"Lucas, I've noticed your mood lately. Are you sure everything is okay?"
After dropping Ramsey off, Ava noticed how Lucas kept zoning out at the dinner table.
He shook his head in response, "no. I'm fine. Finish your meal."
Ava took his response but still remained suspicious until they returned to their room. When he noticed her watching him closely, he grabbed her hand and pushed her body to his own.
"Hands off!" Ava warned, but Lucas paid a deaf ear to her.
He hoisted her up, taking her to the bed. He then laid her down and pulled off his pants, pulling Ava's clothes. When he saw she was not giving in, he grabbed her face and looked into her eyes.
"Please, I need you right now. Please don't deny me," he begged.
Although Ava knew he was hiding something, she decided to give in to her mate; she knew he would tell her when he felt best, so she chose not to argue any further.
