Trying to Score (43 page)

********************************

Fallon was having the worst week of her life. Things were nuts at work, Audrey was acting weird and Aiden was missing Lucas something crazy.

So was she.

Her lips still hadn’t stop tingling since Lucas had left, and with Aiden talking about him every five minutes, Fallon couldn’t help but miss him. She had thought of him nonstop, and she wondered what he was doing at every moment of the day. They had talked a few times on the phone, but it was about mundane stuff, nothing that made her toes curl. She was ready for him to come home — probably more than Aiden was — and boy was he ready. He had started a ‘Countdown Until Daddy Comes Home’ calendar, and he constantly had the NHL network on just in case they talked about Lucas. It was a tearful goodbye when Lucas left, and Fallon didn’t think they would be fully okay until Lucas was home.

Which was bad, so bad.

It was as if she had already decided to give him the two weeks, that they were in a relationship — but maybe she had, and maybe they were. She didn’t fully trust him, but she was starting to. She hadn’t thought of him and Allison at all, but she wrote that off as him not being there, so really she didn’t have a clue what was going on with her. She just knew that she missed Lucas and wanted him home.

Fallon pulled into the driveway of her house and took a deep breath. Luckily, it had been an early day for her. With the campaign coming up the following week, Fallon was working around the clock to get things done. She had been so tired and was excited when her whole afternoon was free. The only thing that sucked was that she didn’t get off in time to get Aiden. Fallon grabbed her briefcase and got out the car, heading for the front door.

Fallon opened the door and found Audrey sitting on the bottom stairs, her face in her hands. Fallon dropped her briefcase and went straight for her.

She had been acting so weird the past couple weeks and this had to be the moment when she told Fallon what was going on. Fallon wasn’t sure how much more she could take. Audrey was her best friend and not knowing what was wrong with her was generally killing her with worry. Audrey bit her lip. “You have to promise me, you won’t get mad.”

Fallon thought it through for a moment and decided that it must not be that bad because Audrey wouldn’t ask for her to promise that if it was serious. “I promise.”

“Aiden got wrote up in school today for rapping,” she said in a rush.

Fallon blinked before clearing her throat. “Excuse me?!”

“AIDEN!” Audrey yelled. They both listened as the door upstairs opened and shut before Aiden appeared beside Audrey, not looking at Fallon. “Tell your mom what you said at school today.”

Aiden didn’t even dare to look up at Fallon as he said the words to a popular rap song in a rush. When he finished, Fallon was sure she was about to pass out. Not only was the lyrics very explicit, but of course, the kid had flow. Just like his dad. Fallon had promised she wouldn’t get mad, and she wasn’t.

She was fucking furious and she was going to kill Lucas Brooks.

“Go to your room Aiden James Brooks, right now,” Fallon said through her teeth. Aiden was gone before she even finished his name.

“My fucking baby daddy! Who else!? Ah!” Fallon stomped through the house, going to the kitchen and pulling out her laptop to see where Lucas’ game was.

“Okay, well I need to talk to you about something, so I am flying out in an … hour,” she said when she found the first flight out. “Are you at your house?”

“Yeah, why can’t we talk over the phone?” he asked with laughter in his voice. He probably thought she was coming out there for sex.

Instead of cussing him out, Fallon hung up just as Audrey came down with a bag. Fallon eyed her before saying, “What the hell is that?”

Fallon shrugged her shoulders. “True. I gotta go. I’ll be back tomorrow,” Fallon said passing by her and stopping at the stairs. “Aiden James!”

Aiden came running down the stairs. “Stay off your iPad, your games, anything you like. You sit in that bed and read a book. I’m very upset with you, and we will discuss this tomorrow when I get home.”

Aiden nodded slowly before turning and running back up the stairs. Fallon didn’t blame him for being scared because Fallon was pissed, and Lucas Brooks was about to get the cussing of his life. Everyone was always scared of big Lucas Brooks, but not today.

Today, he was going to be scared of mama bear Fallon Parker!

After a long four-hour flight, a 45-minute wait for a rental car, and an hour drive, Fallon finally pulled into the beach house that held so many memories it made it hard for her to breathe. It looked exactly the same, but Fallon didn’t care. All she cared about was getting to Lucas so she could yell, scream, and probably knock some sense into him. She climbed the stairs quickly and when she reached the glass door, she saw Lucas sitting on the couch, watching TV. She knocked and he looked over, a smirk forming on his face as he got up.

Anger bubbled inside of her; she was going to slap that smirk right off his beautiful, sexy face.

As he opened the door, Fallon noticed that he only wore a pair of board shorts and she had to beg herself not to look. It didn’t work though. He gave her a seductive grin as leaned against the door jam. “It sure is great seeing you here again.”

Fallon glared as acid dripped from her voice. “I could freaking kill you.”

Lucas face scrunched together in confusion. “Huh?”

“Tell me if this sounds like something you would listen to,” Fallon said before repeating the lyrics to Chris Brown’s
Look at Me Now
. Lucas’ eyes got bigger with each word that left Fallon’s mouth. She knew the song well, it was one of her favorites, but Aiden shouldn’t know it!

“You jerk!” she screamed, pushing him into the doorway, “I asked you one thing! Don’t listen to that junk around my child and what do you do! You listened to it!”

She smacked him in the chest again, and Lucas yelled out, “Quit! It isn’t a big deal.”

It was as if the only thing Fallon saw was red.

She reared back and smacked Lucas across his face. His head whipped to the side, and then back before he looked her deep in her eyes. Nothing was said for a heated moment as they both breathed heavily while still staring each other down. It was as if the air was crackling around them while her hand burned from where she had slapped him. Lucas’ eyes were as dark as a thunder cloud and Fallon knew hers were just as dark with the same thing.

Lucas didn’t know who attacked who first. All he did know was that he had Fallon’s face in his hands, his hard dick pressed against her hot core, and that they both were ripping at her naughty little suit. His lips burned against hers as he kissed her with all the pent-up lust he had been feeling for weeks. He couldn’t believe it was happening, and he knew she was going to question the hell out of it later, but it didn’t matter.

Because
this
was happening
now
.

Lucas pulled away from her lips, biting at her jaw and throat as both their hands moved along the many buttons of Fallon’s suit. When he saw her outside of the front door in the sleek black fitted business suit, his dick twitched from the need of having her out of it. He loved how it felt under his hands, the soft silk against his hard hands, but he would like it more if it was on the floor. Lucas bit into her throat and she took in a startled breath, her hands dropping from the suit she was so desperately trying to get out of. He knew her neck was her hot spot, and he loved the way her eyes would roll up behind into her head as she bit her bottom lip. Lucas decided that he needed the damn jacket off.

He wanted, no, he needed her breast in his mouth.

Now.

Fallon’s hands went up his bare back and goose bumps broke out across his skin as he tried to get each button undone. It wasn’t working though. Lucas leaned back, giving her a heated look before he took a hold of both sides of the fabric and ripped. Fallon let out a strangled cry as buttons went flying everywhere. A slow grin went across his face when he saw the sheer white lace bra she wore. Her dark swollen nipples were delectable and his mouth watered at the sight. Lucas didn’t even bother pulling the fabric away, he took one between his teeth, biting softly as Fallon let out little whimpers that had Lucas so turned on, he wasn’t sure if he was going to last. He pushed his pelvis into hers, showing her his need, before pulling the fabric down. He then swirled his tongue around her sweet nipple while his other hand reached around her, looking for the clasp of her bra. He needed this off too. Hell, he needed it all off.

Fallon was putty against the wall as he did what he pleased to her breast. With every bite, every rake of his teeth, and every hot glance shared, her eyes became darker, sexier. When he couldn’t get the bra clasp off, it ended up ripped on the floor along with her jacket. He took in the sight of both her beautiful breasts before she pulled his face back up to her for a long provocative kiss. Her hands gripped his neck before going down his shoulders to his arms. She intertwined her fingers with his, and he raised them above her head, holding them with one hand as his other moved down her naked torso.

“Lucas,” she whispered against his lips.

“God, yeah?” he asked, biting her bottom lip before moving his tongue along it. She let out a low throaty moan before they deepened the kiss once more. He didn’t know what she wanted to say and he didn’t feel a bit bad for not caring. He moved his lips from hers, biting and sucking as he made his way to his knees. He kissed and licked around her belly button as he tried to pull her skirt down.

It was moving.

It was so damn tight against her skin that he actually stopped and looked up at her. “What the hell?”

“On the side, please, don’t stop,” she gasped. Lucas continued the assault his lips and teeth were making against her belly button as his fingers tried to find the zipper. After a moment of looking, he got fed up and moved his hand to go under it. His hands only reached to her knees because the damn skirt was so tight! There was a slit, so he took a hold of both sides and ripped up the back of the skirt. She looked down at him with wide eyes as he pulled the skirt off her, and threw it to the side. He gave her a sexy smirk before looking back at the dampness between her thighs. Her panties didn’t match her bra — they were gray cotton and in the heart that grazed her mound, it said ‘Get ready for some fun!’

He couldn’t help himself; he looked up at her and grinned. She looked down at him through heavy-lidded eyes as a small smirk graced her beautiful swollen lips. He looked back at the heart, and leaned forward, taking a small bite of it. She let out a loud cry as her fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer into her. Lucas moved his hands up the back of her thighs and over her butt before grabbing the fabric from behind and pulling it down, exposing her dripping wet flesh. She stepped out of her panties, and he threw them off to the side before running his tongue slowly up her thigh. When he went along her swollen hot lips, she let out another agonizing cry of need before he ran his tongue back down her other thigh.

The taste of her on his tongue had him so hard he had to shift a little because it hurt so badly.

“Please, please,” she breathed as she arched herself towards him. He looked up at her, his breathing matching hers before licking his lips in want. Fallon bit into her bottom lip, her eyes begging him before he ran his tongue along one of her swollen lips. With every swipe of his tongue, she let out long low groans before taking in a choppy quick breath. When he opened her up and dipped his tongue into her, she let out a ragged sigh as her hands slammed into the wall. He almost came at the sounds she was making as her continued to love her with his tongue. When he ran his tongue in slow agonizing circles around her taut clit, she came hard, her body jerking violently against his mouth as she took in short, sharp gasps.
