Chapter 15

Cailley

I gave out a shaky moan as Lucas lightly bit on my lower lip.  We were kissing hungrily, greedily—for I had no idea how long but one thing was clear:  I didn’t want to stop.

Gooseflesh was on my skin as his sensuous mouth grazed my cheek and slowly made its way to my ear.  He started nibbling on it and it was tickling me but it felt so good at the same time.  I shut my eyes tightly and tried convincing myself that all this was happening.

Because something this mind-blowing only transpired in dreams.  And I didn’t want to wake up yet.

“I want you, Cailley.  Only you,” he breathed as I felt his hand lightly stroke the back of my head.

I shuddered at his words and at the feel of his nose now trailing its way on the side of my jaw.

“I missed you.  I missed this…”  He sighed and stopped on the space under my ear and sucked the minute amount of air in.  “And you smell so good…  You feel so good…”

I was in euphoria.  I couldn’t speak.  I was so afraid to ruin the moment.  The feel of his arm around me, his hand gripping my head, his kisses, his declaration…  It was all incredibly surreal.  Like I was living in a fantasy,  as if everything was just a figment of my imagination and when I opened my eyes, I would be back in my room at Shannon’s with my knees on the floor and my head on the bed cushions.

“Lucas… what… are we doing…?” I rasped.  His attention was now concentrated on that small, sensitive area below my earlobe and I could already sense the hair in my arms going up.  He’s too good.

“Cailley… I’m so crazy about you…”  He finally wrapped my body in a secure embrace and buried his face in the crook of my neck and exhaled.

I easily forgot where we were.  I didn’t even notice the people passing by.  I was oblivious to the curious glances, the bug-eyed expressions.  It was just me and Lucas, enclosed in our own little cocoon.

Some moments later, I forced myself to lift my head from his broad chest.  Lucas slowly raised his, too, and stared deeply into my eyes.  His brows were crinkled and his eyes held a look of sublime happiness.

“What is it, baby?”  He brushed a strand of hair on my face and just held my head firmly so I wouldn’t look away from him.

“Lucas…  I’m scared.  We shouldn’t be doing this.  I’m your niece’s nanny; I’m under your sister’s employment… It’s against the rules.  And you’re with Blair.  She’s your girlfriend…  Oh, Lucas… This is wrong.”  I admitted, shaking my head.  New tears were starting to form in my eyes and I blinked and swallowed hard to control them.

He cradled my head back on his chest and soothingly stroked my back while he swayed our bodies unhurriedly from side to side.  He positioned his mouth on my ear and lightly brushed its tip.

“Don’t be.  Because I’m not.  Shannon will understand, believe me, she will.  And Lizzie doesn’t have to know… Yet.  But I’m sure both of them would be surprised.  And glad.”  He gave a warm chuckle that sent butterflies down my stomach.

“And as for Blair…” His cheerful mien suddenly turned serious and he placed his hands on both sides of my face while those hypnotic, vivid greys bore into me.  “Cailley… I’m breaking up with her.  I promise, the day she comes back from her assignment, I’ll talk to her.  I’ve thought about it and I just—I just couldn’t do it today.  It would all be so sudden for her if I did it now and she’ll be crushed…  I know she would be either way but, I just don’t want to do it while she’s about to go away on assignment.  I hope you’ll trust me?  On this?”  His eyes were closely searching mine, hoping for an answer.

How could I say no to Lucas?  He was so sincere, so fully intent on making this new thing with us work, that I had no choice but to nod.

“I trust you.”  Was my conclusive reply.  I was leaving my fate in his hands.

Lucas breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.   Wiping the traces of tears on my face he murmured, “Then don’t cry.  I don’t ever want to see you cry.”  And with that last sentence hanging in the air, he bent down and pressed his lips once more on mine.  I wrapped my arms tightly around him, and boy, did it feel wonderful.

That’s it guys! And the rest of the chapter is coming real soon!  I promise!  Vote for Lucas and Chloe, okay?  THANK YOU!!!
