Arianna Contos' POV
I was smiling at my neighbor before I was standing in front of Lucas as I was trying to pat down my hair to look nice. I am humiliating myself right now and in front of a Greek god as well.
"Oh, nothing. I was taking something from your balcony that my stuff flew in," I lied as Lucas was arching his eyebrow at me.
"And that would be?" He asked as I was gripping the rope that Jenny released earlier.
"This," I said as I was holding the rope and Lucas was arching both his eyebrows now.
"Huh, that's weird. I thought the rope was not carried by the wind," he said as he was crossing his hands in front of his chest. Okay, now I don't know what to do, I am out of ideas.
"I…well, I can explain,"
"Please do," Lucas said as I was gripping the rope behind my back. I was gulping before I was looking at the intense silver orbs right now, looking straight into my soul. Maybe I can use that to my advantage.
"I'm sorry but I think I have to do this now before I explode," I said as I was taking two strides and pushed Lucas to the floor as I was straddling his laps.
"Ari, what are you—"
I did not let him finish the sentence as I was kissing his lovely mouth now. It was soft and warm when I was biting his lower lips and I felt his moan inside my mouth.
"Ari—"
"Shh, I don't think I can think right now when you're close to me," I said as I was looking into his intense silver eyes. If I know any better, I think Lucas was showing his true color at me right now.
Desire, lust, and possessiveness were showing in his eyes and I shivered at the sight.
"Ari, if you don't stop right now, I will," he said as I was snaking my hands around his neck as I was pulling him closer. My breasts were touching his hard chest. His breaths staggered.
"Will you want to?" I whispered to him before I was tracing my fingertips on his jaws. He clenched them.
"Ari, I don't think this will be a good time for this," he said as I was looking at him before he was pushing me off from his laps and he was standing up from the floor. Now, I felt exposed to this floor even though I was wearing clothes.
I felt rejected.
I was hugging myself before I sighed. Lucas was pacing in front of me before I was standing up as well and he stopped pacing as I was walking back to the balcony.
"What are you doing?" He asked as I was taking the rope before I was holding my chin high as I can see that Jenny was waiting for me on the other side.
"I think I was the only one that was fancying herself with a man. But you don't feel the same way. I'm sorry then," I said as I was walking toward the ledge before Lucas was scooping me into his arms. I shrieked before he was turning me around and he was growling.
"If you think I don't have any interest in you, then you are mistaken," he growled before he was moving us inside. He put me on the bed before he was closing the balcony and locked it. My rope was left forgotten before he turned to look at me, his silver eyes were shining.
"What do you mean? I kissed you and you don't even respond to it. You don't have to lie to me to save my face," I said as I was walking toward the door before Lucas stopped me as he trapped me in his arms.
"You took me by surprise, that's all," he whispered to me as I was hearing his hot breaths near my ear. I was breathing hard before Lucas turned me around and I was looking into his silver eyes.
"Do not leave me tonight," he whispered to me as I was looking at his lips. They were enticing and I wanted to kiss him again.
Only this time, I wanted him to kiss me on his own accord.
"Then, make me stay and I will," I whispered huskily as I was trying to lure him in. He was smirking at me before he was playing with my lower lips as his thumb was caressing them.
"You have no idea of all the things that I wanted to do to you, Ari,"
"Show me then," I said as I was feeling bold and I wanted to. I was staring into his silver eyes before Lucas was coming closer to me.
"Don't say that I don't warn you before," he whispered over my lips before he was claiming my lips like a person that was desperate for it. I was gripping his arms before I was wounding my hands behind his neck and I was pulling him closer.
I moaned when I felt his tongue was slipping out and caressed my lower lips before he was plunging his tongue inside my mouth. He tasted of peppermint and I loved it.
"Ari," he whispered when he was kissing my jaws and neck. I was arching my back before I was looking at the ceiling. So this was what the touch of a man was giving me.
Making me bothered and hot all around.
Then, it felt like I was being washed cold when there was a knock that interrupted us right now. Lucas cursed under his breath before Jenny's voice was coming from behind.
"Ari! I think you have an important call from your boss right now. And I think you need to take it," she said before I was chuckling as I was shaking my head. Jenny truly knows how to be irritating but at the same time was saving me from going further with Lucas.
Even if we did, I would not regret it.
"I think your friend doesn't want me to claim you yet, Ari," Lucas said as he chuckled at me. I was looking into his lovely mercury eyes before I was perking his lips.
"Then, I have to make up for it," I said as I was sliding down my hands on his hard chest. Lucas arched his eyebrow at me.
"Oh? And what will it be this time? I hope it was not another dinner," he said as he was smirking at me, showing me the perfectly lined teeth when I was smacking his chest playfully.
"So, you don't want to have another dinner with me then? Such a shame because I was thinking that this upcoming weekend, I am free and I was hoping to be with someone on that Friday night," I said as I was batting my lashes at Lucas.
"But it seems that I will be dateless so might as well stay in my room for the whole weekend and the lonely nights," I said as I was pulling my hands away before Lucas snatched them and kissed my knuckles.
"I was just joking. So, it's a date then?" He asked as I was smirking at him before Jenny was still pounding on the door.
"Ari, come on. Your phone is making me insane," she said before she was moving toward my room as I sighed.
"But I think tomorrow night will be our official date then," I said as I was looking at Lucas. He was arching his eyebrow before he blinked at me then smirked.
"Wait, don't tell me—"
"Yes, I want you to be my plus one for the Grand Opening of the exhibition. Will you come with me as my date then? I promise I behave," I said as I was batting my lashes to him before Lucas groaned and pulled me into his arms.
"You are driving a very hard bargain, Ms. Contos,'' he said as he was nuzzling my neck. I giggled at his confession.
"And you love me anyway," I said as I was kissing his hair as I was inhaling his masculine scent. He kissed my pulse on the neck before Lucas was looking at me, his mercury eyes were glistening with danger in the darkness.
"Then, I will wait for you patiently until this weekend. Who knows? It might lead to something more," Lucas said as I was laughing at him. I shook my head before I was unlocking the door and I was opening it as Lucas stepped back and he was holding the door for me before I was stepping out into the hallway.
"I see you tomorrow, handsome," I said as I was pulling him for one last kiss. Since we will be going out as each other's dates tomorrow, I don't think this would not be appropriate for me to kiss him in the public.
"Oh my, you work fast, Ms. Contos," Lucas said as he was leaning against the door frame before I was smirking.
"I learned from the best,"
"I wonder who," Lucas said as he was looking at me with his intense eyes. I smirked.
"I see you around,"
