The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1947

"Is that so?" Lucas scoffed, seemingly unconvinced. He pulled Melody into a hug and turned to leave.

Melody could not help but steal a glance back at Sherman as a helpless sigh escaped her lips.

Lucas released her only after he led her to a secluded spot.

Lost in thought, Melody bumped into a pillar and cried out, "Ouch!"

Lucas subconsciously reached out to help, but his expression sank and he stopped himself mid-way when the memory of Melody and Sherman's cheerful conversation appeared in his mind.

Melody clutched her head in pain.

"What's the matter?" Lucas sneered. "Did you get distracted by your classmate?"

"You don't have to be so snarky about it. We're just classmates." Melody's unhappiness grew when he made snide comments at her while she was in pain.

Lucas narrowed his eyes. The usually demure Melody shot back at him for Sherman's sake gave him a clearer idea of how deeply Sherman mattered to her. It was all the worse that she had those sorts of ambiguous feelings toward other men when she was already married!

Lucas felt like it was a sign of disrespect.

"You seem to have a knack of charming men wherever you go," he sneered.

"It was just a harmless conversation over our time at high school!" Melody countered exasperatedly.

Lucas snorted. "Know your place, Melody. Your actions reflect not only on yourself but on the Riveras too."

"Lucas!" Melody's anger boiled over.

He pulled her back into his arms and asked, "Why are you so reluctant to offer your body up as a means of paying me back?"

Melody glared at him and felt the urge to stop his uncouth remarks with a slap.

"Need me to repeat the question?" he mocked as he leaned in closer. His face was inches away from kissing hers.

He paused for a moment and so was mesmerized by her inviting lips that he was lost in a daze for a moment.

"Lucas." A gentle voice broke Lucas' trance and snapped him back to reality. He released Melody and then turned to face the source of the voice.
