Lucas’s POVI nod at the guys standing guards on the town’s official border out of Snow and they let me pass through right away.I pick up my phone and dial one of the few luxurious hotels in Fairbanks that I used to stay in whenever I went there for some fun time or business.“Hello, Lucas Snow speaking, I would like to reserve a suite on the last floor please. One bedroom” I said firmly.Angelina’s head whipped in my direction and I could sense the heavy weight of her glare on me.“I’m arriving in two hours, so if you could get the suite ready upon my arrival that would be great….thanks” I said with a slight smile I couldn’t resist from tugging on my lips as I hung up the phone.“If you think I’m staying with you in the same bedroom, you’re fucking delusional” she snapped at me.“I can’t let you slip past me and run off on your own now, can I? We’re staying together in the same room so I can keep my eyes on you, you can have the couch because I’m definitely calling dibs on the comfy
Angelina’s POVI was gawking at the sexy, heart throbbing beauty that is Lucas Snow as he sang heartily to one of the songs.Dammit! Even his voice is amazing.I’m not sure he was aware of me staring at him with my mouth a little too open for my own good. And thank god he didn’t, because that would be embarrassing, him catching me checking him out like this with that dazzled look on my face.He would have never let me live it down.He was completely taken by the song he was into, trapped in his own world.I find myself liking that version of him. He looked so young and without a care in the world. He wasn’t a psychopath, a killer, a crazy, annoying, smug….who am I kidding? I fell for him in all his freaking conditions!He exasperated me to no end, but he also awoken feelings in me I never thought I’d be able to feel, let alone feel so damn fast after all that trauma I’ve been through.The song ended and I was quick to wipe off any trace of my obsessive admiration of him and look ahead
Lucas’s POVI could see how much it bothered her, my past. I was looking into her gemlike, deep blue eyes and seeing everything clear as a crystal. Her uncertainty, self doubt, jealousy, and shyness.“There is no why Angel. The heart wants what the heart wants. The second I laid my eyes on you for the first time, my heart told me you’re the one I can never spend a second without from that moment onward” I said tenderly.It was true, my heart felt it before I had time to register it back then. I fought against it, refused it, thought I was going crazy, and tried my best not to let anything about her mess with my head. But eventually, I accepted what my heart was trying to tell me all along.Oh how much I wanted to kiss those parted, sexy lips. How much I wanted to devour her wholly right here in this elevator.But I couldn’t make a damn move. Not without her consent. Without her admission that this thing between us, is the real deal.“Tell me, Angel. What did your heart tell you when y
Angelina’s POVWith nothing better to do and no option to leave the room to watch tv or something, I settled in on the long leather couch.I wasn’t going to ditch him and disappear. He looked pretty deeply asleep and I probably could move that chair, unlock the door, and leave without waking him up despite his claim that his hearing is super sensitive, but I wasn’t going to try it.I had nowhere to go. No money to buy myself a ticket out of here, if I don’t count the credit card Diana gave to me before I left the house. But I can’t exactly use that because Lucas would be able to track me down quite easily through it. And hiding in Fairbanks was not an ideal option either. He probably knew the city like the back of his hand.A part of me wanted to try escaping from him and feel the thrill of him trying to catch up to me. Maybe I could try that. Pretty sure it wouldn’t last long though.I laid down and tried to plan through my escape from him, where I would go, how far I’ll make him cha
Lucas’s POVHer body was still trembling in my tight embrace from fright about that damn nightmare I just woke her up from.I had opened my eyes with my heart up my throat from the shrill screaming that woke me up in the first place. My first thought, someone was attacking her, someone found us and was trying to kidnap her again. But when I sprung out of bed in a blinding speed that momentarily made my head spin, I realized that she was screaming in her sleep.The thought of losing me and my mom was so terrifying to her, she just asked me to let her go and go back to Snow. Well, not going to happen without her right by my side.“If I’m going back, you’re coming with me, it’s not even up for discussion. I told you before, I’m not letting you go on your own. Keep denying me my second chance, keep fighting your own heart, I won’t push you further you have my word. As painful as it will be, I’m willing to give up on my desire to be with you like I want to and keep our relationship friendl
Lucas’s POVI was on to her the second she left the room.It was like I was somehow connected to her and my body immediately felt her absence from the room and alerted me to her sneaky escape.I was slightly left disappointed to find her heading for the door and attempting to leave on her own. I thought I got to her before I drifted back to sleep, or she made me feel like I did.I approached her slowly where she was still facing the front door, my temper a little flaring at the thought of losing her if I didn’t catch her in time and stopped her.I trapped her in place by caging her with both arms against the door on either sides of her and leaned in next to her ear, her hair tickling my side cheek.“Where do you think you’re going Angel?” I whispered coldly.She turned around and faced me, her expression as stubborn as ever, no hint of pain or guilt at leaving me behind whatsoever.“You left me no choice” she said flatly.I leaned in close to her face and spoke darkly “What are you ta
Angel’s POVI was struck speechless by this amazing, caring, loving version of Lucas Snow.I was still digesting his heartfelt love confession. His promises. His vows.I never imagined I could find myself falling in love with someone like him. Crazy, annoying, smug, ass, who is also so sexy, passionate, protective, kind, gentle, and so damn heart melting.But I was. I just fell in love with him to the point of no return after what he just said to me.I felt like my heart just melted into a puddle of marshmallows and chocolate, swooning from the effect of his words to me, from the depth of passion in that raspy, hot tone of his.I was a goner the second he said that last word.He destroyed and obliterated whatever walls I had built around my heart, like a wrecking ball, he diminished all of my defenses.He was looking at me intensely, waiting for me to do what he pleaded of me or push him away some more. His eyes while determined, sincere, held a hint of worry at hearing my answer.I g
Angel’s POVI swallowed multiple times looking between Lucas and his penis, which were also staring back at me; both of them if that makes any sense.I sat up at the foot of the bed as Lucas came closer, standing in front of me.I gathered my wits and decided to go for it. No reason to chicken out now. It’s not like it’s going to bite me.I put one hand on the side of his thigh and felt his muscles there contract in reaction while my other hand grabbed it and squeezed it tightly.He grunted and closed his eyes as he said lustfully “See how much it craves you baby?”And see, I most certainly did as I felt it throb and expand even more much to my shocked surprise.“Let’s not keep it waiting then, shall we?” I said erotically as I continued to stroke it gently, gaining more courage and confidence with myself, as I saw first hand the extent of my effect on him.“Oh we so shall, I can’t physically resist you anymore, Angel” he said softly as he ran his fingers through my hair.Something oc
