Second Chances(blair/lady)

Winston looked down at her and rolled his eyes. "You are the one who need to relax, remember?" he asked, then called for a maid to bring the all breakfast. Luckily, they were all ready working on it the kitchen, so it wasn't long before food was set on the table.

Anna sat beside Rhys at the table, took a sip of her coffee. The kitten still sat in her lap, curled up in a little ball with his casted arm sticking out. "Nyx, are you sure you don't need anything? I'll be at home all day today, so I can stay with you while you rest if you'd like." With that, she smiled.

Winston sat down between Connor and Nyx, patting the other man's thigh under the table to silently comfort him. As he began to eat, he looked over at his brother, wondering if he already tried to have a talk with Annabel. Part of him wished he hadn't, because part of his felt he had made a mistake by even suggesting it. Why steal his brother's happiness? Maybe it wasn't practical, but damn, Rhys needed to be happy.
 
Nyx smiled a little as she shifted to get comfortable, nodding as she took a cup of coffee from the maid before looking at Winston and connor shrugging. “I’d enjoy the company. I’m sure the boys would get bored laying around all day watching tv with me.”she teased a little smiling at Annabel.

Connor smiled shifting, looking relaxing at winston’s touch, taking it as a good sign that the man wasn’t hovering more, and relaxing as he realized that the woman he was starting to care for would indeed be okay, glad for all their sakes she would be. “I’ll join you two for that tv watching after I get home. IF you give me your class list, I can sign you up while I’m there anna, if you just want to stay here with nyx.”Rhys said smiling a little flicking a annoyed look at Winston, despite not wanting to upset the man more then he already was, rhys was indeed still annoyed with having been told to send Annabel away and caused last night’s grief when it didn’t seem he needed to.
 
Anna smiled and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. "My class list is on the dresser," she said, "And that would be great. We can have a girls' day." With that, she smiled over at Nyx and dug into her breakfast.

Winston looked over at Connor. "I have some work to take care of this after noon, but since the girls are planning on having their own thing today, I guess us guys can too," he said, then looked over at his brother. "Want to have a drink with us this evening? Scotch and cigars?" He raised his eyebrows, wanting to bond with his brother and try to clear up the whole Annabel situation. He figured Connor might be able to help with that, and meanwhile, it would force Nyx to rest with Annabel. Of course, he planned to leave them with a house of guards, that was for sure.
 
“Okay.I’ll do that.”Rhys said smiling a little as he ate. Looking amused at nyx’s look, who looked adorably confused and pleased all at once. He sensed his brother’s girl had never really had a chance to have a lot of normal friends, and was confused on how to treat Annabel, but it also pleased him to see them getting along.

“Ahhh, guys night sounds good to. Cigars and scotch. We should rent a movie or something.”Connor said fully relaxing at winston’s idea, knowing if nyx hadn’t been fine, he would have never suggested it. “I like that.”Rhys said smiling at his brother tilting his head as he finished his food. “I better get going if I don’t want to spend all day at school.I’ll see you guys in a few hours.”Rhys said smiling as he kissed annabel’s cheek and headed out to get ready to go and head to school.

Nyx smiled a little as she finished her food, scooting her chair back and leaning down to kiss winston’s cheek.”be careful, okay?”She muttered looking at connor,”And you two. We don’t need to make rhys and Annabel nurse us all back to health.”She muttered looking worried for them both, because she knew just how work could be dangerous, and she couldn’t help but worry for them. “Ready?”She said smiling looking at Annabel.
 
Winston nodded and leaned to her kiss. "I'm always careful," he said.

Annabel stood up with Bosley and smiled. "We will have a good time today," she said, "I haven't been able to spend time with another female in so long... I vote romantic comedies, pedicures, and lots of chocolate."

Winston chuckled and watched as the two women went upstairs, telling one of the maids to tend to their needs for the day.

He turned back to Connor and sighed. "Everything's fine," he said, "Stop looking so worried. You know I wouldn't lie to you if it was something worse." Leaning over, he kissed the other man and smirked. "Let's just get dressed and head down to my office. If you help me knock out my paper work now, the quicker we can get to out guys' night out."
 
Connor rolled his eyes.”Ha, you’re one to tell me to stop worrying, when you’re going to hover. You’re lucky she didn’t kick you out of the bedroom.”Connor said snickering a little kissing him back before pulling away. “lets.”he decided smirking a little as they headed downstairs.

Hours later connor yawned as he stretched, rubbing a hand over his face as rhys walked into the room.”I never want to do your paperwork again. I’m supposed to be on vacation, why I am I working on vacation?”he grumbled goodnaturedly, because no matter how much he complained, the man was totally incapable of not working. Even while helping Winston with his things, he’d kept checking on things in boston.”You two ready?”Rhys said as he walked into winston’s office, tilting his head a little as he studied the two.

Nyx yawned a little as she shifted, smiling a little as she looked at her freshly done nails, sighing softly. “I feel fat. Did we eat the whole thing of chocolate?”she asked rubbing a hand over her sore stomach, relaxing more. Shifting, trying to get comfortable. Despite the pain medication, the woman had a dull ache.
 
Winston chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Shut up," he said, "You would have been working anyway." He stood up and grabbed his coat, nodding to his brother. "I'm definitely ready. Need to unwind after all that paper work... I've got a table reserved at the club tonight. Something semi-private, but enough to make us all still feel young." He smirked a bit, because he was turning thirty in a couple of days, and the thought was a bit daunting...

Once at the club, Winston leaned back in his chair and puffed on his cigar. The club was pretty low-key ( a place they had been going to for years). The waitresses were scantily clad, and they were willing to do just about anything for a tip. In fact, him and Connor had quite the reputation for sharing a few of them from time to time... Tonight, however, he had no interest in them.

"So... Did you talk with your girl?" he asked, looking over at Rhys. "Because, well, I may have... poorly advised you."

Annabel laughed and looked over at the snacks they had. "Yea, and the ice cream too." She leaned against the head board and looked over at the other woman. "So, are you excited about the wedding? Have anything picked out yes? I used to dream about dress shopping..."
 
Connor leaned back in his chair as he smoked his cigar,nd while he was looking around the club,for once it was more to make sure no one was listening in then he was looking for a girl. It seemed that all three men were well and truly tied to the women in their lives as rhys to,was looking at winston instead of the girls."you offer bad advice on relationships?who would have ever thought."connor teased his friend wincing a little at the angry look rhys gave them both.

"I did. And shes decided to stay while she goes back to school."he said sounding slightly frustared because he was still a littke worried about hurting her by not being able to voice things,because he knew winston was right,it'd always be difficult for him,that wasn't going to change

"I'm nervous. I never planned on getting married,much less marrying...into this."she sighed looking around the room at the beautiful but crimminally paid for house. And even if she wanted to yell and scream it was wrong,she couldn't because she knew winston was trying to change things. All she could do was help him if she could."no. I've glanced through davids bridal books,but I really haven't started planning...you did a great job with the party,ant to help with this?"she said having only not started planning because she kept expecting winston to change his mind,that despite knowing he cared for her she worried about being abandoned. A child driven terror,but one shed had since she'd been young, being abandoned by people she loved scared her to the bone.and she'd never asked what kind of wedding winston wanted,so she was nervous about starti g to plan,so she'd been mostly putting it off.
 
Winston took a puff of his cigar and sighed. He felt a bit of relief to know that Annabel had not left him, even if he was a little surprised. Just from his own experience, woman can only handle a man who doesn't show his emotions for so long. Eventually, they want to feel the affection that they are constantly trying to give the other person.

He looked at his brother and clenched his jaw for a moment, letting the burning liquid roll down his throat before he spoke. "Does she make you happy, Rhys? Because, I want you to be happy, you know."

Annabel raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Of course! I'd love to help you plan," she said, sounding thrilled at the idea. "It has to be a big, beautiful wedding. That's what people will expect." She shrugged and took a sip of the champagne that the maid just brought up. "And, well, I'm pretty sure that if Rhys and I ever got to that point, no one would want to attend our wedding, judging by the way everyone reacted to my presence last night," she said, smirking a bit. There was some sadness in her eyes, however. "So you need you need to make your's and Winston's count."
 
Rhys tilted his head a little as he watched his brother, sipping his drink before nodding.”She does.. Happier then I thought when she was dumped on me.”he said smirking as he looked around, “So happy in fact, that being here among these scantly clad women, isn’t all that interesting. “he said snickering a little before looking at his brother, the same concern and love in his eyes. He might harass his brother, but he also wanted the best for him. “And you?Are you happy?Planning a wedding and all that?”

Nyx smiled looking amused, before nodding. “Big, and crowded. Poor Winston.”She said snorting a little at the idea, because she knew Winston would hate every minute that he was forced to socialize. Looking longingly at the champagne she sighed, knowing she couldn’t mix it with her pain medicine before smiling at Annabel.”I think if you ever make it that far, Rhys wont wait long enough to plan a wedding. There’ll be a judge and a courthouse waiting.”she pointed out, wanting the other woman to smile since she was so kind, and making fun of rhys because he would so want to tie the knot before he changed his mind. “We will. Now. Do you have any ideas for anything?I’ve never been to a wedding, so all I have to go on is movies.”
 
Winston nodded. "I'm happy," he said, "And stressed. I just wished that the business didn't make me so busy and pissed off all of the time." He took a puff of his cigar, eyeing all of the women around him. He smirked a bit. "I never thought I'd live to see the day where my little brother didn't find interest in a group of half naked women... You must really care for Annabel." He seemed amused... Really amused, and it made him think that they no longer belonged here, or any place like that. They belonged at home, with their lovers, spending casual time together... Winston wasn't getting any younger, after all.

Annabel sighed, nodding a bit. "I guess that's true," she said, seeming a bit amused at the idea of getting eloped with Rhys. It was true. He probably wouldn't be able to wait long enough to plan an actual wedding. He was much too impatient of a man. "Well, are you going to get married this spring? You could go with pastel colors... Light blues, greens, lilac." She pressed her lips together and thought about it. "I wouldn't do anything too dark, but that being said, I can't imagine Winston in a setting decorated in pastels." Smirking a bit, she sipped her wine, trying to think about it...
 
“well, don’t stress to much, old man, you’re going to get wrinkles.”Rhys said smirking a little, looking at his brother, not commenting on his feelings for Annabel. Even to someone else besides her, he couldn’t admit it. Connor snickered as he took a puff of his cigar, looking around them before nodding. “I think it does deserve a celebration of some kind.”Connor said smiling a little as he looked at Winston, raising a eyebrow as he elbowed the other man.”You look thoughtful. What are you thinking about?”he said looking amused.

Nyx smiled nodding a little before biting her lip as she considered that. “Well, I think so. I don’t know, Winston never really said, and we’ve been so busy we haven’t really talked about it.”He said sounding thoughtful, because of their unique position, they hadn’t considered a wedding date. “Greens would be good. Even if we do it later in the season, we could go forest green and the like.”She said smiling a little before giggling, “oh no. I don’t think he’d look good in many pastels. He’s to blond and Nordic for it.”She said giggling harder as she pictured her fiancée is something obnoxiously pastel. "Do you know what they were doing tonight?"She asked looking up at the other woman in curiousity, since the men had just said they were going out, not what they were doing.
 
Winston puffed at his cigar and looked over at Connor. "Thinking about how old I'm getting," he said, "I mean, I know I'm getting old when you are already submitting to the idea of having a kid." He frowned a bit and moved to down his drink, wanting to clear his mind a bit. Or, maybe he wanted to numb it. "And I definitely know I'm getting old when my little brother has stopped bed hopping with every pretty girl in town." He rolled his eyes and leaned back in his seat, smirking as one of the girls came over and offered her "services" to the three men. As tempting as it was, he just couldn't bring himself to do it, waving her away.

Annabel looked over at her and shrugged. "I think Rhys said they were going for drinks," she said, "You know, guy stuff. I try not to worry too much." Smiling a bit, she thought about it for a moment. "You too should just shoot for earlier, like this winter? If you marry before the end of January, you can go with jewel tones, and those would look really nice on Winston... If you do that, you have to get a jump on the planning though. Make sure you have places reserved... I'm sure Winston could pull strings though."
 
Connor snickered a little before frowning. “Hey, it wasn’t like I planned on having a kid. She just like sprung in on me. Definitely wasn’t ready for that.”The 29 year old sulked a little sipping his drink before laughing. “I can agree on that. We’re getting old now because of that.”Connor said snickering a little at rhys. “Can you even name one woman that you didn’t sleep with in the city?”Connor teased looking at the girl before smiling a little as she was sent away. Resisting the flair of jealousy at Winston refusing, because he knew why he’d done it. “Yea. Nyx. Though, there is still time before the wedding.”Rhys said waggling his eyebrows snickering, sipping his scotch. Despite his partying ways the man was easy to get drunk and already was showing signs of being well on his way to drunk.

“Hmm, he would look good in jewel tones. So would connor and rhys.”She said thoughtfully because she knew Winston would be including them in the wedding before laughing softly. “I’m sure Winston could pull strings and get where ever we want. Though we could see about going out of town for the wedding, something exotic or something.”She said sounding thoughtful, because so many of the guests would have to travel anyways, they could travel to have the wedding itself. Maybe. She really had no idea what Winston would want, and she was feeling nervous about planning without asking him.
 
Winston rolled his eyes at his brother. "Maybe you should slow down on the scotch," he said, "I don't want to drag you back to Annabel all wasted and shit." Laughing a bit, he took a sip of his own drink, feeling the buzz start to settle in... He looked over at Connor and saw something in his expression that made him feel uncomfortable. Was he upset with him for turning down those girls? He's have to talk to him later. What with Nyx resting, he was sure that she wouldn't mind if he went and saw Connor in the guest room later that night.

Annabel raised her eyebrow. "A beach wedding? That would be lovely. We could all get away from everything for a little while." She yawned and leaned against the head board. "The boys better hurry back. I'm tired, but he's going to worry me until he gets home." She frowned at that and popped another chocolate covered strawberry in her mouth.
 
Rhys sighed looking down at his drink before nodding. “Okay. Though maybe you should start drinking more old man, you’re about to tie the knot. That deserves getting drunk.”Rhys said snickering. Connor frowned a little when he realized Winston was watching him, sighing softly. Shrugging he shook his head, brushing off the jealousy just as easily as that. Because while he and Winston shared nyx, he knew everything would change when Winston got married. “We should get home, before moron gets drunk. You know he wont actually stop.”Connor said rolling his eyes a little, sipping his drink.

“Beach would be fun. Warmer to, especially if we do get married in winter. New York is brutal in winter.”Nyx said shivering a little, because she hated snow for the most part, and spent most of the winter months indoors. Smiling a little as she shifted to get comfortable glancing at the clock. “Hopefully they wont stay out to late.”She said softly, because the woman to was worried about Winston and connor, even if she wouldn’t admit to it. because she knew that Winston wouldn’t appreciate her worrying over him, even if she did.
 
Winston was sitting in his office a couple weeks later, feeling frustrated and pissed. He knew... He knew that the car accident was not an accident at all. No, someone was fucking with his territory. According to records, someone hijacked his last load that was heading toward Mexico, and he never got the profit from it. He had not though much about it, because he was so distracted with Nyx, and the loads usually take a week to get there and back since they have to drive not fly, but it happened. Someone was targeting him.

In a rage, he knocked all of the stuff of his desk with a roar and yelled at a maid to bring him a drink. With quick movements, he called Connor. Maybe he'd know who would be stupid enough to fuck with Winston Skarsgard...

Annabel was going for a morning job, getting back into an exercise routine while she had the time. She was running around the grounds, down through the nearby suburbs, and back up to the house. Her body glistened when she came back inside, grabbing a glass of orange juice as she headed up stairs. All she wore was a pair of tight black blacks and a blue sports bra, her hair tied up in a pony tail.

"Rhys?" she called, coming into the bedroom. She smiled when she saw him still asleep, moving to sit on the bed beside him and kiss him awake.
 
Connor sighed softly as he looked up from his paperwork, frowning as he realized who was calling, hitting the speakerphone as he went back to work.”If your calling to make sure I’m still coming, don’t worry so much. I’d not miss your birthday, though your fiancée might want me to, considering she’s being weird about ti.”he said sounding amused, not realizing the man was calling for a reason other then to vent about nyx and her worry about his birthday. Because the woman was trying to find the perfect gift, and had just realized how close winston’s birthday was, she’d been worried for weeks. After all, only the three of them knew that she’d never celebrated winston’s birthday before, the others thought they’d been dating for awhile. So the woman, who while healing, was slowly recovering as her body forced her to take it easier then normal, had been doing a lot of online shopping and just talking to people, settling into her role of being winston’s wife, even going as far as settling in to helping Winston with paperwork at times.

Rhys stirred, yawning a little as she called his name, yawning as he blinked up at her, kissing her back. “…you’re sweaty. Did we have sex and you forgot to wake me up?”He muttered teasing her a little as he sat up on his elbows, and despite being just as toned and fit as he had been the moment he’d quit playing football, he knew he should exercise to stay in shape, but the man couldn’t bring himself to drag himself out of bed early enough to go work out with her.
 
Winston growled. "This isn't about my birthday," he snapped, "Someone is fucking with me, Connor. Someone is fucking with my business. My last load to Mexico was hijacked last week. All of it's gone, and so are my men who were driving." It was clear he was beyond anger, about ready to murder someone. As much as he hated to think about it, he inherrited his father's temper. While he was no a sadist, the man was awful when truly angry, and could rarely be calmed down. "Who do you think did this?" he snapped.

Annabel giggled and shook her head, standing up and stripping out of her clothes. "No," she said, "But if you get up and join me in the shower, I bet we can do that 'sex' thing." She winked and started for the bathroom, her hips swaying as she went to turn the large shower on.
 
“What?”The startled word sounded before connor could stop it, the sound of him pushing his chair out so he could stand loud as he paced. Scowling as he considered Winston’s question. “Someone who knows how things are run. And enough power within your business to know that it might take you a little while at the moment to notice. I’d check the drivers, the people you left in charge of day to day running.And anyone who's been to the house since you brought her there,, someone who knew you cared cared for her more then you usually do for your lovers.”Connor said running his fingers through his hair, pissed because he couldn’t help Winston more.”do you want me to put out the word here, see if any of my people have a idea?”

Rhys yawned watching her go, before grinning.”Oh, I think I can do that.”He said laughing as he followed her naked into the room, slipping into the shower after her, he smiled nuzzling her neck. “good run?”He muttered pressing a kiss to her shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her waist, tugging her close.
 
Winton nodded as he paced and listened to Connor speak. "Yes," he said, "Put out the word. Please. I'll do a shake down among my employees. Until then, I'm not sending any loads out. Business on my end will be halted until I figure out what the fuck is going on." He growled and ran a hand through his hair, thinking of where he should start. "I'll give you a call later on today. Let me know if you hear anything." With that, he hung up and sighed. Fuck. This was not what he needed...

"Great run," Anna said, turning around to wrap her arms around his neck, "Sleep well?" She kissed his chest, then slowly started to get down on her knees in front of him, making him lean against the wall as she started to stroke his shaft while looked up at him. Bending forward, she placed her mouth around him and began to suck his member, taking advantage of his morning erection.
 
"I'll see what I can do."connor said rubbing a hand over his face as he thought,trying to figure out who had done this. Swallowing hard realizing there was something else that needed said, because he could see winston being reckless in his fury"and watch out for yourself. Rhys and annabel to, if theyrr willing to hurt nyx, thry might be willing to hurt you three."connor said as he hung up and knew nothing good would come of this.

"I did."rhys said moaning as she went to her knees. One hand fisted in her hair, thr other braced against the wall. "Though there are benefits to being awake."he said as he looked at her sighing quietly as he stroked the soft wet strands wrapped around his fingers.
 
Winston moved out of his office and down the hall, heading toward the bedroom. When he looked up at Nyx, he clenched his jaw in frustration. It was hard to remember to stay calm around her, because he didn't want her thinking he blamed her for his problems. She was more sensitive that he was used, and he was finally starting to get used to that. "Someone hijacked one of my loads," he said, "And that's not good. I'm out about ten grand, and I have no idea who the fuck did it." He sat on the foot of the bed and placed his head in his hands, taking deep breaths in an effort to calm down. This was not a good time to be out of cigarettes.

Annabel giggled and stood back up. "You are lucky I'm still crazy about that sexy body of your's," she murmured, kissing him gently before turning around and facing the wall. She separated her legs a little, and put her hands out in front of her to brace herself. "Are you going to get to work, or not? I've been thinking about this the entire time I was jogging, so you better make it live up to expectation." She gave him a wink, then stuck her ass out a little.
 
Nyx looked up startled a little at the sight of the man in the room, having not expected him back so she’d made herself comfortable in the bed, wedding magazines and such spread out on the bed around her legs. Looking concerned as she watched him, she frowned a little, the light webbing of scars across her temple standing out against porcelain skin, though the stark whiteness of them would fade with time. “Is there anything I can do to help?”She asked, not knowing how to help him, or tell him who it was, but willing to do whatever he needed her to do.

Rhys grinned, “Don’t worry, I thank every day for that.”he said smiling, raising a eyebrow as he watched her brace against the wayll. “Oh, I see. I’m just a reason to make jogging shorter and less boring.”He snickered a little as he looked her over, running a hand over her ass before moving up behind her, gripping her hips tightly in his hands as he thrust into her without warning.
 
Winston shook his head and dug the heel of his hands into his eyes, rubbing them in frustration. "No, no," he sighed, "There's not... Except, well, maybe a back rub." He turned to her, looking over his shoulder. "Please?" The look in his eyes said that he was both frustrated, scared, and tired. The bags under his eyes aged him a bit, and his coloring was a bit off. He really just needed some sleep and to consume something other that cigarettes, coffee, or scotch.

Annabel let out a scream of pleasure, reaching around to tug his head down to kiss him over her shoulder. "Oh, that's exactly it," she teased, licking her lips, "Just something to keep me from dying of boredom." She giggled a little and rolled her hips back into his, wanting him to give it to her nice and hard, like he always managed to do. She loved their routine, which usually consisted of her morning jog and sex before he had to leave for class... She just hoped it stayed like this forever, but even she was not that naive.
