After the gala Johnny had walked me to my car. We had enjoyed our night, but I had one person on my mind and it was Luke. I had tried to keep my composure and continue the night as if nothing was bothering, because I truly was trying to move forward with life. But Luke surprising me tonight and of all things basically telling me he had feelings for years, even before Tuck has got my mind warped.
Johnny gently kisses my cheek, "I hope we can have dinner one night and catch up some more. It was really great seeing you."
I smiled back and gave him a simple nod and wished him a good night. I got in my car and just started crying. I cried about not having Tuck there, while having Luke here, but only after he had not been there for me and I couldn't quite get over that. What was I to do with all this information. Of course I would love to have Luke back as my best friend, but I don't know if I can after the night we spent together. Just sitting there watching him sing, dressed in a tux, all I could think about was stripping him down and taking him in my mouth. Gosh, I was so fucked up. I know I didn't want to do that again cause mentally it has made me sick, but physically it was all I wanted.
I sat there and argued with myself for at least fifteen minutes and finally decided I would try the friend thing if the opportunity presented itself, which I honestly didn't think it would since he lives almost eight hours away.
I put my car in park and drove off knowing I had made the right decision and happy to move forward. But I still felt uneasy. When I arrived home I went in, undressed and put some shorts and a tank top on. I figured the best thing for me right now was a late night run.
I was in about five miles and had got close to Huley Bridge. I occasionally stopped here and would talk to Tuck. This was were he had passed away and for some reason when I came here, as sad as it was, I felt closer to him. Tonight was no different as I whispered to the air, "Tuck, I miss you. I know I have made a mess out of an already big mess. I'm sorry. But I need guidance and I need to move on. I hope you understand, I will always love you." I swear it felt like a weight had lifted off me. I have never felt peace leaving here, but tonight felt different. I started to run back home as a car had pulled up, I kept my pace trying to ignore it and as it got closer I heard a window roll down. Luke was right I should carry protection. I start building my pace up as I hear a familiar voice.
"E, what are you doing out here so late?" He's jumping out the car and you can see legit concern on his face as I stop mid run.
"What are you doing here Luke? You scared the crap out of me."
"See this is why I told you, you should carry protection or better yet not run at night. Who knows what creep would grab you up."
I couldn't help but laugh. "Luke, I am not changing my life up on the fact of being scared."
"Emma, can you at least get in the car and let me take you home tonight. I want be able to leave and that will be a slow ride home if I follow you."
"Are you saying I am slow? Last I checked I out ran you last time." We both giggled, but then it got quiet, I am sure he was thinking about the last time we ran and what it led to, just as I was.
"Come on, you can be a lunatic any other night." I contemplated and finally gave in and got in his car.
On the way to my house, which was a short drive, you could hear a pin drop. I don't think neither of us knew what to say, but the sexual tension was there, at least for me it was. He pulled into the driveway and we both got out. He walked me to the door.
"Thanks for bringing me home, even though I would of been just fine."
He smiled, "I am sure you would've been, but I enjoyed your company, even if it was very quiet." It took everything in me not to reach up and kiss that smirk. Instead I stupidly replied with, "you want to come in?"
"Sure."
What was I thinking. Things were going to fast for me and my need for him was very present whether he noticed or not. It's ok I can get through a few minutes of him visiting and he will be on his way. He comes in and sits on the couch and I sat across from him.
"Do you want something to drink?"
"Thanks, but I probably won't stay for long." He looked almost pained. I think he was really trying to show restraint and not push me.
"So, E, are you working still or volunteering?"
"I applied at a couple elementary schools this week and after tonight I am considering volunteering back at the hospital. Talking with Johnny reminded me of things I missed when it came to volunteering. Especially the kids."
"Johnny? Was that the guy you came with tonight?" Do I sense jealousy?
"No. We ran into each other. His son was one of the kids I volunteered with. Luckily he was a success story." After telling him that it looked like he was relieved. Maybe he thought I was on a date. Not that I wouldn't date Johnny, but I don't know if I am ready for that.
We sit there in silence and he finally says, "I can head out if you want, that way you can get ready for bed." It was getting close to one in the morning and I had not realized how late it was.
"Ok. Maybe I will see you around town if you ever come back to visit."
Luke turns around and whispers to me "E, I am going to come back, I am not leaving you again. I plan on being the best damn friend you could ask for." He stared in my eyes and was five inches from my face. I couldn't help, but want to kiss him. I know I shouldn't but being so close and hearing him whisper to me has me all kinds of turned on.
He pushes back a piece of hair behind my ear, "I can see you need me. Physically. Let me take care of your needs and we can still be friends, no pressure." Did he really just say that. Am I that obvious? What do I do, I obviously do want him but don't want to give him the wrong impression. Before I can respond he lifts me up and is holding me up against the wall in the foyer and is literally brushing my lips as he asks me, "do you want me to stop?"
I whimpered out a "no". There was no stopping Luke Abram. He was physically a woman's dream come true. He crushed into me making me feel high just off his kiss. He was still holding me up as he pull my tank top and sports bra off. I felt so exposed, but in a good way as I watched him admire my body. He cups my breast with one hand while holding me up with the other. I swear I could go off his touch. He takes my nipple in his mouth and I swear I am about to go. He starts to carry me to my bedroom where he lays me down and takes my shorts off.
"You are so perfect Emma." If words could make me come undone, his words would. He begins to take his clothes off and his whole body is exposed. I soak up the image of him. I take the opportunity to grab him and slowly start to lick his length as he looks down, "God, you're going to make come off your mouth." I am taking every part of him and it has me so turned on. "Emma, I am about to come," he warns me but I hold tight as he begins to come and I take him in my mouth. I pull back and he pushed me back and whispers in my ear, "you're going to be the death of me." He starts kissing my neck and slowly kissing down to my stomach, his fingers have already found my opening and I am already rocking against him and about to go when he pulls out. I figured he wouldn't be ready to go so soon, but was I wrong. He was entering me and the fullness I had been yearning for was there. I felt complete and as he began rocking I could feel myself coming close to unraveling. He turned me over and from behind he was able to go even deeper. It felt amazing . He reached around and started to rub my clit and I was done. I had never had a orgasm so amazing. I swear I was seeing stars. We laid down and he took me in and we cuddled. I whispered to him, "Luke this doesn't change anything. I still want to be friends, I can't be in a relationship."
"I know Emma. Just try not to worry and enjoy this moment." Shortly after I was out.
