Hello to this who have kept up with this little story of mine. I want to start by saying how sorry I am. I've been so horrible about updating this story. I could go on and on with excuses, but I won't. Let's just say, life happens. Well, this chapter has man on man action and is pretty explicit, so if you don't like that kind of thing, then why are you reading fiction on this site. So with no futher ado, I really hope you like this chapter.

Please review, I'd love to know what you think.

oh, and this site is really tricky when it comes to formatting, so please forgive me if the formatting sucks, really it's not my fault.

The Search – Chapter 17

Reunion

Luke awoke to find himself, lying in his bed, his shirt and pants removed. He was dressed in only pajama pants. Luke looked around his room disoriented, as he looked out his windows he noticed that it was dark outside. The last thing Luke remembered was working with the therapist on some very painful exercises. As he wracked his mind trying to remember all of a sudden the memories all came rushing back. The muscle spasms, and Noah fighting with someone trying to get to across the hallway to him. Luke having to pretend to be caught up in a nightmare in order to get a message to his boyfriend not to come to him. The memories of what happened to Luke were fuzzy but they were beginning to clear as Luke thought more and more about what had happened right before he was knocked out. As he lay in bed, he went through the events of the day over and over in his head, and that was when it hit him. Luke sat up, his body shaking as the memory of his personal guard touching him came back to him. He remembered as he laid on the therapy bed, between consciousness and unconsciousness, how the monster he had come to know as 'Hulk' was touching him in a way only Noah had ever.

Luke's body began to shudder at the thoughts of what that man may have done to him while he was unconscious. Luke brought his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around his legs, this was a habit he had since childhood, so the fact that he had just moved his legs didn't dawn on him until he felt the wetness from his tears soak through his pajama pants and wet his knee. It was only when he felt the moisture on his legs that he realized what he had done. He removed his arms from around his legs and just stared at them; he seemed to be in shock and couldn't quite believe what he was looking at. Luke warily moved his legs so that they stretched out in front of him. He stared down at his legs and spoke his thoughts out loud, "this has got to be a dream….yeah, that's it. I'm not really awake and I'm just dreaming this." Luke reached down and pinched his legs, both at the same time, and yelped in pain. Tears began to flow from his eyes as the realization that he felt the pinches hit him.

Luke tentatively swung his legs off the bed and placed his feet on the carpeted floor. He stood up and carefully tested his legs strength while still holding onto the mattress. He straightened up and with both arms out to the side for balance he moved his right leg forward, then his left. It was a slow process and a bit painful, but Luke was able to make it across his room and to the loveseat that sat next to the window he would stare out of all day. Luke wanted so badly to jump for joy, but a wave of exhaustion was beginning to hit him. He'd forgotten how it had felt when first started walking again the first time. He sat down in the loveseat and felt his body give in as his eyes began to close.

Luke was unsure how long he had been asleep in the chair when he heard a noise coming from his door. From his vantage point in the chair Luke could see that someone was tampering with the lock and turning the knob. He wanted so bad to get up and get back to his bed, but couldn't help feeling lethargic. Luke knew there was no way he could make it back to his bed on time. He just hoped that he could come up with a story that would be believable as to how he had gotten across the room. He wasn't quite ready for Damian to know that he could walk again. Luke watched as the door slowly opened, but he couldn't see the person who was still in shadow standing underneath the alcove that was between his door and his bedroom. He could hear his own pulse in his ears as it quickened with a new thought, 'could it be him?' Luke knew there wasn't much he would be able to do to fight that monster off, but he'd be damned if he'd just let him do whatever he wanted to him. Just as he was about to yell out the figure moved into the bit of moonlight that was shining into his room, and Luke's voice caught in his throat at the sight, "Noah….."

Before he could get another word out Noah had crossed the room and they were in each other's arms. Without realizing it, Luke had stood up and practically leapt into Noah's arms. Noah was kissing all of Luke's face, his hands roaming up and down Luke's back as he held the smaller man off the ground. Luke could hear him saying something between kisses, but was too busy crying to understand them. At some point Luke had wrapped his legs around Noah's waist and Noah was walking them back towards Luke's bed. They were both so busy trying hard to taste one another and it seemed as if Noah was trying to climb inside Luke through his mouth that they didn't notice that they had reached the bed until they were falling onto it with a 'humph' coming from both men, Noah landing on top of Luke. Though, the slight shock of falling onto the bed couldn't separate their lips from one another. It wasn't until Noah pulled away and stared down at his boyfriend that Luke could make out his word, "I love you so much….I'll never leave you again. I need you….I…need to feel you Luke."

Luke looked up at his boyfriend, his soul mate, and he nodded. He didn't trust his voice at the moment, for fear that he would cry. Luke watched as Noah's hands seemed to worship his chest, slowly making their way down towards his crotch, stopping at his nipples and gently stroking each one with his thumbs. Luke was sure that his body was going to go up in flames, with the heat that seemed to be radiating from those fingers. He watched as Noah placed soft kisses all over his stomach and then worked his way up to Luke's chest, where he gently but urgently took Luke's right nipple into his mouth. Noah's tongue swirled and sucked on Luke's already sensitive bud and he couldn't stop himself from arching his back and pushing his nipple further into Noah's warm mouth. Luke knew they had to be quite, but he almost cried out when Noah bit down on the sensitive bud, then licked it to sooth the slight pain. Once he was done with the right side Noah moved on to the left, where he paid the same wonderful attention to that he had its twin. And even though Luke knew what to expect it still caught him off guard when Noah once again bit down on the taut bud then gently licked the pain away. Luke knew if he didn't stop soon, this would be over sooner then he'd like. He reached over and grabbed Noah's face, lifting it off his chest. The look of pure lust that was in those beautiful blue eyes almost blew Luke away. For a moment he forgot what it was he was going to say, almost, "Noah…baby…if….you don't stop doing that…" The look in Noah's eyes was taking Luke's breath away, he had to look away or he would never finish saying what he wanted to say, "..I'm…going to…come…right now. God, I love you so much, Noah…and I want this to last, but unfortunately we don't have all night."

Noah climbed back up Luke's body and claimed his mouth. He had never wanted something so much in his life as much as he wanted to be inside of Luke again. He knew that they didn't have all night for him to worship his boyfriend like he wanted to, but he didn't want it to be a quick fuck either. They still had at least 4 hours before sunrise and he would use each minute of those hours to show Luke how much he loved him, and how sorry he was that it took him so long to realize how his life would be empty without him. When they came up for much needed air Noah looked into his boyfriends beautiful chocolate eyes and could see his love reflected back at him. His elbows were now on either side of Luke's head; allowing Noah the mobility to lift his arms and run his fingers through Luke's beautiful soft hair. As he stared into Luke's eyes, he also saw the forgiveness Luke was giving him.

A lump formed in his throat and he had to take a moment before he spoke, "Luke….I…I love you so much. I'm so sorry…so sorry for my stupidity…I just…" Luke stopped Noah from continuing by placing a finger on his lips, "Noah…there's no need. I know you love me. We will have to talk. But not now. I promise that I forgive you, and that I want to spend the rest of my life having you make it up to me." Noah saw the smirk on Luke's face and couldn't help but laugh. Luke's hand had moved from his boyfriends lips to his hair. He ran his fingers through those soft curls and couldn't help but remember how much he loved to do just that. Luke brought Noah's head back down and captured Noah's mouth in his. The kiss left them breathless and both very painfully hard. Luke was the first to pull away, "now…I just want one thing from you Mr. Mayer. I want you to make hot passionate love to me, until my eyes roll to the back of my head, or I pass out from the sheer ecstasy. Do you think you can do that?" Noah grinned as he brought his hand down and found Luke's erection, "I think I can manage that."

Luke moaned as Noah rubbed his palm up and down against his very hard cock. He couldn't stop his hips from thrusting into Noah's hand. Noah was kissing his neck now, and he was on the spot that always drove Luke crazy. The bend where the neck and shoulder meet was always a very sensitive spot for Luke, and when Noah figured out just how great it made Luke feel when he would bite down on that area, he would use it to get Luke to watch his old black and whites on movie night. At the moment Luke would have done anything Noah wanted as long as he kept his hand and mouth where they were. All too quickly though, Noah had moved away from Luke's neck, and Luke whimpered in protest. Luke could hear Noah's breathy laugh and was about to say something in defense of his whimper when Noah began to suck Luke's nipple into his mouth again. This time it was a groan that escaped Luke's lips before he could stop it. In one swift movement his hand worked its way under Luke's pajama pants and was currently stroking Luke's aching cock slowly. His mouth moved further down Luke's chest, leaving trails of kisses down his chest to his flat stomach.

Luke watched as Noah removed his hand from inside his pants, and again he whimpered. Noah looked up at Luke from his position right at Luke's crotch. He put both hands on the waistband of his pants and pulled them down and over his very prominent erection. The cool air hitting his sensitive cock made it twitch. After Noah had rid Luke of his pajama bottoms he worked his way back up Luke's body, planting kisses up his legs, all the while opening them up so that he could get better access to what he felt he had been starving for, for far too long. He trailed kissed up Luke's inner thighs until he reached the most beautiful site in the world, or at least his world, Luke's cock.

Luke watched as the man he loved worshipped his body, literally from his toes up to his very hard cock. He knew at the beginning of their sexual relationship Noah was hesitant to take Luke into his mouth. His father had done a number on him, and though he was free of the man, his hate was still imbedded in Noah's mind. Though, as their relationship progressed Luke found that Noah seemed to love to take Luke deep into his throat. It seemed to turn him on as much as it did Luke. He watched as Noah's tongue slightly moistened his lips just before he took Luke into his warm mouth.

Noah had experience with Luke's body's reaction every time he did this, so he was prepared when Luke tried to lift his hips off the bed. Noah had already placed his hands on Luke's hips in order to hold him down as he took him deep into his throat and swallowed around him. Noah knew that any other time Luke would be screaming profanities and telling Noah how good he felt, but for now he looked up to find his boyfriend with a pillow covering his head, as he tried not to scream. The pleasure that he was giving Luke was turning Noah on just as much, and he could feel his straining cock against his jeans zipper. Noah reached down and unzipped his pants in order to relive some to the pressure. In doing this his cock fell out of his jeans, due to the fact that he had in fact gone commando today. As he bobbed up and down on Luke's shaft he cupped Luke's balls with his right hand as his left went to work on himself. All of a sudden Noah could feel Luke tugging at his hair, pulling him off of him. Noah looked up in confusion, not sure if he had done something wrong, but the look of lust and love being sent to him by Luke left him with no doubt that he was doing everything right.

Luke looked down at Noah, his blue eyes turned dark with passion and his lips slightly swollen, it was the most beautiful sight Luke had ever seen. He knew that if Noah didn't stop he would come and he didn't want to come this way, at least not tonight, "Noah, baby…please...I need you inside me when I come." It didn't take much more than those words before Noah was on his feet taking off his clothes, then he was back between Luke's legs, lifting them onto his shoulders. It was then that he realized that they didn't have any lube or condoms. Noah paused for a moment unsure as to what to do. Luke knew his boyscout boyfriend well and knew what he was thinking. "Noah, please, don't stop now. I haven't been with anyone but you."

Luke looked up at his love and realized that maybe Noah had been with someone while he was in Texas and that was why he was worried. Noah saw the quick look of pain that came across Luke's eyes, and realized what his hesitation would mean to him, "Luke….baby, there hasn't been anyone else for me either." The look of relief on Luke's face made Noah sad, what he had done to this wonderful man to make him doubt his love for him, it was something that he would have to fix soon. Noah still didn't move and Luke was beginning to wonder if maybe he changed his mind, but before Luke could ask Noah spoke, "I don't want to hurt you…we need something that can work as a lubricant. It's been too long, Luke, I know that it will painful for you. Maybe we shouldn't do this now?" Luke knew there was no way in hell he was going to let Noah stop. He wracked his brain thinking about what he had in this room, close by, mainly because he didn't want Noah to move to far away from him. As he looked around his eyes fell on the message oil his therapist had given him, so he could rub his legs when they cramped.

Noah saw a smirk come across his lovers face and knew he had figured out how to solve their little problem. Luke looked at Noah his eyes full of lust. He raised himself enough to off the bed to reach Noah's mouth. A move that made Noah want to come right then and there. He'd almost forgotten how flexible his boyfriend was, that was until he watched him bend himself in half while Noah had his legs still up on his shoulders. If Luke didn't come up with something now, Noah was about to combust. Luke pulled away from the kiss and whispered, "massage oil…nightstand…now." Noah was still reeling from the kiss, and found it hard to focus on Luke's words. All he could see was Luke's kiss swollen lips, and he found himself reaching down to capture those lips again, only to have Luke move away. This caused Noah to whimper and Luke to smile, "Noah…please…hurry. The. Massage. Oil….on my nightstand, NOW, soldier." Those words made Noah stand at attention, or at least his cock did.

Noah loved a bossy Luke, and in this position it just made him want him more. He leaned over towards the nightstand and grabbed the oil. Then it all slowed down. Noah had poured some of the oil on his fingers and reached between Luke's legs. It had been too many months since they had been together and Noah knew that Luke would be tight, but he was unprepared for just how tight. As he inserted one oiled finger he could feel Luke's muscles clamping down on him, he groaned in ecstasy. At this rate Noah wasn't going to last past the foreplay. Noah kept his eyes on his boyfriend, staring deep into those chocolate lust filled eyes made Noah want to hurry the process and just take Luke right there and then, but he knew he had to go slow. There was no way in hell he would hurt Luke, he'd given him enough pain to last a lifetime. Noah watched as Luke's head fell back onto the mattress and he arched his back, bringing himself down onto Noah's finger. The pleasure he was feeling was driving him insane, if it was possible to die from blue balls Noah thought he was about ready to go.

Luke could feel Noah's finger pressing against his prostate, going in and out of his body and hitting that spot each and every time. It was as if Noah had memorized Luke's body and remembered exactly where everything was. Luke was breathing hard, his cock was straining against his stomach and precum fluid was leaking. If he didn't hurry this up, it would end before it had begun. Luke watched his boyfriends face, seeing fear that he might hurt him, and he knew he had to do something, or Noah would take his time. So he threw his head back and arched his spine, subsequently pushing himself down onto Noah's finger, causing Noah to groan. Luke smiled, he knew that would do the trick, and soon after Noah was inserting a second oiled finger and was using them in a scissoring pattern, trying to open Luke up enough to accept his cock. Luke couldn't take it anymore, he sat up on his elbows, staring at his sweat covered boyfriend, and said the words he knew would make Noah come undone, "Dammit Noah, stop being such a boyscout…and just ….FUCK ME…already!" Luke watched as Noah's eyes widened and his pupil's expanded, black taking over the beautiful blue.

Noah removed his fingers, causing Luke to whimper. Noah lined himself up with Luke's entrance and began to push his now extremely hard cock into Luke's extremely tight hole. He knew he had to go slow, but his body was screaming for him to just push in hard and fast. Noah knew he couldn't and wouldn't do that to Luke, at least not yet. The head of his cock pushed past the tight ring of muscles that were now beginning to relax. He felt himself slowly entering deeper into Luke's body; all the while he kept watching his lover's face for any signs of pain or discomfort. All he could find was pleasure. As their bodies connected and Noah could go no further, he stopped, giving Luke time to adjust to him. Noah moved Luke's legs to just above his waist and at some point had put a pillow under Luke's ass, in order to give him comfort and Noah the ability to lean in and capture Luke's perfect lips.

They moved together in a rhythm they both knew so well, their bodies working together as one. Noah knew he had to be quiet, but as his cock moved in and out of Luke's body, all he wanted to do was scream in pleasure. Luke's legs wrapped around Noah's waist, as he pounded into the smaller man, holding on tight and forcing Noah even closer, if that was at all possible. Noah looked into the eyes of the only man he'll ever love and bent down to capture those beautiful swollen lips. That movement shifted his body in just the right way, so that his cock now had a more direct hit on Luke's prostate. Which in turn made Luke arch his body; causing Noah and him to be suspended in air for just a few seconds, but it felt like they had been floating for an eternity. Fortunately, Noah's mouth had been covering Luke's, muffling the scream that erupted from him. As they floated back down to the mattress Noah could feel Luke's legs wrapping even tighter around his waist. It was as if Luke wanted to hold him there permanently, and Noah was more than happy to be there. Noah continued to thrust his hips, slamming into Luke's body and hitting that spot over and over again. He wanted his lover to come before him, but knew that he couldn't hold out much longer. Not with Luke scratching his back and thrusting his hips to counter every movement Noah was making. He was about to reach between them to help Luke's release when Luke brought Noah back down and placed his head between Noah's neck and shoulder, stifling the scream of pleasure as he came between them, without Noah even touching him. Luke bit down on that muscle, and Noah could feel Luke's muscle spasm and tighten around his cock, milking him. Noah didn't think he would ever stop coming, as his body jerked and continued to pound into the body underneath him. All he could do was ride out the waves of ecstasy along with his lover, who also seemed to be continuing his own orgasm. After what seemed like an eternity their bodies gave out, and Noah fell on top of his lover, still connected. Their breathing was hard and each could feel the other's heartbeats as they lay chest to chest.

Noah was the first to move, pulling his head up so he could look into Luke's eyes. His breath caught in his throat as he noticed the tears sliding down the sides of Luke's face. Luke's eyes were closed and he did not see the fear in his boyfriend's eyes, but felt how quickly he seemed to have tensed. He opened his eyes slowly and stared into the eyes of the man he thought he lost forever, and realized what he was seeing, "Noah, love, I'm alright. These are tears of utter happiness." Luke smiled when he saw the relief on Noah's face and reached up to cup his face and bring it down for a soft kiss. Now it was Noah's turn to cry. He thought he had lost everything when he lost his sight, and Luke had been his 'everything.'

Noah, laughed as he kissed Luke's face, peppering kisses wherever he could, then rolling them over, so that Luke was now straddling him, while still attached to his lover. This of course was not something new, it seemed as if Noah would always be half hard anytime Luke was around him, and the fact that he was very well endowed didn't hurt. Luke smirked as he realized that they still had hours before sunrise, and he could feel his boyfriend beginning to get his second wind. He leaned down and captured Noah's mouth, while at the same time moving his hips up and down, gaining a groan from his lover, "L..….oh god..already?" Luke just smiled and continued his hip movements adding a little muscle contraction to it. Now it was Noah's turn to arch off the bed as his cock hardened instantaneously. Luke sat up now, looking down at the love of his life and knowing that he would never be able to have enough of this man. His legs were aching a little, but he didn't care, as he began to ride his boyfriends cock and elicit the most beautiful sound he could ever hear, "Luke..I. Love. You. So mu..ch.." When they came this time it was much quicker than before, but just as wonderful. This time Noah reached for Luke's cock and brought him to climax at the same time as his hit him. Luke fell over onto Noah's chest breathing hard and totally sated. This time Luke pulled Noah out of him and fell over onto the mattress, his legs cramping a bit from over exertion, but Luke didn't care one bit. He placed his head on Noah's chest and began to drift off. He knew that when he woke Noah would be gone, but that he would be back and they would be together again soon, if all went as planned.

Before he could fully drift off he had to ask Noah for something he knew Noah would hate, "Noah, I have to ask you to promise me something." Luke looked up from Noah's chest and saw the suspicion in Noah's eyes, "please, bubby, you have to promise me this." Noah looked into his lovers eyes and saw his fear, "Luke, please don't make me promise something I may not be able to do." Luke knew that what he said next would hurt Noah, but he had no choice, he wanted Noah safe, "if you truly love me, you will." Luke could feel as well as hear Noah's sharp intake of breath, and he hated that he had to see pain in Noah's eyes, "Luke, how can…how can you even say that? Of course I love you." Luke took a deep breath and continued, "then you will promise me that you will not try and take on the man you've seen carrying me and.." he had to stop, he could feel the bile trying to force its way up his throat, at the thought of what this monster wanted to do to him, "..and touching me. Promise me Noah, that no matter what you see him doing, you will not break your cover. If you do, then this will end with you dead and me a possible vegetable. Damian wiped my memory once, I'm certain he can do it again. And Noah, I'm not sure I'm strong enough to fight him again." Noah looked into Luke's tear filled eyes and knew he had no choice, if they were going to get him and Lily away from Damian, then he had to keep his distance. Noah looked away, unable to look at Luke as he said the next words, "I promise Luke. But if I see that you are in danger, or that he's going to.." Noah couldn't finish that sentence as he felt a lump form in his throat. Luke cupped Noah's face with his hand and turned him to face him, "hey, I'm a lot stronger then I look." Luke smiled when Noah rolled his eyes, "plus I have the element of surprise; he doesn't think I can walk yet. So please look at me when you make the promise." Noah rolled Luke over and captured his lips again, "I promise that as long as you're safe I will keep my distance. That is the only promise I can make Luke. I won't lose you again." Luke nodded, knowing that that would be all he would get out of his stubborn boyfriend, and secretly loving how he had his own protector. Luke kissed Noah once more, and even though he tried to deepen the kiss, maybe go for round three, he felt Noah pull away. Giving his boyfriend an annoyed look, Luke tried again, only to have Noah pull back once more, laughing in the process, "even though you may have an insatiable sex drive, we can't go another round." Luke frowned and turned his face away, "hey," Noah grabbed Luke's chin and brought his face back towards him, "as much as I would love to just lie here and make love to you all night long, and all day tomorrow.." this earned him a moan from his angry lover, "we need to get cleaned up and open some windows, this place smells of sweat and sex, and we can't have anyone come in to this." Luke knew Noah was right, but that didn't make it any better, that was until he thought about the cleaning up part, as in 'shower.' Noah knew instantly what Luke was thinking, when he got what he called the 'take me' look on his face. He knew that his boyfriend would not give up so easily, so he took a deep breath, jumped off the bed pulling a surprised Luke with him, and carried his boyfriend to the bathroom, where they would spend another half hour fucking in the shower, knowing that they had to be quick.

It was 5:30 am by the time Noah had finished cleaning up their mess and airing out the room. Fortunately, they were in the Mediterranean, so the night was warm, as he opened the windows and aired out the room. He had made arrangements with Maria, to leave spare bedding hidden in the linen closet, she smiled knowingly at him, and laughed as he blushed, but she did as he asked. Noah changed the sheets, stuffing the dirty ones in the hamper full of dirty towels and clothes, for Maria to pick up in the morning. Fortunately they had taken the comforter off the bed, before they began. As the sun began to slowly creep up in the sky, Noah looked over and found Luke asleep on the plush chair next to the window, exhaustion finally taking over. He went to the chair and picked up his lover, who subconsciously snuggled deeper into Noah's chest, and let out a sigh of contentment. He placed Luke on the bed and covered him up, the room had chilled once more, once the windows had been closed and the convenience of central air kicked in. Noah couldn't help but run his fingers through Luke's hair, marveling at how beautiful he was, and how he was all his. Noah bent over and kissed Luke's still kiss swollen lips, and whispered, "I love you Luke Snyder. I will always love you, till my dying day." He watched as a small smile crept unto Luke's lips, as his sleeping mind took in those words. Noah straightened up and left the room, only looking back once as he herd Luke say something in his sleep, "No..ah…love you so much." Then silence, Noah turned and walked out the door closing it behind him and snuck back to the basement where they had been given cots to sleep on, a smile on his face.
