Convincing her

"I'm going to take a quick shower, I'll be back soon," Lucas said as he picked up his clothes from the floor and took the rest of his things upstairs. Jen smiled as she watched him disappear up the stairs before she started setting the food on the table.

Lucas didn't take too long in the shower, so Jen did not have to wait for him for too long at the dining table.

"You made a feast today," Lucas said as he draped his towel around his shoulders. Since winter started, Lucas reduced the number of times he walked around shirtless and would mostly be seen with a robe whenever he was in the house.

"Mmh, I was in the mood for cooking," Jen answered and sat next to him rather than across from him like she normally did. Lucas turned his head to look at her curiously as he wondered about the sudden change, but then he decided that he wouldn't comment much on it. Jen took over the table and served both of them food before prompting Lucas to eat.

Lucas briefly looked at her before picking up his fork and digging into his food. Jen didn't start eating, but rather, she chose to look at Lucas who was enjoying his meal with a smile on her face.

"Why aren't you eating?" Lucas asked once he swallowed his food.

"I feel full just watching you eat," Jen said as she placed her chin on her hand so she could look at him better. Lucas raised an eyebrow before remembering that she had been drinking.

"How was your day?" Lucas asked after deciding that he would fill his stomach first before bantering with Jen. Jen then freely talked about what had happened with the girls when they met at the café earlier.

"They kept saying that I was taking you back home to introduce you to my family," Jen said with a giggled as she had another mouthful of food.

"Aren't you going to introduce me?" Lucas asked, finally putting in some words after a few minutes of quietly listening.

Jen looked at him with surprise, but she couldn't say anything because she had food in her mouth. Lucas finished his water before smiling at Jen's stunned expression. He couldn't help but think she looked cute with her cheeks puffed out from the food she had in her mouth.

Lucas stood up from his seat, and Jen caught his robe in her hand before he could leave. He turned to look at her and noticed that she was trying to chew her food.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'll be back," Lucas said before bending down and leaving a peck on her lips. Jen released his robed and watched as Lucas walked towards the kitchen before turning back to pay attention to her food.

Lucas sat down next to her shortly after with a cup of tea and slowly sipped on it as he watched her eat. Jen glanced at him as she was eating and her eyes curved as she smiled at him, making Lucas smile back at her.

"What is it?" Lucas asked as he was curious about what she had been thinking about since she was smiling so brightly.

"I really have good eyes," Jen said as she washed down her food with wine.

"Mmh?" Lucas said as he raised an eyebrow in question.

"How can you be so handsome?" Jen asked as she supported her chin with her hand once more so she could look at him properly. Lucas smiled at how brazen she was being, and Jen smiled back as she was just rewarded with a dimpled smile.

"You- Just finish your meal," Lucas said and cleared his throat before picking up his tea.

"Are you feeling shy?" Jen asked as she tried to look at him from around the cup that was close to his face. She noticed that the tips of his ears had gotten slightly red so she couldn't help it but tease him a bit more.

Lucas gave her a side glance before placing his cup back on the table before clearing his throat again. Jen reached out and touched his slightly damp hair that was hanging over his face.

"Miss Larson," Lucas said, his eyes playful but his voice carrying warning. Jen blinked up at him innocently, as if she was unaware that she was provoking him. She reached out for his hair again and this time, Lucas caught her arm before dragging her out of her chair and onto his lap. 

"I was planning on letting you finish your meal first, but it looks like you are hungry for something else," Lucas said as he pushed her hair back so it was hanging down her back.

"Something else? What could that be?" Jen asked as if she didn't know what he was talking about. Lucas smiled once more when he saw that she had decided to maintain her clueless act.

"Are you done eating?" Lucas asked as he trailed a finger down the side of her neck, his eyes following the path that his finger took. Jen shivered involuntarily, breaking Lucas' attention so he was looking at her face.

"Yeah, I'm very full now," Jen answered as she patted her still flat stomach.

"That's good," Lucas said and pulled her even closer to him forcing her to place her hands on his shoulders. They locked gazes for a few seconds, but Lucas did not kiss her like she was expecting. Instead, his eyes were drawn to her exposed shoulder.

The shirt she was wearing was too big for her so it slipped down one of her arms exposing her shoulder and collarbone. Lucas went on to kiss the area where her neck and shoulder met and Jen adjusted her position so it was easier for Lucas to do so.

Lucas kissed, nibbled and licked her exposed skin as his hands slipped under her shirt, touching her bare skin. Jen could only sigh contentedly as she really liked what he was doing to her.

"So tell me," Lucas said as he trailed kisses up her neck while his thumb stroked one of the erect nipples under her shirt.

"Mmh?" Jen asked in a daze as she combed her fingers through his hair. She silently wondered why he was picking such a time to talk to her. She couldn't muster the ability to speak at the moment.

"Weren't you going to introduce me to your family?" Lucas asked as he pulled away from her neck to look at her. Jen blinked twice before nodding. She was planning on introducing Lucas to her family. She thought that even if she can't get along with her mother, he should at least meet her siblings.

"Really?" Lucas asked with raised eyebrows before receiving another nod from Jen. He then smiled brightly before pulling her down for a kiss on the lips this time. Jen enthusiastically responded to it, so it did not take long for Lucas to carry Jen from the dining table to make way to their room.

After a round of passionate lovemaking, the two of them lay next to each other, with Lucas holding Jen against him as she rested her upper body on his naked chest.

"I talked to my father today," Lucas said and paused, waiting for Jen to pay attention to him. Jen lifted her face to look at him in question.

"What did he say?" Jen asked as she used her palm to rub a hickey she had left on his shoulder.

"He approved my leave to come with you," Lucas said with a smile.

"Really? So when do we go?" Jen asked with an excited expression.

"The week after next should be good because I must get things in order in the office before I leave," Lucas said as he leisurely stroked her naked back with his fingers.

"That's great news! I should tell Alex," Jen said and made to get up from the bed.

"It's already so late, she is probably asleep," Lucas reminded and Jen laid back down with a pout.

"But if you want something to do, I can definitely keep you busy for a few hours," Lucas said as he switched their positions so Jen was lying on her back. She looked up at him in surprise before smiling.

"Is that so?" Jen asked playfully as she brought up her hands and placed them around his neck.

"Mm-hmm," Lucas said with a mischievous smile before bringing his lips down on hers.
