Instead of entering the pool like Lucas wanted her to, Kate took off her shoes, and sat down on the side of the pool, dipping her feet in. Face with Lucas's toned abs, and minimal clothing, her breath caught, and her eyes trailed off to his body, stopping at his swimwear. Lucas curled his lips into a smirk, as he watched her with an amused glint in his emerald eyes. There was a moment of panic when Kate realized she was openly staring at his crotch…. and Lucas has probably noticed. ‘Shit! What am I thinking? You should focus on your plans, and not his damn crotch, Kate!’ Kate said in her mind, chiding herself. She quickly looked away in a futile attempt to save some dignity. When she looked at Lucas again, he smiled knowingly but when he didn't comment on it, Kate breathed a sigh of relief. “So, Kitty….” He drawled, "Why do you ask that we relax here when you don't even want to enter the pool? Afraid that much, of water, or me? I promised you that neither of us bite, come dive with
Lucas pulled away from Kate’s addicting lips, and looked into her hazel eyes. “I want you, Kitty. I could lose my mind if I don't have you right now.” He breathed into her ears, his emerald eyes were filled with unrestrained desire for her.Kate's heart raced, her whole body was thrilling at the thought of having the man inside her again. The excitement was rushing from the base of her hair to the tips of her toes, and she whispered shyly, “But we can't do it here. They will see us." "I will gouge out the eyes of anyone who dares to peer at my beauty.” Lucas let out a low growl, as he raised his hands toward her chest, and the next moment, he ripped the tiny clothing off her chest, revealing her firm, full breasts to his naked eyes.Kate gasped, as goosebumps of excitement ran up her arms. She felt his hand on her ass, and the other hand grabbing at her perfect breasts, his mouth over her hardened nipples. Lucas shifted her panties aside, forcing her legs apart as he held her tightly
Wilson walked into the hospital with his trusted aide, Aiden, following after him, while Wilson's face was marred with worry. He had been searching for his daughter for three days now, and didn't know who had the guts to kidnap Elizabeth from under his nose. He had gotten a call from someone who told him that his daughter had been brought to their hospital by a young man, and the young man had given them an order to reach out to Wilson when the span of three days had passed by.“Sir, do you think she's here or maybe someone is trying to play a dirty trick on us?" Aiden said, as he walked alongside Wilson, and looked around the surroundings with wariness in his eyes.“I don't know what's going on, Aiden, but we will find out soon." Wilson replied, as he walked to the reception area where a young female nurse with black glasses that framed her face, looked up at them.“How may I help you, sir?" She asked, looking between Wilson and Aiden. “I'm here for Elizabeth Wilson. Is there a pati
“Lucas." Kate gasped, as she scrambled from the bed, and went to the man’s side, her eyes flickering with worry. But that was just for a moment, as it dawned on her that the drug she had mixed in Lucas's wine had taken effect, and that was probably why he slumped on the bed like that. Kate's heart raced, as she glanced at the man's sleeping form. He looked completely harmless, and his face was as serene as that of an angel. She traced her fingers across his brows, his cheek, his jawline down to his thin lips, and Kate felt her heart beating wildly in her chest. She found herself hesitating about her plans with Matteo. She couldn't help but feel her heart aching a little at the thought of escaping from Lucas, and staying far away from him. But isn't that what she wanted? So why was she feeling this way?’ Kate mused, as she watched the man, deep in slumber. “What will you do when you find out that I'm gone? Will you miss me? Will you look for me?" Kate mumbled quietly, as she leaned fo
‘How do I get the pill now?’ Kate mused, as she held the wine tightly in her hand, and then she froze when she realized that she was still wrapped in a towel. ‘Oh my God! How did I forget that?’ Kate said in her mind, as she dropped the wine bottle back on the kitchen counter and paced around the room. She took deep breaths, as she pondered on her next step of actions. She walked back toward the kitchen door, and poked her head out to call out to Ace while hiding her body from his view. “Hey, Ace. I was wondering if I could get back to my room, and find something appropriate to wear. I— I don't feel comfortable like this with you.” Ace, who had been sitting leisurely on the dining table while he waited for Kate, turned his head toward her. And when he realized that she was putting on nothing except a towel that was wrapped around her, a blush crept up his cheek, and he quickly turned away from her. He coughed, and said to her, "Lucas will murder me if he finds out I was with you in
As they zoomed through the urban landscape, Kate could barely focus on the sights. She sat next to her uncle Bob, who was behind the wheel. ‘I hate being stuck here.’ She thought bitterly and exhaled loudly. “Don’t look so glum, Kate.” Bob said with a gentle chuckle from the driver's seat. “You are going to enjoy this dinner party, It should be a nice change of pace. You have been working a little too much lately." “I don't mind it at all, Office life isn't that bad." “But wouldn't you want a little excitement in your life?" “Excitement isn't always a good thing, Uncle. My job might be boring, but at least it's secure." A sigh leaves Bob lips—-- "Fine! But try to give tonight a chance, for me please. I’ll even introduce you to Lucas Romano, He’s going to announce his fiancee at tonight's dinner, you know, that man is the heir to the Romano group, which makes him one of the most powerful business men in the country.” Kate scoffed, ‘Ah yes, a businessman? You mean a mafia bo
Kate exhaled after their departure. ‘So that was Lucas Romano? I didn't realize he was so handsome—- Such a shame about his personality, though. On the other hand, Ace seemed pretty nice. He's a looker too. If he wasn't involved with the mafia, I wouldn't mind talking to him more, but that would also mean seeing Mr. Unfriendly again.’ After her internal dialogue, she shakes her head and starts searching through the crowd again for her uncle. “Now, where could he have gone?" She said and continued pushing through the crowd. “Excuse me….. sorry.” She suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at the man she just pushed past. "Matteo?” She called out, uncertainly. The man turns to face her, and her heart leaps. ‘It really is him!’ "Kate?” The man called out, stunned. "It's been so long! I haven't seen you since graduation.” He rubs the back of his neck, flashing a soft, sheepish smile. "Sorry about that. I kept saying I’d get in touch, but I didn't want t
‘His—-What?!’ Kate was dumbfounded and screamed in her mind but Lucas ignored the petrified Kate and continued with his speech. “Like my father said before he passed on, I’ll need a queen by my side to properly lead the family. The empire I’ll soon inherit brings many duties and responsibilities—-- so I’m pleased to face them with someone I can truly rely on by my side.” Lucas looks back at Kate, his gaze warmer than usual. “A capable woman who has proven herself to me and won my love. Many challenges await us, but I know we can face them together." Kate stands next to him in a daze as he goes on about their relationship with charm and like a man in love. Yet, his commanding presence continues to dominate the atmosphere. ‘What the hell is going on?’ And why is he acting like a completely different person?!’ Applause breaks out after his speech, and with a dazzling smile on his handsome face, Lucas takes her hand again and leads her away. He brought her into an empty room ju
