As expected, the couple went another round in the tub. Lucas had been able to successfully get her to do it again, and she was relieved when he did not insist to do it once they were in bed later that night.
Jen was completely worn out and Lucas had an arm her shoulders as she rested on his chest. She had pretty much foregone using pillows since she started sleeping in the same bed with Lucas.
"I think I"ll be sore tomorrow" Jen complained as she tried to get comfortable in her sleeping position.
"You"ll be fine," Lucas said while smiling. He was clearly not concerned about any soreness. She had gotten a work out in the tub since she was the one on top when they were doing it so she really worked her legs and waist.
"We could have just come to the bedroom," Jen said in complaint.
"That would have totally ruined the mood. We"d have to empty the tub then dry up, then you would have to dry your hair, by the time we would have been done I would have just been ready to sleep" Lucas explained.
Jen thought about it and thought what he said did make sense but she paused her thoughts and looked at him.
"Is that why you went for it on the dining table? You couldn"t at least get to the living room?" Jen asked as she tilted her head back and looked at him.
"It"s your fault for being too irresistible," Lucas said but when Jen looked closely she saw that his ears were red. He was clearly embarra.s.sed by his loss of control.
Lucas had started teasing her in an attempt to teach her that she should only be thinking of him and not any other men, but that plan backfired when he ended up succ.u.mbing to his desire. She really looked tempting then, it would have been weird if he had no reaction at all.
"Did you find out from Dave what the theme of the party is going to be?" Jen asked expectantly. She wanted to go shopping with Nancy the next day.
"I forgot," Lucas said. How could he remember when he had been so upset before. Dave had even gone ahead to annoy him more by not leaving him a lighted after he asked for cigarettes.
Jen frowned when she heard his answer and he sheepishly scratched his head.
"I"ll ask him first thing in the morning" Lucas promised.
"Mmh," Jen said. She was already exhausted, the emotional ups and downs that she had experienced that day together with being tossed around by Lucas left her on her last legs…
It didn"t take long for her to fall asleep and Lucas had gotten so used to sleeping with her, he immediately knew when she finally slept.
He turned off the lights and pulled her closer to him. It really felt good to go to bed with everything resolved, even though it was a bit unorthodox how they managed to resolve everything. Soon enough, Lucas also fell asleep.
David had gone straight home from the office. He was thoroughly annoyed by Lucas but he had to understand, at least as a friend. It wasn"t like he had a choice anyway, if he decided to stay mad he would only be hurting himself anyway.
He parked his car in the garage of his villa and went into the house through the door that connected his garage and his kitchen and directly went into his house.
David"s house lacked the warmth that Lucas" house had. It perfectly reflected his personality as there were only two dominant colours. The s.p.a.ce was only filled with black or white, it was either marble or gla.s.s, there were no woods in his house. Even his dining table was made of marble. The coffee table in his living room was made of gla.s.s. The house really showed his unyielding personality.
He turned on the lights as he made his way up to his bedroom. Unsurprisingly, even his bedroom was dominated by black, his walls, his bed and even the other materials were all black.
The only difference was that unlike the white lights in the rest of the house, the lights in his room were warm so the bedroom did not look stifling at all, it actually made it look really charming.
David went to change and went to his gym downstairs and had an hour-long workout. He made sure to work out regularly as a fit body really boosted his confidence.
After the workout, he went back to his room and showered before he put on his black silk pyjama bottoms and picked up his phone to call Nancy.
Nancy picked up the phone on the fifth ring and her voice was heard from the speakers.
"h.e.l.lo?" she said lazily, her voice husky from sleep.
"Were you sleeping?" David asked with a smile.
"Mmh" Nancy replied.
"Should I call you another time?" David asked.
"Mmh? No, I can talk now" Nancy said and David"s smile widened.
"Did you miss me today?" David asked in his normal voice.
"Mmh" Nancy acknowledged before she realised what she had just said yes to.
"David!" she shouted and he chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt. He found it fun to tease her for some reason. If his friends saw this sight they would really rub their eyes in disbelief.
They talked like that for about half an hour before he heard her light snores through the speaker of his phone. He listened for a few seconds with a smile on his face.
"Goodnight," he said before he cut the call and went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. In all honesty, he could not cook to save his life.
The housekeeper that came to clean his house twice a week would also fix his meals and pack them up separately so he wouldn"t go hungry. After microwaving his pre-packed meal, he quickly ate it and went to bed.
He had to rest early in case Lucas was still grumpy the following day.
