38 Good afternoon

Jen quickly made the stir-fried beef and vegetables and served them up in plates. They both sat together at the table and ate as they talked. As they were finishing up their lunch, Lucas received a phone call from Hellen.

"Hi mom" Lucas greeted as he looked back at Jen who was staring inquisitively.

"Lucas, I thought you were moving today" Hellen went straight to the point. Lucas had completely forgotten about this matter. His gentle gaze turned to a frustrated one and Jen slightly tilted her head in question, but Lucas was not able to say anything at the moment.

"Oh well-"

"The movers are here, you told me it's today so I had the maids pack your things in boxes since Friday" Hellen continued.

"Um-"

"Did you change your mind perhaps?" She prodded. Lucas was silent for a few seconds in case his mother wanted to interrupt him again.

"I haven't changed my mind, I just forgot about it"

"Is Jen there? Give her the phone"

"What makes you think that I'm with her?" Lucas asked as he pointed at his phone asking Jen if she would like to talk to his mom. Jen was not expecting Hellen to want to talk to her. If she agreed what will they talk about? If she said no won't it just be rude? She was still in a dilemma as Lucas talked to his mother.

"Well, you two left the hotel together last night and you didn't come home" Hellen reasoned.

"I could have been at Ethan's house" he reasoned

"He lives even further than here, what will you be doing? driving in the middle of the night to go sleep at his house?"

[A/N: Ethan is one of Lucas' closest friends… I know he hasn't made an appearance yet].

Lucas could not refute his mother's reasoning. His mother was persistent about talking to Jen and Jen was not telling him whether she also wanted to talk to her or not so he made the decision for her and handed her his phone. Jen stared at his phone before taking it.

"Hello Mrs Lewis"

"Sweetheart, didn't I tell you to call me auntie?" Hellen sweetly complained making Jen briefly speechless.

"Hi Auntie"

"Hi, how are you?" Hellen replied happily

"I'm okay," Jen said feeling slightly awkward.

"I hope my son isn't bullying you," Hellen said her voice still cheerful.

"No, he isn't" Jen replied feeling slightly guilty for her short responses.

"Will you come today?" Hellen asked.

"Come? Where?" Jen asked feeling puzzled.

"To the main house, of course, Lucas is moving out today isn't he bringing you along?" Hellen said as if it was obvious that she would go.

"I'll try my best" Jen replied but did not make any promises. This is because Lucas had not told her that he was moving on that day. She thought he was not okay, how can he shop for all his things and move in in the span of two days?

The two women exchanged a few more pleasantries before Jen handed Lucas' phone back to him. She quickly took the dishes to the kitchen without saying a word about her conversation with Hellen. Lucas helped her with the dishwashing and after he was done he pulled her to sit with him on the couch.

"Don't you owe me something today?" Lucas asked.

"What?" Jen asked puzzled.

"My good morning kiss" Lucas said as if it was something obvious.

"It's not morning anymore" she rebuffed.

"Then my good afternoon kiss" Lucas said as he teased a strand of her hair. Jen tilted her head upwards and kissed his chin.

"Are we good?" she asked him clear provocation could be seen in her eyes. Lucas did not reply but instead caught her chin between his index finger and his thumb and overbearingly kissed her. Jen could only hold on to the bathrobe he was wearing. The hand that was teasing her hair before caught the nape of her nape and Lucas proceeded to deepen the kiss.

When his lips parted Jen's lips parted too, and she could only shudder when she felt his tongue in her mouth. Lucas released her chin and powerfully tugged on her bare leg and she slid to lie down on the couch. He hovered over her as he resumed kissing her.

His hand was still in her hair, he gently tugged on it tilting her head back in the process. His teeth tugged on her lip and she felt his hand under her t-shirt already fondling her soft breast. Jen could pant for air at this point.

With her neck exposed now that her head was tilted backwards, Lucas nipped on her chin before raining small nips and kisses on her jaw. He nipped her ear with his teeth and she shuddered when she felt his tongue soothe the area.

With the myriad of sensations he was assaulting her with, Jen failed to notice that Lucas had stopped fondling her breasts so when his hand slipped into her shorts she almost jumped off the couch. She was truly surprised. Lucas chuckled when he saw her reaction but did not stop.

Jen released a long moan when she felt his fingers. One of her hands was gently pressing against his chest as it was not completely covered by the robe, while the other one was holding on to his hand that was in her shorts, it was unclear whether she wanted him to stop or if she was encouraging him.

With his other hand still holding her hair in his fist, Lucas' intense hazel eyes met Jen's brown eyes, which were dilated from arousal.

"Lucas" Jen said her voice hoarse from lust. Lucas did not respond but he also didn't break their eye contact.

"We need to stop… you need to go home" Jen said her voice breaking, she said these words to him but her lower body was grinding against his hand. Even if Lucas wanted to heed her words, he could not bear to.

"We, we hav-"Jen was promptly cut off when wave after wave of pleasure racked her body. Lucas watched her as her eyes rolled to the back of her head and breathlessly moaned. Her nails had dug into his chest and she shuddered against his body.

He could feel her wetness on his fingers as she experienced wave after wave of pleasure. Lucas did not stop till she collapsed on the couch breathing deeply.

He leaned down and kissed her deeply once more, she automatically responded to his kisses and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Lucas separated his lips from hers and looked at her, and when she saw his eyes, she knew he was going to tease her.

"Good afternoon my love" Lucas said with his deep voice. She was not expecting him to call her 'my love' so she just laid there with her mouth hanging open.

"You still owe me my good morning kiss," Lucas said making Jen's eyes widen.
