Chapter 84: Lucas: Lovestruck
"HUH? What do you an I’m trending again?"
"Exactly what I said. A video of you surfaced last night and well...we found you on Twitter hot topics today."
"And it’s a global phenonon, Luke. You’re a global topic. Look at it!" Iris beams handing
her phone so I can read the caption written on top of my picture.
"Green-eyed fox daddy with muscle? Sign
up for this booktok adventure!" I read it out loud.
A snort cos from either Tim or Paul but I ignore it. Iris takes her phone back from , her eyes ogling at my picture as she zooms on it.
"It looks exactly like the real thing. Wait no, your real muscle is better, especially when you bite on it. How can you look so hot and cold at the sa ti? I’m gonna let the book girlies have fun with you because hoy, you look exactly like our fantasies."
"Iris."
"Hold on, look at this AI cover. Ahh, soone made you into a mafia lord. Look, look at you. You look saucy. I wouldn’t mind you flipping my insides out with your co—"
She doesn’t get to finish before I fill her mouth with a waffle. That manages to bring her back to her senses for so reason. A pink flush creeps on her cheeks and she hides behind her phone. Alas, Paul is just as shaless as her.
"I get where she’s coming from. I wouldn’t mind working for this mafia boss if this was a novel. They usually risk their lives for loyal n like ."
"Are you implying that I can’t risk my life for you?"
Annoying enough, he nods turning back to his phone and showing Iris a picture of
from college holding a coffee in one hand whilst the other had Jerald’s Poranian puppy. I hate that picture for so reason, but Jerald posted it either way and said it was his revenge for
stealing his puppy’s loyalty from him.
"Awww, you knew cinnamon too?"
"You know him?" Suddenly I don’t hate the picture as much.
"Hell yeah, I do. He was my favorite. I used to sleep with him in my blankets every ti the Adams family left him at our place. It’s a sha he had to die so young."
"I know right? I used to sleep with him in my bed too."
"Wait," Iris suddenly pauses. "Does that an we used to share him on both our beds? That ans we slept together before we even knew each other."
Like a stupid teenager, I feel my cheeks heat up when she uses her twisted logic on . Indirectly sleeping with Iris sounds so diabolical, but hey, her logic isn’t really the problem here. It’s my lovestruck head.
"Now that you’ve said it, I think we did."
"Ugh. Love and making people stupid," Tim laughs as he refills my juice. Lately, he has been getting a little too bold when talking to , although it still only happens when Iris is with us. I like it. It makes this mansion a little less lonely.
"So what happens now? Are you going to use this to your advantage and try to get the magazine a bit more attention? Maybe this is your answer to making the magazine number one again."
"And you were saying I’m the only one who gets you. We get each other Iris. I had the sa idea too the mont I went viral a few days ago."
Again with the blushing. Iris takes a large bite out of her apple, doing her best to maintain her composure. Unfortunately for her, her face is spewing all the words she’s struggling to contain because of that blush. Even Paul and Tim are smiling like fools because they notice it.
Smirking at her hidden face, I scoot my stool next to her and make my hands find their way to her thigh before rubbing on it. She almost chokes on her apple and glares at
with teary eyes to which I laugh and shrug.
"What?"
She wants to say sothing but I guess she’s embarrassed because of Paul and Tim. So like the woman with etiquette she is, she swallows her words along with her apple and shakes her head. "Nothing," she says smiling devilishly.
Nothing my ass. I was too preoccupied with her smile to notice her hand creeping up in between my legs. Now she has my manhood at her rcy and is playing with it right through the shorts. Now it’s my turn to choke on nothing in particular.
Paul and Tim notice sothing is going on and imdiately scramble their way out of the room. For the first ti since they got to know Iris, they seed uninterested in knowing what was going on for her to choke on her food like that.
Thank God for intuition.
The mont they’re out Iris and I glare at each other playfully like fighters in a battlefield. We’ve already forgotten about
trending in the heat of the mont. All I can see are those grey eyes glaring at
with that playful twinkles in them. I’m pretty sure she’s focused on
too with the way her eyes are so fixated on .
I can’t believe I’m already horny for her after last night. I feel like an animal but damnit I can’t help it. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a woman.
In one swift uncalled-for move, I remove her hand from my zipper and have her pinned under my chest. Iris manages to wriggle herself out of my grasp and escapes down the living room to the sofas. I chase after her laughing when she evades
after ducking under my arms.
Turning on my heel, I grab her arm before she can stand to escape and we slip and fall on one of the large three-seater sofas. I manage to wrap her around
so that she safely lands on top of my chest without hitting any of the corners.
"What are we doing?" Iris laughs.
"Playing? I don’t know but it’s fun."
"I know right? It’s like we’re kids again."
"Tell
about it."
My eyes grow wide when I hear the masculine voice. Iris stills on my body and so do I.
"Heard you guys are a couple now. Congratulations to the both of you."
This ti I’m sure as hell I’m not hearing things. I flip us and stand, and sure enough, my dad is standing on the other side of the room. Bella is next to him scrunching her nose as if she saw sothing disgusting.
"Will you stop coming in without alerting us first? What if we hit you thinking you’re a burglar?"
"Guess that’s how youngsters say good morning these days. Let’s go back and knock shall we?" He asks Bella whose face suddenly turns all smiles the mont he’s looking at her.
"Wait. You can stay!"
