For Keeps

23. Luke

I wake up and Scarlett is gone. I start to panic, until I smell fresh coffee. And is that bacon?
I walk to the kitchen and see her cooking with headphones in. Wearing my shirt and shaking her hips to the music. I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist.
She jumps and yanks the ear buds out.
"Fuck. You scared me!" She says breathless.
"Sorry. You just looked so cute..." I say kissing her neck.
"Whatever. I look like crap. Are you hungry." 
"In more ways than one." I say smacking her ass.
"Behave." She giggles.
"If I must."

We eat breakfast then clean up the kitchen.
I love doing things together. It makes them more fun.

"I should probably go shower." She smiles.
"By yourself?" I didn't mean to say out loud. "I mean- um." I slap my palm to my face.
"You can come." She whispers.
I look up and she meets my eyes.
"I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable." I say.
"You won't." She sighs and walks towards me. "I know I said slow, but I think we are past that. Don't you?" She says as she runs her fingers down my chest.
"Okay." I say looking at her lips.
"Good. Now that it's settled... your shower or mine?" She smiles big.
"Whichever. Mine is fine." I say.
"Okay. I'm going to grab my stuff. I'll be right back." She says grabbing her keys.

About five minutes later she knocks on my door.
"You could have just came in." I laugh.
"Right. Sorry." She smiles.
I kiss her lightly on the lips.
"You brushed your teeth." I smile.
"So did you." She laughs.
"Great minds think alike." I kiss her again.
We walk to the bathroom together and I turn on the water.
While it's warming up we both stand there.
She's biting her bottom lip and I can't help but smile.
I walk over to her and pull the t-shirt over her head.
I kiss her lips softly as my hands undo her bra. I slide the straps down her arms and suck in a sharp breath as her bra hits the floor.
"Wow." I whisper and her cheeks get red. I catch her hands as she tries to cover herself. "Nope." I say and lean in and kiss her.
The bathroom starts steaming up as I move my hands and slip off her thong.
My heart is pounding in my chest but I can't take my eyes off of her as I slip out of my boxers.
My attraction to her is evident as I spring free.
Her eyes go wide as she bites her bottom lip.
"After you." I say and motion to the shower.
"You just want to stare at my ass." She smiles.
I nod while she just shakes her head.

We get in the water and it's surprisingly the perfect temperature. She wets her hair and starts shampooing. The smell of citrus fills the shower.
I watch the white soapy suds wash down her whole body.
"Liking the show?" She catches me.
"I very much am."
"Perv." She winks.
"Your perv." I say and wrap my arms around her. She leans up and kisses my lips slowly.
Instantly my body comes alive. I deepen the kiss pulling her as close as I can.
The warm water cascades over our bodies as I pick her up and press her back against the shower. Her legs wrap around my waist and I can't help but think how close I am to taking us to the next step.
"I need you." She says as I'm kissing her neck.
I look at her beautiful face; her eyes full of desire.
"Are you sure?" I ask.
"Yes." She smile. "Just not in the shower... yet." She kisses me.
I shut off the water and carry her to my bedroom not caring about water dripping to the floor.
I put her on the bed and she moves up towards the headboard.
"Fuck you're beautiful." I say admiring her naked body.
I kiss my way up left leg and when I get to the top of her thigh I move to her right ankle. She covers her eyes as I begin my slow assult up her leg, taking extra time on her inner thigh.
I push her legs open and lick small circles around her clit.
"Luke..."
I love when she moans my name.
I insert two fingers into her and slowly pump in and out.
Her hips move with every thrust of my fingers and I can tell she is already getting close.
Her legs shake as she moans my name over and over.
I stop and lean over to the night stand and grab out a condom.
I roll it on and hover over her as I trail soft kisses over her collar bones.
Her heart is beating fast and I worry momentarily that she isn't ready.
I kiss her lips slowly then lean back and look at her.
"Are you-"
"Shhh. Yes. I'm positive." She leans up and kisses me, then pulls me down to her.
I kiss her deeply with everything I have.
"I love you. So much." I say.
"I love you." She smiles.
"I don't know what I would to without you." I say needing her to know how I feel.
"You'll never have to know." She pulls me back down to her mouth, she gently bites my bottom lip and it sends me over the edge.
I lean in and slowly enter her.
Fuck. She's tight. I have to stop and I'm only halfway in.
"Are you okay?" She breaths.
"Me? Are you?" I look at her with wide eyes.
"Yes, just keep moving." She pushes her hips up.
"Are you sure you're not a virgin." I laugh.
"Shhh." She rolls her eyes and rocks into me.
I push the rest of the way in.
Her nails dig into my back.
"Sorry." She whispers.
"Don't be." I say and kiss her.
I keep a slow pace as I move in and out of her. She feels so fucking good I don't ever want to stop.
She wraps her legs around me and I run my hand along her thigh.
I look at her and she smirks.
"My. Turn." She says in between breaths.
She moves back far as I slide out of her. I'm pretty sure I groan from the loss of contact.
"On your back." She says.
"Yes ma'am." I do as she says and she gets on top of me, slowing lowering onto me. She stops and screws her eyes shut for a minute taking deep breaths.
"You okay?" I ask leaning up on my elbows.
"Yes. You're just... you're huge." She says as she begins moving.
My hands move to her hips as I rock her on me. As she picks up speed, my hands move to her boobs. I massage them and lightly squeeze her erect nipples. Her head tilts back as she bites her bottom lip. Fuck I want to bite her lip.
I grab her hips and sit up wrapping her legs around me making her gasp.
My hands rest on her waist as her arms wrap around my neck.
I kiss her making sure to suck on her bottom lip; which makes her moan.
I'm getting so close, but I want her to come again.
"Scarlett," I whisper in her ear. I move her hips faster and feel her body tensing.
"Lucas. Fuck." She says closing her eyes.
"Keep them open." I say "I want to watch you." She opens her eyes and they don't leave mine.
She comes and covers her mouth while almost yelling my name. It's so hot that I follow right after her.

We sit there a while longer trying to catch our breaths, eyes locked on each other.
I tuck a half dry, wavy piece of hair being her ear.
"That was amazing." I say and kiss her.
"Mmmhmmm." She says.
"That's all I get?" I smile.
"Mmmmhmmm." She says again and kisses me.
I move her off me and lay on the bed, pulling her with me.
I stroke her hair as she traces the tattoo on my ribs.
"I love you." She whispers.
I kiss her. "I love you."
"That was... amazing. I still feel high." She smiles.
"It was the greatest. So great, in fact that I can't wait to do it again."
"Whoa there Captain, I need to be able to walk tomorrow."
I laugh. "I'll just carry you everywhere."
"Okay, but I'll get heavy."
"Never."
"You're crazy." She giggles.
"And you're beautiful." I kiss her nose then look down. "And you have the greatest boobs in the world."
"Oh gosh." She says blushing.
"What! You do. They are perfect."
"Thanks. I made them myself." She shakes her head laughing.
"I better inspect to be sure." I say moving down to her chest.
I suck and lightly bite on each nipple.
"Fuck." She moans. I continue sucking on each one as my hands move south.
I start fingering her and rubbing her clit.
She runs her hands through my hair as she bucks her hips.
"Luke, please." She whispers.
"Please what?" I ask.
"Please. Inside me. Now." She says in between moaning.
I move and grab another condom, roll it on, and we spend the better pat of the next hour making love.

That night I fall asleep holding the woman who has my entire heart, and while she sleeps peacefully in my arms, I can't help but hold her tighter when I imagine the scared broken girl she used to be.
As I drift off, I silently promise to always treat her like she deserves to be treated.
"For keeps." I whisper in the dark room. I kiss her forehead before falling to sleep.
