Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Jen was surprised by his sudden kiss, she wanted to wrap her arms around him but both her hands were firmly held against the kitchen counter so all she could do was respond to his kisses by kissing him back. He was a very good kisser, to the point she started wondering how many women he has kissed before her.

Sensing that her mind was wandering he released her hands as one of his arms was wrapped around her waist and the other on the nape of her neck as he deepened the kiss. She could only grab on to his shirt as she was being thoroughly kissed by him.

The rhythm he set, with his tongue teasing her mouth and his teeth soft nipping at her lips and sucking on them as if to soothe them got her weak-kneed.

He finally released her when he was sure enough that he got his point across and stared at her slightly dishevelled appearance. At that moment she looked very alluring, she looked completely intoxicated and it took all of his willpower not to carry her off to her bedroom.

His hand reached out to her face and stroked on the beauty spot under her eye. His action slightly sobered her up. She looked at her hands that had balled up into fists on his shirt and she released him immediately.

She stared at his wrinkled shirt and looked up at his face only to feel embarrassed once more, so she decided to stare at her hands. Her actions made him smile but he had something to address with her.

"What is this issue of me being your little brother?" Lucas asked her as he put his finger under her chin to make her look at him.

"I learned today that I'm older than you are and even my little sister is older than you so…" Jen ended up trailing off because his expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Does me being younger bother you?" Lucas finally decided to address the elephant in the room.

"Um, actually, I've never exactly been with someone younger than I am before so I can't tell if it will be a problem, but I've never actually considered being with a younger man before" Jen decided to be honest with him.

"Will you consider me then?" Lucas asked seriously. Jen was not expecting him to say something like this at all. She even thought he was joking.

"Are you serious?" Jen asked as if doubting her ears

"En, will you consider me?" Lucas asked after coming so close to her she could feel his breath on her face.

"Uhm... Actually…" Jen trailed off as he softly teased her lips with his. She knew what he was doing, but she enjoyed too much to push him away.

"Actually?" Lucas reminded her but his fingers were tangled in her hair pulling her head back exposing her neck to him, he left a trail of kisses around her neck to her ear that he lightly nipped earning a shudder from her. Her mind was already blank at this point. Her brain cells just stopped functioning.

Lucas was teasing her, he enjoyed watching her reactions but he couldn't help but feel uneasy after asking her to consider being with him. In distracting himself from his anxiety, he ended up with her in this situation.

She finally grabbed onto his hair and gave him a toe-curling kiss. In their intense make out, they could faintly hear a phone ring. When it got too annoying Lucas finally broke the kiss to pick up his phone. Jen had recovered some of her senses and rushed to the kitchen to make dinner.

After Lucas saw the caller ID he lightly sighed before picking up the phone.

"Hi mom"

"Lucas honey, are you still working?" Hellen's sweet voice was heard from the other side.

"No, I'm having dinner with my friend," Lucas said as he looked at Jen busying herself in the kitchen.

"Am I disturbing you?" Hellen asked once more. After hearing her question, Lucas remembered what he was doing before the phone call and almost blurted yes, but thinking of his softhearted mother he stopped himself.contemporary romance

"No, is anything the matter?" Lucas asked directly because knowing his mother, he could predict the phone call going on for half an hour.

"I wanted to have dinner with you and your father, but since you aren't around.." Hellen trailed off.

"Well, you could out with dad, it would just be a date then right?" Lucas said as he popped a grape into his mouth. Hellen was reminded that he was having dinner and decided to cut the conversation.

"Okay, we'll go, say hi to your friend," Hellen said after being rushed on the other side before she hung up. Lucas looked at his screen before putting his phone aside and walking into the kitchen.

He stood behind Jen who was standing at the stove stirring some stew and wrapped his arms around her while resting his head on her shoulder. She turned her head slightly to look at him before she resumed her cooking.

"My mom says hi" Lucas randomly blurted out.

"En" Jen answered simply while still focused on her cooking. Her bland response made Lucas pause. He stayed quiet as he stepped away from her, his movement made her look at him again before she resumed cooking.

Lucas was left feeling flustered, he couldn't understand her current mood at all. Was she mad? Was she annoyed? Neutral? It was at this moment he realised he really didn't know her well enough.

Since she didn't seem to need any help he sat at one of the stools on the kitchen counter and continued to watch her move around the kitchen.

Unknown to him, Jen was actually too embarrassed to hold a conversation. She kept reprimanding herself for getting carried away whenever she was in close proximity with Lucas and not even being able to think properly.

With this train of thought, she started pondering if what she was experiencing was physical attraction or if she really liked him. After a while, she finally finished cooking and Lucas helped her serve the food.

They sat across from each other on the dining table and proceeded to eat their meals. Lucas kept complimenting her cooking making her blush again. After another round of silence, Jen finally said something.

"About what you asked me earlier, were you serious?"

"Yes, I wasn't joking" Lucas replied putting down his fork

"I've thought about it, and I think we should give it some time, I don't want to rush into a relationship especially since all I know about you is what I heard from other people," Jen said seriously.

"I understand where you are coming from. As long as you are willing to give me a chance I'll be satisfied, I did ask for consideration right?" Lucas answered with a huge smile, making him look that much more attractive.

"Mmmh" Jen said her head hanging low covering her face with her hair. Lucas reached out his hand towards her and pushing her hair to the back of her ear and raising her face once more.

Stroking a finger across her bottom lip he said, "Your consideration is all I need" as his smile became even more charming.
