We tiptoed out of her room together and Lucas quietly pulled the door shut behind us. He gestured to me to follow him and he led me to a room a couple of doors down. Opening it, he revealed a simply furnished bedroom.
“This is where you’ll sleep tonight. Unless…”
“Unless what?”
“You could stay in my room if you prefer.”
He looked at me, trying to keep his expression neutral, but he was unable to keep the hope out of his eyes.
I could feel my heart pounding so hard I thought it might burst, but my tone was light when I replied.
“I’d like to stay with you.”
Without Amber around, there was no need for Lucas to hide his leer as he reached out for my hand. I gripped his hand tightly as he took me away from the spare room and into the room at the end of the hall. He turned to me before he opened the door.
“Are you sure about this? I don’t want you to feel pressured into anything or like I’m taking advantage of you.”
“Lucas, I might have had a couple of glasses of wine, but I’m hardly drunk. You’re not taking advantage of anyone. Now shut up and kiss me before I change my mind.”
Lucas growled and pulled me to him, kissing me hungrily like he hadn’t been with a woman for years. I didn’t know whether that was true or not, but it had been a long time for me and the sensation of a man’s arms around me fulfilled a need I’d forgotten I had.
Lucas fumbled at the door handle, pushing the door to his bedroom open. We made our way into the room together, still kissing as Lucas kicked the door shut behind him. I let him take the lead as we made our way across the room, clumsily heading towards the bed, our legs tangling with each other.
I yelped as he pushed me onto the bed, giggling as I lay there.
“You have no idea how long I’ve imagined this moment,” he told me as he pulled off his shirt. I propped myself up on my elbows so I could enjoy a better view. Damn, he looked amazing. He’d clearly spent many hours in the gym and the past few years had seen him bulk out in a good way. I could feel myself clenching with the memory of our night together. In this moment, I didn’t care about the future. Maybe this was the biggest mistake of my life, but I deserved this. I needed some happiness, the reassurance of a man’s body next to mine.
I needed Lucas.
“Take the rest of your clothes off,” I told him. Lucas grinned, and started to quickly undo his trousers. “Slowly. I want to enjoy the view.”
Lucas gave me that look, the one which had got me into trouble all those years ago. He turned his back on me and looked over his shoulder as he unzipped his fly. He wriggled his butt a bit and shimmied out of his trousers to reveal buttocks closely hugged by his briefs. Tucking his hands into the waistband of his pants, he pulled them down a little to tease me with a glimpse of more before pulling them back up. He turned round to face me again and this time, he pulled them all the way down, stepping out of his pants and kicking them across the room.
He stood in front of me, his impressive cock standing to attention. I knew he was well endowed, but I’d forgotten just how big he was and I licked my lips in anticipation of the pleasure to come.
“Come here.” I reached out to him and he tumbled on top of me, the pair of us lying on the bed, kissing passionately. The feel of his naked body against me while I was still fully clothed was such a turn on. I knew what was coming and my body was crying out for him to love every inch of me. it had been too long since I’d been with a man, let alone someone like Lucas who knew exactly how to please a woman.
“I think I should get a condom, don’t you?” Lucas asked when we eventually broke apart.
“Yeah, that’s a good idea.”
He reached over to his bedside cabinet. Pulling open the drawer, he retrieved a condom and quickly slipped it on. I started to unbutton my blouse, but Lucas reached out to stop me.
“Not just yet,” he said. “Let’s have some fun first.”
He helped me up and we stood facing each other gazing into each other’s eyes. Lucas’s expression was pure sex and the way he was devouring me with his eyes, I knew I was going to have a great time.
Suddenly, Lucas spun me round and pushed me forward so that I was leaning over the bed. He reached round me and undid my jeans. He pulled them down just enough to give him access to me, and he rammed into me. Leaving my jeans on meant that my movements were limited and all I could do was arch my back, angling myself towards him so that he hit me at the perfect angle to make me scream.
“You are amazing, Milly.” He gasped and I could feel his cock throbbing, pulsing in that way he did right before orgasm.
I moaned, my cries mingling with his as he exploded into me before collapsing onto my back.
He lay there panting, unable to speak as he recovered from what was clearly a huge orgasm.
“I’m so sorry, Mills,” he said at last, gently stroking my head, running his hand down my hair and down my back in a loving gesture. “I wanted to make it last, but it’s been a while since I’ve been with anyone and you’re just so damned sexy.”
I was surprised to hear he hadn’t had sex for a while. The Lucas I’d known had never been without a woman for long. After his marriage to Ivy was annulled, he’d worked his way through a number of women before leaving King Town, leaving a string of broken hearts in his wake. I’d assumed he’d continued to do that, so it was a revelation to hear he’d tamed his ways a little.
“Don’t worry. You’ve got the rest of the night to make it up to me,” I told him, glancing over my shoulder at him.
“I will. Believe me, I will,” Lucas promised, as he pulled out of me. “The night is still young and I’ve got plenty of stamina. I’m just going to clean up a bit. Make yourself comfortable and I’ll be right with you.”
He dropped a quick kiss on the top of my head and padded off to the ensuite to get rid of the used condom. I heard water running as I pulled off my jeans. I undid my blouse and lay back on the bed, almost naked, as I artfully arranged my blouse so it covered my breasts but revealed enough of my body to titillate.
I put my hand between my legs, lightly playing with myself to stay turned on until Lucas came back. I was so wet, the lightest touch sent jolts of electricity through my body.
That was the effect Lucas had on me.
I wouldn’t feel brave enough to lie there, touching myself in front of anyone, but he made me want to push my limits, explore the edges of my sexuality and beyond. This couldn’t be just another one-night stand. It just couldn’t.
“Well, hello there.”
I turned my head to see Lucas coming out of the bathroom, fully erect again as he walked towards me.
“This is a sight for sore eyes.” Lucas came round to stand at the bottom of the bed. I writhed a little, smiling as I opened my legs further, knowing how erotic I must look wearing my unbuttoned blouse and nothing else. “I think it’s your turn to enjoy yourself.”
Lucas knelt down, grabbing hold of my legs and pulling me to him so he could bury his face in my sex. He put his arms around my thighs, holding me in place as his tongue flicked out and cover my clit. I cried out, the pleasure almost too much to bear. I felt like I was too turned on to come, that I was going to go insane before I would get my release.
I reached down and gripped a handful of his hair, holding him against me as his tongue continued to work its magic. Sometimes he used the flat of his tongue to run all the way over me from bottom to top in slow, confident movements. Other times he used the tip to flit about, tracing little circles around my clit or teasing the tip, making it dance. I was completely lost, so out of my mind that I was caught my surprise when an orgasm ripped through my body. I practically screamed while Lucas continued to go down on me, wringing every drop of ecstasy out of me.
At last he broke away, a smug grin plastered across his face. “I love it when you react like that,” he said. “I think we need to do it again.”
“Are you kidding me?” I pret
ended to be horrified, but inwardly, I was delighted at the thought that Lucas wasn’t anywhere near finished with me.
He walked over to the bedside cabinet to get another condom. As he put it on, I lay back on the bed, ready for another round of pleasure.
“Hmmm.” Lucas frowned. “I think it’s your turn to be in charge, don’t you?”
He came and lay down next to me and gestured to me to climb on top. I didn’t need to be asked a second time and I mounted him, grabbing his cock and guiding it inside me. It was a good thing I was so wet because he stretched me almost to where he was too big for me to cope. Girth was not the word and he was happy to let me sit there, adjusting to the sensation of a huge cock deep inside me.
After a while, lust took over and I started to rock forwards and backwards, subtle movements having a big impact as Lucas’s cock hit me in all the right places. He was more than happy to lie back and let me take charge and he gripped my thighs with his hands, letting me decide the pace.
I leaned forward, my breasts right in front of his face. He let go of my thighs and fondled my tits, taking one of my nipples in his mouth with his hand played with the other one.
He started to thrust his hips to match my movements, closing his eyes to savour the moment. We fit together so perfectly and I loved the satisfied look on his face as we became more urgent in our movements.
I sat up, feeling the need to give Lucas the ability to fuck me deeper. I bounced up and down on him, my body welcoming in every inch of his beautiful cock as it hit my G spot over and over.
It was incredible, the sex the best I’d ever had as I started to come, losing myself in multiple orgasms so intense I could barely tell when one ended and another one started.
I could feel my pussy clenching his cock tightly and he clutched at my thighs as he finally came with me, the pair of us crying out in release.
At last, we were done and our bodies slowed and stopped. I was still panting as I ran a finger down his chest, not having the words to express how I felt, but knowing that I needed to make some kind of gesture to show him how much I appreciated what we’d just done.
“Was that okay?” Lucas asked.
“Meh.” I shrugged, looking away nonchalantly. “It was okay.”
“Is that right?” I squealed as Lucas grabbed me and we rolled over so that I was lying underneath him. “I suppose I’ll have to try harder then.”
“If you must,” I murmured. Lucas leaned forward to kiss me and I knew I wasn’t going to get much sleep that night…
Chapter Eighty
“Mummy! Where are you, Mummy?”
I was jolted awake by a panicked screaming. For a moment, I was as disoriented as Amber sounded, the sensation of waking up in someone’s arms so alien I wasn’t sure I wasn’t still dreaming.
“What is it?” Lucas sounded half asleep, as I leaped out of bed and hurried pulled on my clothes.
“Amber needs me,” I said. “You stay there. I’ll deal with her.”
I ran out of the room and down the hallway to where Amber was standing outside her room, rubbing her eyes and looking for me.
“What’s wrong, darling?” I asked anxiously. “What’s happened?”
“I thought I saw a spider in my bed.”
“You know that Daddy is very good at dealing with spiders,” I said, my heart sinking at the thought of having to hide my arachnophobia for long enough to rescue Amber from an eight-legged beast. All those years as a single parent meant that I’d learned to suck up my fear so Amber wouldn’t see how much I hated spiders in the hope that she wouldn’t be as scared of them as I was, but she’d still developed a phobia about them but didn’t realise that it was just as hard for me to deal with them.
“But Daddy isn’t the one who puts spiders outside. You are.”
“Come on, then.” I sighed. “Show me where this spider is and I’ll tell it to stay out of your room.”
I took her hand and she pulled me into her room. “It’s over there.” She pointed at the wall by her bed. I took a deep breath and went closer to see if I could spot it.
“Sorry, darling. There’s nothing there,” I said at last. “I think you must have scared it away with all your screaming.”
“Is everything all right?” Lucas came into the room.
“There was a spider, Daddy,” Amber told him. “It was going to eat me up!”
“Really? It must have been a big spider.”
“It was huge!”
“Let’s go get some breakfast and you can tell me all about it.”
Amber and Lucas went downstairs. As I went to follow them, a huge, hairy creature skittered across the floor. I bit back a scream and fled. We were in Lucas’s house. It was his problem to deal with it.
“I didn’t know what you liked for breakfast, so I got a whole heap of things for you to choose from.”
I walked into the kitchen to find Lucas opening up cupboards to show Amber a dizzying array of cereals, including her favourite – chocolate Cheerios. Soon she was happily munching on a large bowl piled high with chocolate cereal. I dreaded to think about what she was going to be like when the sugar rush kicked in.
“What would you like to eat?” Lucas asked me.
“Just coffee for me, thanks. I can’t face food this early in the morning.”
Lucas went to his coffeemaker and switched it on.
“I’ve been thinking,” he said. “I’d like to take Amber out today, maybe over to King’s Castle.”
“King’s Castle?” Amber gasped when she heard the name of a local farm zoo. As well as a number of animals you could pet, there were fairground rides suitable for small children and a boating lake you could ride paddle boats on. “Yay!” She started jogging up and down in her seat.
Yep. The sugar was kicking in. King’s Castle was probably a good move. It was about the only she was going to be able to work it all off.
“You’d be very welcome to join us, but I was wondering how you’d feel about me taking her by myself?”
Lucas’s suggestion threw me. After our night together, I’d thought he’d want to spend more time with me. I know he’d said he was inviting me as well, but he didn’t seem like he wanted me there.
Fine. If he wanted to play games, he’d could play them all on his lonesome.
“Sure. You and Amber need some quality time together and it would be nice to have a bit of a break.”
“That’s what I thought,” Lucas said. “I mean, you work hard all week. You deserve the chance to put your feet up and not have to worry about Amber for a few hours.”
“Sounds great.” I faked a happiness I didn’t feel, but Lucas didn’t seem to notice.
“Excellent! I’ll drop you off at yours on the way to Kings Castle.”
“Actually, could you take me to Ivy’s?”
Lucas frowned a little, but quickly recovered. If he didn’t think I was going to want to talk to my best friend after last night, he was an idiot.
“No problem.”
We spent the next hour or so playing happy families. Anyone watching us would have thought we were a perfectly normal family. At least Amber certainly thought her parents were getting on like a house on fire, which was a testament to my acting abilities.
Inwardly, I was a mess. Lucas seemed to be behaving like nothing had happened between us and it was driving me crazy. How could he just write off a night like that as not worth talking about?
By the time we were ready to leave, I couldn’t wait to get out of there. If Lucas wanted to play things cool, he was going to discover I could be ice cold.
Chapter Eighty-One
“Is everything okay?” Lucas asked as we pulled up outside Ivy’s house.
“Absolutely peachy,” I said, getting out of the car.
“Milly? What’s wrong? You’ve barely said a word all morning.”
“You be a good girl for Daddy.” I ignored Lucas as I went round to the back of the car and opened the door so I could give Amber a k
iss goodbye.
“I will,” Amber promised, her eyes wide and serious.
“We’re going to have a lot of fun together, aren’t we, Amber?” Lucas said.
“Yay!” Amber kicked her feet against the car seat and I slammed the car door shut. I blew a kiss at the car and waved as Lucas drive off.
The vindictive side of me hoped that Amber was an absolute nightmare in the way that only an annoying four-year-old could be, but I had a feeling she was going to be a little angel for her beloved Daddy.
It just wasn’t fair.
I knocked on Ivy’s door.
“Milly!” My best friend opened the door and was surprised to see me standing there.
“Hey, Ivy. It’s not a bad time is it? I can go home if you want me to. Well, you’ll have to let me borrow a car, but I can leave if you’ve got something else on.
“Of course not. Don’t be silly. Come in, come in.” She ushered me inside. “What’s wrong? Where’s Amber?”
“I agreed to let Lucas have her for the day,” I said.
“So it’s going well with him then?”
I looked at her. “I think I’ve made a big mistake.”
“Let’s go to the conservatory and we can talk about it.” She raised her voice. “Romy! Can you deal with Louis for me? Ivy’s here.”
“Sure!” Romy, one of Ivy’s partners, called back from somewhere in the house.
“You look like you need tea,” Ivy observed. “Or something stronger. Do you want something stronger?”
“I want it but I don’t think it’ll be a good idea,” I told her. “I’d probably end up crying into my glass.”
“That bad, huh?”
“You have no idea.”
We went through to the conservatory and Ivy picked up the intercom to order some tea from the kitchen. Soon there was a tray of tea things on the table while Ivy and I sat in chairs with incredible views over the Archaic estate.
“Do you want to tell me what’s up?” Ivy asked. “Actually, don’t. Let me guess. You slept with Lucas.”
