The next morning I awoke to an empty bed. I hated it when he got up before me. Unfortunately, that was more days than I’d care to admit. Lucas was some weird morning person while I was like a zombie first thing in the morning. I could hear him downstairs talking and assumed he was on the phone but couldn’t be for sure. Deciding to go to the bathroom and freshen up I grabbed some clothes out of my bag and headed to take a quick bath.
Once bathed I dressed in a pair of black skinny leg jeans and a black and white striped long sleeved shirt. Brushing my hair I decided to forgo makeup at least for now and headed to the rail looking down. Sure enough, I could see Lucas sitting at that kitchen bar drinking coffee and arguing with someone on the phone. Frowning I twisted my hair into a bun and decided to go downstairs for coffee.
As I hit the bottom step I paused. Lucas’s back was to me and I couldn’t see his face but I knew he was pissed. Slowly walki
After Lucas left I didn’t really know what to do so I gathered the trays from our breakfast and sat them outside to be picked up. When I was done I sent Lucas a text simply saying “I’m sorry,” but he didn’t reply. It aggravated me because I felt like I was always the one making sacrifices in what I wanted and he couldn’t even acknowledge that I was trying to make peace between us.When David came around two to drop my laptop off I blocked his way out. “So he is still mad?”David looked down at me sighing, “Taylor, Lucas has a lot going on right now. He’s being drug in and out of the police station, he’s at war with your brother’s gang, not to mention the normal crap with the club. I know you don’t like to hear it but Lucas has a whole crew of men running the streets under him, he’s used to chaos. I think he just wants to come home to peace.”I looked down, “we got int
As I sat across from Lucas’s desk I watched as he worked on some files. I wondered not for the first time exactly how dangerous of a person he really was. He must have felt my gaze because he sighed looking up, “so have you made a decision or not?”I frowned, “a decision?”He shook his head, “I told you before I left you needed to make a decision about what you want. I would assume or rather I would hope since you left the apartment, without telling anyone might I add, and came here that you decided to stay.”I sighed, “you know I’m not going anywhere, Lucas.”He arched his brow, “I know no such thing, Taylor. I know that I just risked an assault charge over you even though I still have no idea if you are in this for the long run or not.”Leaning back in my chair I took a deep breath, “you are a lot to take in Lucas. You can’t tell me that if things were the other w
As I walked through the garage door at Lucas’s house I was amazed at how well the cleaners did while we were gone. Walking in I turned around, it was like nothing had ever happend. There wasn’t anything out of place. Well, there wasn’t anything out of place until I walked upstairs and noticed things from my apartment mixed in with his. I pulled my phone out of my pocket about to call Lucas but set it back down. I had told him I would move in with him I just didn’t think he would do it on his own, I should have known better.On the bed lay three boxes of varying sizes. I opened the biggest first to see a long black dress with a plunging v neck. I never knew what to expect from Lucas but I had to admit he was getting better at picking things that I actually liked. The next box contained a pair of black strappy heels that were to die for. I felt like I probably could open up my own shoe store now just from what he had given me. The last box contained a pa
I had remained downstairs far longer than I had wanted to. Even still it was barely 45 minutes before I ended up walking to his office. I had hoped Tre would come for me sooner rather than later but that didn’t appear to be the case. Why did I have to be here, we had already been seen together and no one would see me upstairs in his office.Sighing I collapsed down in his chair spinning in it. There wasn’t much for me to do, I couldn’t get on his laptop or his desktop because I didn’t know the passwords since he had changed them. His desk drawers were locked so no snooping for me. Spinning around again I stopped looking at the bookshelf to the right of his desk. Frowning I moved closer picking up a picture I had never noticed before. It was an old picture of a woman and a young boy standing beside her. Although I couldn’t be certain I assumed it was Lucas and his mother. I had no clue what happened to his family, he was so secretive I didn’
I woke up to the sound of beeping. I felt like I had been hit by a car and well I guess I technically had. As I tried to sit up my head started spinning and I realized I was hooked up to an IV. Turning my head I looked for Lucas but the room was dark and empty.Trying to sit up again I groaned, my muscles were stiff and each move I made hurt. The door opened and a nurse walked in. “Ms. Taylor I’m glad to see you awake. I’m your nurse, my name is Heidi. How are you feeling?”I laid back looking at the ceiling, “horrible,” I mumbled, “where is Lucas?”Heidi smiled at me, “you were in a pretty bad wreck but you came out without too much damage. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your pain? With one being not very much and ten being extreme.”“7,” I said watching as she jotted it down before taking my vitals. “Is Lucas ok? Where is he?” Gasping I lifted my hand to my mouth
Lucas POVFrowning I could hear talking but couldn’t make out what was being said. I wanted to yell at them to shut the fuck up, my head was pounding but I couldn’t seem to get the words out. The more I tried to focus the more I felt like I was clawing my way out of a fog.My body wanted nothing to do with helping me out. I tried to remember where I was, was I at home? You know the feeling you get sometimes when you first wake up and you don’t recognize your room as your own. Only I couldn’t wake up. What the hell had I been doing? Did someone drug me? Was Taylor...Taylor, it all came crashing down on me faster than I had been prepared for. It was like rapid flashbacks hitting me, none of them making much sense at first. Taylor and I had a fight, her in that dress, us in the elevator, fucking her in my office, leaving, killing Chase, his blood splattering on me, Taylor and me leaving the club then...the car. I remembered the sound of sha
I had yet to quit smiling, the past few months had been better than I could have ever imagined my life would be. Lucas had taken the news of becoming a dad better than I could have ever hoped for. Today we had found out at my monthly appointment that we were having a girl. I had assumed that Lucas would have wanted a boy but the moment they told us the baby was a girl his face had a huge grin plastered on it.Looking in the bathroom mirror I placed my hand on my ever growing belly amazed at how big I had already grown. Of course, the nightgown I wore didn’t help much to hide the bump, the way it was cut only brought it out more. Lucas loved it. I sighed walking back to the bedroom wishing he was home.The club had been taking up a lot more of his time than usual this week and it made me wonder just exactly what he was doing. I didn’t ask him anymore about his other life, I trusted that he would keep that side of his life away from me and the baby. The only thing I wanted
My hands were shaking, I could hear Lucas whispering to me but I couldn’t comprehend his words. I just wanted to sink further into his arms. Cody had looked at me shocked, the betrayal written all over his face. A voice in the back of my mind told me I shouldn’t be upset about what I had done, after all, he was there for me. He would have killed Lucas or at least tried. That voice while it spoke reason couldn’t get the rest of my mind to listen to it fully.The car came to a stop and when the door opened I recognized David. He looked down at me worried taking me from Lucas long enough for him to get out of the car. I had no idea where we were but I assumed it was one of their safe houses. “She hasn’t said a word the entire ride,” Lucas said to David.David looked down at me, I wasn’t looking at him but rather felt his gaze on me. “She just needs to rest. She’ll be ok, the baby will be ok Lucas. Just give her time. I
