Lucas sighed deeply and checked his watch again. A frown spread on his face. He hated waiting and maybe his impatient nature was a hindrance in his career, considering his profession. As he took a sip of water from the bottle in his hand, he rested his head against the headrest of the rented and much too luxurious car he was seated in. How people could spend so much money on a car was both indecent and beyond his understanding of the world, but then he reminded himself that for tonight, he was supposed to act like that part of the world was his as well.
When Harry had suggested the undercover attendance at one of the most spectacular parties of the year, Lucas had just laughed. It sounded like something coming from a movie but when he was briefed about the details, especially the guest list, he realized this could be a great chance to have a closer look at one of the more interesting, both financially and character-wise, members in a loosely connected group of businessmen all claiming they had no interests in arms dealing but all secretly supported one of the largests trader in the country, one who never mixed business with emotions, never asked for the purpose behind the devastating weapons he sold to the highest bidder. The only shadow resting over this operation was that Lucas could not pick his own partner. Harry had been very persistent about who it had to be, despite Lucas’ attempts to dodge the issue and go alone. Apparently, he needed a date, someone who would gracefully follow him, glued to his arm, speak little but smile a lot and as the night would go on, discreetly excuse herself and then secretly report every detail back to Harry. She was the reason he was now dressed in a tuxedo and seated outside a small townhouse. Its walls were painted white a low iron fence surrounded the building. And he was waiting… for her.
Nooooo how could you end it there!?? You cruel woman!
This was such a great surprise! I love how you described the tension between them, then when they finally gave in to their feelings? So beautiful and hot!
Thank you. First time writing Lucas. I’m very happy you liked it! ❤️
Hi all. How is everyone? Hope you are all well. If watching British Detectives is part of your coping strategy, the Guardian is hosting a Spooks/MI-5 re watch.
