Chapter 96 - CAN I HUG YOU?
"Lucas, don't go!"
Ellena's request managed to make Lucas turn around, then arched his eyebrows in surprise.
"W-what?"
Lucas squinted slightly and tried to confirm what he had just heard. Is it true that Ellena asked him not to leave the room? He thought.
Ellena immediately lowered her gaze, not daring to return Lucas's gaze this time. The expression on her face certainly depicted an embarrassed expression. The sentence reflexively escaped her mouth. Ah, for some reason she didn't want Lucas to leave her room so quickly. However, she was also confused about how to put together the right sentence for Lucas.
"Okay. Looks like my ears were wrong." Lucas said when Ellena just didn't respond.
The man decided to leave immediately. However, Ellena's hand held him again.
"No!" Ellena argued, still not daring to look at Lucas.
"You don't want me to leave here?"
Lucas again confirmed Ellena's words and demeanor. He really didn't want to misunderstand just because he misheard the words that came out of his wife's mouth.
Lucas looked the woman who was still lying in the same place in silence. It didn't take long, his smile suddenly widened when he found Ellena who nodded her head as if heeding his question.
Seeing Ellena who looked shy, not even daring to raise her gaze, made Lucas grin. A naughty idea flashed through the man's mind. It seemed like it would be fun if he teased Ellena who looked awkward.
"Oh ... you want me to stay?" Lucas asked deliberately starting with a light question, before he actually teased his wife.
Lucas sat back in his original place while still not taking his eyes off Ellena's face, which was slightly downcast in shame. The mischievous grin appeared on the man's face again.
"Okay, what are we going to do now? Do you want to resume the activities from a few minutes ago?"
Lucas' teasing managed to make Ellena look up and even rolled her eyes. However, it was different from him who actually looked as happy as getting a piercing stare from his wife.
Lucas sucked in a smile, before he responded to Ellena's words. "It looks like tonight will be very beautiful, if we spend it together while blending—"
"Stop!" Ellena cut Lucas off, as if she didn't want to hear him say any more. "That's not what I wanted!" She later denied, but hesitated a little.
Ellena was confused as to why she kept Lucas from staying in her private room. Hadn't she known all along that Lucas had a slightly perverted brain?
'Ah, why am I so stupid! How can I keep him here!' mumbled Ellena, starting to curse herself.
"Come on, Elle … I know you really enjoyed our game earlier, even you—"
"Stop, Lucas! Can't you hear me?" Ellena growled again stopping Lucas from speaking.
"I'm just talking as it is, Elle. Should you lie like that, when it's all clear? You're not even shy about kissing me back." Lucas replied frankly without the slightest shame, while Ellena's face turned red with embarrassment. .
Yes, Lucas is right. Even wanting to refute Lucas's words, it seemed impossible. That's exactly how Ellena felt that she loved and even enjoyed every soft touch of Lucas' lips. So, what could she be hiding, while the man already knew the truth? Oh shit!
Stupid! Ellena is really stupid. She should have just let Lucas go from there. If it's like this, she is overwhelmed because her husband is constantly teasing her.
"I ... I ... I—"
"What?" Ellena just frowned when Lucas cut her off again.
"Then, what is it called if not enjoying? Were you in a demon possession and now suddenly forget everything that happened, huh?" Lucas sarcastically still couldn't believe Ellena's words which were so contrasted with her attitude.
"I just want you to accompany me here, satisfied?" Ellena snapped, annoyed with Lucas who kept teasing her.
"If you're not ready, you better get out of my room!" She said as she tilted her body back to Lucas.
Lucas chuckled a little holding back laughter, seeing the behavior of his wife who was very cute and adorable. It felt like he wanted to pinch that tiny pointy nose. He then shifted and leaned closer to Ellena.
"Of course I'm willing. How could I not want to accompany you to sleep here." Lucas whispered hoarsely as he gave a soft stroke on Ellena's arm, intending to continue to tease the woman.
It suddenly made Ellena's fine hairs stand up, feeling ticklish.
"Don't touch me like that, Lucas!" Ellena swiftly slapped Lucas' hand away. She really didn't want to get caught up in Lucas' game a second time, even though she was so infatuated with the perverted man's fondling.
"I don't like you teasing me like that!" Ellena snapped, furious.
Although it is undeniable that the man's touch is very sensitive to her, she still pretends and does not want to show her feelings in front of her husband. Lucas would be getting a bigger head if he knew that his wife liked that crazy touch.
Lucas snorted loudly. It was very difficult to seduce his wife in such a sane state.
'Ah, if I could, I would let the demon continue to possess her body!' Lucas muttered in frustration. It seemed that he would not succeed in tempting Ellena back.
"Then what should I do, Elle? Can't we do a symbiotic mutualism deal?" Lucas said making an offer. "I'll accompany you here, but on the condition that you pay me back." He coaxed frankly.
"What do you mean?" Ellena's eyes widened even more, as if she understood where Lucas' words would lead to. Yes, of course she understood what was going through her perverted husband's mind.
"Should I explain in detail?" Lucas looked seriously at Ellena's face. "I'm sure you understand what I'm said, Elle."
Ellena took a deep breath. "Lucas, please . . . I just need a friend." She whimpered with a pitiful expression, hoping that Lucas would soon put an end to the silliness that made her even more furious.
For some reason tonight she really wanted Lucas to sleep by her side, even without any activities they would do together.
The image of Lucas embracing her in her sleep constantly bothered her. It seemed like it would be very beautiful and comfortable if she slept in Lucas' arms. In fact, it seems that she has forgotten the figure of Keenan who might be very heartbroken, if he knows all that she has gone through with her husband. Ah, has she betrayed her lover? Certain.
"What? Friends you say?" Lucas growled in annoyance. What does friend mean? "Do you have friends of the opposite sex who sleep in the same room?" He added annoyed. Of course he didn't want Ellena to only think of him as a friend. Ah, it seems he misunderstood what his wife said.
"That's not what I meant!" Again, Ellena denied Lucas' words. "I mean ... I want you to accompany me here tonight." She softly lowered her gaze again. Indeed, she had cut her shame and tried to muster up the courage to utter the sentence that had been stuck in her throat.
Lucas stared intently at Ellena's face, as if he couldn't believe that it was his wife who had said those words. He likes not playing. In fact, his heart was already cheering cheerfully inside, expressing his joy.
Ah, if only Ellena's current attitude continued like that until later. It seemed like there would be no reason for Lucas to seek pleasure outside the house without Ellena. Of course he will be more comfortable staying at home, because he always feels needed by his wife who currently controls his heart.
Lucas's gaze turned gloomy. A wide smile appeared on his face again, before he responded to Ellena's words.
"Does that mean I can sleep here tonight?" Lucas asked as he gently patted the mattress in front of him, right next to Ellena.
A gleam of happiness shone on Lucas's face, as Ellena replied with a nod of her head without hesitation. 'Oh, for what? Is that really Ellena?' He thought.
"Is that true?" Lucas asked, eyes sparkling with happiness.
"If you're willing." Ellena answered quietly with a slightly annoyed expression.
"Fine, if that's your wish!" Lucas exclaimed starting to move to lie down next to Ellena.
"But on one condition!" Lucas gave up his intention, just as Ellena issued a stern warning.
"Why must there be conditions, Elle?" Lucas protested. Even before he knew the conditions his wife would give him.
"That's if you're still willing, if not ... that's fine!" Ellena was about to turn around again, her back to Lucas. However, Lucas swiftly grabbed his waist, trying to hold back.
"Okay. Tell me what the conditions are!" Lucas begged to be forced to surrender rather than being dishonorably expelled by his own wife.
"Don't do things to me!" Ellena said emphatically. "You can sleep here, but you can't do anything, much less try to seduce me!" She added clarifying the previous statement.
"Why is that?" Lucas protested again. "Aren't we legally husband and wife, so we should be free to do whatever we want."
"Okay, looks like you're not willing. Get out of my room!" expelled Ellena without further ado.
Lucas snorted harshly. "Okay. I promise I won't do anything, as per your request." He said, looking down. Shit! Tonight he was forced to fight against his lust.
After agreeing to the deal, Lucas was finally allowed to sleep in the same bed, with Ellena's back to him.
"Sleep! I won't do anything to you." Lucas ordered when he realized his wife's nervousness.
Silence. The atmosphere became silent without any sound, other than the ticking of the clock which slightly echoed in the room. The seconds went by so fast. They spent almost a quarter of an hour together in silence.
After trying to close his eyes, Lucas was still awake. Yes, how could he just fall asleep, when Ellena's body was in front of him.
"Elle, can I hug you?" Lucas asked, getting no response from Ellena.
He then lifted his head and leaned forward, just to confirm Ellena's consciousness. Instantly he smiled, then hugged the woman's tiny body, when he realized that Ellena had slept enough.
No! Lucas is wrong! Ellena was actually just pretending to be asleep. This was evident when a wide smile appeared on the woman's face, when Lucas hugged her body warmly.. Finally she could feel sleeping in her husband's arms and it felt really very comfortable.
