Trusting Betrayal

Chapter Twenty

     I apologize for any grammatical error. I will edit later.

        Luke looked up at the knock on the door. “Yes?”

His secretary came in. “Miss Allison is here to see you”

  Luke sat up and stared. “What?”

     “Miss-”

      “Did I say I didn’t hear? Let her in”

     “Very well, sir”
Idiot secretary! Luke’s thought began to wander. What could have made Allison come to his office?

    A knock sounded at the door again.
“Come in”

Allison walked in, looking gorgeous in the peach wrap-around gown that hugged her curves. She always managed to look good in everything she wore.

His muscles tightened. Luke gestured her to the sitting-area as he got up from his seat and made to join her there. “Hey”

  Allison managed a smile. “Hi”

He sat. “So, what brings you here?”

       “Andrea brings me here, Luke. I can’t keep facing her, knowing that I have betrayed her. I don’t know what to do again. I have been thinking of telling her the truth. It-”

       “You want to tell Andrea what happened between us? Andrea?” he got up, agitated and restless. If Allison told Andrea, she would hate them both forever. He couldn’t lose Andrea… no, he couldn’t.

    Allison watched as Luke paced around the room. “She has to know the truth, Luke. I feel so guilty anytime I see her” and my heart beats twice as fast anytime I see you.

Luke whirled to face her. “I know, Alli but we can’t do that. She is going to hate us forever and I can’t lose her”

   Allison stared at him. He couldn’t lose her? How about her? Was she just a one- night stand to him and Andrea’s best-friend? She made a decision. “You know what, Luke? I am sick to death of your attitude. If you knew you didn’t want to lose Andrea, maybe you shouldn’t have slept with me. How about that, huh?”

   Luke was shocked. “What do you mean, Andrea? You were in it as much as I was. Why are you trying to place the blame on me?”

        “Place the blame on you? I am eaten up with guilt here, Luke. I also happen to know that you get aroused every damn time you see me. Does Andrea make you feel like that anymore? I don’t think she does. You do realize that you don’t please her like before?”

     “Who told you that trash?”

      “Andrea did, Luke”

        “What are you trying to say, Allison? FYI, I don’t get aroused anytime I see you”. He denied.

Allison smirked. She got up and leaned in so that he could look into her breasts that was covered with a black lacy bra. Luke gulped. Allison smiled in victory as she let her gaze went lower and lower. The bulge there told them both all they needed to know. She stood straight as she made her point come across clearly.

    He was definitely turned on. She was about to go to her seat when Luke pulled her down to his lap and crushed his lips to hers. Allison couldn’t resist him no matter what her brain told her. His tongue pushed its way into her parted lips and they did a lazy dance. He loved her taste. It was so…. He just couldn’t describe it.

Allison moaned. The things Luke made her feel. No man had ever made her feel like that. She pulled him closer, she wanted more but her brain protested. She pulled back breathless. “Stop”

Luke stared at her like she had grown two heads. His arousal was already too painful. “Why? Do you still feel like telling Andrea that you cheated on her twice?”

“We shouldn’t. We are doing what we shouldn’t do” she got up from his lap and picked up her bag. “Nice try. If you want me, Luke, let Andrea go”. With that, she left his office.

  Luke could only stare at the door and shift uncomfortably in his seat.

        ***********************************

Andrea greeted Luke at the door as he came in. “I have been calling you for God knows how long. Why haven’t you been picking up my calls?”

     Luke ignored her and kept on walking.

Andrea was not going to let him keep treating her like a child. He had been so moody after his return from that trip and he wouldn’t talk to her.
        “Luke” her voice was so firm that Luke halted.

      “What, Andrea? I am tired. Can we talk later?”

     “No. We are going to talk now”

Luke looked at her and knew he had no choice. He didn’t even have the strength to argue with her. He followed her to the sitting-room and sat down opposite her.

Andrea sighed. “What did I do wrong, Luke? You don’t want to talk to me and even in bed you have been so absent I don’t even know who I have been sleeping with anymore. What wrong did I commit that you even s-”

   Her phone rang. With a sigh, she glanced at the caller ID and perked up. “Excuse me” she got up and left the room to take the call.

Luke released the breath he had been holding. Did she know about the affair? One could never tell with Andrea. He had to find out if she knew something. Wheels started grinding as he sought ways to find out if Andrea knew something without turning the red light on himself.
