For the first time in a few days, Jen managed to wake up naturally in the morning. She had developed a dislike for Lucas" alarm tone over time so not having it wake her up in the morning was nothing short of a blessing for her.
Although she woke up naturally, in reality she had woken up because she was feeling hot. Lucas body was like a furnace, and even though that would be the best thing that could happen to anyone during winter, in summer it was nothing short of a nightmare. The only reason Jen was able to sleep with him was because of the air conditioning in the bedroom.
In all honesty, she was especially hot because she was not wearing anything and her skin was directly plastered against Lucas" skin as he insisted on hugging her to sleep.
The only time she would receive some reprieve was when she needed to use the bathroom where he would release her, but the moment he felt her get back into bed he would pull her against his body almost subconsciously.
Jen pulled down the blanket that she had used to cover herself since she was so hot. Her body was finally cooled down from the cool air in the room. It had gotten really hot under the blankets. As she was getting comfortable, Lucas nuzzled his face in her chest and continued to sleep comfortably.
Jen stroked his short hair absentmindedly as she stretched her other hand to take her phone. She saw that it was almost 9 am and she was tempted to go back to sleep, but she wouldn"t be able to even if she wanted to.
She was still feeling sluggish and her body was sore from the previous night"s activities as Lucas did not even bother to let her clean up after dinner before she was tossed into bed and was thoroughly toyed with for hours.
Jen absentmindedly continued to play with Lucas" hair as she went through her social media. She loosened her hold on him when she felt him move once more and bit her lip when she felt his stubble roughly rub against the smooth skin on her chest.
"Lucas?" Jen whispered but received no response so she waited for him to settle so she could continue wasting time. Once Lucas had settled she brought her phone in front of her resting her hand against the side of his face and she continued amusing herself with it.
It did not take long before she felt wetness against her chest. She thought she imagined it until she felt teeth nip at her nipples. She was so startled that she dropped her phone. She did not think that she would be taken advantage of like this.
"Lucas!" Jen said trying to sound stern but her voice sounded like she was encouraging him. Before she knew it, she was flipped over and she was laying on her back with Lucas on top of her.
The hand that had been playing with his hair was now tangled in it as she took two conflicting positions. She was not sure whether she should be encouraging him or discouraging him but what she did know was that she felt good even though her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were sensitive from the previous night"s activities.
Jen hadn"t known he was awake but he had woken up when she was moving around to get her phone. She had completely lowered her guard thinking that he was sleeping. It did not take long before Lucas and Jen were busy with their morning activities.
"Is there anywhere you want to go to in particular?" Ethan asked and looked at Leanna who was sitting in the pa.s.senger"s seat of his jeep.
"Are you interested in me?" Leanna asked bluntly as she turned to look at him with her piercing gaze. He did not think that she would be so blunt. He was also caught off guard by her sudden question. How did asking her where she wanted to go end up with him being interested in her?
Even though Ethan was fl.u.s.tered, he could not say he wasn"t, because he was interested in her. He found her personality quite refres.h.i.+ng, she seemed to always say what she was thinking without beating around the bush or trying to incorporate what she wants to communicate into a joke.
"I am" Ethan answered honestly.
"Is that so?" Leanna commented before she was deep in thought.
"Mmh, aren"t you interested in me?" Ethan asked curiously. He hoped she would be blunt with her answers as she was with her questions.
Leanna looked up from her hands to directly look at Ethan with a searching gaze. She was honestly interested in him but she still remembered how her boyfriend acted.
Granted, compared to her ex who owned a gym, Ethan was a doctor something that could be considered an upgrade if she decided to actively reciprocate his feelings. However, she was worried. She was still healing from her previous relations.h.i.+p.
"I am" Leanna answered honestly and Ethan smiled in response. He couldn"t help but think that she was truly refres.h.i.+ng.
