Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 277: Hot Chocolate

Jen quickly did her dishes and made two mugs of hot chocolate and carried them upstairs to Lucas' study. She couldn't knock, so she opened the door with her elbow and went inside before using her foot to close the door.

Lucas looked up at her and saw that she was still in a bathrobe. He checked the time and saw that it had already been two hours since she left his office. He removed his glasses as he leaned back on his office chair.

"Are you still busy?" Jen asked cautiously as she walked towards him. She did not want to bother him or be a distraction, that was why she asked.

"No, I'm done with today's quota, I was just going through the things I have to do tomorrow," Lucas said as he placed his glasses on the desk in front of him.

"I made you some hot chocolate," Jen said as she walked towards him and placed the black mug in front of him.

"Thank you," Lucas said as he moved forward to take the mug. He took a small sip, and he felt his body being warmed by the drink. It was not sickly sweet, but savoury instead. He looked up at Jen, who was leaning against his desk while warming her hands with the mug she was holding in her hands.

"This tastes amazing," Lucas said with a smile, flashing her his charming dimples.

"It's the least I could do since you've been the one busy cooking this entire week," Jen said as she returned his smile.

"I already told you how you can return that favour, haven't I?" Lucas said and placed the mug back on his desk before reaching out for Jen's hand. Jen took his hand as she too placed the mug she was holding in her hands on the desk before let herself get pulled towards him.

"Are you cold?" Lucas asked as he saw that she wasn't walking around in one of his shirts like she normally did. He was even suspicious that she was wearing his robe as it looked to be too big to be hers.

"Mmh, a bit," Jen said as she sat on his lap once more. His arms surrounded her, and she found herself in his warm embrace. She comfortably leaned on his chest as she enjoyed his warmth.

"Dress warmer so you don't catch a cold. The temperatures have been dropping" Lucas said and tugged on the towel on her head, releasing her long locks of hair. Her hair was not dripping wet but was only slightly damp.

"You should also stop walking around with wet hair," Lucas said. It was something that he had talked to her about frequently. She would be more prone to getting a cold now since the temperatures were changing.

Jen said nothing because everything she came up with just sounded like excuses even to her. She heard him sigh in frustration and then felt him dry her hair with the towel he had just removed from her head.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Lucas asked as he continued gently running the towel through the strands of her hair.

"No, I haven't arranged anything, do you have something in mind?" Jen asked as she looked up at Lucas. Lucas looked at her face for a bit too long and stroked her cheek, making her feel slightly embarrassed.

"Why are you looking at me so intensely? Is there something on my face?" Jen asked as she brought her hand up to wipe on her cheek.

"Let's go out for lunch tomorrow," Lucas said after a short chuckle. Jen became confused for a moment before she finally processed what Lucas was saying to her.

"Ah, okay," Jen said after a short pause. It had been a while since the two of them had gone out on a date, so she was happy he suggested that they go out on a date. As she was busy having happy thoughts, Lucas' hand had slipped into her robe. Jen jumped when she felt him touch her thighs.

"What are you doing?" Jen asked with wide eyes. How did he even sneak his hands into her bathrobe?

"My hands are a bit cold, I'll just warm them for a second" Lucas said and his hands went even higher up her thighs than they were before. Jen's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Lucas. Where were his hands cold? They were obviously warming up her skin even as they were speaking.

"Aren't you just taking advantage of me?" Jen asked as she grabbed both of his hands so they wouldn't go higher. Unfortunately, she lost miserably to Lucas in terms of strength.

"Am I? Oh, I didn't know you weren't wearing anything under this" Lucas said when he didn't feel any underwear as his hands were going up from her thighs to the sides of her waist. Jen felt her face grow warmer from his comment but decided not to respond to him as he would tease her about it even more.

From the way Lucas was fondling her, it was inevitable that the robe would loosen, and as a result, the front of it was gaping open. The cool air in the study made goosebumps rise on her skin, and her nipples harden.

"You promised to make it up to me about something, what do you think of starting now?" Lucas asked as he kissed her along her neck. He dropped the towel he had been using to dry her hair on the floor, and her slightly damp hair tickled the side of his face.

"Mmh," Jen said as she involuntarily shivered because of what he was doing to her. Lucas took that as a yes and turned her body around so that she was facing him. Jen placed her hands on his shoulders for balance and looked into his hazel eyes. 

Lucas looked back at her and moved closer to her. Jen could tell that he had probably reached his limit at this point because their sex life was pretty much non-existent during the past week. In all honesty, it was not one-sided as she too had missed him.

"Lucas" Jen called making Lucas focus his gaze on her once more.

"Mmh?" he responded.

"Kiss me already," Jen said impatiently, making Lucas give a short, sexy chuckle.
