MAYA POV

Lucas stood there at the door staring back at me with a mix of shock and wonder shown in his eyes before it was replaced with something else. He walked in not speaking pushing me back into my oversized hotel suite before he shut the door behind him. The lights were still off in my room except for the faint moonlight that came in through the balcony and I noticed something glistening on Lucas chin. I turned on the light in my hallway so I could see it better.

"You're bleeding. Lucas what happened?" Lucas closed his eyes away from the new lighting then looked back at me with his eyebrows knotted, still not speaking. I raised my hand to touch the cut on his mouth only to have him grab my wrist. Goosebumps rose all over my body. It's been so long since I've touched him or since he's touched me.

"Lucas please just let me-" Lucas wiped his mouth and chin on his jacket sleeve before crashing his lips harshly into mine. I kissed him back with the same fervor, so hard that I could feel blood resurface on his lip and it didn't even bother me.

Lucas grip was tight on my wrist, so tight that it hurt, but I couldn't make myself bring my mouth away from his to tell him. I reached again to run my fingers through his hair with my free hand only to have him release the hold he had on the back of my head and capture that wrist as well. He held it just as tight as the other as he backed me into the wall pressing me securely against it. The weight of his body against mine lifted the weight that I feel like I've carried ever since I left. The pressure lets me know that he's here and this is not a dream, it makes every bone in my body ache with need and wanting.

When we came up for air, neither of us could breathe but it didn't stop us from going into another passionate kiss. I savored every single one of them as if it could be our last. His tongue still tasted minty and sweet even though I could faintly tell that he was drinking before he got here. His lips were still soft and full even though he hungrily crashed them into mine. This moment will be burned into my memory, for me to keep like so many others shared between the two of us. Lucas let my wrists go, but as soon as he thought that I would touch him he'd slammed them into the wall again.

"Don't!" His voice was deep and husky and when he spoke it almost sounded as if it was a growl. I looked into his eyes again, and it was something there that I'd never seen before, something that would have scared me if I didn't know him so well. I nodded my head and watched him as his hands went to the tie on my robe. He snatched it open slightly startling me, yet putting me at ease as he slid the robe off my shoulders.

His hands then traveled hungrily down my sides and stopped when they reached the hem of my sleeper shirt. I raised my arms and allowed him to remove the cotton material off my body leaving me fully exposed in front of him.

"Are we really doing this?" I looked up at him, not sure if sex was the answer to all of the problems we have to fix.

"Do you not want to?" I nodded my head yes knowing that even if warning signs told me not to, my body would win this round, brain be damned.

"Then why ask? Go get in the bed and wait for me to get there."

"Did Peyton touch you the way I do?" Lucas eyes burned into mine searching for an answer as he began to thrust, almost pulling himself all the way out to tease me.

"Mm N-no, Lucas!" Lucas began to speed up his pace causing my grip around the bed post to tighten so much that I know my knuckles turned white.

"Did he make you scream the way I do?" Lucas changed our positions and put both of my ankles on each of his shoulders as he began to pound into me causing me to screech out in pleasure from the new angle.
