To Keep Her Safe
"Miss the library is closed."
I look up from the book and nod to him, closing it and giving it to the library worker and putting my laptop in my backpack. I leave the library and there's a security guard waiting at the door. There's been some recent rapes and muggings near the campus so they hired extra security.
"You're the last one out you'd better let me escort you to your car," the security guard tells me.
"Sure thanks," I nod looking over and catch site of his name badge. "I used to know a Valieri back in Toronto where I grew up. Well I didn't know him to well but I knew his sister Jane a l…" I'm saying when the security guard stops walking and looks at me closely.
"You went to DeGrassi?"
"Yeah hi Lucas, fancy seeing you here," I grin.
"I don't remember you although you do seem very vaguely familiar," he responds squinting his eyes at me like that's going to help him remember.
"I'm Clare, Darcy Edwards little sister. She dated Spinner before Jane did," I remind Lucas as we begin walking again.
"Right I sort of remember seeing you around DeGrassi now. You had glasses right?"
"Yeah."
"You look much better now."
"Thanks. So do you see Izzy much?"
"Yeah they live in New York now that's why I moved here. I take her every other weekend."
"Cool tell Mia I said hi when you see her next," I reply.
We're silent until we reach my car and Lucas tells me to drive safe. Adam is home when I get there and I tell him about seeing Lucas but of course Adam never knew Jane or Lucas so it doesn't make much difference to him. For the next couple of weeks I see Lucas any time I'm at the library and the more I see him the more we talk. An attraction begins to develop but he's so much older than me and I'm certain he doesn't feel that way about me and he's just being nice.
Then I begin to see Lucas on campus everywhere I have classes. It looks like he's guarding the building but he always happens to be on break when I'm out of class. By early December even Adam is sure that Lucas is into me from what I've told him. Despite what Adam says Lucas never makes a move, we have friendly conversations and he's almost always around to walk me from place to place.
"So are you going home for Christmas?" Lucas questions walking me from the library the last night before winter break.
"Yeah but I'll be spending it with Adam's family my parents won't be in town and I haven't seen my dad in a couple of years."
"That's cool I'm going to Mia's to have Christmas with them," he smiles.
"Oh my gosh look at the snow I can't drive home in this," I remark when I see the blizzard outside. When I check my phone I find some urgent messages from Adam about the blizzard.
"I know where we can go to wait out the storm," Lucas tells me.
"Thanks let me call Adam and tell him I'm okay and I won't try to drive home in this," I reply.
Signal is terrible but I manage to get through and tell him that I'm not driving in the storm. Lucas takes my hand and leads me back toward the library but we divert before we get there ending up in a security room.
"I think we're the last two on campus, aside from a few security guards and maybe that librarian," Lucas remarks as we sit in the chairs for the security monitors.
"I wonder where the librarian is," I comment.
"Probably waiting it out in the library, if you're hungry we can get some food from the vending machines."
"No I'm okay. I wonder how long this storm is going to last we could be trapped in here for hours."
"Doesn't look like it's going to let up any time soon and the phones are out now," Lucas says getting out his cell phone. A few seconds later the light goes out.
"And now we've lost power, it's going to get very cold if there's no heat."
"Hang on there's some emergency blankets, stay here I'll be right back," he says and leaves the room. He returns a few moments later holding a handful of blankets and sets them down. "I found these too," Lucas tells me setting down some candles and taking out a lighter. They're little tea light candles and he sets them around the room to light it a little.
"Thanks, I know I said I wasn't hungry but we should probably get some water and snacks in case we're here all night," I remark.
"I'll get them," Lucas says leaving the room again.
He returns after a few moments with four bottles of water and a variety of snacks which he sets down. We talk a little and munch on snacks while sitting in the dark and watching the tea lights slowly burn out. When it starts to get cold I pull a blanket around me and he does the same. I watch as the first candle fizzles out and then Lucas cups my chin and pulls me to him taking my lips. He breaks the kiss spreading out the blanket he had around him. Lucas smiles at me and pulls my jacket off then pulls my shirt over my head before taking off my bra. I shiver in the cold air but he quickly gets his shirt off and presses our skin together. The combination of our body heat instantly warms me. He takes me by the waist and turns me so that I'm lying on the blanket, he puts the other blanket over me while he gets completely undressed and then he puts the blanket on him and rapidly gets me undressed the rest of the way.
Laying the blanket over both of us now he goes down between my legs. His hands grip my breasts at the same second that his tongue probes into me. I moan and tremble gripping the blanket underneath me. My body shakes and trembles, my legs open wider as I succumb to the pleasure. He drinks my juices almost eagerly and I am soon dripping and begging him for more. Lucas removes his tongue and goes on his knees, stroking himself a couple of times before he penetrates me. His stiff erection glides into me and I welcome him in, moaning in ecstatic ecstasy and moan his name loudly. Lucas makes a carnal grunt and my name drops from his lips.
My entire body is filled with heat and electricity, pleasure and bliss. I grip onto Lucas, my legs around his waist opening me up more and allowing him in deeper. My hips buck and my body trembles, every nerve in my body is awake and thrilled by titillating rapture. I feel the growing tickle and drive to climax but I'm not ready to end just yet. Lucas kisses my neck and breasts, I caress his chest and we make love slowly. Our bodies generating heat, we're so wrapped in the rapture and euphoria that we don't even notice when the last of the candles has burned out and we're making love in total darkness. But eventually our bodies can no longer take it and we must climax. Our bodies convulsing like crazy, we take heaving breaths, moaning loud and crying out the other's name.
Lucas takes a couple more slow thrusts before pulling out; he lies next to me and pulls me into his arms. I lie on his chest; he pulls the blanket over us and kisses my forehead as I begin absentmindedly drawing on his chest and writing his name with my finger.
"So," he says taking my hand from his chest and kissing the back of it, "you want to go to dinner when you return from Christmas break?"
"Dinner sounds great."
