Southern Hospitality

Chapter 26

Walking inside Luke's home always gave me a warm feeling. Being around him just calmed me in  ways I never though I could experience. He's always brought a new side out of me and sometimes it was scary how much power he had over me

Going into the living room I gave him a sour look as clothes and toys were everywhere. I've told him multiple times he can't leave Landon's stuff out like this and have such a messy house

"Darlin, before you say anything. I was gonna clean it up" he laughed with Landon wrapped in his arms 

I rolled my eyes as I started to pick up the toys and toss them in the bin. I understand Luke is a busy man and with a kid it gets hard alone. So, I don't argue  much and always help where I can. Nana jokes and says I'm practically Luke and Landons mother...

Finishing up the toys I moved onto the random clothes he had laying around the couch. Most were a mixture of Landons and his so I decided to fold them in separate piles and head upstairs to see if they needed to be washed or not

Luke's house was way bigger than nana's he had wider space and a much bigger backyard but that makes sense since he's the only one in this area really. At first when I came here it was a little scary that he lived this far outside of town alone but it began to grow on me and I was beginning to see why he likes it

Nana is about 10 min from town and has surrounding neighbors, there is always somebody knocking at the door to sell something or chat. Being from the city you'd think I'd love that but honestly I'm tired of it... being out here with Luke made me feel like we were utterly alone in our own world and I happened to love it a lot 

Freedom to do what you want without nosy neighbors or claustrophobic buildings surrounding you. Walking up the stairs I went towards Landon's room and paused as I watched Luke care for him. It melted my heart how much he loved Landon, their bond was precious and something I could only pray for in a family 

Since Landon's school incident I think they've grown a lot closer and Luke has even told me he's been acting better in school. I said him playing baseball did the trick but Luke believes it was me talking to him

"Oh, you didn't have to fold those" Luke said standing up as he walked to the door 

"I didn't know if they were dirty or not" I blushed as we left Landon's room and went to Luke's 

"No they are clean, I'll take them from you though" he said grabbing the clothes 

Once we entered his room, I decided to get comfortable as I wasn't leaving till we had this conversation. I had slept over countless of times so I went inside Luke's closet looking for his sweatpants and hoodie 

I always liked to take his clothes as for some reason they were warmer than mine. Stripping from my work clothes I picked through the drawers in my underwear for my signature look. I didn't notice Luke walk back into the room until I felt his arms snake around my waist 

"If you're looking for my sweats they're all dirty darlin" he whispered kissing my shoulder 

I shuttered a bit from the sudden action but stayed calm. I was disappointed he had no clean sweats but decided to just go with an overside T-shirt for tonight. Turning around I pressed my lips against his and fell into a passionate make-out 

I was still in my bra and underwear but didn't care as Luke's hands roaming my butt was blinding me. What was supposed to be a romantic date turned into a steamy night inside, I always loosed my mind when Luke showered me with affection 

He just had this power over me whenever we touched, I had no idea what it was but I loved every moment

"You... need to let me... put some clothes... on" I moaned in-between the kiss
