His Only Way Out: Part Nine

**

Lorelai felt a little silly; like she had just picked up the phone and answered 'hello' sweetly after or while yelling at someone. But the warm comforting feeling was staring to take over again as Luke slowly ran his hands up her back. It was starting to drive her nuts. It was the most calming sensation she had ever felt. His hands were surprisingly soft and gentle. Even though he was already touching her, she couldn't help but wait until there was nothing separating his exploration. Lorelai massaged his neck gently, her cool fingers moved freely against his warm skin as she pressed herself tighter against his body.

Luke wasn't sure what was going to happen. They didn't really come to a conclusion. Maybe it was just an unspoken conclusion and he was just a little slow. But still he wasn't sure.

"Lorelai?"

"Yeah?" She didn't move.

Luke paused before saying anything; he didn't want to start something again with his question. "Do you want it?"

She pulled her head back to look at him and ran her hands down the side of his neck before resting them on his shoulders. "Yes, I do." She smiled slowly. Then asked seriously, "Do you want it?"

He smiled slightly and placed his hands on her hips. "I don't think there is anything I want more." He said it, and his voice was thick with emotion, he wished it didn't come out like that, although during the past hour many things came out he wasn't expecting to.

She smiled widely, "Aww." Luke knew that he was half being mocked. "The sweet Luke is out."

He rolled his eyes, "Shut-up."

Lorelai laughed quietly and looked down between them before looking back up. Her face was no longer despondent, Luke noticed, it had a glow that was indescribable.

She broke out into a smile and let out a breath. "So, we both want it." Luke smiled and nodded slowly.

It was at that moment everything Luke wanted to keep reserved about himself flew out the window. She was going to find out who he really was and Lorelai had that same feeling as well.

Lorelai loathed anticipation, but this was a new kind that she couldn't get enough of. Everything inside of her had that new feeling; she had never felt that before with anyone.

Luke felt like exploding, he was standing with his hands on her hips, looking into her eyes, and knowing that he had her. Finally.

She brought her hands around to his face and stroked the side of his cheek. The soft content smile was still present on her face as she leaned up and parted her lips. It seemed like an eternity, but she finally made it there. The first connection was the most exciting; it showed the departure of the end of their platonic friendship. Their mouths opened against each other sending mutual waves of desire through their bodies.

Soon, Luke's hand slipped itself underneath her top and onto the soft skin of her flat stomach. The top half of her body shuddered and sent a tingling sensation through the rest of her. Lorelai moaned softly and pulled back from the kiss that was overwhelming with infatuation. Her mind was moving so fast and so was her breathing. Luke got closer to her and she closed her eyes as her brought his hands to the bottom of her shirt. She opened her eyes and saw his staring directly into hers. He removed her shirt slowly, running his hands up her sides as he did so. He flung it behind him and she stepped towards him pulling his shirt up and over his head.  

Lorelai's skin shone in the light coming from the window. Her form slowly grew darker as she pushed Luke gradually to the foot of the bed. He sat down and she immediately straddled his thighs. They kissed hard and long. Luke was going crazy, her closeness and her smell were taking their toll on him. He moved his hands up behind her and traced her bra strap with his prying fingers. Lorelai rocked her hips against his growing arousal and with that Luke released the clasp on her bra. A surge of excitement ran through her has she pulled back and she was exposed. She looked up at him shyly and dropped her bra on the floor. He said nothing, but actions speak louder than words. He pulled her back and ran his hands along her back with that same gentle motion he used before. He pressed her body tight against him. Their chests met and Lorelai moaned loudly before pressing her lips against his as the heat in the room escalated. Luke's hands were breathtaking, literally. They were large and covered her in all the right places, the small of her back, her breast, the back of her thigh, everywhere.

Luke turned her over onto her back and moved his fingers to the button on her jeans. He slipped it open and Lorelai wriggled her hips slightly to help him remove them completely. She was hot all over and was silently begging to be touched again. Luke ran his hands over her legs, inching them slower upwards as he came to her inner thighs. He did this deliberately and kept an eye on her face. Lorelai knew what he was doing, but wasn't amused with his purposeful hesitation.

"Luuuke!" She whined. He wasn't going to let her take charge of him. He held out on her, running a finger along the crease of her thigh. Her breathing was heavy as he ran his hand up along her hip and across the top of her underwear. Lorelai was getting frustrated in more ways than one. She pulled him up towards her kissed him passionately, darting her tongue into his mouth. Luke kissed her back just as eagerly.

After several moments of exploring each other's bodies, Lorelai tugged on his belt, pulling it quickly from the loops as the need between her legs was becoming too intense to handle. Luke helped her remove his jeans. Luke stood beside the bed and Lorelai kneeled on the edge of it facing him. She pushed them down and ran one of her hands softly over the front of his boxers trying to tease him. Luke's breathing grew heavy and he picked her up, standing her on the bed. He started at her ankles moving his hands upwards to her thighs and further, tracing her hipbones continuing up her stomach, slowly, it was sensual. Lorelai looked up to the ceiling and tried to gain some control over the stimulation. His hands reached her breasts and she gasped softly as he rubbed her gently. Her voice was deep as she moaned his name. Luke loved the way she said that. So full of desire and meaning.

He picked her up gently and placed her feet on the floor. Lorelai roamed his back with her hands as he kissed her neck. She moved her head back to give him easier access and he ran his hands all the way to the top of her panties slipping them inside and sliding them down her legs. He stepped back to admire the first hand image he had of her before his eyes. She stood there watching his eyes trace every part of her body. She looked down and to the side, shyly.

He took her chin in his hand and lifted her head back up. A small smile was present on her face. He smiled back, "You are-" he took a breath before continuing, "You're beautiful."

She smiled again and said in almost a whisper, "Com'on." She took she held onto one of his hands and led him back to the bed. She moved onto it and Luke followed after removing his boxers. Lorelai gave him an impressed look and motioned him forward with her finger. He crawled on top of her and pushed a strand of hair from her face before kissing her freely and with passion. She could feel him against her body and she silently pleaded to be entered. She wanted him. Bad. He put more pressure against her body and she moaned with pleasure.

Luke took this as a sign and entered her without warning. She gasped loudly at his movement and he remained still, letting them both get used to the sensation. Lorelai threw her hands above her head and moaned loudly as he plunged into her deeper. Luke kept a watch on her face at all times between his heavy panting. He pinned her wrists above her head and supported himself with his arm. She pulled him down and kissed him wetly, their tongues gently sliding over each other, while his other hand ran up and down her side. Lorelai pulled back and tried to catch her breath. Soon, the brink was upon her and she screamed out. Luke released himself and collapsed onto of her, breathing heavily. The cool air coming from the small gap at the bottom of the window hit their flustered skin and cooled them off.

Luke rolled off her and opened his eyes slowly, looking over at her. Her eyes were still closed and her arms still above her head. Her chest was moving up and down quickly with her breathing. A few seconds later her eyes opened slowly and she looked over at him. He noticed they were dark and full of desire. She picked herself up and kissed his mouth hard before collapsing partly on top of him. He brought a hand up and stroked her back softly.

She wanted to stay with him like this forever. So did he. He could speak to her like no one else could, and with so little words. Nothing in the world could change this moment they shared. Nothing in the world.

The room was cool as the rain began to fall. The summer rain. Luke got up and shut the window. He stood next to the bed. Lorelai was sound asleep, on her side, under the white top-sheet that moved along with her breathing. She had a content look on her face and it warmed him to see her like that, and to know that he was the reason for it. He slipped under the cover and stroked her arm softly before whispering the eternal words in her ear, "I love you."
