Jackie’s POVThe lack of sleep I have gotten for the past few days made me fear that I was going to pass out any moment I barely slept. It was already dawn and I could feel the new day but the urge to stay in bed was great. Ever since I gave birth to Drake, things changed. My body changed; my mood changed. My schedules changed. Everything about childbirth made me feel different. It was as if a new person took over the old me, a more mature-ish type of persona.I broke out of my thoughts and opened my eyes when I felt a warm weight around my waist. When it moved, my brain registered that it was an arm. I furrowed my brows for a few seconds in confusion before I remembered that Lucas was beside me. I smiled at the warmth of his arm and placed my hand over his that was resting on my stomach. His fingers flexed at my touch, making me smile. He moaned against the back of my neck, making me feel butterflies in my belly. I missed this. I missed us lying in bed and now, we were back together,
Lucas’ POVYesterday had been a stressful one and today, I had time to spend with my boys. Jackie was out to do some schoolwork, so I had to take care of them, not that I didn’t. Today Paul was with us so that meant I was taking him and his brother out with me. Drake was at an age where he was able to go out but as far as he was wrapped up nice. Which was why I got a two-seater fancy baby stroller with a plastic and net shield.Once the boys were dressed nicely, their bags filled with their food, water and snack, especially for an always hungry Paul, with some extra diapers, clothes and my work bag, I put them in the stroller and left the house. I wanted to spend some time in the park before Jackie returned home from school.I got to the park ten minutes later and found a bench under a big tree. I dropped the bag I was holding and sat down on the bench then pulled the stroller closer. I made sure the boys were facing me before unzipping my work bag. I took out my tablet and a notebook
Jackie’s POVEver since I saw the email stating that the scholarship I had applied for was a success, I have not been in the right state of mind. All I could think about was what Lucas would say or how he would react to the news.Looking at him now, it was hard to tell what he was thinking because of how blank his expression was as he read through the paper again and again. I knew this was going to be difficult. I had applied for the scholarship after Andrea sent me a link to the school since her family knew the dean. When I applied for it, I never thought he and I would get back with each other. I was scared now that we were back together. The scholarship would keep me out of the continent for years and it made me worried with fear.“Lucas?” I said his name softly.I watched the edges of his mouth twitch before it expanded into a smile. I was confused for a second before he looked up at me with an even bigger smile on his face. He opened his arms like before and I got even more confu
Lucas’ POVI returned to Rochester the following day the moment Ruth came to Atherton, saying she wanted to see her nephew. She was still pensive about Cindy’s son, Paul. She hated Cindy right from the beginning, even before Paul was conceived and her hatred now made more sense to her than before. So, when she texted me that she was in Atherton to see her nephew and not nephews, I knew what she meant. I already made her understand that hating a child that had nothing to do with how nasty his real mother was made no sense and she just told me she didn’t hate the boy.I just didn’t want any more bad blood between our families as our generation needed to move on and make amends from the damages created by our older family members. Which was why I was still stunned and somewhat relieved when the person who bought the night racing group was Matt Jefferson. I never knew the fucker had it in him to be good for fucking once.A knock on my office door made me blink out of my thoughts. I cleare
Jackie's POVI smiled as soon as I opened my eyes. Last night had been amazing as memories of it came flooding my head. I rolled onto my side and smiled wider when I saw the man of my dreams laying asleep with his bare and muscular chest open. I bit my lip and placed my hand on his smooth chest, loving the feel of his rigid muscles under my hands. He moaned when I moved my hand down to his abs, running my fingers around them. I was tempted to push my hand into the blanket covering his hips and legs. I shifted my hand up to his face and ran my fingers around his sharp jawline, following the line of his perfect jawline. I touched his pointed nose before touching his soft lips. My core tingled at the memories of how he had given me ultimate pleasure with his mouth and I still blushed when I remember how I had squirted the first time he did it. I felt his lips part and I tensed, hoping he wasn't awake. When he didn't open his eyes, I grinned and scooted closer to his body.I eyed his be
|||We went touring around, finding delight in the beauty of the city. We had left our hotel at midday and had our tour guide walk us around the place, taking in the magnificent buildings centuries old. The chatter in public was enough to make me feel welcome and relaxed, almost as if I was used to the place.I lifted my camera and took a picture of a statue in front of a tall building crowded with people while the tour guide spoke to Lucas behind me. As I dropped the camera, I felt one of the phones vibrating in my purse. I had Lucas' phone with me and we left our phones on vibrate. So, not knowing whose phone was ringing, I unzipped my purse and checked them.Lucas had told me to ignore whenever his phone rang as he wanted to have time for me. All I did was tilt my head to see who it was and I raised an eyebrow when I saw a call from someone named Cindy. I furrowed my eyebrows, trying to remember if I know the person but I came up with nothing. The only people I knew were Axel, Bar
Matured Scene: Steamy.|||I put the butt of my pencil into my mouth and stared at the drawn plan of an engine on the plane white paper spread out on the wide table. I tilted my head to the side, feeling as if there was an error on the diagram. I took out the pencil from my mouth and drummed it against my temple.Through the stress I went through all because of a jealous witch, I had not been able to get an assignment I was supposed to have done which was part of my exam, done. Now, school had resumed for the quarter of this year and I was struggling.As I lowered my pencil to correct a labelling, I felt something warm on my shoulder and I screamed, jumping away from the table while turning around. I hissed in annoyance when Lucas burst out laughing. I glared at him as he laughed more."You scared me," I said and he mellowed down."Aw. Sorry, babe," Lucas said and came closer to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead."I was so concentrated on my homework, you
|||The cool breeze blowing around the beach soothed my skin from the rays of the sun outside of the umbrella I was laying under. I kept my eyes on the people moving back and forth in the water upfront. I smiled when I felt Lucas wrap his arm around my bare waist. He placed his hand on my bump and leaned down to kiss it before sitting up. He kissed my shoulder and I smiled wider."Your skin is hot. Do you want something cold to drink or eat?" He asked against my shoulder and I turned my head to stare at him."Yes, please. Maybe ice cream," I replied and he pecked my lips before standing on his feet. He tugged his shorts down a little and walked away.As soon as he left my vicinity, his phone rang behind me. I turned around and grabbed it then turned it over. I furrowed my eyebrows at the caller— Cindy. It was confusing why she kept calling this way. "Why does she keep calling constantly? Does this have anything to do with his work?" I asked and dropped the phone. I didn't want to an
