The Love From Vengeance (Ariel and Luke) novel Chapter 157

157 HOW DID YOU? 

ARIEL’S POV 

By the time I arrived at Andre’s house, Janice had already fallen asleep. I had to kiss her goodbye, dropping Lukel off. It was quite surprising that Andre and Manuel had not arrived yet; I guess they must be really busy with projects at the office. I didn’t go to work today, and I didn’t even bother calling them to ask how things were going. Silly me. 

So, I drove home with a great feeling, no longer worried since I had seen Lukel. But I drew my mind back to when I was still searching for him. The woman I had sighted looked just like Harriet. Or was I imagining things? I couldn’t tell. 

The moment I arrived home, I got out of my car, and my phone started ringing. Mason was the one who was calling. This made me roll my eyes. Why the hell was this baboon calling me? 

I declined his call, and my phone went straight to airplane mode. I wasn’t going to let that scumbag give me a heart attack or something. I knew he wanted to ask me about the plan, but he was in no mood for that conversation. And I had no idea how I was going to handle this situation since Luke and I were now this close. Well, I had a feeling this passion between us wasn’t going to last long. Walking into the mansion, I saw two little children settling down on the couch, playing video games, and you could just guess who was in between them: Luke. They were so joyful, laughing and shouting like there was no tomorrow. I couldn’t help but smile at Luke. 

“Ariel,” Luke called my name the moment his eyes caught mine. “You’re back. You took so long. Where were you?” 

“It’s not something you should worry about,” I answered, still smiling. 

He took his attention back to the huge screen as they continued to enjoy their gaming moment. 

не 

“So, whose children are these?” I asked, holding my waist. 

“They’re mine,” he answered, not glancing at me. 

“That’s impossible,” I said immediately, and he laughed. 

“Why did you say that?” 

“I don’t have to explain everything to 

you, sir” 

“Okay, okay. Follow me upstairs.” He dropped his gaming pad on the table. 

“Follow you upstairs? You haven’t given me an answer to my question.” 

“I will, when we get upstairs. Chill alright?‘ 

“Oh well. It’s your house. You call the shots around here.” 

“I’m glad you acknowledge that. Now follow me.” He walked upstairs, holding my hand, and we made it to our room. 

“So, care to give me an answer to my…” 

He smacked my lips immediately, interrupting me from talking. I was surprised, but I had to get lost in the passion. We continued kissing, with Luke reaching for my waist as our tongues moved in perfect harmony. His grip on me tightened, the kiss deepening, and after what felt like eternity, he slowly pulled away, both of us looking deeply into each other’s eyes. 

“How did you do it, Ariel?” He asked softly. 

“Do what?” My tone was also inaudible. 

“How did you ignite this passion within me? You ignited this passion within me, and now I just… want to be with you every time.” 

I was still gazing into his eyes, silent for seconds, before I finally spoke in a whisper. “You want to be with me every time. Are you sure about that?” 

“Do you think I’m lying?” 

“I don’t know. Everything’s just so.” I trailed off, letting out a deep sigh before I added, “surprising.” 

Luke held my hands. “I know. I’m surprised as well at how everything just changed overnight. But what can I say? This is how things are meant to be, I guess. This has always been what my grandfather wanted. Something I thought was never going to happen. You can’t actually predict the future.” 

He moved his face closer to mine and gently pressed his lips against mine, and I could feel a fire igniting inside of me. I had never felt this kind of passion before, and it was overwhelming yet addictive. His hands roamed over my body, sending shivers down my spine. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me as our tongues danced in perfect harmony. 

His lips moved from my lips to my neck, trailing soft kisses along my skin. I let out a soft moan, unable to control the pleasure that was coursing through my body. Luke’s hands moved down to my waist, pulling me even closer to him. I could feel his heart beating rapidly against my chest, matching the rhythm of my 

own. 

I ran my fingers through his hair, deepening the kiss even more. I couldn’t get enough of him, and I could tell that he felt the same way. Our bodies were pressed against each other, and I could feel the heat between us intensifying with each passing second.
