Chapter 1
"Why are you here?" Sami said in disbelief.
"I could ask you the same thing," Lucas threw back.
"Uh, no you couldn't," Sami rolled her eyes. "I am supposed to be here, you on the other hand, are supposed to home with Will. Please tell me you didn't leave Will with your whore of a mother."
"No, he's with Jennifer, and I'm allowed to take a vacation too, you know," Lucas retorted.
"Here's your room keys," the desk clerk stepped in.
Both Sami and Lucas grabbed their keys and rushed to be the first to the room, leaving their entire luggage in the lobby.
"We'll bring that up!" the desk clerk called behind them as he watched Sami tackle Lucas to the ground and take off towards the elevators. Lucas reached out and grabbed her ankle, causing her to do a major face- plant into the carpet. "Yeah, real mature," the desk clerk sighed, shaking his head in amusement.
By the time they reached the room, Sami and Lucas were out of breath.
Sami looked at Lucas, whose ragged breathing matched her own. "Okay, here's the deal. I'll let you in long enough to get a drink of water, but then you're leaving."
Lucas held up his key in reminder and let them into the room. Sami collapsed on the king-size bed in exhaustion.
"That was too much work for vacation," she declared.
"I'll say." Sami felt the bed sink as Lucas stretched out next to her.
"You're not leaving are you?" Sami asked with a sinking feeling in her stomach.
"What do you think?" Lucas replied.
"Well this is perfect," Sami grouched. "How could this have happened?"
"I don't know, the only person who knew about my plans was..." the name died on Lucas' lips.
"Will," Sami finished. "That little sneak."
"Will, your mother is on the phone," Jennifer walked up into the guestroom.
"Could you tell them I'm...busy?" Will asked hopefully.
"Why?" Jennifer raised an eyebrow, and looked at him curiously in realization. "Them?"
Will tossed her a pleading look and Jennifer caved.
"Sami? He and Abby went out to dinner with Alice, can he call you back? Great. Bye," Jennifer hung up the phone and glanced suspiciously at Will. "Well?"
Will frowned for a minute, deciding whether or not his aunt was worthy enough to hear about his scheme. When an ironically familiar gleam appeared in his eye, Jenn knew she would be enlightened.
"Let's just say I played around with my parents' reservations," Will smirked.
"With their hotel reservations?" Jenn asked, amused.
"No, their reservations," Will clarified.
Jenn's face broke out into a grin.
"Let's just say they'll be seeing a lot more of each other then they expected," Will laughed in glee.
Jennifer could do nothing but join in. Like parents like son: Sami and Lucas will definitely get what they deserve.
"I fixed the couch for you," Sami smiled sweetly at Lucas, who, much to Sami's chagrin, was fully clothed.
Lucas caught her disappointed glance and broke out into a grin. "Would you like me to take my shirt off? Would that make you feel better?"
Sami flushed and huffed, "I'd rather you put a coat on or something."
Lucas rolled his eyes and began to approach the bed. Sami leapt in front of him.
"What do you think you're doing?" she asked gruffly.
"Going to bed," Lucas pushed her aside. "I'm not sleeping on that couch."
Sami silently debated whether or not make an issue out of the sleeping arrangements. Lucas' jaw dropped to the floor when she shrugged and climbed in next to him. Lucas flicked the light off and all was still.
A few minutes later, Sami was berating herself for not making Lucas sleep on the couch. His body heat radiated outward and his scent wafted near her nose. She wanted him. She wanted to rip off that stupid shirt and feel his skin against hers instead of the cloth.
"This is going to be a long night," Sami thought ruefully.
Lucas smirked as Sami shifted restlessly behind him. "Wearing a shirt was such a good idea," he told himself proudly. "It aggravates her more than when I'm shirtless."
Sami shifted uncomfortably behind him again, rubbing against his back, and Lucas' body reacted immediately. Lucas mentally groaned. "Of course the only downside to sleeping in the same bed as Sami is that I don't sleep," Lucas thought. As Sami tossed and turned restlessly, Sami's golden locks slide smoothly across Lucas' face, surrounding him in Sami's heavenly scent. Lucas moaned softly at the sweet torture.
"Yes, this is going to be a long night."
"Why are you here?" Sami said in disbelief.
"I could ask you the same thing," Lucas threw back.
"Uh, no you couldn't," Sami rolled her eyes. "I am supposed to be here, you on the other hand, are supposed to home with Will. Please tell me you didn't leave Will with your whore of a mother."
