Torn Between Two Enemies

Chapter 3

Lucas’ room is still the same. But then again, the last time she was here was not that long ago. Last summer to be exact, when Logan invited her to his farewell dinner. She stayed the night, upon Logan’s request. Logan, she loves him so much, more than she loves her own brother. The thought of him always brings a smile to her face. Kate still remembers how Lucas held her tight when she was crying over her dead goldfish. Logan was there too; staying with them in Lucas’ bedroom, comforting her in silence.

At sixteen, Logan must have something more important to do, but he hung around. He had come to love Kate like his own little sister. When Kate was six, she told an eight-year-old Logan that one day he was going to be her big brother-in-law. Somehow, he believed her. Since then on, he’s been treating her as such. A family, his family.

Kate has no problem cleaning Logan’s room for him, but it may not be a good idea after all. An eighteen-year-old Logan might have things inside his room that a sixteen-year-old Kate shouldn’t see. Although now that Logan is in college, his room might be empty except for a couple of dirty clothes lying around here and there. Kate misses him, she makes a mental note to text him soon. In the meantime, Kate is busying herself making Lucas’ bed. They will have s*x in that very bed very soon. Like less than half an hour. Hopefully. Kate gets a little nervous. No, scratch that. She gets a hell lot of nervous. Her heart beats so fast she trembles a little.

“Dad’s room done,” says Lucas, out of nowhere.

Kate giggles. “You scared me,” she says before pouting.

Lucas chuckles. “Sorry,” he says. “But you know I was just down the hall, right? What were you thinking anyway?”

Kate doesn’t know how to answer to that question. Beside keeping on thinking that one day they’re gonna be married, Lucas and Kate have never been s****l towards each other. When she was fifteen, Kate dated two boys. She kissed, hugged, even made out a little with them but they never had s*x. She kept on telling everybody in school that she had no intention to have s*x until she was at least sixteen.

Well, she’s been sixteen for six months now. For the past three months she's let two boys chasing her before accepting one of them to be her boyfriend last month. Seth Adams. Seth has been courting her for a full month, and now he wants s*x. Which is, of course, right? It’s time to put out now. The boy has waited long enough. It’s not like she’s a virgin anyway.

But she is. Although not for long now. Oh, but how? Kate doesn’t know how to start seducing Lucas. Still, when there is a will, there is a way, right?

“Your room is done also,” Kate says.

“Cool,” Lucas says. “Wanna go down and make PB&J for lunch?”

Kate is about to nod but changes her mind. “Can you make them for us?” she asks instead. “I’ll wait for you here. Is that okay?”

Lucas raises an eyebrow, confused a little. They usually eat in the kitchen. “Okay,” he says. “I’ll be right back.”

Kate nods and smiles. Grateful for the extra time. She needs it to get herself together and to think of a game plan. She might need something. Something to talk about that brings them to the conversation leading them to the act of s*x itself. Like a magazine! Playboy magazine or something. She didn’t see those earlier when she was cleaning Lucas’ bedroom. But then again, in this day and age, do they still have those kinds of magazines when it’s much easier to look at them from a laptop?

Yeah, next.

Or, she could just take off her clothes.

Nah, scratch that, next.

When Lucas comes back, she still has no idea on what to do to seduce him. She just sits there looking frustrated. What she doesn’t realize is that, her and the scenery of herself on top of his bed stops Lucas dead in front of his bedroom door. She’s beautiful, and somehow Lucas is transported back to the first day when they met at the kindergarten. And just like that, he’s once again, enchanted.

“Lunch,” Lucas says as he walks closer to the bed with a plate of sandwiches. He’s about to sit on his study chair when he sees Kate pat a spot beside her, asking him to join her on the bed instead.

“Is it okay if we eat while sitting on your bed?” Kate asks with a soft voice. Then, with a sweet and rather seductive smile, she adds, “I’ll clean the crumbs later.”

Lucas can’t answer. Him losing his voice has got nothing to do with his objection towards dirty bedding, but more to do with Kate all of a sudden looking and sounding sexy. His heart pounds loud and fast now. Something down there becomes uncomfortably hard too.

When Lucas still doesn’t answer, Kate pouts. “Alright,” she says, giving up. “I won’t eat on the bed.”

“No,” Lucas answers fast after finding his voice again. “Stay there.” With that, he climbs on top of the bed himself.

Kate takes a sandwich and smiles. “Thanks,” she says.

Lucas nods but doesn’t do anything else. He just sits there staring at her. His own sandwiches forgotten.

Kate is confused at first, Lucas is confusing. Why is he all of a sudden tongue-tied? But then she realizes. Lucas is just like any other adolescence boys, having a girl on his bed will affect him. He’s not immune to Kate’s charm. She is, after all, a very beautiful girl. This is perfect! If she wants to make any move at all, she should do it now before either of them thinks too much and ruins her not-so-perfect plan.

“This is good,” Kate says.

Lucas tries to chuckle. “It’s just PB&J,” he says. “We eat it all the time.”

“No, it’s good,” Kate insists. “Try mine.” She leans closer to him then pushes her half-eaten sandwich on to his mouth despite the fact that Lucas has his own.

Lucas leans forward to eat the sandwich that Kate has offered, but as he’s about to bite it, Kate snatches it away. She then quickly replaces the sandwich with her own mouth, offering the sandwich that is inside her mouth. That is kind of gross, but Kate is kind of desperate.

Her act stuns Lucas, but only for a second. Kate climbs on top of him and wraps her arms around his shoulders while her mouth continues to assault his. That does it for him. He puts his hands on her waist and urges her to come closer. When she does, he kisses her with everything he has. Now, what he does, is kissing. What she does, is assaulting. Whatever. Same difference. But it’s time to take charge now. Lucas turns Kate around, make her lie on her back and him on top of her. The position makes it easier for them to kiss and explore.

It feels good, so good. But Kate needs more, time is not on her side now. His dad can come home before they even have s*x and that just won’t do. Foreplay is good, very good, but at the moment, it needs to be cut short. Kate knows she needs to make the move; Lucas has no agenda but she does. She has to be the one that keeps everything on tract, with that in mind, she pulls her T-shirt off her body.

Her action stops Lucas. This, this is confusing. What exactly is Kate doing? She has been ignoring Lucas at school, and all of a sudden, they’re making out? But isn’t she dating this Seth guy? They’re kind of hot and heavy. “Kate,” Lucas says, his voice raspy. “What are you doing?”

Kate laughs, trying hard to make it sound sexy. “What do you think I’m doing?” she asks. She then reaches for Lucas’ hand, puts it on top of her left breast, and helps him squeeze it.

The action makes something twitches down there, Lucas groans. “Princess,” he says. “Wait, you need to tell me what’s going on first. You’re dating Seth, right?”

“I just want to give you your birthday present, Luke,” Kate says with a smile.

“But today it’s not even my birthday,” Lucas points out. “You’re off by like a lot of months.”

Kate rolls her eyes. “Do you really believe I don’t know when your birthday is when I know both your dad’s and Logan’s?” she asks in exasperation. “Think of it as a compilation of presents that I failed to give you all this time.”

“What? Why?”

No more talking. Kate simply cannot afford it. She’s a woman, a girl, on a mission. So, she touches her bra. “Do you wanna unwrap your present or not?”

No more questions. What boys refuse the invitation to take off a girl’s bra? Stupid ones, that is, and Lucas is not stupid. So, he does, unhook the bra. In front of him, two apple-like breasts are on display. Lucas drools. Such a sight to behold that is.

The way he looks at her, with such adoration, makes Kate swallow hard. She runs her hand on his soft hair. “You can touch them if you like,” she says in a gentle voice, encouraging him.

Lucas looks at Kate deep into her eyes. “Princess,” he says. “I’m afraid if we do this we can’t stop.”

“Then don’t stop.”

“You wanna go all the way?”

Kate smiles and nods. “Yes.”

Lucas doesn’t say anything. There’s something that stops him from taking what she offers, something embarrassing. Kate is not a virgin. Last summer she lost her virginity to a European prince, that is why she seems so casual about s*x. She may have done it a lot with Seth as well. Wait, if that is so, then why is she here? This is really confusing.

Perhaps, Seth is not that good. Perhaps he’s not as good as that European prince and Kate now wants a different partner. Oh God, is Kate now a s*x addict? But he’s a virgin. He’s never been with anybody. That is why this is so embarrassing. She’s more experienced than him when he’s two months older than her. If Seth who is a year older with more experience can’t satisfy her, how can he?

“What is it, Luke?” Kate asks, all of a sudden, she’s getting anxious. “You don’t want it?”

“No, not that,” Lucas answers her fast. “I do. It’s just that…”

“Then what, Luke?”
