You people are hard to please….some want story, some want smut…so on with this 'dirty fairytale" as someone put it. (wink to you N!)

Chapter Nine

The maid answered the door and took their coats. While Luke was helping Lorelai out of her coat Rory walked up looking a little agitated.

"Mom, you are not going to like this but …."

"Lor, hey."

Lorelai looked stunned, "Chris? What are you doing here?"

"Ah, your mom took pity on a lonely bachelor and took him in for Christmas. My parents are stranded in New York because of the snow."

"And GG?"

"Rory and I just put her down for her nap. If we're lucky she'll sleep through dinner."

"Okay then. Hey, you remember Luke right?"

"Sure…the guy who runs the diner."

"Yep, that's his rep."

"Hi Luke, Merry Christmas. Thanks for keeping these two girls going all these years. I know it couldn't have been easy."

"Hello, Christopher. Happy Holidays to you too."

Luke was polite but not overly friendly. All he could think about was why Christopher was here at all. He had all but deserted both girls their whole lives, dropping in once in a while only to leave their lives in turmoil. He knew because he had picked up the pieces many times.

They all walked into the living room where Richard asked for their drink orders.

"You two made it just in time. This is the last call for drinks before dinner."

"Give me a double anything dad."

"A beer will be fine for me sir."

"I pegged you for a beer man Luke. I'll have another scotch Richard." Chris eyed Luke more closely now that he seemed to be with Lorelai.

"I'm fine Grandpa."

They all got their drinks and sat down.

"The tree looks great Richard."

"Well, you know Emily. This is her favorite decorating season."

"Really seems festive this year with all the snow." Rory added trying to break the awkward silence.

Lorelai and Luke sat quietly. Lorelai sighed and Luke reached for her hand, a move not lost on Christopher.

"So I hear you two are an item."

"An item? Sounds like something you'd pick up in a store. Luke and I are well, we're….. ."

Luke piped up, "Lorelai and I are in a committed relationship. Have been for months now."

"Committed relationship? Sounds like what I had with Sherry. And we all know how that turned out."

"Luke and I are nothing like you and Sherry, Christopher."

Just then Emily walked in and greeted everyone warmly.

Lorelai shot Emily a dirty look and Luke again squeezed her hand. "Let it go Lorelai, it's Christmas."

"Don't say I didn't warn you." Lorelai gave him a tense smile.

"What are you two whispering about over there?" Emily smiled warmly at the little group.

"Nothing Mom, just wondering if its time for dinner."

"You just got here. The roads must have been really bad to make you so late. I assume Christopher told you about his parents not being able to make it home."

"Yes he did. It was nice of you to invite him over."

"Well, he has been like part of the family for years. I thought Rory would like to spend the day with her father and her sister."

Rory sat and stared into her drink. She had hoped this would be a fun day for her mom and Luke, sharing their news and maybe getting along with her grandparents.

The maid announced dinner and the group made their way to the dining room. Lorelai made sure that she and Luke were the last to enter.

"I'm sorry. I had no idea she would pull this."

"It's all right Lorelai, really. He shouldn't have to be alone today when his family is here."

"His family is stuck in New York."

"Rory is also part of that family. It will be fine."

"You are a good man, Luke Danes."

Luke pulled out her chair. "Thank you Lorelai Gilmore. Now smile."

Lorelai smiled and decided to make the best of a bad situation. But she was still upset with her mother. She knew that Emily would still rather she end up with Christopher than Luke.

Dinner went extremely well. Richard was oblivious to the under currents and everyone was on their best behavior. After dinner Chris brought GG down and everyone got a kick out of her baby antics. It made the evening go quickly and soon Lorelai was bugging Luke to leave.

Richard overheard. "Nonsense, you two. It's been snowing all day. There must be two feet of snow out there. Rory was already planning to spend the night. Why don't the two of you stay also? Heaven knows we have enough room."

"Oh dad, I don't think so. We really should get back."

"Lorelai, maybe your dad is right. Have you looked out lately? It's almost blizzard conditions out there."

Lorelai rolled her eyes. She knew it was awful outside but she had hoped Luke would still want to attempt it. She just wanted to be away from these people and alone with him. No one had commented on her ring and she and Luke sure didn't want to make some announcement while Christopher was there.

"You're right. Both of the men in my life are right as usual." Lorelai tried to make light of the inevitable.

"Make that the three men in your life."

Lorelai glared at Chris. "Whatever."

Lorelai grabbed Luke's hand, "So Luke, you want to see my old room?"

"I'd like that. 'Night everyone." Luke wrapped his arm around her waist as they ascended the staircase.

"Night you two. See you in the morning. Let me know if you need anything. I laid some things out for you Lorelai and anything else you need should be there." Emily called after them. "Lorelai, Luke can take the room at the end of the hall."

"its okay, Mom. Luke's with me tonight."

Out of earshot Lorelai whispered to Luke, "I'm not surprised that she tried to put you at the other end of the hall."

"Lorelai they have both been nothing but nice the whole evening."

Lorelai opened the door to her old room. "This is it, Lorelai the early years."

Luke looked around and shook his head. "Either you have changed a lot or these people didn't know you at all."

"Ah, my hero, finally someone who feels my pain."

Luke laughed and pulled her close. "So we're sleeping in your old room…the room that you played dolls in….want to play doctor little girl?"

"Under my parents' roof? Just down the hall from them?" Lorelai giggled, "You are on mister."

Lorelai made a quick trip to the bathroom and found a nightgown hanging there. She smiled….Luke will love this.

Luke was standing at the window watching it snow when Lorelai came out of the bathroom. He turned and smiled when he caught sight of her.

"Wow, you look…."

"Virginal…no, more like bridal."

Lorelai twirled for Luke modeling the silky lavender slip. "Sexy huh?"

"Very. Never seen you in anything like that before."

"And you never will again, so enjoy."

"Enjoy slipping it off."

Luke slipped out of his clothes and approached her. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her, letting his hands run down her back and enjoying the feel of the silkiness.

"I kind of like this. Slinky, sexy and so ready to come off." Luke pulled the tiny strap down with just one finger. "Umm….should have gotten you one of these for Christmas."

Lorelai laughed as the slip hit the floor. "Waste of money. And the flannel makes so much more sense."

"Think your mother knows what she started?"

"My mother is having a cow about now."

"Really?" Luke teased as he ran warm kisses down her neck. She could feel his wonderful state of readiness as she kissed him back. She ran her hands down his back and cupped his butt, adding pressure to their touch.

"So you and Chris ever do it in here?"

"Luke!" She pulled away but he quickly pulled her back. "No, he was more a balcony guy."

"Balcony?"

"You really don't want to know."

Luke really didn't. He was concentrating more on the feel of her naked body tight against his and trying to maneuver her down on the bed. She giggled as he gently pushed her down and covered her body with his own. He gently pushed her legs apart and ran his fingers of her wet, warm lips.

"God, I love you."

"I love you too," she muttered as he slid into her throbbing opening. He moved slowly and deeply making her moan with pleasure with every thrust. She nibbled on his shoulder and then gently bit it to keep from screaming from the wonderful things he was doing to her, his hands, his body moving over her and in her. They hit a strong hard stride and continued for an obscene amount of time. They were breathless and hot and sweaty and still going strong when the wonderful waves hit their peak. They were totally lost in each other and in their act of pure passion and lust.

Lorelai felt his warm wonderful gush and all her loved just poured out in words of true affection.

Later as they lay entangled hot and sweaty, catching their breath, Lorelai ran her fingers through his hair.

"Thank you."

"For?"

"Giving me a wonderful moment to remember about this room."

Luke laughed and kissed her on the forehead and then on her nose. They snuggled close, naked bodies wrapped around each other.

We all thought Lorelai needed a good memory of her old room…..that's about as good as it gets!!
