Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 148: His shirts

"C'mere" Lucas said and dropped the things he was holding on the floor before stalking her. Jen's eyes widened and she smiled nervously as she had managed to back herself up into a wall.

"Lucas what's going on?" Jen asked.

Lucas was already standing in front of her at this point and held the side of her neck so his thumb was under her chin. He pushed her chin up so her head was tilted backwards so she could look at him.

"Why do you like wearing my shirts?" Lucas asked as he used his other hand to fiddle with the collar of the shirt.

"Do you hate it?" Jen asked as she dropped the wooden spoon she was holding and held the lapels of his jacket.

"That's not it, I'm curious" Lucas replied and retrieved his eyes that were looking at her collar bone to look back at her face.

"I never really thought about it. They are comfortable, and I can't help but feel like they suit me. I can stop wearing them if you want" Jen said self-consciously as she looked at the sleeves that were too long for her arms. Jen only felt her face being lifted before Lucas brushed his lips against hers and she closed her eyes on reflex.

"Why were you walking away from me earlier?" Lucas asked his lips brushing against hers, his warm breath lightly brushing her lips together with his own.

"You looked like you were up to no good" Jen replied honestly and she heard him lowly chuckle before his body pressed her against the wall. She wrapped her arms around his neck to create even more room for them so that they could comfortably press against each other.

[A/N: Lol]

"Is that so?" Lucas asked and wrapped his hands around her slim waist.

"Are you going to kiss me or nah?" Jen asked feeling frustrated from all the teasing that Lucas was doing.

"Mmh," Lucas responded and slightly opened his mouth against her own parted lips and directly went for a deep kiss without bothering to ease her into it. After the initial surprise of his tongue pressing against hers, Jen closed her eyes and savored the kiss.

It was a leisurely, languid, lazy, kiss that was intense enough to keep them both engaged but not to the point that they wanted to tear off each other's clothes. Jen lightly bit his lips as she raked her nails through his hair.

This action instantly changed the atmosphere as Lucas' fingers pulled on the long tail of her french braid tilting her head further back and intensifying the kiss to the point that Jen was taking shallow breaths whenever she had the chance which just served to fire him up even more.

He released her lips and left a trail of kisses to her jaw. Jen closed her eyes when she felt his stubble roughly graze the skin on her neck and let out small moans especially when his teeth grazed her shoulder that was exposed because his shirt had slipped off one of her shoulders since it was too big for her.

At this point, Lucas decided to stop otherwise they would not be having dinner he could already feel the little rationality that he had, start slipping away.. He looked at her and smiled before pecking her nose and releasing her.

"Ahem, how was work?" Jen asked as she picked up the wooden spoon she had dropped. Lucas looked at her with a smile plastered on his face since he found it funny how she tried to act like she was not fazed by what had just happened.

"Work was interesting" Lucas answered honestly, but Jen being Jen finally saw the groceries on the floor.

"How can you throw food on the floor?" Jen asked feeling outraged as she picked up the groceries that had fallen out of the bag and repacked the grocery bag.

Lucas watched her complain incessantly about how he should be more careful with food and how she was relieved she didn't ask him to bring eggs.

Even though he was receiving a tongue lashing at that point he was not really paying attention at all and was instead looking at her behind as she was bent over picking up the things on the floor. He even wondered if they should just shop daily so that he could just "drop" the groceries at home.

After Jen stood up and turned around to go tell him to freshen up, she saw that he was still looking dazedly at her behind. He really knew how to make someone speechless. She gave up on saying anything to him and rolled her eyes before turning to go to the kitchen while letting out an annoyed snort.

Lucas' eyes followed her all the way to the kitchen before he came back to his senses. He picked up his briefcase that he came in with, and took it to his study.

Although he did not feel like working, he knew that he had to at least finish what he was supposed to have finished that day, otherwise he was going to regret it tomorrow.

After setting up his desk, he went to take a shower before going down stairs. He was wearing pajama pants for once and had a towel slung across his shoulders while he used one side to wipe his wet hair. Jen was still busy in the kitchen and he went to check on what she was doing.

"Do you need help?" Lucas asked.

"I'm almost done" she said as she plated the vegetables she had been stir frying. She put the pan on the sink and placed the plate on the kitchen counter where Lucas was sitting.

"Shouldn't you set the table?"Jen asked when she noticed that he was not moving. Lucas obediently took the plate to the table and saw that she had already set up the rest of the table. He shook his head in amusement and went back to the kitchen.

"You should have started having your meal, aren't you hungry?" Jen asked when she heard him come into the kitchen.

"Mmh, you should also come have dinner. Lucas said as he stood behind her. He forced her hands to release the pot she was washing and helped her wash the soap off of them. As he was being considerate, he was thinking of whether he should tell her about Tyler coming to City X.
