"What?" Haven's voice almost reached the roof.
"Shhh, Haven. Don't scream loudly. Mrs. Morgan will hear you," Lucas repeated her words from last night.
After the lustful time they had last night, Lucas stayed back at Haven's house. They were well spent and had dozed off to deep slumber within minutes.
And it was morning, when Lucas revealed the catch in his offer to help Haven become a Dominatrix. Haven was in a position where she might discard Lucas and find her way through the BDSM community, but definitely not this catch. Every dominant had to go through a training as a submissive to a already existing dominant to understand the submissive's life better.
A part of Haven's heart said, go find a new Dom. But another part said, it's better to choose Lucas since she has already been naked in front of him, physically and emotionally.
The reason of Haven's loud voice was this, the way to become a Dominatrix. She had sworn to take control of her life. If it started from the bed, then let it be, is what she had decided.
Haven turned from her seat to look at Lucas. He was still in her bed, naked.
"I am leaving for work. Get your ass out if the bed. I'll drop you home, unless you want to stay here and warm my bed until I come back."
Lucas burst out into loud laughter.
"Spunky much. I like that."
Haven exited her room with a bright smile and blush spread across her face.
Lucas got out of the bed with the thought of convincing Haven to become his submissive. It didn't matter today or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
They had breakfast with utter and Lucas' silent teasing. Since Haven knew Lucas liked her cooking skills, she had cooked more.
Lucas was still wearing his jacket, when they exited her house and Haven was locking the door.
"Haven," they heard a voice from the next door.
Haven had wished to not run into Mrs. Morgan this morning. But now, it is happening exactly the opposite of what she wished for.
She turned to the old lady, smiling awkwardly.
"Good morning, Mrs. Morgan," Lucas greeted.
Mrs. Morgan smiled awkwardly and returned his greetings, "Good morning, young man."
"Um… he's Lucas. A.. friend of mine," Haven did the introduction.
"Oh," that's all the old woman could say. She surely knew Haven didn't have that many boys friends and definitely not someone who would stay at her place over night and comes out slipping his clothes in the morning.
Haven spoke right then, "Um… We gotta go Mrs. Morgan. I'll meet you in the evening."
"Sure, Haven. Take care,"
"You too,"
Haven dragged Lucas by his wrist and pushed him inside her car and got herself settled in the driver's seat.
Lucas took all the pleasure in teasing Haven and how flustered she was when Mrs. Morgan saw him.
"What happened?" he asked, trying to tease her more.
"You are getting on my nerves," she said, starting the engine.
"Oh really,"
She totally ignored him and drove towards his home.
On the way to Lucas' home, he played the song from the radio and grooved to it. Enjoying the morning drive. But that wasn't the same for Haven. She was sure Mrs. Morgan would have talked about this with Olivia by now. And she had to face Olivia right after logging in at work. And had to give details about the man who was at her house. Haven contemplated about how much exclusivity she should disclose to Olivia and Mrs. Morgan. It's not like she was scared of them, she just didn't want them to think she's like a harmonal teenager who went around fucking a random guy.
She stopped the car in front of Lucas' house and turned to him. He did too.
"So… when we will be seeing each other again?" He asked. He wasn't the one to let go of her easily. He was determined to make Haven his.
"I don't think we'll ever meet again," she tried to out on an attitude facade.
Lucas smiled at her act. "Sure, sweetheart."
He got off the car and made his way to his home, sending a flying kiss to Haven before entering the door.
Haven left an enormous sigh, what will she do now. She drove to her office thinking and trying to frame something to tell to Olivia. If only her friend was dumb, she'd believe Haven.
Haven swiped her work ID and got into the elevator, only to be met with a sheepishly smiling Vincent.
"Hey, Haven,"
"Ah hey,"
"How are you doing this morning?"
"Good,"
"Did you have breakfast? If not we could grab a quick bite."
"I had a hearty breakfast,"
"Are you free in the weekend? We can catch up sometime."
"I have plans with my boyfriend,"
Vincent laughed and it was offensive to Haven.
"I heard that James cheated on you. Did you find a new boyfriend already?"
Haven wasn't shocked to know Vincent was aware of her relationship status. In fact she expected the entire office to know about it. Because James had friends here and was very well known to be dating sweet Haven.
Haven gritted her teeth and said, "Yes. I found a new boyfriend."
Vincent's jaw dropped too low. He hadn't expected that from Haven. Not just him, not Mrs. Morgan nor Olivia. No one would ever expect Haven to move on and jump into a new relationship just like that.
The elevator dinged at their floor and Haven got out first and walked to her work place.
There she was, Olivia. Sitting on Haven's chair and waiting for her friend.
Great. Just great. Haven thought. Now she had one more explanation to do.
