“We will talk about this, but right now, which way to the bedroom?” His eyes were filled with desire again.
“Down the hall, to the right.” I grinned.
Chapter 20 – Lucas
I carried her to the bedroom. Even though I wanted to push the issue about the scars, I could see in her eyes that it was something that she didn’t want to talk about. However, that was something that I wouldn’t forget.
I laid her on the bed and kissed her, running my hands up her thighs until I reached the buttons on her pants. I couldn’t catch my breath as I undid them. Her eyes were filled with desire and she was all I could think about. I was never nervous with a girl before, but I wanted everything to be perfect for her. Sara slightly moaned as I slid her pants down. She grabbed my belt, biting her lip as she undid mine and pulled the zipper down.
Yep, this is how I am going to die.
That was my last coherent thought; we both were lighting fast to undress each other. We stared at each other naked; I was already panting to the point that I was about to hyperventilate. I had never seen anyone so beautiful. She had an amazing body, filled out in the right places. Sara finally made the first move, and began to stroke me.
I am not going to last long if she keeps this up.
A groan escaped my throat. Her confident, precise strokes were killing me in a good way.
“Sara,” I croaked out.
“Lucas,” she breathed back.
I traced her breast with my fingers and slightly pinched her nipple. She hissed through her teeth.
God, I love that sound.
I lightly touched her as I made my way down her stomach. Her body was so soft. I could feel the heat coming off of her as I placed two fingers inside her. My thumb quickly began working on her clit. I thought I would explode right there when Sara arched her back and moaned out loud.
Man, she is the most beautiful woman.
I could feel her tighten around my fingers already, but I didn’t want to her to come just yet. I wanted to be in her when she did. I wanted to feel her on me. As I withdrew my fingers, I heard her whine softly, which made me smile.
“I’m just getting a condom, beautiful.” I kissed her lips gently. The streetlights had illuminated the bedroom slightly. I could see her face had flushed, her eyes full of love, and desire. Her curly hair sprayed all over the pillow. I grabbed the condom from my discarded pants next to the bed on the floor. I quickly opened it and rolled it on, then turned back to Sara.
Yea I am not going to last long.
I eased back onto the bed in between Sara’s legs. I could feel my heart pounding so loud that it felt like it was in my ears.
“Lucas, please,” she begged. Her voice was husky and sexy as hell. My body took over for my mind. I eased myself into her and released the breath that I hadn’t realized I had been holding. She was so wet and tight; I trembled at our perfect fit. She raised her hips against me, taking me deeper. Her nails dug into my back, but I didn’t care. All I knew was that I wanted more of her and I wanted her now.
“Lucas, harder.”
That was all it took for me. I pushed into her harder and faster. Her legs wrapped tighter around me, her nails dug into my back deeper, her hot breath against my lips. It wasn’t long before I could feel her getting tighter around me. Her moaning and panting became louder, like music to my ears. It was when she arched further back that I felt her explode around me.
Her body was trembling as I thrust into her a few more times. I could feel myself release; it was the greatest sensation because I was with her. Neither of us said anything as I remained on top and stared at her. After my breathing returned to normal, I rolled over onto my back. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Sara roll over on her side. I looked over to her and saw a wide smile on her face.
“I’m definitely going to be sore in the morning,” she giggled.
“Yea but it’s a good kind of sore.” I smiled back at her.
“You are right about that, Captain Sharp.” Her hair was a curly mess yet she was as stunning as I had ever seen.
I gave her a quick kiss as I got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom to clean up. When I came back, Sara wasn’t there. I slipped on my boxer shorts and headed to find her. She was standing in the kitchen in a night shirt, holding a glass of water and staring out the window. She looked like she was in deep thought a million miles away.
“Hey beautiful, you okay?” I asked her quietly but she still jumped. She looked back at me with the most amazing smile on her face.
“I am perfect.”
“Let’s go back to bed.” I reached for her hand. Together, hand in hand, we walked back to the bedroom and crawled into bed. I laid on my back and she snuggled into my side, to curl up next to me.
“May I ask you a question?” Sara looked up at me and asked quietly.
“Of course.”
“Why haven’t you had a girlfriend for so long?”
I cleared my throat, knowing my answer could make me sound like a huge dork. “Well, I have been so focused on hockey I haven’t really had the time for a girlfriend. Even in the off season, I have been so busy. I guess that is the best way to explain it.”
“I was just wondering. You seem so perfect, in every way that some girl should have snatched you up by now.”
I laughed. “Nah, no girl has, yet. Sure I have been with girls and had relationships but nothing serious,” I shrugged. “Okay, my turn. I know that you got out of a long relationship, was it serious?”
I could see that she was thinking about her answer. She sounded sad when she said, “I thought it was, but in the end it was not. “
“Are you going to tell me about the scars?” I wanted her to tell me so badly. I couldn’t imagine someone hurting her. My protective side just wanted to kill the person who did.
“Please, Lucas, not tonight. I don’t want anything to ruin tonight.”
“Sara, I am just concerned-.”
She put her hand over my mouth.
“They don’t hurt and I don’t want to ruin the most perfect evening of my life. Please.” I nodded and she removed her hand.
“You will have to tell me. I won’t push the issues, promise, but you will have to let me in,” I gently rubbed my hand around her jaw. I noticed that those scars didn’t look as bad as those on her stomach.
“Thank you.” She kissed my lips and then curled up to my side.
I didn’t even realize we had fallen asleep until my phone alarm began to chime. I sat up to shut off the alarm, looking over to see Sara begin to stir. Her massive curly hair was everywhere, but she looked peaceful.
“I don’t want to move.” Her sleepy voice was so sexy.
I laughed. “Well, I don’t either.” I stroked her face with the back of my hand. I rolled out of the bed and headed to the bathroom. I hadn’t planned on staying all night and was a little unprepared. I washed my face and found Sara’s mouthwash, then looked in the mirror and realized I had a teenage grin on my face. I hadn’t felt this relaxed or happy in a long time, without being on the ice.
I walked out of the bathroom and Sara quickly ran in. I laughed as I went into the bedroom to get dressed. I knew that I would have to get home soon and get ready for practice today. As I finished getting dressed, Sara walked out of the bathroom. She looked beautiful in her white nightgown. It wasn’t overly sexy, but was just sheer enough for me to feel a twitch in my pants. She walked right up to me and wrapped her arms around my middle.
“Hey beautiful,” I kissed the top of her head.
“I don’t want to go to work,” she said sadly.
“Well, for the first time in a very long time, I don’t want to either.” She looked up to me with her pouty lips, and I couldn’t help but her.
“How about I text you after practice?” My lips were still tingling from our kiss.
“Deal.” She smiled up at me.
Coach D was hard on us during practice, harder on me today because I was a little b
it late. I had to go home, shower, change, and grab my gear this morning. I sat on my bench in front of the locker because my legs were burning. The whole team was exhausted but still chatting.
I got up, turned around and took off my pads and my shirt when I heard Max exclaim, “Holy shit, Sharp!”
“What?” I turned back to him.
“You must have had some serious fun last night.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You have some serious claw marks on your back,” Marc chimed in.
“Oh yeah.” I had forgotten about those. When I was in the shower this morning I felt them. They really didn’t hurt but they were sore. And well worth it.
“Must have been a real good time,” Marc cooed over at me.
“You better believe it was.” I smirked back at him. It was then that Coach D walked in with a stern look on his face.
That man never smiles.
“Listen up,” he bellowed out, “because you have been doing so well and we don’t have any games this weekend, I am giving you a three-day weekend.” The whole team cheered at that. “However,” Coach continued, “Monday morning at eight AM you better be on that ice ready to work.” And then he stalked out.
I thought about it for a moment and I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I quickly changed, said bye to the boys, and ran out to my car. I knew exactly who I needed to call.
“Sliver and Smith Law Office,” a young female voice answered the phone.
“Charity?” I asked.
“Yes?” She sounded skeptical.
“Hey, it’s Lucas and I need a favor.”
Chapter 21 – Sara
Pure bliss was how I would describe my mood. Finally being with Lucas was just wonderful. His caring and loving touches were all I wanted and all I could think about. My body was still tingling from last night and even though I was a little sore, it was still perfect.
“I know that face,” Rachel yelled out from her office as I strolled in.
“Shut up, Rach,” I shouted back as I walked into my office.
“Someone got laid last night. Or was it this morning?” Rachel sang out while she leaned on her door frame.
“Rachel, leave her alone,” Betty jumped in. “A lady doesn’t kiss and tell.”
“She does if she was with Lucas Sharp.” That brought giggling from Charity as Rachel pushed on.
“Fine,” I huffed. If I didn’t give her something she would not leave me alone.
“Yes, we did it. Yes, it was perfect. No, I am not giving you details.” I stared at her and mustered my stern look at her.
“You never let me have any fun,” Rachel whined and walked back into her office.
The work day was flying by. I had been so busy since I started this morning. I couldn’t remember being this busy in a long time. Charity kept piling on more work for me.
“Charity, what is going on today? Am I this far behind in everything?” I asked when she brought in another file.
“No,” she simply stated, “you just needed to catch up a few things.” She was looking all around the room and I knew instantly that she was hiding something.
Poor girl cannot lie.
“What are you hiding?”
“Nothing.” Her dark shiny hair covered her face as she observed the ground.
“Yes, you are. Spill it.” I used my “lawyer” voice on her.
“Well, I thought that if I got you caught up then you could take Friday off. You have been working hard lately and I knew Lucas was home.” I could tell she was leaving something out, but that sweet girl was trying to give me some time off.
“Well, that is very sweet of you.” I patted her hand.
It would be nice to sleep in and spend time with Lucas.
Between the two of us, we did catch up all the work. I made sure that Charity took Friday off also. She was worried about being paid, but I insisted that it would be fine. I was getting stuff packed up for the night when I finally noticed that my phone was flashing. I had missed a text.
Lucas: wanna have dinner?
He sent it almost an hour ago.
Me: I was busy, sorry. What time 4 dinner?
I was double checking to make sure I had everything when my phone buzzed again.
Lucas: no biggie. I understand. 7 okay?
Me: Perfect.
“Well, I have not seen that smile in a very long time,” I heard Rachel say as she came into my office and sat down.
“Yeah, it has been awhile. Besides, what is up with you? You have been giddy lately and more snarky. Is there someone in your life, Ms. Sliver?” I had noticed lately that Rachel has been texting more with a grin on her face. She only did that when she liked someone.
She shrugged. “I guess. You about to head out?”
“Yep, right now. I am meeting Lucas for dinner.” I looked up and realized that Charity and Betty were in my office too. All three of them had solemn looks on their faces. “Okay,” I sang out, “what is up?”
Rachel got up, walked over to Charity, and took a paper from her hand. Rachel took a deep breath before she handed it to me. I didn’t even realize that my hands were shaking until I reached for it. Even though I knew what it was before I looked at in, my stomach was still doing flip flops. I looked down and saw that it was a subpoena for Jake’s attempted murder trial.
“Charity, will you make sure that I have a clear schedule for this,” I tried to say in my most formal voice. It didn’t work because I could hear my voice cracking and tears filled my eyes. Charity nodded.
“Hey, are you going to be okay?” Rachel placed her hand on my shoulder.
I closed my eyes to keep the tears at bay. “Of course, we knew this was coming.” I opened my eyes and looked down at the paperwork in my hands. It was then that I noticed the last page, an updated restraining order. It was good through the trial date. Jake had been out on bail and he had not been in contact with me at all. I had not even seen him since that night. I cleared my throat and tossed the paperwork on my desk.
“Well, you ladies have a good night,” I grabbed my stuff and rushed out the door, not wanting to think about it anymore.
When I got home I let the tears come. I couldn’t help but let them fall. I still felt the pain, but continued not to talk about it. After what seemed like a river of tears had fallen from my eyes, I stopped myself from crying anymore. Tonight I would focus on Lucas and our night.
I quickly ordered the food, rushing to get ready and prepare for the evening. I put on extra eye makeup to hide my puffiness from crying. Soon after that the food came; I paid for it and sat it in the oven to keep warm. I heard the knock on the door and the smile plastered itself to my face. I could not wait to see him. I raced to the door and opened it. “Hey, beautiful.” His husky voice was astounding and made me weak.
“Hey,” I breathed back to him as he walked in and shut the door.
Yep, I can’t breathe.
Lucas gathered me in his arms. His body was hard to the touch and I wanted more of him. I wanted him now. As if he was reading my mind, he pushed me against the wall and lifted me up. My legs wrapped around him as if they had a mind of their own. He was already hard and I could feel him against me.
I squeezed my thighs tighter. His sexual moan shot through me like a bullet. I dug my fingers through his soft hair as his tongue went deeper into my mouth. I felt his hand on my breast, gently pulling. When he pinched my nipple I began to rock my hips against him faster. He grew harder against me.
He removed his hand from my breast and placed it on my back. It was meant to steady me against him as we moved toward the couch. He gently laid me on the couch and broke our kiss to nibble at my neck as he made his down. His hand worked on the hem of my shirt as he pushed it up. I sat up so he could completely remove it, then unsnapped my bra. I grabbed his shirt and practically ripped it over his head and threw it down. Lucas began to work his teeth and tongue on my nipples. I ran my hand down his back and sides, trying to be caref
ul and not tickle him. My hands found their way to his belt. He let out the sexiest groan as I undid his pants and zipper. With that throaty sound I began to stroke him. He was throbbing in my hand and I began to go faster.
“Sara,” he moaned. He grabbed my jeans, unbuttoned them, and pulled them down with lighting speed. My body opened up when Lucas placed his fingers inside of me. I threw my head back, arched my back and wanted more of him. His fingers knew exactly what part of my body needed him the most and I began to pant louder. I thought I was going to explode but Lucas stopped. I almost let out a whine when he did. He got up, grabbed a condom from his pocket, rolled it on and shucked his jeans off.
He was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. He truly had the greatest body. I still couldn’t breathe as he settled back down on me. My legs spread wider to accommodate his length between my legs. The look in his eyes was filled with love and desire. It was so incredibly sexy.
He rocked into me; I was pretty sure I was going to die from pure pleasure. Lucas cradled his head where my neck and shoulder met and I grabbed his back. He instantly tensed up.
I pulled back. “Lucas.” I could barely breathe but I could tell he tensed in pain.
He stopped moving and looked down at me. “Be easy on my back. I have to play tomorrow.” He kissed my lips before I could say anything and pushed himself further into me. I could almost feel my eyes roll back into my head.
I grabbed his shoulder as he sped up. The room filled with the sounds of our panting and I wanted to touch him everywhere. As my orgasm built up again, all I could do was say his name over and over. I yelled out his name as we both exploded together. We didn’t move as we stared at each other, trying to catch our breath.
“I’m guessing you missed me today,” Lucas was the first to speak. All I could do was laugh.
A real laugh.
