LOGIN“Do you want me to kiss you again?” he asked, his eyelashes almost brushing against mine. Why did he have such beautiful eyelashes? He looked cute and seductive at the same time, and how was that even possible?I nodded. My head actually nodded! Damn it, head, how dare you nod without receiving a direct order from my brain?I didn't even have time to correct my betrayal. His lips had already captured mine, and the kiss was absolutely intoxicating.I was swept away by the movement of his lips. It was as if I were a lollipop he loved very much.I closed my eyes and enjoyed every touch and every delicious friction between us. Hmmm, kissing someone you loved was actually amazing.Wait.Love?Did I just say love?The magical kiss finally ended because of a ringing phone. I wanted to pretend I couldn't hear it, but the never-ending ringtone seemed to annoy Lucas.He finally pulled away from me and picked up my phone. Then he handed it to me with an incredibly wide smile.It was so wide that
Lindsay's PovMy body trembled as I could still feel Lucas lying so close to me. We had slept in the same bed after an incredible make-out session. Why did a simple kiss make me feel as if I had just made love to him?He was sleeping in his gray T-shirt, and a wicked part of me wished he wasn't wearing anything at all.Kyaaaa!!! I wanted to run my fingers over his chest and stomach, which looked like they were made entirely of muscles. I wanted to touch him, kiss him, and maybe I sounded like a pervert, but honestly, I didn't care.I wanted him. Yet I remembered Rose's advice about not giving myself away too easily. I was going to make sure there would be no sex before marriage with Lucas.Ha! I knew that wasn't exactly fair to him. I had slept with other men before, even on the first night I went out with some of them. But I wanted Lucas and me to be different.I wanted us to end up married. I wanted something beautiful, with lots of children and growing old together. Oh God, was I
Lindsay's PovI couldn’t sleep all night. A strange uneasiness kept me awake, and I thought I could hear footsteps outside my room. I was terrified that someone might be trying to hurt me.I had locked the door, so I should have been safe, right? But I could still hear the footsteps. Finally, I grabbed my phone and quickly typed a message to the number I had just saved under the name **Lucas—Bodyguard**.**I’m scared.**I didn’t care if he made fun of me anymore. It was better than spending the entire night awake, imagining myself dying horribly at the hands of a burglar… or Mario, who was practically a maniac.**Why?** he replied almost immediately. Apparently, he was still awake, even though it was already one in the morning.**I heard footsteps. I’m scared there’s a maniac trying to break into my room.****Open the door.**I stood up and cautiously walked toward the door. I pressed my ear against it and whispered, “Lucas… is that you?”I had become such a coward lately. Thanks to M
He didn’t actually lock me up. We slept in the same bed, but nothing happened between us. He simply told me to enjoy the vacation.“So this isn’t a photo shoot?” I asked after we went downstairs for breakfast. My parents were probably leaving around this time, just as they had told me earlier, and I had already said goodbye to them. One of Dave’s employees would be driving them back to our home in Texas.“Nope.” He smiled widely and kissed my fingers. “This is our engagement party.”I immediately pulled my hand away and lightly smacked his shoulder.“You! This is so unfair! Never do something like this again!”He raised both hands in surrender. “Okay, okay.”“And what about the photo shoot?”“There is no photo shoot.” He shrugged casually. “I terminated my contract with that underwear brand. I paid a ridiculous amount of money to do it, but I was thinking about your feelings.”I stared at him.“I was afraid you’d get jealous because another woman might enjoy looking at my body.”“I do
Dave and all his doing! Ck...We all returned to the room, myself included. My mother had told me that she and my siblings would be staying until tomorrow before returning to Texas. Apparently, we would be flying back on Dave’s private jet again.I was holding hands with the man who was now officially my fiancé. Michael Robinson. Oh, there were so many things I wanted to discuss with this man, including the fact that he had shamelessly arranged this entire event without even asking me.Later. We would talk about it later. I tried to be patient as the man beside me smiled all the way to our room.We parted ways with some of the others, and apparently, my parents were staying on the floor below us. Dave was still holding my hand when we reached our floor, and the moment the elevator doors opened, our room was right in front of us.Dave opened the door for me with an unexpectedly sweet gesture. Like a knight opening the door for his queen. I stepped inside, and the moment the door closed
Lindsay's Pov“I don’t want to sleep alone!” I whined, half-heartedly. Whatever. I was still scared.I turned to look at him, but he only stood there silently, staring at me as if he were lost in thought. His expression was unreadable. What was wrong with him?“If you think I’m trying to seduce you... relax, because I’m not,” I said quickly. “That time has been over for a very long time.” I was afraid he would misunderstand me.I was only scared, and still a little traumatized by what had happened earlier. Besides, this place was huge. The thought of sleeping alone after what had happened was enough to make my skin crawl.Lately, Lucas had often seemed lost in thought while staring at my face. Was something wrong with him? Or was he remembering someone because I reminded him of her?Ieww... don’t tell me his ex-girlfriend looked like me!“Can I ask you something?” Lucas asked softly.“Huh? Ask me something? Yeah... sure,” I replied, confused.“Back then... in the hallway of your house
