~*~
Luke walked up the rickety steps of the familiar porch, his chest rising and falling as he took deep breaths. It had been two yearsâtwo years with no contact, no phone calls, not even a text. The house still looked the same: white stucco and a plain white garage, the cobbled path leading to the door, the cross nailed to the space right underneath the doorbell. Luke gulped, removing his hand from the tight grip it had on the handle of his suitcase. He rang the doorbell and waited anxiously, his hands clasped behind his back.
For a moment, a fleeting thought crossed his mind: maybe no one was home. A part of him would be disappointed, but a larger part would be relieved. Perhaps he wouldnât need to face them, endure the awkward silence and the unfilled gaps, the judgemental, hurt eyes and the tension saturating the air. He could leave. He could escape.
But then the door was swinging open, and he knew that he was fucked.
His motherâs eyes narrowed when she cast her gaze upon him, as though she didnât recognize him. Luke couldnât blame herâhe had changed a lot since heâd left for Oxford. His slacks had been replaced with black, ripped skinny jeans, his loafers by suede boots. His hairâwhich had been lighter and styled up into a quiff during his teenage years, now swept down across his forehead, the shade having dulled to a sandy blonde. He was no longer clean-shavenâstubble lined his jawline, andâalmost reflexivelyâhis hand came up to scratch his chin.
âHi, Mum,â Luke forced out, his voice hoarse.Â
His motherâs eyes connected with hisâher irises were the exact same shade of peculiar blue, and he felt like he was being examined, studied, overturned from the inside and exposed.
âLuke?â his mother stepped back, her hand flying to her mouth. Her eyes raked down his body, taking in his appearance. Luke shot her a half-smile, expecting the gesture to be returned, but instead he was met with her horrified expression.
âWhat happened to you?â she demanded, âWhat are you wearing? How long has it been since youâve last shaved?â
Luke blinked. He glanced down at his outfit and then at his suitcase before looking back up at his motherâthe woman who was supposed to love him unconditionally and support him. Yet here she stood, staring at him like he was an utter stranger and critiquing him, just as she had always done.
She hadnât changed. Their encounter had been so brief, but Luke could already tell. His hopes of returning home for the holidays and being greeted normally flickered and went out, quelled by a despairingly strong gust of reality. He knewâjust by looking at the betrayed expression on his motherâs faceâthat he wouldnât be welcome here. She hadnât changed.
And she never would.
âI-Iâm sorry,â Luke stammered, reaching back blindly for the handle of his suitcase, fumbling. âI have toââ
He didnât finish his sentence, rushing back down the porch steps with his belongings in tow. The wheels of his luggage clattered noisily along the cobbled path as he sped into the street, hurrying away from his childhood home. He squeezed his eyes shut, chuckling bitterly to himself. How could he have been so stupid? Heâd thought that things could go back to how they once were, and he had been so wrong.
She hadnât tried to stop him.
His mother had let him go.
~*~
He was not going to do this.
There was no way in hell that he was going to do this.
He opened the door, and a faint jingling sound reached his ears.
Holy shit, he was going to do this.
Luke entered the tattoo parlour, dragging his luggage in behind him. His wallet had been shoved back into his pocket, considerably lighter now that he had paid a hefty amount to the taxi driver. The man behind the wheel had warned him that travelling to the next town over wouldnât be cheap.
The place was brightly lit, with a large waiting room. Several people lounged aroundâthe majority were large men who looked as if they could squash Luke with their thumbs. There was a younger couple sitting in a corner, giggling madly and trading cheek kisses every so oftenâLuke assumed that they were there to get matching designs. A woman with a shaved head and a septum piercing lifted her head at the bells that had tinkled when Luke entered. She glanced at him once before going back to scrolling through an app on her phone.
Luke tentatively sat down in one of the chairs, gulping as he rubbed his hands together. He rolled his suitcase so that it was situated between his spread knees, and looked around again, his head cocking to the side when he noticed something.
One of the menâthe buffest one who wore sunglasses and who looked like he could be the leader of a fucking motorcycle gangâsat across from him, smiling down at a young child who rested on his lap. The baby looked to be no more than two years oldâperhaps only a year and a halfâand wore a frilly blue frock, with white tights and blue shoes to match. Their wispy blonde hair was secured with a white, sparkly pin, and Luke assumed that the child was a girl. Scary Biker Dudeâthatâs what Luke would call himâlifted his hands to his eyes, pausing briefly before removing them suddenly. Luke heard a faint âpeek-a-boo!â
The child laughed and clapped, a high-pitched squeal leaving her lips. Luke smiled slightly, looking down at his lap to hide his face. The interaction continued for the next few minutes, the child giggling happily and bouncing up and down, and Scary Biker Dude chuckling gruffly in return.
And then there was a voiceâa voice that Luke hadnât heard since heâd kissed you at the airport. An action that heâd performed despite the decision you had both made weeks before: to end what youâd both had so that you could avoid the heartbreak that would come with his departure.
Pain flashed through Lukeâs chest as he remembered your solemn expression when he had presented you with the extra plane ticket, the sad shake of your head, your watery eyes once heâd turned away from you a month later and the flight attendant had confirmed his ticket. He remembered those first few nights away from you, how lonely he had felt, how his hand couldnât bring him the same pleasure, how it hurt for him to breathe because fuck, he couldnât smell the fruity scent of your perfume. Not anymore.
âClay, donât get her too excited, or sheâll throw up!â
Lukeâs head snapped up, and he was sure that he stopped breathing.
There you were. Right in front of his fucking eyes.
Luke wasnât sure where to look first. If anything, the few years apart had made you even more beautiful. Your hair was tossed up into a haphazard bun, and you wore a black button-up, your breasts stretching the fabric slightly. Pale blue jeans adorned your legs, the colour cut off abruptly by those same clunky combat bootsâa reassuring jolt of pleasure ran through Luke when he saw the familiar shoes.
âSorry, Y/N,â Scary Biker DudeâClayâsaid, though beneath his graying beard, Luke could make out the fragments of a smile.
You just walked over to the biker with your arms held out. Clay reluctantly picked up the child sitting in his lap and passed her over to you. Luke watched in confusion as you placed the girl on your hip, pressing a kiss to her forehead. âYou like playing with Clay, Jo?â
The toddler giggled.
Luke stood abruptly. Before his mind could catch up with his body, he was crossing over to where you stood. He stopped a few feet away, but you didnât look up at him, seemingly too distracted by the child in your arms.
âIs she yours?â Luke asked.
Still staring lovingly at the baby, you nodded.
Lukeâs stomach plummeted while his heart somersaultedâhe didnât know what to feel, anticipation and dread and shock and anger rolling like waves throughout his body.
âHow old is she?â he said, desperately trying to keep his voice level. A suspicion was building in the back of his mind, quickly gaining momentum with each passing second. Lukeâs mouth was dry, as was his throat, and he tried swallowing but found that he couldnâtâhe was choking on air, on the remnants of what used to be, on the possibilities that could have come true.
âSixteen months,â you said. Luke calculated in his head, and a loud gasp left his throat. He looked down at the little girl, only to be met with the brightest shade of cobaltâa peculiar blue.
His peculiar blue.
Finally, you looked up at him, having heard his sharp intake of breath. You cocked your head to the side. âIs everything okay?â
And no, everything was not okay, because you didnât seem to recognize himâat least, not at a first glance. Luke took a step back immediately, inexplicably overwhelmed. His hands came up to rake through his sandy hair, causing some tendrils to stick upâlike the old Luke, the straight-laced pastorâs son, the Luke who had loved you, wanted to take you with him, wanted to break down your walls and know you fully.
And goddammit, that part of him was the one thing that hadnât changed.
~*~
Luke sat at your kitchen table, his hands folded and his head bowed. The apartment was silent apart from the faint shuffling that could be heard from down the hall, the sound of you trying to put yourâhisâdaughter to bed. Luke dragged his hands down his face, attempting to compose himself. His suitcase was leaning up against the wall near the front door.
He could leave right now if he wanted to. He could stand, slip on his boots, and get the hell out. And God, a part of him wanted to do just that.
But he also needed answers. He needed to talk to you, to question youâdammit, he needed to look at you. It was an innate urgency; he had to study your face, your soft lips, your deep eyes, the caring soul within that was trapped and bound by years of shattered trust. He hadnât see you in two yearsâand it was as though within those two years, you had started over, made a life for yourself, let go of anything that was holding you back, erased your past completely.
Luke didnât want to be erased.
His head whipped to the side once he heard footsteps approaching. He watched with tense shoulders as your silhouette entered the small kitchen.
You leaned against the wall, a small, nostalgic smile playing on your lips.
âHey, pretty boy.â
Fuck.
Luke swallowed. Sighing gently, he ran a hand through his hair and turned towards you. âHey.â
There was silence. Luke could hear you breathing heavily, the steady sound mixed in with the erratic thumping of his heart. It was so loud that he was afraid you would be able to see his chest pulsing. You could always read himâeven before heâd left, you seemed to know his desires, his worries. Youâd helped him conquer his fears and realize that his dreams could become realities, and for that, he was eternally in your debt.
âDo you want something to drink?â you asked, your voice tight.
âWater is fine.â
You nodded, and for a moment, Luke saw through a crack in your composure. You were just as nervous, just as afraid. There was a storm brewing behind your guarded eyes, the dim lighting in the kitchen reflecting off of your pupils. Luke was hit with the strongest urge to hold you, to kiss away your worries and make you happy.
Making you happyâthat was all heâd ever wanted.
âHere you go,â you snapped him out of his trance. Lukeâs hand shot out to catch the glass of water that you had slid across the table. He hunched his shoulders as he cradled the cup with both hands, trying to make himself seem as small as possible.
âYou still do that.â
He looked up. âWhat?â
You smiled wistfully. âThat. You alwaysâŚcurl up into yourself. âS cute.â
Luke didnât reply.
You looked around the kitchen as you walked over, pulling out a chair and sitting next to him. Luke regretted sitting at the head of the table; it suddenly felt like he had picked the perfect spot where you could watch him, study him, scrutinize him. He looked down at the clear liquid in his cup, willing himself to keep his gaze trained downwards, but once you let out a defeated sigh, he couldnât resist a small peek.
âHowâs Oxford?â you asked, but the question was hollow, as though you werenât expecting him to respond.
Luke cleared his throat. âItâs good,â he grunted.
A small smile found its way to your lips and you ducked your head, trying to hide it. Luke couldnât help but to smirk as wellâyour happiness was fucking infectious.
âI bet itâs a lot of work,â you continued, looking hopeful. Luke nodded, finally taking the first sip of his water. The liquid slid down his throat easily, cooling his entire body. It was like that was all he needed, because he set the glass down, looking at you squarely.
âI donât want to talk about me. I want to talk about you.â
A beat of silence passed. You looked away, squeezing your eyes shut for a moment before your irises were trained back on Luke.
âIâ,â you hesitated, body tight from the sudden onslaught of communication, ââwhat do you want to know?â
Luke seized the opportunity, not knowing when he would ever receive another chance like that. You were blatantly allowing him to ask whatever he wanted, and it seemed like your answers would be sincere. His lips were moving before his brain had a chance to filter through the questions, and words poured from his mouth.
âHow did you get into the piercing business? When did you get this apartment? Are you stableâlike, financially? Do you need me to lend you some money? Because I have plenty, donât worry. Why did you move out here? Why didnât you tell me that you were pregnant?â
âLuke!â you stopped him, your voice rising slightly. He clamped his mouth shut, his chest heaving. You sighed, pursing your lips.
âOkay,â you whispered to yourself, âOkay.â
Luke waited, gazing at you expectantly.
You looked up at him, inhaling sharply before beginning, âI figured that my chances of getting a job were shot back in the suburbs. I moved out hereânobody knew me or my reputation, so I figured that I could start over. Thatâs when I met Ashtonâheâs the guy that owns the parlourâand fuck, even though I was five months pregnant, he gave me a job.â
âHow old is he?â Luke demanded, âAshton, I mean.â
You smiled, âHeâs twenty-two.â
Lukeâs mouth went dry. He looked away, trying to swallow. âOh,â he mumbled, âAnd did youâdid you guys everâ?â
âNo,â you smirked, shaking your head, âWe didnât.â
Luke breathed a sigh of relief, and you continued, looking uneasy, âI wasâI was still too hung up on you.â
Lukeâs head snapped up at that, his eyes wide. You looked away, suddenly seeming to find the walls of your kitchen extremely intriguing. Luke studied your side profile, his fingers twitching around his cup. God, all he wanted to do was take your hand. A single touch, the brush of palmsâit was like that would be enough to mend everything that had happened between the two of you. Luke studied the bridge of your nose, the delicious curve of your lips. His eyelids fluttered shut as he remembered how he used to kiss youâhow you kissed him back.
âAshton let me stay at his place until I made enough to move out,â you continued, your gaze still fixated on the wall. Luke felt an ugly knot form in the pit of his stomach, and he grinded his teeth together at the thought of you living with another man.
âSo, I bought this apartment,â you said, âItâs nothing special, but itâs got two bedrooms, and thatâs more than enough. Believe it or not, piercing bodies actually pays a decent amount.â
âDo you needâ?â Luke began, but your head suddenly turned, and you shot him a glare.
âIf you offer me even a penny, Luke Hemmings, I will kick you out.â
Luke held up his hands in surrender. âOkay, okay, sorry.â
You blew a wisp of hair away from your face. âItâs fine. Itâs justâIâve managed this far on my own. I donât need you swooping in to save me or anything like that.â
âI didnât meanâ,â Luke tried, but he broke off once you chuckled.
âItâs fine, pretty boy. Jo and IâŚweâre okay.â
Jo. Luke had nearly forgotten about the toddler that was asleep just down the hall. His mind flashed back to earlier that dayâthe girlâs wispy blonde hair, her charming and captivating giggles, her striking blue eyes. She resembled Luke so closelyâit made him feel a bit nauseous.
âWhatâs her full name?â Luke blurted. He couldnât help it.
âJosephine,â you smiled softly, your eyes growing distant.
Luke gnawed on his bottom lip. There was so much happening, and he was beginning to feel overwhelmed and slightly hysterical. He had so many questions, but he knew that he wouldnât have enough time to ask all of themâand that terrified him.
âWhy didnât you tell me?â he said quietly, looking down at the water in his glass. He was suddenly overcome with aggravation and frustration, his head feeling like it would explode. âWhy didnât you tell me that we were going to have a fucking baby?â
He looked up at you, feeling betrayed. The shock had come and passed, and now he was angryâhe was so goddamn angry.
âIâm sorry,â you whispered, but Luke just shook his head, growing more and more irritated.
âSorry isnât good enough. I want to know why. Why didnât you tell me thatâthat I was going to be a dad?â
He knew that he couldnât start screaming, but that didnât stop him from raising his voice a fair amount. He ran his fingers through his hair anxiously, pushing back against the tableâhis chair made a loud screeching noise against the floor, but he paid it no mind, standing and turning away from you. Luke heard the soft sigh you let out, and he clenched his jaw, rubbing his hands over his face to regain his composure.
Several long, silent moments passed, the tension in the kitchen unbearably thick. Lukeâs shoulders oscillated dramatically with each breath. He squeezed his eyes shut and clutched at the hem of his shirt, wishing that it would help ease some of the strain that resided in his body.
And then there was a gentle hand on his arm. He froze, swallowing heavily. âLuke,â you breathed, and the way that his name rolled off of your tongue finally persuaded him to turn around.
He moved slowly, his eyes glued to the floor. It was only when you squeezed his bicep that he finally dragged his gaze upwardsâhe had to hold in a gasp.
Your bottom lip was quivering, eyes sparkling with unshed tears. You inhaled, the breath shaky and difficult. Luke watched as your right hand came up, your thumb and forefinger pinching the bridge of your nose. You expelled a long breath, closing your eyes and shaking your head slightly. Luke was frozen, unable to moveâit had been so long since heâd seen you cry.
âIâm sorry,â you whispered, âIâm so fucking sorry. You have no ideaâhow many times I wanted to call you and tell you. I was so scaredâŚI didnât want to do it without you butââ
You broke off, clearing your throat. When you spoke again, your voice was laboured, thick with emotion, âI didnât want to hold you back. I couldnât. Youâit was your dream to leave, and I couldnât force you to stay just because we fucked up. It wasnât fair.â
âWhy didnât you abort?â Luke asked, âOrâthereâs always adoption.â
Immediately he cringedâthat was the best that he could do? It was obvious that you needed comfort, and he hated how the situation had robbed him of being able to wrap his arms around you and whisper consoling words into your ear.
You shook your head. âI didnâtâI donât know why. I think I justâŚdidnât want to be alone.â
Lukeâs heart shattered and his brain clicked.
âThatâs why you didnâtâyou didnât want to comeâfuck!â he exclaimed, smacking his hands against his face. He whirled around again, taking a few steps away from you and leaning his forehead against the wall, breathing heavily. Behind him, he heard you sob.
âIâm sorry,â you said again. Luke exhaled slowly, his nostrils flaring.
âWhen did itâ?â he paused, trying to rephrase, âWe were always careful. How did it evenâ?â
He waited for an answer. When you didnât reply, he turned back around, looking at you expectantly. You crossed your arms over your torso, hugging yourselfâLuke couldnât help but to notice how much youâd changed. You were softer, not only physically (though he found himself eyeing your new curves hungrily, aching to feel your skin underneath his fingertips), but emotionally. He vaguely wondered if that old predicament was trueâif motherhood really did make a woman more sentimental.
âIâm not sure,â you said, shrugging your shoulders sadly, âBut I thinkâ,â you sighed, ââdo you remember that night when we went to your dadâs church? And Iââ
âGave me the best fucking blow job of my life?â Luke supplied, âYeah, I remember. Itâd be pretty hard to forget.â
You froze, your eyes wide. And then you laughed.
Lukeâs brow furrowed, and his hands flew up. He couldnât help his agitation. âWhatâs so funny?â
You covered your mouth to mute your amusement. âIâIâm sorry, itâs justâŚIâve never really heard you talk like that before.â
You broke off into quiet giggles. Luke watched, shocked at how your mood had changed so drastically within seconds. The longer he stared, however, the quicker his anger seemed to seep out of him, and his frown began to lift into a smile. He couldnât help itâyour happiness was contagious. Luke smirked and a moment later, a low laugh slipped past his lips.
And eventually you both stood there, smiling bashfully and chuckling. You wrapped your arms back around your body. Luke stepped closer to you. You looked up at him, your eyes still wetâLuke presumed that they were a mixture of sad and happy tears. He lifted his hand, gripping your wrist and pulling your arms away from your body, effectively dismantling the makeshift shield that you had created.
âYouâre always fuckinâ doing that,â he grunted.
âDoing what?â you breathed, looking up at him from under your eyelashes.
âThis,â he said, squeezing your wrist gently, âAlways hiding away from me. I just want to see you, you know? Like, really see you.â
âIâm right here,â you whispered, your eyes fluttering closed before they opened once more.
Luke swallowed, taking another step towards you. Your fingers twitched; Luke loosened his grip on your wrist, though you didnât let him retreat, instead reaching for his hand and brushing your fingertips against his palms. He understood, lacing your digits together and squeezing appreciatively. You glanced up at him, your eyes hooded. Luke watchedâcompletely enrapturedâas you licked your lips.
âI really want to kiss you,â he blurted.
You pursed your lips, âI know.â
âSoâhypotheticallyâif I were to kiss you, would you be okay with it?â
âHypothetically?â you cocked an eyebrow, and Luke nodded. You shrugged. âHypothetically, I donât think itâd be a good idea.â
âWhy not?â Luke asked, his brow creasing and his heart aching painfully. He was so goddamn close. You were right there, pressed up against him, your breaths intermingling. His pulse was pounding, and his head was foggy as he breathed in the comforting scent of your perfume. He wanted nothing more than to kiss you, to grab your face and make sure that you knew how much he had missed you.
âBecause,â you said softly, âIf you kissed me, I donât think Iâd be able to stop myself from giving you the second best fucking blow job of your life.â
Lukeâs breath hitched in his throat. He stared at you in awe, but there was no shame in your expression. Your eyes were wide, tender, sincere. Even before heâd left for university, Luke had only seen that look a handful of times. He knew that it was a look that was reserved for him and only himâproof that he had finally broken down your walls.
And he was determined to make the most of it, before you built them back up.
âWould that be so bad?â Luke questioned, âHypothetically, I mean.â
You smiled wistfully, your eyes glimmering. Luke watched as you tilted your head up, your lips moving to form words.
âI guess not,â you paused, biting your lip. âKiss me, pretty boy.â
Yes.
When his lips touched yours, Luke felt like he was going to explode. His heart hammered against his ribcage, and his mouth tingled, the zealous feeling spreading from his lips throughout the rest of his body. He suddenly felt energized, like he could run a fucking marathon, and his fingers twitched against yours. He carefully slipped his hand out of your grip, moving instead to cup your cheeks and keep you close.
âI missed you,â he panted once youâd finally broken apart, âI missed you so fucking much.â
You looked up at him with vulnerable eyes. âIâuhâI havenât been with anyone. Not since you left.â
Luke tilted his head to the side in confusion. You gripped the collar of his shirt as though you couldnât bear to be far away from him.
âI meanâ,â you said, your voice taking on a hint of desperation, âFucked. I havenât fucked anyone since you left. But IâI wantâŚâ You trailed off, shaking your head. âGod, this is so embarrassingââ
âNo!â Luke cut you off, his tone higher than heâd intended. He cringed before sweeping his palms down your neck, across your shoulders so that his fingers were eventually wrapped around your biceps. Luke pressed a hard, fleeting kiss to your lips, âI fuckingâI want you too, shit. I justâare you sure?â
Instead of replying with words, you merely leaned up, your fists tightening around the fabric of his shirt as you delivered a bruising kiss to his mouth. Lukeâs hands immediately went to your head, his right cupping the back of your neck and his left raking through your hair.
You began moving backwards, and Luke opened his eyes in surprise (one of you had to watch where you were going). His hand shot out to stop your back from colliding harshly with the wall; the abrupt movement made you pull back, and after glancing over your shoulder, you giggled quietly. Lukeâs ears were hot, the sound of your laugh ringing like church bellsâand God, he wanted to repent.
âCâmon,â you mumbled, gripping his chin between your thumb and forefinger and pressing another short kiss to his lips. You sidestepped, grabbing his hands and pulling him through the doorway that led off into the small (and only) hallway of the apartment. Luke followed you thoughtlesslyâheâd follow you straight into hell, if youâd asked.
You led him down to the very end of the hall. Luke couldnât help but to glance at the closed door of Josephineâs roomâhis daughterâs room. The thought invaded his mind, and he almost stopped right in his tracks.
âLuke, Iâ,â you began, and he looked back at you as you pushed open the door of your bedroom. You had used his name; he knew that you meant to say something serious. He followed you inside, waiting for you to finish your thought, but you hesitated and clamped your mouth shut. You leaned up to kiss him, but Luke stepped back, shaking his head.
âNo. Youâre not allowed to do that now. Tell me what you were going to say.â
âItâs notââ
âPlease,â Luke was prepared to drop to his knees and beg. âDonât hide from me anymore.â He approached you again, pressing your foreheads together and tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, âOpen up, angel. Let me see you.â
Your breathing hitched at the pet name, and Luke smiled softly, immediately deciding that he liked it. You looked up at him, your arms winding around his neck, fingers playing with the soft curls at the back of his head. The double bed was so close, but Luke only had eyes for youâeverything else could wait.
âI justâ,â you said, taking a deep breath, âTell me what happens after this. With us.â
Luke tensed, his eyebrows knitting together. He wouldâve been prepared to answer anythingâexcept for that. Immediately, his mind was travelling a mile a minute, and he was trying to rack his brain for a reply.
He found none.
âI donât know,â he finally said, his voice quiet and ashamed. You swallowed heavily, nodding and looking away, running your own fingers through your hair. It was easy to see that you were flustered; your eyes were wide, lips swollen, nostrils flaring as you inhaled sharply. Luke just wanted to kiss the worry from your face.
âI donâtâ,â you began, shaking your head, âI canât let you go; I canât go through thatânot again.â
âI canât either,â Luke was quick to reassure you, gripping your face in his hands and leaning down so that he was staring into your frazzled eyes. âPlease, IâmâIâm here for the next two weeks. We can talk about it, we can figure it out, I promise.â
You stared at him, gnawing nervously on your bottom lip. Just when Luke was certain that youâd push him away, you did the opposite, pulling him in close and kissing him harshly. He resisted the urge to chuckle against your lipsâheâd never truly be able to figure you out.
âFuck me,â you whispered, and Luke let out a faint growl, not needing to be told twice.Â
He moved forwards until the backs of your thighs hit your mattress, and you pulled him down onto the bed. Immediately, he was on top of you, his knees and palms bracketing your bodyâyou whimpered, reaching for the hem of his white shirt and rucking the material up his torso.
He smiled against your lips, indulging you and pushing himself up. He sat back on his heels, reaching for the collar of his t-shirt and yanking the fabric up over his head. When he tossed it behind him and looked back down at you, he had to restrain himself from grinning. You were staring at him hungrily, your eyes soaking in his broad, bare chest, his smooth shoulders.
âYour turn,â he said.
You sat up, your gazes locking and staying that way as you reached for the top button of your black blouse. Hastily, you undid each clasp, but to Luke, it felt like eons had passed until you were finally slipping the material from your body, baring your blue bra to him. The garment was cuteâit was a periwinkle colour, with a small bow resting snugly between the cups, but Luke thought that it would look even cuter standing out against the dark hardwood flooring.
He said just that, and watched how you grinned mischievously before nodding. A moment later, your torso was bare, and Luke couldnât stop himself from reaching out and giving your breasts all the love and attention that they deserved.
âFuck,â you breathed, lying back as Luke climbed on top of you once more. He chuckled, and you let out an embarrassed laugh. âItâs justâitâs been a while.â
âTell me about it,â he groaned, tweaking your nipples gently.
You gasped, seemingly torn between arching your back for more and curling up to avoid the contact. Luke leaned down, kissing you passionately. You tangled your hands in his hand, your fingers tugging at his sandy curls when he moved away, pressing a kiss to your cheek and proceeding down the column of your neck.
âI missed you,â Luke mumbledâthe words were constantly there, pushing against the barrier of his lips. Without waiting for your reply, he took your right nipple into his mouth, swirling his tongue around the bud and reveling in the quiet squeak that left your lips.
Suddenly, he felt a hand pushing at his shoulder, and he pulled away from your nipple with a low âpop!â
âIs everything okay?â he asked, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, afraid that you would close up on him again. But you merely nodded, your eyes wide and your chest heaving with pleasure. Luke vaguely noted that your lower halves were still covered by black skinny jeans, and he vowed to do something about it.
âEverythingâs fine,â you breathed, inhaling, âItâs justâwe need to be quiet. And I wonât be able to if you keep doing that.â
Luke let the words sink in. After a moment, he chuckled, raising his hands. âAlright, alright. Iâll let it slide this one time.â
You smiled at him before sitting up, your hands sliding down your stomach, fingers fumbling with the button of your jeans. Luke helped you undo it, hooking his fingers into your waistband and tugging the denim down your legs. When the material was finally bunched up at your ankles, he pulled it off with a dramatic flourish, and you laughed softly at his antics. Luke beamed.
âYour turn,â you prompted, repeating his words from earlier.Â
With a quiet groan, Luke stood from the bed, messing with his own jeans and trying to remove them. You laughed yet again as he hopped around on one foot, and he pouted at you when he finally wrestled his pants off.
âDonât laugh at me,â he moped, âIâm trying to be sexy here.â
You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him back down to you and pressing a soft kiss to the tip of his perfect nose. âYouâre doing a fine job of it, pretty boy. I just like seeing youâthe dumb and clumsy you.â
âThe moodâs ruined,â Luke frowned childishly, and you merely cocked an eyebrow. You tilted your head upâpulling him into a heated kissâwhile your right hand snaked down his body, your palm eventually pressing into the bulge at the front of his boxers. Lukeâs hips bucked forward, and you grinned deviously against his lips.
âMhmâŚare you sure about that?â
âF-Fuck,â Luke stuttered, only making your smile widen. He blushed, his eyelashes fluttering down against his cheeks. You didnât stop, your fingers wrapping around his girth through the cotton of his briefs, and Lukeâs eyes nearly rolled back in his head (it had been far too long).
You rubbed your nose against Lukeâs jawline, and he was momentarily afraid that heâd come right there on the spot. It wasnât only your fingers squeezing his dickâit was the intimacy, the closeness, the knowledge that you were right here. Lukeâs hips rutted against your hand, and he buried his face into your neck, trying to muffle his groans.
âYouâve got to be quiet,â you whispered against the shell of his ear. Luke nodded fervently, using every drop of willpower to pull away from you and the heavenly sensation that you offered. He sat back on his heels once more, his large hands wrapping around your hips and dragging you closer to him.
You smiled mischievously as his fingers toyed with the waistband of your sheer black panties. Luke returned your expression, reveling in the gasp that you emitted when he yanked your underwear cleanly down your legs. You barked out a laugh.
âOkay, that was sexy.â
Luke bit his lip to suppress a smile.
ââM going to open you up now, okay?â he asked, and then continued on an afterthought. âI just really want to fuck you. I promise Iâll eat you out for, like, an hour later tonight.â
You smirked. âWhatever you say, pretty boy.â
He took his time, his hands running down your sides and his mouth open in awe when he finally felt the impact of your pregnancy. You were so fucking soft, and if it werenât for his raging erection, Luke probably would have nuzzled each roll of fat, each stretch mark, pressing consistent kisses to your skin.
He cursed when he swiped his index finger along your folds, feeling the moisture at the apex of your thighs. You shivered, breathing out a gentle âfuckâ and twisting your fingers into the bedsheets. Luke couldnât stop himself from popping his finger into his mouth, his eyes fluttering shut as he tasted you. His shoulders rolled as a shudder passed down his spine, and he brought his hands back down, his left poised carefully on the inside of your thigh to keep your legs spread.
You inhaled sharply as the first finger entered you. Luke watched you, completely enraptured by the creasing of your brow and the flaring of your nostrils. He leaned down, his left hand squeezing your thigh reassuringly as he pressed a hot, open-mouthed kiss to your swollen clit. A small âoh!â left your lips, and God, Luke was so fucking hard.
âYou okay?â Luke asked, looking up at you with concerned eyes. In response, he received a teasing shrug.
âYou donât have to be so gentle, pretty boy. Itâs not like I havenât done this to myself.â
âFuck,â Luke swore, pressing his forehead against your pelvic bone. Images of you getting yourself offâyour fingers between your legs, your body convulsing as you cameâflashed through his head, and he subconsciously rutted against the mattress. God, he was fucking pathetic, reduced once more to a fifteen-year-old virgin with quaking knees and fragmented sentences.
Your smirk grew, and Lukeâwho was determined to regain the upper handâpursed his lips, retracting his finger from your pussy only to plunge back in with two. It was his turn to smile smugly as he watched your back arch, your left hand flying to your mouth to stifle a moan.
âFuck me,â you gasped. Luke thought that it was merely an exclamation, but then you repeated the demand, your voice taking on a conscious and sure tone. He looked up at you and your eyes locked.
âAre you sure?â he asked. You nodded rapidly.
âItâs fine, Iâll be fine.â
Luke pouted playfully. âIâm kind of offendedâare you implying that I have a small dick?â
You laughed, and he grinned. With a quiet grunt, Luke pushed himself back up, clambering on top of you and pressing a messy kiss to your lips. It was barely a kiss, seeing as you were both smiling like idiots, lips bumping against teeth and low snickers being breathed into the clammy air.
âI love your dick,â you whispered against the corner of Lukeâs mouth, âYou know that.â
Luke hummed in response, pressing a final kiss to your lips before rolling off of you, his feet connecting to the floor. He stood, tucking his fingers into the elastic waistband of his boxers and hastily yanking the offending material down his legs. He stepped out of them once they pooled around his ankles, climbing back onto the bed and resuming his previous position on top of you.
âDo you have a condom?â he asked. Your eyes widened, and then you clenched them shut angrily.
âFuck, Iââ
âItâs okay,â he said quickly, âI canâpull out if you want? I got tested about a month back; Iâm clean.â
You looked skeptical but eventually you nodded. Luke returned the gesture, shooting you a reassuring smile.
He bowed his head, kissing you fervidly as he reached down, gripping the base of his cock and lining himself up with your entrance. The kiss deepenedâhe tried to distract you from the obvious discomfort that you would feelâas he slowly tilted his hips forward, his dick sliding into you with an obscene sound.
âShit,â Luke said immediately, his shoulders tensing and his vision whiting out for a good few seconds. You were so fucking tightâafter months with just his hand to keep him satisfied, he didnât know how long heâd be able to keep himself from coming.
âYeah,â you panted against his mouth, nosing along his cheek. Luke kept his right hand planted firmly onto the mattress next to your head, granting his left hand the luxury of exploring your body, feeling down your torso, squeezing your thigh and hip appreciatively.
âAre you okay?â he asked, pursing his lips. Hurting you was the last thing that he wanted to do.
But you just nodded, closing your eyes briefly before they snapped open once more. Luke immediately felt relief wash over him, and he drew comforting circles against the skin of your hip to soothe you. You shifted underneath him, and he tried to pull out, but you gripped his biceps, shaking your head silently.
You both stayed like that for the next minute, Luke watching as you closed your eyes, tuning him out and trying to grow accustomed to the foreign (though it used to be familiar) feeling. Finally, just when Luke was sure that his head was going to explode if he didnât move soon, you opened your eyes, squeezing his arms and nodding your head.
âGo.â
Luke groaned gratefully before pulling out slowly, watching your facial expression change from anticipatory to blissful. That was the only confirmation that he required, the last push that he needed to plunge back into you, coaxing forth a surprised gasp from your lips. He smiled lightly, biting his lip to stop the corners of his mouth from curving up into a radical grin.
âShit,â you whimpered, biting your fist to keep your moans quiet. Luke set a quick rhythm, leaning back slightly and placing both of his hands underneath the skin of your thighs. He pushed your legs upwards, practically folding you in half and thrusting back into you. You threw your head back into the pillows at the top of the bed, covering your mouthâthough your pleading, helpless whimpers still managed to escape.
âFuck,â he cursed, âYou feelâso fucking good. IâŚâ
âI know,â you mumbled, a soft moan tumbling from your lips. You reached out and Luke understood, leaning into you so that he could kiss you deeply. His lips proved to be no more useful at muffling your noises, so he pulled back, resting his forehead against yours.
âGod, I missed this,â Luke choked out, âMy fucking handâI could neverâŚnever evenââ
And goddammit, he wasnât making any sense. You felt too good, too tight for him to form even a single coherent sentence. His thrusts were already faltering, growing sloppy and sporadic, and he chalked it up to the fact that he hadnât fucked anyone in so longâhe hadnât fucked you in so long. And he had missed it. Fuck, he had missed it so much.
His hips stuttered when you subconsciously clenched around him, and a shudder raced down his spine. He fell forward, his elbows digging into the mattress beside your shoulders.
âKiss me,â you gasped, and Luke obliged happily. The kiss was so fucking messy, tongues and teeth and whimpers and groans and God, Luke thought, it was perfect.
âIâI canât,â Luke stuttered out, driving into you with more force and speed, determined to make you come so that he wouldnât look so utterly pathetic. âI canât hold it, âm sorry.â
âItâs okay,â you soothed.
You rubbed your palms along the vast expanse of his shoulders, and Luke wanted to cry because wow, here you were, looking more beautiful than ever, and he had been able to provide only mediocre sex (at best). Yet you didnât appear to care, seemingly happy merely because he was with you, and Luke felt his heart somersault in his chest at the realization.
His sudden awareness pushed him to do it: he managed to snake a hand down your body, his thumb rubbing hard circles into your clit. Lukeâs chest panged victoriously when he angled himself perfectly, the head of his cock spearing directly into that special spot inside of you. Thatâcoupled with the stimulation of your clitâwas enough to push you over the edge, and you shook in Lukeâs arms, your orgasm overtaking you.
Luke swore when the silky walls of your pussy locked down on his dick, and he knew that he had to pull out. He steadied himself, sliding out of you in one fluid motion. As soon as he made a fist around his dick, he was coming, the first spurt of come streaking against your hip.
âFuck,â Luke babbled, his head becoming foggy, âI love you. I fucking love you so goddamn much.â
Somewhere, deep down in the cobwebbed corners of his mind, his brain panicked, realizing what heâd said and screaming out a steady chorus of âfuck, fuck, fuck!â
But a larger part of him was drunk on pleasure, unable to register even the most obvious of movements, too high on bliss to remember anything. Luke shuddered, the last bit of his come kicking out and lacing onto the skin of your thigh. He slowly opened his eyes, blinking lethargically and trying to take in his surroundings. In a way, it was sort of like being reborn.
And then he slumped on top of you, not caring that his own come was being smeared between you. You let out a surprised groan, but Luke silence you by pressing his lips against yours, the kiss chaste yet passionate.
âYou justâ,â you began, and Luke nodded solemnly, sighing. Here it wasâthe part where you pulled away from him, built up your walls and withdrew once more. He was used to it, but it still stung.
âI know.â
He was waiting for the blow: the tensing of your shoulders, the angry smouldering of your eyes. You would most likely roll over, sit up and mumble about how the whole thing had been a mistake, how you had both let it go too far. Lukeâs jaw clenched as you opened your mouth.
âI love you too.â
~*~
âYouâre going to call, right? And weâll Skype?â
âYes, pretty boy,â you blew a strand of your hair away from your forehead in exasperation, securing your arms around the toddler who sat on your hip. Luke watched you with fond eyes, his gaze flitting over to his daughter.
âGoodbye, Jo,â he mumbled sadly, leaning down and pressing a kiss to the girlâs hair. âDaddy loves you very much.â
âItâs been two weeks,â you teased, âDonât you think youâre rushing into things?â
Luke chuckled, shaking his head. âShut up. You know youâre going to miss me.â
It was likeâwith those wordsâa dam had broken inside of you. Luke watched, utterly horrified, as your eyes filled with tears. His lips parted in surprise, and then he was pulling you into his arms, burying his face into the crook of your neck. âOh, shit. Please donât cry, Iâm sorry.â
âNo,â you tried for a sad laugh, âDonât be sorry, Iâm sorry. Iâm just being stupid.â
âYouâre not stupid,â Luke said earnestly, trying to sear the words into your brain. He pulled back, stroking your cheek while the toddler in your arms gnawed on the skin of your shoulder. Luke heaved out a tired sigh, trying to take in all the details of your face before boarding the plane. He was painfully aware of the suitcase resting only a foot behind him, the handle gleaming in the bright lights of the airport.
âIâll be back before you know it,â Luke assured you, though his own voice was thick. âFive months, okay? And then Iâm coming back. For, like, two months. Two full months.â
You gave him a watery smile, and Luke returned it. He leaned down, kissing your lips softly. A grainy voice came onto the intercom, informing him that other passengers of his flight were beginning to board. Luke pulled away from your lips (quite reluctantly, if he was being honest) and looked at you helplessly. You pursed your lips and tried for an encouraging smile, nodding for him to go.
âI love you,â he reminded you.
âI love you more,â you replied softly. Luke pressed another kiss to the top of his daughterâs headâgrinning widely when she giggledâbefore turning around, gripping the handle of his suitcase and heading off to the gate of his flight.
He forced himself to stare straight ahead; he watched where the other passengers were lined up, their tickets in their hands as they waited for the slips to be confirmed by the flight attendant at the door. Luke closed his eyes for a moment, counting down the days until heâd see you again.
Five months in England. And then two months spent with you. Another four months, gone, separated by thousands of kilometres. And then three months, back. The cycle would repeat once more, and then he would finally be through with his studies.
And that meant coming back to youâand to his daughter. To several job opportunities that he would happily consider. Luke found himself smiling at the groundâonce upon a time, he had hated how predictable his life had been; you had been able to offer that deviation, the rebellion that he secretly craved. And now, he just wanted certaintyâyou provided that sense of support, that promise of stability.
It didnât matter what Luke needed; you were always there, and with you, things always had a funny way of working out.
He boarded the plane.
