Ned walked into Metro Court and walked across the lobby towards the elevators. He was whistling as he approached Lucy's penthouse. She had called him earlier and had invited him over for dinner. She said she was cooking but Ned found that hard to believe. He knocked on her door. He could hear her drop something and squeal and rush to the door. She opened the door and behind her he saw a smoldering roast. "Hi Lucy."

"Um Hi Ned. I was trying to cook a roast but well it didn't end so well." Lucy stood back, "Come in." She said. "Sorry I am a little frazzled."

"Lucy you have no reason to be frazzled. We have known each other forever. Why don't I order Chinese?" Ned said, loosening his tie and sitting down. He picked up his cell and ordered from a nearby restaurant.

"Ok. Do you want a drink?" Ned told Lucy what he wanted and she brought him his drink. " Thanks for ordering. How has your day been?"

Ned stretched his arm back over the couch, "Tiring. Grandfather has been after me about an ELQ deal that he wants completed and Tracy is after me about Brenda and James staying at the mansion. She wants them to leave and I keep saying no."

Lucy sat down and regarded him with narrowed eyes. "Why do you keep saying no? She's been back for a while and can certainly afford to live on her own. I used to pay her salary and I know her well. There is no way even Brenda could have gone through all the money I paid her."

"It's complicated Lucy." Ned sighed and scooted closer, "I appreciate you cooking dinner tonight." He said in an effort to change the subject. He looked deep in her eyes, "You have no idea what it feels like to have a beautiful, sexy, intelligent woman want to cook you dinner." He leaned in and kissed her. He put his hand in her hair and made love to her mouth, thouroughly kissing her over and over. His tongue carressed hers and he gently bit her lower lip. "Hmm, you taste good Lucy. Intoxicating."

The doorbell rang. The Chinese food was there. Lucy got up to get the food and Ned followed. After the delivery person left, Ned whispered, "Forget the food." He kissed her passionately and quickly pulled her panties down. Lucy's nimble fingers attacked the zipper of his pants and she moved to free him. He quickly entered her as they stood against the door. She moaned deeply and bit his neck as she came seconds before he did.

Lucy purred, "Well , I think we should go to the bedroom for a bit., don't you."

Ned picked up the food, "All right Lucy..."

Brenda looked up from the table into Sonny's eyes. "Yes, Ned is James' father." Brenda sighed. "Robin is the only other person that knows besides Ned. No one in his family knows."

Stunned to his core, Sonny stammered, "But how, when? I mean, are you and Ned?'

Brenda quickly shook her head, "No, no. We aren't involved. Never have been." Brenda took a gulp of her wine, "Look Sonny, can we go in the living room? I will tell you everything on the promise that you won't tell anyone! And I mean Jason as well."

Sonny held up his hand and stood up, grabbing his glass of wine in the process, "You have my word. I want you to know that you can trust me and I know that I have to earn your trust."

Brenda sat Indian style on the couch and started to speak. "Ned came over to visit me in Paris. He was lonely and so was I. He was having some problems with Lois and Brook Lynn and they had just left Port Charles again. He said that Lois was like a brand new person to him and he didn't even recognize her. Things at ELQ weren't going well and Tracy was driving him crazy. I had just broken up with a man named Phillipe a couple months earlier. I met Ned at the airport the first night he arrived and we went to dinner."

"Over many drinks and tears and commiserating, Ned ended up back at my apartment. We were two best friends who fell into bed together. it just happened. It was a few times and after a week he came back to Port Charles. A few weeks later, I realized I was late and called Ned. He immediately flew over and we discussed everything. Right from the start we both wanted this baby. Ned was adamant that his family not know that James is a Quartermaine. He cites himself, AJ, Jason, and Dillion and their rotten childhoods. He wants to be involved in James' life but he doesn't want everyone else to know. I agreed to that. I take no money from him. Ned was there when James was born and for a month straight afterward. We are not involved though since that one week."

Sonny sat back, stunned into silence. He just stared at Brenda for a few minutes and said quietly, "Thank you for telling me this and trusting me with this. You know I will not tell anyone." He took a drink, "You and Ned have no custody agreement?" When Brenda shook her head, he asked, "Why?"

"Ned is my best friend. He has always been there for me so we agreed that I would come back to live in the States and he would help raise him. If Ric finds out about this, I don't want him using it against me to hurt James."

"Brenda, do you really think that will happen? Honestly? You and Ned can work things out, I know you can. Ned isn't an ogre." Sonny paused, "But you should talk to a lawyer about the custody."

Brenda let her head fall forward and her hair fell over her face, "No I don't think it will come to that." She whipped her head back and her hair fell into place, "You know Sonny, it felt good confiding in you. I am at a place in my life where I know I can trust you. If this was ten years ago, things would be much different."

"I know." Sonny opened his arms and said, "Come here Brenda." Brenda slowly got up and walked over to stand in front of Sonny's chair. Sonny leaned back so that he was almost laying in the chair. He reached up behind Brenda and wedged her between his legs. She stood, locked between his legs as his eyes stared into hers. He slowly, sensually brought his hands to her sides and started to carress her. He reached under her shirt and teased her belly with his skilled fingers. Brenda's eyes closed as she gave into his touch. He released her breasts from the restraints of her bra and molded them in his hands, teasing her nipples so that they hardened in his hands. He released her breasts and his fingers trailed down her belly and to her panties. "Do you want me Brenda?" He lightly dragged his fingers over her pubis and whispered, "Tell me, do you want me?"

Brenda was shaking with desire and nodded. She positioned herself on top of him and kissed him deeply. Over and over she kissed him as desire for Sonny spread through her. She reached down and unbuttoned his shirt, kissing and nipping his chest. Unconsciously she had already started to ride him. "Don't rush this Brenda. I've been waiting forever to make love to you." Sonny breathed. Brenda moaned and greedily kissed him and felt his chest. She could feel his rock hard shaft digging into her thigh. "Sonny, I need you, I want you."

Sonny groaned and stood up, Brenda's legs wrapped around him. He brought her to the couch and he quickly stripped. She quickly disposed of her clothes and lay naked below him. She licked her fingers and reached for his shaft, feeling it harden even more in her hand. He leaned down and kissed her until she was breathless, then devoured her breasts with his mouth. She started to move under him with her need, "Come on Sonny, please." She demanded, "Make love to me."

Sonny didn't need to be asked again. He entered her swiftly and her hips rose up to meet him. They fell into the familiar rythm for the past. Brenda grasped his ass and arched her back, moaning as he thrust into her. Both broke into a sweat as they continued to make love. Sonny grabbed her and rolled her over so that she was on top. Never breaking her stride she continued to ride him hard. Sonny rolled her over on her back again and with three final thrusts, they came together with muffled screams.

Sonny reached over and gathered her in his arms. Still breathing heavy he said, "This is it Brenda. I want you in my life. I said it to you once before. You are like my drug, I can't get enough of you. I want us to try again."

Brenda snuggled against him, completely satisified, "I think we can work something out."

"Oh you think we can work something out do you?" Sonny said playfully, as he reached out to tickle her "I think we just did."

"Hmmmm, maybe I need a bit more convincing." Brenda smiled into his chest.

Sonny leaned down and kissed her soundly on the mouth, "I will give you paradise Brenda. Anything you want."

"Hmmm, that sounds good." Brenda stretched and kissed Sonny. "I have to go home though, it's getting late. Do you think we can see each other tomorrow?"

Sonny pulled Brenda closer, "Don't go just yet, I want to hold you some more. We will see each other tomorrow and the day after that and after that. I have some meetings but after that we can meet. I'll call you." He leaned over and kissed her as she snuggled closer. Soon they drifted off in a light sleep.

It was well after midnight when Brenda and Ned met at the door at the Quartermaines. Both were startled to see the other there. They looked at each other, opened their mouths and closed them quickly when Dillion approached. "Hey, what's going on?"

Ned answered, "Um, just coming home."

Brenda clammed up as well. "I was out as well. What about you Dillion? Isn't it kind of late for you?"

Ned turned to Dillion, "Yeah Dillion, it is rather late. Where were you?"

"Out with a friend." came Dillion's quick reply.

"Ahhhh, with a friend." said Brenda knowingly. "Well your secret is safe with us Dillion."
