Luke had to wait awhile before Reid finally made it home.
Reid had been about to leave for the day when a head trauma came into the ER which ended up requiring emergency surgery. The patient was a young girl who had been hit on the head with a baseball bat by her drunken father. Reid hated these cases the most. The cases that were completely avoidable. Reid felt drained as he walked into the darkened apartment.
“Hello,” he called out expecting Katie to answerer him.
“Hi Reid,” came Luke’s reply.
“Luke? What the hell are you doing here?” Oh my God, why is Luke here? He’s going to want to talk and I’m really not equipped for that.
“I left you some messages telling you that we needed to talk, you didn’t respond so I came over. We need to talk.”
“Where are Katie and Jacob?” Reid asked in attempt to stall, so that he could regroup.
“Katie and Jacob are spending the night at Tom and Margo’s, so it’s just the two of us and we are going to talk,” Luke stated emphatically.
Traitor, Katie wasn’t planning on staying with Tom and Margo tonight, she left so that Luke and I could bloody well talk. Fuck!!!
“Luke, I can’t talk right now, I’m starving. There isn’t any food in the house so I’m going to head over to Al’s,” Reid announced, pleased that he had found an out.
“Not so fast Reid. I brought a large pizza with everything on it, just the way you like it,. I’ll just heat it up in the oven.”
Shit, shit, shit. What am I going to do now?
“I don’t really feel like pizza tonight,” he lied. “I really want to go to Al’s.”
Luke narrowed his eyes. “Okay, we can go to Al’s but then you’re going to be stuck having this talk with me in public. It’s your choice.”
Reid sighed in defeat. “Fine, you win Luke. We’ll have pizza here.” The last thing Reid wanted was a loud, messy, public break-up.
Luke went to the kitchen and turned on the oven.
“I’m going to have a quick shower, while dinner is heating up. I just came out of surgery and I stink.”
“Fine, but don’t take too long,” Luke warned.
Luke busied himself heating up the pizza. He was encouraged by the fact that Reid hadn’t kicked him out. Yes the other man had tried to escape, but he hadn’t actually fled.
Luke was determined to find out exactly what was bothering Reid and then fix it. He was not prepared to let the other man go without a fight.
Luke got busy heating up the pizza. While he was waiting for Reid he had managed to find a loaf of French bread in the bread box, as well as 1/2 lb of unsalted butter , a head of garlic and a lemon. Since he had the time he decided to whip up some garlic butter for the bread, which he heated along with the pizza. He had made a tossed green salad earlier so he got it out of the fridge and put it on the table. He whisked together some balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and quickly tossed the salad with the vinaigrette.
Reid was reassessing the situation while he was in the shower. Luke is here. Llluuuukkke is here. What does that mean? Well if he really did dump me surely to God he wouldn’t feel the need to come by and dump me again in my own home. Maybe I overreacted, just a bit. On the other hand if things are fine, why didn’t he join me in the shower? Are relationships always this confusing?? On the other hand, oh fuck, I’m out of hands. Oh well who cares? Luke is here. LUKE IS HERE!!!
Reid got out of the shower and got dressed in navy blue sweat pants and a soft, heather grey, Harvard t shirt. He felt refreshed and ready to face Luke. He was pleasantly surprised by the delicious smells emanating from the kitchen.
“Luke you cooked. I thought that you only knew how to make bacon and eggs,” Reid remarked, with a smile.
Luke rolled his eyes. “I can’t really cook, you know that. All I did was toss a salad and make some garlic butter for the French bread that was already here.”
“Sounds and smells like cooking to me. Thanks.”
“You’re welcome. Now sit down and I’ll bring out the pizza.”
Reid did as he was told, noting that Luke had also set the table and put a beer at his place. How did he know that I desperately needed a beer? God I hope we can work this out. I really missed him and I don’t want to let him go.
Luke brought out the pizza, the bread and the crock of garlic butter and set them on the table. He handed Reid the spatula so that he could serve himself first.
“Aren’t you brave, letting me go first. Aren’t you afraid that there won’t be any left for you?”
“I’ll take my chances,” Luke responded with a smile.
Once the men had begun to eat they both began to relax.
“So what’s wrong?” Luke asked finally.
Reid sighed. Why does he have to ruin this by talking? Why can’t I eat and just enjoy having him here with me? He’s going to make me talk about my feelings. UGH.
“Talk to me Reid. I have no idea what’s going on with you.”
Reid shrugged and looked at his plate, which he noticed was emptier than he would have liked; “you broke up with me.”
“I what?” Luke responded feeling absolutely shocked. “What are you talking about?”
Reid looked directly in Luke’s eyes, feeling encouraged by the surprise in Luke’s voice. “The other night you said that you were ‘really going to miss this.’”
“I did? I don’t remember saying that at all.”
Reid glared at Luke, wanting some sort of satisfactory explanation.
“Oh, I wasn’t breaking up with you, you idiot. I just meant that I would miss having you in my bed every night, because my mom was coming home the next day. Is that why you left without saying goodbye?”
“I left you a note,” Reid replied defensively.
“On your business card, yes it was very romantic,” Luke teased. “Why didn’t you wake me up and just ask me what I meant?”
“I tried, believe me I tried but you just kept sleeping. Frankly it was a little offensive that I was having a major freak out and you just slept.” Oh my God, did I just admit to having a freak out? Very attractive, Oliver!
“I’m sorry that I didn’t wake up,” Luke apologized.
Reid shrugged.
“Why didn’t you just talk to me the next day?”
“I tried. I went to Java at just after 10:00 to have coffee with you,” Reid said pointedly, “but you weren’t alone,”.
Luke nodded. “I was with Noah, wasn’t I?”
“Yes.”
“He was boring me to death, why didn’t you come over and rescue me?”
“You looked busy,” Reid replied with a shrug.
“Oh my God, you thought that we were back together, didn’t you?”
“Maybe,” Reid conceded after an extended pause.
Luke reached out for Reid’s hand and Reid grasped it.
“Reid, listen to me carefully, I will never get back together with Noah, never.”
“Never, is a very long time Luke,” Reid pointed out.
Luke stood up and walked over to where Reid was sitting; he reached out with his free hand and took Reid’s. Once he was holding both hands he pulled the older man to his feet. Luke gazed lovingly into Reid’s eyes and willed him to understand. Really understand what he was about to say.
“Reid I am in love with you, only you. I thought that I was in love with Noah and maybe I was, but it diesn’t compare to the feelings that I have for you. I know that I will never go back to Noah because it would be settling for something less than what I have with you. I am not that person. I will never settle.”
Reid allowed the words to wash over him like a warm caress. As he looked into Luke’s gaze he could feel the sincerity of Luke’s words and he too knew that he would never be able to settle for anything less than what he had right now. Slowly a smile began to appear on his face as he allowed himself to truly be happy.
“I love you too, Luke,” Reid said just before he leaned in and captured Luke’s lips.
Luke felt his knees go week from equal parts desire and relief. Reid felt Luke falter and dropped the younger man’s hands so that he could wrap his arms around Luke in attempt to steady him and also be closer.
Luke immediately followed suit, wrapping his arms as tightly around Reid as was humanly possible.
They stood there for a long time, just making out; kissing each other, tasting each other exploring each others mouths. It was heaven.
Reid was the first to crack. “I need you, Luke,” he said pulling his mouth away from Luke’s and staring into the younger man’s dark brown eyes.
The naked yearning in Reid’s voice touched something deep inside Luke and he grabbed Reid’s hand and dragged him to the bedroom.
Luke is here, Luke is here, Luke Is Here!!!
Once inside Reid’s bedroom the two men stripped off their respective clothing. Luke drank in the sight of Reid’s beautiful, naked body.
God he is so beautiful and he’s mine, he’s really mine.
The two men lunged at each other, not able to stay apart for one second longer. Their bodies pressed together each of them revelling in the feel of skin against skin. Each man was rock hard and as they stood together their cocks naturally strained to touch the other.
Reid, finding it hard to stay upright began moving them backward until he felt the backs of his knees touch the side of his bed. He allowed himself to fall backward, pulling Luke down on top of him, managing never to break contact.
Luke was the first to pull away. He took a moment and just stared into Reid’s beautiful blue eyes which were now dark with desire.
He wants me, he really wants ME. Oh my God I can’t quite believe that he REALLY WANTS ME.
Luke finally tore his eyes away from the longing in Reid’s eyes and began kissing the other man in earnest.
He started at Reid’s pulse point, kissing and nipping, before sinking his teeth into the tender skin just below it, needing to mark him. To show the world that Reid was his.
Reid’s sharp inhale of breath encouraged Luke to keep going.
Luke moved over to Reid’s adam’s apple and began laving it with his tongue. He could feel Reid swallow hard with desire.
Reid reached between them to touch Luke’s cock, needing to make contact, but Luke immediately pulled his hand away.
“No, not yet,” Luke murmured.
Reid groaned in frustration and Luke chuckled.
Luke left open mouthed kisses on Reid’s neck until he settled on his other pulse point. He loved the sensation of Reid’s pulse underneath his tongue. He laved it with his tongue and then nipped at it with his teeth before soothing it once more. He loved feeling Reid’s heart rate increase when Luke bit a little bit harder. God he is the sexiest man alive.
Luke moved lower to the spot just above Reid’s clavicle and let his teeth sink into the tender skin. He sucked long and hard, marking him once more.
“Luuuukkkkkeeee,” Reid moaned in pleasure.
Luke continued downward allowing his tongue to taste and tease as much as he wanted. He paused at Reid’s left nipple, carefully sucking and nipping at it and laving it with his tongue while he squeezed and teased the right one with his nimble fingers.
The incredible sounds that Reid made in his throat urged him to continue.
He switched sides not wanting either nipple to feel neglected. Reid began to arch his back and thrust his cock into Luke’s desperate for some friction.
Luke reluctantly moved out of reach.
“Luke you’re killing me here,” Reid managed to get out.
Luke moved slowly downward dipping his tongue into Reid’s belly button. He travelled further south leaving a trail of butterfly kisses in his wake.
Reid kept moaning Luke’s name like a litany and it got increasingly louder as Luke came closer to Reid’s weeping cock.
Luke bypassed it and began running his tongue in circles along the top of Reid’s inner right thigh.
Reid moaned incoherently as the wonderful sensations coursed through his body.
Luke moved over to Reid’s left thigh and began the same process. Then he allowed the tip of his tongue to glide over Reid’s balls.
Holy fuck, Luke is going to kill me!!!
Reid reached out a hand and opened his bedside table and withdrew a bottle of lube and a strip of condoms.
He thrust them at Luke.
Luke stopped what he was doing as he received the lube and the condoms, and looked at Reid quizzically.
“I need to feel you inside me, Luke. I need you to fuck me,” he stated firmly and flipped over so that he was on all fours.
“Are you sure?” Luke asked incredulously.
“Fuck yes!”
Luke paused for a moment. “Can I use my tongue? I really want to taste you.”
“Yesssssssssssss,” Reid hissed out.
He really is going to fucking kill me!!!
Reid grasped the rails in the headboard and hung on while Luke’s magical tongue began exploring his hole.
Oh my God, my tongue is in Reid’s ass. He tastes incredible, musky and earthy and just perfect. I hope he likes this as much as I do. Just then Reid jerked his hips back in an effort to get more of Luke’s tongue inside his ass. I think he does!!!
“Luke…. Fuck ….Me….Now!!!!
Bossy bottom!!
Luke withdrew his tongue reluctantly and quickly grabbed the bottle of lube. He quickly put some into his hand and rubbed it over three of his fingers.
He inserted one finger into Reid’s glistening hole and felt no resistance. He was about to add a second when he heard Reid moan “more!!”
Luke smiled to himself and added a second finger, stretching Reid gently but thoroughly. Reid began to rock his hips and Luke added a third finger. He crooked his middle finger and was rewarded when Reid shivered as Luke brushed against the other man’s prostate.
He allowed his finger to drag over Reid’s sweet spot a few more times.
“Fuck…Me…Now!!!!”
Luke carefully withdrew his hand and quickly sheathed his cock with one of the condoms and lined himself up with Reid’s hole.
He pushed in slowly, allowing Reid to adjust. When he was halfway in he felt Reid tighten around him, and knew that the other man was experiencing some pain.
“Let me in, Reid,” he cooed softly as he leaned over and began drawing circles with his tongue between Reid’s shoulder blades.
He heard Reid breathe in and felt him relax.
Luke began to push forward again. He managed to get all the way in and again felt Reid’s walls constrict. Luke waited for Reid to adjust.
“Fuck me!!!”
Luke stayed still for another minute just enjoying the sensation of being balls deep inside of Reid.
“Luke…Fuck …Me,”
Luke began to move, slowly but purposefully in and out. He changed the angle until he knew that he was hitting Reid’s prostate with each thrust.
Luke was getting close and he could tell that Reid was straining trying to hold back his own orgasm.
Luke reached around and grasped Reid’s cock, stroking it lovingly.
“Come for me, Reid. I’ve got you, just…let…go.”
“Llluuuukkkkeee.” Reid screamed as his whole body seemed to let go as his orgasm rocked through his body.
As Reid released his ass clamped down on Luke’s cock triggering Luke’s own release.
Luke clung to Reid’s back as he felt his orgasm wash over him in waves of ecstasy
Reluctantly he carefully pulled out of Reid and removed the now full condom and tied it off before throwing it in Reid’s garbage can.
Luke repositioned himself along side Reid and gently, but firmly pulled the older man against him.
“Wow,” was all he managed to say.
“Wow,” was all the other managed to answer
