CHAPTER 57
SKYLAR POV
Sitting there staring at Lucas, I was completely taken aback by his confession to me. I never in a million years thought that anyone like him would ever fall in love with me.
I felt all sorts of emotions that I don’t think I had ever felt before. For some reason, it felt different when Lucas said it to when Jax said it.
I realized that I had been staring at him pretty speechless and too full of emotions right now.
I hope he was saying it because he meant it and not just because he is in a bad place and needs to feel something good right now. I mean, his room is trashed which means the call to his dad didn’t go very well.
But the longer I looked at him, the more I realized that he wasn’t just saying it for the sake of saying it. He did actually mean it.
I didn’t think I deserved this. Not from these guys who have done nothing but protect me and save me since they met me.
I really don’t feel worthy of anything that they have to give me. But they just keep offering more and more. Proving to me that they aren’t just in it for themselves. They do actually care about me.
Lucas leaned forward and gave me a little kiss on the lips and embraced me in another hug. But this was a lot gentler, not like before where it was more demanding. He looked vulnerable.
It’s the first time I had ever seen him like this. Like a little puppy finding a home and seeking acceptance.
I could sense his emotions as I hugged him back and I kissed him softly on the side of his cheek, just above his ear.
I moved back a little and I kissed him on the forehead and he sat there staring into my eyes.
“I love you too Lucas.” I finally responded.
Lucas responded by kissing me on the lips and trailing the kisses down my jawline to my neck and my collarbone.
I moved my head back so he had better access to my neck and I finally felt the warmth and the security that I had always been craving. The intimacy that I wanted but was always just out of reach.
I know that I have had a lot of trouble in the past, and it’s followed me everywhere I’ve gone. But being here with Lucas right now, I knew that I was safe and that Lucas would never do anything to hurt me.
I was finally willing to let all of those fears go as I melted into his touch.
He raised his hand up and put it around the side of my neck while he was kissing the other side of my neck and I knew that I was ready for the next step in this relationship.
I placed my hands on Lucas’ hips and he pulled me closer so that I was actually sitting on his lap now and he pulled my face back down to his and enveloped me in a deep meaningful kiss, full of passion.
I felt the butterflies erupt in my stomach and my heart started racing but I didn’t tell him to stop. I leaned into it further and deepened the kiss as my hands trailed down his back, feeling every muscle through his shirt until I got to the bottom of his shirt.
I lifted it up slightly and I started running my hands up his bare back, feeling every tightened muscle and goosebumps that were gradually popping up on his skin. Almost like he was just as nervous as I was right now.
“Are you sure?” Lucas asked.
“Yeah. I’m sure.” I said. So he pulled me back in for a deep kiss and he stood up and turned around so I was laying on the bed and he was on top of me. With one arm resting next to my head so he didn’t have his whole weight on me.
He could tell that I was nervous and he wasn’t moving too fast.
As he was kissing me, I felt his hand trail down my stomach until it got to the hem of my shirt but he wrapped his large hand around my waist and turned me more into his body.
He started grinding on me slightly as he was kissing down my neck to my chest and back up again.
I could feel the passion between both of us getting heightened with each kiss and every touch, wanting this more than ever. But just as we were getting really into it, there was a knock at the door.
Lucas pulled his head up and stared into my eyes for a moment before there was another knock on the door.
“What?” Lucas asked, looking and sounding pretty annoyed. So I just laid there and I bit my bottom lip.
“Dinner’s ready.” Jax sang out.
“Alright. We’ll be down in a minute.” Lucas said.
“We?” Jax asked.
“Get lost Jax.” Lucas warned. But I heard Jax chuckling as he walked back towards the stairs to go downstairs.
“Well, he knows how to ruin the mood.” I said, slowly sitting up.
I stood up and straightened up my clothes and Lucas sat on his bed and grabbed my hand.
“Hey. Can we pick this up after dinner?” Lucas asked.
He looked unsure if I was going to change my mind or not. Which I guess was fair enough. I would be thinking the same thing if I was him.
But I leaned down and kissed him while he was sitting there and he wrapped his arms around my back.
“Yeah. We can pick this up again later.” I said. And I don’t think Lucas could contain the smile that wiped across his face after that.
I knew that this was only going to be a temporary interruption.
We both felt the anticipation and reassurance that neither of us were regretting this. So he stood up and he took my hand in his as we went downstairs for dinner.
I tried to hide my face so the guys wouldn’t suspect anything, but Lucas looked completely at ease. Like nothing was happening at all.
But we were both looking forward to our continued night later on. When we can finally get time to be alone again.
