Jessica's POV
A week had passed already and Luke had been extra possessive for the week. If I ever wanted to go out or sit on the balcony, he followed and carried me everywhere and treated me like a baby.
My wounds were healed and I had no problem walking around by the fourth day and I was walking around freely when Luke came, running and carried me to bed.
I'd never expected Luke to be such a gentle person so it amazed me, every time he would make time to hang around with me and take care of me.
For the past few days, I told him that I can work in bed if I can't walk around but he went against it. I'm about to die out of boredom by now because Luke won't allow me to do the things I want to do and Rose is busy with Tyler, taking care of her kingdom.
Someone knocked on the door and I let them in. Maids came inside with piles of food and I didn't have the appetite to eat. For the whole week, I've been eating and sleeping. That's all I did and I didn't even wanna eat anymore. I was about to ask them to take those away when Luke walked inside with his laptop.
"I know how much you've wanted to do things other than staying in bed. I will be a gentleman and allow you to walk around for a bit from today." He said and I sat up straight on my bed, not believing my ears.
"Really?" "When did I ever lie to you?" He rolled his eyes and passed his laptop for me to take a look at the files inside.
"I've sorted them out and summarized most of the things that happened this week. Read those after you are done with your lunch. You can't go out or do anything without eating them." He stood up and walked out, leaving me excited.
I don't even remember what I ate because my mind was only to finish them so I could get the work done and stroll around the building.
When I was done with lunch, I walked around where people greeted me everywhere I went. Xavier updated me briefly about the next attack and the current situation of the two empires.
Apparently, we were getting ready to attack the headquarter of American Mafia and get rid of them, once and for all.
The upcoming mission was very important and grand just as it suggested. I frowned upon hearing it but this day would come sooner or later. After all, the alliance I built with Luke is for this mission. It's best for all of us since we can go back to being enemies after everything is over.
Luke had people evade other weaponry ships while I was sick and William have been going crazy according to the reports sent by our spies.
I walked inside my office and the wall between the two of our offices was on, separating both of the offices. I sat at my desk and turned on my computer.
I was going through the files that were sent to me during my absence when someone placed a cup of hot chocolate next to me.
I stopped reading the file and looked up, to see Luke towering over me with his arms crossed.
I looked infront of me and the wall was lifted. While I was eyeing the wall, Luke brough a chair and sat next to me, making me look at him with a confused face.
He then pointed at my laptop as if telling me to continue reading and I averted my gaze to continue reading the files after giving Luke a once over.
As I kept reading, he got closer to the point where I could feel his breath on my neck. I turned around to be face-to-face with Luke who was merely a few centimeters away from my face.
I got alerted and pushed myself away from him, maintaining a distance from him.
"What do you think you're doing by getting that close to me?" I asked him and he slouched on his chair.
"I was just reading the file you were reading. Does my presence bother you?" His lips tugged at the very end and I rolled my chair to my desk so I could continue reading.
"Keep your distance please. By the way, what does this mean in this line?" I asked him by pointing at the line with my mouse.
"Which one?" I could feel Luke getting closer and soon, his face was right next to mine, staring at the screen and I subconsciously held my breath.
"This file records the types of weapons we got for the last week of evading the American ship." He stated and held my mouse, which I had previously held on.
With my hand in his, he scrolled the bar and he was eyeing the file but my mind was somewhere else.
"The statistics seem to be wrong. I will have my men revise it. The others seem pretty fine." He spoke, his eyes still strained on the screen and when I turned my head, my nose touched his cheek, making him turn his head to look at me.
Our eyes met and his breath fanned my face, his cologne making me almost melt to the floor at how amazing it smelt.
He stared at me with the same intensity as I was staring and it felt like everything around me stopped and it was just the two of us left in the whole world. From close proximity, I was once again awestruck by how handsome he looked.
Luke broke our eye contact and he stared at my lips which made me open my mouth a bit. I flinched when his thumb caressed my lower lip and I let out a shaky breath. I couldn't bring myself to push him away when my head was screaming at me to do the right thing.
But at that point, I didn't know what was the right thing to do.
"Your lips look so tempting and that chocolate on your lips isn't helping." His eyes fluttered open and stared at me with so much intensity that I couldn't speak.
"What's holding you back?" I asked him with a shaky voice.
"You."
"Your consent." He stated as he stared at my lips again. I then smiled and said something I shouldn't have. Something I might regret for the rest of my life.
"Do it."
As soon as I said it, he captured my lips in his without any hesitation. His hands roamed around my body, feeling my curves as I leaned on to him, not getting enough of him.
It was a fierce battle between us, trying to dominate each other but I gave in when he wasn't giving me any room to dominate him. I walked over to his chair and straddled him as we kissed.
I let out a moan when he forced my mouth open and plunged his sweet tongue inside my mouth and stared exploring my mouth. I tugged on his hair when my stomach was going crazy with all the butterfly which made him groan.
His deep groan did splendors to me as I clang to him even more if that was possible. But both of us had to part for air and when I broke the kiss to get some air, Luke didn't even spend a second catching his breath as he put his head between my shoulder and neck and started to give me wet kisses.
He kept sucking and nibbling on my sweet spot and I was a moaning mess. It didn't take much time for Luke to find my sweet spot and I was going jelly as he continued his sweet torture on my neck.
Luke stood up and laid me on my desk, standing between my legs and his lustful eyes stared at me as if I was his prey.
Luke leaned in and I was too when a knock stopped both of us on our way and we stared at each other with widened eyes. He got off me and made as much distance as he could.
I tried my best to hide my flustered self as I got off and walked towards the door. When I opened it, there stood Xavier with a worried expression.
"Boss, we've got a problem. Damon's on his death bed right now." Color drained from my face when he said it and whatever happened between me and Luke was long forgotten.
"What do you mean? How did this happen?" I shut the door behind me as Xavier led the way.
Cars were waiting for me and I went inside after taking a look at the building. When I got inside, I could see Luke running out of the building and staring at the car that led me to the airport.
"What happened to him?" I asked him worried, after all, he's the only blood related relative I've left and I can't lose him just yet.
"It seems like William got agitated and as he knows he can't attack us and Russians easily, he sent men to kill him. Kate and Fiona are safe thanks to Damon who shielded them to protect them." Looking at Xavier getting sad and concerned, I couldn't help myself as thoughts of me seeing him dead haunted me.
"No, I believe Damon's strong enough to stay alive. I know he is strong and he will survive." I told him but it just came out as a whisper, that I was just trying to tell myself rather than Xavier or anyone else.
If I find him dead, the jackass will wish that he never made such an impulsive decision ever in his life. I will make him regret his reason for being born on this earth till the very last day of his death.
And that's a promise that I make to myself and Damon.
I won't let anyone get away after harming my beloved one because I am not weak anymore. I have the power to protect myself and the ones I love so if anyone dares to hurt them, I will make them regret everything they have done for the rest of their lives.
