Bastard Kissing

Lucas took the breakfast for his wife to her room, he could not bear to ruin her mood after seeing Saikus still there in the dining hall. The man sure was having fun with the newly found change, their relationship had finally undergone a healthy change. He had worked hard enough to earn such small change in Nathalie's behaviour which could lead to possible changes in the future. No doubt that was the aim of his to set his foot into the Lacaster family because Lucas wanted to marry her, but upon hearing her views of love, marriage and relationships from the old man Lucas became deterined that he had to show her how he was different.

'I'm sure she has a change of opinion about me. This is great considering that now I can bluntly go around kissing her.' 

He giggled while picking up the tray and meaningfully glanced at the washroom. Lucas could not help but smile like a fool now that she has finally given him a signal that they both were something 'official' now, and their relationship had finally tookover a name.Although it came to be unbelieveable to Lucas even though the man had worked to get the certain or similar gesture of softness from her. 

Nathalie had gone for a bath and had to rush towards her corp. The lady had already been running late due to the ruckus Saikus had created. Although deep down she too could not deny the feelings she experienced during the intimate moments spent with him. The woamn had never felt any such sensations of flutters, sparks, butterflies or anything similar with anyone other than Lucas, and as much as it scared Nathalie the feelings excited her.

'I should head out soon before the same mistake happens again. Or else this time she will throw all the blame on me.' 

He thought to himself and walked out of the room with the tray. Lucas was in his own reverie when he did not see Saikus appearing out of the corner. 

The man deliberately flung his leg out to make sure Lucas tossed around. As expected he tripped and the tray fell from his hands. Lucas hurt his knees and palm when the glass cut his wrist. He looked up angrily at the man, when Saikus was ready to impose his authority over him. 

If he had known his identity the same man would have been treating him with sugary words, and had been begging him instead! Only if Saikus nad Boris had been aware of his idenity then both of the men had been trying everything to get into his good book. No doubt he was teh great Lucas Petrakis, but both of teh brothers were pretty much unlucky to fall into his 'worst list' because Lucas had never spared his enemies. Adn leaving the ones alone who had made his beloved wife shed tears and live in agony deserved to be fed to the sharks!

 "What? Why are you staring at me like that? Did the cat catch your tongue?" 

Saikus leaned in at him and held his jaw tightly. He wanted to mock him, precisely beat Lucas but as the old man had brought him with himself Saikus did not want to risk his wealth just to teach him a lesson. 

"Back there you were talking so big, uh? Now what happened?" 

He gritted and whispered to Lucas while they both stood there in the corridor alone. 

"You think you are so precious and favored by her? Do you think that playing this caretaker role with get a rewarding sum by that old man, huh?"

Saikus had been unleashing all his insecurities at him, in turn unknowingly he had been feeding Lucas his own weaknesses. He smiled in his heart although wanted to give off an unbothered expression to him, but Lucas had to pretend not to blow his cover onl to make him suspicious to dig deep into the matter.

The business lord was notoriously known to beat the shit out of the people. Lucas had never spared his enemies any wealth or even a roof to take shelter, just a 1000$ sum. 

Well no one really understood his style that why he used to leave that measly amount to his nemesis, but then again who cared for that because he never aimed to destroy the good guys. So, one could definitely trust his decisions. 

Lucas shoved his hand away making sure the man could see his personality shift and would never forget it at all. 

"No. Definitely no, because I'm not a leech like someone certain." 

He threw the earlier incident at him, and left the shattered glass on the floor. Lucas was not in a mood to initiate a fight when he had just elevated his relationship with his wife. He wanted to enjoy the moment thinking about the possible future things they both were going to do. But Saikus' presence ruined it all and Lucas was now in bad mood regarding everything, he could not contain his anger but had to control enough to ensure that nothing more goes wrong.

"And please sir, you should focus on healing but it seems that you are preparing the consequences for the other one too!" 

Ouch! Saikus could not help but grit his teeth while seeing Lucas exiting the corridor but how could he let go of his ego that why he yelled from behind. Whereas his reaction satiated Lucas' rage and had his little revenge on him for destroying his happy mood. 

 "I will see you! You bitch!" 

Lucas waved his hand in the air without turning back or even moving his body. The man was confident that even if Saikus would go to the lengths to destroy him, the sources Lucas had were enough to eradicate the whole Lancaster family in one day without leaving any clue! 

-.-.-.-.-. 

Meanwhile inside the shower Nathalie had been troubling with her own bubbling emotions. But she was elated to witness Lucas standing up for her and to make sure that he was able to protect her. The flashes of the scene played in her mind frequently since she could not keep herself away from the idea that Lucas intimately touched her, and held her hand although she could still feel flutters upon recalling how his breath brushed against her skin and neck.

 'It seems that he is not a dumb person at all, the way he took stand for me was impressive!' 

Nathalie felt her cheeks getting hot again so she tapped her cheeks and finished her bath. It was the moment when she recalled how Lucas sounded dominant and worried about her, the way he was gentle with her was contrasting with the way he handled Saikus. 

'Oh come on, Nat! Accept the fact that you have started to like him. Come on girl, he is not that bad. At least he cares for you.' 

The lady had finally fallen for his game the moment when Lucas was not playing, but acted reflexively. Nathalie was glad to have him by her side as she had wanted, finally she witnessed some response from him which she did not expect to be thi sloving. But it did not matter because it reminded her that Lucas was interested in her and she could affect him emotionally and physically. 

How ironic! 

The lady prepared herself to leave for the corp, when she was about to exit the villa Nathalie thought to bid goodbye to him. She walked towards the room with a smile thinking that she would kiss him on cheek to surprise him and as a gesture of her kind of thank you.

But of course that was only for him! 

But as soon as she reached the kitchen she heard a loud gasp of numerous voices which came from the kitchen insides. She rushed towards the door only to see a girl kissing Lucas! Nathalie could not believe her eyes, what did she just see, her own husband had been kissing some woman who was not her.  

How could he!? Numerous emotions filled her heart and plenty of conclusions crossed her mind.

Nathalie felt immense jealousy within her but something crushed in her chest too, maybe her heart who could not bear the pain of being betrayed. After the staff gestured to him that Lucas turned around only to see a beautifully dressed Nathalie Lancaster standing at the door of the kitchen, there was surprise on her face yet a horrified expression had also raced her face.

'No, no, she must have misunderstood me.' 

Lucas pushed the lady away and lunged towards the door to clear up his situation but it was too late. Nathalie ran away towards the exit but somehow a tear of pain crawled down her cheek. 

The woman who had never cried after her father Boris had beaten her, but now she had shed tears because of a man again.

'How could he do this to me? He is just like everybody else. Bastard!'
