Page 9 of His & Hers

“So Idon’thave to go home with you?” I stammered as he gazed at me.

“Come here,” Lucas commanded, and my body obeyed like a magnet, almost slamming into him as he chuckled. “Alice, when I fuck you, it will be consensual. You willenjoyit. I do not have to blackmail women for sex, believe it or not. I just wanted to see you again.”

My mouth was inches from his, and since he wasn’t planning on murdering my family if I didn’t go home with him, he seemed much more appealing.

“Then you don’t mind if I leave the limo,” I said, holding my breath as his brow furrowed.

“Of course not.”

My body refused to move.

“If you still want to come home with me, you can,” Lucas murmured, as his lips brushed my neck, making me whimper out in response.

“Okay,” I said as his eyes darkened.

I heard more foreign words escape his lips as he gave more orders, and the car moved away from my home.

“Do I scare you,Bella ragazza?” Lucas’s voice seduced my ear as I shivered beneath his touch.

My instincts told me to get as far away from this man as possible, but my body refused to obey.

“No,” I lied, as he pulled me onto his lap suddenly. His large hands were shoving up the hem of my cream dress as he squeezed my thighs.

“Fuck, you’re so beautiful,” Lucas whispered.

I leaned towards him, my hair falling like a veil between us until he gathered it in one hand, tugging it slightly.

I let out a gasp, and he smirked, his lips on my throat, and his hot breath danced on my body. This was insane, he hadn’t even kissed me yet, and I was amess.

“But uneducated.” I lifted my eyebrows as his eyes met mine.

“In the world ofacademia, yes. But I would hazard a guess you’re talented in other areas.” Lucas smirked as his eyes fell to my lips.

The heat radiating from our bodies was ridiculous.

“You haven’t even asked if I’m single,” I whispered as his fingers trailed down my back.

“Because I don’t care.”

“Areyou?” I asked in a small voice, my eyes flickering down to his left hand, where there was no wedding ring.

He was older than me, that much I knew. Suddenly I felt out of my depth, and I went to move away from him, eager to create distance between us. He watched me with an amused expression as he shook his head, holding me in place.

“I don’t have relationships, Alice.”

Unexpected jealousy tore through me as I clocked the hidden meaning; he just fucked women.

I can’t say shit—I’m the same.

“We will have a perfect understanding then.” I smiled sweetly as he chuckled with understanding.

“You don’t have relationships either?”

I shook my head as his fingers dug into my skin, making me yelp in pain.

I glared at him as he looked up at me with narrowed eyes.

“If you’re fuckingme, you aren’t fucking anyoneelse. Do I make myself clear?” Lucas gripped me tighter, and instead of scaring me—itexcitedme.
