Lucas

She's sitting at the table and from the second I pushed the button, I saw her jerk in her seat and go completely stiff as a board, clenching her thighs together.

That will only push it deeper.

I like this. It feels like immense power right now. I casually lean back against the bar with a beer while Allie grips the sides of her chair like a rocket about to go off.

Oh, she's hot like this. I'll bet it wouldn't take much to get her to rub herself in front of me.

"Lucas," John stops beside me. "How's it going?"

I can't take my eyes off her. "Fine, thanks. How's your evening, John?" I'm currently in control of your assistant right now and have her by the wet slit between her thighs, but, hey.

She should wear this to work. I think that could be interesting if she were in a meeting.

He orders a drink for himself and his wife while I watch Allie choke down on her water at the table. John mentions something about an auction. I didn't realize they had one tonight. Tom may have mentioned it, but I was on my phone looking at ways to make Allie squirm in public.

"...and he's making the announcement after."

I may have to drag her to the bathroom in a minute. John goes on about something and I can't help but push the button on the remote in my pocket, spiking the intensity up a level.

Or three.

She's beautiful in all forms. Mostly when she tries to cover her squeals from the people at the table. They glance in her direction every so often and when Allie turns her head, her cheeks are flushed and lips parted.

"I think it will be good for the community," John says. Sure, whatever he thinks. I don't really care. "Plus, there are other options for him to pursue, and we're lucky to have you."

"Mhm."

Allie's ring is in my other pocket and every time I feel the box move against my leg, I get nervous. She could say no. I don't think she will, but she could.

Fuck, I hope she doesn't.

"Alright Lucas, have a good evening." John gets his drinks and leaves me to go back to his table.

I will have a great evening. I'll be making love with my future tonight.

This place is the kind of thing Kat's family would drag me to over the last several months. I didn't mind it since it was free and I had nothing better to do. I rarely drink because I'm not a fan, but my nerves keep getting the best of me and I need to calm the fuck down.

In three hours, I'll be asking her. It's a full moon tonight, the skies are clear, maybe a wolf in the distance will howl, I don't know. All I know is I'll be asking her and I'm positive I won't be breathing while I wait for her answer.

Her hips slightly move from the left to the right, and I increase the intensity. Her head jerks back a little and the fact that no one is looking tells me she's getting better at keeping it quiet.

God, I love doing this with her.

I need to find the bathroom and induct her into a new form of public sex. She probably wouldn't want to do it in my car again. At least not for a while. Allie's eye still twitches when she sees my car. It's hardly noticeable, but at least she doesn't scowl at the back seat like she's seeing ghosts of us back there.

It's not like it was a shameful thing. It was beautiful, and we made Jadon that night. She did great for her first time with me.

And her second, but that wasn't in the car.

Just as I'm considering going back over to her, someone knocks into my shoulder. I don't normally care, but seeing as it was a hard knock—too hard to be accidental—I turn to get a look at the guy.

Ted looks over his shoulder at me with an icy stare with a hint of rage in his eyes.

Oh, he wants to play like that?

I turn the intensity down for Allie just enough so I can monitor this asshole.

"What's up, Teddy?" I ask. He stopped at the bar and I scoot my ass down while he barks his order at the bartender. "Thought I told you to stay away from Allie."

Ted gets his drink with ice. It smells disgusting and strong. He throws it back with ease. "I told you he won't let you have her."

He's clearly been drinking by the subtle slur in his words. He's still coherent, though.

I turn up the level of fun between Allie's legs again.

I watch her from the corner of my eye while she struggles to sit still. "Why, exactly, does it matter to you or to Mark that she's with me? She doesn't belong to any of you."

"It's her and it's you." Ted gets a second drink and tosses it down his throat like water. "He needs her to not ask questions and for you to play your part."

Oh, so he's an honest drunk.

I pull up a chair and settle in for a moment. Allie is going to have to wait—not that she's miserable. I can see that clearly from here. If she's a good girl, I'll clean her up with my tongue after this.

"He doesn't want her to ask questions about what?"

Ted looks at me from the side. "The accident."

"How are you two even connected? Is it Kat?" I wouldn't be surprised if they were sleeping together. He flat out told Allie Kat was prettier.

I'd say Ted needs to get his head checked. Sure, I'm biased, but he's also an idiot with issues of some sort.

"It doesn't even matter, and it's none of your business." He rolls his eyes and mumbles under his breath. "Lucas fucking Kennedy. Should have known. No wonder Kat was so fucking psycho about you and her."

Kat is psycho in general. "Did you even care about Allie? I'm genuinely curious, Theodore. She had this whole thing cooked up in her head that you were it for her." I poke his arm, and that seems to annoy him. "What am I missing here? You hit her, right? You hit Allie?"

He scowls at his empty glass on the bar. "Her dad would have liked her to end up with the responsible kid she grew up knowing. She would have moved away with me and Tom would have followed wherever we went."

What the hell?

Ted spins with the ice cubes in his glass with his finger. "Mark approached me when I was sixteen and planned to run for office in a few years. He needed community support and Tom is a pillar in the community."

I'm starting to hate Mark. "And Tom hates Mark." I don't know if Tom has that much pull around here, but if Mark is worried about that, maybe he does. Well-known coach everyone knows and loves? Everybody knows Allie, too.

Maybe people trust Tom more than anyone else.

"Does Tom ever talk about his wife's medical treatment?"

Man, this guy is spilling the beans right now.

I frown and watch Ted throw back another drink. Ted turns his head, finds Allie, and looks back at me. "Mark's wife and Allie's mom were in some experimental drug group together. One was supposed to get the experiment, and the other got the..." He waves his hand around while trying to place the word.

"The placebo?" I think that's the word for it.

Ted snaps his fingers. "Yeah, that."

I think I know where this is going. "Mark paid them off, didn't he?" Corrupt son of a bitch. And Tom isn't that stupid. He's probably known all this time and never said a word. "Tom's wife was supposed to get that medicine and Mark had it changed somehow." I'm pretty sure that's illegal and against some kind of oath or something those people take.

I'll be asking Tom about that.

Now I'm wondering if it was Tom that got me my job or Mark. Pretty convenient timing if Ted was supposed to propose and take Allie away or whatever.

"I wasn't driving the car," he says. "It doesn't matter. Look at the room, Lucas." Ted points a shaking finger over to where Mark and his wife are standing together like the perfect couple. He's shaking hands with everyone, including John.

"That's Judge Leason. Mark got him in his position and paid for his campaign. Next to him is Al Woodson. He works in the District Attorney's office. Whatever you think you're going to do with that file you stole, it won't matter. Mark owns everything in this town, and once Tom is gone, he'll have what he needs. Support from every angle. You just need to get back in line where he wants you or he'll make your life a living hell. Trust me on that one."

I want to punch him in the fucking face. "Which part was hell for you, Ted? Allie or my son?"

"Allie was always the plan, and who better than the virginal girl that everyone was afraid to touch?" He shakes his head. "Until Lucas fucking Kennedy stuck his dick in her and took what was mine since I was six. Not only that, you filled her with a bastard."

I grab him by the collar and turn Ted to face Allie. "Look at her." I have my other hand in my pocket and turn up the dial again. "She was never yours, Ted. You didn't want her when she would have given you everything. Not until Mark Vandenburg paid you off. I guess I should thank you for being a stupid fucking prick because not only is Jadon worth everything and not a bastard, but Allie gets to be happy with me instead of unsatisfied with you and Mark's money."

Ted's mouth falls open while watching her squirm in her seat. Yeah, had they really wanted each other, they would have given it to each other. With the intense way he's watching her, I can't tell if he just wanted Allie for whatever money Mark was paying him or if he really has feelings for her.

I suspect there's a mix of both. He seems to hate the fact he couldn't be the only one inside of her. I don't think he realizes how much worth he put into Allie's virginity rather than the person she is.

"You shouldn't have screwed around, Ted. If you really wanted her, you would have done everything to have her. Doesn't matter how many girls you filled in the middle or what Mark wanted. Hope they were worth it. And now I get to taste this–" I turn the notch up one more. "Sweet..." Two more, and Allie jerks again in her seat, grabbing onto the table. "Fucking..."

We watch while she throws her head back and breathes out hard. Her legs and shoulders shake and Allie doesn't even look like she cares who sees her right now. No one is looking, anyway. Everyone here is drunk off their asses already and dinner hasn't been served.

"Orgasm. That's all for me right there." Allie's shoulders drop and I know she's done. "It doesn't matter how you feel about her, if you felt trapped from the time you were sixteen, or whatever your hangup was for her. You had your whole life to claim her if you really wanted her. If I were you, it would have been done when I was six."

I lean closer to Ted's ear to whisper while he watches her come down from a high I know he's never witnessed. It's a beautiful sight and Ted is seeing something he never got and never will have. "Have a pleasant night, Ted. I know I will. Maybe I'll put another one of my bastards inside of her tonight while she comes on my dick screaming my name on our bed in our house, where I'll get to have her whenever the fuck I want. She'll wrap her legs around my face, choke on my cock, and sleep in my arms for the rest of our lives."

Yeah, it's a bit much, but he's a big boy and needs to learn to listen. He just screwed himself by spilling all that to me. I know enough and I can leave here with everything to bury Mark alive.

Ted shakes his head and chuckles. "He's going to come after you, Lucas. Just you wait. She'll end up with me in the end once he makes you look like the fucking deadbeat you are. Allie will turn on you in a minute." He sounds almost sober saying it.

Funny.

"I'll deal with Mark. You stay the fuck away from Allie and Jadon, Ted. I've given you enough warning. The next time you come around her, I'll be the one hitting you."

"You'll see. Crazy runs in that family." He gets out of his seat and bumps into me again before dragging his feet away from me.

Pathetic.

I make my way over to Allie while she stares down at her lap. Her lips are puffy and she's catching her breath. I stare while she tries to adjust her dress. Her cheeks are glowing and she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, especially with her hair a little messed up.

"You..." she giggles, and a grin spreads across my face.

I cup her soft cheek. "What is it?"

Allie leans in and kisses me. She pulls off just before I can taste her lips and whispers into my mouth. "Do you know where the bathroom is?"

Fuck, of course I do. "Why do you want to know?"

She wiggles her brows like the kinky little thing that she is. I knew it. Just needed to unleash her inner deviancy. I reach under the tablecloth until I'm between her thighs. She lets them fall open for me while I push her panties aside and stroke her insides and rub her swollen lips.

"You have fun?" I ask. I can tell she did by the way she soaked through.

She bites her lip and nods. "I thought I would be embarrassed, but I knew you were watching me. Did I look stupid?"

How could she possibly think that? "I wanted to be right here more than anything, Allie."

She reaches down and puts her hand high on my thigh. "Let's go, Lucas. I want to go home with you."

"Now?" They didn't even serve dinner yet. "I thought you needed to mingle."

"Dad can do it. They won't miss me."

I check over my shoulder to make sure Ted is nowhere to be seen. Mark has his back to us and I catch Tom scowling at him from across the room. No one will notice if we leave.

"Come on." I pat her thighs one last time and help her out of her chair. She leans in close to me and I wrap an arm around her waist while we head for the door. "I want to take you somewhere." It's just more time alone for us.

"You smell like beer."

"I had three sips and got distracted by the beautiful girl wearing a red dress in front of me."

Allie's cheeks turn pink, and she covers her face.

"What were you thinking about?"

I consider making a detour into an empty ballroom as we pass and putting her to her knees, but I'll save it for when I get her home and in my bed where she belongs.

We pass several people deep in their conversations. Allie checks around before whispering in my ear. "I was wondering if you had any other plans for us tonight. It sounds like you have the entire night planned, Lucas."

We step out the front door, and I hand the valet the ticket for my car. Allie shivers and I drop my jacket over her shoulders before pulling her into me.

"Allie, I have plans for the rest of our lives."

- this will be every other day (except weekends) while I work on the WAG beginning. I'll try to do a few chapters at a time if time permits. Thanks all for being patient with me through this one!
