StarNovelChapter 0158 **EXPLICIT SCENE AHEAD*** Rose coming in finally to claim the role of Mark's family member meant I no longer had any business there and I pushed myself past the gawking bodies of people with their gaudy outfits and overpowering perfumes that made madewrinkle my nose in distaste until I reached the end of the corridor.
For sreason, I glanced back at the door to Mark's private ward with a wry chuckle slipping past my lips. Just look at all these people acting like the typical bottom climbers they were when they'd been practically nowhere to be found, days ago.
We never know who our true friends are until things go spectacularly to hell.
Sighing, I sank into the passenger's seat of my car and pulled the door closed after me, then I threw my purse on the passenger side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI looked out of the windshield at the stream of people ebbing in and out of the hospital. And all I couldn't help but think of, sitting there, was the scene of Mark's accident where I'd seen Luigi. I remembered seeing his rangy build just 5 o'clock fromthat day before he disappeared.
Or maybe I thought I did? Regardless of what the fact was, if Luigi had indeed been at that place, looking like a spy at a dead drop, it might not mean something good. And he was my friend at least. And as far as I was concerned, I could trust him to the point of believing he didn't have a hand in that incident.
ly way to The dispel those seeds of doubt from my head was to speak to Luigi about it... wisely.
When I got out of my car and walked towards Luigi's bar, I could already see the sign declaring the bar " Temporarily Closed." Odd.
I furrowed my brows disappointedly at the stronhoof words then placed my hands on the glass and peered through the venetian blinds over the glass windows from the outside.
The only things I could make out were the stygian shadows and the ghostly outlines of vacant barstools and empty tables.
I heaved out a sigh and rounded to the back of the building and slowly climbed up the stairs which I knew. also led to his office. It was possible that he closed the bar but was still around in his office. The door swung open with a protesting groan, and the neat space seemned vacant and undisturbed until I completely walked into the room and landed my eyes on the familiar figure lounging in Luigi's chair. Lucas slowly swiveled to face me, his eyes instantly crinkling at the corners in an affable smile. There's my girl," he purred in that molten chocolate baritone that never failed to liquify my insides.
I also broke into a smile, although being a little surprised to see him there. I cfully into the room and shut the door gently behindas Lucas crossed the space between us in two long strides, to hugand I surrendered into the comforting warmth of his chest with blissful contentment before I asked, "Where's Luigi?" My eyes danced quickly around the room whilst still in an embrace with Lucas.
"We haven't seen each other in so long and the first thing you ask about when we meet is my right hand man. My heart is broken," his lips brushed lightly over my earlobe as he said this.
I playfully pushed him away with one hand pressed flat against his chest, "Quit messing around, I have something to talk to him about." Lucas took hold of the hand I initially placed in his chest, kissing it and he said, "I'm over here, missing you like crazy but you're worried about someone else." He then dropped my hand, feigning annoyance as he tried to walk away from me. But I didn't mind giving him that attention he craved.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI pulled him back, looking at him seductively. "If there is one man I'm worried about, then it's the man in front of me," I said and kissed his lower lip.
"You're something else, you know that?" he chuckled as he pulled my waist closer to him and tucked sstrands of hair behind my ear. "And are you any better?" I teased him back. Lucas leaned closer to my face and his whispered against my lips where he wouldn't take his eyes off, "Want to see how better I can be?" He whispered, slanting his mouth over mine in a kiss that obliterated all my thoughts in an instant.
A low, desperate whine escapedas his tongue slipped past my lips. I placed my fingers lightly on his m shoulder and melted against him. Our kisses slowly heated up. I didn't realize when my butt found the hard wood of the desk and he leaned down againstso that there was no interruption.
Soon, my legs wrapped my legs around his waist, clinging to him like a shipwrecked sailor and he liftecup from the desk. He tookto the adjoining room while he continued to plant kisses all overthat madebubble up with excited laughter as my hands played at the nape of his neck. X
