The Window

. . . . .

"Stop," Luke said to Lorelai, trying to sound firm but unable to hide the amused look on his face.

"Stop what?" she asked innocently.

"What do I tell you every time we're out in public and you start getting ideas of how to pass the time?" Luke asked.

"You tell me not to suggest preposterous situations that you would never in a million years partake in," Lorelai replied.

"And what did you just do?"

"I suggested a preposterous situation that I was pretty sure I could talk you into by using my seductive methods of persuasion," Lorelai said, and then batted her eyelashes at him before she paused, thought for a moment, and added, "Or persuasive methods of seduction, whatever the correct term is."

Luke smirked as he shook his head. "You were wrong."

"Was I, though?" she asked him. "Because I think you're intrigued by the idea and are secretly considering it."

"Secretly considering being arrested and charged with public indecency? No, I'm not."

"We'll only get arrested if we get caught," she pointed out.

"Not to mention, your parents would completely disown you."

Lorelai shrugged. "Was bound to happen eventually anyway."

"Let's just keep dancing, okay?"

They were at a charity event that Lorelai's parents had invited them to in a hotel ballroom filled with some of Hartford's elite. They were out on the dance floor, which is where they had been spending most of their time that evening. They had discovered that dancing was the easiest way for them to have some privacy and avoid extensive mingling with other guests.

Lorelai had just suggested that they sneak out to the bathroom for some naughtiness, an idea Luke quickly dismissed. But as they danced a little more, he was thinking about it, and decided that while sex in the bathroom was out of the question, maybe playing a flirty game with her could be fun.

Luke leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "I have a task for you."

Lorelai smiled as she hummed with intrigue. "Hm, do tell."

He hesitated for a moment and his breath was warm against her ear. Finally, he whispered, "I think you should go into the bathroom and take off your underwear."

Lorelai's eyes widened and she pulled back to look at him, unsure if he was serious. "Really? Are you just joking around or are you really daring me?"

"It's not a dare, it's a suggestion," he said.

Lorelai's lips curved into a smile, but her eyes narrowed confusedly. "You really want me to do that? You, who just shot down my bathroom suggestion?"

Luke rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on. You suggested a level 10 on the extreme scale, I'm suggesting a level 2. We can have a little fun out in public without going overboard."

Lorelai's smile widened. "Wow, Lucas, you surprise me sometimes."

Luke smiled. "Do you accept the task?"

Lorelai nodded and playfully saluted him. "Yes, sir."

He glanced around at the other couples on the dance floor around them, and then brought his gaze back to her. "When this song's over, I'm gonna go to the bar to get us some drinks, and you can go to the bathroom. Okay?"

Tingles of arousal were starting to rush through her body, and she nodded in agreement. "Okay."

"Another vodka tonic?"

"Yes, please."

When the song ended, he headed toward the bar and Lorelai walked over to their table where Emily and Richard were chatting with some friends. As Lorelai reached for her purse, Emily excused herself from the conversation she was in and quickly walked around the table to Lorelai.

"Where are you going?" Emily asked. "You're not leaving already, are you? They haven't even served dessert yet, and you said you'd stay through dessert."

"Just heading to the bathroom, Mom," Lorelai replied.

"Oh, good, I'll go with you," Emily said. "I need to freshen up my lipstick."

Lorelai turned away from her, cringing slightly at the thought of her mother unknowingly accompanying her on her inappropriate mission. "Okay," Lorelai finally replied.

Emily grabbed her purse and they headed across the room to the exit, and down the hallway toward the bathrooms.

"It's a lovely event, isn't it?" Emily asked.

"Very nice," Lorelai said, nodding in agreement. "Good food, good music."

"Yes, I didn't realize you and Luke liked dancing so much."

"Yeah, sometimes we just get hit by that dancing fever," Lorelai replied.

"That's nice," Emily said. "Hopefully your father will stop talking shop long enough for me to get him out there for another song or two."

"I'm sure he will," Lorelai assured her.

They reached the bathroom, and Emily walked over to the vanity area while Lorelai walked down to the last stall. When she emerged, she washed her hands, touched up her own lipstick, and she and Emily returned to the ballroom.

"I'm gonna go find Luke," Lorelai said, gesturing toward the bar area. "I think he's over there somewhere."

"All right. Come sit down soon for dessert," Emily replied, continuing on toward their table.

Lorelai made her way through the crowded room, walking along the edge of the dance floor until she reached him. He was standing near the bar, holding his beer in one hand and her drink in the other.

"Thank you," she replied as she took the drink from him. She took a sip, eyeing him over the top of the glass as he smiled at her. As she pulled the drink from her lips, she smiled and said, "Stop looking at me like that or everyone here will know we're being mischeivous."

"Oh, sorry." He glanced around subtly before he asked, "Did you do it?"

"Of course I did," she confirmed. "You want proof?"

Luke gave her a quick nod. "Mmhmm."

Lorelai handed him her drink to hold, then reached for her purse tucked under her arm. She glanced around, making sure no one was in the immediate vicinity, and then she unclasped her purse and opened it. She held it toward him and he casually glanced inside.

His cock twitched the moment he saw her white lacy panties balled up inside, and he quickly pulled his head back. He glanced around uncomfortably, as if everyone around him knew exactly what was in her purse.

Lorelai closed the purse, tucked it back under her arm, and took her drink back from him. "See? I'm a good listener."

"Not usually," he disagreed.

Lorelai smiled. "Well, I'm a good listener when it comes to clothing removal."

And that's when it hit him that he now had to spend the tail-end of this fancy party trying not to think about Lorelai being completely bare under her dress. His gaze subconsciously drifted down toward said bareness, and he thought about how she was probably turned on right now. She was probably already wet and ready for him, and he couldn't do anything about it.

He exhaled a sigh and shook his head. "Bad idea," he muttered. "That was a bad idea."

Lorelai was in mid-sip of her drink, and she quickly swallowed down her mouthful of liquid. "What was?"

"Asking you to do that," he said, gesturing toward her purse. "Because now you're standing there all... you know, and now I'm getting... you know." He swallowed hard before taking a long sip of his beer, then shook his head and repeated, "Bad idea."

Lorelai moved closer to him and lowered her voice. "That's part of the fun, Luke. We're in the early stage of foreplay."

"Yeah, but this isn't really the place for that," Luke pointed out. "And I knew that, and I still suggested it. I don't know what came over me."

"Well, I'm looking very hot tonight," she said matter-of-factly. "And being blinded by someone's hotness can make you do things you wouldn't normally do. I have that same problem with your hotness sometimes, like when I find myself watching ESPN with you." She smiled as she leaned in and kissed his cheek. "It'll be fine, the night's almost over."

When they saw that dessert and coffee were being served, they walked back to their table and sat down. Emily was deep in what appeared to be a gossipy conversation with two of her friends, while Richard and their husbands were deep in their own separate conversation.

Lorelai ate a forkful of cake, and then turned to Luke as she gently ran her tongue over her upper lip to clear away any residual frosting.

Luke exhaled a sigh before softly muttering, "It's gonna be a long drive home."

Lorelai thought for a moment. "You know, it doesn't have to be."

"We're not doing anything in the bathroom," he reminded her.

"Not the bathroom, I was talking about - "

"Or in the car," he interjected.

"Not that either," she replied, and then leaned in closer before whispering, "We're in a hotel... we could just get a room with an actual bed."

Luke rolled his eyes. "At this place? It's probably like two hundred bucks a night."

Lorelai raised an eyebrow and cocked her head to the side. "And you're saying I'm not worth that? The level of pleasure we achieve isn't worth two hundred bucks?" Lorelai scoffed, pretending to be offended. "Because that seems like a damn good deal to me. Hmph."

"You know what I meant... two hundred dollars for a room that we're not even going to spend the night in is a waste of money, and you know it."

"Well, you're not leaving us with many options," Lorelai pointed out. "No bathroom, no car, no hotel room... it's almost as if you want us to be the type of adults who actually wait until they get home to have sex."

Luke's eyes widened as he hissed, "Lorelai!" They had been speaking quietly but he quickly glanced around the table to make sure no one heard her. He was relieved to see that everyone was still engaged in their conversations. He brought his gaze back to Lorelai and said, "Be careful, please."

"Sorry. Let's talk about something else," Lorelai suggested. "Oh, I know, let's be nostalgic."

"Nostalgic," he repeated.

"Yeah. Like, remember that time we went to that creepy restaurant?"

Luke narrowed his eyes with confusion. "What creepy restaurant?"

Lorelai sighed. "Come on, you remember... that one where the bathroom was in the basement."

Luke thought for a moment and then shook his head. "Nope. No recollection."

"Luke, come on, you remember," she insisted. "We went down to the basement and then crawled through a hole in the fireplace to begin an exciting, thrilling adventure that culminated in us discovering a pirate ship filled with treasure." She shook her head disappointedly. "I can't believe you forgot about that."

Luke exhaled a sigh. "Geez. A movie, really?"

Lorelai grinned. "Distracted you for a minute, though, right?"

Luke nodded toward her plate. "Let's just eat fast so we can get out of here."

They finished dessert and said their goodbyes to Emily and Richard before heading out. Before they had even gotten out of the parking lot, Lorelai pulled her underwear out of her purse and quietly hung them on the rear view mirror.

Luke glanced over at her with a smirk. "What are you doing?"

"Just decorating the truck. I thought we could talk about how I carried them around in my purse at a party with my parents and all of their friends," Lorelai said, smiling at him before shaking her head in disbelief. "That really happened."

Luke snorted a laugh. "That was the highlight of the night."

"And it was your idea," Lorelai continued, patting him excitedly on the arm. "I'm so proud. My bad behaviors are rubbing off on you and now you're coming up with your own naughty suggestions."

Luke nodded. "You're a bad influence, we all knew that."

"Too bad we couldn't act on it though," Lorelai said. "There wasn't a good way to take advantage of that exciting 'we're doing naughty things in public' vibe."

Luke glanced over at her. "Is that like a new hobby or something? You're gonna keep trying to get us into those situations until we actually get caught, aren't you?"

Lorelai shrugged nonchalantly. "Maybe."

They flirted back and forth on the drive home, and when they reached Stars Hollow, they noticed a lot of activity in the town square.

"What's going on here?" Lorelai asked.

Luke slowed the truck down and eyed the crowd. "Looks like a birthday party or something."

"I officially recognize no one," Lorelai said. "Should we crash it, get some free cake?"

"Uh, no," Luke replied, and he glanced at her underwear. "Need I remind you that we have other plans tonight?"

Lorelai giggled. "Well, maybe the cake will give us some extra energy."

"We just had cake," he reminded her.

They approached Miss Patty's, and noticed people in front of the studio and a large crowd inside. "Geez, Stars Hollow has two parties going on tonight and we weren't invited to either one?" Lorelai asked. "What's this one? Is it some sort of late-night town meeting?"

Luke slowed down to a stop and tried to peer inside. "Doesn't seem like it."

Miss Patty was standing out front, and she waved at them. "Luke, Lorelai," she called, and she started walking over to the truck. "Come join the party."

"What is it?" Lorelai asked her. "Is this the same party going on in the square?"

"No, that one's a private retirement party for some rich guy from Milford," Patty explained. "He rented out the square for the night."

"Since when do we rent out the square to other towns?" Luke asked, his eyes narrowed with confusion.

"Since Taylor got an offer he couldn't refuse," Miss Patty replied. "It just happened last night. Apparently, their original location canceled on them at the last minute and they were desperate for a replacement location and were willing to pay big."

"So what's this party?" Lorelai asked, gesturing toward the studio.

"This is the party celebrating the news that with the money Taylor made from the other party, he finally has the funds to install a heater in the community pool," Miss Patty.

"Ooh, cool," Lorelai said.

"Oh, good, so we can swim in bath water on hot summer days," Luke muttered.

"Ignore him," Lorelai said to Patty as she nudged Luke.

"Why don't you two come in? You look all dressed up for a party anyway." Miss Patty's eyes fell on the rear view mirror, and her lips curved into a grin. "Uh... unless maybe you've got other plans, you naughty, naughty kids."

Luke's face turned red as Lorelai quickly grabbed her underwear from the mirror and shoved it back in her purse. "Uh, yeah, we should get going, but thanks for filling us in, Patty," Lorelai said.

Miss Patty was still grinning at them. "All right, you two have a fun rest of your night." She stepped back from the truck and gave them a wink and a wave.

Luke pulled away and glanced over at Lorelai. "Geez."

Lorelai waved it off. "It's no big deal, she probably pictures us being dirty all the time."

"Oh, that makes me feel much better."

He pulled up in front of the closed diner and parked the truck. After a quick check inside the diner to make sure Cesar had completed all of the usual closing activities, they went upstairs to the apartment. They walked in and closed the door, and Luke immediately pulled her into a kiss.

They kissed passionately by the door for a few moments before Lorelai pulled back from him and whispered, "Hold that thought... I'll be right back."

Luke stepped back from her and she headed toward the bathroom. Luke took off his suit jacket and then sat down on the bed to take off his socks and shoes. He was starting to unbutton the cuffs of his shirt when Lorelai emerged from the bathroom.

"Okay, I just had an idea," she announced.

Luke froze. "Uh oh."

"No, it's not an 'uh oh'," she told him. "Turn out the lights." She walked over to the window behind the couch and opened it up.

Luke narrowed his eyes confusedly, but proceeded to turn out the lights in the apartment before joining her at the window.

"Look outside," she said, and they both stuck their heads out the window to look around.

They could hear background noise from both parties. In the distance to the left, the crowd was still partying in the town square around the gazebo. To the right, much closer to them, he could see people lingering in front of the dance studio as the celebration continued there.

They both stood back up, and Luke shrugged. "Okay, I looked. So?"

Lorelai stepped closer to him, draped her arms across his shoulders, and gently brushed her lips against his. "Let's do it right here," she whispered before kissing him softly. "Right in front of the window."

Luke's eyes widened and he pulled back a bit. "In front of the window? While it's open?"

Lorelai nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah."

"Lorelai..."

"Wait, listen," she urged. "I know it sounds like a crazy idea, but it's really not! We're inside, the lights are off, it's dark outside, we can be naughty in front of people but they can't really see us."

"They might," Luke pointed out.

"Yeah, if someone did happen to glance up, they might possibly see something," Lorelai conceded. "And that's what gives it that whole 'we could be caught' vibe, but the odds are really slim. I mean, it's really dark, we're far away, and what are the chances that someone would even glance up? Who walks around at night in Stars Hollow looking up at your apartment windows?"

"Miss Patty, probably," Luke replied.

Lorelai giggled. "Okay, maybe, but no one else. Plus, everyone's probably been drinking all night anyway, so they won't even realize what they're seeing if they do see something." She flashed him a bright smile. "What do you say?"

Luke sighed and rubbed his temple. "Um..."

"What if we just start over here by the window, and if you start to feel weird, we'll move to the bed?" Lorelai suggested.

Luke glanced back out the window as he contemplated the idea. He eyed the window frame and tried to determine what someone might possibly see from the street if they happened to look up. He noted the distance of where people were gathered outside, and wondered if they'd be able to hear anything.

After assessing the logistics of the situation, he had to agree with her... the risks seemed pretty minimal, but he decided to make a few adjustments anyway. He closed the window until just a few inches remained open, and then he pulled the curtains closed a little to narrow the opening that would allow them to be seen.

He glanced over at her, anxiously awaiting his decision with a hopeful look on her face, and said, "As long as the curtains stay like this."

Lorelai's eyes widened. "Really? That's a yes?" Luke had a sly smile as he started to unbuckle his belt, and Lorelai grinned before happily declaring, "That's a yes."

"That's a yes," he confirmed, and beckoned her closer with his head. "Come here."

Lorelai stepped up to him and helped remove his belt. She unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, pushed them down his legs, then picked them up and draped them over the back of the couch.

Luke pulled her closer and kissed her deeply, and he started to unzip the back of her dress. He slipped the straps over her shoulders and pushed the dress down her body. Out of habit, his hands moved to her bra clasp to undo it next, but then he hesitated.

He pulled back from her, his hands poised at the back of her bra, and debated on whether or not he wanted to remove it. In the off chance someone did look up at the window and could make out their figures among the dark apartment background, he didn't want her completely exposed.

He ran his finger along one of her bra straps. "Let's maybe leave this on, just in case."

"Just in case someone has insanely good vision from down there?"

Luke shrugged. "Yeah. I mean, I know it's dark and they probably wouldn't see anything, but..."

Lorelai nodded understandingly, content to go along with whatever made him more comfortable. "Okay." She nodded toward his shirt and teasingly asked, "You wanna leave that on, too, in case someone sees?"

Luke smiled and shook his head. "No, I'm good."

Lorelai unbuttoned his suit shirt and pushed it down over his arms, and then pulled his t-shirt up over his head. She ran her hands over his chest up to his shoulders and pulled him into a kiss.

Luke's hands gripped her hips as their tongues energetically tangled. When they parted, Luke kissed a trail down her neck to the center of her chest, then pushed her bra up to reveal her breasts.

Lorelai smiled. "Didn't you just say we should keep those hidden?"

He smiled as his hands slid up her back and arched her chest toward him. "Well, I figured letting 'em out for a few minutes wouldn't hurt." He began sucking and laving at her breasts and she was huffing out sighs of pleasure. "You like that?" he murmured.

Lorelai threaded her fingers through his hair. "Mmhmm," she hummed, and as he tugged on her nipple with his teeth, she yelped with surprise before adding, "Mm, I like that, too."

He continued his ministrations for a bit, and when he finally lifted his head from her chest, he pulled her bra back down into place. He took her by the waist and turned her so she was facing the window, and then moved to stand behind her.

Lorelai could feel his hardness pressing up against her and she grinded herself back against it, evoking a groan of pleasure from Luke. He affectionately squeezed her waist and then slid a hand down between her legs. "You wanna be touched right in front of this window?" he rasped into her ear as he began rubbing her folds. "Even though someone might see you?"

Lorelai groaned softly. "Mmm, yes."

He parted her lips and slipped his finger into her wetness, giving her a few gentle pumps. "You wanna be fucked right in front of this window, too, don't you?"

"Oh, God," she muttered, the verbal stimulation arousing her body just as much as his fingers were. His husky, sexy voice of seduction drove her crazy.

"Don't you?" he repeated.

Lorelai placed her hand against the window frame to steady herself as she nodded. "Yes. I want you to fuck me in front of the window," she replied in her own breathy, seductive voice.

Luke groaned approvingly and turned her head toward him to kiss her. He gently brushed his fingers against her clit, and Lorelai moaned into the kiss. When he pulled his lips away from hers, he moved them down to the side of her neck and began sucking on it.

While his hand was between her legs and his lips on her neck, Lorelai glanced toward the window. She couldn't really see anything outside... it was dark, and the position of the curtains made it difficult to see down the street in either direction.

But she closed her eyes and imagined a group of people chatting outside the dance studio, completely oblivious to what else was going on around them. Maybe one of them would glance up and see a shadow moving in Luke's window and think nothing of it. They'd return to their conversation, unaware that they just saw someone being fingered in that dark apartment across the street. The idea of someone not even realizing what they saw was turning Lorelai on almost as much as the idea of being caught.

Lorelai's heart was racing and her body was throbbing with arousal. She reached her hand back behind her and started rubbing Luke's cock through his boxers. "Luke," she whimpered.

Luke brought his lips up to her ear and whispered, "You want something else instead of my fingers?"

Lorelai looked back at him over her shoulder and nodded fervently before leaning in to kiss him. "Mmhmm," she murmured against his lips.

Her moans of pleasure had been driving him crazy, and he was more than ready to be inside of her. Luke quickly pushed down his boxers, and then ran his hands over her ass. "Bend over a little."

Lorelai leaned forward against the window sill, her ass invitingly arched toward him. She felt the head of his cock rub against her slit and then slip between her folds, and she groaned with pleasure. "Jesus," she muttered. He inched his entire length into her, and she hummed her approval as he filled her.

Luke let out his own approving groan as her warmth surrounded him, and he remained still inside of her for a moment. He ran his hands up her back to her shoulders and brushed her hair to one side. He traced a finger down her spine to the small of her back, and then finally his hands gripped her waist.

Lorelai closed her eyes and inhaled sharply in anticipation of his next move, and then huffed out her breath when he started thrusting into her. "Oh, God," she muttered.

Luke started with slow thrusts and gradually picked up the pace, grunting softly under his breath with each one. "God, that feels good."

"Mmm," Lorelai hummed in agreement, then opened her eyes and looked out the window that she had momentarily forgotten they were in front of.

She still couldn't see much, especially now that she was bent over. However, she worked up a quick fantasy in her mind involving a couple of imaginary men walking on the sidewalk below the window. They would hear her moans and glance up, catching a glimpse of Luke pounding into her from behind. She would make eye contact with them and give them a nod to confirm that she could see them, and they would keep watching until it was over.

Lorelai shook her head slightly to bring herself back to reality, surprised by just how much that fantasy excited her.

Luke was further back from the window, so he wasn't paying much attention to it. His hands were caressing her back and her ass as he watched his cock slide in and out of her, as well as he could in the dark apartment.

When she was finally ready to send herself over the edge, Lorelai reached her hand down between her legs and began rubbing her clit. "Luke, I'm close," she panted, and her head fell forward as she focused on her impending climax. "Harder."

Luke grabbed her shoulders and starting slamming into her faster and harder until she was shuddering with her orgasm. Her moan was loud as the pleasure rushed through her, and Luke glanced nervously toward the small opening in the window, wondering if someone might've heard her.

Luke ran his hands affectionately over her back, then helped her stand up and hugged her from behind. When her heavy breathing had subsided a little, he led her over to the couch.

He lay her down on her back and covered her body with his, then kissed her deeply until they had to break for air. He slowly pushed his hardness back into her as he stared down into her eyes. She adjusted her body beneath him to get more comfortable, then gave him a nod, and he began thrusting into her. She rested her head back against the arm of the couch as her hands began roaming his body, her fingers tracing along the curves of his toned muscles.

Their gazes were locked as his thrusts continued, and her jaw dropped open when he began slamming into her harder. "Ohhhh God, Luke," she moaned toward the ceiling. She cradled his neck and pulled him down into a kiss, then sighed against his lips. "You feel so good."

"You, too," he muttered, kissing her again. "You have no idea."

His rhythm was steady as her hips rose to meet each of his thrusts, and she soon felt him throbbing inside of her as he began to explode. When he finished his release, he exhaled an exhausted sigh and smiled down at her before kissing her.

He moved to lie beside her, squeezing between her body and the back of the couch. Lorelai turned on her side to face him, and she rested her hand on his face as she kissed him passionately.

When they separated, Luke ran his hand down her arm and rested it on her hip. "So, did that satisfy your urge for semi-public indecency?"

Lorelai nodded. "It did." She was quiet for a moment as she thought about the last few minutes. "At one point, I legitimately thought it would be really hot if someone looked up and saw us. Like, I really wanted it to happen."

Luke's eyes widened a little. "Seriously?"

"Briefly, just for a second. I mean, in hindsight, I would be totally mortified for life if it happened, but I did have an arousal-driven moment of wanting to be an exhibitionist." Lorelai scrunched her nose a little. "Does that make me crazy?"

Luke leaned in to kiss her. "Nah, it makes you naughty, but that's nothing new."

Lorelai smiled against his lips. "Would you be mad at me if someone saw us?"

"If you got their attention on purpose, yes," Luke replied. "But not if it was accidental, if we were being too loud or something. I'd be embarrassed, but not mad at you."

"Not even because I talked you into doing it in the first place?" she asked.

"Hey, you don't talk me into doing anything I don't wanna do," Luke said firmly. "I have a choice, you have a choice. Any situation we're in, we're both responsible for being in it." Lorelai smiled adoringly at him and leaned in for another kiss. When she pulled back, Luke added, "That being said, I hope you realize we'd have to move out of Stars Hollow if we ever get caught because we'd never live it down."

"I think we'd be thrown out," Lorelai said. "I'm not sure what the town bylaws say, but I'm sure Taylor has worked in some sort of eviction clause for something like that."

"Yeah, so let's maybe take a break from any risky stuff for awhile, huh?" Luke suggested.

"All right, fine," Lorelai agreed. "I will try to have less-adventurous sexual urges."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Lorelai leaned in and kissed him softly. "Let's go shower."
