we were drunk and that you with Clint, you can’t tell me that video doesn’t show anything but how beautiful we are together.”
“Bo we are beautiful together, but I have no desire for my friends, family, and coworkers to know what we look like making love. Not to mention our son’s classmates.”

Bo growled.
“That is what pisses me off. This hurts Matthew more than anyone.”
“I know Bo, what are we going to do?”
Bo held her tight.
Bo held her tight.
“First I am going to make love to you. Then I am going to see my brother and try to get him to see how much he’ll hurt Matthew, I hope that can reach him.”
“I hope you can.”

“Wow.”

“Bo, we need to stop. We are lucky that a certain 10 year old hasn’t interrupted us already. Plus you need to get that video from your brother.”
