Convincing her

Lucas was going to work late, so he sent Jen back home after finishing his lunch. He did not want to let her stay over for a long time, just to tire her out for no reason.

Jen stopped by the supermarket before going back home. She wanted to make dinner for him but also wanted to make some desserts as she was craving sweets today. When she got home, she started making some pastries. She wanted them to last a few more days so that she could have them whenever she craved them.

Jen kept herself busy and only stopped working in the kitchen when her phone started ringing. She quickly wiped her hands and picked up her phone, putting it on speaker.

"Girl! Did you forget us because you are getting married now?" Laura's voice sounded throughout the house. Jen, who had resumed cooking, paused her movements to stare incredulously at her phone.

"Can't you start a call as normal people do?" Jen asked, sounding calm, but a smile was on her face. Her sweets were already cooling down, and she had already started working on dinner.

"I can, we missed you, girl! We'll be coming over on Thursday! We must throw you a bachelorette party!" Laura continued sounding like she was going to be the protagonist that day. Jen couldn't imagine how it would be like when it was finally her turn.

"Is that so?" she asked with a laugh. Now that she was hearing from her friends, she finally realised just how much she actually missed them.

"You bet! This time we'll get to see the strippers from Country M, I can't wait!" Laura said, and Jen couldn't stop herself from laughing.

"Is that so?" Lucas's voice sounded from the living room, startling both Jen and the enthusiastic callers into silence.

"You're back," Jen responded with a smile as she watched him put his briefcase on the coffee table before he approached her in the kitchen.

"Mmmh, you were so distracted you didn't even hear me come in," Lucas said as he hugged her waist from behind.

"You go wash up first. Dinner is almost ready," Jen said as he buried his face in the crook of her neck. Lucas almost laughed at her bad attempt at distracting him. He lightly nipped at the soft skin, making her shiver in response.

"I would do that, except I heard something about seeing a bunch of strippers," Lucas said, and Jen kept quiet. Her friends can't say she did not try to distract him. If anything, she had to try to not give away the fact that he was doing something to her, otherwise she would be teased to death by Laura.

"You must have heard wrong," Laura chimed in in a timely fashion.

"I doubt that," Lucas said with a raised eyebrow. Jen knew not to interfere. It looked like Laura had decided to deny everything. When she was like this, she wouldn't admit to anything even if you pointed a gun at her head.

"I also didn't hear anything about strippers," Rachel said in support, and Lucas bent to whisper something in Jen's ear that made her cheeks flushed.

"Fine, I'M the one who heard wrong, have a nice chat girls," Lucas said as he left for the bedroom. It was only after the door closed behind him did Jen continue talking to the girls.

"He wouldn't stop you from going out with us right?" Laura asked, making Jen laugh helplessly.

"As long as it's not you, he shouldn't be worried," Jen teased and Laura scoffed. She was the life of the party. If she wasn't around, they would be bored out of their minds.

"Is Leanna going to come with the baby?" Jen asked, and the other girls all laughed.

"I'll come with my baby boy," Leanna, who was carrying her son, replied. She had recovered a lot, enough to start going out, but Ethan, the overprotective husband, has insisted on her staying home until she's fully recovered. This meant that if the group of friends wanted to meet, they all had to gather at Leanna and Ethan's home. Unfortunately, the wedding has come up and they have to travel now.

"I can't wait to see him again," Jen said as she remembered the cute child that always smelled of milk. She couldn't help but think of the child she was expecting and if they would be just as cute.

The girls continued to chat for a while, and soon the call ended. They were all excited about her wedding and had even gone a step further to go shopping for bridesmaids' dresses.

Jen was doing the dishes as she waited for the food in the oven to be ready when Lucas walked out of the bedroom.

"I'll help you with this," Lucas said as he left the slightly damp towel on his head as he took over the sink.

"Did you get to rest?" he asked as he glanced at her.

"I wasn't tired," Jen said as she leaned on the kitchen counter while resting her chin on her hand just so she could have a better view of Lucas.

"Don't overwork yourself I don't want you tired," Lucas said as he dried his hands and took her in his arms.

"I had nothing to do, anyway. I wanted to cook so you can have your fill once you come home," Jen said as she rested her hands on his bare chest.

"Oh, I'll definitely have my fill today," Lucas said with a mischievous smile, and Jen's cheeks reddened in response. She couldn't help but remember what he had whispered to her earlier. If she wanted to carry through with his suggestion, she would have to go shopping the next day. She felt embarrassed just thinking about it.

"Dinner is almost done, don't fool around," Jen said in response, but she didn't even bother making a move to separate herself from him.

"I haven't gotten my kiss yet," Lucas while inwardly smiling. His girl is getting better at flirting with him.

"After dinner," she said with a naughty smile that was completely erased when Lucas leaned over to kiss her lips. She completely let go of herself and let him take control of the kiss. AS expected, it did not take long for the kiss to get more and more intense.

Lucas's tongue moved in and out of her mouth, coaxing her to respond more aggressively. Jen, who wrapped her arms around the back of his neck and pressed her body against his, responded enthusiastically to him.

At this point, Lucas's hands had already slipped beneath her shirt and were teasing the sensitive skin of her waist. It was at this time the timer on the oven went off, startling the couple into stopping what they were doing.

"We'll continue this later," Lucas said after they both managed to calm their breaths. Jen could only laugh as she opened the oven and bent over to take the food out. Lucas looked at her behind with a faint smile and made a silent promise to really continue later.
