Lucas’s POV
In all my sexual encounters; and I’ve had many, kissing someone has never felt so damn good before as it did right now.
I was drowning in those lips, lifted into a whole other universe, floated on cloud nine, and never wanted to stop kissing her.
Her lips evoked feelings, desires, and burning sensations within me that I never felt before her.
Kissing her was easily becoming my new addiction.
I’ve been dying for another taste since last night, and I couldn’t waste another second without getting my next fix, without getting my fresh breath of air again from within those sweet tasting lips.
This time, I let my tongue explore hers and devour her mouth sensually, and fuck me, it felt so good to taste her like that.
I kept kissing her until we were both extremely out of breath and damn near suffocating.
And I didn’t miss the fact that she was kissing me back as well.
There was no denying her feelings for me anymore. Even without answering my earlier question, I already got my answer. She was just as affected with me as I was with her.
I rested my head against her forehead as we both tried to catch our breaths.
Her eyes were closed, while mine were drowning in her beauty, admiring every inch of her flawless face.
I couldn’t resist from leaning in and printing a soft kiss right on her beauty mark, at the upper right side of her mouth.
She opened her eyes and looked at me after I did it.
“Tell me, Angel” I said quietly. She knew what I was referring to.
She shook her head and said in a small voice “Lucas….. We can’t”
Gosh this girl is so fucking stubborn! How could she keep denying this impossible connection we have to each other?
“Give me one good reason why we can’t” I asked calmly, trying to get to the bottom of this and sort out all her confusion right here and now.
She looked down at the ground and said vulnerably “Because of who I am and because of everything that happened to get me here”
My hands were still cupping her face, I swiped my thumbs gently on her cheeks and said softly “I don’t blame you for any of it. None of us do Angelina. We’ve already been through this. None of it was your fault. I don’t see you as his daughter because you’re not, you never were”
She looked at me, stared into my eyes trying to sense the honesty behind my words and I stared right back at hers, telling her silently how much I meant every word that just left my mouth.
“Then why do I still feel guilty and responsible as hell for everything that happened to your family? Why can’t I accept it?” she asked vulnerably.
She added more shakily “Besides….I might still be in danger even after you kill him, and I can’t take that risk and jeopardize you or your family anymore, I just won’t”
“Our whole lives here in this town, danger was always a part of it, we’re constantly in danger here there’s nothing new really. If you think I’m going to let you leave this town on your own while you’re still in danger, then you don’t really know me well” I said assertively.
“Well, I’m not going to add to it. You have to let me go Lucas. It’s my choice” she said determinedly.
This chick is going to break the last pieces of sanity I’ve got left. I’m certain of it.
“Did you call your guy or not?” she asked me in suspicion.
“I didn’t” I said flatly.
“Do it, right now” she ordered.
“And if I don’t?” I challenged.
She narrowed her eyes at me and said stubbornly “I’m leaving Lucas. With a fake ID or my old one, it doesn’t matter, I’m leaving no matter what the moment you kill Zade. If you stand in my way, Diana will help me leave if that’s truly what I want. So if you really care for me the way you say you do, then you’ll make the call”
I wasn’t backing down from this, she’s not going anywhere.
But I was done trying to convince her right now.
I will do whatever it takes to change her mind in the next few days.
I released my hold on her cheeks and pulled out my phone from my back pocket.
I searched for Ryan’s number then hit dial and opened the speaker for her to listen to the conversation, so she doesn’t doubt whatever I tell her and think I’m lying. I just prayed to God he would tell me it will take a month or two and not a few days.
“Lucas! To what do I owe the pleasure of this unexpected phone call? It’s been a few weeks since we last talked” said Ryan enthusiastically.
“How’s it going man? Still keeping out of trouble?” I said playfully.
“Well you know me, trouble follows me like my best friend, there’s no staying away from it” he said smugly.
“I know all about your troubles dude! And It’s nothing compared to what we’re dealing with here. Listen, speaking of which, there’s someone I need you to make a fake ID for. I need it to be the real deal though. The best job you can ever pull”
“Hey! My IDs are always flawless. When have I ever made a fake ID for you that wasn’t impeccable? Just ask your b….”
I cut him off before he could mention the fake IDs he made for my brother and Jenny and expose me here as I said smoothly “Okay, okay, we get it you’re a pro. How fast can you deliver me this ID?”
I looked at her and saw her eyeing the phone warily while biting her bottom lip. I wanted nothing more than to bite that lip myself, suck it, and kiss it like it’s my favorite ice cream flavor.
It took Ryan a few seconds to respond, all the while, I was praying for him secretly to give me no less than a week.
“I’m pretty backed up here with simultaneous fake papers to prepare so….. I don’t know, it might take me a while bro” he said in an unsure tone.
I saw her blow out a breath in frustration and glare at me in agitation. I couldn’t help my grin from escaping and provoking her further.
I shrugged my shoulders to tell her that it was out of my control this time and said to Ryan more enthusiastically “Well, take your time. I’m in no rush here”
She smacked me on my chest and gave me a death glare while I just chuckled.
“Okay, just send me the picture and I will whip it up for you in…….. About ten days” he said firmly.
I was expecting two weeks at the least, but ten days were more than enough to get her to stay, I was very certain of that.
“Sending it right now, let me know when it’s ready” I said before hanging up and giving her a wink “Looks like you’ll be staying for ten more days Angel”
She pursed her lips and said strictly “You could have asked him to prioritize me first and we both know that. He’s not just a random guy you barely know, he’s your friend!”
“Who said he is?” I asked tauntingly.
She rolled her eyes and didn’t say anything as she pouted adorably.
“It’s ten days, not a whole month. Unless you’re afraid I could change your mind in those ten days” I said softly.
“You can’t change my mind. My decision is final” she said firmly.
I could see that it was about the furthest thing from being final. Right from those lying eyes of hers.
I was so ready for that challenge to change her mind in those ten days and make her mine.
It was becoming my favorite game, making this angel fall in love with me and decide to stay here with me and my family for good. But most of all, I want to erase every ounce of guilt, fear, pain, and despair she has experienced in the past few days and fill her whole life with pure, joyful, happiness only.
