Convincing Her (Jen And Lucas) Chapter 93 - She Can't Win

Jen quickly showered and went to look for one of Lucas' t-s.h.i.+rts to wear before she went downstairs. She found that he had already set the table and the house smelled of food so much so that she started feeling her stomach complain. She went straight to the kitchen where Lucas was was.h.i.+ng the dishes.

"Should I really just keep you?" Jen teased Lucas since he looked so domesticated.

"I definitely won't complain" Lucas replied as he played along with her.

"If you take care of me and the house properly, I promise I won't treat you unfairly" Jen continued with her teasing as she walked towards him.

"Only if you promise to take responsibility" Lucas replied.

"Responsibility?" Jen asked feeling puzzled.

"Of course miss Larson, if you promise to take responsibility then I'll quit my job and accompany you at home, take care of the house and even give you a few children" Lucas said and chuckled when he saw her eyes widen when she realised what he meant by responsibility.

"H-how-"

"What is it Miss Larson, do you want to renege now?" Lucas asked as he staked her like a prey. Jen was backed to one of the kitchen counters and her body was trapped between him and the counter.

Lucas noticed that she was wearing his t-s.h.i.+rt and that one of her shoulders was exposed because the t-s.h.i.+rt was too big for her.

"That's not it, it's just that, um.." Jen's reply was incomplete since she was so perplexed. How is it that she always ends up taking things so seriously? She inevitably trapped herself in her own trap.

"Just what?" Lucas asked as he trailed his cold finger on her bare shoulder making her s.h.i.+ver.

"Your hands are cold" Jen said suddenly.

"Do you hate it?" Lucas asked with his finger tip tracing down the side of her neck. His eyes were following his finger before he suddenly looked at Jen directly in the eye.

"It's just-"

"They don't seem to hate it" Lucas commented as he pointedly looked at her chest. Jen followed his gaze and couldn't help the blush that rose to her face making Lucas chuckle.

"Let's go have dinner" Jen said and stealthily slipped away from Lucas. She could already predict the direction of their interaction and she would just end up frustrated in the end since he would just fool around but not take any proper action. She immediately served two plates of food when she got to the table and put Lucas' plate on the opposite seat. He came out of the kitchen the moment she sat down and he went to sit in front of his plate.

Jen was too embarra.s.sed and frustrated to say anything and Lucas noticed her mood so he did not attempt to tease her anymore. They ate in relative silence and once they were done eating Jen insisted on cleaning up afterwards.

Lucas accepted without much resistance before he went to the living room to wrap up on some work he was doing. Jen took her time cleaning up while Lucas was busy with work and the atmosphere in the house was strangely harmonious.

Soon enough Jen joined him in the living room and started working on her a.s.signments while doing some light revision. They sat like that for a couple of hours before Jen felt that she had reached her limit for the day.

When she checked the time she saw that it was almost midnight. She looked at Lucas who was still focused on his work and went to the kitchen to prepare some tea. Lucas watched as her figure vanished and started wrapping up his work. Fortunately he did not have too much to handle as he was getting more accustomed to how things ran in the company.

Jen went to the living room with two mugs once she was done making tea and handed one of them to Lucas as she went to sit on the other end of the couch he was sitting in as she nursed her drink.

Soon enough Lucas was done with working and finally started drinking his tea.

"Lucas" Jen called out to him suddenly.

"Yes?" he replied and looked at her. Her eyes had become hooded as she looked at him.

"You can control your anger right? It won't happen that you'll suddenly hit me one day right?" Jen asked as she looked at him seriously. Lucas was perplexed, it was the last thing he was expecting her to ask.

"What are you talking about?" Lucas asked still feeling puzzled.

"You have to promise me that you won't hit me, otherwise i'll break up with you immediately" Jen announced self righteously.

"I promise, I won't even have those thoughts" Lucas said, although he still did not know why she brought up such a sensitive subject. Jen looked at him as if she was trying to find out whether he was being honest or whether he was lying and finished up her drink before setting the ug on the coffee table.

"What is this about?" Lucas asked curiously.

"Well, one of my friends was beaten by her boyfriend" Jen said as she burrowed herself in his arms.

"Is she alright?" Lucas asked with concern.

"She's okay, but I can't help but worry" Jen replied and looked up at him.

"You can't always make choices for people, even when you know they might end up making bad choices, at the end of the day, they are the ones who will suffer the consequences of their actions. Don't get stressed out about her, i feel neglected" Lucas said with a playful pout that made Jen stretch her body and kiss him.

Lucas reciprocated her kiss and when his tongue dove between her lips, he could taste the wine she had drunk.

"You had wine?" Lucas asked as he pointedly looked at the mug she set at the coffee table and the tea in his mug.

"It's not like I could give you alcohol as you work, but now that you're done" Jen said flirtatiously and licked his lower lip before pulling it between her lips making Lucas instinctively hold the back of her head in an attempt to hold her in place before his tongue resumed its exploration of her mouth. At this point half her body was on top of his as the rest was between his legs.

The t-s.h.i.+rt she was wearing had rode up her body exposing her dark blue lace panties and her bare torso.

Lucas had his palms wrapped around her waist as he changed her sitting position and made her straddle him. One of his fingers hooked itself on the side of her panties that were translucent and teased it's edges that ran down her bottom all the way between her legs but did not directly touch her.

"You plan on leaving me hanging right?" Jen asked as she breathed heavily into Lucas' mouth making their episode even hotter. Lucas just smirked arrogantly as if he knew even though he would not take her all the way, she would not leave.

"Do you hate it?" Lucas asked as he nipped her jaw. Jen could only shake her head in response as his warm breath caressed her neck.

"Then it shouldn't matter right?" Lucas asked as he slightly pulled back to look at her with his hazel eyes that were dilated in his arousal. Jen nodded in response and dove in for another kiss.
