Page 86 of Lilly
Chapter Eighteen
Lucas
The hoteland the house were well planned. The proposal was a little more of a spur of the moment thing. I realised Friday night that I never want to be without her again. So the first thing I did Monday morning when she thought I was going to the hotel was head into town to a few jewellery shops. That was an experience. I must have looked so lost after all the questions that had been thrown at me in the first shop that the shop assistant took pity on me and explained everything I might ever need to know about rings and diamonds. She didn’t need to tell me all that though, because I knew the one the second I laid eyes on it. It was a simple 1.5 carat, brilliant cut diamond on a platinum band. Okay, so maybe I did listen to her diamond master class. She seemed pretty happy about my choice, although I’m pretty sure that had something to do with the hefty commission I’m sure she’ll get from thesale.
Waiting for Dec to arrive with Lilly was the most painful wait of my life. I was fairly confident she would love the hotel—after all, she designed almost every inch of the place—but waiting to see the look on her face when she walked into the bedroom was hell. The same can’t be said for letting her walk ahead into what is going to be our new home. I knew that ring was sat on the worktop and I was so nervous I could have thrown up. I never get nervous, ever. But there I was, feeling like a right pussy in case my girl turned me down. Let’s face it, she had every right to after what I’ve put herthrough.
We fall silent as I pull the car to a stop back outside the hotel again. Lilly has only said a handful of words of the drive back. I’m hoping she’s just overwhelmed by everything and not having secondthoughts.
Before I get to say anything, she’s out of the car and heading towards the main doors. I jog up behind her and grab her hand. My thumb rubs over the new piece of jewellery wrapped about her finger and my stomach flips over. She’s going to be mywife.
“Are youokay?”
“I’m a little overwhelmed, Luc. This was all a bit of a shock but I’m good. I’m more than good, actually.” The smile she gives me when she looks up at me warms my entirebody.
The second we step into the lift, she presses her front to me—as best she can with the bump—and places her lips to mine. When I feel her tongue run along my bottom lip, a bolt of electricity shoots down my spine. It’s been so long since I’ve kissed her properly, held her, lovedher.
“I need you,” I mutter against herlips.
She doesn’t respond. Instead, she kisses me deeper as her hands run down my back and cup my arse. I completely lose myself to the kiss and to images of what I want to do to her that are running through my head. It’s not until I feel her pull back and grab my hand that I realise the lift doors are open. She pulls me out and down towards the room. She doesn’t stop in the living area like I expect her to; she just keeps going until we’re in thebedroom.
I stop by the door as I shut it behind me and watch her continue over to the bed. Lilly doesn’t waste any time. She slips her flip-flops off before pulling her dress up and over her head. It gets thrown of the floor before she turns back towardsme.
My hands clench at my side as I take her in. She was always beautiful, but now, with my babies growing inside her…Fuck. She looks unbelievable. Her tits are fuller and her bellyrounded.
“Are you sure about this?” I ask, trying to do the right thing. She said she wanted to take it slow and I’m more than happy to do that. Ithink.
“I’m sure, Luc. I need this, you,please.”
She hasn’t finished talking and I already have my suit jacket and tie off. I’m halfway through undoing the buttons when I step up in front of her and she bats my hands away to continue herself. Once it’s undone, she runs her hands up the length of my exposed skin before pushing the fabric from my shoulders. The feel of her hands against my skin has me containing a groan. I can’t even put into words how much I’ve missed her and hertouch.
She immediately goes for the waistband of my trousers. Her slim hands fumble with the button and I take over forher.
“You’re in a hurry,” I comment as she sits back on the bed in her laceunderwear.
“You’ve no idea what these two have done tome.”
“Oh yeah?” I ask with a smirk. I read all about raging hormones and their sideeffects.
“Yeah. I’ve needed you for weeks,” she says, and the little reminder is like a knife to my heart. Although I know she doesn’t mean it, ithurts.
“Well then, let’s see what we can do to help you out. Hands and knees,” Idemand.
She immediately does as she’s told and I reach out to pull the fabric of her knickers down over her arse and off her ankles. I drop my trousers and boxers before adding them and my socks to our pile ofclothing.
I look at Lilly lying there, squirming as she waits for me, and I can’t help but think of the difference from the first time we were together. She was a little unsure of herself then. Right now though, she is anything but. She knows exactly what she wants, what sheneeds.
I lower down and blow a gentle stream of air across her sensitive skin. I see her whole body shutter at thesensation.
“Are you ready for this, Lilly?” I ask. My nose is so close to her centre that the smell of her makes my mouth water for ataste.
“Yes.” Her voice is already a little husky, like I’ve had her screaming forme.
I blow out again just to see her reaction, but I can’t hold off any longer and I latch my mouth on to her clit. She says she needs this so I’m going to have her crying out in a matter ofminutes.
“Lucas, oh my god. Luc,” she whimpers as I continue lick and suck at her clit. When I slide a finger insider her, she starts chanting, “Yes, yes,yes.”
“I fucking love how much you want this,” I admit when I pull back for asecond.
