Fallon blinked twice as she took a deep breath. Coach looked over at Fallon before looking back up at Lucas. “I’ll bring her right back, just one song.”
Coach cleared his throat before nodding at Fallon. “It’s up to her.”
Lucas laughed/ “Okay then, come on baby girl.”
“I’m not dancing with you,” Fallon said once she found her voice. Lucas laughed again before looking back over at the coach.
“Did she tell you who I am?”
“Okay, let’s go,” Fallon said, getting up and pushing him to the dance floor. “Asshole,” she muttered. Lucas couldn’t help the grin on his face. He should have been angry with the fact that she didn’t want to tell people who he was, but he figured that it was probably for the best until Aiden knew. Lucas smiled up at Misty as she started a new song. She smiled back as Lucas took Fallon into his arms. She didn’t come willingly and tried to back up a couple of times, but Lucas wouldn’t let her get far. He loved the feel of her body against his too much to let her put distance between them. There had been distance between them for years and now that she was within his reach, distance wasn’t going to be an issue anymore.
“Isn’t this nice?” he whispered as he looked down at her.
Fallon looked up, annoyance all over her face. “It will be nice when I can get back to my date.”
Lucas chuckled. “We both know you don’t want to be with him. You don’t even listen to him when he talks.”
Fallon narrowed her eyes. “And how do you know that?”
A smirk came across Lucas’ face. “Baby, don’t you know that when you are anywhere beside me I’m watching you?”
Fallon rolled her eyes as she looked up at the stage. “Aren’t you supposed to be watching your date?”
“She isn’t my date, she’s Levi’s cousin. I’ve known her for years. She asked me to come down to watch her sing and to have some dinner.”
Lucas swore relief came across her face, but Fallon being who she was, she hid it quickly. “Don’t matter to me.”
“Sure it doesn’t,” he teased.
“Can I go now without you going and telling Chase about me and you?” she asked as she looked over at Chase.
“No.”
“Why? What the hell do you want?” she asked as she brought her eyes up to his.
“Just to hold you,” he said sincerely. He had missed the feel of her in his arms so much and wanted to bask in the feel of her. Even with her snotty attitude he couldn’t help but notice how his body responded to hers. He wondered if she felt the same heat, if she was as wet as he was hard. God, he wanted her.
They moved to the music for a moment before he said, “Maybe you could give me a little kiss.” Lucas was just teasing her, but all it did was pissed her off. Her eyes narrowed as she moved out of his arms.
“First, I am not the kind of woman to be on a date with one man and kiss another right in front him. And for two, f**k you for thinking I am. Don’t get us confused Lucas, you’re the cheater,” she sneered before stomping off toward her table. Lucas stood in the middle of the dance floor watching as she told Chase something before heading towards the exit.
“Shit,” Lucas said as he dug his hands into the pocket of his slacks.
Lucas needed to reevaluate his plans because something wasn’t working. Fallon should have already been naked by now and in his arms, not fighting with him and cussing him out. He had apologized, and he had gotten her gifts. He had done everything he could think of. What the hell was he doing wrong? As Misty sang, Lucas started to doubt himself. What if Fallon wasn’t lying when she said she didn’t want anything to do with him? Maybe she didn’t feel what he did? Maybe he should just get to know his kid and leave her alone.
Lucas stood there watching Misty as couples danced around him. A slow grin came across his face and he chuckled to himself because Fallon did want him. Even if she didn’t want to, she wanted him just as much as he wanted her. Lucas was going to know his son and by God, he was going to get Fallon. No matter what, because he still loved her.
And always would.
Chapter 16
Fallon could still feel Lucas’ arms around her well into the next day. Fallon hadn’t slept a wink the night before as she kept replaying Lucas’ words over and over again in her mind.
I just want to hold you.
How many times had she heard him say that before? A day didn’t pass without him saying it to her when they were together, and Lord how she had loved hearing those words. She loved being held by Lucas, loved the feeling of being in his strong arms and he didn’t fail to impress last night. His arms held her close to his chest, where she felt his strong heartbeat against her breast while the sweetest song played in the background.
It was the same song that she had been playing over and over again throughout the day. She couldn’t get the moment they shared out of her mind and playing the song wasn’t helping the situation any, but she needed it. As the girl sang about needing a hero, Fallon thought about Lucas’ breath along her cheek as her eyes drifted shut. The thought did nothing but make her ni**les hard against her silk blouse and wet between her thighs.
Damn, she needed to get laid.
Maybe she could rethink Chase — he would be an easy lay. The only problem with that was that there was no way on God’s green earth she could get naked with him. He was too skinny, no muscle. She liked to be manhandled in bed, and unfortunately the only man to ever do that was Lucas. Everyone else was so gentle, so sweet and Fallon didn’t like that. Sometimes, yes, but most of the time she liked it rough. The feel of a man biting her lip, or throat. Or throwing her against a wall to f**k the hell out of her. Yes, please sign her up! That was what she liked, and Lucas had done it since day one.
