I couldn't stand dealing with him.
But of course, he had no intention of leaving.
With a sigh, I slid off Lucas's lap. He ruffled my messy hair, his smile warm and reassuring.
"Good girl. I'll handle him."
Lucas opened the door, his lip still red and swollen.
The second the door cracked open, Jason barged in like a man possessed. His dark eyes raked over me before locking onto the red marks scattered across my neck.
"You dare touch her? Lucas, you dare touch her?!"
Jason's voice was raw with fury, his fists clenched tight as he swung wildly.
"She has amnesia, you bastard! This is taking advantage!"
My breath hitched.
Lucas tilted his head, effortlessly dodging the punch.
Wait—since when was he this quick?
His movements were sharp, precise. Every strike landed with brutal efficiency. Within seconds, he had Jason pinned, then unceremoniously tossed him out.
"Get lost. Don't come near her again."
The door slammed shut, leaving only the echo of Jason's rage behind.
When Lucas turned back to me, his expression softened instantly.
"Did I scare you?"
I was speechless.
No—more than that. Something wasn't adding up.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Lucas scratched his head, suddenly sheepish. "Yeah. You said you liked it, so… I trained in secret."
"Huh?"
His fingers tapped his abdomen.
Abs?
When did I—
Oh.
Ohhh.
In my past life, I'd spent days staring at his perfectly sculpted abs, whining about how unfair it was that I couldn't touch them. But—
How did he know that?
My eyes narrowed. Lucas met my suspicion with an amused smirk.
"I know 'PancakeLover' is your burner account."
My face burned.
Okay, yes, I'd used an anonymous account to thirst over certain… content. But was nothing sacred?
Fine. If my dignity was already in shambles, I might as well cash in.
I rubbed my hands together, practically vibrating with excitement as I stared at his abs.
"Can I touch them?"
His cheeks flushed crimson.
After a long pause, a barely audible whisper drifted down.
"…Yeah."
But of course, he had no intention of leaving.
