Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Lucas took Jen back to bed after she confirmed that she was feeling slightly better. After putting her back to sleep, he went to take a shower before going to the kitchen to prepare a light breakfast for her. Lucas was tempted to look for Leanna for advice but became hesitant since they agreed on keeping it to themselves until they were three months along.

After surfing the internet for a bit, Lucas just made light breakfast and tried to stay away from foods with strong smells. He was afraid of aggravating her once more.

Jen couldn't really get back to sleep so just lay down for a while to recompose herself before going to take a shower. She was already feeling much better after freshening up. She left the room in her robe and made her way to the kitchen.

There wasn't really any sound of cooking but she could hear Lucas move around in the kitchen. She made a beeline for the kitchen and found him peeling some fruits for her. She leaned against the kitchen counter and Lucas looked up to watch her before smiling.

"Are you feeling better" He asked Jen who was resting her chin on her hand while looking at him with her heart in her eyes.

"Yes I am," Jen answered as she picked up a piece of apple that he had already sliced up for her and took a bite. Lucas leaned forward and kissed her lips that were now covered with apple juice. Jen let him indulge himself and couldn't help but smile into the kiss. 

Jen teasingly nipped his bottom lip before pulling back and creating some distance between them. Lucas looked at her with a smile still lingering in his eyes before he quickly finished dealing with the fruits.

"I made toast, do you want to have anything with it?" Lucas asked as he poured her a cup of tea. 

"Hmm, I'll just have it with butter. I don't think I can stomach anything rich for now," Jen said and Lucas spread butter on the warm toast he just prepared for her. He finished quickly and placed everything he had prepared in front of her. 

He also abstained from cooking anything rich because he was afraid that he would make her uncomfortable, so he also settled for a simple breakfast with a cup of coffee. Jen glanced at his coffee mug a few times before Lucas noticed her actions.

"Do you want coffee?" Lucas asked with an amused smile. He recalled how she would always try to talk him out of drinking coffee and wouldn't even bother to prepare it whenever she made breakfast, now she looked like she was coveting his coffee!

"Strangely it smells appealing," Jen said and Lucas chuckled in amusement.

"Then we'll buy some decaf later on our way back home," Lucas said before taking a sip of his coffee.

"Are we going anywhere later?" Jen asked and Lucas nodded as he munched on his toast.

"Where are we going?" Jen asked curiously. 

"House hunting, and to meet the wedding planners," Lucas said and Jen's eyes widened in realisation. Things were moving faster because of their current circumstances, but unlike Leanna, the two had already planned on getting married so she did not really feel that they were getting married because of her pregnancy, but rather, they were pushing forward an inevitable event.

"Then we should hurry up," Jen said as she sped up the pace at which she was eating. Lucas was not planning on rushing to do these things so he took his time with his breakfast. After insisting on doing the dishes, Lucas received a phone call from Martin.

Martin had narrowed down the options down to three houses and was ready to take them to go see the properties whenever they were ready. 

"Jen, get ready, we'll leave in an hour," Lucas said to her as he finished up with the dishes. Jen obediently made a beeline for their room to change into more appropriate clothing. After Lucas finished with the dishes, he called the driver to come pick them up before going to change his clothes as well.

Jen was sitting in front of the mirror and doing her makeup when Lucas walked in to the dressing room. Her eyes focussed on him as he moved around bare chested to pick out his clothes and she forgot her task even more after he removed the sweatpants he was wearing.

Lucas noticed her dazed expression through the reflection in the mirror and couldn't stop himself from approaching her.

"Miss Larson, if you keep staring at me like that, we won't be leaving today," Lucas said as he placed his hands on both sides of her body, trapping her between himself and her dresser. Jen looked at his intense reflection through the mirror and felt her cheeks flush. 

Recently, he had become quite clingy with Lucas but after thinking about it, it was probably caused by her pregnancy. She felt his warm breath against her neck and her cheeks couldn't help but flush from excitement.

"Hurry up and get dressed," Jen said and pursed her lips together.

"Mmmh, I'll listen to you, after I get a kiss," Lucas said and nibbled on her pink ear. Jen turned her head to look at him directly before stretching her arms out to wrap behind his head and pulling him in for a kiss. 

In comparison to how Lucas normally behaved in the past, it was very obvious that he had been trying to restrain himself since he found out that they were going to be having a baby.

Lucas just opened his mouth against hers in response to her kiss and plunged his tongue into her open mouth. Jen could faintly taste the coffee on his tongue and couldn't stop herself from wrapping her lips around his tongue and sucking on it.

Lucas felt like she was repeatedly testing his restraints with her actions. She was seducing him and he was feeling seduced. He used one of his hands to hold the back of her head and deepened the kiss even more. 

He did not touch her anywhere else because he knew that if he did then he might as well not go out today. After a few minute of teasing each other like this, Lucas finally released her and went to their room to take her medication.

Jen, whose cheeks were still flushed from his teasing was suddenly given a glass of water with her medicine. She looked at Lucas for a few seconds before taking her medication and downing the glass of water.

Lucas smiled in satisfaction before finishing getting dressed. Jen quickly finished with her makeup, and soon enough, the two of them were making their way out of their suite. When they got out of the hotel lobby, Lucas's driver was already waiting for them at the entrance.

After getting into the car, Lucas instructed him on where to go before rolling up the partition. Jen looked at him with a shallow smile that disappeared after Lucas kissed her intensely.
