“Good, very good!” Ivana Bennett sneered, “Lucas Walker, you’ve got guts!”
He raised his right hand, with one arm propping his head, lazily peering down at her, “Thanks for the compliment.”
Ivana gave a small laugh and then, under the covers, she slowly lifted her leg, pulled it back then kicked with all her might.
Lucas had already sensed her movement.
His large hand beneath the cover grabbed, catching her hate-filled right foot as it swung over.
“Stop making a fuss, or else, I’ll get really angry.”
Stop making a fuss?!
He thought she was playing with him?
He was really getting angry?
She was angry enough to commit murder!
Ivana quickly kicked her other foot in his direction.
This time, her movement was extremely swift and ruthless.
The kick hit Lucas squarely in his abdomen.
He instantly slid down from under the covers, tumbling onto the carpet.
Clink clink clunk clunk!
The sound of the chain connecting the two people jingled.
Lucus reached out and pulled, dragging Ivana from the bed onto him, the quilt coming with her.
She lifted her hand, coiling the chain further around him, not realizing that Lucas was doing the same.
The chain now wound both their necks into a loop.
As both of them moved to tighten the chain simultaneously, the distance between their faces, already too close for comfort, was immediately closed.
Foreheads touching foreheads, noses touching noses, eyelashes brushing eyelashes, lips touching lips.
The moment their faces met, both of them froze for a second, neither expecting this scenario.
“Let go!”
Both whispered simultaneously, their words brushing past each other’s lips as they spoke.
Her lips, soft and sweet, could not help reminding him of their previous kiss.
“Kiss me, and I’ll let you go.”
“I’d rather kiss a pig!”
Ivana raised her right hand, loosening the tight chain.
The golden chain that confined the two naturally slackened.
Lucas cocked an eyebrow, before she could withdraw her head from the loop, he rolled over, pressing her down onto the carpet, unapologetically moving in for a kiss.
One trying to force a kiss, the other desperately trying to dodge.
Failing to escape, Ivana decided to bite him.
After all the struggling, both were left panting and gasping for breath, their faces wet with slobber.
Ivana had been kissed by him, Lucas had been bitten by her.
Feeling that something was stirring under the thin fabric between them, Ivana hastily voiced a stop.
“Wait!”
In terms of strength, Lucas held the absolute advantage.
Continuing like this, she wouldn’t stand a chance.
Blindly showing off her strength was not a smart move.
If power was not the way, then she would have to use her wits.
Lucas lifted his face from her cheek, his blue eyes squinting at her.
“Let’s take a break, I’m tired.”
Ivana looked at him as she spoke, sounding as casual as if she was simply tired after a game of cards with a friend.
Knowing that this little wily girl was likely scheming something, Lucas didn’t expose her, but simply rolled off and got up.
Immediately, Ivana pulled a blanket around herself.
Holding her hand out to Lucas, Ivana grinned, “Untie me first, I need to use the bathroom!”
Lucas surely wouldn’t follow her to the bathroom, would he?
“Really?” Lucas also laughed, “I need to go too, shall we go together?”
He knew Ivana was making an excuse.
But playing along and teasing her was amusing.
Who would want to go to the bathroom with him?!
Ivana snorted and withdrew her hand, “I don’t feel like going anymore!”
“But, I need to!” Grabbing Ivana’s hand, Lucas strutted towards the bathroom.
