The Great Outdoors

. . . . .

. . . . .

Lorelai walked down the stairs to the living room where Luke was waiting for her on the couch. She dropped her tote bag on the coffee table, then glanced around the room. "Where did I put my phone?"

"I don't know, but have I mentioned that I'm sick of Taylor making up these new town events just to suck some more money out of us?"

They were heading to a barbecue down by the lake, an event Taylor had thrown together to raise money for the Town Beautification Committee.

"Yeah, I think you did mention it a few times," Lorelai replied as she walked over to the desk. She looked around for her phone, and then glanced back at him. "You don't have to go, you know... I'm not forcing you."

"Yeah, I know."

"I mean, if you'd rather spend Sunday evening at home watching some guys on TV throw a baseball around instead of going out with your insanely hot girlfriend who lets you round all the bases quite regularly, that's totally your call," she continued. "Don't let me influence you."

Luke smirked and stood up from the couch. "You ready?"

"Oh, good, I see you came to your own uninfluenced decision about what to do tonight," Lorelai said, and then started walking toward the kitchen. "Now, help me re-trace my steps so I can find my phone."

"Wherever it is, it's probably dead anyway."

"Not a helpful statement," Lorelai called in a singsong voice. After a few moments, she said, "Aha, found it next to the microwave!"

"Of course, right where it should be," Luke muttered.

"I heard that," she said as she returned to the living room. She grabbed her tote bag from the coffee table. "Okay, let's go."

. . . . .

. . . . .

Down by the lake, there were food booths to visit and games to play, and a lot of people were swimming in the water. There was a stage set up where a band was playing, and they were taking song requests throughout the event. Later in the evening, as people were winding down from swimming and other activities, they started to gather on the grass in front of the stage on blankets and in lawn chairs to listen to the music and sing along.

Luke and Lorelai sat on a blanket at the very back of the crowd. She pulled a towel from her bag and covered her legs to keep warm from the cool night air.

"I hate being on the ground," Luke said. "We should've brought chairs."

"The ground is fine, it's cozier," Lorelai said. She adjusted the towel so it was covering his legs as well. "There, now you can just pretend we're at home in bed."

"You know, the alternative is that we could just go home and actually get into bed." He ran his hand over her visibly cold arm. "You wouldn't have goosebumps at home."

Lorelai turned to him with a sly smile. "I have a feeling I would, just not from the cold."

Luke smiled as he took off his flannel shirt and draped it over her shoulders. "Here."

"Thank you." She slipped her arms into the sleeves and rolled up the cuffs for a better fit. She rested her hand on his knee and leaned in to kiss him.

When she moved her hand up to his thigh and squeezed it gently, Luke pulled back from the kiss. "Stop," he warned her. She had a history of trying to entice him into being naughty when they were out in public or at town events.

"Stop what?" she asked innocently.

"You're trying to start something here," Luke said knowingly. "And it's not happening, so get it out of your head."

"But we're completely in the dark, no one can see us," she pointed out, and then gestured in front of them. "Look, I can barely see the people sitting in front of us. It feels like we're all alone out here."

"So, then, I must make the point again, why don't we just go back to your place and actually be alone?"

Lorelai leaned in closer to him and whispered, "Because part of the excitement is that there are people around us, even though we can't see them. Doesn't that turn you on a little?"

"It makes me nervous."

"But also turned on?" she pressed. "Come on, admit it." She kissed him softly and added, "Let's do something bad, Luke... it's the perfect setting."

Luke put his hand on her back as he kissed her again. When he pulled his lips from hers, he exhaled a small sigh and glanced around at their surroundings. They were at the back of the crowd, so no one was behind them, and the people in front of them were not close. He was now wondering if that was strategic placement on her part... if she'd been planning this all along.

It was dark outside and the lighting at the back of the crowd was limited... it was brighter closer to the stage where some lights were set up. People were spread out in small groups, distracted amongst themselves as they chatted or watched the band. Some were standing, some were sitting in chairs or on blankets, a few were even dancing up front by the stage.

All in all, he had to admit, the setting was actually pretty conducive to inappropriate behavior without causing him too much stress. He decided that it might be time to finally give in to her repeated requests for some outdoor antics.

He brought his gaze back to her, and she was looking at him expectantly, waiting to see what his decision was. When he casually slipped his hand beneath the towel over her legs, Lorelai smiled triumphantly. "You have finally succumbed to my bad influence."

"Temporarily."

He found the hem of her skirt and started pulling it up her thigh. She leaned forward for a moment to give him access to the back hem, and he bunched the skirt up around her waist to get it out of his way. She moved her tote bag in front of her for an extra level of protection from any eyes that may glance their way.

He moved his fingertips in gentle circles against the soft, smooth skin of her thigh. "Did you pick this spot for us to sit on purpose?" he asked. "Did you have some sort of seduction plan in your head all night?"

Lorelai smiled slyly. "Not all night, just when I realized how dark it was out here."

Luke shook his head amusedly. "I don't know what I'm gonna do with you."

Lorelai leaned in to kiss him. "Au contraire, my friend... I think you know exactly what you're gonna do with me."

Luke smirked and his hand moved up her thigh until it reached the silky fabric of her underwear. His finger traced down the center of it, pressing it slightly between her folds, and Lorelai huffed out a small gasp.

"Shhh," he whispered. His finger moved up and down her slit a few times, and he could feel the dampness of the fabric. "You're so wet already," he said incredulously. "This outdoor stuff turns you on that much?"

Lorelai met his gaze with a smile. "No, you do. I'd be just as wet if we were at home in the bedroom, you know that."

Luke nodded in agreement. "True." He leaned in close to her ear and rasped, "I love that you get so wet for me... you're always ready for me." He pushed her underwear to the side and ran his finger directly along her folds. "You ready for me right now?"

Lorelai's head fell forward with a soft groan as arousal surged through her. "Oh, God." And then she quickly nodded in response to the question. "Yes."

As he slipped the tip of his finger into her and traced it along the inside of her lips, Lorelai inhaled a deep breath and exhaled it slowly to try to calm herself down. Her heart was racing, her body was starting to quiver with excitement.

"What do you think, first a little of this?" Luke traced his finger along her opening for a few seconds, and then he slid his finger deep into her wetness. "And then maybe I should do a little of this?" he asked as he pumped his finger into her a few times.

Lorelai whimpered with pleasure before quickly covering her mouth with her hand to stifle her noises.

He pulled his finger out of her and moved it up to her clit, and began circling around it. "Or maybe I should just do this..."

Lorelai closed her eyes and leaned her head back, huffing out shallow breaths as she waited anxiously for his finger to give some attention to her throbbing clit. He was going deliberately slowly as he traced around it, teasing her, making her beg for more contact. "Luke, please," she whispered desperately.

"Souvenirs! Last call for souvenirs!" a voice announced nearby, startling them both and making them jump.

"Jesus Christ," Luke muttered as he quickly pulled his hand away from her. They looked up to see Kirk walking through the crowd with a cart of merchandise.

"I've got glowsticks, I've got beach balls, I've got Frisbees," Kirk announced as he approached them.

Luke and Lorelai pretended to watch the band until Kirk had walked past them, circled behind them, and then started walking back up toward the front of the crowd.

When he was gone, they glanced at each other. "Pretty sure I just had a heart attack," Luke told her, clutching his chest with his hand.

Lorelai smiled. "It's all part of the fun of being naughty in public."

Luke rolled his eyes a little. "Oh, yeah, it's a blast."

Lorelai scooched a little closer to him and purred into his ear, "Now, where were we?"

Luke exhaled a sigh and shook his head a little. "Lorelai, let's just get out of here and finish this at your house."

Lorelai pouted at him. "Come on, Luke... we already started, we can't turn back now." She pressed a kiss to his cheek as she placed her hand on the bulge in his pants. "And it looks like I'm not the only one turned on right now, hm? I know you like this just as much as I do."

She squeezed his hardness through his pants, and Luke inhaled sharply. He couldn't deny how arousing the situation was, even if he did have reservations about it. Of course he wanted to keep going.

"Come on, please." Lorelai pressed her lips against his and kissed him deeply, pulling back to whisper, "Think about how hot it'll be to make me come in front of all these people." She kissed him again, and when he returned it eagerly and enthusiastically, Lorelai knew he was on board with continuing.

When she pulled back from the kiss, she offered, "Here, I'll make it easier for you." She patted his leg. "Spread 'em."

Luke narrowed his eyes. "What are you doing?"

She pushed his legs apart and maneuvered her body so she was sitting between them with her back to him. She adjusted the towel over their legs for better coverage, and then leaned her head back against his chest. "See, it just looks like we're relaxing and staying warm as we watch the band play," she said. "Put your hand back."

Luke slipped his hand beneath the towel and moved it to the front of her body. He slid it down the front of her underwear as he whispered into her ear, "You want me to make you come in front of all these people, huh? That's what you want?"

Lorelai groaned softly and quickly nodded her head. "Mmhmm."

He began to caress her folds, lightly dragging the tips of his fingers against them. He rubbed a few gentle circles against her clit, and then dipped his finger into her wetness. He withdrew it and pushed it back in a little deeper, then withdrew it again and added a second finger. The surprised moan that slipped past her lips made his cock twitch with arousal.

Luke softly kissed her cheek. "Every sexy noise you make drives me crazy," he whispered. "But try not to make any."

"Easier said than done," she murmured.

His hand fell into a pattern as he quietly worked on sending her over the edge... he pumped a finger, or sometimes two, into her a few times, then caressed her lips for a bit, then rubbed her clit, then pumped again. This rhythm continued for a few minutes as she tried to keep quiet and not draw attention their way.

This was not how he'd envisioned the night going, his hand secretly buried between her legs while they sat at an outdoor town event. It was an insane scenario, but it was also exciting and arousing, and his hard cock was straining against his pants begging to be released.

As her arousal grew and her orgasm approached, Lorelai began rocking against his hand, huffing out quiet gasps of pleasure as his fingers worked their magic. He watched her struggling to maintain her composure as she got closer and closer to her climax.

He finally broke his pattern and focused solely on rubbing her clit, and it was only a matter of seconds before she moaned, "Oh, God, Luke... I'm coming." Her eyes fell closed and her body trembled around his hand as her climax began to wash over her.

As little whimpers started to escape her throat, Luke softly rubbed her back and whispered, "Shhh." Lorelai covered her mouth with her hand and her head fell back against his chest as she rode out the waves of pleasure.

When her body had stopped writhing against him, Luke pulled his hand from between her legs. She glanced back at him, panting to catch her breath. "Good Lord," she murmured. "I think we have a new town event tradition."

Luke smirked and shook his head. "We one hundred percent do not."

"Now I know why they call it the great outdoors."

Applause suddenly broke out in front of them, and they both jerked their heads to look toward the stage. They'd been oblivious to the fact that the band had stopped playing, Taylor had gone up to make some closing announcements, and people were now getting up to leave.

Luke patted her back, urging, "Up... let's go." They both stood up, and she quickly smoothed out her skirt. He grabbed the towel, the blanket, and her bag, then took her hand and started leading her away from the lake area.

She narrowed her eyes with confusion when she realized they were heading toward the woods and not toward the town square to head home. "Where are we going?" she asked.

Luke glanced back at her, and even in the darkness, she saw the hungry look of desire in his eyes. "We're not done yet."

Lorelai gasped excitedly. "Really? More?"

He led her into the woods, far enough to ensure a safe distance from the lake and the people and any interruptions. He dropped their things next to a wide tree, then positioned her with her back against the trunk.

Lorelai watched, both surprised and amused, as he hiked up her skirt around her waist and pulled her underwear down her legs. "Okay, someone's suddenly a huge fan of outdoor naughtiness despite fighting me on it for years," she said.

Luke began to undo his pants. "No, someone is just really turned on right now and this was the quickest way to take care of that."

Lorelai smirked and ran her hands over his shoulders. "So, you dragging me through the woods to do me up against a tree instead of taking me to a bed is based on your desperate need to be inside me and is not because you're tapping into your rustic sexual side?"

"Yeah, so don't get used to the tree sex," he said as he pushed down his pants and boxers.

Lorelai smiled. "Too late."

Luke took her wrists in his hands and brought them up over her head. With one hand, he pinned both of her wrists against the tree, and his other hand slipped up the front of her shirt. Lorelai moaned with pleasure as his hand slid under her bra and cupped her breast. Her body was still recovering from her last climax and was already revving up again.

He leaned in to kiss her and their tongues tangled passionately as he squeezed her breasts and caressed her nipples. They parted briefly for oxygen, and then resumed kissing as his hand continued on her chest. When their lips separated again, he released her wrists from his hold, gripped his cock in his hand, and brought it to her opening.

As he rubbed the tip against her slit, Lorelai groaned softly and leaned her head back against the tree. "Oh, God." He moved it up and down slowly, and she nibbled on her bottom lip, anxiously waiting for him to push into her.

Luke suddenly became still for a few seconds before exhaling a soft sigh. "We should not be doing this here."

Lorelai was surprised by the abrupt shift from yes to no, but tried to hide her disappointment. She didn't want to coerce him if he felt uncomfortable... this was a bigger deal than being handsy under a towel. "Oh, uh... okay. Well... we can finish at your place," she suggested. "Or mine... wherever."

"Oh, no, we're gonna do it here," he assured her with a smirk. "I'm just saying... we shouldn't be."

Lorelai's lips curved into a relieved smile. "Oh, okay... you're just putting it on record that you do in fact know that this is wrong, got it," she said, and then gestured to his hardness still pressed against her. "So, then... shall we?"

Luke took a moment to look around and ensure that he didn't see anyone or hear any noise, and when he was satisfied they were alone, he brought his gaze back to her. There was a look of excitement and longing in her bright blue eyes, and he stared into them as he slid his length into her.

Lorelai let out a long, satisfied moan as he filled her. Her body was quivering as she lifted her leg and wrapped it around his hip. "Oh, God, Luke, yes... fuck me," she lustfully urged.

He did, and he did it hard. Mercilessly plunged his entire length into her with long, deep strokes, and her body was grinding against the tree from the force of his continuous thrusts. Thankfully, she was still wearing his flannel shirt, which was protecting her arms and back from scraping directly against the rough bark.

She would occasionally grab his face with her hands and pull him closer to kiss him. It would momentarily stifle the grunts and groans and heavy breathing that they gave up trying to keep at a low volume. They were both too engrossed in each other and the pleasure coursing through their bodies to worry about how loud they were.

She was in a daze of arousal and her only focus was how amazing it felt as he slammed into her. He was relentless and his pace hadn't slowed down at all since the first thrust. Surprisingly, as he neared his climax, he started going even harder, forcing even louder whimpers and moans from her.

A sexy, husky groan poured from his lips as he released inside of her, then he immediately pulled out and moved his hand down between her legs. He began rubbing her clit as he pressed his mouth to her ear, muttering, "Come for me again, Lorelai... you're so close... I know you're close."

"Mmm, Luke," she moaned against his cheek and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Right there..."

He continued to stroke his finger gently against her clit, and the pleasure soon started to erupt inside of her. She came for the second time in minutes, and Luke slipped his arms around her waist as she settled down from her climax.

Lorelai was completely drained, her entire body felt weak from head to toe. She leaned her head back against the tree trunk with an exhausted but satisfied sigh, and Luke pressed a soft kiss to the hollow of her throat. He kissed up her neck to her lips and they shared a tender kiss.

She was smiling as they separated, and she shook her head in disbelief. "I learned something new about Luke Danes tonight... when he does someone up against a tree, he really does someone up against a tree."

Luke smirked. "If you're gonna do something, you might as well do it right." His smile suddenly faded a bit as concern flashed in his eyes. "You were okay, right? Was it too much?"

Lorelai shook her head. "No, not at all, it was amazing... I was just surprised by how into you were. Pleasantly surprised."

Luke shrugged nonchalantly. "Yeah, I was kind of surprised myself."

Lorelai smiled. "See, it's fun to try new things." She leaned in and kissed him, then glanced around at the darkness around them. "Okay, without the hot tree sex going on, being in the middle of the woods at night is just super creepy."

Luke smiled. "Yeah, it is... let's get out of here."
