Luke thought he was going to die. When had a mouth on his skin ever felt so good? He leaned his head back against the wall and sucked in a breath, closing his eyes as he tugged Reid closer to him. He couldn’t remember it ever feeling this way with Noah, not this passionate, not this perfect. Of course, they had both been new to it when they had finally slept together. Noah had been so awkward and reluctant--then and as of recently--that it had never felt as if he would explode from his skin at the searing jolt of pleasure running throughout his body. That was only another thing to add about this curious, handsome man that intrigued him.
“Reid…” he moaned in the back of his throat, gasping softly when teeth grazed over his nipples, never having realized how sensitive they could be. And if he were sensitive now…what would happen when Reid’s fingers and mouth went and conquered other places?
He shuddered at the mere thought and slid restlessly on the sofa, denim catching on the leather, and whimpered softly when lips made a warm, wet trail down the center of his chest. He could feel the other man chuckling against him, and would’ve smacked him but that would’ve stopped his motions, and he certainly didn’t want that.
“Sensitive, aren’t you?” Reid muttered against his skin, amused and aroused at the same time as his tongue swirled over the indent of the blond’s navel. He looked at Luke with a knowing smirk. “Feels that good? Your ex must’ve been a shoddy lover.”
“Less talking…m-more of that…” Luke groaned in protest, flushing as he gazed down at him. He couldn’t deny it, not really. Noah had had one foot out of the closet and one in, when they’d started their relationship. They’d been each other’s first, not counting Noah already having slept with women so they had been intimate and clumsy, and sometimes he had felt that Noah really hadn’t wanted the fine points of a gay relationship. Hand jobs and blowjobs, or any kind of foreplay. Maybe he’d been paranoid, maybe it was just him. He wasn’t sure, but what Reid was doing, so simple, but so excruciatingly tormenting was more than he’d ever experienced since coming out. He hoped he didn’t look like a complete virgin.
Reid gazed at him with those eyes, and as the blond struggled to find breath.
Long, elegant fingers stroked up his sides, pushing the vest off after a moment with a confident sweep.
“Oh, I have no intention of stopping.” he assured him softly. “Not yet. Have to leave my mark, first.”
“M-mark?” Luke stammered, flushing as the man climbed up halfway and kissed him hard. All lips and teeth and wonderful warmth. He lifted his hands, free of the vest, and cupped Reid’s face, pulling him closer as he growled against his mouth and kissed him back; attempting to give as good as he got. It seemed to be the right thing to do, given that Reid was holding on to him as tightly as he was to Reid.
Teeth clinked together, and Luke was sure his lips would bruise, with how hard their kisses were, but didn’t care as he stroked his tongue along Reid’s. He gave a sound of protest when Reid’s mouth left his, panting as he felt Reid’s mouth stroke over his earlobe, down alongside his jaw line and to his neck. He moaned breathlessly, clinging onto Reid’s shoulders. He’d lost his hat once he’d leaned his head back. Reid’s fingers caressing through his hair, to the nape of his neck, was just as perfect as his kisses, and the teeth biting lightly made him gasp again.
“O-oh…that kind of mark…” he muttered as Reid gave a smothered chuckle. He arched his neck into the touch, shuddering at the stroke of the older man’s tongue interspersed with the sharp grazes.
“You’re very responsive.” Reid replied quietly, in between kisses. “Come on…your ex didn’t do things like this?”
“Never.” Luke replied, blushing when Reid stared at him in blatant shock. “He k-kinda denied being gay for a long while before we got involved.”
“Who kissed who first?”
“He kissed me.”
“Let me guess…it was just a mistake, or a joke?”
Luke blinked. “How did you…?”
“Been there, done that. Nothing’s more of a turn-off than a guy that doesn’t know what he wants.”
“And you do?”
The hungry blue stare that Reid gave him threatened to melt him from the inside out, before he kissed him again.
“You damn well better believe it.” Reid rasped quietly, lips moving against Luke’s as he gazed at him. “I don’t beat around the bush. I don’t play games. If I want something, I’m going to go after it.”
Luke flushed deeply, being the result of such a gaze, such a *need*. It was flattering, and erotic, and very, very good for his ego. “I’ve…never known something like that.”
“Then it’s about time you do.” Reid whispered. He trailed a finger over the swelled lips, admiring how full and red they looked, before he trailed his finger down over his neck, along his torso. “Question is…do you want it?”
The whine he got in return made the older man let out a small sound of amusement as he leaned forward to whisper in the blond’s ear.
“How much do you want? Tell me.”
Luke was lucky he was able to piece words together, just a fingertip alone had him shaky, and the warm breath against his ear…it felt like he was going to melt from the inside out. He licked his lips, and cleared his throat. “I…I don’t know…kinda dizzy from this alone…”
“Breathe. Slowly.” Reid replied softly, feeling proud to fluster the blond with just this little. If he got the whole enchilada…he smirked to himself. “Where do you want me?”
“I…oh god…” Luke moaned quietly as his mind planted images of where that mouth would be perfect. He licked his lips again, and tugged at the curly strands softly, urging Reid to lean back so they were eye to eye. “Just…I…I want…”
Reid eyed him silently, noting the flush of red on the younger man’s cheeks. He really was rather cute when he was flustered. Awkward, but wanting. Passionate, but still so restrained. Damn, his ex really must’ve been a prude.
He reached down, letting his fingers stroke over the blond’s lean stomach, before they tiptoed over the rough denim, and he cupped him through the material.
The reaction was instantaneous, as Luke cried out in surprise. Eyes widening as his back arched and his hips bucked forward. His head smacked against the wall, but the slight pain was ignored as he slid over the red sofa, melting and trying to arch up further into the confident touch.
“Easy, easy.” Reid breathed softly, easing the blond back so he was stretched out over the length of the sofa. “Shh. I’ll take care of you.”
Luke gasped for breath, cheeks flushed as he gazed up at him from the arm of the sofa. “Y…you must think…I’m such a v-virgin…”
The older man snorted quietly, the blue gaze that flicked to his face filled with a wry amusement. “No, I don’t. I just think you deserve to experience the life of a gay man to its fullest.” he drawled as he let his hand cup him through the denim again, his lips curving when the blond squirmed. “Hard to believe that you’ve never been touched like this, the way you look. I’d think that you had been hit on, sucked, fucked and blown several times over.”
Luke could feel his blush searing up his cheeks, crawling up to his ears, and he bit off the urge to hide his face. He wasn’t used to someone being so direct…and here he’d thought he had the experience on knowing what he wanted. He swallowed and gave a crooked smile at Reid, shaking his head. “Nope. I’m a good boy.”
Reid laughed as his fingers reached to unbutton the tight jeans, easing down the zipper over the straining material. “Mm, well…even good boys deserve to be wicked…every so often. You have the potential, the way you were dancing back there. Guess it takes a confident hand to show you just how good it can be.”
The blond hissed softly when Reid’s fingers gave just such an example of how good it could be. Fingers curled around the head of his erection as his hips bucked up, freed from the material of his jeans and underwear. He could feel his eyes fairly roll back into his head, and his fingers gripped onto Reid’s arms as pleasure jolted him to a higher pitch.
“Breathe.” Reid repeated quietly, watching the younger man strain into his touch. He watched him take a shaky breath, then another, before he let his hand move in a slow, steady stroke, from base to tip. Luke was built well, lithe and well-proportioned, with a good handful of slick, firm skin that blushed red under his touch. He was a healthy young man, but he hadn’t gotten the proper attention from his ex? He was surprised he wasn’t purple from the stress.
He curled his fingers, taking his time and enjoying the sensation as he watched Luke moan and writhe underneath him. What a sight. He licked his lips as he gazed at him, and used his other hand to pull the jeans and underwear down his thighs. Transfixed by the sight of that pretty mouth making such lovely noises, he shook himself when he found himself stilling, and smirked at Luke.
“Don’t grab my hair too hard, okay?”
“Uh?” Luke muttered, shuddering as he glanced at Reid. “What do you…?”
He had looked up just in time to see the older man’s head go down, and his eyes widened in shock. He almost grabbed Reid’s shoulder to stop him, stunned at the simple fact of getting his first blowjob, but then there was warm breath against his groin, the silky touch of a cheek against the head of him, and…
Luke forgot to stop the older man, his eyes closing as he gave a low moan, one hand gripping at the sofa arm, the other sifting into Reid’s hair gently. Reid was taking his time to pleasure him, letting the sensations wash over him. Luke was thankful to Reid for taking things slow and just letting him feel. It was erotic, the brush of skin, soft, then the slight prickle of stubble where the man would need to shave later, against his own skin.
“Nn…” he whimpered under his breath, breath catching at the small catlike nuzzling, squirming a little when he felt breath tickle along his thighs, stirring along sensitive skin and the curls at his groin. It felt good, and he could feel his heart beating like a drum in his chest, steady and a little excited, but not too much, because it was a slow build.
The man knew how to work his way around his body, that was for sure.
“Don’t forget to breathe.”
The moist words were pressed against his skin, just along the inside of his thigh, and Luke shivered, nodding absently. He tried to obey him, but god, it was hard to breathe when the older man’s mouth played along the tip of his length. So slow, so methodical, that he could feel his body tense up and arch like a stringed instrument under the curve of the bow. Kisses, warm breath, the slow flicks of a tongue, all the way to the base of his groin as he gasped and jerked, trembling.
“Shhh…” Reid whispered, feeling Luke’s body jerk hard. He wanted to find the blond’s ex and smack him up the backside of his head, for even daring to leave the blond like this, so aching and vulnerable.
Kids these days. He would’ve shaken his head, but he was busy trying to ease the tension out of Luke. Reid took his time to lathe his tongue over the length of his cock, fingers stroking over Luke’s hips lightly. Brushing his cheek along the surface of the blond’s arousal, Reid paused before he opened his mouth to take him in.
Luke gasped sharply at the feeling of the warm, wet heat sucking him in, and arched. Fingers tightened a little around Reid’s hair as the long fingers at his hips held him steady. It took him a few moments--after the rush of heat--to realize that the older man wasn’t holding him back, merely steadying him. He didn’t mind the thrust of uncoordinated hips, or the fingers in his hair. It made him smile a bit to himself, how thoughtful the man’s actions were as he took a jagged breath when teeth grazed along his cock. He arched again with a low cry, hips leaving the sofa as pleasure spiraled through him.
Balancing his elbows against the couch, Reid ignored the slight sting of the younger man’s cock pressing against the back of his throat. It had been a while since he last deepthroated but it wasn’t enough to stop him. He growled softly around Luke’s cock, using the vibration to his advantage when the blond all but convulsed in reaction. He watched the blond’s expressive face as he sucked, licked, and deepthroated to the best of his ability.
Luke whimpered, feeling his heart race, and his blood pound through him. It was almost like being drunk, that same sort of out-of-your-head buzz, but without the alcoholic fuzziness. The vibrant jolts of pleasure had him gasping as his hips jerked with every return of Reid’s mouth to his skin. It was amazing, and terrifying all at once as he breathed Reid’s name, once, then again to the bob of the older man’s head.
Reid hummed, a coaxing, encouraging sound. ‘Come on’ he thought to himself as he watched Luke’s movements become more erratic. He was getting close, and it would just take a little more, before he would let go. He hummed again, louder, firming his lips around the tip of the blond’s length delicately and sucking in hard.
It wasn’t Luke’s fault that he couldn’t hang on any longer. This sort of extreme pleasure wasn’t in his experience. He’d kissed and been kissed, had sex, but this? He thought he was going to lose his mind as he cried out breathlessly, hips jerking hard as he arched himself into that hungry mouth. Heat rushed through him, leaving him shaking and completely blown away when he came back to himself.
His ears were roaring, and it felt like every part of his skin was tingling as Reid leaned back slowly. He could just spot a bit of white-flecked moisture on Reid’s bottom lip. Luke blushed hotly when Reid winked at him and licked his lips in pleasure.
“Mmm, thank you. Your body was so wired, I thought it’d take a while before you did let go.” Reid hummed as Luke panted.
“You…you swallowed?”
“Of course. After watching your face in that euphoria, it was my pleasure. Always does the ego a bit of good to see someone stupefied after a good blowjob.”
Luke laughed raggedly, smirking up at the self-confident man. “Something tells me that your ego needs no help in that department.”
“Touché.” Reid drawled, smirking back at him, before he allowed Luke to pull him back down. Bracing his arms over him, he admired the flushed glow on the blond’s cheeks. “You all right?”
“Wonderful.” Luke murmured with a smile, before he leaned up to kiss him lightly. “I’m a little tingly, but…”
“That’s natural.” Reid snorted, amused as he brushed his fingers over Luke’s cheek. “Considering it looked like you were going to combust right at the end there.”
“Pretty proud of yourself, are you?” Luke murmured, leaning into the slightly cooler touch of the man’s fingers.
“Oh, yeah. When it comes to blowing the mind of a drop-dead gorgeous man like yourself? I feel pretty damned good.”
Luke laughed. “I have to admit…I’ve never had any experience like that. Not to that extreme, anyways. The sex was good, but…”
“But it was your first, and to that point, anything will feel good?” Reid murmured as he watched the blond nod. “So I score past an eleven then?” He smirked when the younger man laughed again. “Maybe twenty.”
“No one could accuse you of having modesty.”
“Modesty’s just a shtick to make people suck up to you even more.” Reid drawled, enjoying the flash of those dimples at him. “If you’re going to do something, do it good. And considering your reaction, it is above and beyond my pleasure to give you something that good.” He tapped Luke’s nose lightly. “And…maybe…if you stick around in Dallas long enough…we can have lots more.”
“Really?” Luke breathed eagerly, making the older man chuckle. “I mean…seriously, Reid. You’re handsome, experienced, you obviously know what you want…you seriously want to see more out of me, some guy out of town whose experience rate levels about a three?”
“I like the way you respond when I touch you.” Reid hummed against the blond’s ear, knowing that Luke would blush again. “It’s attractive, knowing that it’s me that’s making you feel that way. And I want to show you more. All the pleasure and experience that you can stand.”
“Now…how am I supposed to say no to that?” Luke whispered, turning his head to smile into those blue eyes as he lifted a hand to smooth down the curls he’d ruffled with the grip of his fingers. “I’d like to see more of you, Reid. I mean…if you’re willing.”
“Oh, I’m willing.” Reid agreed as he gazed down at him. There was just something about him…he wanted to keep him around. “What about you?”
Luke leaned up to kiss him again, sliding his fingers around the nape of Reid’s neck and pulling him down so the kiss lingered, slow and with a low burn of pleasure. “Yeah.” he breathed against his mouth. “I’m definitely willing.”
The younger man was gifted with a flash of a smile, before Reid pulled back reluctantly, snickering when Luke whined. “That’s enough for now. Your boss will kill me if you’re too weak-kneed to dance properly. Come on, get dressed. I’ll treat you to something to eat before your break ends.”
“Aren’t you sweet.” Luke replied as he sat up, somewhat shakily that he nearly toppled into Reid. “But um…what about…”
“Hmm?” Reid replied, glancing down when Luke’s fingers gestured below the belt. He smirked at the slightly flustered blond, and kissed the corner of his mouth. “What? This?” he purred as he lightly caught Luke’s fingers and pressed them against the evident bulge underneath the black jeans, his eyes meeting Luke’s as the blond licked his lips. “Down, boy. You don’t need to worry about that, I’m a big boy.”
“But…I mean…”
“Another time. If the offer still stands.”
Luke bit his lip when Reid winked, and the suggestive slither of his fingers over Reid’s bulge caused him to nod breathlessly. “Definitely.”
“Good.” Reid pulled himself back before he got lost in the eager touch. Once Luke had gotten himself put back together, he helped the blond to his feet, plopping the blond’s hat back onto his head. “C’mon.”
Luke tottered after Reid, still a little shaky as he pulled his vest back to rights on his torso, and headed out of the office with him. His knees still shook. Reid slid into a booth and he followed after eagerly, grinning when Reid promptly ordered half of the club’s menu after a few minutes with a waiter.
“Hungry?” he laughed as Reid smirked at him with a twinkle in his eye.
“Famished. But I do have a healthy appetite.”
“I’ll say.” Luke replied cheekily, enjoying the laughter he received from the older man. He had a nice laugh. Nice smile, too. Maybe he’d get to see them more often, especially if he had his way. There was something about Reid. He had never been so attracted to a guy upon the get go. Certainly not during or after Noah. There was just some spark, and he was going to find out what that spark was. After Noah, and all the fighting they’d been doing, it was nice to have something so exciting, so interesting, so uniquely *mutual* with someone. For the second time since arriving in Dallas, he truly felt that this was what he needed. A new job, a man that was interested in him and was not afraid to let him know. After all he’d gone through in Oakdale, it really was just what he needed to focus on.
------
After his makeshift dinner with Reid and watching in amazement when the man proceeded to make his share of the food disappear. After flirting a bit more, Luke had gone back to work, shaking his ass until after midnight. He was exhausted, his legs wobbled (though he wasn’t going to tell Rick that only part of that was from dancing), and he’d made a good night’s work that he was fairly sure that he didn’t have to worry about dipping into his savings for his needs.
He said goodbye to his boss for the night, and skirted around several drunk cowboys that tried to come onto him. Luke looked around, hoping to find Reid, only to jump when a warm hand rested lightly on his waist. He glanced back to the doctor, and grinned at him as they headed out of the club. “Lucky you aren’t taller, wearing cowboy gear or smell like alcohol, or I would’ve hit you…guys get really direct when they’re drunk.”
“Alcohol makes them more daring…or stupid.” Reid drawled as he headed out into the warm night with him. “Can I drop you off anywhere? I have a shift in the morning.”
“Aw, and I was hoping I’d be able to get you to come with me.” Luke teased lightly, playing with the older man’s shirt collar as Reid chuckled.
“Tempting. Really, really tempting, but I don’t go for first night things. Too much like one night stands.”
Luke gazed at him curiously, his expression thoughtful. “Sounds like you speak from experience on that one.”
“Not my thing.” Reid agreed. “If I’m going to see someone, it’s not going to be some one time thing. If I set myself up to be into someone and put myself out there, it’s going to be more permanent than that.”
The blond smiled. “I’ll have to keep that in mind.”
“You do that.” Reid smirked at him. “So…where are you living at? Hotel room…?”
“Something a little more permanent than that. I have a place rented out close by. Who knows? I might make it permanent.”
Reid shared a grin with him, and headed out into the parking lot. “Sounds promising.” he hummed, escorting him to his car.
“I’d like to think so.”
The ride back to his place was comfortable, with little bits of flirting and joking. As Luke stood at his doorstep, he glanced at the older man with a smile.
“Sure I can’t talk you in for the night?”
Reid chuckled softly. “Like I said, the offer’s tempting.” More tempting than it ever had been from anyone else, actually. That smile, those eyes, that body…he forced himself to not just grab the blond and head in with him, restraining himself to cupping Luke’s face in his hands and bringing him closer for a sound kiss. He smirked at the dazzled expression he left in his wake when he pulled back, before he kissed him again and stepped away. “Night, Luke.”
“Night, Reid.” Luke murmured, somewhat breathless as he gazed after him, before he smiled and headed inside, waving to him from the doorway before closing the door with a sigh, smiling to himself.
It was as he was getting ready to turn in for the night that his cellphone rang. He glanced at his watch before grabbing up the phone and answering it.
“Hi, mom. You’re still up?” he smiled as he padded for the bedroom.
“I tried to call earlier, but your phone was turned off…is everything all right, sweetie?” Lily’s voice had a note of concern that made Luke smile.
“I’m fine, mom. I just had to work, I got off about a half hour ago.”
“Work? You found a job down there? Well…that’s…good. We miss you, honey. Why, we were just talking to Noah--”
“Noah?” Luke replied, straightening in surprise with a small frown. “Is he there?”
“Yes, sweetie, he came for a visit…um…do you want to talk to him?”
A few weeks ago, he would’ve leapt at the chance. Of course, that had been before Noah had ripped into him for the latest thing he didn’t do right by Noah Mayer standards. Now, Luke sighed, not wanting to ruin his good mood.
“No, mom, I’m about to head off to bed. Just tell him hey, and I hope he’s doing okay.” he replied as he slid into bed, running his fingers through his hair. He just wanted to linger in the day he’d had, and the gorgeous man he’d spent time with.
“All right, Luke. It’s pretty late, there, too, so I’ll let you go. Call you in the morning?”
“Sure thing, mom. Give dad a hug for me. Love you.”
“Love you, too, Luke. Goodnight.” Lily replied, and hung up the phone, chewing absently on a fingernail in thought.
“How’s Luke? Is he okay?”
This came from the young man sitting in their living room, and the woman shared a glance with Holden, before she turned her gaze to Noah.
“He’s doing just fine, Noah. Seems that he’s doing very well, actually.”
Holden furrowed his brow at her curiously as Noah blinked.
“What do you mean? How?”
Lily deliberated on her words, then decided to be honest with the young man, even if he and Luke had split up. She took a deep breath. “I think he’s met someone, Noah.”
She wasn’t surprised when the mug of cocoa the young man held in his hands slipped from his grasp and fell to the floor.

The reaction was instantaneous, as Luke cried out in surprise. Eyes widening as his back arched and his hips bucked forward. His head smacked against the wall, but the slight pain was ignored as he slid over the red sofa, melting and trying to arch up further into the confident touch.
“Easy, easy.” Reid breathed softly, easing the blond back so he was stretched out over the length of the sofa. “Shh. I’ll take care of you.”
Luke gasped for breath, cheeks flushed as he gazed up at him from the arm of the sofa. “Y…you must think…I’m such a v-virgin…”
The older man snorted quietly, the blue gaze that flicked to his face filled with a wry amusement. “No, I don’t. I just think you deserve to experience the life of a gay man to its fullest.” he drawled as he let his hand cup him through the denim again, his lips curving when the blond squirmed. “Hard to believe that you’ve never been touched like this, the way you look. I’d think that you had been hit on, sucked, fucked and blown several times over.”
Luke could feel his blush searing up his cheeks, crawling up to his ears, and he bit off the urge to hide his face. He wasn’t used to someone being so direct…and here he’d thought he had the experience on knowing what he wanted. He swallowed and gave a crooked smile at Reid, shaking his head. “Nope. I’m a good boy.”
Reid laughed as his fingers reached to unbutton the tight jeans, easing down the zipper over the straining material. “Mm, well…even good boys deserve to be wicked…every so often. You have the potential, the way you were dancing back there. Guess it takes a confident hand to show you just how good it can be.”
The blond hissed softly when Reid’s fingers gave just such an example of how good it could be. Fingers curled around the head of his erection as his hips bucked up, freed from the material of his jeans and underwear. He could feel his eyes fairly roll back into his head, and his fingers gripped onto Reid’s arms as pleasure jolted him to a higher pitch.
“Breathe.” Reid repeated quietly, watching the younger man strain into his touch. He watched him take a shaky breath, then another, before he let his hand move in a slow, steady stroke, from base to tip. Luke was built well, lithe and well-proportioned, with a good handful of slick, firm skin that blushed red under his touch. He was a healthy young man, but he hadn’t gotten the proper attention from his ex? He was surprised he wasn’t purple from the stress.
He curled his fingers, taking his time and enjoying the sensation as he watched Luke moan and writhe underneath him. What a sight. He licked his lips as he gazed at him, and used his other hand to pull the jeans and underwear down his thighs. Transfixed by the sight of that pretty mouth making such lovely noises, he shook himself when he found himself stilling, and smirked at Luke.
“Don’t grab my hair too hard, okay?”
“Uh?” Luke muttered, shuddering as he glanced at Reid. “What do you…?”
He had looked up just in time to see the older man’s head go down, and his eyes widened in shock. He almost grabbed Reid’s shoulder to stop him, stunned at the simple fact of getting his first blowjob, but then there was warm breath against his groin, the silky touch of a cheek against the head of him, and…
Luke forgot to stop the older man, his eyes closing as he gave a low moan, one hand gripping at the sofa arm, the other sifting into Reid’s hair gently. Reid was taking his time to pleasure him, letting the sensations wash over him. Luke was thankful to Reid for taking things slow and just letting him feel. It was erotic, the brush of skin, soft, then the slight prickle of stubble where the man would need to shave later, against his own skin.
“Nn…” he whimpered under his breath, breath catching at the small catlike nuzzling, squirming a little when he felt breath tickle along his thighs, stirring along sensitive skin and the curls at his groin. It felt good, and he could feel his heart beating like a drum in his chest, steady and a little excited, but not too much, because it was a slow build.
The man knew how to work his way around his body, that was for sure.
“Don’t forget to breathe.”
The moist words were pressed against his skin, just along the inside of his thigh, and Luke shivered, nodding absently. He tried to obey him, but god, it was hard to breathe when the older man’s mouth played along the tip of his length. So slow, so methodical, that he could feel his body tense up and arch like a stringed instrument under the curve of the bow. Kisses, warm breath, the slow flicks of a tongue, all the way to the base of his groin as he gasped and jerked, trembling.
“Shhh…” Reid whispered, feeling Luke’s body jerk hard. He wanted to find the blond’s ex and smack him up the backside of his head, for even daring to leave the blond like this, so aching and vulnerable.
Kids these days. He would’ve shaken his head, but he was busy trying to ease the tension out of Luke. Reid took his time to lathe his tongue over the length of his cock, fingers stroking over Luke’s hips lightly. Brushing his cheek along the surface of the blond’s arousal, Reid paused before he opened his mouth to take him in.
Luke gasped sharply at the feeling of the warm, wet heat sucking him in, and arched. Fingers tightened a little around Reid’s hair as the long fingers at his hips held him steady. It took him a few moments--after the rush of heat--to realize that the older man wasn’t holding him back, merely steadying him. He didn’t mind the thrust of uncoordinated hips, or the fingers in his hair. It made him smile a bit to himself, how thoughtful the man’s actions were as he took a jagged breath when teeth grazed along his cock. He arched again with a low cry, hips leaving the sofa as pleasure spiraled through him.
Balancing his elbows against the couch, Reid ignored the slight sting of the younger man’s cock pressing against the back of his throat. It had been a while since he last deepthroated but it wasn’t enough to stop him. He growled softly around Luke’s cock, using the vibration to his advantage when the blond all but convulsed in reaction. He watched the blond’s expressive face as he sucked, licked, and deepthroated to the best of his ability.
Luke whimpered, feeling his heart race, and his blood pound through him. It was almost like being drunk, that same sort of out-of-your-head buzz, but without the alcoholic fuzziness. The vibrant jolts of pleasure had him gasping as his hips jerked with every return of Reid’s mouth to his skin. It was amazing, and terrifying all at once as he breathed Reid’s name, once, then again to the bob of the older man’s head.
Reid hummed, a coaxing, encouraging sound. ‘Come on’ he thought to himself as he watched Luke’s movements become more erratic. He was getting close, and it would just take a little more, before he would let go. He hummed again, louder, firming his lips around the tip of the blond’s length delicately and sucking in hard.
It wasn’t Luke’s fault that he couldn’t hang on any longer. This sort of extreme pleasure wasn’t in his experience. He’d kissed and been kissed, had sex, but this? He thought he was going to lose his mind as he cried out breathlessly, hips jerking hard as he arched himself into that hungry mouth. Heat rushed through him, leaving him shaking and completely blown away when he came back to himself.
His ears were roaring, and it felt like every part of his skin was tingling as Reid leaned back slowly. He could just spot a bit of white-flecked moisture on Reid’s bottom lip. Luke blushed hotly when Reid winked at him and licked his lips in pleasure.
“Mmm, thank you. Your body was so wired, I thought it’d take a while before you did let go.” Reid hummed as Luke panted.
“You…you swallowed?”
“Of course. After watching your face in that euphoria, it was my pleasure. Always does the ego a bit of good to see someone stupefied after a good blowjob.”
Luke laughed raggedly, smirking up at the self-confident man. “Something tells me that your ego needs no help in that department.”
“Touché.” Reid drawled, smirking back at him, before he allowed Luke to pull him back down. Bracing his arms over him, he admired the flushed glow on the blond’s cheeks. “You all right?”
“Wonderful.” Luke murmured with a smile, before he leaned up to kiss him lightly. “I’m a little tingly, but…”
“That’s natural.” Reid snorted, amused as he brushed his fingers over Luke’s cheek. “Considering it looked like you were going to combust right at the end there.”
“Pretty proud of yourself, are you?” Luke murmured, leaning into the slightly cooler touch of the man’s fingers.
“Oh, yeah. When it comes to blowing the mind of a drop-dead gorgeous man like yourself? I feel pretty damned good.”
Luke laughed. “I have to admit…I’ve never had any experience like that. Not to that extreme, anyways. The sex was good, but…”
“But it was your first, and to that point, anything will feel good?” Reid murmured as he watched the blond nod. “So I score past an eleven then?” He smirked when the younger man laughed again. “Maybe twenty.”
“No one could accuse you of having modesty.”
“Modesty’s just a shtick to make people suck up to you even more.” Reid drawled, enjoying the flash of those dimples at him. “If you’re going to do something, do it good. And considering your reaction, it is above and beyond my pleasure to give you something that good.” He tapped Luke’s nose lightly. “And…maybe…if you stick around in Dallas long enough…we can have lots more.”
“Really?” Luke breathed eagerly, making the older man chuckle. “I mean…seriously, Reid. You’re handsome, experienced, you obviously know what you want…you seriously want to see more out of me, some guy out of town whose experience rate levels about a three?”
“I like the way you respond when I touch you.” Reid hummed against the blond’s ear, knowing that Luke would blush again. “It’s attractive, knowing that it’s me that’s making you feel that way. And I want to show you more. All the pleasure and experience that you can stand.”
“Now…how am I supposed to say no to that?” Luke whispered, turning his head to smile into those blue eyes as he lifted a hand to smooth down the curls he’d ruffled with the grip of his fingers. “I’d like to see more of you, Reid. I mean…if you’re willing.”
“Oh, I’m willing.” Reid agreed as he gazed down at him. There was just something about him…he wanted to keep him around. “What about you?”
Luke leaned up to kiss him again, sliding his fingers around the nape of Reid’s neck and pulling him down so the kiss lingered, slow and with a low burn of pleasure. “Yeah.” he breathed against his mouth. “I’m definitely willing.”
The younger man was gifted with a flash of a smile, before Reid pulled back reluctantly, snickering when Luke whined. “That’s enough for now. Your boss will kill me if you’re too weak-kneed to dance properly. Come on, get dressed. I’ll treat you to something to eat before your break ends.”
“Aren’t you sweet.” Luke replied as he sat up, somewhat shakily that he nearly toppled into Reid. “But um…what about…”
“Hmm?” Reid replied, glancing down when Luke’s fingers gestured below the belt. He smirked at the slightly flustered blond, and kissed the corner of his mouth. “What? This?” he purred as he lightly caught Luke’s fingers and pressed them against the evident bulge underneath the black jeans, his eyes meeting Luke’s as the blond licked his lips. “Down, boy. You don’t need to worry about that, I’m a big boy.”
“But…I mean…”
“Another time. If the offer still stands.”
Luke bit his lip when Reid winked, and the suggestive slither of his fingers over Reid’s bulge caused him to nod breathlessly. “Definitely.”
“Good.” Reid pulled himself back before he got lost in the eager touch. Once Luke had gotten himself put back together, he helped the blond to his feet, plopping the blond’s hat back onto his head. “C’mon.”
Luke tottered after Reid, still a little shaky as he pulled his vest back to rights on his torso, and headed out of the office with him. His knees still shook. Reid slid into a booth and he followed after eagerly, grinning when Reid promptly ordered half of the club’s menu after a few minutes with a waiter.
“Hungry?” he laughed as Reid smirked at him with a twinkle in his eye.
“Famished. But I do have a healthy appetite.”
“I’ll say.” Luke replied cheekily, enjoying the laughter he received from the older man. He had a nice laugh. Nice smile, too. Maybe he’d get to see them more often, especially if he had his way. There was something about Reid. He had never been so attracted to a guy upon the get go. Certainly not during or after Noah. There was just some spark, and he was going to find out what that spark was. After Noah, and all the fighting they’d been doing, it was nice to have something so exciting, so interesting, so uniquely *mutual* with someone. For the second time since arriving in Dallas, he truly felt that this was what he needed. A new job, a man that was interested in him and was not afraid to let him know. After all he’d gone through in Oakdale, it really was just what he needed to focus on.
------
After his makeshift dinner with Reid and watching in amazement when the man proceeded to make his share of the food disappear. After flirting a bit more, Luke had gone back to work, shaking his ass until after midnight. He was exhausted, his legs wobbled (though he wasn’t going to tell Rick that only part of that was from dancing), and he’d made a good night’s work that he was fairly sure that he didn’t have to worry about dipping into his savings for his needs.
He said goodbye to his boss for the night, and skirted around several drunk cowboys that tried to come onto him. Luke looked around, hoping to find Reid, only to jump when a warm hand rested lightly on his waist. He glanced back to the doctor, and grinned at him as they headed out of the club. “Lucky you aren’t taller, wearing cowboy gear or smell like alcohol, or I would’ve hit you…guys get really direct when they’re drunk.”
“Alcohol makes them more daring…or stupid.” Reid drawled as he headed out into the warm night with him. “Can I drop you off anywhere? I have a shift in the morning.”
“Aw, and I was hoping I’d be able to get you to come with me.” Luke teased lightly, playing with the older man’s shirt collar as Reid chuckled.
“Tempting. Really, really tempting, but I don’t go for first night things. Too much like one night stands.”
Luke gazed at him curiously, his expression thoughtful. “Sounds like you speak from experience on that one.”
“Not my thing.” Reid agreed. “If I’m going to see someone, it’s not going to be some one time thing. If I set myself up to be into someone and put myself out there, it’s going to be more permanent than that.”
The blond smiled. “I’ll have to keep that in mind.”
“You do that.” Reid smirked at him. “So…where are you living at? Hotel room…?”
“Something a little more permanent than that. I have a place rented out close by. Who knows? I might make it permanent.”
Reid shared a grin with him, and headed out into the parking lot. “Sounds promising.” he hummed, escorting him to his car.
“I’d like to think so.”
The ride back to his place was comfortable, with little bits of flirting and joking. As Luke stood at his doorstep, he glanced at the older man with a smile.
“Sure I can’t talk you in for the night?”
Reid chuckled softly. “Like I said, the offer’s tempting.” More tempting than it ever had been from anyone else, actually. That smile, those eyes, that body…he forced himself to not just grab the blond and head in with him, restraining himself to cupping Luke’s face in his hands and bringing him closer for a sound kiss. He smirked at the dazzled expression he left in his wake when he pulled back, before he kissed him again and stepped away. “Night, Luke.”
“Night, Reid.” Luke murmured, somewhat breathless as he gazed after him, before he smiled and headed inside, waving to him from the doorway before closing the door with a sigh, smiling to himself.
It was as he was getting ready to turn in for the night that his cellphone rang. He glanced at his watch before grabbing up the phone and answering it.
“Hi, mom. You’re still up?” he smiled as he padded for the bedroom.
“I tried to call earlier, but your phone was turned off…is everything all right, sweetie?” Lily’s voice had a note of concern that made Luke smile.
“I’m fine, mom. I just had to work, I got off about a half hour ago.”
“Work? You found a job down there? Well…that’s…good. We miss you, honey. Why, we were just talking to Noah--”
“Noah?” Luke replied, straightening in surprise with a small frown. “Is he there?”
“Yes, sweetie, he came for a visit…um…do you want to talk to him?”
A few weeks ago, he would’ve leapt at the chance. Of course, that had been before Noah had ripped into him for the latest thing he didn’t do right by Noah Mayer standards. Now, Luke sighed, not wanting to ruin his good mood.
“No, mom, I’m about to head off to bed. Just tell him hey, and I hope he’s doing okay.” he replied as he slid into bed, running his fingers through his hair. He just wanted to linger in the day he’d had, and the gorgeous man he’d spent time with.
“All right, Luke. It’s pretty late, there, too, so I’ll let you go. Call you in the morning?”
“Sure thing, mom. Give dad a hug for me. Love you.”
“Love you, too, Luke. Goodnight.” Lily replied, and hung up the phone, chewing absently on a fingernail in thought.
“How’s Luke? Is he okay?”
This came from the young man sitting in their living room, and the woman shared a glance with Holden, before she turned her gaze to Noah.
“He’s doing just fine, Noah. Seems that he’s doing very well, actually.”
Holden furrowed his brow at her curiously as Noah blinked.
“What do you mean? How?”
Lily deliberated on her words, then decided to be honest with the young man, even if he and Luke had split up. She took a deep breath. “I think he’s met someone, Noah.”
She wasn’t surprised when the mug of cocoa the young man held in his hands slipped from his grasp and fell to the floor.
