Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 272: Brian!

Rachel opened the front door and Brian was standing on the other side. She was surprised that he was there because she was on the phone with him just a few minutes ago.

"Were you already on your way here?" Rachel asked. However, Brian did not bother responding and instead walked into the house. Rachel watched his actions in confusion and after a few seconds of seemingly listening for something, his body visibly relaxed.

"What is it?" Rachel asked curiously, she did not understand his actions at all. Brian closed the door behind him and looked at her.

"Is Laura in?" he asked and Rachel shook her head to show that she wasn't around. Only then did he notice what she was wearing. He was used to seeing her completely covered so it was quite rare to see her wearing clothing that showed off the skin. 

"You look cute," Brian said and pointedly looked at her from head to toe. Rachel felt her face get hotter and she lightly smacked his chest from embarrassment. Before she could remove her hand, Brian caught it in his hand and pulled her flush against him and landed a kiss on her forehead.

"Brian you-" Rachel started but was lost for words when his lips landed on the tip of her nose before he continued kissing her cheek to the side of her face and Rachel couldn't stop the giggle that escaped her lips.

He ended up kissing her whole face as she was giggling. She wrapped her hands around his firm waist and grabbed his t-shirt as she looked up at him. He always did this and she always let him because she couldn't help but think of how he was spoiling her with how affectionate he was being.

"You've started again, I-" Rachel said a bit breathless. Brian didn't stop but instead kissed the corner of her mouth and Rachel turned her head tactfully so her lips connected with his.

Brian smiled because of her actions and pecked her lips once before he kissed her deeply. Rachel kissed him back with a lot of enthusiasm that immediately made the atmosphere heated.

Brian held on to Rachel's waist and walked further into the house. Rachel could only stumble back because she was walking backwards.

She soon found herself lying on the couch on her back her legs wrapped around his waist with her hands clinging on to his firm shoulders.

Unlike Lucas, Brian was toned because of how he used his body. It was undeniable that he worked out but his workouts were purposely for functionality rather than aesthetics. So his body was rock solid.

His kisses trailed down the side of her face to her neck and Rachel released a shaky breath. She did not discourage him but rather put her fingers through his hair in encouragement. He scraped his teeth across the sensitive skin of her neck and she couldn't stop the small moan that escaped her lips.

Contrary to her expectations, Brian suddenly stopped teasing her and gave her a few pecks on her lips before looking at her and smiling. Rachel was a bit disappointed but she still smiled back.

"I missed you," Brian said and kissed her cheek.

"You saw me like two days ago," Rachel said but she couldn't keep the cheeky smile she had a secret. Brian really spoiled her. If her friends saw this side of him they would probably think he is an imposter because he always looked serious and was always silent but he always acted like a huge teddy bear whenever he was with her.

"Mmh, that's why I missed you. Sorry, I couldn't help you move today" Brian said as he lightly stroked her cheek. She felt his calloused fingers on her skin and she held his hand as she looked into his black eyes.

"It's alright, I didn't have too much to do," Rachel said as she looked at him.

"Are you done unpacking yet?" Brian asked as he looked around the house. As he was doing so, Rachel became hyper-aware of their positions. If by some chance Laura chose this moment to return she could guarantee that she would never live it down.

"I'm almost done. Are you hungry?" Rachel asked Brian, mostly because she wanted to get out of their current positions. 

"I'm actually hungry. I came here straight from the airport" Brian said his gaze focussing on her face once more. He playfully nipped her bottom lip when noticed she was avoiding his eyes and got off of her.

"I'll fix something up for you quickly," Rachel said as she sat up on the sofa.

Brian stood up with Rachel and hugged her waist as he trailed behind her on her way to the kitchen.

"I'll give you a hand," Brian said but when Rachel got an apple from the fridge and handed it to him she pushed him to sit on one of the bar stools on the other side of the kitchen counter. Brian chuckled but did not push to help her anymore and obediently sat down to eat his apple.

Rachel could feel his eyes follow her around as she was moving around the kitchen. She decided to ignore him otherwise she would end up cutting herself as she was preparing ingredients.

"How long will you be around this time?" Rachel asked Brian. She knew that he was freer than normal as normal people in the military would not be out for so long.

"I won't be going back unless it's urgent," Brian said. He was not keen on being in the military but they refused to let him go. He decided to just cooperate when it came to missions that were high profile or needed his set of skills which were not very common.

"So you'll be around for a while, huh?" Rachel said and turned to look at him only to catch him staring at her ass. He was not to be blamed as it was the first time he ever saw wearing shorts.

"Brian!" Rachel said and he looked at her innocently, as if he wasn't doing something mischievous.
