A good morning
Ava woke up from the hard rock her head laid on, it took a while for her to return to her senses and realized that the hard rock turned out to be Lucas’s body. For the first time, she’d slept in his arms, and she’d woken up beside him, it was not like the disappointment she got from last time when he left her. Even though all parts of her body ached and her neck felt a bit distorted, she wouldn’t give up last night for anything in the world, a blush crept up her cheeks as she remembered how she’d pleased him last night. She’d fulfilled his desires and he’d fulfilled hers as well. She was deep in her thoughts and didn’t know for how long Lucas had been watching her until she gazed up at him and met those dark blue eyes again, she smiled, leaned up and kissed him, sliding her tongue into his mouth, the kiss reminded her of the moments they shared the previous night, and she almost felt the need to continue it again, but she couldn’t; she had a day ahead of her and she had visitors to see, she sighed as she pulled back from his lips.
“Good morning, Alpha.”
“I have a name you know.”
She smiled again. “Good morning, Lucas.”
“Good morning, Ava, and how did you sleep?”
“Not very well.”
He creased his brow, “and why is that?”
Something unrelated came to her mind then. She recalled how she went on her knees to please him last night, how she begged to be the one, and embarrassment flooded her as she also recalled the contrasting words he’d said to her on the first day of her kidnap, “by the end of your stay here, you’ll be the one begging to sleep with me, you’ll be the one begging to stay with me forever, I promise you that.” She didn’t respond to the question he asked; she would not give him the satisfaction of knowing he was right after all, how her longing to be with him made her sleep on top of a hard rock like that without complaint. He was right, and although she wasn’t sure of forever, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that she’s with him right now.
She changed the topic, standing up from the bed and proceeding to pick up her torn clothes from the floor.
“I’m going back to my room now, Lucas.”
“Ava.”
She turned. “Yes?”
He paused for a bit, as if finding the right words to say, before letting them out anyway.
“Would you um… like to dine with me this morning?”
She knew it took a lot of courage for him to ask her that, but why was he asking her? Why would he want to dine with her of all people?
It gets lonely for him whenever he’s alone. Sometimes he just wishes to have someone beside him, he has many people surrounding him, but he never had anyone he’d let close to his heart, not after Amelia and Bambi. Maybe now, his heart is willing to give love another chance, but will she accept to leave her duties behind for him?
