Chapter 2

It never occurred to me that Lucas knew my name!

I felt like my blood was running backward, and my mind was in chaos.

"Don't wander. We are not done yet."

A moment ago, I had my back to him. And now, he pressed my shoulders and turned my body to let me face him.

After I turned around, Lucas was more unbridled than earlier.

"No. Don't do this." I was thoroughly flustered, completely losing the courage of grabbing some random guy and cheating on Derek.

My entire body was trembling.

"Why not? Weren't you the one who made the offer? I have to admit that I'm surprised, but still, I'm more than happy to help you," Lucas said flirtatiously. "It's the first time I have had sex on a plane after all."

Hearing his words, I realized that he must have been experienced when it came to sex.

While I was still speaking ill of him silently, he picked me up and placed me on the sink, not allowing me to have any chance to think.

The flight attendant outside knocked on the door several times, scaring me out of my wits, but he did not care.

I had no idea how long had passed, he finally let me go, and I paid the price for my willfulness.

What was even more outrageous was that when he opened the door, he said to the stunned flight attendant on the side, "This was the most satisfying trip I've ever had. I'll give your airline a good review when I go back."

I was so ashamed that I wished I could just vanish into thin air. Ignoring the incredulity of the flight attendant, I ducked my head and rushed out of the lavatory.

When I returned to my seat, I was surprised to find Lucas sitting next to me.

Gosh! How did I miss it when I got on the plane?

I didn't have the courage to see him after the unexpected affair. I returned to my seat.

Then I covered my eyes with a blindfold and began to pretend to sleep.

Suddenly, there was a warm breath in my ear, and I heard his low voice.

Lucas whispered in my ear, "So? Are you worn out from that intense workout earlier?"

I was disgusted by Lucas' frivolous, flirtatious language, but I dared not openly quarrel with him.

Besides, I was just an Omega, and there was no way I was a match for an Alpha.

I planned to continue pretending to be asleep.

However, something suddenly occurred to me. What if he told my boss? My boss knew I was married. That way, wouldn't everyone know about Lucas and me?

Immediately, I took off my blindfold and looked back at Lucas.

I said in a pleading tone, "Let's forget what happened today. Just think of it as a dream, and I'll forget it, too."

Lucas raised his eyebrows, showing a playful expression. He said, "I don't mind having this kind of dream a few more times. How am I supposed to forget it?"

I was so scared by his words that I almost shifted on the plane. Why did he say that? Did he want to pester me? Wasn't this over?

"Cynthia, I can't believe you want to forget what happened. I guess I didn't impress you. Next time, I'll make you remember me for good."

"Sorry, but I think you got me wrong. There won't be a next time." I quickly pushed him away.

It seemed that he didn't take my words seriously. He turned to look at me, smiled, and said, "That's not your call."

In an instant, I was in a panic, and now it was too late to regret it.

I thought what just happened was just my wayward moment on the plane to get back at Derek. The man I had affairs with and I were strangers anyway, so, what happened on the plane would stay on the plane forever.

Yet I was so restless that I didn't realize that the man was Lucas, who was nothing but difficult to deal with. What should I do?

I wanted to say something, but Lucas had already closed his eyes to rest and ignored me.

I gave up. I was getting a divorce from Derek anyway, and I didn't intend to go back to Los Angeles. Then why should I be worried about being found out by my boss? None of this mattered.

After a grueling flight of more than two hours, the plane soon began its descent.

After I got off the plane, I rushed out with my suitcase, not daring to look at Lucas at all.

Just as I was waiting in line for a taxi, a Ferrari stopped in front of me. After the window was down, I saw Lucas' half-smiling face.

"I might be OK with forgetting what just happened. Get in!"

I hesitated for a while. Finally, I gave in and opened the car door.

Sitting in the car, I stared out the window in a trance, reflecting on what had happened during the past few days. As much as I hated to admit it even till now, I could no longer lie to myself about the fact that Derek and I both cheated on our marriage when I looked at the man with a half-smiling face next to me.

The car drove through the streets for half an hour or so until it reached the parking lot of a hotel that looked magnificent.

I glanced at the hotel and had a bad feeling. Why did he take me here? Did he want to have sex with me again?

Considering the way Lucas treated me on the plane, I didn't rule out the possibility that he might do something to me on the hotel's windowsill.

Just as I was hesitating, Lucas had already pulled me into the elevator. There was no one else inside, and I felt awkward.

He glanced at me sideways, his eyes restlessly sweeping over my body.

I tightened my clothes and shrank to the corner of the elevator, distancing myself from him.

"You came up with me. What are you afraid of?"

He revealed a meaningful smile, and the corners of his mouth curved into a strange angle.

I thought, 'If you hadn't had something on me, how could I have been stupid enough to go into a hotel with you?'

The elevator arrived on the 16th floor, and I braced myself to enter the room.

Before I could drop my luggage, Lucas threw me on the bed eagerly.

I wasn't going to resist.

"What were you thinking today? You didn't even notice that it was me who was sitting next to you. I figured that I knew you after all, so after you went to the lavatory for so long, I went as well to express my concern. And then you gave me such a nice surprise," Lucas stared at me and said.

Seeing that I didn't answer, he continued, "Why aren't you talking? Are you mute? Why did you take the flight? Say something, Omega."
