Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

After Jen was done with the bathroom, Lucas helped her go back into the room and settle on the bed. Fortunately, the couple did not have to wait long and the doctors soon came for their round that morning. After asking Jen a few questions and doing a few check ups, she was finally allowed to be discharged.

Lucas went to handle the discharge procedures while Jen changed back into her clothes. When he returned, she was also almost done with getting dressed. Lucas draped his jacket over her shoulders and left the ward with her.

He had asked his driver to come and pick them up earlier that day so they found the car in front of the hospital entrance. The driver got out of the car and opened the door for them, after the couple got into the car, they set off.

She silently leaned against Lucas with her eyes closed on the whole ride home. Lucas's driver would occasionally peek at the couple from the rear view mirror as he drove. He had never seen his boss as panicked as he had been the previous night.

Seeing how tired he looked, he felt that his boss was more human than he let on. He was always walking around expressionlessly and you could only tell his mood from his eyebrows, whether he was annoyed, angry, or neutral. Seeing him worried, panicked, and happy was a new experience.

"Have you talked to anyone?" Jen asked Lucas with her eyes still closed as she hugged his waist.

"Not yet," Lucas answered as he watched the hotel slowly come into view. He remembered that they would probably have to move out of the hotel in a few days.

"I'll talk to them later, for now we need to go home and get comfortable," Lucas said and Jen nodded in agreement. Soon enough, the car stopped in front of the hotel and Lucas helped Jen out of the car. He kept reminding her to be careful and she almost couldn't resist the urge to roll her eyes. 

The two of them got into the hotel and went to their suite. When Jen walked in, she remembered that she had left food in the oven, so she made a beeline for the kitchen. She had only left it in there to warm, but she couldn't help but worry that it had probably dried up.

Lucas looked at her run to the kitchen and remembered the scene he had encountered the previous night and couldn't help but follow her there.

"The food is still fine, I guess I didn't set it to be very warm," Jen commented as she closed the oven and stood up, only to be face to face with Lucas.

"You can forget about cooking from now on, I'll talk to the chefs at the hotel to prepare your meals until we move into our new house," Lucas said and Jen pursed her lips in annoyance but did not resist. Who asked her to pass out the previous night? Who asked her to get pregnant? Who asked her to promise that she will listen to him?

"Okay," Jen said agreeably and got out of the kitchen. She unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing as she walked to the bedroom.

"I'm going to take a shower," Jen announced as she shrugged off the shirt she was wearing and slammed the bedroom door behind her. Lucas looked at the closed bedroom door and smiled helplessly. She really knew how to rile him up.

He went to the kitchen and turned off the oven as he called the hotel to prepare a nutritious breakfast. He ended up ordering a lot of things because he was starving and his appetite had been stimulated when Jen had opened the oven and the smell of food wafted out.

He took out the food from the oven and placed it on the kitchen counter to let it cool before putting it in the refrigerator later.

He quickly finished with that task and went to the second bedroom to take a shower. He quickly finished and wrapped a towel around his waist before leaving the room, since he did not have a change of clothes in there.

He was hungry and felt a bit impatient so he went to the kitchen and took an apple from the fridge. He bit into the apple and turned around only to be face to face with Jen who was in a fluffy bathrobe. 

She was looking at him from the living room, not at his face, but it seemed her gaze was focussed on his chest? Who said only women got their chests stared at?

"Miss Larson, my face is up here," Lucas joked as he walked towards her. Jen looked at Lucas who was getting closer and couldn't help but look at his chest once more. Lucas bit the apple, the crunching sounds drawing Jen's attention back to his face. Seeing his cheeky smile, Jen decided to ignore him and sat down on the sofa.

Lucas sat down next to her as he chewed on his apple with a faint smile on his face. Jen turned on the tv and snuck peeks at him as she watched tv. Lucas continued enjoying his apple with a faint smile on his face. When he swallowed his last bite, he looked at Jen and happened to meet her gaze at that moment.

"Hungry?" Lucas asked and Jen shook her head.

"Really? Why are you looking at me like that then?" Lucas asked her and Jen pursed her lips before turning to look at the tv screen once more. Lucas pulled her closer to him with a smile when he saw this. His fiancé was just too cute. 

"Did you want to eat an apple?" Lucas asked next to her ear and smiled wider when he saw it gradually turn red.

"Do you still want a taste?" he continued to tease as he rested his chin on her shoulder and Jen turned around to look at him only to meet his smiling face. Lucas held the back of her head and kissed her without second thought.

Jen could taste the sweet and tangy flavour of the apple he ate on his lips. She opened her mouth and licked his bottom lip, as if she was savouring the taste. Lucas also opened his mouth against hers and thrust his tongue into her mouth, rubbing it against hers.

Jen turned her body and wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her mouth a bit wider to accommodate him. Lucas ran his tongue across her palette and Jen shivered from the sensation. 

Lucas ended up pushing Jen down on to the sofa. When he transferred the kiss to her cheek, down her jaw to her neck, the sensation of his stubbled chin rubbing against her sensitive neck made her shiver and a sigh escaped her lips as she threw her head back to give him more access.

It was at this point the doorbell sounded out in the room, and Lucas reluctantly stopped what he was doing. He looked at Jen whose eyes were a bit glassy and her lips slightly swollen and pecked them before getting up from the sofa. They will continue this later!
