Trying to Score

She was jealous.
God, she was disgusting.
“Are you having a party?”
Fallon nodded her head. “Yeah, at Centennial Park.”
Lucas nodded his head, still not looking at her. “You can come, Lucas, if you want,” she said quietly, because she felt bad. She didn’t like what she had done to Lucas, but her jealousy was still eating at her, hardcore.
What if he bought Aiden something amazing, while all Fallon could do was afford the party?
God, this sucked.
A slow smile went over his face. “Thanks, I’ll be there.”
Fallon nodded, looking off to the side because she couldn’t take his smile right now. She was raw with emotion. He was in her kitchen, seeing that she wasn’t as successful as she should be by now. He now knew that she had kept something from him that could be considered the worst thing ever to keep from someone. She felt like a failure.
When they were together, she had talked so big, and she wasn’t half of what she thought she would be by now.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Fallon grinned over at Lucas. He was naked, the sheet hanging low along his hips as Fallon was tucked up beside him, also naked. They lay with all the windows open, letting the fresh ocean air into the room. The air was filled with salt, and Fallon swore she could taste it. She loved the ocean, she loved days like this. She just loved being thoroughly loved by Lucas.
Fallon nuzzled her nose against his pecs before putting her chin in her hand as she traced her finger along the beautiful words along his chest.
Never look back, never think twice.
It was his motto, and now it was hers.
“I wanna run Rocky Top Wines. I want to make our wine the best-selling wine in the country. I want to be the most powerful woman in the wine business. I want to have people scared of me because I am the best.”
He smiled, moving her hair behind her ear. “And?”
Fallon gave him a shy smile. “I wanna be married.”
“To me of course,” Lucas said with a smile, which she returned.
“Oh, of course, and I wanna have three kids. Two girls and one boy.”
He laughed. “Oh come on, three boys.”
“No, I want girls!” Fallon giggled, as he ran his hand down her back, taking a good chunk of her bottom in his hand.
“I don’t want any girls, I could never love another girl the way I love you.”
Fallon shook her head. Before she would never be jealous of his relationship with their children, she’d wanted it. But that was before, when nothing else mattered but them. Before, when she hadn’t lied to anyone. Before, when she thought he would never cheat on her.
“What school does he go to?”
Fallon looked up. “New Life Christian School, off Broadway, by the arena.”
“What grade is he in?”
“First,” Fallon said with all the love in the world. She was so proud of Aiden’s schooling.
“Is he good Fallon? Does he struggle with…” he stopped and Fallon’s heart broke.
He was scared that her baby had dyslexia.
“No Lucas, he is fine. Smartest kid in the class. An accelerated reader.”
Lucas smiled proudly. “So he has my good looks and your Stanford brain?”
Fallon smiled as she nodded. “He’s you all over, Lucas. Every day, he does something that reminds me so much of you.”
“He’s got your nose though,” Lucas said, grinning at her. Fallon couldn’t help herself, she grinned back.
“That’s about it. He’s busy like you. He likes to fight. He’s extremely imaginative.”
“Good, and, of course, he likes to fight and that’s not because of me. Remember I’ve seen you at a hockey game.”
A slow grin went across her face before Fallon quickly hid it. “I’m not that person anymore.”
“No one loses the kind of passion you had when I played. I’ve never seen a woman want to fight a grown-ass man until I met you.”
“Whatever,” Fallon said with a shake of her head. “I’m not like that. I’m calm, cool, collected.”
Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Fallon, you’ve cussed me out every time I’ve seen you.”
“You make me angry,” Fallon said simply.
“Alright Fallon, keep on denying your passion, but I don’t know why you do. I think it’s hot. You know I like your dirty mouth.”
Fallon’s body went on fire. Her ni**les pressed against her thin t-shirt, and her panties became damp instantly.
Damn man!
“Aren’t we were supposed to be talking about Aiden?” she all but groaned out. When she looked up at Lucas, she found that his eyes were looking down at the little peaks her ni**les made.
Fuck!
Fallon crossed her arms quickly. “Pig.”
“Oink oink, honey,” Lucas said as Fallon rolled her eyes. “Come on, you can’t expect me not to stare at two of the most beautiful ni**les that I’ve ever had in my mouth, can you?”
“I expect you to act like a gentlemen,” Fallon said through tight lips.
He inched a little closer to her as his eyes filled with lust. Fallon moved back a little, scared he was going to try to kiss her again. She could still feel his lips from last time, so no kissing. Fallon, no kissing, she repeatedly told herself as he said, “I don’t remember you wanting me to be a gentlemen when those ni**les were in my mouth.”
God, she was disgusting.
“Are you having a party?”
Fallon nodded her head. “Yeah, at Centennial Park.”
Lucas nodded his head, still not looking at her. “You can come, Lucas, if you want,” she said quietly, because she felt bad. She didn’t like what she had done to Lucas, but her jealousy was still eating at her, hardcore.
