Chapter Thirty-Four

Indulgent

"Now, you go and change into your sleep clothes and meet me back in ten minutes,"

"What else are you planning?"

"It's a surprise. Now go," Noah said as he playfully pushed Luke towards his bathroom door. Luke walked inside and looked at himself in the mirror. He was smiling; smiling like he had never before. But how could he not? He had the most amazing man waiting for him the living room. He wanted to know what he had done in a past life to earn a guy like Noah, because he was more than willing to do it again. He knew that they still some issues to work through, but they could wait for now. Now it was just about him and Noah and the outrageous picnic he had created in his living room.

Luke changed out of his clothes into a pair of gray jogging pants and a black tank-top hanging in the bathroom. He quickly brushed his teeth, put on some body spray, and ran his fingers through his hair. He knew it was silly, but he wanted to look good for Noah. He knew that Noah would not care what he looked like, but it made him feel good to have look at him that way. To look at him like he was the only thing in the world that he wanted and needed. He heard music start to play as he opened the bathroom door. He walked down the hall and watched Noah fussing about the room.

He was moving pillows around and checking that everything was in the right place. He stopped when Luke came into the room. There was that look that Luke was thinking about when he was getting ready. That look of awe that Noah liked to give him. Luke wondered if Noah knew that he had that look. He decided to wait to ask him.

"Hi," Luke said as he stopped right in front of Noah.

"Hi," Noah answered back and gave Luke a 1000-watt smile. The song playing changed and Noah slipped his hand into Luke's. "Dance with me?"

"Sure,"

Noah tightened his grip on Luke's hand and slipped his other hand to the small of Luke's back. Luke slid his hand up Noah's back and lightly played with the hair at the nape of Noah's neck. Their bodies came together and they slowly rocked to the music. Noah was so glad that Luke had decided to wear the clothes that he hung up in the bathroom. He was hoping he would, but he was so glad that he did. Growing up he could never understand how some of his friends could get so worked into a lather over what girls would wear. Barely-there skirts and low-cut tops were what got their motors running. It wasn't until he met Luke that he finally understood it. Where the glimpse of a bare arm or exposed back had him wanting to lick all of Luke's skin.

"Does this sound familiar?" Noah asked.

"Ahh, I don't know. I like it," Luke said straining to hear the song on the stereo, but he couldn't quite place it.

"You don't remember do you? This was playing in Metro when he danced on New Year's Eve," Noah said; quite proud of himself that he remembered and Luke didn't. Luke hand left Noah and joined the other behind Noah's neck. Noah held onto Luke's lower back and brought their bodies even closer together. As Leona Lewis' version of Run played throughout the apartment, Luke laid his head on Noah's shoulder. Noah buried his nose in Luke's neck and took a long breath. Luke's scent. Noah knew that if he could bottle it; he'd make a mint. They didn't say anything they just danced. They finally finished their dance.

The song changed to another and Noah straightened up. Luke leaned back slightly and looked up at his boyfriend. Luke was at such peace right now. All stress and tension that had been building on top of him for the last six months was slowing draining away. He had felt much better about him and Noah since they really started to talk, but there was still that lingering doubt. That fear that something or someone come between them again. It seemed that whenever things were good and there was clear sailing, something would fall on them and ruin everything.

It happened over and over again.

Luke's illness.

Noah's accident.

Mason Jarvis.

Brian Wheatley.

Ameera Aziz.

Colonel Mayer. More than once.

Each time they pulled themselves for the ashes and started again. Until this exact moment, Luke had sinking feeling that something was going to do it again. But right now he knew that he and Noah would make it. They were supposed to be together.

"What are you thinking right now? I want to know what made you smile like that," Noah said playfully. Luke bowed his head to hide his flushed cheeks. Noah always did this to him. A look or a sweet word was all it took for Luke to turn into a 15 year old girl.

"I was thinking that…I'm hungry. What did you get us?" Luke asked.

"I don't think that was what you were thinking, but I'll let it go. For now," Noah said as he stepped back while still holding Luke's hand. He kneeled on the floor and Luke followed him. Noah sat cross legged next to the coffee table when Luke sat on his knees facing him. Noah was so proud of the spread he laid out and he wanted to spoil Luke for a little while.

"I got all of your favorites. We have sweet and spicy pork; shrimp spring rolls; ginger noodles; and cream cheese wontons. We also have sparkling apple cider chilling right over there," Luke just stared at his boyfriend while Noah showed all that he had done for them tonight.

And Luke couldn't resist anymore.

He leaned forward and captured Noah's mouth mid-word. Noah hand went to Luke's cheek and held him where he was. The kiss started out a simple one, but quickly grew more desperate. Luke rose to his knees and Noah followed with his lips. Noah put his hands on Luke's waist and pushed slightly to extract himself from one of their hotter kisses.

"What?" Luke questioned.

"Nothing. That kiss top five easy, but I want to spoil you a little. I'm making up for six months of not being there for you. You were there for me every day and I didn't see that," Noah said and then he realized how that came out. "You know what I mean. I want to pamper you a little before we get to the other stuff. Let me put you first for tonight," Noah knew that he was laying it on a little think, but maybe that was only way he would see what tonight was about. Luke finally relented.

"Ok, I'll try not to rush things, I promise," Luke said and Noah nodded almost in triumph.

They dug into the food and just enjoyed a quiet dinner. They talked about nothing specific. Luke had a new idea for the foundation and Noah had a new script. It was nice just being together. For an hour they were able to just be them, there was no doctors, or Snyders, no anything.

Just Luke and Noah.

Noah started to clean up the spread, but Luke would not hear of it. Luke insisted he help. Noah went through all the planning, Luke could at least help put the food away. Noah was putting the leftovers in the fridge and Luke came up behind him. He slid his hands under Noah's shirt and across his stomach. Luke let out a slow, hot breath that glided over the back of his neck. Noah shuddered as that one breath worked its magic. Luke followed that breath with a couple slow kisses. Noah's hands found Luke's thighs and pulled his body closer; Luke's chest flush against Noah's back. Luke's hands kept moving the entire time. First he ran his fingertips across his abs. He let them lightly play with the waistband of his pants. Brushed the hair just under his bellybutton, but not going lower; at least not yet. Noah's breath hitched at the teasing there. Luke smiled into the kisses that he was giving Noah. He loved it when had this affect on him; sometimes Noah was just too easy.

Luke hands then moved up to Noah's already hard nipples. He softly brushed the hard nubs with his fingers. Noah's was trying to keep his mind in check, but Luke was making it really hard; in more ways than one.

"Luke, if you keep doing that, this will be over way too soon," Noah managed to get out. Luke hands slid back down to Noah stomach. Noah turned in Luke arms and took Luke face in his hands. His lips took Luke's lower lip in and he sucked on it lightly. Luke moaned into his kiss as Noah directed them back to the living room. The music was still playing; slow and sexy. Noah kneeled back onto the pillows and blankets while not breaking their kiss. Luke came right with him and straddled Noah's thighs, the kiss never stopped. Noah pulled Luke's pelvis to him and Luke groaned in response. Noah loved the reactions he was always able to get out of him. He pulled away and looked at a sexed up Luke. His lids were heavy and his lips were red and swollen. His mouth hung open slightly while he gasped for air. Noah's hands moved under Luke's tank-top and pulled it off. He wrapped his arm around Luke's back and cradled his head with the other as he lowered him onto the blankets; their bodies flush against each other.

Luke felt so safe and protected right now. Noah always made him feel safe, but he was being so gentle with him tonight; as if he was made of glass. Noah brushed Luke's hair away from his face and let his fingers linger down his cheek.

"You are so beautiful, do you know that?" Noah said so quietly that Luke almost didn't hear him. If he had not been so close, he won't have. Luke was suddenly embarrassed. He turned his head to look away, but Noah pulled his gaze back. "No, don't do that. I think you're beautiful. I always have and I have always been surprised that you don't believe me,"

"That makes two of us," was all Luke was able to get out. His body wanted to cry, but he bit that back and lightly kissed Noah. Luke's hands rested on Noah's waist while the brunette's body nestled between his thighs. Noah lightly rocked his body into Luke, who gasped at the electrifying connection. Luke tugged at Noah's shirt and pulled it off his body. He wanted to feel Noah's skin against his. Luke could feel Noah's temperature rising under his hands. That thought made me a little confident in what they were doing. But he was still nervous.

They hadn't been together for so long, that it was like their first time all over again.

Noah's mouth on his neck was the next thing he felt. He moved down Luke's body, peppering light kisses with each nibble and lick. Noah wanted to taste every bit of Luke's gorgeous skin. He had been blessed with intoxicating combination of velvet smoothness and creamy softness that Noah knew positively and without one doubt that he never wanted to touch another man's skin for the rest of his days. He arrived at Luke's pants and looked up at the blonde. Luke had been watching every move that Noah was making and it was driving slowly insane. Noah said he wanted to spoil Luke and he was not kidding.

Noah pulled on the pants and they effortlessly came away from Luke's body; bringing his underwear with them. Luke was now naked in front of his very patient boyfriend and a slight blush came over his cheeks. Noah smiled at him; he was so cute right now. They had slept together how many times and he was shy right now. Noah pushed himself up to his knees and moved back. Luke's brow furrowed for a moment and then Noah moved lower on Luke. He took Luke's hard dick into his mouth and Luke's back arched in pleasure. He moved very slowly up and down on Luke; he wanted it last. He wanted to show Luke just important he was to him.

"Oh God, Noah," Luke was able to actually form words; his voice came out all breathy. Noah almost laughed; Luke's bedroom voice. He continued pleasuring Luke; taking long slow tugs on his cock. Luke felt like the top of his head was going blow clear off. He wished Noah would hurry; he wanted to touch him too. Luke's hand rested on the back of Noah's head; spurring him on. He had wanted to be this close to Noah for so long he was afraid to close his eyes; afraid that it might be a dream. He couldn't wait anymore. He pulled on Noah arm and back up to his mouth. Noah nearly fell on top of Luke, but the sexy blonde caught him. Their lips met in a desperate kiss. Noah wanted to go slow, but Luke just wanted Noah. Luke curled his feet around Noah's thighs and pulled his pants down with a little assistance from Noah. Both men were now naked and wrapped in each other.

"Make love to me Noah," there was that bedroom voice again.

Noah pulled away slightly and grabbed a small paper bag he had hidden by the sofa. He didn't want to be presumptuous in having things at the ready. Luke propped himself up on his elbows and watched as Noah slid a condom on, applied a little lube, and resume his position between Luke's thighs. This was Noah's favorite position. He was so close to Luke and he loved to look into his eyes while he moved in and out of him. Luke was chewing on his bottom lip; he was nervous.

"Luke we don't have to do this,"

"I want to. I want you. And I love that you are worried about me right now," Luke said and then took Noah's face in his hands; bringing his mouth to Luke's. Noah continued to lick at Luke's mouth as he entered him. Luke pulled him mouth away and threw his head back against the pillows. It had been a while; it hurt at first, but the closeness he felt so outweighed any kind of pain he was feeling.

Noah slowly pulled out and moved back in. Luke moved with Noah, meeting his thrusts. Luke felt like every nerve in his body was on fire. Sweat was building where their bodies met. Noah was sure that every other time that they were together never felt as good as this did. Luke was meeting Noah, but the brunette never sped up. He was moving at an even rhythm that was driving Luke crazy. Noah wanted to last long as he could. He had wanted Luke for so long; he never wanted this to end.

But eventually it had to.

Luke pulled Noah's mouth to his and kissed him hard as he neared his own ending.

"I'm gonna cum. Don't stop. Cum with me," Luke said into the kiss. Noah could only nod as a response and he let go.

Both men came. Noah inside Luke and Luke between their sweaty bodies.

Noah nearly collapsed on top of Luke; his forearms saving Luke's body. Luke held tight to Noah; not wanting any part of this to end. Noah pulled out of Luke; leaving empty but every satisfied. Noah disposed of the condom and laid to the side of Luke. Luke turned to face Noah. He looked at his sleepy boyfriend and suddenly felt the entire world was frozen.

It was just them.

Drifting off to sleep surround by a sea of candles.
