Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 50: Day at the office

Soon enough Jen had forgotten about everything and was sitting cross-legged in one of the sofas in Lucas' office. He had seen that she was bored so he had given her his laptop to entertain herself. She was grateful for it and logged into the university website to listen to the lecture that she had missed that day.

She was so focused she hadn't even noticed the people who came and went from Lucas' office. As time passed she got even more immersed in what she was doing she didn't notice how quickly time had passed.

She felt a tap on her shoulder and saw that Lucas was standing in front of her. She removed her earphones to listen to what he had to say.

"I have a short meeting, when I'm done I'll take you home" Lucas informed her.

Even though he had left twice before for his meetings it didn't seem like she had noticed his absence then but it was already getting late and he didn't want to be too tired the following day.

Jen smiled and nodded in acknowledgement and watched him as he left the office.

She went back to her studying and lost track of time until Lucas tapped on her shoulder again an hour later. She quickly gathered herself and left the office with him. This time Dave was not driving them, so Lucas drove her back all the way home.

"Do you want to come in for dinner?" Jen asked before getting out of the car.

"I really want to but I have urgent work that I need to finish up tonight" Lucas replied. They sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Lucas got out of the car and went to open the door for Jen.

Jen noticed that this was something he had never failed to do from the first time they met to date. She couldn't help but feel touched by how attentive he was being. Jen got out of the car and stood to the side as Lucas closed the car door.

"Umm, I guess I'll go in first" Jen said her gaze not meeting his.

Lucas grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him before she turned to leave. Jen was startled by his sudden action and lost her balance resulting in her grabbing his jacket for support. She lifted her head to look at him and noticed he was smiling.

He didn't look as constricted as he did before because he had removed his tie the moment they had entered the car. Lucas held her against him, to help her stand properly but did not release her when she finally found her balance.

"Did you plan to just leave?" Lucas asked.

"Is there anything that we need to discuss?" Jen asked puzzled.

"No goodnight?" Lucas asked while tilting his head.

"Mmh, goodnight then?" Jen said pretending to be oblivious to what he was asking for.

"That's it?" Lucas asked incredulously making Jen laugh in amusement.

"How could that be it?" Jen asked as she wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him in for a warm hug. Jen enjoyed his hugs because she always felt safe when she was in his embrace.

"I miss you already" Jen whispered in his ear.

"Me too," he said back.

With a regretful sigh, Jen started pulling back from the hug, but Lucas grabbed her arms and put them back around his neck. He leaned down as Jen met him halfway before their lips connected. The hands on her waist pulled her even closer to him as they kissed and Jen had surrendered herself to his kisses.

He nipped on her lips making her turn breathless before parting them as his tongue pushed into her mouth, Jen also boldly tangled her tongue with his making the kiss turn out to be very lustful. Lucas' hand travelled from her waist down to her backside, holding the firm buns in his big palms and squeezing them.

This time Jen was unable to hold back her moan making Lucas kiss her even more deeply before they knew they were too engrossed to notice that there was someone who was taking pictures of the couple.

Finally, Lucas decided to stop before he changed his mind and stayed back. They were both panting for air while trying to calm themselves down. When their heartbeats were back to normal Lucas finally released his hold on her backside which he had not noticed until the moment Jen was giving him cute accusing glares.

"Goodnight baby," Lucas said and gave her a peck on her lips before waiting for her to her house. After she waved and closed the door his body tensed up. He thought he had seen something when they were standing at the side of his car but he couldn't see or hear any movement as of that moment.

He tilted his head wondering whether he had imagined it but after double-checking the suspicious area he didn't find anything. So he got back to his car and drove off, not forgetting to tell Jen to lock her doors and windows.

Meanwhile in City K Tyler was seated in his office a glass of whisky in one hand as he put the cigarette that was between his fingers between his lips. It was already late and he was about to go home, but Roy came to his office to report an update on the work he had asked him to do for him.

"Any news?" Tyler asked with his eyes closed as he leaned on the back of his comfortable office chair.

"Yes sir, upon your request I had immediately hired a private investigator and he was able to find out what had happened to Miss Larson from the moment she left City K." Roy went on to narrate how she had started university and how she had met with Lucas and how their relationship had progressed in the short span of a week.

Tyler's eyebrows furrowed the more he heard of the details that surrounded the relationship between those two. Roy had even presented the photos that he had received earlier that night in his effort of verifying that the relationship between Jen and Lucas was not some publicity stunt.

Tyler's eyes were fixed on the photographs of the couple kissing each other passionately and he could feel a flame burn in his chest. His eyes grew colder by the minute as his gaze was fixated on the photographs. Roy had stopped talking after he detected the change in Tyler.

"My dear Jen, I see that you've moved on," Tyler said to no one particular. Roy had firmly decided to keep his mouth shut.

"But what should I do? I'm still right where you left me" Tyler said with a cold smile. His mood had turned sour, he extinguished his cigarette and stood up to leave his office.

"Get the car ready" Tyler ordered and Roy immediately went to relay his orders.
