Luke stared at the clock in his room. 8:50 pm. He almost took it and changed the time to 9pm so he could go to Noah's. He was tired of waiting, tired of running through scenes that could play out tonight. If worse came to worst, he could have Noah drive him home if there were drugs involved and if Noah was part of that scene, he could call his parents. As for the alcohol, he didn't drink so he could easily decline, but if people were smoking pot, it would permeate his clothing and his parents would most definitely smell it on him.

Luke stood up. "That's it. I'm going!" he said into the mirror before he gave himself the once over. "Good. I look good. I hope Noah thinks so too." He nodded to himself. "Wish me luck." Luke smiled at himself and said. "Good luck Luke." He spun away from the mirror and walked downstairs. His parents were cuddling on the couch, watching a movie while they talked in hushed tones.

"Bye." He said at the entrance leading into the room.

His parents turned to his voice and smiled. "Bye Luke. You look very handsome!" Lilly said.

"Have fun and remember our talk." Holden added.

"Yea.... um... right." Luke shook his head and waved before he left.

"What talk?" Lilly asked Holden, puzzled by his statement.

"You know. THE talk." Holden made air quotes.

"You too?" Lilly's laugh echoed in the room. "I did as well! Boy, what kind of parents are we? We give precautions about sex without consulting each other. Poor Luke probably felt like he was getting hounded!"

Outside, the moon was hidden by dark clouds. The rain had stopped and the street lights cast light in puddles on the wet road. Luke tried to walk slowly to Noah's house, but being only two houses away, he arrived early anyway. His hand shook as he rang the doorbell. He waited, trying to exercise some semblance of control in his body.

The door opened forcefully and made Luke suck in a breath as he jumped.

Winston laughed and pulled Luke inside. "Hi there Luke." he said happily. "How's everything going? Being in a new school can sometimes be crazy."

"It's going well sir." Luke answered, noticing that Noah's dad's hand was still on his shoulder.

"Hello Luke." Cherie walked into the foyer. "Noah is upstairs finishing up. He'll be right down." Her smile sparkled as she neared Luke. "You look very handsome."

"Thank you ma'am." Luke smiled. Now only if Noah thought so.

"Call me Cherie."

"And you can call me Winston." Noah's dad said before he walked away, then called over his shoulder. "You, Noah and the guys have fun tonight."

"Thank you sir- Winston."

"Did I hear the doorbell?" Noah called from the stairs, on second to the last step.

Luke angled his head to see Noah. His eyes widened when he saw his tall, attractive date. Noah was wearing a deep blue colored shirt. One of Luke's favorite shades of blue, but now it was without a doubt, his VERY favorite color. Noah's hair was damp, but it was styled and his blue eyes looked bluer when Noah met Luke's gaze.

Noah smiled, seeing the astonishment on Luke's face- it affirmed that he looked great. "Hi Luke." Noah smiled as he approached the blond who seemed to have turned into a mute. "Luke?" Noah laughed. Luke still hadn't moved or gave a response to his greeting. "Are you ready to go?" Noah asked, looking at his mom, then shrugging. "What did you do? Tell him the story of how you and dad met or something? Maybe that I was conceived on the same night?" Noah laughed.

"Noah Alexander Mayer!" Cherie scolded with a smile as she wagged a finger at him. "That's enough."

"I'm kidding." Noah said, wrapping his arm around Luke's waist and gave him a squeeze.

It broke Luke out of his spell. He yelped and began giggling.

"Ticklish?" Noah asked and began to wiggle his fingers up and down Luke's waist.

"St- Stop!" Luke laughed harder. "You're going to mess up my hair!"

Noah did stop after hearing that ridiculous statement. He laughed and jokingly touched Luke's hair. "Uh-Oh! A few strands are out of place!" he widened his eyes and covered his mouth as if he was terrified of what he'd done... then he laughed.

Cherie kissed Noah on the cheek before mentioning. "Behave tonight Noah."

"Yea, yea. I'm a good boy." Noah said to his mother, but gave Luke a wink and a naughty smile.

Luke snickered and followed Noah out the door. At the car, he said, "I like your parents."

"They're alright. Gave me a fucking sex talk though. I guess because this is my first 'date' in a long time." Noah said, opening Luke's door for him, then he realized what he'd done and walked away shaking his head. When did opening a car door become a prerequisite for a first date?

"I thought you dated?" Luke asked as he lowered himself into the car.

"I said I hooked up. That's different from a date." Noah said, putting his key into his ignition before turning his lights on.

"Oh. Well, guess what, I got the same talk." Luke chuckled. "I wonder what my parents think? That I'm some out of control sex fiend? I mean come on. I'm almost eighteen... I don't need them preaching safe sex to me!"

"They're parents. It's their job to humiliate us." Noah backed out of the driveway.


"Whoa!" Luke exclaimed, seeing Travis's house when Noah pulled to the curb to park. There were lights lighting the whole driveway and the front door of what looked like a mansion.

"His parents are Doctors." Noah said as he put the car into park and turned the engine off. "Ready to go in?" he asked, rubbing Luke's forearm.

The tiny hairs pricked up on Luke's arm as Noah ran his hand over it. Luke drew a shaky breath and nodded with a smile. At this point in time, he thought he'd go just about anywhere with Noah. The senior intrigued him and as he slowly came to know him, he wanted to know more... everything in fact. He got out of the car and waited for Noah to walk around it to join him. Noah did, taking his place right next to Luke.

Luke swallowed a sliver of fear and glanced at Noah's hand before taking it in his own, entwining their fingers together. Noah smiled at Luke and gripped his hand tightly. He asked Luke, "Want a kiss before being surrounded by obnoxious people?"

"Uh..." Luke stopped walking and looked around.

"Because I'd really love to kiss those ridiculously plump lips right now." Noah raised his free hand and delicately traced Luke's lower lip. "How do you do it? So sexy." His lips crashed to Luke's without warning and immediately became attached.

Luke gasped at Noah's sudden movement and almost stepped back, but he felt Noah's arm circle his waist, holding him close as his tongue teased his lower lip. Noah was nibbling on it, sucking on it, and gently pulling on it with his teeth. Luke's lip tingled. Noah was such an excellent kisser. He left Luke wanting more. He opened his mouth and coaxed Noah's tongue inside. 'I'm in heaven! This guy, the one I met mere days ago, has taken me and made me his with a couple of exceptional kisses. I love his sarcastic nature and his teasing while he flirts. That's all he is, just a big flirt. I shouldn't take offense at it. Maybe I should have a few comebacks of my own and shock the hell out of him?'

Luke moaned and raised his hand to the back of Noah's head. He pulled him closer, their lips sealed tighter, their kiss becoming frantic and needy. Luke's lungs filled with Noah's scent. He wanted to hold it in forever and remember this moment. Everything was changing and neither of them could pretend it wasn't.

"Hey!" Casey called out. Alison was on his arm laughing. "Go do that somewhere else!" he said, breaking Noah and Luke apart by speaking.

"Somewhere else? How about in the backseat of your piece of shit car!" Noah retorted and let out a low chuckle.

"Been there, done that." Alison said to Noah, then laughed. She turned to her boyfriend and stated, "I'm going inside to talk to the girls, see you inside."

"Alright." Casey said and pulled her into a kiss.

"Get a room!" Luke called out.

Alison broke away from Casey and giggled. Casey neared Luke and Noah. He stood next to his friend and faced Luke. "How are you Luke?" he smiled as he looked at the blond up and down. 'He's been kissing Noah. Damn! I have a feeling I'm out two hundred bucks! How does Noah do it? He can have any guy.... er, gay guy he wants!'

"I'm good."Luke answered, seeing that Casey was dressed casually in jeans and a tight white tee shirt. "How are you?"

"Ready to party!" Casey said loudly and laughed. "I'm going in. Coming or are you going to stay outside and make out all night? Get one with nature?"

The three of them looked up to the sky when it began to drizzle again. "Shit." Casey exclaimed. "I told Ali we could do it in the hot tub out back. Guess that's out."

"You could do it in the bathtub." Luke teased, trying to fit in. He smiled at Casey and got a large one in return.

"That's a great idea! Travis's parents have a huge soaking tub in their master bathroom! Luke, you're alright man." Casey patted Luke's shoulder and walked off.

Noah looked at Luke, then his eyes raised to his hair. "Better get you inside- your hair is getting ruined." he joked before poking Luke in the ribs. Luke giggled and swatted Noah's hand away.

"I'm really, really ticklish." he admitted. "So you may want to watch it. I don't want to have to fight you off of me."

"Ok, but I'd win anyway because I know how to take a man down." he flirted.

This was Luke's chance. He had to think of something fast before the opportunity to give a smart ass remark passed. "I'm sure you know how to take a man down, but I prefer going down on a man." Luke said, then hid his face. 'So not what I wanted to say!'

"Is that right?" Noah said amusedly. Just before he opened the front door, he said in a devilish way, "I'd like to be that man.... tonight." He leaned in to Luke to kiss him, but Luke reached past Noah and opened the door then pushed him inside. "Not tonight Noah." Luke said with a smirk.

"A guy can hope." Noah said to Luke, then addressed the room. "We're here! Let the party begin!"

Travis and Megan were already drinking the brandy Noah gave them earlier in the day. Megan was seated in Travis's lap, arms around his neck, kissing him. Travis had pulled up her skirt a little ways and had his hand on her thigh.

Noah turned to Luke and said, "Looks like the party's already started." He turned back to the group and took Luke's hand as they walked into the large living room.

"Sit on the couch." Noah said to Luke. "I'll get us a soda."

"Ok." Luke answered and turned around. He walked to Tyler and Bess and sat next to Tyler. "Hi." Luke said politely.

"Hey." Tyler said with a nod of his head, then turned away to nuzzle Bess's neck.

"Luke!" Bess grinned at the attractive blond. "I'm so happy you could come."

Megan stopped kissing Travis long enough to say in a slurred tone, "Luke's here! The most attractive gay man in school is at my boyfriend's house! Suck on that fuckers!"She raised the bottle of brandy as if toasting Luke, then took a drink.

"Don't mind them." Ella said. She was sitting next to Will on the other couch, along with Casey and Alison. "They raided the liquor cabinet before we all got here."

Luke smiled and asked, "How are you two?"

Will looked at Ella and back to Luke. "We're fine. You?"

"Good."

"You must be kind of nervous coming with someone you hardly know to a house full of people you barely know." Will stated. "Do you want something stronger than a soda?" If Luke was drunk, he knew Noah wouldn't take advantage of him and therefore, he and his friends would win this bet.

"No, I don't drink." Luke answered with a weak smile.

"Travis has some weed. Want that?" Will asked, staring at Luke. Take the bait! He tried to tell Luke telepathically.

Luke shook his head. "Don't do drugs either. Noah assured me that there wouldn't be any drug use here."

Casey spoke up. "There won't be. Will is just trying to get a feel for you."

"No one is going to get a feel for Luke, except me." Noah warned with a sly smile as he walked back into the room carrying two sodas. He gave one to Luke and sat on the armrest of the couch, next to him.

"I want to see that!" Megan laughed. "Feel him up Noah!"

"Baby, you don't want to see that." Travis brought her lips back to his and kissed her deeply.

"So," Alison asked, "what does everyone want to do? We came here for some fun, right? Are we going to do the usual or something different?"

Bess perked up and announced. "The usual, but with a twist!"

"Ok, what?" Alison asked. Casey took her hand and kissed it before he whispered, "I have plans for us."

Alison turned to look at him. She tilted her head and promised, "Later stud." The look in Casey's excited eyes and the goofy smile on his face made her giggle.

"If you two are done.....?" Bess asked Casey and Alison impatiently. "I have to be home in four hours so I don't want to waste any time."

"Oooh, daddy dearest has a tight rein on you, doesn't he? Alright, what's the twist?" Casey asked.

"You have to kiss the person you find." Bess grinned, satisfied that her idea would be accepted, but it was rejected.

"No way!" Will said. "What if I find Noah or Luke? I'm not kissing their mouths."

"I agree." Casey said. "No offense guys, but I don't want to kiss either of you."

"I have no objection to kissing anyone here." Noah said with a laugh.

"Me either." Luke added with a smirk as he looked around the room.

"Well in that case, I want to find Luke and Noah!" Bess cheered. Tyler rolled his eyes and put his arm around her to control her enthusiasm.

"I want to find Noke and luah.... I meant, Noah and Luke too!" Megan said drunkenly.

Ella smiled at Alison and said, "I think we'd all like to find Luke and Noah, but we aren't going to go around kissing people. Let's get started. Um Luke... or Noah? One of you has to stay here."

"I will." Noah said as he raised his hand.

"Alright then. Boys first. You know the rules, no hiding in the attic or basement, outside or in the garage. No lights and no talking. Go hide." Alison turned off the lights after she shooed them with her hands.

Luke didn't know what to do. They were playing hide and seek? How was he supposed to know where he was in the dark? This house was huge and he didn't know his way around. He held his hands out and stubbed his knee on something. He walked around it and kept heading straight. He touched something wooden. Feeling around for a moment, he determined that it was a banister. Suddenly, lightning struck and he could see for a moment. He ran up the stairs as a series of flashes occurred, then he was in complete darkness again.

Luke felt for a wall, then followed it to the first room he came to. He could feel the lush carpet under his feet. It had to be a bedroom. A single bolt of lightening showed him that it was a small sitting room. He had the chance to look around and realized that there was nowhere to hide in there. He walked back out of the room and continued, passing more rooms. He finally was forced to settle for the next room he'd found when he heard the girls giggling and saying, "We're coming boys and Noah too."

Luke didn't know all of the rules. Could he hid under the bed or just next to it? Could he hide in the closet? He felt around with his foot outstretched so he wouldn't trip unexpectedly. He felt a bed. He placed his hand on it and walked around it with his hand guiding him. He crouched down, hoping that one of the girls wouldn't find him, but that Noah would. He held his breath when Megan entered the room calling out, "Travisssss. Where are you baby?"

Luke was happy when she left. He heard more giggling as one of the girls, he didn't know who, sounded like she found someone.

It was Bess. She entered a bedroom, felt around, then got on her hands and knees. She crawled around the bed and hit her head on another head.

"Ouch!"

"Oh it's you Will."

"Hi Bess. You found me." Will smiled in the dark room. "Let's go downstairs and wait for the others."

Luke was getting cramped because of the way he was hunkered down. He quietly moved so that he was sitting on his butt. He didn't think he made a noise, but he must have attracted someone because he heard something in the room. Then he heard--

Meow, purr, mew

A cat came to him and rubbed it's head on his knee. He petted it, thinking it would shut up, but it purred louder than the engine in Noah's car. "Go away!" Luke whispered, trying to push the cat away. That made it all the more determined to stay. Luke held stone still when he heard another noise. 'Not another cat.'

Luke stayed still with the hopes that the other cat wouldn't come near him and start purring and making noises. Luke inhaled, then stopped breathing. Cologne. He smelled Noah. He wanted to pop up and scare him, but he wasn't supposed to move until Noah found him.

A breathy whisper reached Luke's ears. "Smells like a blond in here. Is that you Casey? You know, I've had a secret crush on you for some time now. I think you like me too. I see how you stare at my cock in the showers at school. I bet you'd like to suck me off. Want to right now? No one has to know. Hell Alison probably wouldn't care."

"What!" Luke asked, standing up angrily.

Noah laughed and stepped in the direction Luke's voice had come from. "I'm kidding. Casey is hot and buff, but very straight and very in love with Alison." He extended his arms and found Luke.

Noah embraced him and said in Luke's ear, "Found you."

Being in the dark had awoken Luke's other senses. His ears were very sensitive and those two words tickled his inner ear. Their familiarity seemed a little more dangerous in the dark and silence.

"Guess I win." Noah said, his voice had a thickness in it that hung suspended in the room.

"Win?" Luke asked with uncertainty.

"Yea. I win." Noah's smile was reflected in his voice.

"Win what?"

Seduction oozed off each word Noah whispered. "You. For the rest of the night."

"Win me?" Luke shook his head, not amused at Noah's choice of words.

Noah couldn't see his hand in front of his face, but he felt the air shift from the movement of Luke's head.

Luke timidly stepped away from Noah with his nerves on edge. "I don't think so Noah." he said apprehensively, eager to leave the room and Noah.

With a low and beguiling voice, Noah spoke,"Come on Luke. We've made out before. I just want a kiss.... or ten." He smiled, wondering what kind of look was on Luke's face. "Please... precious." He could hear Luke's breath quicken. 'That's it Luke. You want me, don't you. I can tell. You ARE mine tonight.' Noah's body warmed all over with the thought of Luke naked, beneath him, moaning, writhing, begging for him to fuck him faster... harder... deeper. Noah was so willing and eager to comply, to fulfill Luke's request and give him the ride of his life.

"O- Ok." Luke stuttered. "I guess that's fine." He put his cupped hand in front of his mouth and breathed into it, hoping his breath smelled alright.

"I'm going to turn on the light. Stay there." Noah said and felt his way around the bed. Luke heard the 'click' of the lock on the door, then suddenly, the room was bathed in light. They both squinted their eyes.

"Why did you lock the door?" Luke asked.

"The rest of the group is still playing the game. You wouldn't want them to disrupt us. I know you're a little hesitant about my friends catching us making out, right?"

Luke nodded, grateful that Noah was so thoughtful and had taken his feelings into consideration about someone walking in on them. Almost as if Luke were in a hypnotic trance, he gazed at Noah, who was walking towards him with a seductive smile on his face. Inevitably, Luke grew excited. He knew his attraction to Noah was growing even though Noah was a little aggressive.

Noah didn't waste anytime. With his hands on Luke's hips, he pulled him tightly against his body. Luke let out a small whimper. Noah took advantage and covered Luke's open mouth with his own before plunging his tongue inside.

Luke didn't like the way Noah just advanced on him. When he began to pull away, Noah tightened his grip on Luke's hips, but eased off on the rough kiss. He softened his lips and gently kissed Luke, feeling Luke relax considerably.

Luke felt out of this world. Noah's tender kiss sent him soaring. His hands found the back of Noah's head. His fingers played in the dark, wavy locks as he moaned.

Noah broke away, only to move his lips down to Luke's jaw. He left a trail of dampness as he kissed his way to the area near Luke's ear. He whispered seductively. "You are so gorgeous Luke. I want you so badly right now."

"Ahem." Luke cleared his throat. "I don't think so." he said ducking his head.

"I know. You're not easy and I don't blame you. You don't know me that well, but if it's any consolation, I'll tell you that I am a great catch." Noah snickered and kissed Luke's ear before gently biting on his earlobe.

"Uhhhmmm..." Luke sighed heavily as his eyes closed. That was just one of the spots on his body that really turned him on when someone paid attention to it.

Noah knew that impassioned sound. Most guys moaned or groaned like that when Noah found the spot that drove them crazy with desire. He took Luke's lobe in his mouth and began to suck on it, grazing his teeth on it and nibbling on it. Luke reacted positively with another moan and a loud exhale. Noah rained kisses downward, settling on the crook of Luke's neck and began to suck on it, but he was abruptly stopped.

"Not the neck. I have certain rules about that." Luke's hand rested on Noah's chest as he spoke. He felt Noah's chest rise and fall and the beating of his heart on the palm of his hand. He met Noah's eyes and smiled. "Ok?"

Noah nodded disappointedly. 'I'm going to lose my car. He's stubbornly unyielding. What the hell am I supposed to do. Beg and cry? I would never do either one of those things. I'm not that hard up. Damn it to hell.' He answered, "Sorry. I didn't know."

"It's alright, now you do." Luke smiled, running his finger along Noah's strong jawbone. "You're very handsome. I'm surprised you don't have a boyfriend."

"Maybe I do and you just don't realize it yet." Noah hinted with a grin.

Luke blushed. He couldn't be Noah's boyfriend already. It was too fast. He shook his head and clarified his action, "It's too soon."

"Oh, you thought I meant you?" Noah teased with a wide smile. His hands snaked under Luke's shirt and felt his chest hair. "Jesus...." he whispered, becoming aroused before Luke grabbed his arms and pulled them out of his shirt.

"Don't." Luke said sharply.

Noah's crestfallen face saddened Luke. He explained to Noah,"I just... it's too much, too quick."

"I understand." Noah frowned and said, "For the record, I love a man with chest hair. From the short time I got to touch you, it was like being in heaven." Noah turned around and walked out of the room without a glance back, leaving Luke feeling somewhat empty and guilty for the sudden change in Noah's good mood.

Noah entered the living room and turned on the light. Grumbles of displeasure filled the room. His friends were engaged in making out made him turn the light back off.

Casey had seen Noah's face before the light went off again. "No such luck with the chastity belt, huh?" he smirked. Alison smacked him on the chest and whispered, "Luke is a person with feelings. Don't talk like that."

Noah answered with a simple, short, "No." He sighed and turned to leave the room to sit outside and think when he heard Luke call to him from the top of the stairs. 'Great, he probably wants to go home. I can't believe I couldn't get in his pants. What is wrong with me? No one turns Noah down. No one, unless they're straight or a virgin. This fucking sucks big time!'

"What?" Noah answered Luke.

"Come back. I want to talk to you." Luke whispered down the stairs loud enough for Noah to hear.

Noah rolled his eyes, but he went upstairs anyway. He was really attracted to Luke, but the boy frustrated him. He was a prude and everything he'd tried to get Luke into bed failed miserably. He didn't know what to do. He plastered on a smile before he entered the bedroom.

"Change your mind sweetheart?"

"Er, no. I thought we could talk. Do you want to sit on the bed?" Luke asked, looking at Noah warily.

"Sure. If you sit with me." Noah said and took a seat. He patted the bed and waited expectantly for Luke.

Luke nodded, moved to the bed and sat cross-legged on it, next to Noah. "I feel awful." he admitted.

"Why?" Noah cocked his head, taking Luke's hand. He grazed his fingertips across Luke's hand, giving the blond goosebumps.

"Well, I feel responsible for the way you left the room. I guess I should have laid down my guidelines before we began to kiss. I disappointed you." Luke said and cautiously looked at Noah to see his reaction. What he saw pleased him. Noah smiled at him and kissed his cheek.

"Don't worry about it. I know I came on strong, but Luke," Noah pulled his hand away from Luke's. He let out an audible breath and said, "It's just hard being a guy. You know how it is. Things can easily get carried away and tonight, I felt that you wanted to be with me too. I thought you really liked me."

"I do!" Luke's hand turned Noah's head while his other hand unconsciously rested on Noah's thigh. He gazed into Noah's bright, blue eyes with his concerned brown ones, hoping that he'd convinced Noah.

Noah's expression reflected his arousal. Luke smiled, happy that Noah believed him.

"What are you thinking? What are you feeling?" Noah's voice was incredibly deep and sexy. Luke felt a deep pulse inside him, throbbing out of control.

"I- I'd like you to kiss me." Luke spoke softly, yet it stirred up excitement in Noah. Luke could not deny that being alone again with Noah excited him as well. Memories of kissing Noah a short while ago flooded his senses and aroused him. He knew when he asked Noah back up here that they weren't really going to talk. He knew he wanted to kiss Noah again and chills of the upcoming taste of Noah's mouth made his heart race.

"I'd really like that." Noah smiled and cupped Luke's cheek before he kissed Luke. A low distant rumble of thunder sounded, a flash of lighting lit the backyard, then torrents of rain pounded the window outside. It was romantic. The sound of thunder reminded Noah of how his body should be crashing into Luke's with the same power as the storm.

Noah pulled away to look at Luke and felt drawn to him. Something he'd never felt before with anyone. Feelings for Luke that were buried, were surfacing and would soon be realized. Noah moved forward again, he planted a blistering kiss on Luke's lips that softened into an exploration of his mouth. His tongue was tentative at first, then more assured and confident. Luke's velvet tongue responded to Noah's. Noah wrapped both arms around him, an embrace that kept Luke from falling over as his mind was overrun with sensations. Luke cupped the back of Noah's head as he molded his body against the brunette's frame. He opened his eyes briefly to see Noah through the haze of heat. This is what he wanted. This heat was spreading along the underside of his skin, scorching him pleasantly. The tingling in his lips drew a hunger in his groin, gathering fullness to his cock. Somehow, Luke found himself on his back with Noah hovering over him, attending to his earlobe.

"Ah-ah, Ah-aaah, Ah, Ah-ahhh." Luke's heavy breathing filled the rooms atmosphere.

"God Luke, you sound so sexy... so-" Noah was interrupted when Luke brought Noah's head down, leading his mouth to his lips. Luke kissed Noah this time, unrestrained while bumping his hips up against Noah's.

Noah took a chance, damn the consequences, and cupped Luke's ass. He heard Luke moan, deep in his throat. Noah sighed in relief. It seemed that Luke was breaking his own rules. Noah felt a pang of guilt, but more importantly, he felt something for Luke. Noah had never been kissed with this amount of intensity before and it let him know how much Luke liked him.

Luke stretched his neck back to break the kiss so he could talk. He said, slowing his words, "Noah? I think.... I think that maybe... I want to...." He knew Noah wanted to have sex. He said just a while ago that he wanted Luke.

Noah held his breath. His first thought wasn't that he was going to win the bet, keep his car and make eight hundred dollars. No, his first thought was about Luke and what would happen after tonight.

"Are you having second thoughts?" Luke asked with a tender brush of his fingers in Noah's hair.

"No," Noah said, except that he was. For the reason that having sex with Luke would leave him disgusted with himself because he used Luke for a fucking bet. He didn't count on the feelings building within him for the blond. Feelings of not just wanting to satiate himself, but of affection and even respect for Luke. Luke was no innocent in the bedroom, but to Noah, Luke seemed so fragile, as if he'd break. Luke was truly the submissive bottom. His gaze compelled Luke to look at him. Luke's gaze instantly zeroed in on Noah's.... he looked like delicious temptation.

"Do you want to take the next step? Do you really want to be my lover... Luke?" he asked, then licked his lips. He didn't wait for an answer. He lowered his head and kissed Luke again, earnestly persuading Luke.

A zing of passion and desire shot through Luke's veins, rendering him breathless and dazed. His heart pounded with caution and excitement. Did he want to take this further? There was something about Noah that captivated him. He was comfortable around Noah and for some reason, he trusted him.

Noah's finger dragging down Luke's chest drew his attention. Luke's hand covered Noah's. He was fully aware that the contact of their hands raised the physical attraction he held for Noah. He stammered, "I- I-" He shrugged, feeling a little shy about saying it aloud. 'Just say it! Say 'Yes! I want you to love me.'

"How do you feel about me, because to tell you the truth, I am enamored with you." Noah stated, catching a glimpse of frenzied lust in Luke's darkened brown eyes and a small smile on the savory lips he'd been tasting, nibbling and licking until this moment.

Luke licked his lips, compensating for the absence of Noah's and replied, his voice hitching slightly, "I like you a lot Noah." He stretched out and added, "At first, I was put off by you, but I believe your flirting and suggestive sexual advances are an act. I like you right now, just like this. We're talking and kissing and you're being a gentleman." Luke took Noah's hand and kissed it. A loud rumble of thunder made them both jump and laugh at their reaction to the storm.

Noah smiled with a wicked glint in his eye, speaking breathlessly, "I'm going to ravish you." He began by kissing Luke's temple, then his neck, tonguing Luke's adam's apple. Luke gasped when Noah's hand found the front of his jeans- rubbing him to full hardness. He closed his eyes and moaned, "Noaaahh..."

"I'm so ready." Noah said, sitting up. He unbuttoned his shirt, unfastened his belt, and undid his pants. Luke gulped, staring at Noah. He sat up as well and slowly took off his shirt, wondering if he was doing the right thing and wondering where the hell his willpower went. He stood up, pushing his jeans and briefs to the floor. He was completely naked when he slowly turned around to face Noah.

"Jesus Christ Luke, you're so..." Noah said, his eyes slowly dragging up Luke's body. Words couldn't do justice how Luke looked.

"Wow, you too." Luke said, eyeing Noah's body. He walked unsteadily to the bed as the fire's heat in his body reached his groin. Thunder echoed in the room again, matching the intensity of their beating hearts.

"Lay down." Noah nodded to the bed as he took a condom and a small container of lube out of his pants pocket and set it between the two pillows.

Luke crawled onto the bed and laid on his back. He resisted the urge to cover his erection.

At that point, Noah wished he had a pair of handcuffs. He could imagine Luke splayed out for him with his arms secured to the headboard- his for the taking to do whatever he wanted. Right now he wanted to touch Luke's irresistible, sexy body.

Luke lifted his hand and beckoned Noah to lay next to him. Noah did, with a smile on his face. The sensation of Noah's body next to his was incredibly sensual.

"Luke." Noah spoke quietly and gently and more quietly than Luke ever remembered. Noah's cock was full-blown and urgent, his hands burned to touch Luke, then abruptly they were. His smooth hands ran over Luke's skin hungrily, tracing his erect, sensitive nipple. Closer, he needed to be closer. Luke pressed tighter against Noah's body, his body arching into him. Noah's touch was dangerously exciting.

"You're so beautiful, precious. I want to make you mine." Noah murmured in Luke's ear.

Luke's blood quickened and the air in the room became thicker when the heightening awareness of how close Noah was occurred to Luke. His body pulsed and throbbed with each touch, each caress, each tender word whispered to him. He bit down on his lip to keep in his gasps of pleasure. Luke ran his hand down to Noah's erection. He wrapped his fingers around it, feeling the hardness under the soft skin and began to stroke him.

They moaned simultaneously before Luke stopped his motions. He took his hand off Noah's cock and placed his hand on Noah's cheek. "Noah, I can't wait anymore. I'm going to burst. Kneel between my legs, face me." he looked to his right and picked up the lube and the condom.

Noah opened his heavy lidded eyes when he heard Luke's pleading request. His breath had shortened and the state of his increased sexuality almost seemed desperate. He knelt between Luke's open legs and readied his fingers with lube. Noah's fingertips touched Luke's hole, eliciting a weak, wanting moan from Luke's mouth. Noah's voice cracked when he asked, "Is this what you want?" This was so different from being with some random guy. He cursed his lack of composure and confidence.

Noah asked, "Well, do you?" as he sensually circled the area around Luke's opening with his fingertip before pressing against the pucker. A cry of approval escaped Luke- he wanted it so bad. The sensations in Luke were building and building. He responded by wiggling his ass downward, onto Noah's finger. "Oohh" Luke moaned.

Noah smiled. Hearing Luke moan like that, affected his drive. He worked his finger in, then two others. He stroked over the swell of Luke's 'pleasure spot' within, electrifying Luke's central nervous system. Luke raised his shoulders and arched his neck back as a long, hoarse moan filled Noah's ears.

Noah breathed noisily, getting even more worked up.'Holy fuck! He's going to make me spontaneously shoot. God he's so hot!'

Luke felt so good he didn't want it to end. It was a wonderful feeling of torment. When Noah caressed that spot again, Luke sat up, embraced Noah and gave him a deep, possessive kiss bound together by their hot flesh.

"Luke-"

Luke nodded, the unspoken question understood. He watched Noah roll on the condom before he raised his legs to go around Noah's body.

"Um..." Noah began. 'I always do 'em from the back. Oh well. Doesn't matter.' He guided Luke into position and settled into his own position by leaning down and placing his hands on either side of Luke's head. He pressed against Luke's entrance, feeling some resistance, then said, "Give in to me. Surrender." He pushed a little harder and ran his tongue over his lips as his cockhead slipped in.

"Ohhh Noah...." Luke breathed, feeling only subtle discomfort when Noah entered. He liked the way Noah was filling him.

Noah paused and gazed into Luke's eyes for signs of pain, but all he saw was a tender look and a smile. It was quickly replaced with an impatient look that said, 'More dammit!' In that moment, because of everything that led up to this intimate act, Noah had never felt so whole, so wanted, so happy. He thrust into Luke, hard and deep. Luke rocked to Noah's movements, moaning so frantically and uncontrollably that it brought Noah close to orgasm. Noah burrowed himself deeper, realizing what could be between them- something wonderful. He surrendered as well. Surrendered and allowed himself to feel affection for Luke.

Luke tilted his pelvis, the movement sent shudders of pleasure throughout them both. Luke ran his eyes and hands frantically over Noah's body.

Noah withdrew and shoved himself back inside smoothly, slowly, then rapidly. Luke murmured huskily, "Ohh yeaaa, like that Noah, just like that!"

Noah's orgasm was building, yet he kept his restraint. He knew exactly how to move inside Luke to produce those intense, heart-stopping, exotic sensations and vocalizations.

"OH SHIT NOAH! AHHH-"

"Keep your voice down." Noah grinned. "They'll hear you."

Luke's back arched, the back of his head pressed into the pillow as he uttered beautifully, "AAH- O-OK, Mmm..."

Noah thrust against Luke again, each stroke building the excitement. "So- Damn- Tight..." Noah panted. "UHMM! Do that again, squeeze me hard inside you."

"Almost.... almost...." Luke stiffened and gasped, experiencing euphoria wash over him. His legs clamped fiercely around Noah's ribcage and his arms around Noah's neck as he came due to the fact that Noah's abdomen was rubbing his erection.

For a long moment, Luke was unable to breath or move. The aftershocks of pleasure shook him to the core. He ran his hands up Noah's bare back, relishing in the sensuous feeling of damp skin and bands of muscle beneath it.

Noah finally let loose now that Luke had cum. He grunted several times, breathed and gasped and filled the condom with his release. He looked down at Luke's face as he erratically plunged in a few more times, then shuddered. "Fuck! That was-"

A knock on the door caught their attention. They turned to see that Casey had opened the door and was staring wide eyed with his mouth gaping open.

"Ahem!" Noah said, "A little privacy."

Casey shook his head and blinked. First, he saw Luke's kiss swollen lips and his disheveled hair before he noticed that their naked bodies were joined. 'Noah did it! He fucking did it! Shit!'

"Case-" Alison pressed against his back and over his shoulder. She saw Noah's naked body on top of Luke. "Holy shit! Let's go." she said in shock and tugged on Casey's arm.

Luke giggled in embarrassment.

"Fabulous idea Alison. Go." Noah said and looked at the beautiful blond beneath him. He began to kiss Luke's lips again, even before Casey had the door securely shut. 'I think I'm falling in love him. I have never felt this way with anyone before. We didn't fuck, we made love.'

'Oh God, I think I love him! He has to be the best lover in the world. He made me feel so special. He made love to me.... to my body and my mind. He was so tender and gentle. I can tell he really cares about me.' Luke smiled up at Noah while running his fingers through Noah's dark hair. "Noah,"Luke said, wanting to disclose his feelings and emotions.

"Hm?" Noah answered, his lips on the side of Luke's neck. He spoke softly between gnawing on it, "You taste so good.... Shit, you were so good. You're so precious Luke."

Luke's his heart fluttered at the compliments Noah was showering him with. He moaned, letting his head sink to the side to encourage Noah to continue to devour his sensitive neck. "You were so good Noah. Thank you for taking such good care of me." Luke sniffled.

Noah raised himself up on his elbows. He stoked Luke's cheek and pulled Luke's bright and radiant gaze into his, seeing that a single tear had rolled down Luke's face. Noah brushed his lips against the tear and came close to kissing Luke's trembling lips. He whispered with compassion, "Don't cry. It's alright. I'm here and I'm not leaving."

Luke sighed in relief. He had let his guard down and thought it was a possibility that Noah would get dressed and leave, then brag about fucking the new kid.

Noah's lips met Luke's again. He felt like he gave his heart and soul with this exhilarating experience they'd shared.

Noah walked downstairs with Luke following close behind. The lights were on in the living room and the group of friends were talking in hushed tones. They all looked up when Noah and Luke entered the room, but all eyes were on Noah.

Casey chuckled and shook his head.

"Alright Casey, I know you told everyone so I'm putting it out there." Noah turned and grabbed Luke's hand, pulled him close and smiled at him. He addressed the room and said, "Yes. Luke and I were upstairs getting it on."

Luke ducked his head when everyone stared at him, really stared. He turned beet red and stifled a nervous giggle.

"Good for you." Tyler said in a snappish way. He couldn't afford to pay two hundred bucks. Not all at once anyway.

Luke wondered why Tyler made that remark, but let it slide when Travis broke in suddenly, "On whose bed?! hope you cleaned up or at least aired out the room."

"It's fine. We didn't use your parents room, we used yours." Noah smirked as the room erupted in laughter. "Alright, we used the guest bedroom Travis, but uh, you may want to wash the comforter before your parents come home. You know, cum stains and all. Your parents might think you're actually getting something."

"Ha-Ha, smart ass. Then you two are sleeping in that bed." Travis said to Noah before turning to Megan and kissing her.

Noah faced Luke and asked, "Wanna stay down here for a while?"

Luke looked at the couples and shrugged. "Not really." he said, looking up at Noah.

"Luke and I are going upstairs to bed." he announced.

"Again?!" Will asked, amazed. Noah really did have it going on.

"No, unless anyone here wants to give me more condoms?" He looked around the room and stated, "Thought not." and smiled. He took Luke's hand, leading him upstairs and back into the sex and sweat scented bedroom.

Luke stepped into the bedroom and looked around curiously, his face heated up when he looked at the disheveled bed, reminding him that he had sex with Noah minutes ago. Did Noah feel anything afterwards like he had?

Noah began to strip. He saw Luke frozen to the spot and said, "Come on. Get naked. It's not like I haven't seen your hot bod before." he smiled.

Luke's lips turned up in a smile. He nodded and undressed as well. Noah shut and locked the door this time and snuggled under the blankets next to Luke.

"I had a really good time Noah. I'm glad you invited me." Luke said in the dark.

"Me too, on both counts." Noah turned his head and pecked Luke on the lips.

Luke's tongue compelled Noah's mouth to open, then he sank into a hungry kiss with all the passion he possessed. The contact with Luke's supple lips again sent vibrating sensations spreading along Noah's nerves. After breaking the kiss, he hugged Luke close, his chin resting on top of Luke's head, the silky, blond hair tickling his throat. 'Why do I feel like I never want to let him go?' He suddenly realized the truth, his suspicions were right all along. 'I want to tell him that I think I love him, but is this what that feels like? All I know is that I want to be around him as much as I can. It must be love. It's nothing I've ever felt before.' Noah closed his eyes, smelling Luke's hair, feeling Luke's chest rise and fall, and Luke's hands gently caressing his back.

Luke sighed contentedly and closed his eyes. He could smell Noah's cologne, hear his deep breathing, feel his breath on the top of his head and his arms wrapped around him. He smiled and went to sleep.
