Page 21 of Searching for Sadie (Mystic Falls #5)

LUCAS

T he feel of Sadie's soft hand holding tight to his own as they made their way to his truck made his heart fucking sing.

She'd been reserved, but he'd seen a couple of the looks she'd given him.

Even if he was trying to ignore them, because the last thing he needed was an erection while wearing a cup.

Plus, she was sitting right next to his mother. But not anymore.

No, now they were making their way to his truck hand in hand after a winning game. Something had shifted since their night on that porch swing and the other night in his house, and he was hoping she might be up to taking it a little further today.

Once they got to his truck, he flung his bag in the back before opening her door and helping her in. He took a deep breath and tried to settle his nerves as he made his way around to the other side. As he climbed into the cab she turned and smiled at him.

"Do you want to come over and maybe we can order a pizza and watch a movie?" he asked.

"I need to feed George first, but yeah, I'd like that."

After they turned out of the parking lot, he took her hand again and made his home quickly and quietly to his house.

"I'll deal with this," he said as he got his bag out of the back. "Trust me, you don't want to be there for this."

She laughed and it was music to his fucking ears.

"I'll go feed George and I'll be over in a bit."

As she left, he took care of his stinky gear and got the pizza ordered.

As he waited for her return he paced his foyer.

They'd go in the basement to watch a movie, that was all they were going to do.

He kept telling himself that, because he needed to get his expectations in control.

Because in the same breath he told himself that, he was hoping for more. Much more.

After a few more moments of pacing there was a small knock at the door.

Making his way quickly to the door, he stopped briefly to check his hair before pulling the door open.

And there she was. The sight of her was just about enough to stop his heart, but that was just how things had been for him since the beginning.

Sometimes, you have that initial attraction, but as you get used to the person some of that goes away.

He found the exact opposite was true where Sadie was concerned.

The more he got to know her, the more the butterflies intensified.

It was like every meeting he found something else about her liked even more than the last time.

That had to stop at some point, right? He just wasn't sure when.

"Hi," she said in a breathy voice as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Hey," he said, pulling the door fully open. "Come in. I ordered pizza, I wasn't sure what you'd like so I got a pepperoni and one with everything. I'll eat either. If you want something else, I can call and change the order?—"

Reaching out, she placed her small hand on his forearm. "That sounds perfect."

He led her past the living room into the kitchen to the door down to the basement. "I have a good setup for movies down here," he said, opening the door.

She descended the stairs before him. Seriously, what was it about this girl that made him feel like he was in high school again?

While his basement was a great place to watch movies with a big comfy sectional and a huge tv, he used it primarily to watch hockey games as was evident by the Glendale Magic memorabilia covering the walls... and well... everything else.

"Wow," Sadie said, taking it all in. "You really got a man cave thing going huh?"

Lucas shrugged, "I know, it's a lot."

"Hey, I live in a flower garden. So, who am I to judge?"

"What do you want to watch?" he asked as he sat down in the middle of the sectional.

It was big enough that she would choose to sit in a couple different places with plenty of space and comfort.

But much to his pleasure, she came and sat right next to him.

He stretched his arm out along the back of the sofa, and she leaned right into him. Perfect.

"What do you think? Comedy? Romance? Scary?"

"Oooh, let's do horror."

"I like it. Zombies or haunted?"

"Zombies."

"You're a constant surprise, Songbird."

He put on the new zombie movie that had just come out on Streamflix and pulled a blanket over them.

"I liked watching you out there. That was the first hockey game I've ever been to."

"Really? I'm hoping my parents didn't say anything too weird."

"Not at all, they were wonderful."

"Good. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll have to take you to a real hockey game when the Magic season starts back up."

"I'd like that."

The words fell away as the movie started. Her head fell onto his shoulder as his fingers traced small circles on her soft arm. As the zombies filled the screen, he pulled her close and she snuggled into his side. His life had been filled with many wonderful moments, and this was one of them.

At an intense part of the movie, she turned her face into his shoulder shielding her eyes from the gore on the screen. She peeked up at him with a sheepish grin.

"Scared?" he asked with a cocky smirk.

She batted at his chest playfully.

"Not scared, that was just gross."

"I have to admit, grossing you out wasn't what I was hoping would happen tonight," he said as he gently cupped her face.

"Oh yeah? What were you thinking would happen tonight?"

Her gaze heated and he held her jaw. "Maybe this," he said as he lowered his lips to her.

She gave a low moan as her lips parted slightly. That was all he needed. He slid the hand that had been cupping her jaw into her hair and deepened this kiss. His tongue swept into her mouth as she made another delicious little noise.

Before long the movie was forgotten as Sadie stretched out on the couch and Lucas lay beside her kissing her and running his hands along all the dips and curves of her luscious body.

He could get lost in the decadence of this woman.

While he yearned to get his hands on her without any clothes on, he was more than happy to be here with her like his.

He cupped her breast, feeling it's full weight and the faintest hint of a hard nipple through her sweatshirt and all the other clothes she had on.

She sat up and slipped her sweatshirt up over her head leaving her in leggings and a t-shirt. Lucas was barely holding on to the control he had. This woman was testing him in all the best ways.

Once she laid back down, her hands started getting a little braver. They slipped under his shirt until her small soft hand was resting on his belly. He was already hard, but the feel of her hands on his body had him just about ready to burst out of his pants.

Then her hand began to travel lower until they were at the button of his jeans. Damn. He didn't want to push her, but neither of them were small people, and there was somewhere much more comfortable to do this. If this was indeed what she wanted to do.

"Sadie," he said between pressing kisses to her neck. "I'm more than happy to keep doing what we're doing, so no pressure, but my bed is a little roomier."

She moaned and nodded. He needed more than that. So as much as it pained him, he stopped kissing her and pulled back to check in.

"Do you want to go upstairs with me?"

"Yes," she said with a clear nod.

That was what he was looking for. He cupped her face and kissed her. This wasn't the indulgent exploratory kisses they'd been sharing. No, this kiss was more. His tongue plundered her mouth, invading her senses. She moaned as her fingers dug into his back.

Fuck.

Somehow, he managed to force himself to break the kiss. When he pulled back, her pupils blown, her lips pink and swollen, and her eyes a little lust drunk.

Yeah, they needed to move this upstairs. He wanted Sadie more than he had wanted anyone in a long time.

After pressing just one more kiss to her lips, he stood from the couch and offered her a hand to help her up.

Next thing he knew he was hypnotized by the sway of her ass as they made their way up to his bedroom.

There was a very large and loud part of his brain telling him not to fuck this up, to last long, and make it so good for her. She deserved all that and more.

When she got to the top of the stairs she turned to him to see which way they were going. That struck him as a bit strange, their houses were structurally identical. Surely, she knew where the large bedroom was. But he guided her to his room with a sturdy hand on the small of her back.

Once they were in the room, he pushed the door shut behind him.

The only light illuminating the room was the full moon from the open window.

It might be dim, but it was more than enough to see Sadie.

He walked over and sat on the bed before guiding Sadie between his legs.

She was so short that while he was sitting, she was only a little taller than him.

His head was right at the height of her amazing tits.

She bent her head and kissed him as he toyed with the hem of her shirt.

He didn't want to rush things or push her since she'd stopped him previously, but if he had his way right now, he would strip her naked and push her down on the bed and worship her pussy until she couldn't take it any longer.

Then he would bury himself inside of her.

Then they would collapse into bed together and way up still holding each other.

And in the morning, he would slip out of bed to wake her up with a warm cup of coffee and breakfast in bed, before he did it all over again.

Wow. That thought surprised him. But even in that surprise, he knew that was exactly what he wanted to do with his curvy little next-door neighbor.

"Hey," she cupped his jaw and let her fingers scratch into his short beard. "I want this. You don't have to be careful with me."

That was it. That was what he needed. He pulled her shirt off over her head as she reached around to unclasp the pink bra she was wearing.

Then, right there before him was her bare breasts.

Reaching up with both hands he squeezed them and enjoyed immensely the way they spilled over his strong callused hands.

He lowered his mouth to one of them and sucked the dark rosy peak into his mouth and she moaned.

She fucking moaned. It was everything.

Her hands fisted into his hair holding him to her chest and one of his hands slipped lower and started pulling at her leggings. Once he had those down, he wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her onto the bed.

She fell to the bed behind her with a huff, but he was already kneeling before her. He checked in with her, connecting his heated gaze to her as she propped herself up on her elbows and looked at him over the mound of her belly before giving a little nod.

Fuck. He pushed her legs wide, and her perfect pink pussy was there.

In a perfect world he'd have better lighting to be able to more fully see her, but this would do for now.

He ran his hands along her plush thighs before finally sinking a finger between her folds.

She was so wet, he slipped one finger inside of her without any resistance before adding a second.

His eyes connected with hers again. Her breath had turned to pants, her brow was scrunched, and her lips were plump and parted. That was it. He needed to taste her. He lowered his face to her and licked from her entrance all the way up to her clit and she fell back with a loud moan.

"Lucas," she moaned as her hand fisted, twisting the sheets.

He continued to give her pleasure with slow deliberate licks. He had waited for this since she first moved next door, and it was just as amazing as he thought it would be. Her hands fisted in the sheets and another moan left her lips. "Please."

Her hips started to grind against his face, and he couldn't take it anymore.

He sucked her clit into his mouth as his fingers worked her.

Her back arched off the bed as she cried out as her climax broke and pulsed through it.

It was the most beautiful thing Lucas had ever seen.

He knew right then that this would not be his last time.

He would make her do that again and again.

What he thought was a crush on his next-door neighbor was turning out to me much more. And he was here for it, for all of it.
