Lucian initially wanted to talk things through with Lucifer before proceeding with his advances. However, with Lucifer still unconscious, he found it impossible to stay away from Alexa. He felt an irresistible magnetic pull between him and Alexa. A second away from her felt like a lifetime stuck in a deep empty pit.
Meanwhile, Alexa lowered her gaze from his to hide the blushed expression on her face. His words came as unexpectedly as an accident.
"Get a hold of yourself damn it!" She scolded herself. Still, she couldn't help but ponder the meaning of his words, why did it seem he was smitten by her?, why did his words seem romantic rather than a simple jest?
"Hello handsome," Skylar chimed in with a bright smile coming to play between her lips stained red with red lipstick. She couldn't believe how insanely beautiful the stranger was and quite frankly couldn't blame Alexa for crushing hard on this handsome devil, I mean who wouldn't?, he was perfect in every word of its sense.
Lucian turned his sights to Skylar, "I'm Skylar, but you can call me Sky," She told stretching her hands for a handshake which Lucian took
"Lucian, pleasure to meet you,"
"Oh please pleasure's all mine," She told with heated cheeks which irked Alexa as she sent a hard glare at Skylar. Tsk..she wished Lucifer had tagged along, he was the more handsome brother and perhaps might steal Skylar's attention instead.
"Do you mind?, I'm kind of busy here," Alexa said with a frown earning a chuckle from Skylar. Although she couldn't deny Lucian was a feast for the eyes, she wouldn't possibly crush on her sister's man. She simply wanted to taunt and tease her sister.
"Oh my!," She gasped, "busy with what?, don't tell me you two are going to F...."
"Okay that's enough," Alexa said letting out an awkward laugh, placing her hands over Skylar's mouth to keep her shut and save her from further embarrassment.
"There's no need to be ashamed, we are two grown adults aren't we sunshine?,"
"Huh?," Alexa tilted her gaze to meet his smiling face that held mischief. What was he doing?, was he trying to kill her with embarrassment?, cause it was definitely working
"If you won't mind Sky, could you give us some privacy," He asked politely
"Huh a gorgeous gentleman with manners, how...rare," She thought with a smile, "Fine, I'll go help Father with the books, you two...have fun," She winked at Alexa before walking away leaving both Alexa and Lucian alone
"Are you in love with me?," His sudden question earned a loud gasp and jolt of shock from Alexandra. One thing was certain with Lucian, he had a talent for surprises.
"Huh?, in love?, me?, you?, what?, no, yes...I mean no, of course not," She stuttered her words while Lucian let out a breathtaking smile.
"Breathe sunshine," He told again while Alexa frowned at how weak she was to his advances and his presence. Usually she was quick-witted and impossible to intimidate, yet here she was, acting like a thirteen-year-old talking to her crush for the first time.
"Why would you even ask that?," She asked taking in deep breaths
"You've been staring at anything but my face, your hands, and feet can't seem to stop shaking like you are having an orgasm, you keep playing with your hair, you keep biting your lips like you want a deep passionate kiss,"
"...." Speechless at his words, she stared unblinkingly at Lucian amazed at his character. Did he just list his reasons for assuming she was in love with him so shamelessly?, She couldn't understand him, he seemed so socially void, yet, was able to ignite one's emotions with his simple, ridiculously properly executed words.
"You are a very strange man Lucian," She said bursting out in laughter. He was hilarious even without trying.
"Good you're laughing and finally at ease, now we can have a proper conversation," Once again he took her off guard with his words, was he seriously trying to get her to ease up the whole time?, she couldn't tell if he was a genius with a high social IQ or was simply a weirdo?
"Get off your high horse prince charming, you don't intimidate me," She couldn't let herself be caught so easily, she wouldn't let herself appear cheap and desperate like the numerous other women he's probably had until now.
Lucian however ignored her words. He smiled at her adorable reaction, pinched her across the cheeks, and leaned forward, inching closer to her face which increased her heartbeat
"How about now?," He asked, his face inclining toward hers
"N...no," She muttered gazing at his red dazzling approaching lips as her heart paced quicker
"And now?," He whispered seductively leaning closer. His breath blew against her skin which sent goosebumps. She felt aroused and paralyzed to the spot. It was as though he had charmed her into the spot and all she could do was watch his face with excitement and anxiety. Muttering her last bit of strength, she slowly turned her gaze to the counter which was stopped midway by Lucian's hands on her chin.
"Don't look away sunshine, there's no one else but us," He told. Distracted and lost in the moment, she had failed to notice Skylar take Mr Oliver into his office. There was no one left but them in the room.
"I...I can't," She whispered watching his lips get closer to hers yet was unable to do anything. The sun had set, and the stars had begun to twinkle in the night sky. His golden irises seemed to dance in the moonlight, and she couldn't help but feel drawn to him. Her heart was racing, and she could feel her palms getting sweaty.
She took a deep breath as Lucian leaned closer, gently taking her face in his hands. She closed her eyes as his lips touched hers, a soft and tender kiss that deepened into a hungry and erotic kiss as her lips parted ways to invite his warm tongue which ravaged and danced in unison with hers.
She felt short of breath but couldn't stop. His taste was like an addictive drug as she ran her fingers over his smooth and sexy face while he ran his over her slender figure down her butt earning a loud moan from Alexa.
The taste of Alexa's lips felt like a warm embrace on a cold day as it wrapped him entirely and filled him with a sense of tranquility and contentment. It was like the sun breaking through the clouds after a long, dreary day illuminating his dark and gloomy world.
All his life, all he had known was pain and suffering, yet here he was, in the brightest of arms, tasting the fountain of life itself. He wished it would last for eternity.
For what felt like an eternity, they were lost in each other. They explored each other's mouths, their hands entwining and roaming across each other's bodies. There was a warmth between them, the electricity that made her feel alive as she slowly pulled away and looked into his eyes, a smile on his coming to settle on his gorgeous face.
"Fuck what have I done?," She cursed with widened eyes
