Chapter 587 Reading Romance
“Dr. Murphy, won’t sleep during the day, won’t sleep at night, just reading these romance novels–am I not taking care of you well enough?”
Lucas looked at her bright eyes.
Lynn had been exhausted these past few days. She stayed up late, couldn’t sleep during the day either, her mind always stuck on Ruben. Her eyes were a little bloodshot.
The glasses on her face were ones she usually only word for driving, sometimes at night. Lucas hadn’t really noticed them before.
But looking now, Lynn actually looked pretty sexy in those glasses.
“You’re mean,” Lynn said.
She bit her lip, carefully hooked her pinky around his, and said softly, “You haven’t even sweet–talked me yet.”
Lucas looked down at his hand, barely touched by hers and felt like his whole mind was drifting away with that small gesture.
His voice softened. He tossed the towel onto a nearby chair. “If I sweet–talk you, will you sleep?”
“Mhm. You promised to sweet–talk me to sleep.” She looked up, meeting his deep eyes.
He chuckled quietly and lay down beside her. “Lie down.”
Lynn obediently lay back. Lucas stretched out next to her, kissed her forehead, and pulled her into his
arms.
“Want me to tell you a story?”
“If you actually know one, sure.” Lynn found the idea amusing.
Lucas looking all serious like this was so unlike him. Maybe being a bit more clingy actually worked
“Don’t know any love stories, but I’ve got plenty of ghost stories.” Lucas offered. “Want one?”
“Never mind.”
Lynn had been about to compliment him, but that thought got shut down fast. Who tells ghost stories to sweet–talk someone to sleep?
Lucas laughed out loud. She was too easy to tease
They didn’t talk after that Lynn lay in Lucas‘ arms and quietly fell asleep
As usual, Lucas waited until she was asleep then got upond carried his laptop to the home other next
door
The next morning. Lynn was jolted awake by her alan Lucas grumpily swiped it off on her phone, then

shifted positions and pulled her closer.
Lynn was wide awake now.
She didn’t dare sleep in at Moore Manor, especially after that fight with Petra. She’d been extra careful about everything since then.
“Stay in bed with me a bit longer. He turned on his side throwing a leg over her waist, trapping her completely in his arms.
Lynn just watched him quietly.
He hadn’t seemed interested in sex these past two days.
But that night, he’d wanted her so badly and couldn’t get enough.
Had he lost interest in her that fast?
Or was he just tired?
Lynn didn’t dare ask, didn’t dare provoke him. She just lay there in his arms, listening to his breathing feeling his heartbeat against her chest.
She reached up and pressed her palm to his chest, feeling the steady thump–thump–thump under her hand.
“Checking if I’m dead or something?”
“Huh?” Lynn jumped.
Lucas‘ way of talking could always catch her off guard.
He kissed the top of her head and slipped his hand under her shirt. “Don’t start things early in the morning
“I wasn’t.” Lynn pouted. She just wanted to feel him close.
“Mm.” Lucas hummed in response, then added, “Can you maybe not wear anything under this It’s kind of
a hassle.”
The moment he said it, she felt something loosen
Lynn usually didn’t wear anything to sleep when she was alone any way. But having a man next to her made it feel strange she still wasn’t used to it
Honestly, not wearing anything was more comfortable ver since getting together with I was sleeping with something on felt even worse
Hearing Lucas say that made her face warm up
His hands were rough with calluses, leaving a trail of thing wherever they touched
Dawn was just breaking and they were still angled in bed But I was only seemed to want to touch–she was blushing furiously by the time he finally got up and headed to the bathroom

Lynn watched him go. He’d clearly wanted to just now, so why did he hold back all of a sudden?
A flicker of disappointment crossed her heart.
