Convincing her

Jen managed to meet many new people at the party, and she was in a very jolly mood. As she was chatting with her new friends, her phone suddenly rang. She opened her clutch and took out her phone to see Alex's name flash on her screen.

"I'm going to take a call, excuse me," Jen said and as she separated herself from the crowd. Lucas looked at where she was headed and only looked away once she stopped at an isolated corner that wasn't as noisy.

"Hello?" Jen said once she picked up the phone.

"Sis, I'm at the hotel already," Alex said.

"Hotel?" Jen asked, feeling puzzled.

"I came to the city today, we're working with L. L Hotels. Have you forgotten already?" Alex asked. After hearing her words, Jen's eyes shone with surprise.

"Right, let me talk to Lucas first," Jen said and her eyes immediately caught Lucas' she waved him over and he excused himself before going over to her.

"What is it?" Lucas asked once he was standing in front of her.

"Alex is at the hotel-" Jen said.

"Oh right, she was coming today, Michael should have already made arrangements for her," Lucas said, and Jen felt bad that she had forgotten about Alex coming.

"Did he?" Jen asked.

"Definitely, are you talking to her now?" Lucas asked as he looked at the phone on her hands that still showed that the call was still ongoing.

"You should really listen to me, ah," Alex said in exasperation.

"Eh?" Jen asked in confusion.

"I was just telling you I'm at the hotel, Michael picked me up from the airport and brought me over already," Alex explained. Jen then bit her lip and looked at Lucas sheepishly. She had thought that Alex was lost and didn't know where to go once she had arrived.

"Ooh," Jen remarked, but didn't know what to say afterwards. She had been rash.

"Anyway, I heard you were at a rehearsal dinner. I'm so tired that I'll probably be sleeping by the time you return so I'll see you tomorrow," Alex continued.

"Oh, okay," Jen said as she looked at Lucas apologetically.

"Goodnight, and have fun, say hi to Lucas for me," Alex said from the other side.

"I will, and goodnight to you too," Jen said before hanging up. She pursed her lips together as she looked up at Lucas.

"Michael took her to the hotel, right?" Lucas asked as he leaned against the wall and crossed his hands in front of his chest.

"Yes, he did," Jen said with a nod as she put her phone back in her clutch.

"Is your sister settled down?" Lucas asked

"It seems so," Jen replied and looked up at Lucas once she closed it. Lucas then stretched out his hand and caught her arm and pulled her towards him. 

"So you called me for?" Lucas asked as he held both her hands.

"I thought she was stranded," Jen said, and Lucas nodded in understanding.

"Are you sure it wasn't because you wanted a moment alone?" Lucas asked as he raised his hand and touched the side of her face with his fingertips.

"Stop fooling around," Jen said and held his forearm but didn't push his arm away and let him touch her face. His fingers trailed down to her neck, to the back of her ear. The grip Jen had on his hand became firmer and he smiled flirtatiously in response.

"Let's go back," Jen said. She was being tempted to do something inappropriate, so she needed to leave that secluded area as soon as possible or she was going to be tempted by him.

"Sure," Lucas said and naturally walked forward while holding her slim waist.

"We'll continue this later," Lucas said, and Jen vigorously shook her head to say no.

"No continuation until after the wedding," Jen said in response. She did not want to go to the wedding with hickeys, and tomorrow there was a bachelorette party with the girls, she needed to be well-rested over these few days otherwise she won't look good on the photos.

Lucas glanced at her while thinking about how he was going to persuade her otherwise. The two of them walked like that and reintegrated themselves back into the crowd.

Shortly afterwards, they all had dinner and there was a dance that didn't last for too long since Ethan insisted that Leanna was tired and he wanted to leave with her. He didn't want her to be too stressed out since she was still in her first trimester.

After they said their goodbyes the party continued for a while later before people started dispersing little by little. 

By the time Jen and Lucas got home, it was already past midnight. The first thing she did the moment she got home was to remove her shoes. She then heavily leaned against Lucas, who was behind her.

"I'm so tired," Jen mock cried, making Lucas laugh in amusement. He held her waist and half carried and half dragged her towards the stairs.

"Let's go to bed," Lucas said, and before Jen could mentally prepare herself, she felt herself go airborne. She quickly held on to his shoulders as his sudden action startled her.

She rested her head against his chest and let out a relaxed sigh while closing her eyes contentedly. She helped open the bedroom door once they were in front of their room and he carried her in. Rather than place her on the bed, he directly sat down on it so she was on his lap.

His hand moved from under her knees to surround her waist so she won't slip and fall off of him. Jen curled and uncurled her toes as she tried to get blood to circulate in her feet since she had been in heels for hours.

"Do you still have to get up early tomorrow?" Jen asked as she absentmindedly stared at her feet.

"I do," Lucas said and checked for the time. 

"I'll make breakfast for you then, I don't have classes tomorrow," Jen said and looked up at him.

"Okay," he agreed and bent lower to kiss her lips. Jen closed her eyes and readily accepted his kiss while tangling her fingers in his hair. Lucas could taste the wine on her lips and tongue and felt intoxicated by the kiss.

Feeling her shiver when his tongue stroked the roof of her mouth made him smile. Jen unconsciously let out a barely audible moan when Lucas lightly nipped on her bottom lip and even poke out her tongue to tease him back. He was tempted to push her down, but then remembered what she had said at the rehearsal and held himself back and settled for just kissing.

"Go wash up," Lucas said after letting her go. He patted her butt twice when he saw she was being unresponsive.

"Oh, okay," Jen said and kissed his chin before gathering herself and getting off of his lap and going to the bathroom.

When they had both washed up the two were laying in bed with Lucas spooning her from behind. Jen felt his fingers brush against her stomach, making small circles.

"How was it today?" Jen asked in a low voice.

"It's been a while for me. I had fun," Lucas answered, his warm breath tickling her ear.

"Tomorrow is the bachelor party," Jen said, and stayed silent to listen to what he would say.

"Mhh, it'll be my first," Lucas answered and his hand moved up to cup her soft flesh and smiled when he felt her stiffen against him. He wasn't planning on doing anything, and his action was actually quite impulsive.

He knew she wouldn't mind since they have woken up like this quite a few times already unless they are sleeping while facing each other, then he would be holding another soft area of her body.

"You have to restrain yourselves," Jen said as she briefly glanced at the hand that was holding her breast. If she said anything about his actions, she knew he'll get more aggressive and she'll be coerced into doing it with him.

"You should restrain yourselves too," Lucas said as he got comfortable. He squeezed the flesh in his hand and whispered goodnight to her.

"Goodnight," Jen responded and held the arm that was fondling her before she too gradually fell asleep.
