Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

There was still a suspicious blush on Jen's face, and her lips had also become slightly swollen from what Lucas had done to her before. So those people who had seen her before she went to Lucas's office knew that she looked a bit different. 

She tried to act like she did not know why his secretaries were giving her knowing looks, but she secretly pinching Lucas's arm. Although, she did not do it too hard because she was afraid that he would end up bruising from it.

"You could have just waited and we could have done this at home. Now I'm feeling so embarrassed I could die," Jen said to him once they got on the elevator.

"Hm? Is this the same person who was calling out my name so sweetly before?" Lucas teased as he made a step towards her. Jen took a step back and the cool wall of the elevator met her back. 

"Can you not do this? We are going to get caught," Jen said as Lucas placed one hand around her waist and the other against the elevator wall behind her.

"I wanted to steal a kiss since before," Lucas said in a low voice as his nose brushed against hers.

"Then hurry before we get to the ground floor," Jen said, her voice tinged with frustration.

"Someone is impatient," Lucas said. They were so close that his lips brushed against hers when he spoke. Jen, who had been anxious before was sucked into the mood and just moved forward a bit, connecting their lips. Jen put her arms behind his neck and became immersed in the kiss almost immediately.

His tongue caressed hers, and she started panting at the sensation. She nipped his bottom lip and sucked it into her mouth, and Lucas pressed her even more tightly against the elevator.

It was at this time that the elevator stopped and before Jen could react; the doors had slid open. She pulled her head back and Lucas did not push her because he also heard the elevator doors open. 

She hit his chest a few times, and he took a step back, giving her space to escape. He had been blocking her sight, but now that he had stepped aside, she could see the surprised expressions of the people outside. She wanted to use her purse to cover her face and run out of the building, but she could not trample on her own dignity like this.

At this time, she felt Lucas's arm go over her shoulder and her embarrassment doubled, her face turning so red it was a surprise it wasn't dripping blood.

"Miss Larson, shall we?" he asked when he noticed that she was rooted to the ground. She nodded stiffly and walked out of the elevator with him. Martin had been smart and didn't take the executive elevator with the couple. With the sight he was met with, he was glad he did not. Otherwise, what kind of revenge would he have to face on Monday when his boss came back to work?

Jen looked up at Lucas's face and noticed that some lipstick had smudged over the corner of his lips. She opened her purse and opened a small pack of wipes she always carried around.

"Wait a moment," she said, and Lucas stopped to look at her. She then raised her hand and wiped the area below his lower lip. He raised his eyebrows in question and Jen, who had managed to calm down, felt her face redden once more.

"Lipstick," she said, so only he could hear. After hearing her response, Lucas chuckled and tangled his fingers in her hair and the two continued to walk towards the exit. He had only stopped at touching her hair because he was resisting the urge to kiss her. He now felt that everything she did was just too cute. Is this what they meant when they said distance makes the heart grow fonder?

Martin silently followed the couple out and received orders from Lucas before watching the large car they had come in drive off. Once he could not see the car anymore, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Claire who had been in the lobby to escort a client out had witnessed the interaction between the two and felt bitter.

This guy had never looked at her like that. She had noticed that back then he really liked her hair, but now with her short hair, the only thing that he had remotely liked about her was gone. She was reminded of this when she saw how he kept playing with his girlfriend's long hair.

Maybe she shouldn't have ended things with him? Even though he was not the model boyfriend, she was still very hung up on him.

Lucas, who had not even noticed her presence in the lobby, was currently asking Jen what she wanted to have for lunch. Jen was looking out the window while holding her face with her hands as if she was trying to cool her reddened cheeks.

"Are you still embarrassed?" Lucas asked her when he noticed her silence and chuckled when he saw her actions.

"Yes, gosh! Why were there so many people standing in front of the elevator?" Jen complained and Lucas continued to laugh at her.

"It's not funny," Jen said and looked at him, not aware of the small pout that she was sporting.

"Mmmh, it's not funny, it's cute. So tell me, Miss Larson, what do you want to eat?" Lucas repeated and Jen seriously thought about it.

"Have you found any interesting restaurants here?" Jen asked him, and Lucas frowned thoughtfully as he thought about it. The restaurant he frequented the most was one of her own.

"Besides you restaurant… um… oh, I know a place," Lucas said and smiled as the car sped up. Jen looked at him curiously, but if he was going to surprise her then. The two of them went out for dinner and went straight home afterwards.

They went to their suite as they carried their numerous shopping bags. They made a beeline for the bedroom and deposited the things in the walk-in closet. Jen sat on the carpeted floor and looked up at Lucas, who was placing the shopping bags next to her.

"I have to wash up, but I'm feeling lazy," Jen complained as she resisted the urge to lie down.

"Should I help you?" Lucas asked her, and Jen got up immediately. If he did, she would be even more exhausted than she currently was.

"No, I'll manage," Jen said and turned her back to him. Lucas helped her with the zipper and looked at her delicate back that was being revealed by his slow movements. Right after he was done, he pulled her into his arms and kissed the back of her neck.

"Lucas," Jen called and closed her eyes. He wasn't planning on making things easy for her at all!

"Mmmh," he responded as he nipped on her earlobe.

"I have to go shower. I have prepared a surprise for you later," Jen said, and Lucas stopped his movements.

"Really?" he asked as he turned her around to face.

"Really, so just be a bit patient," Jen said and pecked his lips before escaping to the bathroom while he was still dazed.

Jen took her time showering, so by the time she got out, her face was red from all the heat inside. She saw a shirtless Lucas sitting on the bed and she looked at him incredulously. Did he perhaps want his surprise right now? She asked herself as she pretended not to notice him and went to the walk-in closet.

A small smile appeared on his lips and he went to the bathroom to take his shower. He was not so impatient that he wouldn't even freshen up before going at it.

Jen got dressed in white lace lingerie that she covered with a bathrobe and rummaged through her luggage and slipping something inside the pocket of the robe.

When she walked out of the closet, she could still hear the shower running. So she left the bedroom and went to the kitchen. For what she was planning on doing, she needed a lot of courage. So she made a beeline for the wine fridge.
