Jealousy hung around Lucas’s throat as he watched his woman, his world, chattering and laughing freely with another man. Different thoughts swell inside him.
He watched as Jake whispered something into Sia’s ear then threw a wink at her, making her erupt into a fit of laughter after popping a bottle of wine and pouring some into Sia’s glass and then his.
Lucas pursed his lips in a harsh line, dreading what will happen if Sia perhaps get drunk.
Now, Lucas pieced the pieces of puzzle together. The suite beside his is Sia’s which tells why he saw Rebekah strutting out of it immediately after the conference rounded up.
How he wishes he’s the one making that silly jokes Sia’s laughing at. How he wishes he’s the one standing close to her while her wildflower scent flies into his nostrils.
Lucas watches as Jake fixed a tendril of Sia’s hair behind her ear and with eyes coated with emotions, he leaned into Sia’s hand and kissed her knuckles.
He couldn’t see Sia’s face therefore he wonders what her reaction would be.
He’s standing here like a helpless sheep, watching another man, a pussy-whipped man trying to have his way with Sia.
What more can he do? Have they shared a bed together? Have they felt each other? Has he fucked her before?
These questions and much more roved through Lucas’s mind. He gripped his phone tightly, the screen cracked instantly.
“Yes, I’d love that.” He heard Sia chuckle and say out loud.
What would she love? His cock? The way he eats her pussy? The way he thrusts into her? Lucas’s thoughts traveled to different locations and his mind conjured images of Sia lying underneath someone else that’s not him.
It hurts like hell.
Lucas’s breath turned ragged as he watched Sia smack Jake’s arm like high school lovers only that they ain’t one.
“Might take that as a challenge,” Sia said aloud again, downing her champagne in one go. Quickly Jake pour another shot for her and Lucas helplessly watched her drizzle the wine into her mouth.
Lucas’s jaw was tight with worry knowing Sia doesn’t have a head for alcohol. She does stupid things when drunk.
Holy fuck! She might lose her cool when she eventually gets drunk around another man.
“Please baby don’t do this to me. I beg of you.” He muttered under his breath, watching them with bated breath as she took shots and giggled like a baby.
Lucas clenched his hand on the rail when he saw Sia cease her laughter and Jake placed his fingers under her chin to hoist her head. He watched as they bored their eyes into each other’s, then Jake muttered something to her.
Tension rises in Lucas’s body, his heart detours into a marathon and his blood boiled like a volcano about to rupture. Biting on his lips so hard, he watched as Jake swipe the pad of his thumb along the seam of her lips and suddenly he crashed his lips on hers.
It’s a blur, everything is a blur. All Lucas could feel are pains biting deep inside him. Prying his eyes open he glimpsed blood oozing from the palm of his hand in frenzy.
His dizzying mind made it hard to process what just happened and when the knocks on the door repeated severally, he was unable to answer it.
The dizziness enveloped him and in the next heartbeat he sank his knees on the floor before he landed with his back on the marble floor.
“Are you okay?” Lucas saw someone towering over him but he couldn’t see the person clearly nor can he hear what they said to him. That was the last thing he saw before blackness enveloped his vision.

?Twenty Minutes Earlier?
Jake approached Sia, this time effortlessly as Sia already instructed her guards to pass him through. Then he rained compliments on her regarding her outstanding performance on the stage.
“Thanks, Jake. This is literally my first time trying it out. I’m glad my feet didn’t buckle. Otherwise, I’d have found myself on a hospital gurney.”
Chuckling, Jake offered. “We should celebrate this in a better way. I’m staying in the hotel nearby. I don’t know if you mind going there with me?”
Sia shook her head ‘no’ before responding. “It’s already midnight and I need to get some rest. Not that I can’t booze but I can’t leave here. But if you don’t mind we can booze in my room.” Sia offered.
To Sia, it’s a casual offer but to Jake, it’s a mouthwatering offer, hence he gladly accepted.
Chattering on their way, they both finally made it to Sia’s suite and Jake grabbed a bottle of champagne from the fridge before they both headed to the balcony.
Jake asked Sia if she’d love to do shots with him and in glee, Sia replied.
“Yes, I’d love that.” She cackled when Jake said he loves the challenge and filled her glass again to the brim.
The conference went exactly how Estrella presumed it’ll go. Jake interrupted her musings when he told her story about a guy from his freshman year in college who peed on his pants when he was asked to defend his assignment in front of the class.
In between their laughter, he told Sia to imagine what it’d be like if such a thing happened to her and Sia whined.
“It happens for real. You might have succeeded this time but you never can tell what will happen during the next conference. You might even pee on your dress.”
Whining, Sia mouth ‘never’ when Jake was pouring some wine into her now empty glass.
“Let’s watch and see how it goes next time.” He said, downing his own shot.
“Might take that as a challenge.” She worded and threw a wink at Jake.
Jake told her about his trip to Costa Rica and its success before bringing up the topic of his relentless yearning for her.
That was when he hunkered low, swipe the pad of his thumb on her lips, and smashed his lips on hers until the sound of a shattering glass obstructed them.
Jerking away from Jake, Sia looked behind her a saw a man grunting and staggering back into his dark room.
The loud grunts has her panicking and she sent for the staff to check up on him.

“I should head back to my suite.” Jake offered after the noise shattered their moment. Sia bites on her lips, wanting to say something but doesn’t know how to.
Jake is a fucking great guy. Handsome, wise, rich, educated, a hot kisser, and might as well be a good dicker but thoughts about Lucas keeps getting in her way.
She can’t wear it off her mind. His touch on her skin, his ramming of her cunt. It has been reeling her mind. It seems as if Lucas succeeded in possessing her again. Ingraining himself inside her.
“I’m sorry, Jake. I might not be able to reciprocate this feeling.” She muttered.
Edging towards her, Jake cupped her cheeks and kissed her so hard, he was unable to break away. For the first time in his life, he wants a woman but not as a fuck buddy or a toy but as his lover.
He loves Sia…with his heart. Prying her mouth open, he shoveled his tongue into hers and slam it in all the corners.
Circling his hand behind her, he bent her backward, slanting his face to deepen the kiss. He might have lost it. All thanks to Sia.
“Jake…” She moaned into his mouth, but all that was riveting her mind was Lucas. She nestled her hand on his shoulders, trying to make him cease the kiss.
Finally, Jake pulled away and Sia struggled to gather her breath.
“Do you love someone else?” Was Jake’s first question.
Peering at him from over her lashes she replied, “My feelings are jumbled. I don’t know what to do but I can’t seem to get him off my mind.”
“Does he want you back? He might not want you back, Sia…”
“He wants me, that much I know. But it’s messed up now. A lot happened. It’s a long story, Jake. I’m sorry I can’t do this with you.” She said, voice slightly above a whisper.
Nodding his head, Jake exited the room leaving Sia to drown in her thoughts.
