With Love in her Eyes and Flowers in her Hair
Luke pulled into the drive and glanced over with a sigh. "She out again?" Rory asked from the back seat.
"Yeah," he said as he turned the car off and turned to wake his sleeping wife. "Lorelai, we're home," he said softly as he shook her gently.
"Mumph," she mumbled as her eyes fluttered open. She looked up at Luke and smiled softly. "Hi," she whispered.
He smiled back and said, "Hi back. We're home. Let's get you to bed," he said opening the driver's door.
Lorelai glanced back at Rory with a smirk and said, "Always trying to get me in bed." She turned as Luke opened her door for her and said, "That's what got us in this fix in the first place."
"Oh, so that's what causes this," he said as he held out his hand to help her out of the Jeep. When he was sure that both feet were firmly planted on the ground he flipped the seat up and reached to help Rory from the backseat.
"Always the gentleman," Rory said with a smile as she climbed down.
Luke wrapped his arm around Lorelai's waist and guided her to the house. "Man, Friday night dinners can really take it out of you," Lorelai groaned. She yawned loudly as Rory unlocked the door and shuffled into the house, heading for the couch.
"Uh uh," Luke said catching her arm and steering her to the stairs.
"Don't wanna go to bed yet," she pouted as he propelled her up the steps.
"You can't pass out on the couch again. I can't carry you up the stairs every night," he told her sternly.
"Poor baby," Lorelai said sadly. "I'm sorry."
Luke shook his head as he led her to their room and said, "Don't be sorry. There's nothing to be sorry for."
Lorelai looked at him somberly as she sat on the edge of the bed and kicked off her shoes. "We, uh, still haven't," she said with a wince.
Luke finished unloading his pockets onto the dresser and turned to look at his exhausted wife. He walked over to her and brushed her hair back over her shoulder gently. "Lucky for you I'm beyond the age where that's always the first thing on my mind," he teased.
"Second," she said with a nod.
Luke smiled and said, "A very close second. The first is always going to be you, though," he told her softly. He shrugged and said, "You're tired. You haven't been feeling great. We've had a lot going on." He cocked his head and asked, "We're okay, though, right? I mean you aren't hating me right now are you?" he asked with a concerned frown.
"Oh God, no," Lorelai said pulling him down next to her and wrapping her arms around him. "I'm not avoiding you or it. Honestly," she assured him. "I just feel so wrung out," she said shaking her head slowly.
Luke nodded and walked over to her dresser. He pulled out a long t-shirt and walked back over to her. "Stand up and I'll unzip," he told her gently. Lorelai complied and Luke slid the dress from her shoulders. He unhooked her bra and tossed it aside, trying to keep his gaze averted from her burgeoning breasts. He bunched the t-shirt in his hands and slipped it over her head. "Arms," he told her. As Lorelai slipped her arms through the sleeves, Luke pulled her hair from the collar, and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. "Go brush your teeth. I'll be up in a little while," he told her.
Lorelai pouted and said, "I hate going to bed without you."
Luke smiled and said, "You'll be out in five minutes. I just want to catch the news and see some scores."
Lorelai nodded and asked, "Kiss? Real kiss?"
Luke quirked an eyebrow and asked, "Have I been faking it?"
Lorelai shook her head and said, "No, but you have been very brotherly."
Luke flinched a little and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be," he told her sincerely.
"I get it," she answered. "Of course, neither of us is getting it," she joked.
"Lorelai," he said with a sigh. He pulled her to him and kissed her sweetly.
She looked at him and said, "This weekend. You. Me. We're doing it," she told him as she stifled a yawn.
"Sure," he said with a tender smile. "Now, go get ready and get in bed."

Saturday afternoon, Rory and Luke came home to find a pile of shopping bags by the door and Lorelai sound asleep on the couch. Luke smiled and said, "I'll start dinner. Chicken okay with you?" he asked Rory.
"Barbeque?" she asked.
"Sure, if you'd like," Luke said with a shrug.
"I'll help," Rory said as they went into the kitchen. As Luke pulled some chicken breasts from the fridge, Rory said, "Poor Mom, she's really wiped out, isn't she?"
Luke nodded and said, "It's a little disconcerting."
Rory grinned and said, "Yes, it is. She's not usually so quiet."
"Or still," Luke said with a smile.
"The book Mom bought said that it's pretty normal, you know, to be really tired at first," Rory said comfortingly.
"Yeah, she told me that," Luke said as he pulled salad fixings from the fridge.
Rory looked at the lettuce with raised eyebrows and Luke laughed and said, "It won't kill you once in a while."
"Vegetable Nazi," she grumbled.
Luke smiled as he started chopping vegetables and said, "I like to think I'm more of a benign dictator."
"Sure, if that helps you sleep at night," Rory said with a smirk. "Potatoes or rice?" she asked.
"Rice, I think," Luke said as he tossed chopped veggies into a salad bowl.
"You want your fancy schmantzy rice cooker?" Rory asked going to the corner cabinet.
"Please," he said as he shredded lettuce. "Do you think your Mom will want barbeque sauce or should I cook hers plain?" he asked.
Rory thought for a moment and said, "You have four, so I'd cook one each way, that way we're covered for any eventuality."
"Good plan," Luke said with a nod as he finished the salad and put it in the fridge along with the leftover veggies.
Rory held up two bags of rice from the cupboard and asked, "Brown or white?"
"Do you have a preference?" Luke asked.
Rory shrugged and said, "Not really. I guess brown."
"I'll cook it with chicken broth, that'll give it more flavor," he told her as he set up the rice cooker.
"What's going on in here?" a sleepy Lorelai asked from the doorway.
"Dinner," Rory said with a shrug as Luke began to wash the chicken breasts under the faucet.
Lorelai walked over to him and said, "Hey good lookin', whatcha got cookin'?"
Luke smiled over his shoulder and said, "Chicken."
"Fried?" she asked as she glanced over his shoulder. The sight of the uncooked meat made her stomach lurch and she stepped back quickly. "Oh!" she said as she clamped her hand over her mouth and ran for the bathroom.
Luke dropped the chicken onto a paper towel he had spread on the counter and said, "I guess we won't be having chicken tonight," as he quickly washed his hands.
"Nope," Rory said as she unplugged the rice cooker.
"Be right back," Luke said as he dried his hands, grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and went after Lorelai. He found her bent over the toilet and quickly reached to hold her hair back as she disgorged the food court feast that she and Emily had shared earlier that afternoon. "Oh Lorelai, I'm sorry," he sighed as he gently rubbed her back.
Lorelai sniffled and said, "Tissue?"
Luke quickly reached for a handful of Kleenex and handed them to her. "I brought some water," he said softly.
"Damn it," she muttered softly.
"I know, I know. I'm so sorry," he said again.
"I'd hoped it went away," she whispered. Luke just nodded and pulled his legs out from under him to sit on the cool tile floor beside her, continuing the small circles on her back.
"I'm sorry about dinner, I don't think I can…" she trailed off.
"No problem. Rory wasn't too thrilled by it anyway," he said with a smirk. "We'll figure something else out," he told her. She sat back and blew out a disgusted breath as unbuttoned her too snug jeans. She looked over at Luke and promptly burst into tears. "Hey, hey," he said softly as he gathered her into his arms and pulled her into his lap.
"Stupid," she muttered into his neck.
"Shh, shh," he said stroking her hair. "No, not stupid," he whispered.
"I feel disgusting," she moaned.
"I know," he said as his hands ran over her back. "I'm so sorry that you feel this bad." He sighed and said, "I'd do anything to make it better."
"I know," she whimpered. She pulled back and said, "I planned on seducing you tonight."
Luke smiled and tucked her hair back behind her ears. "Really? It wouldn't have taken much," he teased.
"I feel so gross. I don't know how you could possibly want me," she said sadly.
"Never any worry about that," he assured her. He ran his fingers over her tear streaked cheek and said, "Lorelai, don't take this the wrong way, but I don't really care about, uh, that right now."
"You don't?" she asked.
Luke shook his head and said, "I mean, don't get me wrong, I want to, but I'm just happy you're home. I'm just happy that you're next to me each night. I know that you're having a hard time, and if I could fix it, I'd break out Bert and take care of that right now, but I can't," he said helplessly.
"Yeah," she said with a sigh. She looked at him and said, "I had to buy bigger jeans today."
"You did?" he asked glancing at her flat stomach.
"It's the waist. They're too tight," she said with a frown.
"Well, that's good, right? I mean, that means things are moving along," he said with a nod.
Lorelai pressed her lips together and said, "What if I feel this bad for months, and then by the time I feel good, I look like a cow and you don't want to…"
"Not gonna happen," Luke said firmly. "First of all, you've felt pretty good these last couple of days, aside from being tired. So maybe it was just the sight of the, uh, of that one particular thing," he said reasonably. "Second, I've already confessed my perverted attraction to my pregnant wife. I doubt that's gonna change anytime soon," he teased. "And third, and I can't believe I'm going to say this but, if you never wanted me to touch you again, I'd totally understand after what I've seen you go through these last few days," he told her as he shook his head in wonder.
Lorelai nodded solemnly and said, "Remember that when I'm screaming at you through labor."
"I will," he assured her. "We aren't in any hurry, are we? We can wait until you feel better. I want you to feel good," he told her sincerely. He smiled a little devilishly and said in a deep voice, "I want you to feel real good."
Lorelai giggled and said, "Boy, do I want that too." She ran her fingers over his brow and said, "I just miss you. I miss feeling that close to you."
Luke nodded and said, "I miss that too." He sighed and said, "You said last night that I've been acting, um, brotherly. I really haven't meant to. I just, I don't want you to feel pressured. I don't want you to think that I'm trying to, I don't know, make demands, or something."
"Exercising your husbandly rights?" she teased gently.
Luke smiled and said, "Well, you are supposed to cleave unto me," with a naughty waggle of his eyebrows.
"What? You want me to take a cleaver to you?" she asked with a smile.
"No," he said with a horrified look. "Tell you what," he said returning her smile. "We have a date tomorrow. Let's just relax tonight. Watch a movie. Just hang out and rest up," he suggested. "Tomorrow maybe you'll feel better, and I can take you to my nutty sister's crazy wedding. Maybe you'll feel better just having a good time instead of running around so much."
"Yeah," Lorelai said with a nod.
"I'll have to open in the morning, but I should be home after the breakfast rush. We can get dressed up all fruity and go out on our date," he said with a tender smile.
Lorelai cocked her head and asked, "Are you dressing up?"
Luke smirked and said, "I plan on going as the brother of the bride."
"No tights?" she asked with a pout.
"Not in this lifetime," he grumbled. "Come on, let's go get you cleaned up and get into our comfy clothes. Tonight, it will just be the Danes family at home," he told her.
"Sounds good," Lorelai said as she struggled to stand up. She looked down at him still seated on the floor and said, "Boy, I sure did pick a good one."
Luke shrugged as he pushed himself up and said, "Well, I was pretty ripe."
Lorelai tossed his a saucy grin and said, "And juicy. Don't forget the juicy."

They changed into comfortable clothes, and Luke gave Rory some money to go meet Lane for a contraband pizza. After popping 'When Harry Met Sally' into the DVD player, they settled on the couch. After a few minutes, Lorelai stretched out with her head in Luke's lap. "This okay?" she asked.
"Perfect," he said softly as he let his fingers trail absently through her hair. A short time later he said in a gravelly voice, "If it makes you feel any better, I'm having some distinctly un-brotherly thoughts." When she didn't respond he whispered, "Lorelai?" he leaned forward slightly and saw that her eyes were closed. He sighed and sat back as he listened to Billy Crystal babble about how men and women could never be just friends because the sex thing gets in the way. Luke smiled and mumbled, "True, Bill, but that makes it all that much better."
XXXX
The wedding was a blast. Lorelai, Luke and Rory had the best time trying to keep straight faces through the ceremony. They moved easily through the crowd, filling their plates and joining Jess for dinner. Liz and T.J. were on cloud nine. Even more so since Luke and Lorelai told them that they were going to be an Aunt and Uncle in March. The dancing had begun, and the last strains of Kajagoogoo were fading away as Kirk began to play a waltz for Liz and T.J.'s first dance. When he invited other couples to join them on the dance floor, Luke turned away from the juggler he had been talking to and looked at his beautiful wife. He held out his hand and asked, "Would you like to dance?"
"Sure," she said placing her hand in his and following him to the makeshift dance floor. As Luke led her in slow circles around the floor, he kept glancing down at her with a knowing smile on his lips. Lorelai tried to ignore his scrutiny, but felt herself blushing faintly as he pulled her closer and closer as the song continued. Finally, she pressed her cheek to his and whispered, "What are you thinking of with that smug look on your face?"
Luke inhaled deeply drinking in the scent of her hair and whispered back, "I was just thinking about how pretty you're gonna look in your flowers later tonight."
"My flowers?" she asked, her hand absently reaching up to touch the circlet on her head.
Luke smiled and pulled her up against him, holding her firmly as he whispered, "Yes, and nothing else."
Lorelai melted into him, her body swaying against his, brushing up against him in a dance of their very own. As the song ended, Lorelai whispered softly, "Please, please, please let it be another slow one."
Luke smiled and spread his fingers across her back. "It will be. I slipped Kirk a twenty."
Lorelai smiled and said, "No wonder he can buy and sell us all."
"Totally worth it," Luke growled as his lips brushed her ear. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat."
"You could just take me home," Lorelai said enticingly.
Luke shook his head slightly and said, "Not yet. I like this," in a voice that sent a shiver of anticipation down her spine. He pulled back and asked, "Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?"
Lorelai looked at him wide eyed and said in a breathy voice, "Why Butch Danes, I believe you're trying to seduce me."
Luke laughed and pulled her back to him. "Trying?" he asked in a dangerous growl. "Judging by the way you're pressing into me, I believe I could have you right now," he whispered.
"I believe you're right," she whispered back. She toyed with the ends of his hair, running her fingers through it and scratching gently with her nails. "I do believe you're right," she said with a sigh. "I want you so badly," she whispered into his ear.
Luke smiled, his cheek still pressed against hers as he whispered back, "Not half as badly as I want you."
"Let's go," she prodded.
"We will, soon," he answered patiently.
"Luke," she whined.
He smiled and said, "Oh look. How did we stray from the dance floor?" he asked innocently as he pressed her up against the gazebo and kissed her hard and hot.
When they broke apart, Lorelai panted, "Home now."
"Home soon," he promised as he took her into his arms again and began to dance her back to the crowded dance floor.
"You're playing with fire," she warned him.
Luke smiled at her and said, "And it's very hot."
"What? The almost three weeks of waiting weren't enough for you?" she asked impatiently.
Luke pulled her closer and whispered into her ear, "I like to think of it as foreplay." He brushed his lips in a feather soft kiss across her ear, and let his warm breath tickle her.
"Keep that up and I may come right here," she said in a breathy voice.
"Okay, let's go," he said taking her hand and pulling her towards the table where Jess, Rory and Lane were hanging out. He walked up to them and said, "Lorelai's tired. We're going home now."
"Oh, okay, well, I guess I'll hang out with these guys for a while," Rory said with a shrug.
Luke looked at Jess and said, "You'll make sure the girls get home okay?"
Jess blinked and said soberly, "I will protect them from the mean streets of Stars Hollow."
Lorelai grinned as Luke glanced around and said, "You don't know where some of these freaks come from."
"I'll make sure they get home," Jess said waving him off.
"Okay, well, we're gonna say goodbye to Liz and T.J., so we'll see you guys later," Luke said as he made a beeline for the bride and groom.
"She doesn't look tired," Rory said suspiciously as Lorelai trotted after Luke, waggling her fingers at them with a huge grin.
"Not at all," Lane said shaking her head.
Jess nodded and asked, "Movie anyone?"
Rory shrugged and said, "Why not? No sense in going home for a while," she said with a grimace.
"Hey Sis," Luke called to Liz as they crossed the lawn.
"There they are!" Liz cried to her group of friends. "Everyone, this is my big brother, Luke and his very cool wife, Lorelai. Luke and Lorelai just told me that they're going to have a baby!" she told them bouncing on the balls of her feet, and clapping her hands together.
Luke and Lorelai patiently accepted their congratulations before Luke said, "Hey listen, Lorelai's wiped out. We're gonna head on home," he told them.
"Oh, you poor thing," Liz said sympathetically. "Go, go home, put your feet up," she said with a nod, causing Lorelai to swallow a snicker.
"You look beautiful, Sis. I'm really happy for you," Luke said as he enveloped her in a hug.
"I'm so glad you were here for it," Liz told him.
"Lorelai, I gotta tell you, you're probably one of the hottest pregnant chicks I've ever seen," T.J. said sincerely.
"Uh, thanks T.J.," she said with a giggle. "Congratulations. It was a really nice day," she told them.
"Thank you for your help," Liz said as she squeezed Lorelai too tightly.
"Anytime," Lorelai answered with a wince.
"You'll call once in a while?" Luke asked as he took Lorelai's hand.
"We'll call. Bye big brother," Liz said softly.
"Bye Sis," he said with an affectionate smile. "T.J.," Luke said turning to his new brother-in-law, "enjoy the tights, man."
"Best things ever," T.J. said with a grin. "But, they're air pants. Remember that. Air pants," he said seriously.
"We'll see you," Luke said offering his hand.
T.J. took it and said, "Count on it."
As they walked away Luke asked Lorelai, "Why did that seem like a threat?"
"I think it was," Lorelai agreed. "Hey, I'm a hot pregnant chick," she told him as she took his arm and hugged it to her.
"Yes, you are," Luke agreed readily. As they passed a huge live oak, Luke pulled her behind the tree and kissed her again, this time sweeping his tongue into her mouth and massaging hers.
They broke apart when they overheard Patty saying to someone sotto voice, "And that, boys and girls, is how babies are made."
"Wow, public displays of affection," Lorelai said with a grin.
"Just trying to make sure we stay on the same page here," Luke said as he pulled her back to the sidewalk.
As they walked home, Lorelai said, "This was fun."
Luke smiled and said, "Yeah, it was."
Lorelai squeezed his arm and said, "So, hard to figure out which part of the evening was my favorite."
Luke nodded and said, "There were a few."
"The choking guy being Heimliched by the court jester?" she asked.
"That was good," Luke said with a grin.
"Or, um, the minister making out with crazy Carrie? T.J.'s brother making out with crazy Carrie? Or that last guy making out with crazy Carrie? Who was that guy?" she asked.
Luke frowned and said, "I think that was her husband."
"Poor Barry!" Lorelai gasped. She turned to give him a sidelong glance and said, "And it might be the dance."
"Liked that, did you?" he asked with a cocky smile.
"We always seem to get a little riled up on the dance floor," she said with a laugh.
"A little?" he asked as they turned down the driveway.
"A lot," she conceded. When they reached the bottom of the porch steps, Luke pulled to a stop and turned her to face him. "We're here," she said in a husky voice.
"You feeling okay?" he asked softly.
"I feel great, but I'm about to feel a whole lot better," she said as she surreptitiously ran her finger along his fly.
"Lorelai," he growled.
"Take me to bed," she whispered.
"Yes, milady," he said with a half smile.
They walked inside and directly upstairs, neither rushing, but both unwilling to be deterred. As soon as the bedroom door closed behind them, Lorelai pressed Luke up against it and kissed him passionately. When she moved to press hot kisses to his neck, he laughed and said, "Well, hello, Mrs. Danes."
She smiled and said, "I've got you where I want you."
Luke smiled as he pressed his head back against the door, granting her better access to his neck. "Now that you have me, what will you do with me?" he asked teasingly. Lorelai's hand flew to his fly and quickly unzipped it. Luke's eyes grew wide as she reached into his pants to stroke him. "So much for the preliminaries," he said in a raspy voice as she caressed him.
"Later," she panted as she bit his neck.
"Oh God, you're gonna have to stop," he said breathlessly.
"No," she said as she nipped at him again. She pulled back with a smile and said, "Oh hell no," as she dropped to her knees in front of him. She bent her head and took him into her mouth, sucking him deep and moaning around him.
"Lorelai, Lorelai," he panted as she pulled on his cock. She reached up to stroke him as she sucked, her hand matching the demanding pace her lips and tongue had set. She raised her eyes and met his as he watched her take him. "God, don't look at me," he gasped. Lorelai fixed her eyes on his and sucked deeper, moaning with pleasure as she felt the weight of him on her tongue. "Oh, oh, stop," he said, even though his hand clasped her shoulder and his other hand was wound in her hair, holding her there. "Lorelai," he gasped as he came, surging into her mouth and groaning loudly as he bucked against her.
Lorelai continued to draw on him gently, laving his cock with her tongue and pressing soft kisses to the head as he shuddered and shook against the door. She sat back on her heels and said, "Now, that's the kind of welcome home a girl likes to have."
Luke laughed as he tried to catch his breath. "Glad I could be of service," he panted as he bent at the waist and reached for her. He helped her stand, and she leaned into him, pressing herself against him sinuously as he buried his face in her hair. "Geez," he whispered against her hair.
"Wow, a full geez?" she asked. "I must have done well," she teased.
Luke chuckled and said, "I'd say so." He nuzzled her neck and whispered, "You're so good at that."
Lorelai smiled and said, "A wise man once told me that you have to love what you do. Of course, in this case, I not only love what I do, but also who I do," she teased.
Luke smiled and said, "I was seducing you, remember?"
"It worked," she said with an earnest nod. "I was on my knees within three minutes of walking through the door," she pointed out.
"I can't tell you how excited that makes me, watching you like that," he told her gruffly.
"You're a very visual guy," she said with a smile.
Luke smiled back and said, "Can we, uh, lie down now? I think my knees are giving out," he said with a chuckle.
"Poor baby," she cooed. "Let me get you undone," she said as she untied his tie and slid it from his collar.
Luke smirked as he braced his hands on her waist and said, "Already undone."
"Well then, let me get you naked," she corrected.
"Oh, well, okay," he said with a casual shrug. He watched as a tiny frown of concentration creased her brow as she slid the buttons of his shirt from their holes. She tugged it from his waistband and pushed it from his shoulders, smoothing her hands over the broad expanse, and savoring the feel of his muscles under her fingertips. She smoothed her hands over the front of his white undershirt, caressing him gently. "I love you, Lorelai," he said softly.
Lorelai jerked her head up to meet his solemn gaze and gave him a dazzling smile. "I love you too, Babe. So much," she told him with shining eyes. She dipped her hands under his shirt and grumbled playfully, "I would love you more if you didn't wear so many layers."
Luke smirked and said, "I like to make you work for it."
Lorelai smirked back and said, "Didn't have to work so hard a few minutes ago."
"No," he said with a rueful shake of his head.
"Up," she said as she lifted his shirt up and pulled it over his raised arms. She smoothed his hair back into place with long loving caresses as she pecked at his lips softly. She unbuckled his belt and opened the button of his pants, and gently pulled them down his legs, leaving his boxers on as she carefully tucked him back into place.
Luke blinked and asked, "Not naked?"
"In a minute," she answered. She nodded to his feet and said, "Shoes."
Luke toed his shoes off and stepped out of the pants that pooled at his ankles. Lorelai bent down and stripped each sock off before running her nails gently up the length of his legs. "What are you trying to do to me?" he asked gruffly.
"Three guesses," she answered with a grin.
"Uh, checking for charley horses?" he asked with a grin.
"Nope," she said shaking her head slowly as she leaned in to kiss him heatedly as she raked her nails through the hair on his chest.
"Trying to skin me alive?" he asked with a laugh.
"No, no, I like your skin," she murmured as she ran her thumbs over his flat nipples, and felt them harden at her touch.
"Mrs. Danes, are you trying to seduce me?" he asked as he gazed at her with heavy lidded eyes.
"Plastics," she whispered as she bit his earlobe and then sucked it into her mouth. She stepped back with a knowing look and turned her back to him. She pulled her hair over one shoulder and asked, "Unzip?"
"Oh yes," he breathed as he pulled the zipper down her back and trailed his fingers along her spine.
Lorelai danced away from him and turned around with a blinding smile. She let the spaghetti straps of her dress fall from her shoulders as she gave a little shimmy to shake it down over her hips. She lifted one foot behind her and slipped off her sandal, and then shifted to remove the other, bending over to give him a nice shot of her newly enhanced cleavage. As she straightened, she unhooked her bra and stood before him, letting him drink in the sight. Luke groaned softly and fisted his hands at his side. "You can touch me," she whispered. Luke's eyes flew to hers and he shook his head slightly. Lorelai smiled and said, "Its okay. They're not too sore today," she told him as she reached up to cup one breast in her hand.
Luke licked his dry lips, clearly torn, so Lorelai lifted the other hand and massaged her breasts gently. "I want to," he whispered raggedly.
"Touch me," she whispered softly. "Please Luke, touch me," she said with a moan.
Luke reached out to cover her hand with his, his eyes riveted on her swollen breasts. Lorelai slipped her hand out from under his and Luke groaned as he felt her nipple against his palm. He reached the other hand out and brushed hers aside, desperate to touch her. He tested the weight of her breasts in his hands, running his thumbs gently across her nipples and watching them tighten. His breathing was ragged as he swallowed hard and asked, "Can I?"
"Yes, gently," she answered softly.
Luke let his hand slide down to take hers and said, "Come with me," as he led her to the bed.
He kissed her sweetly and then gestured for her to lie down. When Lorelai situated herself on the pillows she reached out and pulled him down to her. Luke hovered over her, his hands pressed beside her head as he looked down at her with naked hunger. He searched her eyes for a moment, his own dark and stormy with need. Lorelai smiled and said, "I need you to love me, Luke. I need you to touch me," she whispered.
He reached up to touch the delicate wreath of flowers still pinned to her hair and said, "We're crushing your flowers. Here," he said as he rolled over and pulled her on top of him.
Once she sat straddling his hips, Lorelai reached for his hands, lacing her fingers through his and letting them slide the length of them slowly. Finally, she grasped his wrists and placed his hands on her breasts. "Touch me, touch me," she whispered as she ground herself against him.
"Oh God," Luke said as he sat up and licked at her nipple tentatively. Lorelai moaned and grasped his head, holding him in place as she writhed on top of him. He closed his mouth over the nipple, but did not suck on her. Instead, he circled his tongue slowly, trapping it in the heat of his mouth.
Lorelai moaned and said, "Please."
Luke drew gently on her nipple, feeling it rub against his tongue as he pulled it into his mouth. He quickly released her and moved to the other side, giving the other breast the same treatment. When he went to draw on it, he heard Lorelai moan deep in her throat, and almost lost control. He released her and pressed his lips to the valley between her breasts saying, "Oh Lorelai, I want to suck you so badly. I want," he groaned in frustration as he slid his hands into the back of her panties and squeezed her ass hard. "It's too much," he whispered.
Lorelai nodded and said, "I want that too. Soon," she promised. "Soon, you can suck them hard," she said as she rubbed against his erection. "Soon you can press your cock between them and fuck them," she promised.
"Lorelai," he groaned as he pressed against her sex and rubbed insistently.
"I want you to," she said breathlessly as she rubbed herself over him. "I want you to squeeze me and suck me," she panted.
"These have to come off," he said tugging at her panties urgently.
Lorelai lifted herself to the side of him as he pushed them down to her knees. When she lifted up, he pushed them down far enough that she could kick them off. She tucked her fingers into his boxers and pulled them down quickly, discarding them in the general vicinity of her panties. She straddled him again and reached for his hand, placing it at her soft, damp curls. "Feel," she breathed. "Feel what you do to me," she commanded with penetrating blue eyes.
Luke dipped a finger into her folds and found her slick and wet. He moaned and bit his lip a little as he parted her with that single finger, tracing her lips and trailing moisture over them. He looked up at her straddling him, the circlet of pink flowers on her dark curls, her head tipped back, as shivers of anticipation gave rise to goosebumps on her skin. Luke lifted his other hand and reached for the long pink ribbons that trailed down her back. He pulled them forward and draped them over her bare breast, watching her respond to the soft material against her hyper sensitive skin, teasing her as she undulated above him. Lorelai closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation of the ribbons tickling her breast as Luke's fingers skimmed against her sex. Without warning, Luke pressed his finger to her entrance and pushed into her heat. Lorelai's eyes flew open as she gasped and instinctively began to ride him. Just as suddenly, Luke withdrew his finger, causing Lorelai to groan loudly in disappointment. She looked down at him questioningly as he slowly lifted his hand to his mouth and slowly sucked her juices from his finger. He looked up at her with dark eyes and whispered, "I need to taste you."
Lorelai nodded mutely, mesmerized by his intense stare. Luke reached for her hips and lifted her up, pulling her up towards him as he slithered down to meet her. Luke stared up at her, wiling her to meet his eyes before he touched her with his lips. Lorelai tilted her head, the pink ribbons still trailing over her skin, the delicate pink flowers still in her hair. "Beautiful," Luke whispered. He grasped her ass in both hands and pulled her up over him. He slipped that finger around again to trace and tease her folds as he watched her quiver and arch toward his touch. He looked up again and whispered, "Beautiful. It's so beautiful how you want me," as he touched his tongue to her clit.
Lorelai bucked and parted her knees further, trying to get closer to him. "Yes, please," she begged softly. Luke circled her clit slowly with his tongue, laving it gently and nipping at it with his lips. He groaned as he licked his lips and plunged his mouth to her core, thrusting his tongue into her. Lorelai rode him, pressing against his mouth as he used his lips, tongue and teeth on her mercilessly. "Oh, yeah, Oh yeah," she said raggedly as she threw her head back wantonly. Luke felt like he was going to explode again just watching her. He took her clit into his mouth and sucked rhythmically as she ground against him. Unable to take it anymore, he pressed up on her hips, lifting him from him as he panted for breath, his chest heaving. He pressed her back and shimmied up until she was straddling his cock. In one thrust, he pushed up into her as he pulled her roughly down on him.
"Oh yes!" Lorelai cried as he plunged into her heat. She rode him wildly, bouncing on his shaft as he slid in and out of her slick folds.
Luke lifted up to thrust into her, matching her rhythm with hers. He looked up at her and whispered, "Fuck me, Lorelai. Oh God, yes," he hissed.
"Luke, Luke," she panted as she felt her orgasm coming fast.
"Yes, oh yes," he whispered as he loosened his hold on his control. He watched her face as her climax hit, her eyes opening wide before she closed them and let the waves of pleasure wash over her, whispering his name over and over again.
Luke lost himself in the sight of her, his own release coming fast as she watched her tumble over the edge. Luke came for the second time in a flood of relief. Lorelai could feel him hot and wet, coursing through her. "That feels so good," she panted as she continued to ride him, slowing, but steadily milking him as she squeezed around his cock. "It's so good to feel you inside of me," she told him.
Luke shook his head slightly to clear it and whispered, "I want to stay inside of you all the time."
Lorelai smiled and said, "We've talked about this before, Babe. That would make things a little awkward for some people," she explained with exaggerated patience.
Luke chuckled and said, "I don't care," as he shook his head slowly from side to side.
Lorelai smiled down at him and said, "I think that was the first time you ever told me to fuck you."
"Hey," he said, a blush tingeing his cheeks.
"What? You said it," she accused.
"I was under duress," he said with a chuckle.
"Under my dress?" she asked with an innocent smile.
"That too," he said with a laugh.
Lorelai smiled down at him and said, "It was sexy."
Luke turned his head to the side and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I think you were just hearing things."
"You said it loud and clear, buddy," she said as she poked his chest with her index finger. "It was hot. Usually, it's me saying that, or you telling me that you're gonna fu…"
"Okay, okay," he cut her off. "There's a child present," he said sternly.
Lorelai threw her head back and laughed. "Nice try, Buck-o, but no go," she said with a huge smile. She leaned down and whispered, "How'd I do? Did I fuck you well, Luke?"
Luke smoothed his hands over her ass and whispered, "Yes."
"And you liked it?" she asked teasingly.
Luke smirked and shrugged a shoulder saying, "I might be convinced to do it again sometime."
Lorelai smiled and kissed him softly on the lips. She looked down and said, "I have to move now."
Luke frowned and nodded reluctantly as she lifted herself from him and flopped onto her side, rolling toward him to plant a kiss to his shoulder. Luke lifted his arm and gathered her to him, and Lorelai snuggled against him happily. Luke smiled sadly and said, "I think we've crushed your flowers."
"Oh!" Lorelai said as she struggle to sit up, reaching for the pins that held if loosely now. Luke batted her hand away and slid the bobby pins out. He took the wreath and handed it to her carefully. Lorelai pouted and said, "Poor pretty little flowers."
"I'll but you another," he promised as she rolled to place it on the nightstand and then moved back against him to snuggle in again.
"That's okay," she said with a sigh. "I think I will press it, though," she said happily. "That way, we'll always have something to remind us of tonight," she said with a satisfied smile.
Luke trailed his long fingers up and down her arm. He glanced over at her and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fabulous," she said with a grin.
"Yes, you are," he answered with a chuckle. "You know," he started in a deep soft tone, "I had planned something a little more romantic," he told her dryly.
"Ah, well you know what they say about the best laid plans, or was that about plans to get laid?" she giggled.
"Ha, ha," he said dryly.
"I'm so funny," she said as she swatted his chest playfully.
"You are," he said hugging her to him. He kissed the top of her head and said, "I love this."
"Me too," she said as she toyed with the trail of hair that ran down his stomach. "As much as I missed the sex, I think I missed this even more," she admitted.
"This quiet time," Luke said with a nod.
"Just the two of us, the feel of your skin against mine. I can feel you inside of me," she whispered. "The rest of the world doesn't exist, it's just the two of us," she said with a sigh.
Luke smiled and said, "Three."
Lorelai lifted her head to look up at him and said, "Yeah, three of us." Luke stared at her soberly for a moment, his hand absently smoothing her hair over her shoulder. "What are you thinking about?" she whispered.
Luke smiled softly and said, "Yesterday Jackson said I had it all. He's right. I do."
"We have it all," she corrected. "The whole package," she said with a happy sigh as she rested her chin on his chest. She touched her finger to his soft lips, tracing them tenderly as she was lost in thought.
"Now your turn," he prodded as he pressed his lips against the pad of her finger in a series of tiny kisses.
Lorelai lifted a shoulder and said, "I was just thinking about how much better it is than what I imagined."
"Uh, morning sickness and all?" he asked hesitantly.
Lorelai nodded quickly and said, "Yeah. It won't last forever. I can take it, I'm tough," she said with a grin. She ran her finger along his jaw and said, "I can't wait to meet our baby. To find out how much of each of us he or she got. Will our kid eat junk or twigs? Will our kid rant like you or babble like me?" she asked.
Luke smiled and said, "I know, I can't wait either."
Lorelai frowned and asked, "What if it turns out like my mother and me? Nothing in common, and completely unable to communicate," she said worriedly.
"That's not going to happen," Luke told her softly.
"How do you know?" she asked.
He shrugged and said, "I've met Rory." He pressed her head back to his chest again and said, "No matter how alike you two are. No matter how you've tried to mold her, or warp her as the case may be, Rory is still her own person," he pointed out. "She's much more reserved, like your parents. She's cautious and prepared. She a looker, not a leaper." He smiled and said, "You tend to leap. Shoot first, ask questions later."
"I guess so," Lorelai said doubtfully.
"Your kid doesn't have to be a carbon copy of you for you to love him or her," he said softly. "Lord knows, I hope that it won't be just like me," he grumbled.
"Why? Why would you say that?" Lorelai asked as she looked up at him with a frown.
Luke shrugged and said, "I'd just like it if he or she were more like you. Not so cranky, a little more, I don't know, fun than me."
"You're fun," Lorelai said raising herself up to look at him.
"Fun for you to torment," he said with a smile.
"Please," Lorelai said with a laugh. "You are. You're very funny. It's more of a dry, sarcastic humor. You crack me up almost every day," she said sincerely.
"I just hope our kid isn't so serious. Doesn't worry all of the time," he said with a frown.
"Do you worry all of the time?" she asked softly.
Luke smiled and said, "Yeah, pretty much."
"What about? I mean, in general," she said curiously.
"In general? You, Rory, Jess, the businesses, the house, the crazy townspeople rising up like zombies one night, Ebola, whether the Fed should raise interest rates, polar icecaps melting, you name it, I can worry about it," he told her with a laugh.
"Okay, more specifically," she prodded. Luke just sighed and looked up at the ceiling, fixing it with an unfocused gaze. "Babe?" she asked softly.
"You, Rory, Jess, the baby, the businesses, the house," he listed again.
"What do you worry about?" she asked.
"Everything," he answered gruffly.
Lorelai pushed herself up a little higher and said, "Luke, I'm really trying to understand here."
"I know you are," he said with a sigh. He rolled up onto his elbow and said, "I want our kid to have the happiest childhood ever. I want our kid to live in a house with two happy, healthy parents, and a doting big sister." He ran his hand down her arm and said, "I want a counter covered in cooling cookies, not filled with prescription bottles. I don't want our baby to ever worry about taking care of Dad or Mom or wondering who is going to take care of him." He smiled weakly and said, "I want our kid to have the most 'Leave it to Beaver,' 'Brady Bunch' childhood possible."
Lorelai caught the 'him' in his statement, and her breath caught in her throat. "Oh Hon, I totally understand," she said gently. "I used to worry myself sick over what would happen to Rory if something happened to me, but I just couldn't live like that." She laced her fingers through his and said, "You know there are no guarantees. You know that better than anyone. We could do everything right and things…" she trailed off. She searched his eyes and said, "Now I'm afraid that you'll worry so much that you won't let yourself enjoy this."
Luke smiled and said, "Don't worry." He chuckled and said, "I am going to enjoy this. I promise." Lorelai looked at him, her eyes filled with doubt. He kissed her tenderly and said, "I am enjoying it. I will love it. I can't wait to meet our baby," he softly repeated her words back to her.
Lorelai leaned over and nuzzled into his neck, pushing him over onto his back again as she draped her body over his. Luke chuckled and asked, "Sleepy?" Lorelai shook her head and kissed his neck softly, letting her lips linger on his skin. "You're not?" he asked incredulously.
"No, I'm not," she murmured as she moved to his ear and nibbled gently.
"Uh, okay. What are you doing?" he asked with a smile.
"Kissing," she said simply.
"Okay," he said drawing the word out slowly.
Lorelai smiled and traced a heart on his neck with her tongue. "That's okay?" she asked softly.
"More than okay," he answered as he turned his head to allow her better access.
"You don't mind?" she asked teasingly as she nipped her way up to his jaw.
"Not at all," he answered gruffly. "Hey, while you're kissing," he said leadingly.
"Yes?" she asked with a grin.
"I think I bit my lip earlier," he told her casually.
Lorelai lifted her head and said, "Oh, poor lip," as she pressed her finger to his bottom lip.
"Kiss it?" he asked innocently.
"Of course," she whispered as she reached up to brush her lips over his. "Better?" she asked.
"Not quite," he said as he pulled her up to him and kissed her deeply.
When she pulled back she smirked and said, "Surely that did the trick."
"Hard to tell. We may have to take precautionary measures," he said as he rolled her beneath him and pinned her to the bed.
"Mmm," Lorelai hummed, enjoying the feeling of his weight on her. "Let me go," she whispered.
"Not gonna happen," he said with a laugh.
"My hands, let my hands go," she told him.
"Oh, okay," he said releasing her wrists.
She smiled and slid her hands around to his back, running them over the soft, smooth skin covering his muscles. "Your back is so hard," she purred as she caressed him.
Luke smiled wolfishly and said, "It's not the only thing."
"Sex maniac," she teased.
"Hey, you were the one saying that you weren't sleepy and kissing my neck and ear," he pointed out.
"Oh and that means I want sex?" she asked with an arched brow.
"Doesn't it?" he asked pointedly.
Lorelai giggled and said, "Usually."
"But not now?" he asked in a voice tinged with disappointment.
"I didn't say that," Lorelai said as she pressed her hips against him and wiggled, smiling with satisfaction as she felt his growing erection.
Luke nodded and said, "I think you need to be clearer with your intentions."
Lorelai looked up at him and said, "I just want you inside of me. Not so much for the sex, but you know, inside of me."
"I do know," he answered. Lorelai pressed her hips up insistently, and Luke smiled and said, "Well, give me a minute. You need," he started to say.
"You," she finished for him. "I'm ready," she whispered.
Luke frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure," she answered. Luke nodded and shifted so that the tip of his cock nestled against her soft folds. Lorelai reached down to guide him as he pressed into her slowly, giving her time adjust to accommodate him.
When he was finally sheathed in her he looked down and asked, "Okay?"
"Perfect," she whispered. "Now come here," she said tugging at his arms to get him to rest on her.
"Too heavy," he said shaking his head.
"Just for a minute," she whispered. "I want you against me and in me," she said softly.
Luke carefully lowered himself to her, trying to ease some of his weight onto his elbows and he pressed his chest lightly to her breasts. Lorelai smiled and said, "Now kiss me."
"That's my line," Luke grumbled as he lowered his lips to hers. Lorelai wrapped her arms around his neck, and her legs around his hips, holding him tight as he kissed her softly, letting each kiss unfold slowly, and taking them deeper and deeper into one another. Unconsciously, Luke began to move inside of her, stroking her gently with each kiss.
Lorelai moaned into his mouth and began to move against him slowly meeting each thrust. When he moved to kiss her neck and jaw, Lorelai whispered, "So good."
"Always," he agreed.
"Mmm," she purred as she ran her hands over his back and down to his ass, kneading him gently as she pulled him closer still.
Luke smiled as he brushed kisses to her hair, breathing in the scent of her as he focused on the sheer pleasure of her heat enveloping him. He moved a little faster, still using long steady strokes, but pushing her a little further. He closed his eyes as he gave himself over to the sensation of her muscles squeezing him tight, as her arms and legs held him fast. Whispering her name as he nuzzled her neck and pressed wet open mouthed kisses to the tender skin beneath her ear,
After a short time, Lorelai began to squirm beneath him and Luke tried to push himself up away from her. "No," she whispered. "More," she said holding him tightly. She placed her hands on his hips and pushed him away until he almost slipped from her and then released him suddenly, plunging him into her. She repeated the motion over and over until they were both panting and groaning with urgency. "Now," she whispered in his ear. Luke pushed up, breaking her grasp and braced himself on his arms as he drove into her harder. Lorelai smiled triumphantly and whispered, "Yes, yes," as he drove her up.
Luke watched as she frowned in concentration and then her face cleared as she felt her climax approaching. He saw the light that dawned in her eyes just before they clouded with pleasure. She came softly, panting and clutching at his shoulders and back as she rode wave after wave of warmth. He smiled as he gave in to his own satisfaction, pressing into her and holding himself there as he emptied into her with a sigh. He slowly stroked her as she came back down, groaning softly with exhausted happiness. Luke smiled and said, "Now that was good."
"Mmm hmm," Lorelai agreed with a sly grin.
Luke chuckled and said, "We certainly have a thing for making up for lost time."
"Yes," she whispered.
Luke grinned down at her and said, "Now you're sleepy."
"Yeah," she admitted with a laugh.
"Yeah," he said as he slipped from her.
"Oh!" Lorelai said with a pout.
Luke chuckled and asked, "You wanted me to stay there?"
"Yuh huh," she nodded.
"My arms would give out and then I'd crush you both," he said as he rolled onto his back, flinging his arm over his head.
"Fine, I'll crush you instead," Lorelai said as she rolled over to rest on him.
"Much better," he said as he lazily stroked her back. A few minutes later he whispered, "Lorelai?"
"Hmm?" she mumbled half asleep.
"Welcome home," he said with a smile.
Lorelai pressed a sleepy kiss to his chest and whispered, "Nice to be here."
