The Devils Of Thornbrook

Chapter Twenty One

Scarlett Louviere

Walking down to the dock where the boys and everyone had gone to prepare the boat.

Walking down the well designed steps to the dock I found them all loading things onto the black and white catamaran.

Everyone had also changed into swim suits though we all had some sort of shirt or something over top until we got to swimming, except for Zavier.

"Scarlett you look hot as fuck" Zavier says.

"Jump off the boat or Nathan will throw you" Lucian recommends turning to look at his friend while my response was to flip Zavier off.

"I'm being bullied" Zavier declares, before he was lifted and shotput thrown off the side of the hundred foot long boat by Nathan.

"Why'd you throw me" Zavier yells up at him as I got onto the yew wood deck and crossed over to where Nathan stood leaning on the side of the boat.

"Because you deserved it" I say before Nathan could say anything.

"I was just thrown off a boat and I'm still being picked on".

"The shore is fifty feet to your right" Nathan says before walking off to continue loading the boat.

Twenty minutes later everything was on and Nathan was driving the boat back away from the dock and began heading out onto the lake.

"I never thought that your dad would have the time to be way out here" Theo says.

"It's not as rare as you think, being the billionaire CEO of Winters Group gave him a lot of spare time" Nathan says letting go of the wheel to remove his shirt and fold it before putting it in one of the side cabinets on the wheel deck.

"Explains how he has so much, needed the time alone and things to do" I comment.

"What I've told you doesn't even begin to cover it" Nathan muses dryly.

"I don't want to know" I reply knowing that there were many secrets kept by the Winters Family and I didn't even wish to know all of them.

Ten minutes later Nathan slowed the boat to a stop and we all walked down to the main deck before the boys all pulled open deck coolers to retrieve bottles or cans.

"And this is where I sit for the rest of the day" Lucian says lying down on one of the couches built into the deck with a trampoline spread between the three couches.

"You better share" Amelia says sitting at the opposite end and they stared at each other over Lucian's lap.

"I will" he says and a happy smile spread over Amelia's face before the rest of us all took spots through I chose to take up an entire two cushions while Nathan lay in the opposite side with one leg bent and a bottle that I recognized as the ginger beers he enjoyed so much while music played softly around us.

"What about you are you willing to share the couch Nathanial?" I muse and he looked at me with a smirk before shaking his head.

"Only you would ask a question with an obvious answer" he remarks and I once again roll my eyes as his dry remark to my half hearted jab at Lucian and Amelia who had moved to cuddling on the couch.

"What is all on this boat because thought it doesn't look big I'd guess that it is.

"Walk around you'll find everything" Nathan says absentmindedly before I stand and walk off to go explore the boat.

I knew on the top floor was where the boat was driven, then beneath it, was what looked like an open lounge area with the kitchen on a raised area with two bedrooms one a guest suite and the other being the master.
