Angelina’s POVI went to sleep with a smile on my face for the first time in four days.I could still feel Lucas’s lips on mine, like he left some sort of permanent imprint there.I never thought that one kiss could turn my body upside down and make all those weird feelings take root inside my heart, but it totally did. Maybe I was too traumatized by the events that have been hitting me in succession that I’ve gone crazy, because that cannot be normal, right?One kiss cannot possibly do all that. Well it was two kisses if we’re counting the first one, which I totally am. Because all it took was that swift, tender touch to open up a floodgate of emotions I never felt before.For the first time in four days, I slept through the night and woke up without being haunted by any of my latest nightmares.I couldn’t help but connect it to that damn kiss.I had no idea what time it was but I could see the morning dim light seeping through the window. The sun seemed to always be covered in cloud

Lucas’s POVI was being a teasing asshole this morning to Angel.Her red, embarrassed face was enough to tell me that my teasing was working better than I expected.She didn’t even want to look me in the eyes as soon as she saw me enter the dining room. That’s why I tried to get under her skin. I didn’t want her to act like nothing happened, because it did happen, and I was so happy that it did, I had no regrets.But did she?Or was she acting this way because she thought it meant nothing to me and she was trying not to read too much into the kiss?After two days with her, I’d say I have a firm understanding of the way she thinks, but not enough to determine the answer to that question.Guess I’ll have to talk to her about it at some point.Let her know that it wasn’t just a game to me. I wasn’t just having fun with her while she’s here. I meant that kiss, I fucking kissed her like my life depended on it.“Lucas, I’d like for you and David to accompany April and Angelina to the town g

Angelina’s POVHe’s being his asshole self again today. Pissing the hell out of me since this morning.And the annoying thing is, I keep falling for his trap every damn time.He’s got me exactly where he wanted me from the beginning. Standing against him, breathing fire, and ready to tear him a new one. And the most annoying thing above all else, the twisted bastard was enjoying the whole thing. Right down to getting his ass kicked. Which is even beyond my capacity to begin understanding how his complicated mind works.“April, do you mind practicing with David while I deal with your annoying brother?” I asked her firmly.She gave me a side smile and said excitedly “Not at all, go ahead”“It won’t take long” I told her as I looked straight at him confidently.He raised one eyebrow and said sarcastically “Wanna bet on it?”“I don’t place bets, Lucas. Not when I’m sure I’ll win anyway” I said cockily as I stood a few feet facing him and taking my stance.“Keep talking like that, Angel. Y

Lucas’s POVI saw the look of pure shock cross her features as she gazed into my eyes. Trying to understand what I meant by my last sentence; even though it couldn’t get more clear than that.Just like I was expecting. She’s trying to avoid me because she thinks I was just playing around with her, entertaining myself while she was here.It hurt me more than it should have. She truly doesn’t have the slightest clue that I started having feelings for her.I mean it was pretty crazy to begin with, falling in love with her so fucking fast. But it fucking happened. Beyond any rationalization, it happened. She rooted herself inside my heart from the get go, and there was no removing her from that spot. Not unless it stops beating altogether.“You’re crazy. There could never be anything like that. Stop playing games, Lucas. Especially this one” she whispered fiercely before leaving me standing there, baffled by her words.Did she really not feel that pull I felt when our lips touched? Did sh

Angelina’s POVI swear I’m not the killer type, but he’s slowly turning me into one.And it’s not just because of the nickname, it’s fucking everything!His stupid sexy smug smile, his playfulness, his provocative words, his sarcastic tone, his recklessness, his over confidence in himself, his crazy, psycho side, and the list can go on forever.And because he was so fucking irritating, I found myself pointing the fully loaded gun to the middle of his chest just to see if he is going to waver and take back those words he just said to me very confidently.His smile deepened when I did that and he closed his eyes, his arms still stretched out, inviting and surrendering his life to me.I should learn by now, I can never try to match his craziness and come out winning here.“You seriously have no problem if I shot you?” I asked tightly, still aiming the gun at him.He answered softly with his eyes closed “You won’t shoot me”I don’t know what got into me at that moment but I just wanted to

Lucas’s POVIn all my sexual encounters; and I’ve had many, kissing someone has never felt so damn good before as it did right now.I was drowning in those lips, lifted into a whole other universe, floated on cloud nine, and never wanted to stop kissing her.Her lips evoked feelings, desires, and burning sensations within me that I never felt before her.Kissing her was easily becoming my new addiction.I’ve been dying for another taste since last night, and I couldn’t waste another second without getting my next fix, without getting my fresh breath of air again from within those sweet tasting lips.This time, I let my tongue explore hers and devour her mouth sensually, and fuck me, it felt so good to taste her like that.I kept kissing her until we were both extremely out of breath and damn near suffocating.And I didn’t miss the fact that she was kissing me back as well.There was no denying her feelings for me anymore. Even without answering my earlier question, I already got my an

Angelina’s POVDammit my decision was the furthest thing from being final.I was fighting one hell of a battle with myself trying to stay away from him and deny all those confusing feelings he was erupting within me just by being near me.Gosh! I was almost positive that if I agree to stay here with his family and give us a chance, it would be the best damn thing that could ever happen to me. I would be happy, safe, and possibly end up falling in love with him.But a huge part of me was reluctant to give in to those feelings and hopes. I still carry that guilt within me and it wasn’t going away no matter how many times they tell me and show me that they don’t hold me accountable for everything.And no matter what Lucas says about their lives being constantly in danger and that me staying here wasn’t going to bring anything new to their lives, I’m still drowning with terror at the thought of any harm befalling any of them because of me. It would kill me if something happened to any of

Lucas’s POVI was half expecting Angel to join me during my usual midnight smoking time, I’m not going to lie, I was waiting for her to show up, I even smoked more cigarettes than I’m used to as I waited for her, but she didn’t show up.She was still being stubborn, acting unaffected when I was a hundred percent sure that she is.She didn’t want to spend more time with me alone in fear of me breaking through her walls and changing her mind.I stumped my last cigarette for the night begrudgingly as I gathered that she won’t come down to meet me and went back inside.I was headed into my room when I heard her heart breaking whimpers.Without wasting anytime, I came inside her room and closed the door behind me as I approached her bed. Like I expected, she was having another nightmare. Her tears were streaming down her closed eyelids, her hands were clutching the sheet very tightly, her body was writhing in pain and shaking in fear as her whimpering got louder.“Mom!” she said in a weak
