"Mmmm. And I'm glad you had ice cream!"
Luke smiled watching the pure satisfaction showing on her face.
"You say that like you haven't had ice cream in years." He said picking up his spoon and delving back into the bowl between them in the floor. She put the spoon in her mouth feeling the cold vanilla slid down her throat. "I just love ice cream."
He looked over at her, she was wearing the shirt he had on only hours before. She was radiant and he couldn't stop looking at her. She stopped with her spoon mid-air and looked at him.
"What?" She said with a smile.
"What are you doing for Christmas?" He asked throwing her off guard.
She stammered for a few minutes then answered. "I'll be spending it by myself. I assume you'll be flying back to London for that."
"What about your family?" He asked, noticing the bowl of ice cream was empty. He laid his spoon down and watched her lick her spoon clean, his mind flashed to earlier in the night, he shook his head.
"My mother died when I was 10 years old. My father joined her last year." She laid her spoon down too, looking up at his face, her eyes sliding down his bare chest over to his broad shoulders. She wasn't sure how she was able to have a cohesive conversation while he had nothing on but his underwear.
"I'm sorry about that." He said, and she could honestly see the sadness in his eyes. Oh those dark beautiful eyes. She noticed they had a gold around the outside which she found endearing.
"It's OK. My parents were strict. I was the only child and after my mother died my father simply put me on lock down. I could go nowhere, do nothing. So as soon as I turned eighteen I moved out." She shrugged, her eyes shining with fresh tears. "I actually hadn't talked to him in five years when he died."
To her amazement he actually looked like he was listening. Interested. She shook her head.
"I'm boring you with this."
He shook his head, his hair moving softly. "Not at all."
"Any man who isn't interesting in everything you have to say is a fool." He said locking eyes with her.
"You really know how to lay it on thick." She said taking a sip of her cool glass of water next to her. He watched her throat as she swallowed it.
"I'm not laying anything on thick. Why is it you always think I'm not telling the truth?"
She looked up at him with a question in her eyes.
"I can see it in your eyes when I talk to you. "
She shook her head. "I have had my fair share of bad relationships." He nodded his head as if to say continue.
She took a deep breath, this should be fun, she thought.
"Look don't think I'm some frail damsel in distress who needs rescuing." She said, a little angry he was trying, and succeeding, in breaking through her well laid out walls around her.
He closed the space between them and slid his hands up her bare outter thighs as she sat Indian style in front of him.
"But why?" He kissed her neck and she almost forgot what they were talking about.
"That's not fair. Keep doing that and you won't get an answer."
He wiggled his eyebrows. "Please excuse me miss. Continue." He kept his hands on her legs, slowly caressing her skin.
"When I was eighteen I moved here, from a small town in Georgia. That's when I met my first boyfriend I ever had. Jackson. He was, what I thought at the time, amazing. Until I let him move in. He was constantly putting me down. 'I should think about exercising more, my cooking was becoming gross, I should clean more often.' " She mocked him, Luke only waited and listened.
"I finally came to my senses and kicked him out. However, I only had one horrible relationship after the other, where the man either cheated or verbally abused me. Finally I met my latest ex. He was great. But alas, in the end he left me too for the skinny bitch down the hall." She finished and to her utter amazement she felt better.
She waited, her face ready to flinch when he laughed at how ridiculous she was being.
He tilted her chin up and kissed her closed eyes. "Their loss." He said with a Cheshire cat smile on his face.
She opened her eyes and her heart clenched at the sight in his eyes.
"I'm not used to all this Luke."
He bit his bottom lip. He really wanted to find the men who had made this woman this way and pull their guts through their asses. She was beautiful, and generous to a fault. The way she cherished her job, teaching children. To top it off she taught in the worst part of town, and loved it.
"Get used to it because I'm not going anywhere. I wish I could stay here with you, but I've got to go back to London earlier than I thought." He finished the last word with his mouth against hers. She sighed.
"When?"
"Tomorrow."
She smiled and nibbled his bottom lip. A renewed heat started in the pit of his stomach, as he slid his hand further up under the tails of his shirt she was wearing.
"I'm going to miss you as much as I hate to admit it." She said, massaging the base of his neck, where his hair lightly touched the place his collar would be.
Lacey's small tattoo on her inner wrist caught his attention. He grabbed her hand and pulled it to his lips. He kissed the tattoo.
'What's the story with it?" He asked running his finger over it. He noticed his thumb could completely cover it, it was so small.
"I got it when I moved here because I love music. The treble clef was something that got me through high school. I loved singing in the choir at school, and it was something that my father couldn't keep me from doing." Lacey smiled. Luke studied the tattoo. The treble clef flanked with two tiny stars on each side. I must be falling in love if I can look at her tattoo and love it. He thought with a small smile on his face.
"I do love a tattoo on a woman. I find it incredibly sexy."
Lacey ran her hand over Luke's shoulder her finger tips lightly grazing his much larger cross tattoo on his back. "And your story is?" She asked very much enjoying the closeness they were sharing. She felt warm, she felt like Luke was wrapping her in his emotions, and she loved it.
"My grandmother got very sick when I was child. She was the light of my life. She died and I was crushed. I felt that I needed to honor her some how. When I turned twenty I was walking down the street and saw a tattoo parlor. I walked in and the rest is history."
"It's beautiful." She lightly touched his jaw, tracing it with her finger.
"So Georgia? That explains that incredibly adorable accent."
Lacey cringed slightly. "You can take the girl out of Georgia."
Luke smirked, and started unbuttoning the shirt of his she was wearing.
"I like you in my clothes. You'll need to wear this more often. Only when we are alone of course." He kissed her now bared chest, making Lacey forget what she was going to say next.
"I don't want other bloke's getting the privilege of seeing you like this." He finished before pushing her back against the large pile of pillows laying on the floor behind her.
He got on top of her, pulling her legs apart. He took his index finger and traced his way down the middle of her body. Slowly, he started in the valley between her breasts, and made his way to her belly button, where he stopped. He looked up at her and smirked, with a possessive look in his eyes. She was still wearing his shirt though it was now open and bared all for his eyes. He was hers, he thought, and he could not wait until he got things settled in London so he could come back and convince her to live with him. Marry him. The thought scared him, he hadn't thought of those words since his ex-wife and ex-partner had run off together.
He reached her underwear and stopped.
"I don't know why you insisted on putting these back on." He slowly started pulling them down. Lacey lifted her hips helping him remove her panties faster.
"I have to have some sense of modesty." She barely spoke the words above a whisper.
"Not when you're with me."
He feasted his eyes on the sight before him. She was fucking beautiful, and the best part was she had no clue. Luke planned on opening her eyes to just how appreciative he could be to her beauty. He started at her feet, kissing the arch of her foot. He kissed her ankle and Lacey moaned softly. He continued his path of kissing her leg until he reach her thigh. He was so close to her vagina she could feel his hot breath on her moisten lips. He took his finger and traced down the valley where her leg met her body.
He leaned down and kissed the ultra sensitive skin there. "Did you know, you have the most adorable freckle right here?" He asked his voice a deep rumble. He placed another kiss on top of the freckle. Lacey squirmed, unable to make her mouth work. He placed an open mouth kiss on her vagina. Lacey could feel the pleasure making its way through her limbs. He slid his tongue into her and slowly brought his tongue to the top of her vagina. He pushed her legs further apart to open her to him. He found her clit and sucked it into his mouth. Lacey's back arched high off the floor and her hands found their way into his hair. He continued alternating between sucking her clit and letting his tongue dive into her vagina.
"Oh fuck."
Lacey couldn't breath. She felt her orgasm looming and she arched her hips to get his mouth exactly where she wanted it. He put two fingers into her and continued to suck and lick her clit.
"You're killing me!" She almost screamed her orgasm ripping through her. She lost all control of her muscles as they began contracting. She pushed his face into her vagina as she came harder than she remembered. Luke groaned as he pulled back slightly and watched her orgasm ripped through her. He kissed his way back up her body.
Lacey's breath was coming out in heavy pants. "I think you pulled some of my hair out love." He said as he kissed her neck. Lacey laughed softly, and rubbed her hand through his hair, and down his back.
Luke brought his mouth to hers and slid his tongue against hers. He moaned softly when she nipped at his bottom lip with her teeth.
"Do you hear bells?" Luke asked amused before it clicked in his mind. Lacey started laughing as he jumped up his erection very obvious through his underwear.
He walked over to his pants which had somehow made their way under the couch.
"How the hell did they get here?" He asked looking back at Lacey. She had closed his shirt and was still laughing, her eyes swimming with tears.
He got his cellphone out of his pocket and recognized the number. His mother. Oh fuck, there might be something wrong, or she could have just forgotten the time difference, it was already almost 10 AM in London.
"Hi mom." He paused as she talked.
"I figured you forgot the time difference. No I'm flying back tomorrow." He smiled and dragged his eyes to look at Lacey. He made an amused face, and walked back over to her. "No you didn't wake me up. I was in the midst of entertaining a breath-taking brunette."
Lacey blushed a deep crimson.
Lacey could hear his mothers voice through the phone. "Mom she's from Georgia, and has the accent to match."
He locked his gaze on Lacey's and licked his lips. He laughed. "Yes you did interrupt my entertainment, oh there was ice cream involved." Lacey started laughing again.
Luke laughed. "No I'm not mom." He held the phone away from his ear. "She says I'm embarrassing you." Lacey got up on her knees and slowly slid her hand up his leg.
"You are."
He put the phone back against his ear. "You're right." He was quiet for a few seconds while she talked. "Who is your favorite son? No! Just because Max has two grandkids for you doesn't mean anything!" He felt Lacey sliding her hand further up his leg dangerously close to his semi-erect penis. He swallowed hard.
"Listen mom, before I go how do you feel about having grandkids with the most beautiful green eyes I've ever seen?" He held the phone away again and Lacey could here her yelling now.
"She's happy." Luke confirmed.
Lacey stood up. Did he say kids...with her? Oh God. She didn't know what to think. He put the phone back to his ear.
"Ok mom. I thought so. Call Max and let him know he's back at second now. Yes. I'll tell her. Currently she standing here in my shirt and nothing else."
Lacey almost died.
