Chapter Fifty-Seven
“Annabelle will be here shortly with a proper outfit, while Ada will take care of bringing your clothes from the white house” He said and Jessica nodded in agreement while taking a sip of her coffee.
“Not that you don’t look delicious in my underwear, but you’ll have to wear something else eventually” he said bringing a bite in to his lips after stressing the word delicious just enough to make Jessica self conscious about herself
A blush crept up under her cheeks at the allusion; Jessica took another sip trying to keep her eyes on her mug instead of them wandering all over his body because she knew for a fact that he was just as delicious in his shirt
“Uhmhum” she mumbled nodding
“I have told you, I don’t speak mumblings” his came out in a warning tone, his gaze inten
Chapter Fifty-EightJessica’s entire body froze as Lucas’ warm breath caressed her earlobe she almost squirmed.“Now you better go get dressed or else I’m not sure how long I can resist tearing that shirt off of you” he said pulling away from her ear but remained in his spot which was obviously barely an inch away from her small figure as he towered her and it made her feel all the more vulnerable near him.He let her hands slip which was her cue for stepping away from the hold he had on her. Jessica nearly ran inside the bathroom. The apartment was huge yet it seemed secluded with no air whenever Lucas was standing near her, once inside she closed the door behind her and rested her back on it, catching on a breath after feeling her knees weaken like jelly and her heart skyrocketing to the milky way.She barely had two seconds to herself when she heard him kno
Chapter Fifty-NineShe watched as his face paled, and his body stiffened. His thumb froze and his sparkling eyes just turned dull. He let the phone fall off his ear.“What happened?” she inquired but Lucas tensed, he didn’t reply to her, his eyes darkened Jessica brought a hand to his face and only then he was able to say“My father…died” the words left his mouth after a long silence, dull, with no emotion to them. She could feel the void in his voice when Lucas told her the news.*********************Jessica looked at her reflection in the mirror, she was wearing a sleeveless black dress that covered her knees; it was plain although the fabric was light and expensive.Her hair was knotted in a small bun and she was only wearing the necklace Lucas gave her. W
Chapter Sixty“I’ll come back to the apartment tonight” Lucas whispered stroking Jessica’s cheek with his thumb Looking into his eyes Jessica could see how tired he seemed; she nodded in agreement then put her hand on his and a small smile stretched his lips.He brought her hand to his lips and traced her delicate knuckles with his lips before putting a small kiss to the back of her hand. Jessica could feel the tingles all over her body.Lucas pulled her closer to him and nuzzled her shoulder for a moment breathing deeply, Jessica’s fingertips reached his jaw unintentionally as she was engulfed in his presence and intoxicating scent And they remained in that position for a while before they were interrupted by a knock on the door.Lucas muffled a groan pulling back from her reluctantly. Jessica felt the loss when he pulled back from her.That moment was the most intimate if co
Chapter Sixty-OneComing back from a deep slumber, Jessica found herself trapped inside his arms. She could smell his cologne and smiled in delight at the–oh so familiar– scent. Before opening her eyes to meet the stubble on his jaw, Lucas had a hand wrapped around her middle.She blinked a couple times making sure she wasn’t dreaming, her left hand was resting on his chest while their legs intertwined. When did he came and why didn’t he wake her up she reflected but her thoughts were cut short as she felt his hand sliding up her back and pulling her closer to him. Engulfed in his warmth, a soft moan escaped her lips and soon was reciprocated by a chuckle.Jessica tilted her head slightly her green eyes met dark ones and her heart skipped a beat at the familiar lustful gaze Lucas gave her. A strange sensation grew in her belly“Coffee?” he suggested
Chapter Sixty-Two“Hey” Lilly squealed hugging Jessica and they both swayed right and left happily excited at their reunion“Hey” Jessica said after they pulled apart“So?” was her quick question, as much as she enjoyed teasing her friend, she was just as impatient as her when it came to news.“Let us grab something to eat first “Jessica told her“Okay” Lilly nodded in agreement as they both hopped inside the car.After convincing Lucas that she was fine after breakfast he agreed to let her out, of course Emilio would drive her wherever she wanted.After looking at herself in the mirror Jessica noticed her hair growing longer and her roots were dark in comparison to her recently bleached blond hair. but with everything that was going on lately she barely had the energy to eat and sleep so she decid
Chapter Sixty-ThreeHis 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. He simply wanted to feel Jessica next to him in his bed which was something he grew eager to and craved lately. 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 denyLucas 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.S
Chapter Sixty-FourJessica opened her eyes at last; it took her a minute to adjust to the darkness around her. Her eyes widened when she realized her mouth was covered in a thick cloth and her hands were tied above her head. she looked around realizing she was on the floor tied and wearing nothing but a shirt . her mind coming out of the haze she was in she remembered getting out of Lucas’ shower, and putting on one of his shirts the memories from then were all blurry , flashbacks of her being carried away by someone came to mind as flew as soon as she heard a loud thud outside.The door opened and Jessica closed her eyes blinded by the light coming from the entrance. The door closed and she could hear footsteps getting closer, her heart started racing as she was unable to see in the darkness. She tried to talk but her attempt came only in a stifled moan.Her eyes fell on the man standing before her as
Chapter Sixty-Five“No!” Lucas screamed as he watched Joshua stabbing Jessica under his eyes.He was beaten up, tied and had four men holding him but seeing Jessica hurt gave him super powers , he was able to free himself and fought his way to her. Nothing could hold him back right now as he swore to kill him. The men holding him were taken by surprise, he managed to knock one out and hit the other away with a chairRage crippling under his skin, it took more than few men and hand ties to keep him still when the women he loved was stabbed before his eyes With a shot from one of the men’s guns he was able to hit Joshua in his shoulder; putting him to the ground before his men hit him againEmilio intervened at the right time shooting Joshua again; keeping him away from herLucas shot the man before him and ran to where Jessica wa
