Brendan's Baby

I don't scare easily.

But she's haunting my dreams.

Haunting all my fantasies.

And I'll gladly let her.

Although I could have any woman I want,

I'm not a hit it and quit it kinda guy.

I want something more, something lasting and real.

I don't make a habit of sleeping with the tourists,

But when Elise walks into O'Shea's Pub, I forget my mantra.

Her fiery red hair, emerald green eyes, and curves for days,

All leave me breathless and a bit off kilter.

I'm an O'Shea. A businessman, an ex-Navy SEAL.

When I start a mission, I complete it; just like I was trained to do.

I will sweep the independent beauty off her feet,

I will convince her to stay with me forever.

And when her creep boss shows up on my island to try and stake his claim,

I will show him that no one messes with what is mine.

Elise is mine to claim.

And so is the precious gift she's carrying.
