Trying to Score (57 page)

Lucas smiled before placing another kiss on her head. He leaned his head against hers, taking a deep breath in. As Fallon listened to his heartbeat, she had a small, content smile on her face. Lucas’ hand shifted from her ass to her inner thigh and Fallon rolled her eyes.

“I won’t, that’s why I say no,” Fallon laughed. She looked up at him to see him grinning down at her. He cupped her face as his other hand came under her armpit, pulling her up to him to where he crushed his mouth against hers. She lay on top of him, her hands running up his sides as her mouth moved with his.

She never said they couldn’t make out a little.

When a knock came at the door and it flew open, Fallon broke the kiss, looking over to where Aiden stood in the middle of the doorway. She looked down at Lucas, and smiled. “See.”

Fallon cut him a dirty look before Aiden put his hands on his hips and said, “Jamie Right said her mommy and daddy cuddle naked, so y’all must not be cuddlin’ right.”

Lucas looked over at Fallon and gave her a wink before saying, “We must not be. I think Jamie Right’s parents have the right idea. They must do it when Jamie’s home for her to know it and it seems that Jamie is okay.”

“Because I don’t have school tomorrow, and if you don’t lose the sass in your voice I’m gonna come on over there and pop that bottom. Now go on, Aiden James Brooks,” she said, sitting up straighter. Aiden could have such a mouth sometimes. She had no clue where that came from…surely not her.

Aiden turned quickly and left the room, shutting the door behind him as Lucas chuckled lowly. “Man, he’s got a little mouth on him, just like his mommy.”

Fallon giggled as he pulled her to him, meeting his lips with hers again. Of course, she didn’t pull away. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him hard as her leg hooked over his hip. “Mmm...” he moaned against her mouth before pressing his hardness to her softness. Their hands roamed each other’s bodies, and Fallon was dizzy with lust. When Lucas slid his hand into Fallon’s panties, she pulled back.

She fluttered her eyelashes at him innocently as a cocky grin came across his face. “Baby girl, I am never too tired to drive into you,” he said, pressing into her.

“Then you need to go,” she said simply, ignoring the long hard length of him that had her thinking that they could have sex and hopefully be quiet about it.

Lucas laughed as he wrapped her up in his arms tight. She snuggled her nose into the nook of his neck and took in a deep breath. She loved the smell of him. It was such a mainly smell; it screamed sex, he screamed sex.

Why weren’t they having sex?

When the sex-filled clouds floated away and Fallon remembered that Aiden was in the next room over, she smiled as she cuddled closer. They lay in comfortable silence and Fallon thought Lucas had fallen asleep until she felt his hand move along her hip.

Lucas nodded his head as he laced up his skates. He only had a half day at practice since he had to head to Shelbyville for the Rocky Top Wines campaign. He was ready to go. He wanted to get it done because then Fallon, Aiden, and he could leave for California. Three days in complete bliss with his two favorite people — Lucas couldn’t ask for more. Well maybe to skip the campaign but it meant everything to Fallon, so he would suck it up and get it done.

Lucas laughed as he rolled his eyes. He was about to tell Phillip how girlie his hair looked but Shea came towards them and said, “The only thing girly is you, Anderson.”

The guys all started laughing as Shea sat down beside Lucas. Anderson sent Shea an evil look before grabbing his stick and heading out the locker room. Lucas shook his head, re-lacing his skates as everyone started to leave for the ice. When it was only him and Shea, he said, “So explain to me the reason you hate Anderson.”

Shea laughed. “I don’t hate him. He’s just stays on my bad side.”

“Why?”

Shea chuckled as he threw on a practice jersey. “When me and Elli were dating, Anderson would mess with me and flirt with her all the time. He knew it got under my skin and ever since I’ve had an issue with him,” he said simply.

Lucas chuckled. “You are a crazy dude when it comes to Elli.”

Shea laughed. “Yeah, she’s my heart and soul though, and we both know that if some rookie started flirting with Fallon they would end up face first on the ice.”

Lucas let out a booming laugh as he stood up, grabbing his stick, “Damn right about that.”

Lucas knew he was at Rocky Top Winery when he saw the large orange building. It stood taller than the arena, and beside it was an even larger white building that had solar panels on the roof. Even with size and color of the buildings, Lucas couldn’t help but admire the gorgeousness of the vineyards. They were large and full of color. It seemed that they outstretched for days and Lucas was in awe of the land’s beauty. Lucas found himself jealous of Fallon for growing up there. Michigan was beautiful, but Rocky Top Winery was picturesque.

Lucas followed the directions Fallon gave him and ended up by a little cabin that was on the outside of the vineyards. People were everywhere. Camera crews, wardrobe people, people in suits, people with makeup, basically any and every kinds of people were there, and even with it all, Lucas’ eyes fell on Fallon. She stood tall in a champagne-colored skirt with a white lacey blouse tucked into it and the champagne-colored lace high heels brought out her sexy calves. She wore her hair down with a braid along the side of her head, tucked behind her ear. She had big white glasses on her face and she was doing what she did best.

Yelling at people.

“What are you doing!? I said to the right!” Fallon yelled before throwing her hands up in the air. Lucas laughed as he shook his head. She was the most amazing person ever but she had the worst temper. As Lucas watched her, he couldn’t help but love everything about her, but at that moment, it was her legs. They were so long, and so sexy.

“Shit,” he whispered as he watched her move around. He was regretting not going to her job and having his way with her. Lucas hadn’t been home in days and the past couple nights had been torture. He loved sleeping with Fallon but he really loved having sex with her.

When Eleanor Adler walked over to her, he smiled. There was no denying that Mrs. Adler was pregnant. Her little belly poked out far in her light blue button up shirt that had a belt right under her breast. The length of the shirt covered her bottom that was clad in tight blue jeans. Lucas remembered Shea telling him that Elli was a fashion freak, and Lucas couldn’t agree more. She was gorgeous and chic with her hair in a messy bun and big black glasses on her face. To top everything off, she had on brown high heel boots, causing Lucas to think that Shea Adler was a lucky man.

And Lucas was green with envy.

As he watched the two women talk and smile at each other, Lucas wished like hell that Fallon was pregnant. His desire for a baby was intense since he didn’t get to watch Aiden grow up, and really, he just wanted a baby. He wanted the little bundle that he could hold in his hands. He wanted the slobber, the diapers, the coos and spit up — he wanted it all and with Fallon.

Only Fallon.

When Fallon turned and saw him, a slow grin came across her face as she sashayed towards him. He smiled back at her and when she reached him, he pulled her close for a sweet kiss.

She led him into a tent that was lined in suits and held two ladies that looked like they were on a mission. Fallon sent him a grin before pointing to each lady. “This is Madison and Kaley, they will be dressing you and basically making sure you look good. This is Lucas,” Fallon said and turned to look back at Lucas. “When you’re done, come on out, we will be going over the shots and you can meet Tasha.”

“Tasha?” he asked as she went to leave.

Fallon leaned against the post before looking back at him, “Yup, the hot model you’ll be posing with.” She gave him one last grin before fluttering out of the tent. As Madison and Kaley went to work on him, Lucas thought that Tasha sounded like a bunch of trouble.

When Lucas came out the tent, he pulled at the tightness at his neck from the tie he wore. He hated wearing ties, especially skinny ones. They seemed to choke him, and when he told the women that dressed him that, they laughed. He didn’t feel like arguing with them because they would probably call Fallon and then he would have to argue with her. He did not want that at all, so he sucked it up, ran his hands down the black suit, and went to look for Fallon.

When Lucas found her, she was standing with a busty blonde who wore a short orange dress. The dress was pretty but very plain; the only thing that made it pretty was the lace around the neckline. Fallon must have seen Lucas coming out the corner of her eye because she turned mid-sentence and said, “Tasha, this is Lucas Brooks. Lucas this is Tasha McNeal, she will be playing your other half.”

A person would think that with the grin that was plastered on Fallon’s face, she had just won the lottery or something. It was so damn big and fake that it irked a nerve in Lucas’ body. Lucas met eyes with Tasha as she gave him an appreciate smile and he cringed.

Fallon turned and moved her hands up under his chin, loosening the tie. When she gave him her real smile, his heart skipped a beat as their eyes met.

“Better?” she asked.

Lucas smiled as he nodded. “Much, thank you.”

“Anytime. Okay!” she said clapping her hands together. Lucas could tell she was nervous but she was hiding it well with that big fake smile. “Manuel, Elli? Can y’all come on over here real quick? Oh Dad, you too.”

Lucas turned to see William and Elli walking towards them. A very skinny man that had a camera in his hands followed behind them and when everyone reached them, they all smiled. Fallon flashed a big grin before turning and pulling a sheet off six large posters. Everyone took a step forward looking at the images as Fallon started talking.

“So here we go, first we’ll start outside, where Tasha will greet Lucas since he just came home from a hockey game. He’ll throw the bag down and pick her up before kissing her; she’ll be holding a bottle. Next we’ll move inside for a romantic dinner,” Fallon moved her hand along each poster and Lucas’ stomach twisted with each image of him and Tasha together. “Next, we’ll go out to the vineyard where there will be shots of them walking away, Lucas holds the glass, Tasha with the bottle.”
