Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 36: Thinking of her.

Meanwhile, in City K, ambiguous noises could be heard from a luxurious hotel suite. Two bodies were entwined together as the woman helplessly laid down on the bed with the man on top of her. His fingers were wrapped around her neck tight enough to slow down the blood flow to her head but loose enough to allow her to breathe.

Her eyes were slightly hazy as she took shallow breaths. She knew that this man was not serious about her at all. He barely said a word to her and the few messages that they had exchanged consisted of him giving her a date, time and location to meet.

These locations for the past two times were hotels where they would both go and have sex and separate. He might stay the night or leave immediately after. She always felt slightly weird after their interactions, she wishes to make some progress with him but he would completely ignore her efforts.

Her hair was stuck to her flushed face as she made eye contact with the man that was currently humping her relentlessly. His face was defined, with frosty blue eyes a straight nose and thin lips. He was so handsome that she thought that he should be put to display. Sometimes she couldn't believe that she was sleeping with such a man.

The man's blue eyes coldly looked at the woman beneath him as his hips furiously collided with hers. He was being very vigorous as if he was punishing her. At that moment he was not looking at a stranger's eyes but his ex-girlfriend's. He had lost count of the number of women that had laid beneath him like this who had similarities with her.

If he knew she would be stuck in his head for all this time, then he shouldn't have let her go. He didn't look for her because of his ego and the last thing that he had wanted to do was admit that he had feelings for her.

He was Tyler Ainsworth, he did not bow down to anyone, much less cling on to someone he had discarded. Tyler was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the girl's breathless moan as she came, He felt her tighten around him as her body shuddered from pleasure. He continued to roughly penetrate her before he soon followed and collapsed beside her.

As he was catching his breath he felt the girl's body press against his side. After their vigorous work out both of them had a thin sheen of sweat on their bodies him and lay her head on his chest and started drawing circles on his chest. He mindlessly toyed with her hair before he started to compare her to Jen. The girl's hair was only shoulder length as opposed to Jen's waist-length hair.

He had never admitted it to anyone but he had always loved her thick and long mane of hair. She was also shorter than Jen, she also wasn't as voluptuous. The only thing that had really caught his attention was her face.

Even though they were not identical, he couldn't help himself but compare them because their eyes were very similar. Otherwise, she had a button nose compared to Jen's aquiline nose. Her mouth was also slightly wider. She was cute, but Jen was so beautiful she could be described as exotic.

Tyler got annoyed with the fact that he was thinking about her again and decisively got out of the bed. He pulled on his boxers and picked up his phone and his pack of cigarettes and went out to the balcony.

He stood there for a couple of minutes as the night breeze soothed him and finally took a cigarette and placed it between his lips before lighting it up. He took a long drag from it and looked at the cloudy sky as he watched the smoke he blew out dissipate in the night breeze.

He unlocked his phone and went through his chat and saw that several of his friends had messaged him. He opened one of the chats and the message his friend sent read.

[Isn't this your girl?] And a link was attached to the text.

He clicked on the link and saw the title of the article, he was not fazed until he saw the photo that came right after the headline. He felt as if his heart had sunk down to his stomach when he saw Jen's photo. She was smiling at another man, and she looked happy.

She was with another man while he was still going through the heartache of losing her. He furiously put the cigarette on his lips and inhaled the smoke, he felt himself calm down a bit. In his anger he did not hear the door of the balcony slide open, he suddenly felt a warm body pressed against his back. Tyler did not even turn to look at the girl.

It was the fourth time meeting her but he still did not know her name. He continued scrolling through the article that described the party that took place that night to officially welcome the future heir of Lewis & Co. The article also described how the couple had arrived and how the 'mysterious' lady seemed familiar with Hellen and Noah.

A few other pictures of them walking side by side and talking to Noah and Hellen were attached to the article, with other pictures of them talking to the guests and finally, pictures of them standing impossibly close each other with their faces almost touching as they were gliding on the dance floor.

The last photo looked like a fairy tale and he couldn't help the heaviness he felt in his chest when he saw how Jen was looking at Lucas. He remembered that once upon a time she had looked at him that way. Seeing that gaze being directed to someone else made him feel strangely angry.

He stood still as he looked at Jen's face. She looked happy, she had not smiled at him like during their relationship. Tyler started thinking that it was probably because of everything else that was going on in her life at the time.

He didn't want to admit that he was probably the cause of her unhappiness. Jen had always described him as childish and immature, but in reality, Tyler's character resembled that of a sociopath.
