Chapter 65: He lost


    Lucas watched as the head of security himself came to do the procedure and the two of them left to go back to the penthouse. As they entered the penthouse, Jen removed the heels she was wearing while feeling relief from all the stress she had given her feet. Lucas looked at her curiously as she released afortable sigh as she walked barefooted on the marked floors.


    She went to the kitchen to wash all the dishes they had used when they had lunch and also to fix something light for dinner. Lucas took off his jacket and put it on the living room sofa together with his briefcase. He then headed to the kitchen to see if he could help with anything.


    "Do you need help with anything?" Lucas asked as he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt exposing his toned forearms.


    "Yes actually, help with the dishes as I get started on dinner," Jen said as she left the sink area and went to the fridge.


    "There''s no need for that, why don''t we order dinner and rx instead?" Lucas asked as he continued washing the dishes that Jen had left.


    "Should we do that?" Jen asked as she took the juice out of the fridge instead of the ingredients she was nning to use. She had always loved cooking, that was why she had opened her businesses that catered to her hobbies.


    She didn''t think it was troublesome, but if Lucas wanted to order dinner she wouldn''t protest. So she went ahead and poured the juice into two sses and slowly sipped on it as she watched Lucas finish with the dishes.


    "Let''s enjoy tonight, just the two of us," Lucas said and shed a smile in her direction. Jen couldn''t help but smile back at him.


    "Mmmh, let''s do that" Jen said before taking a sip of her juice.


    "How are your sses?" Lucas asked curiously. Jen was the only person he knew that went to school after being aplished so he was curious about what she thought of what she was learning.


    "I don''t mind all the theory, but I''ve never been good with numbers. Even with my businesses, I''m outsourcing at an ounting firm, the moment I see numbers I feel lethargic." Jenined with a small pout.


    At this point, Lucas was done with the dishes and was wiping his hands dry with a kitchen towel. He only gave her an amused smile when he heard her response.


    He walked towards where she was standing and trapped her between himself and the kitchen counter, which was a move that really surprised Jen.


    "If it bes unbearable, juste to me, I''ll help you" Lucas offered generously.


    Jen was very touched as she knew how precious his time was, so she nodded as she looked up at him. Lucas reached out behind her for the ss of juice that she poured for him and the distance between them grew even smaller.


    Jen found herself holding her breath, he was so close that she could see the 5 o''clock stubble that had grown on his chin and jaw. She unconsciously reached out to touch the stubble and could feel the prickly sensation on her fingers.


    Lucas looked at her once he retrieved the juice he had been reaching for but her hand was still on his face. He knew he hadn''t shaved for a couple of days, and his facial hair grew pretty fast, but he wasn''t expecting her to touch his face with a nk expression in her eyes.


    "Do you hate it? I''ll shave it off tonight, I haven''t had time to do it" Lucas said after he noticed that she had been too quiet.


    "Don''t, I love it," Jen said as she looked at him in the eyes since she had been too focused on the growth on his face.


    "So should I grow it?" Lucas asked as he raised an eyebrow.


    "Do whatever you want. It''s not like I''m with you just for this right?" Jen replied as her fingers traced along his jaw.


    For some reason, her answer was really to his liking and Lucas couldn''t stop the smile that surfaced on his face. Jen was still fixated on his face so the sudden appearance of his dimples was a nice surprise.


    She had never said it out loud but she really liked his dimples. they softened his features and gave him a boyish andfortable look. Jen looked into his eyes once more and smiled back at him before rising to her tiptoes and kissing his full lips.


    Lucas was surprised as she rarely took initiative to kiss him, but he was not surprised for too long as he quickly responded to her kiss. Jen ced her ss on the kitchen counter ensuring that there is some distance between her and the ss so she wouldn''t identally knock it over.


    She then ced her free hand in Lucas'' hair as the other one rested on his broad shoulder. Jen was slightly flustered by the fact that Lucas'' hands were still on the counter and he had not made any move to touch her or hold her but she could feel her heart race from excitement.


    Lucas'' tongue entered her mouth and suddenly she was robbed of the control she had over their kiss. Jen could only stand there as his tongue plundered her mouth relentlessly. Lucas could feel as Jen''s breathing got heavier and whenever she had a chance to breathe she would release a small breathy moan which drove him crazy.


    He pulled back from the kiss before he lost control over himself but Jen seemed to be having too much fun and was unwilling to let him go. She did not release his hair and she tugged on the necktie that was around his neck to show that she did not want to stop yet.


    She looked at him with heavy-lidded eyes and reddened cheeks and swollen lips and Lucas groaned helplessly because at that moment he knew that he lost.
