Chapter Fifteen

Sami opened her eyes and sat up in her bed, sensing there was someone else in her room. She let out a startled cry when she noticed Bart sitting at the foot of her bed. She recovered from the shock and abruptly pulled her blankets over herself, throwing a murderous glare at Bart.

"Who let you in? You don't just walk into someone's bedroom in the middle of the night!" Sami fumed.

Bart had an amused expression on his face, "There's no reason to get your panties in a bunch, Miss Brady. I only came because I thought you needed help from the Advice Guy."

"Well, I don't." Sami snapped, "You advice didn't even work the last time."

Bart looked offended, "Of course it worked! You just didn't listen to the coin like you were supposed to."

"Excuse me?"

"You were supposed to forget about the money and tell Lucas you're in love with him." Bart explained patiently, "But instead, you gave up because Brady wouldn't let you call off the bet."

Wondering how Bart knew all this, Sami shook her head, "You don't understand. If I lose the bet, I have to marry Brady. I can't let that happen because then I will lose Lucas."

"Sami, Sami, Sami." Bart sighed, "You can't let this bet stop you from being with Lucas. You're going to drive him away if you keep confusing him. You know, if you were careful about things, there is a way you could keep the money and still be with Lucas."

"How?"

"You're a smart girl, Sami. You can figure it out." Bart extended his hand and handed something to Sami, "In the meantime, flip the coin. Heads you seduce Lucas and tails you don't."

Sami flipped the coin, which landed on heads. Bart smiled encouragingly, "Trying flipping it again." Sami flipped it several more times and each time, the coin landed on heads. Sami examined the coin closer, then looked up at Bart in confusion.

"Both sides of this coin are heads."

Bart laughed, "That's how I know the coin is right."

Sami woke up from the dream with a start, looking around for signs of anyone in her room. To her immense relief, Bart was nowhere to be seen. She remembered the dream and rolled over in her bed, thinking about it. As her eyes grew adjusted to the darkness, she thought about Lucas lying in the next room. On that mattress, in his boxers. And Bart was right. If Brady didn't know anything was going on, then she could still win the bet. And he certainly wasn't going to catch Lucas and Sami doing anything at- Sami squinted to make out the time on the clock- four in the morning.

She flung her blankets off and pulled herself out of the bed, "Besides, I can't disobey the coin. The coin never lies." she mocked Bart under her breath. She stepped out into the living room and flicked on a small lamp next to the couch. Lucas was lying on his stomach and his blankets had fallen down below his waist. One arm was stuffed underneath his pillow while the other hung off the side of the mattress. Sami smiled at the position he was sleeping in, a position that would give her easy access to his most lethal erogenous zone.

Before going over to him, Sami made her way into the kitchen. She found what she was looking for in the cupboard and went back over to Lucas. She sat down next to Lucas on the mattress and set the bottle down beside the mattress, where Lucas wouldn't be able to see it. Her heart was pounding with anticipation as she slowly traced a line up Lucas' back with her fingertips. She had wanted to do this for the longest time.

Sami placed a kiss on the flawless, tanned skin just above the line of his boxers. Her lips inched their way up his back and Lucas reacted to her touch a lot faster than she had expected him to. He stirred in his sleep and let out a little moan. This is did nothing to detour Sami, instead she brought her tongue into play, licking a deliberately slow and sensuous trail up Lucas' back.

Lucas groaned and turned his head to one side to see Sami leaning over him. His mind took a little bit longer to wake up then his body did. He lifted his head and looked at her in confusion.

"Am I dreaming?" he asked, his voice still groggy from sleep.

Sami only smiled in return, then continued kissing his back. He shuddered as her tongue continued sweeping along his skin. God, as good as his fantasies had been, they were never this intense or this vivid. This was real, Sami was actually there.

"Dammit, you know my erogenous zone, don't you?" Lucas demanded, "How did you find out?"

"Nicole told me." Sami answered, "After she almost told us where it was in the bathroom that one night, I was too curious to stop myself from asking her."

"That's an unfair advantage." Lucas rolled over so he was facing Sami, "You know my erogenous zone and I don't know yours."

The look Sami gave him was both flirtatious and seductive, "I guess you're just going to have to find it then."

Before Lucas could find the right words to respond to that sentence with, Sami was kissing him. She slanted their mouths together and pulled him into a searing kiss. Memories of what had went on earlier with the diary entry were forgotten as Sami let Lucas coax her lips apart with his tongue and devoured her. Sami threaded her hands through his hair, pressing her body against Lucas' chest, her fingers tracing a path up and down his back. The material of Sami's nightgown was so thin, it felt almost like a skin-on-skin contact to Lucas.

Sami pulled her mouth away from his a lot sooner than Lucas would have liked. She then began kissing the rest of his face, not leaving a single inch of his face unattended. Between this and her actions in the limo, Lucas didn't know what had gotten into the usually more reserved Sami but he liked it. He liked it a lot.

But that was the problem. She had been so much more reserved the past month. And earlier that same night, she had refused to talk to him about her feelings.

"Sami, we can't." Lucas stopped her, "You keep going from hot to cold and I don't know how much more I can take. You have to make a choice before we go any further."

"I know." Sami took a deep breath, "I've been awful to you for the past little while. I've been confusing you and I've even been confusing myself. But I know what I want now."

"Which is?" Lucas held his breath, hoping to get the answer the wanted to hear.

"You." Sami finished, one gentle persuasive hand smoothing over the contours on his chest, "I want to make up for the last month to you, Lucas. But you have to close your eyes."

Sami exhaled with satisfaction when he did as she asked. She retrieved her bottle from the floor and made sure Lucas still had his eyes closed. Then she began drizzling the sweet, sticky substance all over Lucas' bare chest. Once she had finished, she set the bottle back down and lowered her head. Her tongue darted out, licking the first bit of honey off of his chest. Her tongue continued making slow, languorous strokes along his taut stomach muscles and she smiled to herself as she felt his breathing speed up.

Sami finished with his stomach and moved up his torso, laving away the honey from his chest. She tongued one nipple playfully and the groan she withdrew from Lucas after the contact provoked her to do it again with his other nipple, surrendering to all of her lascivious desires. She lapped away the final traces of honey from his chest, the syrupy sweetness of the substance mingling with the faint saltiness of Lucas' skin to create an exquisite, addictive combination.

"You can open your eyes now." Sami whispered, leaning down and planting a soft kiss on his lips. When her mouth lingered on his, Lucas deepened the kiss. His tongue ran along the outline of her mouth before he plunged inside her, savouring the taste of honey that remained in her mouth. Imprisoning her in his arms, he continued kissing her forcefully. She snaked her arms around his neck, their bodies flush against each other. Breathing hard, Lucas pulled away.

"I think it's my turn to do that to you now." Sami shivered at the hot, resonant tone of his voice. Still cradling Sami's body in his arms, Lucas pressed her down against his pillows. Eager fingers pushed the straps of Sami's nightgown off her shoulders and eased the silk nightgown down her body. With a final, impatient tug, the nightgown was gone and nothing stood between Lucas and the object of his desire.

Lucas was silent for a moment, mesmerized by the creamy skin of Sami's voluptuous body, "Do you have any idea how tasty you look?" Lucas asked after a moment, "I could just eat you right now."

"Go ahead." Sami's eyes danced with excitement, "Eat me."

Lucas chuckled at the bold remark and found the bottle of honey. Giving her the same instructions she had given him, he waited until her eyes were closed. Honey oozed out of the tip of the bottle, covering Sami's skin. Lucas couldn't resist licking his lips after he had finished, imagining how good that soft, supple skin would feel against his mouth. Not wanting to wait a second longer, he began licking the honey off of her. He began at her lower stomach, taking his time with leisurely sweeps with his tongue and light, teasing brushes with his lips.

"Oh, God, Lucas." the sensual torment was almost unbearable and she fisted the sheets in her hands when his tongue dipped inside her navel. He moved away from her stomach and his tongue ran along the outer curve of her right breast, moving closer to the hard peak of her nipple at a torturously slow pace. He finally washed away the honey from the swollen bud, then took her between his teeth, sucking lightly. Sami arched upwards, pushing more of herself into his mouth.

His mouth made it's way down the valley between her breasts, then came back up to begin laving the honey off of her left breast. The ache between the thighs only intensified as Lucas fastened his mouth to her left nipple and licked it clean. She wanted him to touch her there so badly and she knew he could sense it. He reached for the bottle of honey again and his hands moved deftly between her legs, briefly caressing her before parting her sensitive folds and letting the honey drip down into her center. Sami couldn't resist crying out when the cool liquid hit her heated flesh, then remembered who was next door and her cries receded into whimpers.

He drew his mouth down to her core, his tongue cleaning her sheath free of honey. He angled his tongue so he could lap up every bit of the sweetness, tasting her. Waves of pleasure washed over her as his tongue swirled around her clit, causing her breaths to come out in rapid pants. She finally felt the highest point of pleasure overtake her as she came. Her body went limp and it took her a few minutes to catch her breath. Finally, she stood up, looking at Lucas expectantly.

"Do you want to come?" she asked him.

Lucas grinned at her, "Now that's a tempting offer."

Sami rolled her eyes but couldn't resist giggling, "I meant, do you want to come in the shower with me?"

"We could have done it out here but if you'd rather do it in there, that's fine too."

"You're impossible. It's just that, we're a little sticky right now." Sami explained, tilting her head and eyeing him impatiently, "Are you going to c- join me or not?"

Lucas stood up and followed Sami into the bathroom, leaving the almost empty bottle of honey lying next to the mattress.
