CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Luke slowly slipped out of bed and kissed Lorelai softly on the forehead, trying not to wake her. She murmured something he didn't understand and pulled the blanket tightly around her naked body. He gave her one last glance and headed out the door. It was almost five and he had to open the diner. On his way out, he surveyed the living room, and smiled as he remembered the night before. A perfect night of love before the huge storm broke in Stars Hollow. And this time he and Lorelai would be in the center. At least, they were in this together. They had talked last night and had decided to deal with it one day at a time. Luke was prepared for the worst, so maybe the reality wouldn't seem so bad.
He was busy all morning, and surprisingly, it had been very quiet. Babette and Miss Party had come in but other than a couple of looks and some quiet whispers, they had pretty much ignored him. Taylor had come in full of himself as usual. But Luke let it go, saving his energy for what he was sure would come later. But it never did. Lorelai strolled in about ten thirty, noticing the diner was pretty deserted.
"Did you make everyone leave? That's not good for business you know." She kissed him lightly, and smiled sweetly as she grabbed a mug and held it out to him.
Luke filled her cup, and leaned over the counter, and kissed her soundly, slipping her a little tongue.
"Whoa, who are you and what have you done with my boyfriend? He doesn't approve of public displays and would certainly never be a part of one."
"Very funny. Just wanted to show you that the boyfriend is happy to see you. And very appreciative of the way he was treated last night."
"Ummm Last night, I vaguely remember....was that you?"
"That was me...and you....and nirvana all wrapped up in one."
"There was a band there? You'd think I'd remember that." She loved to tease him.
"Never mind. So what can I get for you, miss?"
"Well, kind sir, since I seem to have slept with you and a whole band last night, I think I must have a little of everything. And fast, before I wilt from hunger."
"Not likely that will happen any time soon." Luke turned to give Caesar her order.
"So how's it been this morning? Seems pretty quiet now. Everyone must have been in early to see if 'the smile' was there again."
"Well, the smile was there. But nobody seemed to notice or care. Just wanted coffee and breakfast."
"I can't believe that Babette and Patty haven't been in, ready to gloat."
"Oh, they were here. Didn't say a word."
"Wow. That's strange. I thought the whole town would be buzzing by now."
"Well, it isn't. And as much as I hate to admit it, I almost wish it were There's a sort of 'Twilight Zone' feeling going on here and I don't like it. Crazy town."
"I wonder what is going on? You don't suppose, for once in their lives, that those two have actually not spread the word?"
"Our luck. The one time when it really would have worked to out advantage, they clam up."
"Ah, take it easy. The 'stuff' will hit the fan soon enough and you can rant and rave all you want then. Meanwhile, kiss me again, handsome. Make me some promises that you intend to keep later. Actually, there's no one here and an empty apartment upstairs."
Luke handed her a plate of food and said, "Enjoy."
"Party pooper." She pouted but quickly dug in.
"I thought you were starving."
"I am, but there are other ' hungers', you know."
Luke teased, "So I've heard, pretty often lately."
"Is that a complaint? Because if it is, there are other places I could go you know."
"Yeah, I know."
"Luke..."
"Sorry. Maybe we should take advantage of this slow time to ' talk', upstairs." He winked at her.
"Talk. I like the 'talk'." Lorelai smiled coyly up at him. She put her fork down beside her clean plate and whispered, "Time for dessert." Luke laughed but willingly followed her upstairs.
As soon as he locked the door, he pulled her into his arms. He worked his hands under her shirt, unfastening her bra like an expert. He caressed her breasts gently, then let his hand slide down to her waist and unsnapped her jeans. She smiled as he unzipped her pants and she quickly kicked them away from her body as he pulled off her tee shirt and bra. She unbuttoned his shirt, and unzipped his jeans in what seemed like one swift movement. He lowered her unto his bed, removing her bikinis with his teeth. He planted tiny, wet kisses up her thigh, slowly spread her legs, so that his tongue could tease her lips. She moaned with pleasure. He slowly worked his kisses up her stomach, tickling her as he moved upwards. When he finally reached her breasts he wetly licked them and gently sucked her erect nipples. Her hand reached down to his erection, grasping it firmly and slowly stroking it. Not bringing him to the brink, but teasing him none the less. When they both could stand this little teasing any longer, Luke plunged deeply into her. Making her catch her breath and moan even louder. He thrust slowly and deeply, bringing her to new heights. But he stopped before she got her pay off. Teasing her mercilessly, he continued this pattern. When she could truly take it no longer, she dug her fingers into his back and brought her body up to his. Giving him no choice but to finally fulfill her. They both erupted at the same time, and let their bodies finish the act. Breathless and sweaty, they clung to each other, and soon headed into the shower, slowly washing away all evidence of the afternoon.
Afterwards, they snuggled close, and planned the rest of their day. Luke thought a second date was in order. He thought they should invite Sookie and Jackson along to thank them for the basket. Lorelai agreed and promised to ask her as soon as she got to the Inn. She reluctantly pulled her clothes back on and walked downstairs with him. The diner was full with the lunch crowd, but no one gave then a second look.
Lorelai softly hummed the 'Twilight Zone' theme and Luke laughed as he watched her leave.
And that's how the day continued, no one said a word to Luke at the diner or to Lorelai at the Inn. Except Sookie, of course, who jumped on the invitation immediately. She couldn't wait to have a fun night out with Stars Hollow's newest love match. She couldn't wait to have a night out period. The girls were busy all day and were happy to finally get out of there to get ready for their big night.
Luke picked Lorelai up a little before six. He admired her little black dress and showed his approval of the way she filled it. She shoved him out the door before he could 'admire' her any longer. The two couples were soon on their way, glad to get away from the odd little place they called home. As they drove, the main topic of conversation was about the lack of the good old gossip mill in Stars Hollow. Sookie couldn't explain it either. She knew everyone in town knew the secret. They just weren't talking about it, at least not around the four of them.
Luke had made reservations at a nice little place along the river. He had heard it was quiet and romantic, the perfect place for the two couples to enjoy a quiet night. They were seated at a table in a quiet corner and soon served their drinks. Luke and Lorelai thanked the couple again for the basket, sharing the dilemma of the night before. Lorelai gave a little extra thank you to Sookie for the whipped cream. She shared that it had come in handy for their little 'extra' dessert last night. Sookie giggled, and Luke turned about four shades of red. He welcomed the arrival of the salads and the stop to that conversation. Lorelai kept her hand on his leg most of the evening, letting it wander a bit. He grabbed it a couple of times but most of the time he enjoyed the little intimacy. They had coffee after dinner, and Luke felt her squeeze his leg. He looked at her and she motioned for him to look at the dance floor. He looked over to see Nicole dancing with a very handsome man.
About the same time, Jackson said, "Hey, Luke, isn't that your wife, Nicole?"
Sookie kicked Jackson under the table but it was too late. Nicole had heard her name and was trying to find the source. It didn't take long for her to notice their table. She brought her date over and quick introductions were made, Nicole neglecting to identify Luke as her husband.
"Boy, that was weird." Lorelai whispered as the couple went back to the dance floor. "She acted like you were just a casual friend."
"It beats the alternative -- 'I'd like you to meet my husband and his girlfriend'. So it's fine with me. I'm glad she's over it and dating again. Takes the pressure off me being the bad guy." Luke stood up and pulled Lorelai on the dance floor. Sookie and Jackson watched the pair and smiled. They had to see it to believe it. Luke really could dance and he looked like he was actually enjoying it.
Luke held her tightly as they danced. He was strangely quiet. "All you all right, Luke?"
"Yeah, it's just a little strange."
"Strange....how?..........jealous strange?"
"No, nothing like that. I liked Nicole a lot. We had some great times. But I never really loved her, not like a man should feel about his wife.. This situation is strange. She's here with him, and I'm with you. She's still my wife. Wouldn't you feel weird if Jason was over there dancing with some woman?"
"I don' t think so. We just dated a little....."
"You slept with him. There must have been something there."
"You married her. There must have been something there, too."
"I married her because the woman I was really hung up on told me to go and have fun with another woman. Killing my last hope."
"I watched you and her together for months. You brought her to my Inn and did God knows what with her." The conversation was starting to get heated.
"You invited us."
"You could have said no."
"I did."
"But you came anyway. I saw you on the bed, her in her robe -her hand on your leg. You couldn't wait for me to leave."
"And when you left, nothing happened. All I could think of was you."
"Yeah..... well...... really?"
"You're always first with me. You always have been."
"After Rachel."
"No, not even after Rachel. Rachel figured that out pretty fast. She left because she felt she had been replaced."
"I didn't know. You never told me."
"You had Max."
"I guess I did. But we all know how that turned out."
Luke smiled down at her, "Fairly well, I think."
"Yeah, I think you're right." She nuzzled his neck and whispered something in his ear. When the song ended, he pulled her off the dance floor and soon the four were on there way home. Lorelai casually rested her hand on his leg, letting it move ever so gently across his crotch. He slapped it away several times and she whispered "kill joy". After they dropped Sookie and Jackson off, Luke teased her about her jealousy.
"You know, I think that fight thing was going pretty well. I thought for sure I'd be sleeping alone tonight, in my little bed above the diner."
"Believe me, that was my thought exactly. Until you turned the tables on me......"
"And that little thing you whispered in my ear.....you're really going to do that?"
Lorelai laughed, "Oh, yeah. As soon as we get home."
"Well, look at this. Here we are, the Gilmore estate."
Lorelai and Luke were both laughing as they entered her house. Tonight her clothing trail was matched by his. Naked and aroused, they fell into bed and devoured each other hungrily -- Lorelai keeping her whispered promise -- Luke loving it, both times. Luke sighed with exhaustion and teased that she would be the death of him. Before they fell asleep, they both agreed that make up sex was definitely the best.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
More descriptive sex, huh? Well, I don't want to offend anyone. And as for Lorelai's promise to Luke. Well, that's for you to imagine. What would Luke like Lorelai to do to him????
Luke slowly slipped out of bed and kissed Lorelai softly on the forehead, trying not to wake her. She murmured something he didn't understand and pulled the blanket tightly around her naked body.
