Only Her

“Can I do anything?”
“You not feeling so resentful?” He asked.
She sighed. “I don’t want to see you in pain Luka,” she told him. Her tone of voice was soft. Her words without malice.
He nodded and leaned back against the swing. He rocked them with one foot. She turned a little on the seat. “Was it worth it Luka? To do this to your body?”
He looked at her then he patted her thigh. “The only thing not worth it Sky was that I lost you and never tried to make it right,” Luka admitted to her.
“Why don’t you take a shower. Dinner will be ready in an hour. Maybe the heat from a warm shower will loosen you up.”
“Maybe,” he agreed.
Luka rose from his seat on the swing and walked towards the front door. At the last minute he turned catching Skylar watching him. His eyebrow rose in question. What was she looking at?
“See something you like Skylar?” He had to tease her. He had to ease the tension growing between them and get them back on even ground.
“Anyone or anything can ease my frustrations Luka,” she scoffed rolling her eyes at him.
“You think so,” he replied.
She met his gaze full of heat without wavering. “I do.”
“So Tag made you feel like I do,” he challenged her.
Skylar licked her lips with a nervous flick of her tongue. Her gaze that had been locked on his wavered for a moment. He noticed the slight tremble of her hand. “I thought not.” Then he went inside.
“Asshole,” he heard as the screen door shut behind him. He chuckled as he went up the stairs full of confidence once more. He had the upper hand at the moment.

Luka came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist just as Skylar came out of her room. He had another towel drying his hair with it. His room was to his left but for some reason he turned right towards her.
His skin was warm and moist from the shower. “You left bruises on my ass,” he informed her.
“Poor baby.” He blocked her from getting down the steps.
“If you want to eat tonight, move yourself.”
His arm with the towel dropped to his side. “I want to eat all right,” he told her. He ran his finger down her cheek. She looked away. “You look pretty damn good tonight Skylar.”
“Luka,” she said just his name. A warning or a plea, he didn’t know which.
She was being aloof, keeping him at arm’s length. That wasn’t going to work. He stepped closer. He slipped his arm around her. She pressed her hand to his bare chest to prevent him from pulling her any tighter to him. Big mistake. Her fingers slightly trembled across his skin. She was testing the feel of him. “Stop Luka,” she whispered.
His breathe was warm against her face. “What if I don’t want to?”
She turned her head as he was about to slide his lips across hers. The pressure of her hand against his chest increased. He dropped the towel to the floor. The one wrapped around him was barely hanging on. He nuzzled Skylar’s face with his nose soaking up her scent, soft like the Lavender that she grew by the house.
Now both Skylar’s hands were pressing against Luka’s chest. Her head tipped back as if she were trying to get away from him. He touched his lips to her throat and she gasped. Those hands of hers…her fingertips danced across his skin and her arms encircled his neck drawing him closer.
His breath was hard coming out of his lungs. Each one painful and labored as he struggled to take in air. He had worn her down. He found her lips. Luka cupped the back of Skylar’s head holding her head in place. His tongue found hers and danced with it in her mouth. She moaned. He knew then that she was his.
Her body arched against his. That towel was all that separated them. His cock was getting so hard, the only thing holding it up was their bodies pressed together. He moved them until she was flush against the wall with his body straining against hers.
Luka lifted her off her feet and the towel dropped to the floor. Skylar wrapped her legs around him. His hardness pressed harshly against her center. There was no mistaking his need for her. She dug her heels into his firm ass. He growled in her ear.
“Say you want me Sky. Tell me how much you need me.”
