All Chapters of The Arrangement: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I could see Lucas move away from the bed like he'd done last time at his penthouse, and then the light in the bathroom came on and he disappeared inside. He didn't close the door though, I debated on whether to join him but I decided against it as I listened to him taking a shower.Minutes later he was done and he then joined me back in the bedroom with a towel tied around his waist. He looked as gorgeous as ever.I checked the clock on the bedside it was already 3 am. I looked back to Lucas and he was already dressing up."You're not staying?" I ask knowing the answer already."Yes, not that I don't want to but you need to rest." He says explaining.I don't answer him, I stand up and head to the bathroom leaving the door open.He joins me minutes later but already fully dressed, he hands me a key with penthouse written on it in block letters on the key.I c

We are taking the magazine pictures today at Lucas's home office, Austin the magazine photographer had suggested his office but Lucas being the private person that he is said we should use one of the empty office's in his penthouse so technically still not his home office."Wow I'm finally going to meet him," Austin says as he finishes setting up."Yeah you are," I say with a smile.Lucas shows at that moment."Miss Ford, are you ready for me?" He asks in a professional yet sexy way.I fight the urge to kiss him and hug him because he looked so good in his suit, I mean he always looks so so good."Yeah we're ready," I say. "This is Austin he's the photographer." I explain."It's finally a please to meet you." Austin says reaching out his hand for a handshake."Likewise," Lucas says returning his handshake."So let's start." I say moving back while

I was half asleep when Lucas came into bed. The mattress dipped and then his warm body pressed up against me. I didn't stir. He brushed my hair off my back and pressed a hot kiss against my neck, then followed it with a gentle bite. I was glad I lay on my stomach and could stifle my gasp in the pillow.He moved even closer, so I could feel his erection through the fabric of his pajama pants. It took all my self-control not to reach out and curl my fingers around his hard-on. His breathing was hot against my ear as he licked my earlobe, making me shiver with desire.He brushed my neck with his knuckles, then moved lower until he reached the dip above my butt. My breathing was coming faster and I could feel my panties sticking to my center from arousal but I still didn't move.Lucas slid his hand over my butt before dipping between my legs. He groaned when his fingers brushed my panties. It took all my willpower not to press

"Vanessa!" My mother's face lit up when she saw me. "That dress is stunning on you!"She air-kissed each of my cheeks. She was gorgeous in a shimmering, fitted black dress."Princess," my dad says hugging me next."Daddy, have you met Lucas Alvarado?""Yes, of course." They shook hands.Lucas pulled me closer to his side. "We share the good fortune of escorting the two most beautiful women in L.A." Lucas said.And my dad agreed nodding."And of course my mother," I introduced her to Lucas."It's finally nice to meet you Lucas," she says. "Although Vanessa I'm mad at you, you didn't tell me you were dating Lucas." She added huffing."I wanted us to be introduced in person" Lucas says with a smile."Well I'm glad." My mom says with a smile."Let's go say hi to your aunt," my mom says pulling me away from Lucas.I look over to Lucas deciding if I should leave him alone with my dad.

It has been 2 weeks since Lucas left, I haven't heard from him and I knew I wasn't going to but I hoped I would.I had started my new job last week which I got a flower delivery from Lucas congratulating me but when I asked when the flower delivery company when they were ordered for me they said it was weeks before Lucas left.Ari was back from New York and was meeting me for lunch. I felt guilty that I still haven't told her and Kathy about Lucas and I. Especially Kathy, he is her brother.I had grabbed us our regular table when Ari walked in and she was with Kathy."Hey Vee," they both say in unison hugging me."Kathy, you're here too?" I asked thrown off a bit because I didn't know she was in L.A."Yeah we got back together, I missed my dad so I came home to spend some time with him." Kathy said explaining."So what's been going on with you?" Ari asks aft
