Chapter Sixty-Three
His eyes fell on the sleeping beauty in his bed. Last night Lucas carried Jessica to bed eventually, he couldn’t let her sleep on the couch even if the latter was comfortable.

Although he’s been behaving his best, the tension was still there and having her near him was kind of comforting.
She was resting her head in his arm and the other was securely wrapped around her middle. He let his fingertips caress her soft skin. Jessica was beautiful, that he couldn’t deny
Lucas lost the notion of time until she opened her emerald eyes and he found himself smiling at that. Jessica rubbed her eyes before looking at him again he was staring at her with an expression she couldn’t decipher and it instantly made her cheeks blush when she noticed how close to him she was.
