Luke woke up sometime during the night, his body wrapped around Reid’s. He felt the soreness of his body and smiled.

After their first round of sort-of-emotional sex, Reid thought he had to prove his masculinity or something and had proceeded to blow Luke’s mind over and over again, taking him three times in the next couple of hours. Reid had a ( Read more... )

Chapter 35Reid had dragged Luke off to the bedroom, obviously very eager to finish what they had started in the living room. But once inside, Luke pulled his wrist out of Reid’s hold and stopped him ( Read more... )

Chapter 34

Luke was nervous. Until now he had never been the one to go after someone. People always came to him, because of his name, his status as a soccer player and his fame. And with Reid it had been pretty much the same thing. He'd let Reid chase after him, come after him while Luke had made the rules.

It had been Lucinda who opened his eyes ( Read more... )

Chapter 33

Luke and Casey were laughing their way through dinner, easily picking up their childhood friendship. Noah barely added something to the conversation, shoving fries into his mouth and biting into his burger with more ferocity than really was necessary.

Luke tried to get Noah involved in the conversation, but gave up after a number of ( Read more... )

Chapter 32

Luke couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His mother wanted him to hook up with some random girl just so he could look heterosexual. Even if he was straight, he wouldn’t want to use somebody like that.

By the time she figured out that the sound she was hearing were Reid’s footsteps coming ( Read more... )

Chapter 30

After watching the lost match against Brazil with Renée, Reid had a few beers with her to drown their sorrows. After some time, he made his way towards his bedroom, pulling his phone out of his pocket with Renée hot on his heels.

He sat down on his bed, fiddling with his phone. He was trying to decide whether or not to call Luke. He'd ( Read more... )

Chapter 29

Luke was dressing himself for breakfast, when there was a tentative knock on the door.

“Luke?” A voice called out which Luke instantly recognised.

He moved towards to the door and opened it with a big sigh. “Yes?”

“Uhm.. hey.” Mike said tentatively. “How are you?”

“Still pissed, but okay, I guess.” Luke replied, leaning against the ( Read more... )

Chapter 28

Reid didn’t understand. He didn’t understand it at all.
He hadn’t heard from Luke since he had left him standing in his hotel room; since Reid had declared his love for him and bolted for the door.

Before he had said it, he was almost certain Luke felt the same way. After the night they spent together, he had felt such strong ( Read more... )
