She didn't need a second to think about it this time.

"Oh, Luke, nothing in this world would make me happier than to become Mrs. Luke Danes. You're the reason I want to wake up everyday. I love you so much"

Luke couldn't stop the big goofy grin that was plastered on his face as he got up and slid the ring on her finger whispering "and I love you" as he wrapped his arms tightly around her and kissed her with everything he had. She eagerly returned the kiss feeling more elated than she ever had in her entire life.

They make their way over to the bed and fell onto it not breaking or lessening the intensity of the kiss. The broke apart only to share a moment of eye gazing before Luke was pulling Lorelai's shirt up and over he head. Luke lost his shirts and cap somewhere in the process and their pants were also lost somewhere between the next few kisses. After his boxers and her new sexy, matching lace bra and underwear set were gone they just held each other tightly for a minute enjoying the boundary-less connection of love, need, and lust flowing between them. They proceeded to have the best night of sex they had ever shared. Each was filled with such a passion, such a desire, to express all their love and deep mutual needs to one another. Every touch was magical, each I love you more meaningful, each time more intense.

She never really got used to the fact that she was always so comfortable around Luke. With the other men in her life, she had always been slightly embarrassed when they were making love. Luke had gone and surprised her. Things always felt so natural between the two of them. She felt so at ease in her own skin when around him, and when she thought about it, she really did know why. Clothes are a protection, and when they are not present anymore she had felt vulnerable, like her defense walls were down at the moment; especially when engaging in such an intense act. She had always held back a tiny part of herself in the past, not completely trusting herself with any man. But when Luke Danes had gotten a hold of her everything else just went out the window. She completely trusted this man and felt safe, even confident, when being intimate with him. It was a good feeling, yet interesting at the same time. It still puzzled her how it happened, but she felt it- completely defenseless yet trusting that he wouldn't hurt her. Though she knew in her heart he never would.

After they were both thoroughly exhausted Lorelai curled up next to Luke and he held onto her tightly. She felt as though all was right in the world because she was safe in his arms. She loved Luke so very much and she knew he loved her but suddenly she was afraid.

"Are you happy?" She asked as she raised her head slightly.

"Of coarse I'm happy, I'm with you. Why?" he replied with a rather confused look on his face.

She looked away and tried to hide the tears that were forming in her eyes.

"I dunno. I..I just want to make sure I guess."

He reached up and turned her face back so that she was looking at him and wiped her tears away.

"Hey, what's all this?" His voice was soft and full of concern.

"I just...I mean I… Just to be sure…"

"Lorelai, just tell me"

He took her hand and gave it a squeeze, giving her strength to get her words out. She took a deep breathe to calm her self and began to explain.

"Luke, I have never loved someone the way that I love you. No one else can make me as happy, or make me melt just be looking me in the eyes. I have never been able to completely trust someone like I trust you. I just love you. I need you in my life more than I ever thought imaginable and that's never happened to me before. I've never felt this way before. I'm just a little scared I guess…that you…that maybe you don't… I just don't want to lose you."

Now Luke was sitting up too and he pulled her onto his lap and into a tight embraced.

"You will never lose me, you hear? NEVER." He stated firmly into her hair because he was still holding her close. "Hey look at me."

She brought her watery eyes up from his shoulder and looked deep into his. She knew she was just being a little paranoid, she could see the love shining brightly in his eyes.

"Lorelai, if you think for one moment I could ever be without you in my life, than you're crazier than I thought you were. You're my reason too" He stated shyly and smiled a little as she gazed into his eyes and smiled back.

She relaxed at his reassurance and settled back down under the blankets with Luke, who was holding her from behind gently stroking her soft skin under her shirt.

"We're getting married" She stated simply mostly excitedly but with a slight trace of disbelief. She was beginning to think that she would never meet someone that makes her feel the way Luke does.

"Yea.Yea we are" he said as he smiled and held her a little tighter.

Lorelai felt like everything was perfect in the world because she was in Luke Danes' arms. No amount of words could describe her love for this man, yet curiosity was playing at her mind.
