Chapter 16. Luke's Addiction

Luke

Long dark curls cover my face. Soft nibbles on my lower lip send jolts of pleasure to my member. She whispers naughty words against my mouth, but I can't hear them. Suddenly she pulls back and I'm faced with piercing green eyes and pin straight blonde hair.

"I want you Luke. I've always wanted you."

"Lucy?" I asked confused.

"Who else would it be?" She snorted. Then I watched as her face contorted into rage. "You're thinking of HER again!" She accused me.

I closed my eyes and braced for the slap that never came. When I opened them again I was on the edge of a massive waterfall, about to go over the edge. I shot up heart racing and sweat drenching my body as if I just ran five miles. I looked over at the clock that illuminated the time. 4:30am, I groaned. Shit there's no way I'm going to be able to fall back asleep, I might as well take a shower and start my day. Sawyer and her friends will be arriving in just a few short hours and I should pick up the house a bit.

Things have been a little hectic around good ole Casper. It has the small town feel surrounded by rugged terrain and beautiful undisturbed nature. Emphasis on the "small town" part. Lucy Hawkins has been spending too much time at my shop, doing whatever she can to flirt with me or spend time with me. Of course this only started happening when Lucy found out Sawyer was bringing Serenity home for the holidays. Yesterday she got a bit out of hand and I finally had to threaten to tell Sam, her meathead boyfriend, about her coming onto me. It's not like I don't find her attractive, but I grew up with her being my baby sister's best friend. She's family and frankly her personality kind of sucks as of late anyway. She used to be outgoing, wild, care free; but after Sawyer left last winter, Lucy slowly started to close off. She stopped coming around, started hanging out with the snobby loose townies. Eventually I'd only see her when we made trips up to visit my sister. That only changes now when Serenity comes to town.

Serenity is the only girl who has ever made me pause. The second I saw her walk into my house, I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. She's the kind of girl that can command the entire room to watch her with a simple look, one that were this older times war would be waged over her. When our eyes finally connected I lost my breath. I watched as a fire sparked in her eyes. I knew instantly she was dangerous to me. That she alone could wreck me for any other woman if I wasn't careful.

Being with Serenity is like having an addiction. She's my drug of choice. She makes me want things I know I'm not ready to have. I also know she's not ready for any of that either. We've agreed to keep it strictly casual between us. We have sex, text and talk on the phone, and see each other when we find an excuse to, but that's where it ends. We don't make any future plans, our social media still reads single, and we're allowed to hook up with other people. Although, I keep any other girl that's interested at arms length. Serenity is enough for me right now, especially after the shit show that was my last relationship.

The front door flew open followed by loud feminine giggles and whispers. The timer for the oven dinged and I announced, "You're just in time for lunch, I made pizza!" I heard three "Hell yeses" followed by more giggling. Sawyer was the first to come into the kitchen. She ran up to me and threw her arms around my neck as I picked her up and twirled her around. It has been a long while since she greeted me like that, well before the incident with our father.

"Woah! You seem extra excited to see your big bro. What's going on?" I teased. She let go of me and as I set her back onto her feet. She had a full ear to ear grin. My heart swelled with happiness. I haven't seen that smile since before our mother died. Whatever was going, was huge. That's when I noticed the smallest tear run down her cheek. "What's the matter Boog?" I asked. She looked up at me, eyes full of tears but she still held that grin.

"I'm just so happy to see you!" She wiped at her tears with the sleeve of her sweater. "Buttttt, enough of that! There's someone else who wants to see you too. Maria and I are tired from the flight so we're going to my room to take a nap." She wiggled her eyebrows at me and then attempted to wink. It was awful, but I caught her meaning.

"Get out of here you weirdo." I gently pushed Sawyer towards the door. Truth was, I couldn't wait to see Serenity. Sawyer stalked out of the kitchen and I waited until her footsteps faded up the stairs. I swiftly crept towards my bedroom, the place I knew I'd find her in. As I approached the door, I heard the water running. She knows me so well, shower sex is one of my favorites. Without any further hesitation I stripped out of my clothes and locked my bedroom door. There was to be no interruptions or distractions for the next hour... or two.
