Chapter 28 A CRACK IN HIS ARMOR.
SLOANE'S POINT OF VIEW.
Lucien paused with his bite still in his mouth. I looked at him with bated breath as I hoped he would at least like it. All of a sudden, his lips stretched in a slight smile as he continued with his chewing.
The sound of Theo's groan had me diverting my gaze from Lucien to him.
"This is simply to die for." He exclaimed as he buried his face in his burger. His lips were stained with the juices, but he didn't care about that, or how everyone inside stopped what they were doing to stare at him.
Lucien's hand, creeping up my thigh, as it dove into my skirt, diverted my attention from them as I turned to him. His smirk threw me off guard, as his hand angled higher and higher before stopping at the waistband of my panties.
"Stop looking at them, and just eat, Sunshine." He said, as if I could eat with his hand so close to my pussy.
The memory of how good it felt to have him lick me came back to mind as I tried my hardest not to let my thoughts be known. Ut my face always betrayed me.
Lucien gripped my thigh softly, forcing them apart under his touch.
His breath tickled the skin beneath my earlobe as he leaned in. His delicious cologne hit me full in my senses, as I tried to appear unaffected.
Lucien never cared that we were in public or that there might not be any need to put up an act in front of everyone.
The name he'd called me earlier at the arena echoed in my mind as his voice droned in: 'Mrs Ravenscroft.' He had called me.....what does that mean?
"Finish your food, sunshine. I want you strong to take me when I have you pinned, and begging me while I feast on your soaked, spread pussy." He said, making me choke on my spit as I stared at my burger, and did everything to avoid making eye contact with him.
He smirked from the corner of my eye, before taking another bite of his food like nothing had happened. Like his hand wasn't between my thighs, and he hadn't whispered something dirty in my ears.
All of a sudden, his fingers made their way into my panties, making me choke on a piece of lettuce.
"Sloane, are you okay?" Theo asked, as their eyes turned to me with their concerned gazes. Lucien looked at me with a worrisome expression as he dropped his burger and picked up a glass of water for me.
"Drink some." He said, pushing the glass to my lips. I turned to him, and almost choked again at the sight of the gleam of mischief in his eyes. I sipped on some water to avoid more questions, and his fingers teased my clit slowly, drawing beats of pleasure around the bud.
"Scholarship girl, is everything okay? You're red." Theo asked, and I shook my head. If I opened my mouth to speak, it would be nothing meant for other ears.
Lucien focused on his food like he wasn't wrecking me at the moment with his fingers. He slipped into my pussy with both fingers and thrusted softly.
I grew wetter by the second as his thrusts sped up. Slightly moving, I ground my pussy against his fingers while fighting the urge to throw my head back with pleasure, while spreading my legs as wide for him as he would allow.
Just when I thought I would come, Lucien's hand withdrew casually, pouring a bucket of ice over my heated veins. I turned to him, meeting his gaze as he lifted his fingers and placed them in his mouth.
He sucked on my juices like it was his favorite essence, his eyes shining with an insatiable hunger. And all of a sudden, I wanted it to be just me and him in a room, as he made me tremble beneath him.
I shoveled a few more bites of food into my mouth, pretending I was unaffected, but the heat under my skin told a different story, and Lucien's smirk told me he could see it.
“Good girl,” Lucien murmured so low only I could hear, his breath grazing my temple as he leaned past me to drop a couple of bills on the table. My pulse spiked in my throat at his tone.
I could tell that if he caught me alone like last time, he wouldn't stop till I was trembling and begging him to stop, while I pulled him closer.
\-------------------------------
By the time we left the diner, the night sky stretched out like a canvass to be painted on. The neon sign flickered behind us, as we headed out the door.
"I won't lie, that was a damn good meal, scholarship girl." Theo said, and just when I was about to answer, I saw him.
He leaned against the wall in tattered clothes. His hair was matted, and missing in bits around his head.
He looked at me with a somewhat hungry gaze, as his bone thin hands stretched out towards me. He walked to where I stood, smiling at me with his yellow chipped teeth on display;
"Got anything, pretty girl?" He asked, his voice throaty as he began to itch his hands till they bled. "I just need some change man, just some money...or anything."
I opened my mouth to tell him to leave, when the force of someone's kick pushed him back.
His hands wrapped around me as he pulled me to stand behind him.
Lucien.
"Touch her, look at her, breathe near her, and I make you bleed." He said, his voice dripping with disgust as he gripped onto my hands tightly, like he was afraid I would be lost if he let up.
The addict whimpered as he itched his neck, and hands as he mumbled; "Please, just get me something, man. Anything....come on, man."
Lucien laughed humorlessly, as his lips drew in a viscous snarl, " Help? You don't need that kind of help, at least not from here. Come near her again, and I'll have you shipped off to where no one would find you. You act like you want help, but what you really want, is a fix. Something to get you high again, and sick fucks like you will do anything for that."
Just before I could say something, Theo gripped Lucien's shoulder, and said; "It's not worth it, man. Let's just go."
He said, looking serious for the first time since I'd met him.
Suddenly, Killian and Lucian flanked to the side, blocking me from the view as Lucien, and Theo began to whisper so low to each other, I could barely make out what they were saying.
When Lucien finally turned to me, he gripped my hand, and pulled me to his car like the ground we walked on burned him. On getting to the car door, he pulled the passenger side open, and gestured for me to get in.
I quickly plopped my ass in the seat, for fear of what he might do in this state. He barely spared the guys a glance, as he rounded the car, got in, an drove off as soon as he hit the ignition.
"I don't want you ever speaking to people like that, okay? They come towards you, and you run in the other direction, if I'm not there. But if I am, I'll take care of it. You understand?" He asked, his grip on the steering wheel tight as he drove with so much speed, it felt like the car was flying off the road.
His hand grabs onto my thigh with such strength, I was sure I would be bruised by tomorrow.
Before I could respond, my phone buzzed in my skirt pocket. I pulled it out, and saw a notification from a number I didn't know.
Clicking on it, the message on my screen sent ice into my blood stream as I read the words before me;
"Your crown is slipping, girl. Seraphina is on her way, and she'll take him from you before you can blink."
