Original Prompt: PROMPT #18
Noah woke to warmth and comfort and it felt amazing. At some point during the night he’d ended up on his back with Luke curled into his side. His head was on Noah’s chest and Noah was pretty sure Luke was drooling a little. It was adorable.
Looking over at the clock on the stand beside the bed, he saw that it was just after 7 in the morning. They’d been asleep for more than 8 hours. Noah couldn’t remember the last time he’d slept for more than a couple of hours at a time.
The blanket had slipped down to their waists and Noah could feel Luke starting to shiver a little, so he pulled it up slowly, trying desperately to not wake the other man. He was determined to have this moment last a little longer.
Looking down at Luke sound asleep in his arms, Noah could hardly believe it was real. He’d never in his life gone to sleep with someone and woken to find them still there. Sex had been quick fumbles in the dark or drunken hookups that had left him wanting more.
He smiled as he tightened his hold on Luke. This was something he’d only dreamed about, especially since he’d come to Oakdale.
Luke shifted in his sleep, innocently rubbing his cheek against Noah’s nipple and the erotic feeling of his morning stubble against the sensitive skin had Noah’s breath catching in his throat and his cock hardening in his boxers.
Noah took a couple of deep breaths, trying to keep his body relaxed, but even in his sleep, Luke responded to the tension building in Noah’s body. He moaned and wiggled closer, worming his arm around Noah’s waist and sliding his leg across his thigh.
Noah was suddenly made aware of the hard length of Luke’s cock pressed against his hip and he groaned when the other man started rubbing himself again him.
The noise had Luke stirring and Noah looked down to see his eyes fluttering open and looking sleepily up at him. “Mmmm, hey.”
Noah smiled. “Good morning. How are you feeling?” He rubbed his hands up and down Luke’s back, loving the feeling of the sleep warm skin under his fingertips.
“I think I’m supposed to be asking you that.” Luke stretched and yawned and then snuggled in a little closer. The feeling of so much of Luke pressed against him was almost too much and Noah couldn’t help the quiet moan that forced its way out of his mouth.
Luke looked up sharply. “What’s wrong, did I hurt you?” Noah’s neck and torso were still littered with the fading bruises that the fight had left behind.
Noah grinned sheepishly. “Nope, not hurt exactly.” He nudged his hip against Luke’s groin and waited for him to get it. Noah could almost see the moment the light bulb went on.
The blush started at his neck before spreading up his cheeks and down over his chest. “Oh…sorry.” He didn’t pull back though and Noah hugged him tighter.
“Don’t be. I’m not.” Luke’s smile at Noah’s words was breathtaking. Leaning up, he nuzzled into Noah’s neck and kissed him under the hinge of his jaw, making him shudder.
“If you keep doing that, we aren’t going to make it to the farm anytime soon.” The last thing he wanted to do was get out of bed, but the Snyders were expecting them. “And we need to talk.”
Luke sighed and then nodded. “Okay, I’ll behave.” He slumped back down so he was lying against Noah’s chest again. “What do you want to talk about?”
“I want to stay in Oakdale…if you want me to. I love it here and I think it’s a place I could really make a home. I’ve never had that and I want it.” He kissed the top of Luke’s head before continuing. “But I can’t live at the farm. I’ve lived on my own for too long to be comfortable with that. I need my own place and some privacy. Your family is amazing Luke, but there is no privacy in that house.”
Luke chuckled. “I know what you mean. I love them, but never being alone for more than five minutes gets to me sometimes.”
“And I’m going to find someone to talk to. A professional I mean. I have some things I need to work through and I think I need help to do it. It’s not just army stuff. It’s my parents too. I’d like to share it with you too, if you’ll let me.” He didn’t want to push Luke, but he wanted him to know that Noah wanted him to be a part of his life.
Luke nodded. “That’s a good idea.” He pressed a kiss over Noah’s heart. “Maybe I could talk to them too. And Noah, you can tell me anything you want. I’ll always want to listen to you.”
He could feel a lump rising in his throat. Luke was still so incredibly giving after all that he’d been through and most amazing of all was that he wanted to be with Noah. “Okay. That sounds good. And thanks.”
Luke looked up at him and smiled before pushing off of him and sitting on the edge of the bed. “I’ll be back.” Switching on the lamp, he nodded toward the bathroom before getting up and quickly disappearing through the door. Noah stayed where he was, relaxing with his hands behind his head as he waited for his turn.
When Luke came out, he looked around the room, his eyes coming to rest on the brightly wrapped packages. “What are those?”
Noah had forgotten about the presents he’d bought. “They’re for you and your family. I was going to have someone drop them off later.”
Luke’s eyes widened and then got suspiciously glassy. “You bought us presents? Why?”
Noah shrugged. “Because I wanted to. I never really had anyone to buy presents for and I had been looking forward to it.” Sitting up, he scooted back until he was resting against the headboard. “I saw Ethan’s first and it sort of snowballed from there.”
Luke shivered as he stood in the middle of the room wearing nothing but his boxers and it was bugging Noah like crazy. “Baby, come back to bed and get warmed up. You’re freezing.”
Luke smiled and scrambled for the bed, diving under the covers where Noah had lifted them in invitation. He didn’t stop there, though. He climbed right up into Noah’s lap and straddled his hips as he grabbed Noah’s face with both hands and pulled him in for a kiss.
This was not the chaste kiss of the night before. It was hot and wet and completely took Noah’s breath away. When Luke finally broke away, his lips were slick and kiss-swollen and he looked completely debauched. Noah had never seen anything more beautiful.
“Not that I’m complaining, but what was that for?” Noah lifted one hand and brushed Luke’s bangs back. He’d been right that first day. There was a small scar there and Luke was hyper-aware of it. Even now he ducked away a little, trying to hide it. Noah curled his hand around Luke’s neck and pulled him down so the he could kiss the scar gently before pushing him back a little to wait for his answer.
“You saved me and I didn’t even say thank you. He beat you…” Luke trailed off for a second as he traced some of the bruises on Noah’s chest with his fingers. “He beat you and then you walked away to make sure I wasn’t scared anymore and we stupidly let you go.”
Noah shook his head. “Luke I didn’t blame you.”
Luke lifted his hand and softly put his fingers on Noah’s lips, quieting him. “I know you didn’t. You blamed yourself and that was stupid. You didn’t do anything wrong. It was just my messed up head that twisted things around. And he’s the one who messed it up, not you.” He leaned down and kissed Noah again, this time more tenderly. “And you still got us presents.”
Noah stroked his hand up and down Luke’s arm, smiling a little sadly. “I hated that you were scared of me. I could never hurt you. I’d rather hurt myself. But I can see why you were scared. All you saw was violence. How were you supposed to tell the difference?”
Luke slid both arms around Noah’s neck and ran one hand up into the back of his hair, massaging the tension he found there. “Thank you Noah. Thank you for saving me and for leaving to give me time and for letting me in and listening to me last night.”
Noah wrapped one arm around Luke’s waist and let the other fall to the soft skin just above his boxers. “You’re welcome. Thank you for coming to find me.” He nuzzled into the side of Luke’s neck, breathing deeply to take in the smell of Luke’s soap and cologne. Unable to resist, he licked the skin behind Luke’s ear causing him to gasp and squirm in Noah’s grasp.
“Oh god, that feels so good.” Luke tipped his head to the side to give him more room and Noah took advantage of it, licking and sucking until Luke was writhing in his lap.
“You taste good.” Noah let his hand slide down to knead Luke’s ass cheek through his boxers. “We need to stop Luke. I’m not going back to the farm right after having sex with you.”
Luke pushed upright a little, putting one copper colored nipple right in front of Noah’s mouth. He looked down at Noah with a surprisingly naughty smile and leaned forward to rub it against his lips. “No privacy there, remember? We won’t be alone for a couple of days at least.”
Noah groaned and sucked the sensitive nub into his mouth. He’d known Luke wasn’t a virgin but he’d had no idea that under the innocence and sweetness that made him look like an angel there was a horny little devil.
Noah worked the nipple until it was peaked and red and then Luke used the grip he’d found in Noah’s hair to move him over to tease the other. The breathy moans made Noah’s cock twitch in his boxers and the feeling of Luke rubbing himself against Noah’s stomach was overwhelming the part of him that had wanted to wait.
Luke pulled back and looked down into Noah’s eyes. “We can wait if you want to, but I’m not going to break. I want this…want you…so much I can’t even begin to tell you.”
Noah searched his face, looking for any doubt…for any clue that this was just gratitude. All he could see was desire and affection. There was no fear, no worry and Noah couldn’t hold back anymore.
Using the grip he had on Luke, he quickly pushed up and spun them around so that Luke was underneath him. Looking down into those caramel colored eyes, he could see how much Luke liked the manhandling, but he still wanted to be careful.
“You have to tell me if I’m pushing you too hard, or scaring you. I won’t do anything you want, I promise.” Noah was trying to be serious but Luke just grinned up at him.
“I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t trust you. I know you won’t hurt me.” He used his foot to gently push Noah back until he sat on his heels and then wiggled out of his boxers and kicking them to the floor.
He lay there, looking vulnerable and wanting and there was nothing in Noah that was willing to deny him anything. He quickly got up and rid himself of his own underwear and then crawled back up onto the bed until he was settled between Luke’s thighs.
The first brush of their bare cocks together had them both groaning. Luke lifted his legs and wrapped them around Noah’s lean hips, holding him close while they kissed lazily.
“Whatever you want, Luke. Whatever you’re ready for.” He rocked forward, the dry slide of skin on skin was a little painful but completely erotic.
Luke whined and pushed his heels into the flesh of Noah’s ass, trying to get more friction. “Everything…I’m ready for everything.”
“Oh god.” Condom’s…he needed condoms. He searched his brain and finally remembered there were some in his duffel. “I’m just gonna get some condom’s and find something for lube.”
Luke let him go and nodded. “Bathroom. I saw some lotion in there.”
Noah scrambled off the bed and ran to the bathroom first. The lotion was on the counter and he grabbed it before running back and grabbing his duffel. There were a few tense moments when he didn’t think he would find them and ended up dumping the whole thing on the floor.
Luke chuckled from the bed and Noah looked up to find him stroking himself slowly. “You’re gonna kill me, I swear to god.”
Grinning wickedly, Luke rolled his hips up into his hand, moaning quietly as the pleasure washed over him. “Hurry up, baby. I need you.”
Noah cursed and pawed through his stuff on the ground, smiling gleefully when they finally came into view. He bounced to his feet and stalked toward the bed.
He climbed onto the bottom of the bed and knee-walked up until he was between Luke’s legs and tossed the condoms and the bottle of lotion beside him. “You look so beautiful Luke.”
Luke ducked his head shyly and looked up at him from under his bangs. “Thanks.” He looked so sweet and Noah couldn’t help leaning down and plundering his mouth, thrusting his tongue in and tasting every bit of it until they were both breathless.
When he pulled back, their eyes locked and Luke never looked away once as he picked up the bottle of lotion and flipped the cap before taking Noah’s hands and pouring it over his fingers. “You need to get me ready. It’s been a while.”
The way Noah’s cock twitched at Luke’s words would have been comical if it hadn’t been so painful. When Luke rolled over and lifted his ass in the air, he had to reach down and squeeze his cock to stop himself from coming. “I wanna look at you.”
Luke looked over his shoulder and smiled softly. “You will. But I can only hold my leg up for so long before it starts to hurt, so if you don’t mind, I’ll get comfortable while you touch me.”
“I’m sorry sweetheart. I forgot.” Noah stretched out until he was on his side and pressed all along Luke’s back. He kissed the nape of his neck as he let his fingers wander down to push between the cheeks of Luke’s ass.
Luke turned his head to look at him. “Good. I’m glad that when you think of me, that’s not the first thing that comes to your mind.”
Letting one finger circle Luke’s hole gently, he nipped at his shoulder and then licked over the small sting. “Nope…not even close.”
Luke moaned as Noah slid one finger into the first knuckle and crooked it, feeling around for Luke’s prostate. He knew he found it when Luke shuddered and bucked back against his hand.
“God Noah, please.” Noah grinned and slid his finger in and out a few more times before slipping a second one in beside it. The sweet sounds falling from Luke’s mouth got louder and louder as Noah stretched him until three fingers were moving easily.
“I need to do this now, baby, or I’m gonna come before you get inside me.” Luke’s voice was low and rough as he begged Noah for relief.
Noah reluctantly pulled his fingers free and wiped them on the sheet before urging Luke onto his back. “What’s the best way for you to do this?”
Luke lifted his good leg and put it over Noah’s shoulder before wrapping the other one around his waist and using it to pull him in. “Just like this is about perfect.”
It was the sexiest thing Noah had ever seen and he had a moment of disbelief that he was the lucky bastard who got to have Luke this way. He reached for the condom and rolled it on and quickly used the lotion to slick himself up. He tossed the bottle away and looked up at Luke. “Okay?”
Luke nodded and Noah carefully pressed in past the first ring of muscle before pausing to wait for Luke to adjust. He waited patiently until Luke nodded and then pressed in slowly but surely until he bottomed out. “God you feel so good.”
Luke bucked up against him. “Move, Noah…please.”
Noah leaned in and kissed him before sitting back on his heels and took a hold of Luke’s thighs. Using the grip as leverage, he pulled out and slid back into the silky heat. Luke reached up and grabbed his wrists and hung on while Noah thrust in and out.
He moaned quietly as Noah adjusted his angle until he was hitting Luke’s prostate with every push in. “God Luke. You should see yourself. Fucking gorgeous.”
Luke shook his head. “No…you are. Look so good in me.”
Noah let Luke’s leg slide off his shoulder and down to his waist so he could lean forward over him as he fucked into him. Luke reached up and pulled him down so they could kiss and it was the most amazing thing Noah had ever felt.
Luke’s cock was trapped between them and he could feel it hot and sticky as it rubbed up against him. He lifted one hand to work between them but Luke swatted it away. “Don’t need it. Gonna come just from this.”
And if that wasn’t the hottest thing Noah had ever heard, he didn’t know what was. “Not gonna last. You need to come soon, baby.”
Luke nodded frantically and pulled Noah’s head back in, arching his back as they kissed to put more pressure on his cock. “Soon…almost there. Faster.”
Noah picked up the pace, thrusting as fast as he could as Luke made little grunts with each one.
Then Luke’s eyes widened and Noah could feel him getting tighter around him as his orgasm hit him hard. It was like electricity was running through Luke’s body and he screamed Noah’s name as he came.
Noah lifted up and grabbed Luke’s cock, wringing as many aftershocks as he could out of him before letting go and finally giving in to his own pleasure. A few more thrusts and Noah fell over the edge, letting his own orgasm overwhelm him as he leaned his head on Luke’s shoulder.
When the last spasm had passed, Noah let himself fall, so boneless he was barely able to keep from squashing Luke as he fell.
They both lay there panting, and once Noah caught his breath, he grabbed a couple of tissues from the box on the nightstand, wrapping the condom in one and cleaning Luke up as best he could. When he was finished he tossed them on the floor and leaned down to kiss Luke tenderly.
“You’re kind of amazing.” It was sappy, but Noah didn’t care. It was how he felt. Luke’s answering smile was like the sun coming out.
“You’re not so bad yourself.” Luke hands ran restlessly over Noah’s skin, making him twitch.
Noah peppered kisses over Luke’s face and chest before letting himself relax with his head on Luke’s shoulder. “Oh man, how am I gonna look your grandma in the eye?”
Luke chuckled. “Don’t worry, you can avoid her and talk to the other one today.”
Noah groaned. “Luke, exactly how much of your family is going to be at the farm for Christmas?”
Luke shrugged. “Uhm, probably all of it?”
Noah froze. “And how many people is that?” He could feel the panic growing in his chest and if he wasn’t careful he just might throw up.
“I don’t know, probably around thirty people or so? Not everyone will stay for dinner.” Luke stroked Noah’s head, distracting him just a little.
“Did I mention I suck at meeting families? Or that I’ve never actually done that before? I’m not good with people Luke.” Noah was terrified. They were all going to hate him.
Luke smacked him on the shoulder. “They aren’t going to hate you, baby. They’re gonna love you.”
Noah blushed apparently nerves made him say things out loud he hadn’t meant to. “Can I hide with Ethan for a while?”
Luke chuckled. “We’ll work out a secret signal or something for if it gets too much. Ethan and I will have your back.”
“Okay.” Noah sighed and closed his eyes for a few moments as he tried to make his heart slow down and stop trying to kill him. “We should get out there soon I guess. They’ll probably need help.”
“Yeah.” Luke pulled him up for a kiss. “I wish we could stay here all day though.”
Noah grinned at him. “That would be nice. Except I’m looking forward to Emma’s Christmas baking; and her sweet potatoes.”
“You’ve never had a real Christmas dinner, have you?” It was more of a statement than a question. Luke kissed him hard and then pushed him away so he could get out of bed. “I’m gonna make sure that this one’s perfect!”
Noah put his hand over his mouth to hide his smile. Nothing was ever going to be as sexy and adorable as Luke standing beside the bed naked, with his hands on his hips and determination in his eyes. “Maybe you should put some clothes on first?”
Luke looked down at himself and blushed. “Uh, yeah, that would be good. Maybe after a shower.” He walked toward the bathroom but stopped to look back over his shoulder. “Wanna join me?”
If he hadn’t come his brains out two minutes before, Noah’s cock would have been hard as a rock from the view. It took him a second to get his brain back in gear.
“No. Bad idea if we want to get out there before dinner. You go ahead, I have a call to make.” Noah made himself a promise that Luke naked and wet was going to happen someone soon.
Luke smiled shyly at him and disappeared into the bathroom. As soon as he heard the water start, Noah grabbed his phone and looked at the time. Almost 9 am. Hopefully it wasn’t too early.
A quick conversation with the woman who had Luke’s puppy and the arrangements were made. When Luke was done in the shower, Noah took his turn. By the time he was done, Luke had packed most of his stuff and one look at his face made it clear that Noah wouldn’t be coming back to the cheap motel.
They loaded everything into Noah’s truck and kissed goodbye before Luke got in his car. Noah assured him that he just had one stop to make and he’d be right out. Luke nodded and waved and then pulled out of the parking lot and onto the highway. Noah watched him go until he was out of sight and then jumped into his truck and followed the directions the woman had given him to her house.
Once the puppy was settled in the carrier that had been carefully buckled into the passenger seat, Noah and his nerves were on the road to the farm. He wondered how strange it was that he talked to the dog the whole way.
When he pulled into the yard he found a place to park and sat in his truck for a few moments. It was like his first day there, nervous and unsure of his reception only for different reasons this time.
And just like the first day, Ethan was the first one out of the house to greet him. The porch door flung open and the boy was down the steps and across the yard in the time it took for Noah to get his truck door open.
This time though, Ethan didn’t stop. He launched himself into Noah’s arms from 5 feet away and Noah caught him easily.
“Hey little man. I missed you too.” Ethan’s arms clung to Noah’s neck as they stood there in the quiet. He waited until Ethan relaxed and then pulled his head back to look at his face. “You okay?”
He pretended not to notice as Ethan wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and then nodded. “Yeah. I just missed you. I’m glad you’re back.”
Noah hugged him again. “Yeah, me too.”
The puppy chose that moment to whine for a little attention. Ethan’s head whipped around and he wormed his way out of Noah’s arms and into the truck. “Oh Noah…it’s awesome.” He looked at Noah with hopeful eyes. “Is it for me?”
Noah chuckled. “Afraid not, sport, but don’t worry. I got you something just as awesome.”
Ethan looked confused for a second and then grinned. “Noah…you got Luke a puppy? Oh my god, you are going to be like the best boyfriend ever!”
“You think he’s gonna like it?” He was still a little unsure about it.
Ethan giggled at him. “He’s gonna love it.” He unbuckled the carrier and pulled it toward the door. “Come on, poor thing has to be freezing.” He paused and looked at Noah. “You weren’t going to try hiding him until tomorrow, were you?
Noah shook his head. “Nah. I have a couple other small things he can open tomorrow. Let’s go show him.”
Ethan hopped out of the truck and got out of the way so Noah could grab the carrier. “Where is he?”
“He’s in the barn with Magic. It’s a good place for them to meet.” Ethan looked unsure for a second. “Can I come? Or is it private.”
Noah reached out and ruffled his hair. “Of course you can come. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
Ethan grinned happily and grabbed Noah’s hand, pulling him toward the barn. “Let’s go. I can’t wait to see his face!”
They opened the door and Ethan went in first, followed by Noah. There were no lights on and in the dim glow from the windows, they managed to get almost all the way to Luke before he noticed what Noah was carrying.
Luke walked up and kissed Noah on the cheek. “What do you have there, Noah?”
Noah set the carrier on the bench by the window. “It’s your Christmas present. Why don’t you open it?”
Luke straddled the bench and sat down, looking at Noah and Ethan suspiciously before opening the carrier door. It didn’t take the puppy long to toddle out into Luke’s lap.
It was black and fluffy and got right upon his hind legs with his paws on Luke chest and started licking his face. Noah could see that Luke was trembling as he gathered the little dog into his arms and cradled against his chest.
“Is it okay Luke? You don’t have to…” Noah was cut off when Luke held the puppy with one arm and held out his free hand for Noah to help him to his feet.
“He’s perfect, baby. I can’t believe you did this for me.” Luke wrapped the arm not holding the puppy around Noah’s neck and pulled him into s fierce hug. “Thank you.” Curling his hand around Noah’s cheek, leaned up and kissed him softly.
“Eww, I’m gonna have to see this sappy stuff a lot now, aren’t I?” Ethan was trying really hard to sound disgusted but couldn’t quite make it.
Luke let go of Noah and grabbed his brother to hug him too. “Yep, and it’s all your fault.” He kissed Ethan on the top of the head before whispering in his ear. “Thanks little brother.”
Ethan blushed but didn’t push him away. “Can I pet the puppy?”
Luke nodded and reached for Noah’s hand again so he could ease himself down on the bench. Once he was sitting, he put the carrier on the floor and scooted forward, patting the bench behind him for Noah to sit down.
Once he was seated, Luke leaned back against his chest. “Sit down, bud.”
Ethan sat in front of him and Luke gently placed the puppy in his arms. Both men laughed when the puppy barked and nipped at Ethan’s ear causing him to giggle.
Noah wrapped his arms around Luke waist and rested his chin on his shoulder. “What are you going to name him?”
Luke smiled and turned his head to kiss Noah’s neck. “His name’s Lucky because that’s how I feel right now.”
Noah nodded and held him tight. He knew exactly how Luke was feeling.

Noah was suddenly made aware of the hard length of Luke’s cock pressed against his hip and he groaned when the other man started rubbing himself again him.

“I think I’m supposed to be asking you that.” Luke stretched and yawned and then snuggled in a little closer. The feeling of so much of Luke pressed against him was almost too much and Noah couldn’t help the quiet moan that forced its way out of his mouth.
Luke looked up sharply. “What’s wrong, did I hurt you?” Noah’s neck and torso were still littered with the fading bruises that the fight had left behind.
Noah grinned sheepishly. “Nope, not hurt exactly.” He nudged his hip against Luke’s groin and waited for him to get it. Noah could almost see the moment the light bulb went on.
The blush started at his neck before spreading up his cheeks and down over his chest. “Oh…sorry.” He didn’t pull back though and Noah hugged him tighter.
“Don’t be. I’m not.” Luke’s smile at Noah’s words was breathtaking. Leaning up, he nuzzled into Noah’s neck and kissed him under the hinge of his jaw, making him shudder.
“If you keep doing that, we aren’t going to make it to the farm anytime soon.” The last thing he wanted to do was get out of bed, but the Snyders were expecting them. “And we need to talk.”
Luke sighed and then nodded. “Okay, I’ll behave.” He slumped back down so he was lying against Noah’s chest again. “What do you want to talk about?”
“I want to stay in Oakdale…if you want me to. I love it here and I think it’s a place I could really make a home. I’ve never had that and I want it.” He kissed the top of Luke’s head before continuing. “But I can’t live at the farm. I’ve lived on my own for too long to be comfortable with that. I need my own place and some privacy. Your family is amazing Luke, but there is no privacy in that house.”
Luke chuckled. “I know what you mean. I love them, but never being alone for more than five minutes gets to me sometimes.”
“And I’m going to find someone to talk to. A professional I mean. I have some things I need to work through and I think I need help to do it. It’s not just army stuff. It’s my parents too. I’d like to share it with you too, if you’ll let me.” He didn’t want to push Luke, but he wanted him to know that Noah wanted him to be a part of his life.
Luke nodded. “That’s a good idea.” He pressed a kiss over Noah’s heart. “Maybe I could talk to them too. And Noah, you can tell me anything you want. I’ll always want to listen to you.”
He could feel a lump rising in his throat. Luke was still so incredibly giving after all that he’d been through and most amazing of all was that he wanted to be with Noah. “Okay. That sounds good. And thanks.”
Luke looked up at him and smiled before pushing off of him and sitting on the edge of the bed. “I’ll be back.” Switching on the lamp, he nodded toward the bathroom before getting up and quickly disappearing through the door. Noah stayed where he was, relaxing with his hands behind his head as he waited for his turn.
When Luke came out, he looked around the room, his eyes coming to rest on the brightly wrapped packages. “What are those?”
Noah had forgotten about the presents he’d bought. “They’re for you and your family. I was going to have someone drop them off later.”
Luke’s eyes widened and then got suspiciously glassy. “You bought us presents? Why?”
Noah shrugged. “Because I wanted to. I never really had anyone to buy presents for and I had been looking forward to it.” Sitting up, he scooted back until he was resting against the headboard. “I saw Ethan’s first and it sort of snowballed from there.”
Luke shivered as he stood in the middle of the room wearing nothing but his boxers and it was bugging Noah like crazy. “Baby, come back to bed and get warmed up. You’re freezing.”
Luke smiled and scrambled for the bed, diving under the covers where Noah had lifted them in invitation. He didn’t stop there, though. He climbed right up into Noah’s lap and straddled his hips as he grabbed Noah’s face with both hands and pulled him in for a kiss.
This was not the chaste kiss of the night before. It was hot and wet and completely took Noah’s breath away. When Luke finally broke away, his lips were slick and kiss-swollen and he looked completely debauched. Noah had never seen anything more beautiful.
“Not that I’m complaining, but what was that for?” Noah lifted one hand and brushed Luke’s bangs back. He’d been right that first day. There was a small scar there and Luke was hyper-aware of it. Even now he ducked away a little, trying to hide it. Noah curled his hand around Luke’s neck and pulled him down so the he could kiss the scar gently before pushing him back a little to wait for his answer.
“You saved me and I didn’t even say thank you. He beat you…” Luke trailed off for a second as he traced some of the bruises on Noah’s chest with his fingers. “He beat you and then you walked away to make sure I wasn’t scared anymore and we stupidly let you go.”
Noah shook his head. “Luke I didn’t blame you.”
Luke lifted his hand and softly put his fingers on Noah’s lips, quieting him. “I know you didn’t. You blamed yourself and that was stupid. You didn’t do anything wrong. It was just my messed up head that twisted things around. And he’s the one who messed it up, not you.” He leaned down and kissed Noah again, this time more tenderly. “And you still got us presents.”
Noah stroked his hand up and down Luke’s arm, smiling a little sadly. “I hated that you were scared of me. I could never hurt you. I’d rather hurt myself. But I can see why you were scared. All you saw was violence. How were you supposed to tell the difference?”
Luke slid both arms around Noah’s neck and ran one hand up into the back of his hair, massaging the tension he found there. “Thank you Noah. Thank you for saving me and for leaving to give me time and for letting me in and listening to me last night.”
Noah wrapped one arm around Luke’s waist and let the other fall to the soft skin just above his boxers. “You’re welcome. Thank you for coming to find me.” He nuzzled into the side of Luke’s neck, breathing deeply to take in the smell of Luke’s soap and cologne. Unable to resist, he licked the skin behind Luke’s ear causing him to gasp and squirm in Noah’s grasp.
“Oh god, that feels so good.” Luke tipped his head to the side to give him more room and Noah took advantage of it, licking and sucking until Luke was writhing in his lap.
“You taste good.” Noah let his hand slide down to knead Luke’s ass cheek through his boxers. “We need to stop Luke. I’m not going back to the farm right after having sex with you.”
Luke pushed upright a little, putting one copper colored nipple right in front of Noah’s mouth. He looked down at Noah with a surprisingly naughty smile and leaned forward to rub it against his lips. “No privacy there, remember? We won’t be alone for a couple of days at least.”
Noah groaned and sucked the sensitive nub into his mouth. He’d known Luke wasn’t a virgin but he’d had no idea that under the innocence and sweetness that made him look like an angel there was a horny little devil.
Noah worked the nipple until it was peaked and red and then Luke used the grip he’d found in Noah’s hair to move him over to tease the other. The breathy moans made Noah’s cock twitch in his boxers and the feeling of Luke rubbing himself against Noah’s stomach was overwhelming the part of him that had wanted to wait.
Luke pulled back and looked down into Noah’s eyes. “We can wait if you want to, but I’m not going to break. I want this…want you…so much I can’t even begin to tell you.”
Noah searched his face, looking for any doubt…for any clue that this was just gratitude. All he could see was desire and affection. There was no fear, no worry and Noah couldn’t hold back anymore.
Using the grip he had on Luke, he quickly pushed up and spun them around so that Luke was underneath him. Looking down into those caramel colored eyes, he could see how much Luke liked the manhandling, but he still wanted to be careful.
“You have to tell me if I’m pushing you too hard, or scaring you. I won’t do anything you want, I promise.” Noah was trying to be serious but Luke just grinned up at him.
“I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t trust you. I know you won’t hurt me.” He used his foot to gently push Noah back until he sat on his heels and then wiggled out of his boxers and kicking them to the floor.
He lay there, looking vulnerable and wanting and there was nothing in Noah that was willing to deny him anything. He quickly got up and rid himself of his own underwear and then crawled back up onto the bed until he was settled between Luke’s thighs.
The first brush of their bare cocks together had them both groaning. Luke lifted his legs and wrapped them around Noah’s lean hips, holding him close while they kissed lazily.
“Whatever you want, Luke. Whatever you’re ready for.” He rocked forward, the dry slide of skin on skin was a little painful but completely erotic.
Luke whined and pushed his heels into the flesh of Noah’s ass, trying to get more friction. “Everything…I’m ready for everything.”
“Oh god.” Condom’s…he needed condoms. He searched his brain and finally remembered there were some in his duffel. “I’m just gonna get some condom’s and find something for lube.”
Luke let him go and nodded. “Bathroom. I saw some lotion in there.”
Noah scrambled off the bed and ran to the bathroom first. The lotion was on the counter and he grabbed it before running back and grabbing his duffel. There were a few tense moments when he didn’t think he would find them and ended up dumping the whole thing on the floor.
Luke chuckled from the bed and Noah looked up to find him stroking himself slowly. “You’re gonna kill me, I swear to god.”
Grinning wickedly, Luke rolled his hips up into his hand, moaning quietly as the pleasure washed over him. “Hurry up, baby. I need you.”
Noah cursed and pawed through his stuff on the ground, smiling gleefully when they finally came into view. He bounced to his feet and stalked toward the bed.
He climbed onto the bottom of the bed and knee-walked up until he was between Luke’s legs and tossed the condoms and the bottle of lotion beside him. “You look so beautiful Luke.”
Luke ducked his head shyly and looked up at him from under his bangs. “Thanks.” He looked so sweet and Noah couldn’t help leaning down and plundering his mouth, thrusting his tongue in and tasting every bit of it until they were both breathless.
When he pulled back, their eyes locked and Luke never looked away once as he picked up the bottle of lotion and flipped the cap before taking Noah’s hands and pouring it over his fingers. “You need to get me ready. It’s been a while.”
The way Noah’s cock twitched at Luke’s words would have been comical if it hadn’t been so painful. When Luke rolled over and lifted his ass in the air, he had to reach down and squeeze his cock to stop himself from coming. “I wanna look at you.”
Luke looked over his shoulder and smiled softly. “You will. But I can only hold my leg up for so long before it starts to hurt, so if you don’t mind, I’ll get comfortable while you touch me.”
“I’m sorry sweetheart. I forgot.” Noah stretched out until he was on his side and pressed all along Luke’s back. He kissed the nape of his neck as he let his fingers wander down to push between the cheeks of Luke’s ass.
Luke turned his head to look at him. “Good. I’m glad that when you think of me, that’s not the first thing that comes to your mind.”
Letting one finger circle Luke’s hole gently, he nipped at his shoulder and then licked over the small sting. “Nope…not even close.”
Luke moaned as Noah slid one finger into the first knuckle and crooked it, feeling around for Luke’s prostate. He knew he found it when Luke shuddered and bucked back against his hand.
“God Noah, please.” Noah grinned and slid his finger in and out a few more times before slipping a second one in beside it. The sweet sounds falling from Luke’s mouth got louder and louder as Noah stretched him until three fingers were moving easily.
“I need to do this now, baby, or I’m gonna come before you get inside me.” Luke’s voice was low and rough as he begged Noah for relief.
Noah reluctantly pulled his fingers free and wiped them on the sheet before urging Luke onto his back. “What’s the best way for you to do this?”
Luke lifted his good leg and put it over Noah’s shoulder before wrapping the other one around his waist and using it to pull him in. “Just like this is about perfect.”
It was the sexiest thing Noah had ever seen and he had a moment of disbelief that he was the lucky bastard who got to have Luke this way. He reached for the condom and rolled it on and quickly used the lotion to slick himself up. He tossed the bottle away and looked up at Luke. “Okay?”
Luke nodded and Noah carefully pressed in past the first ring of muscle before pausing to wait for Luke to adjust. He waited patiently until Luke nodded and then pressed in slowly but surely until he bottomed out. “God you feel so good.”
Luke bucked up against him. “Move, Noah…please.”
Noah leaned in and kissed him before sitting back on his heels and took a hold of Luke’s thighs. Using the grip as leverage, he pulled out and slid back into the silky heat. Luke reached up and grabbed his wrists and hung on while Noah thrust in and out.
He moaned quietly as Noah adjusted his angle until he was hitting Luke’s prostate with every push in. “God Luke. You should see yourself. Fucking gorgeous.”
Luke shook his head. “No…you are. Look so good in me.”
Noah let Luke’s leg slide off his shoulder and down to his waist so he could lean forward over him as he fucked into him. Luke reached up and pulled him down so they could kiss and it was the most amazing thing Noah had ever felt.
Luke’s cock was trapped between them and he could feel it hot and sticky as it rubbed up against him. He lifted one hand to work between them but Luke swatted it away. “Don’t need it. Gonna come just from this.”
And if that wasn’t the hottest thing Noah had ever heard, he didn’t know what was. “Not gonna last. You need to come soon, baby.”
Luke nodded frantically and pulled Noah’s head back in, arching his back as they kissed to put more pressure on his cock. “Soon…almost there. Faster.”
Noah picked up the pace, thrusting as fast as he could as Luke made little grunts with each one.
Then Luke’s eyes widened and Noah could feel him getting tighter around him as his orgasm hit him hard. It was like electricity was running through Luke’s body and he screamed Noah’s name as he came.
Noah lifted up and grabbed Luke’s cock, wringing as many aftershocks as he could out of him before letting go and finally giving in to his own pleasure. A few more thrusts and Noah fell over the edge, letting his own orgasm overwhelm him as he leaned his head on Luke’s shoulder.
When the last spasm had passed, Noah let himself fall, so boneless he was barely able to keep from squashing Luke as he fell.
They both lay there panting, and once Noah caught his breath, he grabbed a couple of tissues from the box on the nightstand, wrapping the condom in one and cleaning Luke up as best he could. When he was finished he tossed them on the floor and leaned down to kiss Luke tenderly.
“You’re kind of amazing.” It was sappy, but Noah didn’t care. It was how he felt. Luke’s answering smile was like the sun coming out.
“You’re not so bad yourself.” Luke hands ran restlessly over Noah’s skin, making him twitch.
Noah peppered kisses over Luke’s face and chest before letting himself relax with his head on Luke’s shoulder. “Oh man, how am I gonna look your grandma in the eye?”
Luke chuckled. “Don’t worry, you can avoid her and talk to the other one today.”
Noah groaned. “Luke, exactly how much of your family is going to be at the farm for Christmas?”
Luke shrugged. “Uhm, probably all of it?”
Noah froze. “And how many people is that?” He could feel the panic growing in his chest and if he wasn’t careful he just might throw up.
“I don’t know, probably around thirty people or so? Not everyone will stay for dinner.” Luke stroked Noah’s head, distracting him just a little.
“Did I mention I suck at meeting families? Or that I’ve never actually done that before? I’m not good with people Luke.” Noah was terrified. They were all going to hate him.
Luke smacked him on the shoulder. “They aren’t going to hate you, baby. They’re gonna love you.”
Noah blushed apparently nerves made him say things out loud he hadn’t meant to. “Can I hide with Ethan for a while?”
Luke chuckled. “We’ll work out a secret signal or something for if it gets too much. Ethan and I will have your back.”
“Okay.” Noah sighed and closed his eyes for a few moments as he tried to make his heart slow down and stop trying to kill him. “We should get out there soon I guess. They’ll probably need help.”
“Yeah.” Luke pulled him up for a kiss. “I wish we could stay here all day though.”
Noah grinned at him. “That would be nice. Except I’m looking forward to Emma’s Christmas baking; and her sweet potatoes.”
“You’ve never had a real Christmas dinner, have you?” It was more of a statement than a question. Luke kissed him hard and then pushed him away so he could get out of bed. “I’m gonna make sure that this one’s perfect!”
Noah put his hand over his mouth to hide his smile. Nothing was ever going to be as sexy and adorable as Luke standing beside the bed naked, with his hands on his hips and determination in his eyes. “Maybe you should put some clothes on first?”
Luke looked down at himself and blushed. “Uh, yeah, that would be good. Maybe after a shower.” He walked toward the bathroom but stopped to look back over his shoulder. “Wanna join me?”
If he hadn’t come his brains out two minutes before, Noah’s cock would have been hard as a rock from the view. It took him a second to get his brain back in gear.
“No. Bad idea if we want to get out there before dinner. You go ahead, I have a call to make.” Noah made himself a promise that Luke naked and wet was going to happen someone soon.
Luke smiled shyly at him and disappeared into the bathroom. As soon as he heard the water start, Noah grabbed his phone and looked at the time. Almost 9 am. Hopefully it wasn’t too early.
A quick conversation with the woman who had Luke’s puppy and the arrangements were made. When Luke was done in the shower, Noah took his turn. By the time he was done, Luke had packed most of his stuff and one look at his face made it clear that Noah wouldn’t be coming back to the cheap motel.
They loaded everything into Noah’s truck and kissed goodbye before Luke got in his car. Noah assured him that he just had one stop to make and he’d be right out. Luke nodded and waved and then pulled out of the parking lot and onto the highway. Noah watched him go until he was out of sight and then jumped into his truck and followed the directions the woman had given him to her house.
Once the puppy was settled in the carrier that had been carefully buckled into the passenger seat, Noah and his nerves were on the road to the farm. He wondered how strange it was that he talked to the dog the whole way.
When he pulled into the yard he found a place to park and sat in his truck for a few moments. It was like his first day there, nervous and unsure of his reception only for different reasons this time.
And just like the first day, Ethan was the first one out of the house to greet him. The porch door flung open and the boy was down the steps and across the yard in the time it took for Noah to get his truck door open.
This time though, Ethan didn’t stop. He launched himself into Noah’s arms from 5 feet away and Noah caught him easily.
“Hey little man. I missed you too.” Ethan’s arms clung to Noah’s neck as they stood there in the quiet. He waited until Ethan relaxed and then pulled his head back to look at his face. “You okay?”
He pretended not to notice as Ethan wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and then nodded. “Yeah. I just missed you. I’m glad you’re back.”
Noah hugged him again. “Yeah, me too.”
The puppy chose that moment to whine for a little attention. Ethan’s head whipped around and he wormed his way out of Noah’s arms and into the truck. “Oh Noah…it’s awesome.” He looked at Noah with hopeful eyes. “Is it for me?”
Noah chuckled. “Afraid not, sport, but don’t worry. I got you something just as awesome.”
Ethan looked confused for a second and then grinned. “Noah…you got Luke a puppy? Oh my god, you are going to be like the best boyfriend ever!”
“You think he’s gonna like it?” He was still a little unsure about it.
Ethan giggled at him. “He’s gonna love it.” He unbuckled the carrier and pulled it toward the door. “Come on, poor thing has to be freezing.” He paused and looked at Noah. “You weren’t going to try hiding him until tomorrow, were you?
Noah shook his head. “Nah. I have a couple other small things he can open tomorrow. Let’s go show him.”
Ethan hopped out of the truck and got out of the way so Noah could grab the carrier. “Where is he?”
“He’s in the barn with Magic. It’s a good place for them to meet.” Ethan looked unsure for a second. “Can I come? Or is it private.”
Noah reached out and ruffled his hair. “Of course you can come. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
Ethan grinned happily and grabbed Noah’s hand, pulling him toward the barn. “Let’s go. I can’t wait to see his face!”
They opened the door and Ethan went in first, followed by Noah. There were no lights on and in the dim glow from the windows, they managed to get almost all the way to Luke before he noticed what Noah was carrying.
Luke walked up and kissed Noah on the cheek. “What do you have there, Noah?”
Noah set the carrier on the bench by the window. “It’s your Christmas present. Why don’t you open it?”
Luke straddled the bench and sat down, looking at Noah and Ethan suspiciously before opening the carrier door. It didn’t take the puppy long to toddle out into Luke’s lap.
It was black and fluffy and got right upon his hind legs with his paws on Luke chest and started licking his face. Noah could see that Luke was trembling as he gathered the little dog into his arms and cradled against his chest.
“Is it okay Luke? You don’t have to…” Noah was cut off when Luke held the puppy with one arm and held out his free hand for Noah to help him to his feet.
“He’s perfect, baby. I can’t believe you did this for me.” Luke wrapped the arm not holding the puppy around Noah’s neck and pulled him into s fierce hug. “Thank you.” Curling his hand around Noah’s cheek, leaned up and kissed him softly.
“Eww, I’m gonna have to see this sappy stuff a lot now, aren’t I?” Ethan was trying really hard to sound disgusted but couldn’t quite make it.
Luke let go of Noah and grabbed his brother to hug him too. “Yep, and it’s all your fault.” He kissed Ethan on the top of the head before whispering in his ear. “Thanks little brother.”
Ethan blushed but didn’t push him away. “Can I pet the puppy?”
Luke nodded and reached for Noah’s hand again so he could ease himself down on the bench. Once he was sitting, he put the carrier on the floor and scooted forward, patting the bench behind him for Noah to sit down.
Once he was seated, Luke leaned back against his chest. “Sit down, bud.”
Ethan sat in front of him and Luke gently placed the puppy in his arms. Both men laughed when the puppy barked and nipped at Ethan’s ear causing him to giggle.
Noah wrapped his arms around Luke waist and rested his chin on his shoulder. “What are you going to name him?”
Luke smiled and turned his head to kiss Noah’s neck. “His name’s Lucky because that’s how I feel right now.”
Noah nodded and held him tight. He knew exactly how Luke was feeling.
