''So tell me how is this supposed to work?'' Luke leaned a little forward adefiant glare in his eyes.

'' What services exactely do you want me to provide?''he asked , hoping that the sullen choice of words would cover up his insecurity.

''None that you're not willing to provide if that's what's worrying you. This is a business deal not a sexual assault.''

Luke pursed his lips, still not moving in his chair his head tilted and his eyes still asking.

''Have you never… Oh yeah right.''

Luke rolled his eyes at the suggestive undertone in Dr. Oliver's voice.

''Ok I'll explain you how it's done. We have sex twice a week you know how that works right. Same place same time. We meet up there no small talk no flowers or candy. We get naked and we do it. Then each goes his own way and keeps pulling off the day's dutyplan. It's just a purely physical thing with both partners as equals. So you can have your migraine anytime.''

''Where? A hotel.''

''Golly no are you insane? In this town we would not even have the chance to lose the pants before the neighbor squad shows up to stick their nose in. What about your new place do you have a roommate?''

''I live alone.''

''Perfect. Your place it is then. See you tomorrow night at 7.P.M. Mr. Snyder.''

Dr. Oliver gave Luke few seconds to protest and when there was just a nod coming from across the table he got up and reached for his jacket.

Before he turned around to leave he looked down at the table straight into Luke's eyes.

''I must say I'm quite impressed that you can also take it and not only dish it out.''

Luke watched him leave the coffee shop, rolling his eyes at this arguable compliment. After all agreeing to prostitution was not something he would shout proudly from the rooftops.

Luke snapped his laptop shut and pciked up the plate of pasta he had placed on the table just a minute ago. Walking back into the kitchen he placed it in the fridge and poured himself a glass of water instead. Why the hell had he agreed to this. Looking back there was no logical explanation he could think of that would justify doing such a stupid thing. The knowledge that he was in over his head and that he would have paid a high price to get the chanec to back out nagged at him and made him nervous and edgy. As he walked back and forth between the fridge and the kitchentable he let his gaze drop down to his watch. Fifteen more minutes. Let him at least be punctual he thought to himself. Dragging this uncomfortable feeling out was really the last thing he would enjoy.

The sound of the doorbell interrupted his nervous rounds around the apartment just a few minutes later.

Luke cleared his throat and straightened his shouldes as he walked over to get it, swallowing his nervousness and insecurity on the way.

''I only have half an hour until I have to go to a job interview so I would appreciate it if you could hurry.''

Luke had positioned himself in the doorway wearing an annoyed expression. If he had to let Dr. Oliver take this victory then he would at least try to make it as least enjoyable as possible for him.

''Can I come in though? I would hate to do it here on the doorstep.''

Luke twitched his lips and stepped aside, exhaling sharply. Keeping up his let's get over with it attitude he prayed to god that there'd be nothing to give away the fact that he was really scared to death.

''Nice place. A little smaller than the Grimaldi residence.''

''Snyder.'' Luke corrected him keeping up the pouty tone.

''I won't need the guided tour just show me the way to the bedroom would you?''

Once they were inside the bedroom Luke had no idea anymore how to cover his insecurity. He just stood there waiting no clue as to how to start sex without the cuddling.

The kiss hit him by surprise and it made him moan with all the tension he had been keeping inside all day. It was nothing like the kisses he had been used to sharing with Noah. It wasn't tainted with emotions, no heartfelt prelude to lovemaking, just purely physical and purposefull. And he was surprised at how nice a purely sexual kiss could feel.

The touches were new and interesting too. No loving caresses but firm grips into flesh, carrying desire and lust. They were not meant to endear but to heat up and Luke could hardly believe how his body betrayed him by responding to them so quickly.

Before Luke could even get the chance to reach out for buttons and zippers Reid had already undressed them both and led them tot he bed.

Luke was grateful fort he fact that Reid was entirely taking the lead since his mind was to messed up with various emotions to get a grip on any clear thought.

Luke rolled around on his side as he tried to catch his breath. The fact that Dr. Oliver had gotten up right after his climax suited him all too well since it gave him the oppurtunity to turn around and come back to his senses again. His mind was shaken with what had just happened and there was no way he would let him read in his face what an earthshaking orgasm he had just had.

When the waves of pleasure had stopped shaking his body he rolled over again and watched Dr. Oliver fasten his belt and bent down to pick up his shirt.

Luke pushed aside the covers to get dressed as well but Reid just waved his hand for him to stay where he was.

''Don't get up on my account Mr. Snyder. I'll see myself out.'' He picked up his jacket from the floorand was gone before Luke could say anything.
