228: 039 GET ON HER NERVES

039 GET ON HER NERVES

Turning to Lucas, my already wide eyes stretched even wider, "You should leave right now." I breathed. Panic and alarm swell inside me like an air balloon. "They shouldn't see me like this, especially with you in my room."2

"I couldn't. I'm butt naked." He replied, wickedly amused by how terrified I look.

"Go pick up your clothes and leave the room quickly." I order under my breath , stressed out by his lack of concern.

"I have no other way to go to my room except the main door." Lucas crossed his arms in front, and leaned back on the headboard in a comfortable position. "Besides, the view here is far more interesting here than inside my room." He added, his eyes twinkling as they skim through my body. When I followed where his gaze had stopped, I caught him looking at my breast which had spilled out of the blanket covering them.

"Pervert!" I gasp, hugging the blanket higher to my chest to cover my exposed body part. 

Something that resembled a groan and a chuckle emerged from his throat.

"That's rude to say to a man you've just passionately made love with last night."

My cheeks became several degrees hotter. I could tell without looking at the mirror how red my face was at the moment as though someone slapped me on both cheeks.

"It's different now. I'm sober. You can't seduce me anymore." I reasoned but Lucas wasn't buying it though. He had this confident look on his face telling me he knew I was lying. 

"No hon…Drunk or not you can't resist my charm. Shall I demonstrate how I can make you moan underneath me within seconds?" He added with a slow grin stretching on his lips. 

My mouth parted open in disbelief. "You wouldn't dare."

"Of course I would." He challenged. The look in his eyes tells me he's not simply teasing me this time. He's really gonna do it.

Damn. It will be trouble if he does, I thought to myself, panicking like a fish caught in a net with nowhere else to escape. It was then that another knock sounded to the door, only this time it was louder and more urgent than the first knock. 

My alerted gaze shifts back to Lucas. He remains calm and I wish I have the same composure he has right now.

"Please go… I can't open the door with you here." 

"I told you I have no other way to go to my room."

"For god's sake use the adjoining door!"

"It was locked. I forgot to unlatch the door of my room." He replies nonchalantly, unbothered by his state of undress. He didn't even cover his erection.

"Why the hell are you locking the door! I'm not going to steal anything from you!" 

"I know. But I have to protect myself from your advances."

"Advances my butt." I scoffed.

"If you're afraid to open the door, I'll do it for you." Said Lucas as he got up from the bed, picked his boxer shorts and put it on. At first I thought he was teasing but then he strode to the door, and I cried in alarm and jumped on him before he could open it himself.

Just a minute in his company was enough to drive me insane. I'll be doomed forever if I jave to be with him for long. I thought to myself clasping my fingers on his hair to keep myself from falling to the floor. 

Stumbling on his feet, Lucas groaned and we both fell on the bed.

"This isn't funny Lucas!" I barked, seriously pissed off this time. I could feel my patience snapping like a thread. "I won't forgive you for this." I threw him the sharpest glare I could muster as I got up and poked him in the chest with my fingers. "I want you to either find a hiding place or jump off the window. As long as you don't show yourself I won't care." 

I didn't wait for him to respond. Grabbing the robe from the rack, I put it on to cover myself.

My attention went through the clothes strewn on the floor and I kicked them underneath the bed as I heard the sound of jingling keys.

"Alexandra, are you still sleeping? If you don't reply I'm coming in to wake you up." Samantha voice loudly called out.

My gaze remained glued on the door but I can hear Lucas skittering to find himself the perfect spot to hide his large build.

I didn't wait for the door to be unlocked by the key, I hurried to the door and opened the door.

"Good morning Madam." Thompson greeted me in a surprisingly polite manner and expressed his apology for waking me up. I greeted him in return and assured him it was okay fine with me.

Samantha's gaze swept over me. I bit my lower lips in alarm, wondering what's running through her mind right now. 

"What happened to your chest?" Samantha gushed. I followed her gaze and found her staring at the exposed skim above my chest which the robe wasn't able to cover and found a reddish spot glaring at me.

Damn you Lucas! I mentally cursed, seeing he left a kiss mark on a very obvious spot.

"It's just a mosquito bite." My quick wits save me before they can think of anything else. "I scratched it with my fingernails, that's why it got even worse.

"Mr. Alexander will not be pleased if he hears that." Thompson thoughtfully remarked with a concerned frown. "I have to eliminate the mosquito before it can cause any harm to anyone. We can't be sure but it might be carrying a virus. I just heard in the news about a certain type of mosquito spreading an epidemic to a country."

"It's a pretty big mosquito, a very annoying one," I told them but it wasn't the mosquito I was referring to. "Don't worry Thompson I will surely smack that annoying pests once I get my hands on it."

"Very well Madam, I hope you catch it."

"Pretty sure I will." I muttered under my breath.

"What is going on here?"

Lucas strode across the hallway with a frown on his forehead. He was wearing a robe and to anyone who just saw him, he looked as though he just woken up.

The lying jerk! He said the door to his room was locked! He lied, I thought to myself and my irritation towards him rose several levels

"Good morning Mr. Alexander." Thompson greeted him. "We are talking about the mosquito that bit Madam's chest. I was very concerned because I just heard in the news about a certain type of mosquito spreading an epidemic to a country."

"A mosquito?" Lucas repeated, the corners of his mouth lifting in amusement. His gaze found my chest where the kiss mark had left a crimson spot on the skin.

"Madam said a pretty big, annoying mosquito had bit her," Thompson continued, taking the mosquito they were talking about very seriously.

Poor man! If only he knew the truth…

"What a naughty mosquito… " Lucas sympathetically replied. "Just last night I was bitten by a pretty loud mosquito too. In fact it left a mark on my right shoulder." He added, looking me straight in the eyes while Thompson and Samantha quietly watched us without hinting anything.

Lucas pulls the sleeve of his robe revealing a crimson spot to where I had bitten him last night without knowing it.

"I shall immediately solve the problem before it gets worse. Please excuse me Madam and Sir, I shall call the Pest Control Services to solve this problem." Thompson said then he was gone.

"I'll be waiting in the living room," Samantha said and she too was gone within seconds.

With the two gone, Lucas grinned at me and mouthed the words. We. Are. Even.
