Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 112

Lucien. He must be worried that I’m not home yet.

“Hi, Lucien…” I answered as I connected the line. I need to sound normal.

“Where are you right now?” Lucien asked, concern evident in his voice.

“Umm…I’m at Edward’s house. I will be back soon,” I replied in a meek voice. I knew I had to talk to Lucien soon or later, but this is just too soon. Plus this situation was just…insane…

“Are you ok? Let’s have dinner together when you’re home,” Lucien answered in a warm voice, and I couldn’t help but smile.

For a moment, I forgot that Edward was in the room with me, and he was listening and watching me intently. Glancing at Edward, I saw that his green eyes shone dangerously as he continued to watch my every move. I better watch what I say for more reasons than one.

“Yes, I’m ok. I’ll see you when I’m home…” I replied as I tried to keep my voice steady. Lucien must not find out that Edward is right here by my side. For some reason, I began to feel very guilty about what I was doing. I wished that Lucien would just hang up but instead he continued to talk about another topic.

“Should we go on a trip together some time? I think I can find free up next weekend,” Lucien asked cheerily. I can imagine his gentle smiling face as he said this. A weekend alone with Lucien would be…

“Ah…” I let out a little cry when I felt my ankles being grabbed and pulled. Edward had pulled my legs so that my legs from the knee down was dangling on the side of the bed. What is he trying to do? I narrowed my eyes at Edward. He just ignored my glare with an innocent shrug of his shoulders.

“Natalia, are you ok?” Lucien asked with worry.

What is Edward doing? I felt the soft pillow under my hips, and I started to get a general sense of what he was trying to do now…no way!

“Yea…I’m ok. It’ll be good if we can go on a small getaway. It has been a while, I guess…” I replied to Lucien a little absentmindedly as I went along with what he said. All the while, I was watching what Edward was going to do as he stood on the floor in between my legs. I glared at him…he needs to stop.
