To Lucas, there was nothing more sexy than Lily's athletic frame. Her muscles tightened her body, yet she had curves in all the right places. Oh, he loved her breasts. They were perky, constantly calling to him when her chests were exposed. Lucas could only attribute it to the amount of exercise Lily did in her daily life. Each time Lucas grabbed her breast, that skin contact and that softness of her mount made him extremely hard. He really missed Lily. Only the heavens knew how much he had dreamed of her, thinking of her and addressing his needs at the thought of her. Being able to touch her entire body was enough to throw him over the edge. He thought about losing control and making her beg beneath him, but then again, he knew that was impossible. His woman was rather strong, and he was only permitted to touch her because she allowed it. His manhood was swelling beneath his pajamas. Heck, if his member were sharp enough to cut through the fabric, it would have already done tha

#### LUCAS' FLASHBACK ### "I'm going to die today, or maybe tomorrow, or in the next few days." Axel touched Lucas' shoulder and added, "Please, take care of yourself, Lucas. Thank you for the friendship." Axel Green was Lucas' closest comrade within the Alpha Vipers. Before joining the group, Axel left the military as a corporal. He was the one who trained Lucas how to fight. "That's not funny, Axel. What made you say that?" Lucas asked. The two were out in their usual spot in the port of Barcelona, Spain. It was their safe spot to discuss their missions and plans to take down Alpha Vipers. It took Lucas over three years to discover that Axel had uncovered the truth about Alpha Vipers. This organization presented itself as a protector. However, in reality, the same group was also an orchestrator of conflicts and high-level crimes. Sadly, Axel found out about this after accepting the quantum level. Because he feared for his life, he could not leave. Axel also did not have the f

"Did you even investigate this properly, Misses Blaire?" Lily asked the principal. "My son would never start a fight. If you say that he tried to harm his fellow classmates, how did he do it? Who is this classmate, and who are the witnesses who have seen the fight?" "I did not have to. Rocky Livingston's word is enough. He is an old student whose parents are well respected in the community," the principal described, and just as she did, Lily noticed that her voice cracked. There was hesitation from the principal, and Lily knew there was more story behind Misses Blaire's decision. Lily crossed her arms against her chest and said, "I'd like to speak to this boy, Rocky Livingston." "That's not possible -" Just as the principal spoke, someone knocked on the office door. "Misses Blaire, I would like to speak to the parent of the child who tried to hurt my son," a woman's voice came through, and she entered the office without the approval of the principal. The woman was very luxuriou

At five in the morning, Lily woke up to the view of Lucas' back. They have returned to Lucas's villa. Their mega mansion would have to wait since it was not ready for them to live in. Lily embraced him from behind and rested her cheek on his bare skin. She let her fingers retrace his scars, and she found herself hurting for Lucas. Just then, she noticed something she hadn't recognized before. Lucas had whip scars on his back; in one of his scars, she noticed a diamond pattern at around one centimeter. She checked the rest of his whip scars, and sure enough, she found two other diamond patterns. Lily muttered, "A bullwhip with diamond steel edges?" Her eyes narrowed because she seemed to recall someone who owned such a whip, but thinking back, she said silently, 'But Lily, bullwhips are everywhere, and anybody could own one.' Still, she made a mental note to research on whips. She just could not get her mind off it. "Hmm. Good morning," Lucas said in his bedroom voice. He turne

"Johnson and Maurice are the best in security planning within Black Hawk. Include them in your security team if you will get involved in this. And please switch all your cars to armored ones," Lily said while speaking to Liam during their phone call on a Monday morning. Liam responded, "Yes, I am switching. Everyone in Braeton is doing the same." "I have asked Major Patton to send two snipers to Swaxon and stakeout near your office and your house," Lily revealed. "That's a little too much, don't you think?" Liam asked. "The borders are already secured." "We'll never know," Lily insisted. She looked out the window of Lucas' office. She already knew where the sniper was in place. "Even here, in Lucas' office, one is constantly on the lookout." "Oh, and if anything urgent comes up, don't forget to call me in my military line," Lily said. "Then, I don't know if your connections in Swaxon reach the mayor, but like here in Rose Hills, you could ask them to impose a temporary gun ban."
