Lucas finished his meal and did the dishes before he went back to his study. If he had gone to work that day it would be one of those days where he would have to come back home late. Lucas stayed in his study till midnight when he finally decided that it was about time he went to bed.

However, a surprise was waiting for him in his room when he turned on the lights and as welcomed by the sight of the perfectly made bed.

Lucas frowned and went to Jen's room and found her fiddling with her phone on her bed. He cleared his throat when he noticed that she was not even looking at his direction.

"What are you doing?" Lucas asked as he took off the sweater that he was wearing.

"What do you mean what am I doing? I'm getting ready to sleep" Jen said as if he was asking an obvious question.

Lucas climbed into her bed with her and wrapped an arm around her torso before practically smothering her into his chest.

"You seem to have forgotten what happened this morning" Jen said her voice coming out m.u.f.fled because she was so close to him.

"I haven't forgotten. I won't be able to sleep if i'm not holding you" Lucas said his voice coming out from the top of her head.

"We should sleep separately. I could hurt you in my sleep and Ethan said we shouldn't aggravate it" Jen said with her voice filled with concern.

"Don't worry about it. Your a peaceful sleeper. Just be careful when you wake up" Lucas said and nuzzled his face in her hair.

"How can I not worry?" Jen complained.

"If you could sleep you would have already been asleep and not playing with your phone" Lucas said effectively shutting her up. She couldn't refute his words because what he said was true.

She had gotten used to sleeping with Lucas so much that she could not get any sleep when she tried sleeping by herself and she ended up playing with her phone hoping that she would feel sleepy soon. On top of everything her stomach was aching because of certain necessary biological processes she had to go through each month.

"Just be obedient for once and sleep hmm?" Lucas said and gently patted her head.

"Okay" Jen conceded and slowly turned to put her phone on the bedside table before she voluntarily rolled back into Lucas' embrace. His body was so comfortable because he was so warm so she quickly got comfortable and even started dozing off after a few seconds.

"Jen" Lucas called after five minutes of silence.

"Hmm?" she answered.

"You haven't kissed me properly today" Lucas said seriously. Jen had thought she had heard him wrong.

"Eh?" Jen asked fully awake once more.

"My goodnight kiss" Lucas said as if it was supposed to be something obvious.

"Are you serious?" Jen asked incredulously.

"Do I sound like i'm joking?" Lucas asked. Jen couldn't argue with him on that since he sounded like he meant every word he was saying.

"Fine, come here. You can't be too aggressive, otherwise you'll hurt yourself"Jen said as she lifted her face towards his. It was a relief that they were facing each other because she would have bluntly refused him if she had to move around to do it.

Lucas felt for her chin in the dark of the night and tilted it up before he leaned over and connected their lips. Jen's hand grabbed on to Lucas' arm as the other was stuck between their bodies as she kissed him back.

He had started slowly by brus.h.i.+ng their lips together but it gradually got more and more intense with him opening his mouth against hers and soon enough she felt as his tongue slipped into her mouth.

Lucas grabbed the back of her head and since Jen was worried that she would hurt him if their noses brushed against each other, so she had given up all control to him.

Lucas brushed his tongue across her palate and he could feel how her body s.h.i.+vered against his when he did this. When he caught her bottom lip between his teeth Jen let out cute sound involuntarily that really tempted him to go even further with her, but he knew he would get h.e.l.l for it because she was too worried about him getting hurt so he settled for what he could get.

Jen was soon carried away in the heat of things and was responding to him, although not as aggressively as she usually did because she was still cautious about his injury.

Her tongue tangled with his and her breath mixed with his as the hand that was initially tightly gripping his arm loosely held on to his elbow. Jen knew that the kiss was getting a bit too heated and even she wasn't ready to stop him as it also excited her.

When Lucas grabbed one of her thighs, Jen froze and immediately stopped. She even pulled his hand away. She had almost forgotten about how her aunt flo had come to visit. She only looked at the clueless Lucas a bit darkly but unfortunately he could not see her since it was dark in the room.

"What is it? Did I do something wrong? Are you hurt?" Lucas asked in concern.

"We shouldn't be like this for the next couple of days" Jen said as she made herself comfortable once more.

"Why?" Lucas asked as he volunteered his arm to be a pillow.

"My period is here. So don't get too touchy for the next three days, okay?" Jen said and placed her arm on his chest. Lucas could only sigh in disappointment as he closed his eyes. He had been so close to pus.h.i.+ng her down and having his way with her but he was stopped so abruptly he was yet to wrap his head around what she said. There was nothing else he could do but calm himself down before he went back to sleep.
