Chapter 6- Love, Lust And Desire
The night continued, a breezy wind tapping on the glass windows and the candle's wax slowly melting as the orange flame illuminates a dim light around Luke's bedroom, radiating warmth and comfort across every inch of the cluttered man's bedroom.
Still, Luke and Nick sat amongst the plush mattress, doing nothing but staring into each other's eyes, the same desire beneath their warm skin…
"Luke…" Nick began to say, voice cracked slightly but quiet and patient.
"Yeah?" Luke asked, plucking up the courage to take hold of Nick's warm hands within his own, rubbing Nick's soft flesh as Luke felt his muscles tense up before going back to normal slowly.
"Can… can I hold you… again?" Nick nervously spoke, looking down at his hands being held firmly within Luke's.
Luke blushed before smiling gently, letting go of Nick's hands and replying with: "Of course you can…"
Nick smiled before practically throwing himself on top of Luke's body, pushing the brunette down onto his back making him chuckle slightly.
Nick held Luke firmly, burying his head into the other man's chest, listening to each heartbeat as he lay pretty well on top of Luke.
"I need you so much, man…" Nick murmured into Luke's vest, holding Luke tighter.
"I know, I know… I need you too Nick…" Luke explained smiling while rubbing Nick's back in circular motions with his free arm.
"You don't need me, I'm useless… I'm a burden, I'm a danger…" Nick spoke sadly.
"Hey, hey… Nick, don't say that." Luke almost scolded, pushing Nick away so that they both sat up again.
"You're, you're… forget it." Luke spoke before pushing himself forward so that he lay on top of Nick this time, catching the black haired man off guard slightly due to the sudden movement.
Face to face, Luke looked down at Nick with desperate brown eyes and Nick looked up at Luke with his blue eyes, trying to say something but instead keeping quiet.
"I love you…Nick… don't say that about yourself, ever." Luke spoke softly, watching the other man's facial expression change to a small smile of gratitude.
"I… love you, Luke…" Nick spoke in a breathless whisper; only now noticing how close Luke's face was from his.
Ever so slowly, Luke leant down closer to Nick's face, the other man's breath was warm against his face, sending shivers down his spine before he pushed himself forward lightly so that his lips touched Nick's soft ones.
They lay, kissing each other passionately until it finally caused both men to get out of breath.
Luke slowly pulled away from Nick's lips, his face flustered and hot, Nick's the exact same.
For a moment, the two just stared at each other both shocked. That was most probably the best either of them felt in years. The warmth, the comfort was finally there, sending both Luke and Nick's emotions over the edge.
Now, there was only love, lust and desire in each man's eyes, calling out for each other's attention…
Luke then pushed himself upright so that he was practically sitting atop of Nick, body now properly in contact with the other man's.
Without hesitation, he plunged down onto Nick, placing his lips firmly on his again.
Nick let out a small moan into Luke's lips as Luke used his tongue to gently lick at Nick's upper lip. Luke then placed his hands on Nick's chest, feeling his heat from his chest flow through to his palms.
Gradually, Nick parted his lips, letting Luke tenderly slip his tongue into the black haired man's mouth, causing him to let out several moans as he lifted his arms so that he brushed his fingers through Luke's wavy brown locks, gripping tightly as Luke worked miracles around his mouth.
Eventually, the two swapped roles, Nick now dominating Luke's mouth with his tongue, causing Luke to be the one letting out small moans of pleasure…
After some time, Luke and Nick removed their mouths from one another, giving each other time to catch their breaths once again.
"I love you so much…" Nick spoke breathlessly, face hot and flustered whilst his fingers were still tangled in Luke's hair.
"Ditto to that." Luke replied, smiling also out of breath.
Luke then lowered himself down slightly but stopped when Nick gasped suddenly.
"Luke… uh…" Nick tried to say.
Luke then realised what Nick was trying to say…
The brunette man looked down embarrassed, noticing how their lower regions were pressed against each other, causing Nick to stiffen up underneath him slightly.
"Shit… I, uh…" Luke shakily spoke, however Nick just smiled, removing his hands from Luke's hair and to then hold onto the other man's muscular upper arms.
"Stay… please…" Nick whispered, pushing himself up slightly so that their bodies pressed together and their faces were only centimetres apart again…
Luke nodded and gulped, realising that him and Nick were now actually in contact… this was happening…
"Kiss me…" Nick almost pleaded but whispered into Luke's ear.
"Anything." Luke smirked back, pushing his lips against Nick's once again, creating the same contentment as their first kiss…
After what felt like years of the same pleasurable movements, Luke decided to release his lips away from Nick's finally, and slowly make his way downward.
Nick gave out to what Luke was doing and just laid across the mattress, letting Luke take him to wherever he wanted…
Tenderly, Luke made a trail of soft kisses down Nick's neck then onto his collarbone, stopping before Nick's vest. Luke then looked up at the black haired man for approval in which Nick just smirked back, allowing Luke to strip him off his vest.
Once Luke had pulled off Nick's vest, he threw it to the side before looking down at Nick's toned body, causing slight strain within his boxers.
Nick looked up at Luke, slightly embarrassed as Luke stared down at him in awe.
"Goddamn Nick…" Luke spoke before going back to placing light compassionate kisses all the way down Nick's chest, stopping below his navel.
"Luke…" Nick moaned slightly, but also trying to catch the brunette's attention.
"Yeah?" Luke asked, sitting up so that he could face Nick.
Nick also sat up, looking Luke up and down.
"I can't see you like this…" Nick spoke calmly.
"Wha… what do you mean?" Luke questioned nervously, not knowing whether he did something wrong.
"Here." Nick replied, leaning forward to grip the hem of Luke's grey vest.
"Oh…" Luke said, allowing Nick to do whatever he desired.
Nick grinned before pulling upwards Luke's vest, revealing his muscular toned chest, which made Nick bite his lip at the sight.
Luke also blushed and attempted to look away but Nick leaned forward, placing a hand on Luke's cheek and simply smiled.
Nick then repeated what Luke had done, pushing the brunette onto his back and making a trail of kisses all the way down his warm chest…
"Nick, you tease…" Luke spoke in a whisper, his hand gripping onto one of Nick's arms, the same way he did to him.
"You hypocrite." Nick spoke in-between kisses.
Luke chuckled before closing his eyes and letting Nick warm his skin further with his gentle touches of his lips.
Without realising, Luke soon came to notice that Nick had already reached the hem of his jogging bottoms and just sat above him anxiously awaiting Luke's approval.
However, Luke didn't want to be pleased first… this was about Nick.
He wanted to relieve his stress.
"No way." Luke says, sitting up again, and pushing Nick gently onto his back for what felt like the one-hundredth time tonight.
Nick chuckled but obeyed, sprawling himself across the plush mattress, allowing Luke to get to it.
Having said that, a quiet knock came from Luke's bedroom door. Before Luke or Nick could react, the door slowly opened revealing of all people… Pete.
"Luke? Luke? Get to sleep for god's sake." Pete's voice spoke, moments before he actually walked into Luke's room.
"Shit!" both Luke and Nick cursed just as the door opened, fumbling quickly to hide away… unfortunately that failed…
"Jesus Christ! What the hell is going on?!" Pete spoke a little louder than intended, quickly turning around so that he didn't face to two men who had been currently trying to get intimate before Pete had walked in.
"Uncle!" Nick nearly shouted, grabbing his vest and throwing it on… it was Luke's vest…
Luke did the same, also noticing that he was wearing Nick's vest… Fuck.
"I came by to take watch and your room was lit up like a fucking beacon in the middle of the damn night!" Pete explained confused… or angry? He didn't know himself…
"I uh…sorry bout that…" Luke stammered, his face burning up in humiliation.
Nick's face was also just as red but he didn't say anything.
"You… you weren't doing what I thought you were doing?" Pete stammered himself, embarrassed for the two men but still looking away.
"No… I mean yes… wait." Luke stumbled upon his words again.
"You know what… never mind… just, just go to sleep or I'll put you both on watch." Pete explained, before heading out the door, closing it with the familiar click!
"Fuck…" Nick spoke, staring down at the mattress still in shock.
Luke stayed silent, staring at the door wishing what just happened didn't happen…
They had been caught…
Not that it was a bad thing…
But they were caught pretty much in the act…
"Goddamn, Pete just always has to be there… always!" Nick said angrily.
"It's okay Nick, it's okay… we'll just have to sort this out tomorrow…" Luke explained, edging closer to a very embarrassed Nick.
"I guess we can't continue, huh?" Nick spoke, smirking but was disappointed inside.
"I dunno, tomorrow maybe? Pete's gonna shoot both of us if we don't get to sleep…" Luke replied, stripping out of Nick's vest, in which Nick did the same with his.
The two then swapped vest's chuckling as they did so…
"So…" Nick said, not feeling as confident as he was before.
"So… you wanna sleep here for the night?" Luke casually mentions to Nick.
Nick smiled.
"Can I sleep here every night?" he asked, making Luke laugh.
"Of course!" he replied happily.
"Great, then I'm moving in!" Nick replied smiling.
"Yeah just don't make my room a god damn pig sty… you've done that enough with your room already!" Luke teases.
"I promise." Nick says.
"Plus, Sarah can have my room so she doesn't have to sleep in the same bed as her dad… his snoring gotta keep even the deafest one awake!" Nick explains chuckling.
"Yeah, agreed!" Luke replied, now getting up out of bed to put out the candles.
Nick just lied on the bed, watching Luke pace around the room slowly.
"Well then? Get comfortable… this bed is only big enough for one…" Luke says mockingly, coming up beside his bed before pulling himself underneath the blanket.
"Well we seemed to have managed before…" Nick spoke back into the now darkness.
Luke blushed, grateful that Nick couldn't see.
"haha, yeah… we did." Luke smirked, pulling himself closer to Nick's body.
It was now early morning and Luke or Nick hadn't got any proper rest…
Now that they were in each other's arms… nothing was going to separate them now… even a certain Uncle...
