“Alright, this is the time where you tell me the conjecture you’ve come to,” Lucas said calmly.“She hugged you!” Brenda yelled, her face glowering with rage. “The bitch hugged you! That’s the only way her scent could rub off so strongly. Now don’t fucking lie to me, Lucas, did she hug you or not?” “No, she didn’t.” He replied and Brenda was about to throw a tantrum and accuse him of lying when he added. “I did, I was the one who hugged her.”She stopped instantly, it was as if his words froze her in time. “Lucas, I’m not sure I heard you well, what did you just say?” She asked.“I hugged her.” He replied flatly, still eating as he did.“Why?” She asked, her shock getting the better of her anger. “Why would you do that?”“Because she was shivering in fright after the whole thing, she wasn’t herself and that was the only thing I thought of doing to calm her down.” He replied, his calmness only made her more agitated.“And why is it that your hug was enough to calm her down…why would y
For a week, Lucas didn’t hear from Brenda and she didn’t come to visit either. In the space of that week, his bond with Riley only grew stronger and even Dolph was wondering if Riley had replaced Brenda. Riley was excited, she enjoyed the attention she was receiving from Lucas and the reception from Dolph. She started seeing little of him as he got more busy and engrossed at the Pack office and more than once it had been just her and Lucas in the house.Everything was going smoothly for her, the fact that she saw little or nothing or Brenda made it even better. Once, Lucas had come across her in the hallway leading to his study and he caught her hands swiftly and pinned her to the wall. Riley was startled and she looked around with desperate, alert, and searching eyes.“What are you doing, King Lucas?” She whispered with an urgency in her voice. “Someone might just walk past and see us in this position.”“So? It’s my fucking pack after all.” He replied coolly, not even bothering to lo
Riley and Lucas’s love story went on for a few more days. Riley was happy, this was the best time of her life but it was going to take a drastic turn soon.One day, they had sex in Lucas’s bedroom at night and Riley collapsed on top of him, breathing heavily and with satisfaction. He let her naked body remain on his for a while, he too was exhausted and drained completely.After a while of silence that was only interrupted by their heavy breathing, she asked him a question.“What now, King Lucas?”“You know we’ve gotten so close, you can stop calling me that.” He said before replying to her strange question. “Call me Lucas.”“It’ll certainly taste funny in my mouth.” She remarked. “Lucas.”“Sounds good,” He said with a smile, then his face went serious. “Now, what did you mean by what now, Riley?”She took a deep breath, “It looks like you’ve broken up with Brenda, she hasn’t visited for some time now, it’s awkward.” “We had a huge argument the last time she was here, it didn’t end w
Lucas stared at Dolph who stared back with hesitant eyes.“Go bring her,” Lucas said.Dolph grimaced, “Oh common, Lucas, don’t send me to undertake this gruesome task.”“Go bring her, you wimp.” Lucas snarled and Dolph got to his feet.“Sure, Lucas, way to go for always leaving me with the herculean tasks.” He said and walked out of the study.He walked into the living room just in time to see her coming in through the front door. Brenda stopped when she saw Dolph, she looked dazzling in the short, black gown she wore. To his surprise, she smiled at him. “Hey, Dolph.” She said jovially.His eyes darted around in confusion, “Hey…Brenda.” What was going on? He wondered.She looked around, “Where’s Lucas?” She asked.“Come with me, we were busy studying before you showed up.” He said.“I didn’t mean to disrupt anything,” She said in a polite manner that didn’t sit well with him as she followed him.Dolph opened the door and let her in, he looked up and groaned before walking in and clos
Riley avoided Lucas for the rest of the day until she heard his car pull out of the driveway, it was the limousine and he was on his way with Brenda by his side. Although she felt hurt and knew she would always be second as long as Brenda was still here, she accepted the truth and she had said it to him herself. She was just his maid, his maid that was in love with him but apparently could never have a permanent place with him. Did it piss Riley off? Yes, very much, but she had some faith in what Lucas had said to her, he had assured her that he would work something out and she trusted him. She didn't have what to do, as long as Lucas wasn't in the pack, she was free to laze around, not until Dolph showed up later. "Oh, my fucking back!" He exclaimed as he walked into the living room. He didn't even look around, he already knew Lucas must be gone by now so he just walked straight to the bar. It was only after he had mixed Scotch and water for himself that he noticed Riley sitting
What?How? That wasn't possible! She couldn't be pregnant, now not! Not when she was just Lucas's maid! Her face turned ashen as she stared up at the doctor, the only question she could ask was, "How far gone?" He looked at her, wondering why she wasn't excited to hear the news, "Is everything alright, miss?""Doctor! Please!" She exclaimed, startling him. "How far gone?" "A week or so." He said. She sat up and ran her fingers through her long, sleek hair. "Oh no! Oh no, no, no, no!" She mumbled, her heart thumping violently against her ribs. This was bad, very bad, there was no other person she could be pregnant for but Lucas. What was she going to do? Could she even say this to him? When he was already engaged to Brenda? This was terrible news, the worst news possible! If she told Lucas this, it would shatter everything he had built up with Brenda and might even smear his reputation. She was a fool not to have been more careful, each time they had sex, he had released into her.
"Faster!" "Common, don't give up on me now, faster!" She kept saying to herself as she dragged her body on.How long had she been running? How far had she even gotten? She didn't know, but instincts told her she hadn't gone far enough. It wasn't so difficult to leave the pack, with Dolph in the living room, all she had to do was sneak out of the room she had been kept in and walk around the back door. She had to pass through the kitchen to get to the back door and everyone already knew her there so there was no cause for alarm. Riley didn't have the time to get anything, what did she even have that belonged to her? Nothing. Her mind was just centered on getting away, out through the back door, it was easy from there. She avoided passing through the areas the lights from the pack house were covering so she had to move in the darkness. Another thing she had to watch out for was the patrolling guards, they had an incredible sense of smell, and she had come to learn that over the past f
Dolph was biting his nails like a child when Lucas and Brenda walked in.Lucas became alert instantly, he knew that sign very well, Dolph only bit his fingers when something went wrong or when they lost a business contract. "Dolph, what is the matter?" He asked with panic. Dolph's eyes widened when he saw Lucas and he rushed at him, completely ignoring Brenda. "The craziest shit possible has just happened, Lucas, Riley..." He looked at Brenda, unsure of whether to break the news in front of her or not. Lucas took the hint instantly, at the mention of Riley's name his heart was already pounding. "Come." He said and they went to his study, Lucas jammed and locked the door then went around his desk and sat down. Brenda was left in the sitting room, fazed and perplexed by Dolph's attitude and reluctance to let the cat out of the bag in her presence. She thought about going to eavesdrop on their conversation, but then changed her mind, she wasn't that petty. If it was something so
