Own nothing…..love all of it! ASP you turn us round and round! This isn't going to be heavy just fun! I'll let the others take care of the details.

So….Good Something

She pushed the door closed and the house was suddenly dark and quiet….

Lorelai gently pulled her lips from Luke's. A girl needs to breath she thought. She looked into Luke's eyes and saw nothing but caring there, the anger finally gone. In fact his eyes were a little red, her first physical indication that these past weeks had been as hard on him as they had been on here. Interesting….she had heard tales. She unfastened his jacket and pulled it off. It had been a while and she needed to feel his body against hers.

Luke gave her less than a minute to catch her breath then he pulled her in for another kiss. God, he had missed her…he had missed this. He ran his hands down her back and back up again. He couldn't get enough, feel enough. It seemed like it had been an eternity since they had been together like this, an eternity of endless days and even longer nights. Sleepless nights spent in their bed. It had stopped being his bed the first night she had spent there. His life had stopped being his own that night also.

Luke pulled away this time murmuring, "We have to talk."

"Not yet, I want more of this." She tightened her hold around his body.

"But Lorelai I need to tell you…." Lorelai put her fingers to his lips.

"What could be more important than this, than us?"

"Certain things, events."

"Are you going to tell me you don't want me in your life anymore?"

"Hell no, I never wanted you out of my life. Things just got on a roll and you…and then I…..and the whole damn town…"

"As long as you want me in your life, we can talk later. Right now, I need you, I need this. In fact, I need you to pinch me."

"Pinch you?" That's the last thing he had expected to hear.

"Yes please."

Luke chuckled and since his hands were currently on the round of her rump, he gave her a good one.

"Ouch! That's going to leave a bruise."

"You asked for it. And now may I ask why?"

"I need to know this isn't a dream. I need to know that I'm not going to wake up and find slobber on my pillow and well, certain other wet body reactions."

Luke laughed. He had expected to come here and get into some heavy discussion about the last few weeks. But here they were practically back to square one with the banter and quick come backs.

"So there have been dreams?"

"Not that I would admit to."

"Dreams about me and this?" Luke maneuvered his hands under her tee shirt and undid her bra.

"I'll never tell."

Luke kissed her softly on the lips. "Hey, do something for me will you?"

Lorelai flashed a wicked grin, " Just about anything."

"Pinch me."

"Ahh, so you've been dreaming about me?"

"Maybe."

"And in these dreams we were…..drinking coffee? having a picnic?"

"Not exactly, no."

"We were doing other things, more personal things." Lorelai was slowly unbuttoning his flannel.

"Yeah, maybe." God, he had missed this teasing and those eyes.

"Were we naked? Horizontal?"

"Maybe. Damn it! If you won't pinch me at least punch me."

Lorelai punched his arm lightly.

"That doesn't count."

Lorelai punched him harder. He winced and smiled.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome and why did I need to do that?"

"Cause I am an idiot and should be punished."

"Oh, so its punishment you need?"

"Yes, long and drawn out punishment. Punishment of the most excruciating kind, the kind only a woman can inflict." Luke kissed her gently on the lips.

"Ohh, that I can do. Cause in cause you haven't noticed, I am a woman scorned."

"Scorned? Not hardly."

"Worse, a woman dumped."

"No, if I remember right you dumped me."

"No, you dumped me. And in a grocery store might I add, right in front of the diapers and baby food. Quite a message you sent there."

Luke grinned. She would think of that. He had been so upset that he couldn't even have told her where they were.

"So what happened to not discussing this now because there are more important matters at hand?" Luke ran his hands down her back and below her waistband, feeling the warmth of her body. He knew he didn't want to hash the whole thing out now either. There would be time. Now there would be plenty of time.

Lorelai looked at him and slowly grinned. "I knew you'd come around." Then her face darkened, "I know there are things to be said and feelings to be dealt with. But right now, I just want you. I need you. I've been sitting in this house for weeks watching depressing movies, eating the world's worst take out. My daughter has been home so much that I am thinking of making her pay rent. And poor Sookie is running herself into the ground trying to make me forget how pathetic I am. And believe me, I have been pathetic."

Lorelai put her hands on Luke's face, feeling the roughness of his beard. "Right now I need what we used to have. I need you to make love to me. I need to feel something real again. I need …."

Luke swooped her up in his arms and carried her upstairs. He let her down gently beside the bed, making sure that as he let go of her that her body made solid contact with his. Making sure that she knew he needed her just as much as she needed him.
