Incubus

| Twenty-Seven |

I woke up to the rich smell of coffee filling my nostrils. My eyes squinted through the darkness of my bedroom as I searched for the source of the smell. Who was in my room? What time was it? I sat up in bed and searched aimlessly for the switch on my lamp, trying not to panic. I was one hundred percent certain I locked my door when I came home from Nikki's dorm. My hand knocked something over and I winced as the object hit the floor. "Shit," I cursed quietly while I attempted to keep my blanket from falling off my chest. I was only in my bra and panties, and whoever was in my room wasn't about to see that.

   "Need some help?" A deep voice chuckled from the darkness before they switched on my lamp. I winced at the blinding light and waited for my eyes to adjust before peering up at him.

   "What're you doing?" I frowned in confusion at the man stood beside my bed. His blond hair was unusually messy and he was only wearing a pair of grey sweats. My eyes widened at the sight of Lucky in all his glory and all thoughts were erased from my mind.

   "Good morning to you too, princess." he laughed and sat down on the edge of the bed. I clutched the bedsheets tighter to my chest and prayed that my hair wasn't a mess. "I brought you breakfast, but you weren't supposed to wake up yet. It's only 7." He began to stroke the curls away from my face. I smiled at his sweet gesture.

   "Aww, you brought me breakfast?" I felt my face warm into a grateful smile. I wrapped my arms around his neck. Thankfully, the sheet remained in place between us due to me being pressed against his chest. I gazed into his eyes inches away from mine and resisted the urge to kiss his inviting lips. "I'd kiss you right now but I don't want to kill you with my morning breath,"

The skin around his eyes crinkled as he laughed at me. "Don't be foolish. Come here," He scooted further onto the bed then patted his lap. I glanced down at the sheet covering me and then over at the man waiting for me to sit on him. He was on top of the sheet so I wouldn't be able to bring it over with me. Was I ready to show him myself with only my undergarments on? My eyes roamed over his perfectly chiseled body and wondered if he'd care about all my imperfections. It wasn't easy to open up to someone, to let yourself be vulnerable. Lucky's eyebrows furrowed at my hesitation. "Brielle, you are absolutely beautiful in every way. You don't need to hide yourself from me. I love you and nothing's going to change that."

My heart melted at his words. He always knew how to boost my confidence and make me feel good about myself. Just the fact that he thought I was beautiful made me love him even more. He has helped me realize that I am good enough and people do care about me. Maybe not my parents, since they haven't even tried to contact me since I came to the new school, but Lucky cared about me and that was enough. I stared directly into his mesmerizing blue eyes and let the sheet drop to the bed, all of my insecurities falling with it. His eyes never once strayed from mine as I crawled across the bed towards him and climbed onto his lap. I wrapped my legs around his waist and his hands slid their way down my back to cup my behind. His lips pressed against mine in a passionate kiss and I moaned into his mouth. His fingers traced my back until they found the clasp of my bra.

"Can I take this off?" he breathed against my lips. I nodded in consent. He unclipped my bra with ease while our lips danced together and he threw it across the room when the lace fabric landed on his lap. His hands tightened against my bum and his lips moved away from mine; teeth stretching my bottom lip out. I felt my panties dampen. He released my lip and I felt it begin to swell. His eyes finally trailed down my chest. I felt my face flush as he gazed at my body, something nobody has seen before. His mouth moved close to my chest as his eyes gazed into mine. Just before his lips grazed my skin, his eyes flicked up to mine for permission.
