Chapter Fifty-Three
Lucas stepped inside his father’s room; the old man was resting his back against a couple of pillows while talking to Michael his attorney. The man has been their advisor for so many years. Lucas made his way towards the bed greeting them
“Give us a minute” The old man addressed his attorney to give him some privacy while talking to his son. Michael excused himself out; leaving the two alone
Lucas held out the marriage license and rested it on the bed without a word. Raymond picked it up and adjusted his pair of glasses bringing the paper closer to his face so he could read it. When he did he nodded lightly
“You’re officially a married man”
“Such was your wish”
“I wish you did the right choice son, Miss Sanders was quite the catch actually” he said humored
“This should be the least of your concerns, father
Chapter Fifty-FourWhile both enjoyed their meal in silence their eyes met more than once and Jessica was unsure of what was going through Lucas’ mind as she could feel his gaze on her even when they severed the eye contact. Earlier when he said that she didn’t eat in two days she noticed concern in his eyes and couldn’t help the small smile that stretched her lips.So much had happened between them it felt awkward to some extent. and Jessica expected him to be the self sufficient man he was but he seemed different or so she wondered briefly before brushing off the thought.“Have you talked to your friend Lilly” Lucas said breaking the silence at long last.“Uh huh” Jessica nodded in surprise; he remembered her best friend’s name.“Did you tell her about us?”“She’s more than just my friend, she’s more like a sister
Chapter Fifty-FiveJessica looked away avoiding him, her cheeks blushing for some unknown reason it wasn’t like the first time she’d seen him but it remained somehow disturbing.“Would you like me to run you a bubble bath?” he suggested humored Jessica shook her head“A shower would be just fine” she said trying not to look his way, because he was still as smoking hot as ever and she still had those stirring tingled in her belly when she saw his chest“I don’t get it, would you like me to join you?” he deadpanned ; her eyes shot towards where he stood and to her surprise he was two step away from her now reddened face, a cocky grin on his lips.“N…No” she shook her head a little too fast as he stepped closer to her,“What is that you want then?” he asked his voice huskier, almost came as seductively as when he talke
Chapter Fifty-SixJessica opened her eyes when Lucas was just heading out the bathroom in nothing but a towel wrapped around his hips with droplets of water tracing their way slowly over his rippled muscles. Her gaze lingered on the stubble on his chest and slowly travelled down tracing his six packed abs she blinked a couple of times making sure she wasn’t dreaming her breath hitched in her throat as he approached the bed “You’re staring” he taunted his voice huskier than ever Jessica averted her eyes immediately a deep shade of blood painted on her cheeks.How was she expected not to stare at him while all he had been is walking around like a God? Obviously the sight is to a very tempting one since she was straight Jessica thought that even a lesbian could drool over him in a towel. Especially when Lucas was just leaving the shower“Sorry” she mumbled; her embarra
Chapter Fifty-Seven“Annabelle will be here shortly with a proper outfit, while Ada will take care of bringing your clothes from the white house” He said and Jessica nodded in agreement while taking a sip of her coffee.“Not that you don’t look delicious in my underwear, but you’ll have to wear something else eventually” he said bringing a bite in to his lips after stressing the word delicious just enough to make Jessica self conscious about herselfA blush crept up under her cheeks at the allusion; Jessica took another sip trying to keep her eyes on her mug instead of them wandering all over his body because she knew for a fact that he was just as delicious in his shirt“Uhmhum” she mumbled nodding“I have told you, I don’t speak mumblings” his came out in a warning tone, his gaze inten
Chapter Fifty-EightJessica’s entire body froze as Lucas’ warm breath caressed her earlobe she almost squirmed.“Now you better go get dressed or else I’m not sure how long I can resist tearing that shirt off of you” he said pulling away from her ear but remained in his spot which was obviously barely an inch away from her small figure as he towered her and it made her feel all the more vulnerable near him.He let her hands slip which was her cue for stepping away from the hold he had on her. Jessica nearly ran inside the bathroom. The apartment was huge yet it seemed secluded with no air whenever Lucas was standing near her, once inside she closed the door behind her and rested her back on it, catching on a breath after feeling her knees weaken like jelly and her heart skyrocketing to the milky way.She barely had two seconds to herself when she heard him kno
Chapter Fifty-NineShe watched as his face paled, and his body stiffened. His thumb froze and his sparkling eyes just turned dull. He let the phone fall off his ear.“What happened?” she inquired but Lucas tensed, he didn’t reply to her, his eyes darkened Jessica brought a hand to his face and only then he was able to say“My father…died” the words left his mouth after a long silence, dull, with no emotion to them. She could feel the void in his voice when Lucas told her the news.*********************Jessica looked at her reflection in the mirror, she was wearing a sleeveless black dress that covered her knees; it was plain although the fabric was light and expensive.Her hair was knotted in a small bun and she was only wearing the necklace Lucas gave her. W
Chapter Sixty“I’ll come back to the apartment tonight” Lucas whispered stroking Jessica’s cheek with his thumb Looking into his eyes Jessica could see how tired he seemed; she nodded in agreement then put her hand on his and a small smile stretched his lips.He brought her hand to his lips and traced her delicate knuckles with his lips before putting a small kiss to the back of her hand. Jessica could feel the tingles all over her body.Lucas pulled her closer to him and nuzzled her shoulder for a moment breathing deeply, Jessica’s fingertips reached his jaw unintentionally as she was engulfed in his presence and intoxicating scent And they remained in that position for a while before they were interrupted by a knock on the door.Lucas muffled a groan pulling back from her reluctantly. Jessica felt the loss when he pulled back from her.That moment was the most intimate if co
Chapter Sixty-OneComing back from a deep slumber, Jessica found herself trapped inside his arms. She could smell his cologne and smiled in delight at the–oh so familiar– scent. Before opening her eyes to meet the stubble on his jaw, Lucas had a hand wrapped around her middle.She blinked a couple times making sure she wasn’t dreaming, her left hand was resting on his chest while their legs intertwined. When did he came and why didn’t he wake her up she reflected but her thoughts were cut short as she felt his hand sliding up her back and pulling her closer to him. Engulfed in his warmth, a soft moan escaped her lips and soon was reciprocated by a chuckle.Jessica tilted her head slightly her green eyes met dark ones and her heart skipped a beat at the familiar lustful gaze Lucas gave her. A strange sensation grew in her belly“Coffee?” he suggested
