Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

After Jen had her lunch, she slowly walked around the campus to digest her food as she was texting Alex. Alex had looked for her sister since she was a bit bored as waited for Michael to come to the hotel to have lunch with her. 

They talked about miscellaneous things for a while before Jen started walking towards the direction of the library. 

[I'm going to the library; I'll look for you later.] Jen said as she stopped in front of the stairs of the library.

[I never thought I'd hear this hahaha, enjoy your studies] Alex replied. Jen pulled out her phone when she heard it vibrate and quickly read Alex's text and helplessly smiled as she slipped her phone back into her pocket.

She was happy now that her routine was back to normal. She had an assignment she had been working on, and she wanted to at least complete the draft by the end of the day.

Her expression changed as she entered the library, and she made a beeline for the cubicle she normally used to study. After putting her things down, she went to the shelves and picked out the reference books that she needed for her assignment.

As she was walking back, someone collided into her from the side, making her drop the books she was holding in her hand. She frowned in annoyance before going down on one knee and picking up her books. The perpetrator also helped her pick up her things as he apologized repeatedly.

"It's fine," Jen said, as she looked up to see the person who caused the accident as she was taking the books from his hands. The face was familiar, but she didn't know where she had met him before. She cared little about where she had seen him. If she doesn't remember, then it means it's not important.

"What a coincidence," the other party said, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Mmmh, well, I'm quite busy so I'll be going first," Jen said with a straight face brushing off the poor guy without hesitation. He watched her as she disappeared among the shelves of books. 

Jen was mumbling to herself in annoyance as she lamented how she had her time wasted by an unknown person as she deposited the heavy books on her desk.

She sat down heavily and pulled out her notebook from her bag and turned it on. As she waited for it to boot up, she checked her notes and the textbooks she had brought, and soon enough she got to work.

Jen worked with the maximum focus and in three hours she had completed her draft. With a deep breath, she packed up her things and quickly left the library.

She briskly walked towards the parking lot and got into her car before speedily leaving. She kept thinking of how many things she had to do at home the whole way back to the hotel.

Once she got home, she made a beeline for the bedroom and changed into more comfortable clothing and started cleaning. Even though she enjoyed the luxurious facilities, she found the cleaning a bit tiring, even if it was therapeutic for her.

After cleaning the bedroom, she went to deposit the dirty laundry in the laundry room and separated the clothes in batches.

After sorting that out, she continued to clean the rest of the house, the study, the living room, the kitchen, the gym the balconies, and even the unused pool area. By the time she was finished, she was sweating furiously as she lay down on the living room floor.

This was how Lucas found her when he came home. Even though she wanted to sit up, she was too tired to move a muscle. Lucas walked in with his jacket hanging off his arm as he loosened his tie and saw Jen laying on the floor like a dead fish.

"Are you okay?" Lucas asked as he stood next to her looking at her.

"How can you look good even at this angle?" Jen asked as she looked at him from below, making Lucas laugh.

"What have you been up to?" he asked as she got down on one knee and touched her sweaty forehead.

"I was cleaning, but this is a workout in of itself. I just want to sleep now," Jen whined miserably.

"Have you eaten?" he asked with a smile. He had told her many times to let the hotel deal with it but she refused to have people contaminate their 'nest', as she put it.

"I had lunch," Jen said and smiled brightly at him while she panted. He chuckled helplessly at her silly expression.

"I'll be in charge of dinner, you will have to relax in the bathtub for a while," Lucas said and touched her hair.

"Sure, I just need to catch my breath, you go first," she said to him as she waved him off. Lucas stood up with a warm smile and went to their room. He took a quick shower and went to get dressed. As he left the dressing room, Jen entered their bedroom. 

"The tub is filling up, don't take too long and don't forget to turn on the jets," Lucas said to her. Jen smiled at him thankfully as she dragged her body directly to the bathroom. 

He went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to see what he could make. He was also tired from work but he didn't have to clean the house so he was being considerate to Jen's efforts. If they were both just feeling lazy, then he would have just ordered room service for them.

He picked out the things he needed and promptly started prepping his ingredients. Jen, on the other hand, was moaning in relief in the hot tub as the water jets hit her sore muscles.

She felt like she was being comforted and rewarded for her hard day of work. If only she had a glass of wine. She would have sipped on it while enjoying this luxury before slipping into bed afterwards.

She knew Lucas was downstairs alone, so she didn't dally around for too long and got out of the tub after thirty minutes. She dried herself off and went to blow dry her hair and got dressed before going downstairs to join him.

Lucas was tossing the salad when he felt a pair of arms hug him around his waist from behind.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked as he tried to look back at her. Jen stood on her toes and kissed the side of his jaw before nodding.

"That's good then, are you hungry?" Lucas asked as he looked forward once more.

"I wasn't until you asked me," Jen said as she went to stand next to him to take a good look at his face.

"Oh? Did I make you hungry?" Lucas said as he took a step to stand in front of her. Jen laughed at how suggestive he was being.

"Can you let me off for a day?" Jen asked and put her arms around his neck and looked up at him.

"Your lips are saying one thing, but your body is saying another," Lucas said as he placed both his hands on the kitchen counter, trapping her body between his arms before stepping back a bit and leaning down.contemporary romance

"You still owe me a kiss," Lucas said with a naughty smile on his face that made his dimples make an appearance. Jen leaned forward a bit and pecked his lips.

"Will that do?" she asked him as she teased him back.

"No," Lucas said, and she gave him another peck on his lips, but he shook his head to show his dissatisfaction. She then pecked his lips several more times until Lucas brought up one of his hands to hold her head in place and directly slipped his tongue in her mouth.

Jen let out a muffled sound of surprise before cooperating with him. She didn't expect him to skip all pleasantries and just get to the point.

She teasingly nipped and sucked on his tongue, making him take a deep breath as if he was trying to restrain himself. He roughly bit her bottom lip and although it was not painful, it stung a bit. It was like he was warning her not to push him too far. 

Jen smiled into the kiss and chose to let him do what he wants. They still had to eat anyway, there was no point in getting both of them so excited just to be left hanging.

When Lucas released her, they were both panting. He had been feeling a sense of urgency since he met his father today; he thought that he had little time before, but after today's lunch, it just felt that his time was even shorter than he had imagined, especially since he had wrapped up one of the four projects he directly in charge of today.

Jen noticed that Lucas' gaze was not normal, and she furrowed her brows with worry. She touched his slightly stubbled cheek as she looked up at him with questions in her eyes.

"Is something up?" she asked as her fingers stroked his ear.

"I wish I could take you away with me, I don't think I'll be able to…" Lucas left his sentence hanging. Even though he did not finish his sentence, Jen knew what he wanted to say, and she has been ignoring that sense of desperation he was feeling this whole time.

"It'll be alright," Jen said calmly and hugged him in comfort. In reality, she was hiding her watery eyes from him.
