Luke breaks his lips from mine and kisses his way to my neck. I move my head to the side to make it easier for him and I hold onto him tight. I feel his tongue trail along the side of my neck and up to the bottom of my ear.
“Let me take you home,” he says as his breath heats against my ear lobe. I wrestle with my response for about thirty seconds before I push the niggling feeling away and I nod my head at him. He lets go of me and grabs my hand, holding it firm in his grip.
As we make our way back into the main room, I stop walking. Luke turns to me, and I can see the fear that I may be about to change my mind in his eyes. He couldn’t be more wrong. I am not going to change my mind.
“I just need to tell Maggie that I won’t be going back to hers,” I say, and I immediately see the relief in his eyes. I free my hand from his and push my way through the dance floor until I spot Maggie, still dancing in the middle of the crowd. I reach her and tap her on the shoulder to get her attention. She turns to me, and I lean in so that she can hear me.
“Maggie, do you mind if I go home with Luke?” I ask her, not failing to notice the surprise in her eyes. Maggie is aware that I have gone back to my parent’s house due to Luke and I having an argument––I haven’t divulged the exact ins and outs to her though. How can I when I don’t fully know them myself?
“Luke?” she says in a high-pitched voice. I nod at her and feel a smile spreading across my face. “About bloody time!” she remarks before shooing me away from her. I tell her to let me know that she has got home safe, and she says that she will. I promise to call her tomorrow and then I turn and make my way back through the crowd. I keep my eyes peeled for Luke, and I feel his eyes on me before I see him.
As I emerge from the crowd, he comes from nowhere and takes my hand. I let him lead me out of the club and to his car, which is parked across the road. He opens the car door for me, and I get in. I watch him run around to the driver’s side and jump in the car. He starts the engine and then we are off. No words are exchanged during the drive. I think both of us are too worried about saying anything to ruin the intimacy that we just exchanged in Club River.
It doesn’t take long for Luke to get us back to the house. Once the car stops, Luke jumps out and comes around to my side. I am exiting the car, but before I know what is happening, Luke lifts me up and I automatically wrap my legs around his waist. He walks to the front door, unlocks it and kicks it shut behind us. His hand grips the nape of my neck as he makes his way up to the bedroom.
Once in the bedroom, he lies me down on the bed and looks deep into my eyes. I can feel his bulge straining against his jeans and all I want is for him to be inside me and make me feel like only he can. He looks a little uncertain, as if he isn’t sure that I want this. I need to put his mind at ease and reassure him that I do.
“Make love to me, Luke,” I whisper to him. The deep growl that emanates from within him makes me tingle. With no further encouragement needed, Luke slowly places his lips on mine and begins to work his magic.
I feel for the bottom of his tank top, and I pull it up his body. He breaks our contact in order to take his top off, and then his lips are back on mine. I undo his jeans and push them down, along with his boxers, until I free his erection. I wrap my fingers around his length, and I slowly start to move my hand up and down.
Luke’s lips move from mine, and he trails them down my body. As he moves further down, I unwrap my fingers from around him. My hands fly to my hair as he hooks his fingers into the sides of my panties and pulls them down. I am still led on my back, looking at the ceiling, as he slips my shoes off and then lightly trails his hands back up my legs. I shiver with delight as he reaches the hem of my dress and pulls it upwards. I lift my ass in the air, so he can pull the dress up and over it. As he continues to try and move the dress up my body, I sit up and stretch my arms in the air, making it easier for him to undress me.
His eyes lock with mine once he has removed the dress and thrown it onto the floor. His hands then come around the back of me and unhook my bra. I put my arms down and he slides my bra straps along them, adding that to the growing pile of clothes littering the floor. He then stands up and completely removes his jeans and boxers. I bite my bottom lip at the sight of him standing in front of me, in all of his naked glory. His body really is magnificent. Something that I have always appreciated.
Luke drops to his knees and starts to kiss from my knee upwards. I lie back on the bed again and I relish in the sensations coursing through me. As he gets closer to my pussy, I open my legs wide, allowing him full access. I feel him lightly blow air across my clit, making me yearn for his tongue to connect with my sensitive bud.
“Look at me,” Luke says in a commanding voice. I prop myself up on my elbows and I do as he says. The look in his eyes makes me feel hot as hell. His desire is all for me. His need is all for me. And mine is for him. I watch as he lightly flicks his tongue across my clit, and it makes this moment so much more intimate. I struggle not to throw my head back as my climax builds. Luke knows my body, and he knows exactly how to pleasure me. He presses his tongue harder against me, and when he lightly sucks on my bud, I am done for.
“Luke,” I whisper as my orgasm hits. I cry out as he holds my legs in place and wrings my climax from me. Minutes pass as I try to calm my twitching body, the force of my orgasm completely rocking my world. Luke lures out every ounce of pleasure that he can, and once he has worked me down, I collapse backwards, and he climbs up my body.
“I love you,” he says as he pushes his cock into my opening. I grip onto his shoulders as he starts a slow and punishing rhythm. I kiss every part of him that I can as his strokes become more powerful. I run my tongue along his bottom lip and then lightly bite it with my teeth. The groan that comes out of him turns me on to the point where I am building to my second orgasm.
His hands grip my hair as our love making becomes more urgent. I meet his thrusts, clenching my insides as I hear his breathing quicken. It only takes a few more thrusts before we both reach our heights. Together we come. Together we ride out our pleasure. Luke stays on top of me, catching his breath before moving us both so that we are led under the quilt. I lay my head on the pillow and Luke wraps his arms around me. With my back to him, I make sure that I am as close to him as I physically can be. His legs link with mine, and I feel like there is nowhere else that I would rather be.
With the effects of our love making leaving me satisfied, I make a promise to myself. I promise that I won’t let the last week affect us any longer. I can’t be without him, and I don’t want to be. I need to believe him when he says that he is keeping me in the dark to protect me. Luke would do anything to keep me from any kind of danger. No other man will ever make me feel the way that he does. I need to trust that Luke will tell me when the time is right. I need to let go of the hurt and the pain. And right now, in Luke’s arms, I do just that.
Chapter Nineteen
I wake up and am still wrapped in Luke’s arms, in the same position that we were in when we fell asleep last night. The memory of our love making is fresh in my mind and it makes me smile. We have made love many times over the years, but last night was different. Last night felt amazing, and I can only think that is down to the fact that Luke and I have been apart. Sure, we have been apart before, but never because of me walking out on him. Me leaving has been the one and only time that I thought that we were over, and it is not something that I want to experience again.
I feel Luke stir behind me and then his lips are against my cheek, kissing me softly. I giggle as his stubble tickles against my flesh. I feel his lips pull into a smile against me and I let out a contended sigh.
“Morning, babe,” he says, causing my body to break out in goosebumps.
“Good morning to you too.” I turn my head so that I am looking at him and he places a light kiss on my lips. I can see a twinkle in his eyes that was missing the last time that I saw him.
“Are you okay?” he asks me.
“I’m better than okay.” The grin that breaks out on his face only reaffirms that my decision to come back here last night was the right one. He buries his face in my neck and loosens his grip around me, allowing me to turn my body so that I am now laying on my back.
“Last night was––”
“Us forgetting about the past week,” I say, cutting Luke off. He pulls his head up to look at me, and I can see the relief in his eyes. “I don’t want to fight anymore, Luke.”
“Me either. I’m so sorry about the way that I have behaved.”
I bring my hand up to his lips and I place my finger over them to silence him. “I don’t want to talk about it. I understand that if you could tell me then you would.”
