Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
I wasn’t going to tear up like some idiot, but what he’d just said warmed me throughout, and my emotions clung to him some more.
Dropping my head, I thumped it against his shoulder. “Okay,” I whispered.
“Yeah?”
“Yes.”
“Good, now kiss me before I leave,” he ordered, and my dick jerked in my pants.
Since it was what I wanted as well, I did as I was told and kissed him, letting him know in the kiss how I knew I would miss him.
Chapter Thirteen
Wreck
I scrubbed a hand over my face as I walked into the compound. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face from thinking about Lucas. Even when I didn’t get much sleep and had kept fighting with myself to go back to him. I couldn’t, though, because Saint would be there.
Christ, I hadn’t been this fucking happy in a long time. It wasn’t that I was just happy, and this was going to sound pathetic, but it was as if a hole inside of me I hadn’t known about had been filled by Lucas.
It’d killed me waiting last night to see if he wanted to give this a chance without telling anyone. I knew he’d have his doubts. I was a bastard to begin with, but there he was taking me up on my offer to see where this would go.
Shit.
Lucas was mine.
I grabbed my phone out, wanting to reach out to Lucas before I walked into a room full of brothers.
Me: When do you get home?
Lucas: Who is this?
Me: Me.
Lucas: Me who? Sorry, I don’t have your number in my contacts.
Well, shit, he must have deleted it after I was a motherfucker.
Me: The man who made you come last night.
Lucas: OMG, Wade! I’m in a classroom full of people. You can’t say stuff like that.
Me: Why? You don’t like it?
Lucas: It’s not that… I like it a little too much.
Me: You getting hard?
Lucas: Yes! Great, now my face is on fire and people are looking at me.
Me: I’m not laughing. Save my number. Promise I won’t send shit texts again.
Lucas: Okay.
Hell, if he’d been around me saying that, I knew he would have said it in a whisper. Now my dick was stiffening, and it definitely wasn’t the time.
Me: You didn’t answer my question. When do you get home?
Lucas: Don’t get grumpy.
I pulled my brows together. Now, why would he say that?
Me: Lucas.
Lucas: Wade, it’s okay, I just have a study date after class I forgot about.
Me: Date as in date, date?
Jesus, I sounded like an idiot, but I needed clarification.
Lucas: NO. Not a date, date. We get together and study.
Me: Who. Will. Be. There?
Lucas: If you relax, I’ll tell you.
Me: I am relaxed.
Lucas. Sure you are. Do you have a tight grip on your phone?
Fuck. Maybe I had, but he didn’t need to know that.
Me: Lucas, tell me.
Lucas: Fine, West will be there, along with Lani and Gregory.
Me: Fuckface is going? Did you tell him?
Lucas: I haven’t seen him to tell. I won’t do it over the phone. I’ll let him know.
Me: Where’s this study date?
Lucas: Library, so it’s out in the open WITH other people there.
Lucas: Wait. Don’t you dare think of showing up.
Smiling, I didn’t answer. It would be best not to lie at the start of the relationship.
Lucas: Wade! Answer me. Do not show up!
Lucas: Wade!
Me: Got to go, got church with the brothers.
Lucas: Wade, don’t think I didn’t notice you didn’t say anything! On a side note: you go to church with the others???
Chuckling, I shook my head.
Me: Not church, Lucas. It’s a meeting with all of us but it’s called church.
Lucas: Oh. All right, have fun in church.
Me: Talk soon!
Lucas: Can I just say I like texting with you. I like talking with you and looking at you. I also like where this is going with us.
Christ, my heart gave a hard thump in my chest, and my gut was dancing around like a girl’s. He made me feel, and it was fucking good.
Me: How’s the blushing going now?
Lucas: It’s bad.
Me: Wish I could see, and Lucas, I like all those things with you too.
Lucas: I’m glad, but you still can’t come to the library. Promise, please.
Laughing, I shook my head.
Me: Later.
Lucas: Wade (whatever your last name is) I can handle this.
Me: It’s Williams, and I know you can.
Lucas: I feel like you left off a but at the end. However, there shouldn’t be a but.
There was one hell of a big but on the end, and it would be: but I was still going because even though I knew he could handle it, I still wanted to be there as backup, and I didn’t want fuckface to even try to touch him.
Lucas: I’m sighing right now. Anyway, have a good church meeting. Don’t reply to this text because then I’ll want to reply because I like to be the last one to respond and I’ll feel like I need to respond more if you write back to me. And I’ve rambled, but you’ll have to get used to this. Plus, my teacher is now getting suspicious. Bye!
Goddamn, he was cute.
Still grinning, I walked into the room church was held in to find everyone was already there.
“Look here, brothers, Wreck’s smilin’. Do we need to worry?” State, our vice president, taunted.
“Fuckin’ A we need to worry. Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen it,” Country, our president, added.
Saint joined in with “Someone got himself some.”
If he only fuckin’ knew who it was with. Then again, I wanted to live longer so I was glad he didn’t.
I scowled. “Shut the fuck up,” I snarled.
The brothers laughed, but it was Death who said, “There he is. For a moment, I worried you were a Stepford wife.”
Asshole,
