Convincing her

For their safety, Lucas placed the glass he was holding on the table and wrapped both his arms around Jen his palms making contact with her bare sides since even though she was wearing a one piece swimming costume it did not leave much to one's imagination.

In fact, Lucas was so tempted to pull on the string that was tied in front of her cleavage to release the two bundles that were confined in the costume in the first place.

Jen's tongue boldly plunged into Lucas' mouth kissing him deeply, bringing with it the faint taste of the whisky he had drunk earlier. When Jen felt that she was being carried away, she finally separated from Lucas who at that time had her hair in his fist and pulled her head back.

"Tsk, tsk, how audacious miss Larson" Lucas said as his teeth pulled on her earlobe and rather than respond with her normal embarrassment, Jen laughed happily, especially when his teeth nipped on her jaw.

Lucas looked at her with eyes filled with intrigue. When she was mellowed out by wine she was just more receptive and responsive to his touches, but now that she had something that was significantly stronger than wine it seemed that she was even bolder and playful.

Although he had enjoyed their first night together, e had to admit that he was also druk when they had slept together so his memories were not entirely objective until the later part of their night together.

"Don't blame me Mr. Lewis, it seems you are harder to resist than I anticipated" Jen flirted back and bit his lower lip making him smile at her. Lucas was thoroughly intrigued by her, even though he too was slightly drunk.

"How can I blame you?" Lucas asked as he leaned on the back of the comfortable chair. When he was inattentive Jen took another large gulp of her drink but did not share it like she did previously and instead, she greedily swallowed the cold liquid that managed to burn her throat.

"Drink slowly" Lucas said worriedly.

"Mmh" Jen responded as she finally realised that she was drinking too fast. The two of them watched the people in the crowded pool volleyball with mixed teams.

When Laura had managed to score a goal, Jen and Lucas managed to witness something amazing,

James was so proud of her he lifted her over his head by er waist, an action that made her release a shrill scream and make everyone laugh at her in amusement.

Laura frantically grabbed onto James' shoulders to give herself balance and before she could even have a proper hold on him he had put her down but hadn't released her.

The people who noticed this were the observers that included Jen, Lucas and Rachel.

Laura's body slid down James' body as he put her down back into the water. Jen did not miss their interaction even though she was already slightly drunk.

"Do you think those two are into each other?" Jen asked Lucas who was absentmindedly nuzzling her neck.

"Probably" Lucas responded when he saw how James was smiling at Laura in amusement. She had either said or done something that only the two of them knew of since no one else in the pool had reacted to their interaction.

"Did this turn into a matchmaking event?" Jen asked feeling strange about the whole situation.

"They are all adults, they can take care of themselves" Lucas said again patiently even though they already had that conversation.

"Fine, I won't worry anymore" Jen said as she picked up her glass and took a sip from it.

"Aren't you cold?" Lucas asked as she put her glass on the table.

"Why? you want to warm me up?" Jen asked naughtily making Lucas laugh.

"You're barely wearing anything" Lucas said and pulled at the string that was tied in front of her chest. Unexpectedly, it actually came undone making Jen quickly rush to cover her chest.

"Have you lost your mind?" Jen scolded as she glared at him.

"I thought it was decorative" Lucas said feeling flustered and turned her to face him so she wouldn't get exposed.

"How is it decorative?" Jen complained with red cheeks.

"Wait, is it supposed to be so easy to untie?" Lucas asked as he too frowned. He was already imagining if it had come undone in the pool what would have happened.

"This is all I could do, if you are so good why don't you do it?" Jen said and stopped hiding her chest. Thankfully majority of what could be seen were the tops of her breasts although the exposure was very risky since Lucas could see a hint of her areolas.

Lucas grabbed the two strings and tugged on them pulling the two sides of the swimsuit tight against each other covering her breasts, however he did not stop there and continued trying to make sure the least skin would show before Jen slapped his hand hard.

"I can't breath, it's too tight" Jen complained. She was already pretty drunk and the last thing she wanted was to feel constrained. Lucas looked at her before loosening it slightly and started to tie it up.

"Loosed it up more, what do you think your doing?" Jen complained when she noticed that he was already tying it up. Her poor chest was very uncomfortable so she took matters in her own hands and loosened it so that it looked like it did before. Lucas frowned when he saw her loosen it.

"Don't you think it's too late for me to pretend to be conservative. I already walked all over the place like this" Jen said with a laugh when she noticed he was frowning.

"Mmh" Lucas helplessly agreed.

"Since that's settled, tie this up for me" Jen said sounding overbearing. If someone saw them Lucas would definitely look like he was being bullied not knowing he ruthlessly strangled her poor chest just a few seconds before.

Lucas tied the strings into a firm knot but continued to frown.

"If you thought it was revealing then you should have said something in the bedroom" Jen said in amusement when she saw that he was still sulking.

"You should wear what you want to wear" Lucas replied.

"Yes I should, but if i'm in a good mood I might change it, so just tell me rather than think about it silently like you are doing now" Jen said and smiled in satisfaction once he nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm very decent compared to Laura" Jen said and kissed his cheeks.

"Mmh" Lucas replied not caring much about what Laura was wearing.

"Let's get you some drinks" Jen said when she realised Lucas wasn't being any fun and stood up from his lap and picked up her glass and went to the bar to order something for him.
