Lorelai slept in on Saturday and spent her late morning showering and primping. She didn't expect to be going to Luke's house, to fall into bed with him with his daughter sitting outside on the couch, but she knew if she didn't primp and prepare, there was more chance that he would get her into an uncompromising position and realize she hadn't shaved or showered and curled her hair so it hung just so. She met Sookie for lunch and they chatted like school girls about the possibilities then hurried home in time to change. After trying on several outfits she finally decided on a light baby blue silken skirt that swished smoothly against her legs as she walked and a black camisole top with spaghetti straps. She decided not to wear tights as her legs were still soft and smooth from her bath and the layers of cream she lathered on that morning so she put on her pumps and grabbed a navy chiffon shawl from the cupboard. She glanced at her watch and realized she was only ten minutes late so with the time it would take her to walk she would be a reasonable and expected fifteen minutes late. When she arrived at the diner she was greeted by Ellie who was sitting at the counter and watching for her. She hurried across to the door to pull it open for her and took her hand to pull her in before closing and locking the door behind them.

"You look amazing!" Ellie said as she eyed Lorelai's outfit up and down.

"Why thank you!"

"I never know what goes with what, it's a total crapshoot when I dress."

"Oh stop, your outfit is really nice." Lorelai clocked the faded jeans with colorful stitching, the bright green sneakers and the dark blue halter top with thick spaghetti straps.

"Please, I got my sense of fashion from my father, which usually only consists of boots, jeans, flannel."

"And the cap," Lorelai said with a smile as they got to the top of the stairs. "Wait…usually?"

"Usually." Ellie turned and smiled at her then pushed the door open and let Lorelai walk in ahead of her.

Lorelai stepped in and spotted the kitchen table had been set complete with a table cloth. There was a soft music playing she couldn't quite place but what really took her breath away was Luke standing by the stove. He was wearing a pair of dark grey slacks and a black shirt. the collar was open, his head was hatless and he was simply smiling at her. She smiled under his gaze and was rooted to the spot as he put the spatula down and crossed the room towards her.

"You look amazing," he said and he leaned in, rested one hand on her waist and kissed her cheek lightly.

"Th-thanks," she said with a blush.

"Sit down," he urged and he pulled out a seat for her.

"Do you want a drink?" Ellie asked as she opened the fridge. "We have beer, wine, juice, water…"

"I opened a bottle of red," Luke said and he pointed across the counter at the wine that was breathing. Ellie grabbed a juice for herself and two wine glasses for the others then poured out a more than generous amount for Lorelai.

"So what's cooking good looking?" Lorelai asked as she sipped her wine and looked at him over the rim of her glass.

Luke looked at her over his shoulder and smiled. "Just some bolognese," he said with a shrug but Ellie scoffed.

"Just some bolognese," she mimicked. "It's only the best bolognese in the country."

"Really?"

"Complete with homemade garlic bread and a tossed salad," Ellie added with a wide grin.

"Sounds amazing…ya know, except for the salad!"

"Yeah well if you don't eat your salad, you don't get any dessert," Luke said over his shoulder

"There is dessert?" Lorelai clapped her hands with excitement.

"Yeah it's-" Ellie started to speak but Luke jumped over and covered her mouth with his hand and hugged her back to him.

"No telling…" he said and he looked down at Ellie. She looked up then nodded her head. "If she doesn't like the dessert then we have no way of making sure she eats her salad."

"Ok," Ellie said with a chuckle and she plonked herself down beside Lorelai.

Luke focused back on the dinner and listened to the easy conversation between Lorelai and Ellie. They talked about clothing and shopping, movies and music. All topics he tried desperately to share with his daughter but failed at every hurdle. It warmed his heart to hear her speaking so animatedly about it now and his affection for Lorelai grew even more at the effort she was clearly putting in.

When their conversation turned to boys and dates his ears pricked and rather than listen to the overall conversation he was focusing on Lorelai's responses to Ellie's innocent questions. Good places to date? Great movies to watch? Conversations to start with when it got awkward and even how to hold hands. Lorelai answered all her questions openly and they joked and laughed as she regaled her with some stories of terrible dates she had had.

"Well at least you went out and tried," Ellie said pointedly and slapped her dad's ass as he passed by them.

"Hush you, Lorelai doesn't want to hear about my dating life."

"Lack of…" Ellie scoffed.

"Oh I could bear to hear a little bit."

"Shame it's time for dinner then." Luke put a bowl of pasta into the centre of the table then a dish full with bolognese. He reached into the oven, giving Lorelai a lovely view of his ass as he bent over and pulled out the garlic bread. He put that on the table as Ellie took the salad out of the fridge. "Okay…dig in." He sat next to across from Ellie with Lorelai seated at the head of the table between them. He took her plate and dished out her food then added a large portion of salad on the side much to her chagrin. "Eat it all up and then you get dessert."

"God you are so demanding!" she moaned but looked up and winked at him.

"Tell me about it!" Ellie sighed as she passed her own plate over to Luke for him to dish her dinner out.

"There'll be no dessert for anyone if I don't see some empty plates."

"Yes Dad."

"Yes Luke."

They both spoke conspiringly and when Ellie lifted a closed fist over the edge of the table Lorelai bumped it with her own fist and they both giggled. "God help me…." Luke rolled his eyes and chuckled with them.

They ate dinner and talked about school, the inn, and the diner. Ellie and Lorelai seemed to take delight in torturing him but he took it in his stride, too happy at the sound of his daughters joy to really mind and when Ellie was distracted by the food in front of her, Lorelai reached under the table and rested her hand on his knee. When he looked up at her she was smiling warmly and he simply returned it. After all the plates were cleared, even after Lorelai's second helping, Ellie carried them to the sink and Luke went to the fridge.

"So we get dessert?" Lorelai said as she clapped her hands.

"Yes."

"What is it?"

He opened the fridge and pulled out a jug of freshly whipped cream then reached back in and emerged with a chocolate silk pie. Ellie and Lorelai "Ohh'd" and "Ahh'd" as he grabbed some plates and spoons then took a large knife from the drawer and sat down to slice.

"Want some?"

"Oh god yes!" she said and she passed him her plate. He dished out everyone's portions then settled in to eat his own. Lorelai moaned when she tasted the chocolate mousse and Luke watched as she dragged the fork out of her mouth. "Oh my god Luke, where did you learn to make a pie like this!"

He dragged his eyes from her mouth and up to her eyes and only then realized she had spoken. "Huh?"

"Never mind." she said with a chuckle.

Ellie finished her pie in record time then stood up and put her plate into the sink.

"Okay dad, I'm gonna go see a movie with Lane."

"Kind of late for a movie isn't it?" he glanced at the clock and saw it was nearly half eight.

"They are showing Grease at the BWR," she explained as this was reason enough to be out later than usual.

"Grease?!" Lorelai's ears pricked up at the name of one of her favorite movies.

"C'mon dad, I'll come straight home after. Its Saturday and I'm finished all my homework!"

"Okay okay, go. But straight home after."

"Thanks," she circled the table and hugged him from behind then hurried out of the flat, her exit being announced by the slamming diner door that made the bells ring out long after she left.

"Dinner was gorgeous," Lorelai said as she stood to clear her bowl and Luke's into the sink. She started the tap and let it run for the hot water to come then put the plug into the drain and started to fill the sink to do the dishes.

"Leave those Lorelai," he said as he stepped away from the table and came round to her side.

"No its, fine, its the least I can do."

"No, I mean…just leave them…" He turned off the tap and pulled her arm so she was facing him then without hesitation he planted a kiss on her lips. Her arms curled around his body and she pressed herself against him then when he licked her lips and pressed his tongue into her mouth she welcomed him with a moan. He pressed one hand into her lower back and caressed it around to her ass then hitched her leg up over his hip and pressed her back into the counter behind her. "C'mon…" He released her long enough to speak then kissed her again before grabbing her hands and pulling her with him to his bedroom.

"Luke…Ellie-"

"Will be gone for a few hours."

"Wow did you guys arrange this?"

"No," he said with a chuckle as he closed his bedroom door.

"Should we put a sock on the door."

"No need," he uttered then pulled her back into his arms.

He resumed his last position but this time kissed her jaw instead of her lips. He moved to her neck, her shoulder, back to her neck to that soft spot below her ear and let his tongue lick the outer shell of her ear. She moaned and tilted her head to give him better access and let her hands roam over his back and front to feel the rippling muscles beneath his shirt.

"You are so beautiful Lorelai," he muttered against her skin, his breath hot and tantalizing as it tickled and made her squirm.

"Wait…wait…" with some effort she pushed him away far enough to look into his eyes and frowned. "Are we about to have rushed sex in your apartment before your daughter comes home?"

"Well, I wouldn't quite put it like that but…yeah." He looked at her to see if he could gauge her reaction to his words. "Don't you want to?"

"Oh no…I do!" she chuckled. "I just want to make sure we're on the same page!"

He growled at her joke and pulled her back against him. His hands on her back found the hem of her top and skimmed beneath it to touch her hot burning skin. She leaned back from him in a signal for him to pull it off her and he acquiesced. When he tossed it to the floor he looked down at her with delight in his eyes to see she wasn't wearing a bra and was now naked from the waist up before him.

"It didn't work with the top," she said as she spotted his gaze and inadvertently jutted her chest out towards him. He wasted no time in covering her breasts with his hands first, kneading them gently then a little more roughly before pulling one into his mouth and suckling on it. She held his head in place and moaned when she felt him roll her nipple between his teeth. He moved his attention to her other breast and let his hand move down to her ass to press her against him so she was sure of the effect she was having on him.

"Wow…" he said as he rasped his tongue on the skin between her breasts and up her throat to the underside of her chin until he reached her lips. He cupped her face in both hands and plundered her mouth with a kiss.

"Amazing."

"Not so bad yourself." Her fingers had managed to open his shirt and she peeled it off his shoulders. He laughed but reciprocated by hooking his thumbs into the waistband of her skirt and slowly tugging it down until it was loose enough to fall to the floor of its of accord. Lorelai now stood before him in nothing but a part of black silken panties and her pumps. She made to toe off her shoes but he stopped her with a chuckle.

"Leave them." he placed his hands on her hips and turned her so her back was to the bed then slowly walked her backwards until her legs hit the mattress. He leaned down to kiss her as he lowered her onto the bed and kept his lips moving against hers without the rest of his body touching her.

When he broke the kiss he had both of his hands balancing on either side of her head, holding himself high above her. Her hands were on his chest, her nails raking from his shoulders through the dusting of hair that tapered off below his trousers. His muscles jerked and twitched under her touch but he made no move to stop her. He kissed her breasts, licked and sucked on her nipples then moved lower and circled her navel with his tongue. Her knees parted naturally and he continued on his journey down her body He nipped on her hip bone, dragged his tongue across the top of her pubic bone and moved his hands down her ribs to cup her ass and lift her towards him. With one glance up at her he moved her legs wider apart then placed his head there in the crux and inhaled. She squirmed and moaned then stretched her hands high above her head making her breasts bounce and dragging his attention away from his task momentarily.

Focusing back on what was literally in front of his face he dragged his tongue along her already damp panties and elicited a guttural moan and a hip jerk from her. He sat back on his haunches and pulled her panties down then resumed his position this time slinging one of her legs over his shoulder. His tongue repeated its earlier motion but this time without the barrier of her panties the sensation was so much more powerful.

"Oh Luke…" she muttered and he almost lost his resolve at the sound of his name on her voice like that. He slipped his tongue between her folds and pulled it up to her clit. He sucked it into his mouth and suckled on it, causing her to reach down and grasp a handful of his hair to hold him in place. She came almost immediately in a wash of breathless moans. "Oh god!" Her voice was full of gravel as she spoke when the sensations faded, and the hand that she had clamped in his hair loosened its grip but encouraged him to keep moving.

Luke took his signals and this time moved his tongue lower, circled her entrance then slipped in and out in a quick motion. She moaned again and thought briefly if this was going to continue she would have to invest in a throat lozenge company. His tongue moved in all the right directions, stormed her up and down, darted in and out of her, lifted her from the mattress to heights she had never experienced and all the while he watched her through hooded eyes enjoying the show she was presenting with way more smugness that she thought he could muster. When she was writhing again, letting his name slip past her lips more than not and her grip in his hair tightened once again he moved his attention back to her clit and flicked his tongue back and forth over it as two of his fingers came to her entrance and slipped in.

"Fuck, oh god…" her hips jerked and she clamped her thighs around his head as her second orgasm bubbled up and popped like a champagne cork from her core, over her spine to her toes. Her voice echoed around the room softening only as Luke slowed his ministrations and eventually stilled. He pulled his head away enough to blow a breeze of cold air over her burning loins then kissed the top and sat back from her. She was a melted puddle on his bed and he had never seen anything like it. Her hair fanned out above her head and one arm was flung up high amongst it. Her other hand was out wide with her fingers curled slightly towards her palm and her legs were still parted, joined by her now glistening crotch.

"Beautiful," he muttered and he crawled up over her and planted a kiss on the hollow of her throat before falling onto the bed by her side and perching his head in his hand as he held himself up on his elbow.

"Hmmm…" was all she could muster, her eyes still closed as she basked in her pleasure.

"Wow…to have rendered Lorelai Gilmore speechless."

"Shhh…" she slapped his chest weakly but turned towards him to snuggle in and he wrapped his arms around her to hold her in place.

They lay like that for a while and Luke stroked her hair back from her face, kissed her forehead and pulled one of her legs to hitch on his hip. When she was sated and fully basked she started to move her hips against him and was surprised to still feel his erection pressing into her hip. She tipped her head up and he kissed her gently but she deepened it without much effort then rolled him onto his back and straddled his waist.

"You, Mr Danes…are wearing way too many clothes." Her hands fumbled with his belt and he lifted his hands to the back of his head and interlocked his fingers. When she got his belt open she tugged on his pants fastening then slowly pulled the zip down, letting her knuckles brush against his cock.

"Careful…" he warned. "That thing's got a hair trigger about now."

She stepped off him and pulled his pants and boxers down and yanked them off his feet she slowly crawled up his body to straddle him again. She kissed his thighs on her way up and his hips and flicked her tongue off the top of his cock but he reached out and grabbed her arms to pull her higher. He tried to kiss her but she avoided his lips instead she hitched herself up on her knees, and reached down to grab his cock. His grip on her arms tightened as if in warning but when he looked down at her hands he watched as she guided him to her entrance. She circled her hips and sank low enough to take in his tip and they both lost a lung full of air at the sensation. She let go of his shaft, moved her hands to rest on his chest and lowered herself to take him in completely. She made to move again but he held her in place.

"No, Lorelai, shit wait…" he tried to hold her in place but she moved her legs to sit up and plunged down on him again. "Oh fuck…" she moved again, and again, each time landing harder and harder. She spread her knees a little wider and took him in deeper then leaned forward to change the angle and make sure his cock dragged along her clit. Luke screwed his eyes shut but the temptation to watch her breasts bouncing before his eyes was too much so he held them open and feasted on the sight.

"You like?"

"Yeah," he managed to get out, his eyes never leaving her breasts. He lifted his hands to cup her breasts and let his thumb drag over her nipples. He lifted his legs a little higher to encourage a deeper angle but he needed her to move faster, harder. His hands gripped her hips and helped her move but it wasn't enough. With a grunt he pulled her off him and rolled her onto her back then followed and plunged right into her again. Her legs came up to his waist but he moved one then the other higher, lifting her left leg to the other side and bracing both of them over his left shoulder. He held her in place with one hand on her hips and the other across her thighs and he pounded into her searching for a release. He was so close but he needed her to be there too. Needed her to pull him over the edge. She was hot and tight, slick with desire and quivered around his cock with every thrust be pushed into her. "Oh god Lorelai."

"Let go Luke, I'm there," she said and she lifted her hands to her breasts, rolled her nipples between her thumb and forefinger the sight of which was enough to kick him up a notch. He moved his hand to her clit and stroked it with two fingers in time with his hips. Her moans and pants became more vocal, more wanton and it was when she said his name again that he finally let go. "Luke."

That was all it took. He broke up inside her, his cock twitched and pulsated against her inner walls and she twitched around him, milking him for all he had to offer until finally the room stilled, their voices silenced and their bodies hummed. Luke dropped her legs to his sides and fell atop of her, boneless and unable to move.

She welcomed his weight and held him tightly against her until finally he moved to the side. He rolled his head towards her and watched her features as she came down from her high. Her brow was furrowed, her lips parted and her eyes closed. It was more beautiful than he was used to seeing and he couldn't resist reaching out to touch her. He brushed the back of his fingers against her cheek and her eyes fluttered open.

"Hey…" he muttered and smiled.

"Hi."

"You're amazing."

"Thanks. I try." she said with a smile and rolled over to face him. He did the same and their hands met and connected in the middle.

"You are very trying," he said with a smile.

"Makes the reward all the better."

"I can't argue with that." He leaned in and kissed the corner of her mouth.

"You know what I would love right now?" she said as she drew soft circles on his upper chest.

"Still want more? Aren't you satisfied yet woman?"

"Some more of that pie."

"Pie I can do." He kissed her again then stepped off the bed and stood to look down at her for a moment more.

"You're beautiful."

"Why thank you, kind sir."

He fished his pants up off the floor and pulled them and his boxers on then grabbed a clean tee from the dresser and wore that too.

"You want that pie in bed?"

"No, I'll be out in a minute. I just want to use your bathroom first."

He leaned over her and kissed her again then walked out to the kitchen to finish cleaning and get some pie. When Lorelai appeared again she was dressed back in her outfit, minus the shoes, a curious juxtaposition from what she was wearing moments ago. Her face was glistening from the water she had splashed over it but there was color in her cheeks and a sparkle in her eyes. She came up behind him and circled his waist with her arms before she rested her head on his back and leaned against him. He finished the dishes then walked to the fridge with her still connected to him.

"This would be a lot easier if you went and sat down."

"But I don't want to."

"But pie!" he offered.

"But Luke is better than pie."

"He is?" he turned in the circle of her arms and smiled widely at her. "Never thought I'd hear you say those words."

"Pie can't make me feel what you just did."

"Not even chocolate silk pie?"

"Not even."

"Good." He kissed her forehead then took the remnants of the pie and a fork and walked with her to the couch. He sat at the end and rested one leg along the back of it, the other was planted on the ground and he pulled her down to nestle between them, resting her back against his chest. "Here." He put the pie on her lap and held out the fork to her.

"Don't you want any?"

"Not really, I just want you to have some."

"Aww you can't make me eat pie alone."

"You're not alone, I'm here." He squeezed his arms around her and kissed her neck. She cut off a piece of the pie and scooped it up on the fork then held it out to him to take. "No really, I'm fine."

"Luke…" the tone she used was the same as she had used earlier while he was buried deep inside her, quivering against her inner walls and made him orgasm hard and even now while he didn't think he would be able to get it up for a while it was still powerful and he felt his cock twitch against her ass. He knew she felt it too when she clenched the cheeks of her ass against him and chuckled. She held the fork closer to his mouth and this time he took it without protest. Luke switched on the TV because he knew that if he kept watching her eat that pie and she kept using that tone against him whenever he refused, it would be no time before he lifted her off the couch and onto his lap to bury himself into her. Luke chuckled and realized he would keep refusing to make her use that tone. But he had to restrain himself, had to keep his mind off her ass against his crotch or her breasts just being above his arms that rested on her waist.

He flicked through the stations until he came to a ball game and despite her protests kept the remote out of her reach, enjoying thoroughly her body squirming against his as she tried to get it out of his grasp. She tried to say his name, tried to use that tone against him again but he covered her mouth with one hand and stopped her.

"Not this time," he said. He felt her tongue appear and lick his fingers but he held fast for a moment then looked down at her pleading and smiling eyes. "You done?" she nodded. "You won't use that tone?" she shook her head. "Promise?" he released his grip from her mouth and she smiled.

"I promise Luke," she said using the very tone he needed her to avoid. With a predatory growl he tipped her head back and tilted her face to kiss her gruffly. He plunged his tongue into her mouth and wrestled with hers in swift circular motions.

"Careful," he said when he tore his lips off hers. "You use that tone and I can't be held responsible." he kissed her lips, this time keeping his tongue in his own mouth and turned back to the tv to focus on the ball game. Lorelai finished the pie, even managed to get him to eat a few more bites then settled in to watch the game with him only asking new questions every few minutes. He narrated the action on the screen and called out the players stats but no matter what he said she turned it round into some sexual innuendo. He poked her ribs and and tickled her to get her to stop and that was how Ellie found them.

Lorelai was breathless from laughing and Luke had a wide grin across his face. She thumped her way up the stairs and came in singing a song from the movie loud enough to stop them from doing something she didn't want to see, but when she caught them laughing on the couch and watching baseball she smiled.

"Hey you two."

"Hey honey, how was the movie?"

"Amazing." she grabbed a juice from the fridge and strolled over to sit into the armchair next to the couch. Lorelai and Luke resettled in their seats.

"As usual!" Lorelai chimed in. "I mean it's Grease, how could it not be!"

"Imagine if they remade it!"

"Well it used to be a play. But I prefer the movie. They tend to kick you out of a theater when you sing along."

"No such rules at the BWR"

"Good to know."

"Usually they do a musical season on during the summer. you should check it out."

"Oh, I will!"

"Anyway, I'm gonna go to bed. Goodnight Dad…see ya Lorelai." she slurped the end of her juice and tossed it into the trash as she walked through the kitchen and into her room.

"Goodnight honey." Luke called out and Lorelai simply smiled. When the door to Ellie's room closed she leaned back into Luke and sighed.

"She is amazing Luke."

"Yeah, despite-"

Lorelai cut him off before he could finish that line. "No, all thanks to you. You did a wonderful job."

"Thanks." he said with a slight blush and turned his attention back to the ball game. "So…um…"

"Wait, before you say what I think I know you are going to say, don't."

"No?"

"No. Because if you ask me, I will say yes."

"And you don't want to," he said flatly as he tried to hide the disappointment from his voice.

"No, it's not that, I do want to but I think…I think you and Ellie have these next few weeks together before she leaves and I don't want to encroach."

"You wouldn't be encroaching."

"Have breakfast with her tomorrow Luke. And every morning you can. Take all the moments you can to share with her, just for, the next few weeks and we'll have all the sleep overs you want after that." Luke nodded. He didn't like to admit she was right, but he knew she was. He squeezed her back against him and kissed her temple. "And on that note, I'm going to take my leave."

"So early?"

"It's just after eleven." She wrangled out of his grip and stood up. She went into his room to retrieve her shoes and slipped them on with one hand on the door frame to keep her from falling and he approached her to gather her into a tight hug when she was ready. Now that she was in her shoes and he was barefoot, and with her 4" heel it brought them to near equal height. "Thanks for dinner. I had a great time."

"Open invitation, you are always welcome." He kissed the crook of her neck as he spoke and let his hands roam over her back. "Let me walk you down to your Jeep," he said as he released her from his hug and took hold of her hands.

"No that's ok, stay here," she protested.

"Lorelai, I'll walk you to your Jeep." He spoke firmly and she realized she wasn't going to be able to convince him otherwise.

"Hmm you might need shoes then."

"I'll be fine. Where did you park?"

"Outside my house."

"You walked here?"

"Yeah, it was a nice night."

"Okay then...I'll walk you home." he spoke over his shoulder as he went into his room and pulled on his shoes and socks then grabbed a sweater and met her back by the apartment door.

"Luke no, seriously. I'm fine. Stay here, you can't leave Ellie on her own."

"She'll be fine for ten minutes." He took her hand and led her out of the diner. he paused to lock up behind him then took her hand again and walked her home. She released his hand and slipped her arm around his waist and he draped one arm over her shoulders and held her against him.

"I really did have a wonderful evening."

"Good." he said and kissed her temple.

"I'm glad we…" her words trailed off as she tried to verbalize her thoughts.

"Me too." he stated simply. He stood at the bottom of her porch as she climbed the stairs and opened her door. "Good night Lorelai."

"Good night."

"See you tomorrow?"

"Girl's gotta eat!" she smiled and waved as he started to back away then when he turned to walk home she closed the door and locked up.
