Scarlet wrung her hand nervously. She shouldn’t have accepted Luca’s invitation to dinner and she should not have suggested that there could be more between them. She knew it was stupid, she knew it was dangerous, but she wanted him so bad it as almost painful. She knew this would be her only chance to see him like this and so if she did plan to do it, she would have to do it now. She looked at her reflection in the mirror by the door and smirked at the short dress she had chosen for the dinner. She hadn’t packed much evening-wear and so many of her clothes were more fitted for a day by the pool. She had returned to the room to shower and change for the dinner, but looking on, he didn’t know if she was ready; if she would ever be ready.

Stamping down her doubts, she opened her door and walked across the hall to Lucas’ room and knocked on the door. In no time, he swung the door open. He had also showered and changed into jeans pants and a simple t-shirt. From inside the room, she smelt something spicy and her mouth watered. She didn’t realize exactly how hungry she was.

“I’m glad you decided to come.” He said stepping away from the doorway and allowing her to walk in.

She walked into his room and realized it was the same as hers.

“So, what’s for dinner?” she asked turning to face him.

“Well I know you love seafood, so I got us a seafood platter, some sparkling white wine and for dessert, there’s chocolate cake.”

Scarlet smiled, this was the perfect dinner and something she made for herself on her cheat days.

“Sounds lovely.” She said

He led her to the dining table which sat next to the balcony. The doors were closed, and she assumed that was to prevent the calm breeze from snuffing out the candles he had placed in the center of the table.

“It’s lovely.” She said as she looked at the spread he had prepared.

“Let me help you with that.” He said as she pulled back her chair

She accepted his help and then waited for him to take his seat.

“So,” she said reaching out and taking up a tray filled with oysters. “I hope this wasn’t any trouble. I actually thought we were going to have a plate of chicken and green beans.”

He smiled,

“Not tonight.” He said watching her intently as she picked up one of the shells and held it to her mouth. She slipped the muscle into her mouth and swallowed allowing it to slip down her throat. She closed her eyes and savored the taste before opening them to find Lucas’ eyes on her.

He cleared his throat and looked away quickly.

“It was no problem,” he said

She picked up another shell and squeezed a bit of lime unto it before slipping it into her mouth. All the while she was aware of Lucas watching her. She suddenly realized that she could eat no more. Her entire body was alight with anticipation.

“So,” she said letting out a pent-up breath. “you wanted to talk business?”

“I did,” he said, “not so much anymore.”

“I see.” She replied, “what would you rather to talk about.”

She bit her lip trying to fend off her nervousness.

“Nothing.” He replied pinning her with an intense stare that told her that he was just as aroused as she was.

“Okay.” She replied

She reached out her hand to pick up her drink, but he caught it. Her eyes flew to his and in that instant, she knew that it was now or never. He stood and pulled her towards him.

“You can tell me to stop whenever you’re ready.” He said lowering his head to her neck.

Her head fell back, and she let out a low primal moan as he let his tongue roams her neck and shoulder.

“Lucas” she whispered

He pulled back just enough to look into her eyes. One hand rested against her back while the other came up to rest against the side of her face. His thumb massaged small circles on her cheek and she couldn’t resist the pull in her stomach that begged to let him take her. Reaching up, she wrapped her hands around his neck and brought his head down to meet hers.

“I want you” she whispered right as their lips met.

He pressed her into him and her body responded, molding so that they were inseparable. She felt his hand fall to the hem of her dress and heat began pooling between her legs. He lifted the short dress and placed his hand on her exposed flesh. His and pulled her leg up so that she stood on one foot while the other was wrapped around his waist. She felt the length of him pressing against her center and her hips instinctively rocked against him trying to pull him closer

“You’re killing me.” He said as he pulled away. “God, you’re so damn hot.”

Scarlett didn’t know what to say, she felt like a prisoner of her desire and she would do anything to satisfy herself.

“I want this” she whispered, “I want you, Lucas.”

At the sound of his name, Lucas hoisted her up and carried her into his bedroom where he threw her down on the bed. She wasted no time and tugged her dress over her head before reaching up to tug his shirt off.

“You really are all grown up.” She said looking at the impressive muscles he had gained over the years.

“I could say the same thing.” He replied pushing her back unto the bed.

He settled himself between her legs and once again began kissing him. She could feel him pressing against her and she was almost begging for him to take her. Instead, his hand sneaked down, and she felt as he pushed her underwear aside and sunk one finger inside her. She gasped at the intrusion, but he didn’t relent. She was almost at her climax when he stopped and pulled her up and then turned so that she was straddling him.

“I’ve missed you.” He said reaching up to grab at her exposed breasts. She gasped and threw her head back.

“Scarlet,” he said

She looked down into his eyes and she knew they could wait no longer. Undoing the belt of his jeans she released his throbbing manhood and gasped, it seemed much bigger now than it had been all those years ago. He kicked off his pants and she hovered above him waiting to savor the feel of him as he entered her. It was even better than she remembered. Her eyes widened as he stretched and filled her, for a moment neither of them moved.

“Dear God” he whispered gripping her hips, “you feel so good.”

She took the initiative and began grinding her hips against him. It was blissful but with a low grunt, Lucas toppled her unto her side. Without breaking their contact, he began thrusting hard and fast and she thought she would go crazy.

“Oh, yea, Lucas” she cried, “please.”

He turned her unto her back and settled between her legs. From here she looked up at him and could see the desire in her eyes. As he made love to her she tried to suppress the tsunami of feelings that flooded her. Instead, she focused on the way he made her body feel. Not long after, she felt her orgasm crashing into her. It was so powerful that she wondered if she would black out. Lucas was right behind her, in one last powerful thrust he was done and they both lay spent and satisfied.
