"Okay," Reid said, turning away from Luke. He had just tried to kiss Luke, and Luke had awkwardly pulled away. "Well, tell me what you want to pack up."
"Reid..." Luke tried to interrupt."I'll help you get it down to the car, and then I've got to get back...home."
"Look, Reid, don't do this," Luke said, shaking his head and walking toward his boyfriend.
"Do what? Back away? Isn't that what you just did?" Reid replied, unable to keep the irritation out of his voice.
"Yeah," Luke said, reaching forward and puttiing his hands on Reid's arms, "But not because you did anything wrong. Look...you are doing everything right."
"And that's a problem?" Luke dropped his head and sighed. "Because with very little provocation, I can screw things up again," Reid said, unable to keep a faint smile from playing on his lips as he looked at Luke.
Luke rolled his eyes slightly. He looked Reid in the eyes. "I have never been with anyone but Noah."
"I know that." Why did he have to bring up Noah AGAIN?
"And in my head, I associate all of this with Noah."
Reid shook his head in disbelief. "So it's hard to what? Change gears?" He narrowed his eyes at Luke. "Give me an hour, and I'll give you a whole new set of associations to ponder."
"See...you say things like that, and..." Luke trailed off.
"And what?"
"And you seem so confident."
"Have you ever known me not to be confident? About anything?"
"I guess not," Luke admitted. "But this..." he said , gesturing between himself and Reid. "...you probably have a lot of experience, and I..."
"...have only been with one person." Reid refused to say his name.
Luke sighed and looked at the floor. "Yeah...ya know...what if I suck at it?"
Reid closed his eyes at the absurdity of Luke's worry. "Impossible." He looked for words to alleviate Luke's fears. "Listen, Luke...believe me, you can't do anything wrong here...it's just sex...it's not like it's..."
"Brain surgery?" Luke interrupted, smiling, still not able to look at Reid.
"I was going to say 'rocket science,' but yeah...brain surgery fits too." He reached out and held onto Luke's hand, and Luke finally raised his eyes. "Do you like sex?"
Luke laughed nervously. "Of course I like it."
"Do you like me?" Reid moved his hand to Luke's hip.
"You know I do," Luke said, looking seriously into his eyes.
"That's good because I'm crazy about you," Reid admitted, which made Luke smile brightly and toe at the carpet with his shoe. "Do you think about it?"
"Sex?" Luke asked.
"Sex with me."
Luke looked away and said softly, "All the time."
"Me too." Reid smiled at Luke's embarrassment.
Luke raised his head. "Really? You think about sex with yourself all the time?" he joked playfully.
"No...I think about sex with YOU all the time," Reid answerd and then added sexily, "...especially when I'm having sex with myself."
Luke ran his hand over his face and tried to ignore the heat that suddenly surged through his lower abdomen because of the image that Reid had just put in his head. "Is it getting warm in here?" he asked , as he tugged on the knot of his tie.
Reid leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss to Luke's lips. "I want you, Luke." He put his hand over Luke's, moving it away, and pulling the knot loose before easily unbuttoning only the top button of Luke's shirt with one hand. He kissed Luke's jaw. "I want to undress you, feel your body against mine." He ran his thumb over Luke's adam's apple and felt it bounce as Luke swallowed. Reid moved over to the other side of Luke's head and brushed his lips across Luke's temple and ear. "I want to taste your skin," he murmurred softly, his breathe against Luke's ear causing goosebumps to rise all over his body. Luke pressed his head against Reid's lips. Reid moved to the other side again and sighed against Luke's cheek, "I want to know what you sound like when you come." Luke stifled a moan as Reid dragged his nose lightly across Luke's cheek and down over his jaw until his mouth hovered over Luke's. "I want to be inside of you." He kissed Luke, letting his toungue slide slowly over Luke's bottom lip. "I want to feel you inside of me."
Luke gasped and pulled back, staring at Reid's mouth before lifting his eyes to meet Reid's. "You'd let me do that?" he asked shyly.
"Absolutely," he answered, "Anything, Luke....anything you want."
"But I've never..." Luke said, unable to continue.
Reid closed his eyes against the increased desire Luke's words were causing within him. "All the better," he barely whispered, "I'll be your first." Reid encircled Luke's waist with his arms and pulled him close and buried his face in Luke's neck, kissing the soft skin there. "Let me love you." Luke moved his head to the side to give Reid better access, his breath coming out in ragged puffs, as he struggled to remember why he'd been resisting this. "Want you so bad," Reid said between kisses and nips at Luke's neck. "Need you."
Luke pulled back and held both sides of Reid's head, letting his thumbs travel across his cheekbones and parted lips. He looked into Reid's eyes, which were a darker blue than he'd ever seen them, before Reid pressed his forehead against Luke's and closed his eyes, his hands toying with the hem of Luke's sportscoat.
"I want you too," Luke whispered, all hesitancy disappearing, and then repeated with more conviction, "I want you." He pushed Reid's coat off his shoulders and let it fall to the floor as he ran his hands down his muscular back. His hands went up to Reid's tie and tugged until it was loose, letting it drop to the floor as well. He pulled his own tie up over his head and dropped it next to Reid's. He then started to unbutton his own shirt, but Reid gently pulled his hands away. "Let me," he said, as he brought his lips to Luke's and deftly worked the buttons on Luke's shirt. When he reached the last button he pulled back and trailed his hand from Luke's neck, down over his left nipple, over his ribs, along his side, and to the waistband of Luke's dress pants.
Luke's breath hitched in his throat. "Reid..."
"Shh..." Reid commanded, as he pushed Luke's tan colored coat off his shoulders, Luke's shirt partially coming off in the process. Reid leaned down and kissed Luke's chest before returning his hands to his neck and then running them over Luke's strong shoulders.
Luke's hands went to Reid's gray shirt and fumbled with the buttons, his hands shaking with desire. After each button, he moved his hand inside Reid's shirt, anxious to feel each newly revealed piece of skin, before moving on to the next button. When he reached the bottom button, he went to work on the cuffs of Reid's shirt, dislodging the buttons there. He then loosened his own cuffs before shucking his shirt the rest of the way. Reid let out a small groan at the sight before him and let his hands travel over Luke's torso lightly.
Luke pushed Reid's shirt off his shoulders and let it fall near the other clothes that were pooling on the floor. He then leaned forward and put his mouth on Reid's neck, kissing and sucking, and running his hand into Reid's hair. After a few moments, Reid's arms encircled Luke, and Luke hugged Reid back tightly, their bare chests and stomachs lining up perfectly with each other. Reid shivered and hugged Luke closer. "Luke...I"ve wanted this for so long..." His hands roamed over Luke's back, shoulders, and neck. "...just to feel your skin." He kissed Luke's neck., followed by his shoulder. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but if you're not ready for anything else, this is good. It's perfect actually, and I'd be happy just holding you all night."
Luke pulled back and looked into Reid's eyes before capturing his mouth in a deep, passionate kiss. As they kissed, he turned Reid around and walked him backwards until the back of his legs hit the bed. "Maybe you didn't hear me," Luke panted as he broke the kiss. He pushed Reid hard enough so that he fell back onto the bed. He toed off his own shoes as he lifted each of Reid's feet, removing his shoes and socks. He lowered himself over Reid, pressing their groins together. "I said I wanted you." Reid smiled and pulled Luke's mouth to his.
They then proceeded to make love all night long. There was no train. And they lived happily ever after.
The end.
