“I would agree with that. I have a friend who owns a loft in the village. It’s a nice place for a small party, and we could get married there, too. I’m selfish. I want to see you in a sexy dress, preferably strapless, and enjoy taking it off you at the end of the night.” Lucas gave me a soft kiss and nibbled on my bottom lip.
“That sounds nice, actually. Ask him if he has any openings in the next couple of months.”
Lucas wrinkled his nose at me.
“Imayhave talked to him already and set things up; we just needed a date. All you have to do is look hot and show up.” I pulled back and raised my eyebrows.
“That sure I’d say yes?” I smirked at him.
Lucas shrugged and kissed my forehead.
“I had a good feeling.” I laughed and kissed him again.
“You planned everything? I’m impressed; I didn’t think guys liked going to weddings, much less planning them.” Lucas’s brow furrowed and rested his forehead against mine.
“I’ve waited long enough to marry you. I wasn’t leaving anything to chance. Now …”
Lucas moved his hands from my waist to the hem of my shirt, inching it over my head.
“We should practice for the wedding night.” Lucas ran his hands down my chest and gave open-mouthed kisses across the tops of my breasts as he pulled down the straps.
“We’ve been practicing for a long time, Lucas. I think we’ll be fi—” My voice trailed off as he sucked a nipple into his mouth.
“Never know when you’ll learn something new.”
Thirty-Five
Samantha
Tomorrow was goingto be a big day. Nothing about our lives would really change, except for my last name. Lucas somehow managed to put everything together in a couple of months. He even took care of the menu and flowers. It was a small guest list. All I needed to do was pick out a dress and show up. I had no idea what to expect, I hadn’t even seen the loft we were supposed to get married in. It was a formality more than anything, but knowing I would be Lucas’s wife tomorrow thrilled me. After all my years living with a miserable frog, I was finally getting the prince I always wanted.
I wrapped my arms around Lucas’s waist and nuzzled into his chest as we lay in bed together.
I rested my chin on Lucas’s chest, propping my head up to look at his face. He ran his fingers through my hair as I kissed across his collarbone and up his neck. He had the sexiest Adam’s apple, and I loved how he squirmed when I nibbled on it.
“Time for me to go.” Lucas tried to sit up, but I pushed him back down. I didn’t want Lucas to leave—at least, not yet. He was supposed to stay at his apartment and meet me at the loft tomorrow. As of yet, he still didn’t have a buyer. He’d asked a couple of his cousins who were attending our wedding to stay there tonight instead of renting a hotel room.
“I bet I can convince you to stay a little longer …” I brought my lips back to his neck, searching for the spot behind his ear that usually made his entire body go limp. Lucas shrugged me away before I got there and groaned.
“You’re not making this easy. Aren’t we not supposed to be together tonight anyway? The whole ‘bad luck to see each other before the wedding’ thing. You know I hate being away from you. I’ll be sleeping in my old bed thinking of the first time you stayed over. Amazing how that seems so long ago and like yesterday at the same time, right?”
Now Ireallydidn’t want him to leave.
Lucas sat on the edge of the bed as he pulled his jeans on. When he stood, I sat up on my knees and inched my hand down his chest.
“You sure you want to leave me?” I pretended to lower the sheet that covered my naked body, and Lucas laughed.So much for my seduction skills.
“You are not playing fair tonight. Are you, Mrs. Hunter?” Lucas smirked at me. For some reason, calling me ‘Mrs. Hunter’ made my legs fall apart.Tease.
When Lucas ran his thumb over my lips, I opened my mouth to suck on it. His eyes got hooded and a sexy moan escaped him.
Sensing I might be winning, I grabbed his hand and slowly took his index and middle finger in my mouth, sucking on them like a popsicle. His fingers almost touched the back of my throat before I pulled back, inching them out of my mouth while making circles with my tongue around his fingertips. Lucas looked like he stopped breathing and blinking. I cocked an eyebrow at him, my silent promise to repeat the same treatment—only lower—if he decided to stay.
I let my sheet drop, and Lucas closed his eyes as he let out an audible sigh. I raked my nails down his chest and over the hard ridges along his abs. When I unbuckled his pants and wrapped my hand around his hard cock, Lucas’s breathing hitched. Seeing him this affected by my touch made me feel powerful—and I loved it. As I inched my hand up and down, Lucas’s jaw clenched and the expression on his face intensified.
“Get on all fours.Now, Samantha.”
I almost squealed. Not only was I victorious, but I coaxed alpha Lucas to come out.
