Part Seven:When Saturday came Luke walked through the halls of Memorial happily swinging his arms back and forth. He had a date with Reid. He couldn’t remember the last time he felt so excited for something. Lately the thought of Reid made his insides flip. It was even more present every time he looked in a mirror because there on his neck (which ( Read more... )

Part Five:“I hate these things,” Reid complained ( Read more... )

Part Four:

It had been awhile since Luke had been this close to someone. His and Noah’s relationship had always lacked physical intimacy. They could cuddle up together, but somehow this just felt different. Here he was on the couch of his living room, lying on top of someone who he hasn’t even known a week. Their chests and torsos were touching ( Read more... )

Part Three:Reid wasn’t quite sure what the hell he was thinking. Not even a month in this crazy town and he was already mixed up in someone’s crazy plan. He honestly didn’t even know why he agreed to it. Then he remembered getting his first look at Luke Snyder’s delectable ass and thought ‘Yep! That’s it ( Read more... )

Part Two:

“You WHAT!?”

Noah knew that telling Luke wasn’t going to be easy. He thought he might overreact, but he didn’t realize exactly by how much. Luke had a bit of a reputation for being a drama queen. Normally he knew how to deal with it, but today he was struggling from a bit of a hangover and had a headache. Luke was making it just that ( Read more... )

Part One:He remembers the moment exactly; the moment his life changed forever. He remembers how the lights were dimmed, the soft glow overhead bright enough to light the table. He can see the faces of the other men clearly, sweating and looking nervously between the two of them. He still remembers the cocky, arrogant look on the fool sitting ( Read more... )

Luke sat back on the floor of the nursery looking smug as Reid took in the room before him. “I have to say, I’m quite impressed.”

He shrugged, but still continued to grin like an idiot. “I put together Ethan’s crib after he was born. My dad was pretty overwhelmed with everything that was going on and I was trying to take my mind off of my mom so I ( Read more... )

“Oh! There’s my boy!” Emma squealed.

“Hey grandma,” Luke said walking into the kitchen of the farm. Emma pulled him in a tight hug and only released him so she could get to Reid. “Hello dear.”

“Hi Mrs. Snyder.”

“Oh ssshh,” she chastised. “Call me Emma. After all, you’re family now.”

“Grandma,” Luke groaned in embarrassment.

“Well come on, come on. There ( Read more... )

Funerals are never easy. The loss of life is always difficult to bear. The death of a child though, is always unfathomable. You can never utter phrases such as ‘She lived a long, healthy life’ or ‘It was his time’. Children aren’t meant to be buried. It’s just not the natural order of things.

Standing there as the tiny coffin was lowered into ( Read more... )
