Luke’s shoulders sank. “Jesus, our little group, I swear. It’s a good thing we ran out of boys for Meg and Taylor.”
I giggled and nodded my head. Walking to Luke, I placed my hands on his chest. “I want to go home.”
Luke’s eyes lit up. “Your wish is my command, Lib.”
Opening the passenger door to his truck, I jumped in. Luke leaned in and kissed me quickly on the lips before shutting the door. Making his way around the front of his truck, he waved to someone. Looking I saw it was Colt. He was walking up to Luke, and he was alone. That was a good sign. They spoke for a few seconds and Luke shook Colts hand. I watched as Colt made his way into the parking lot.
The door opened and Luke got in. “Colt’s heading home. Alone.”
I let out the breath I was holding. “Good.”
Luke pulled out of the parking lot and looked over at me. “Did I tell you? I bought you a new toy?”
Squeezing my legs together I whispered, “Hurry home.”
OPENING MY EYES, I squinted from the sun shining through the window. I stretched and moaned softly. Luke had his wicked way with me last night and I was relishing in every succulent memory. His lips softly kissing my body, his mouth on my mouth, his unbelievable ability to make love to me, and make it feel like the first time every time.
Smiling, I placed my fingertips to my lips. His stubble felt amazing on my body last night, but I was sure I would pay for it today. Pushing back the covers, I walked into the bathroom. One look in the mirror and I knew I had been thoroughly fucked last night. Closing my eyes I hugged myself, then pinched myself.
Nope. Still not dreaming.
Brushing my teeth and throwing my hair up in a ponytail, I turned and walked back into the bedroom. I put on my favorite comfy clothes, and a pair of fuzzy socks. Rubbing my hands down my arms, I made my way downstairs. I had no clue where Luke had snuck off to, especially on such a chilly morning.
As I walked down the stairs, my nose was filled with the smells of coffee, bacon, and pancakes. I reached the bottom step and stopped. Luke was in the kitchen with Lauren. They were cooking and dancing together to Dan + Shay’s “Nothin’ Like You”. Smiling, my heart filled with more love for this man. The way he was making Lauren smile and laugh spoke more than any words could.
Walking over, I sat on the bar stool as Luke gave me a quick wink. “I talked Lauren into making her famous pancakes.”
I raised my eyebrows and smiled bigger. It was nice to see Lauren with a smile on her face. She had seemed sad lately. “What are your plans today, Lauren?” I asked as Luke set a cup of coffee down in front of me.
Lauren sighed. “Study. Then study some more.”
Looking at Luke, my stomach fluttered when our eyes met. I quickly looked away. If I kept looking at him, I was going to pull him back upstairs. Grace came walking into the kitchen and let out a whispered good morning. Pouring her coffee Luke kissed her on the cheek. “Good morning, Sweet Pea. Hope you slept good.” Rolling her eyes she took a sip of coffee and glanced over to me. I smiled and she pulled her coffee from her lips.
Giving me a wicked smile, Grace pointed to me. “Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. You got some serious action last night, didn’t you?”
Gaping my mouth open, I moved about uncomfortably in my seat. Widening my eyes, I looked at her. “W—why do you ask?”
Grace threw her head back and laughed. Shaking her head she took another drink of coffee and moved around the island, she came and sat next to me on the stool. “Let’s see. You have that just-fucked glow about you. Your skin looks chafed, and by the looks of big brother’s stubble, I’d dare say the rest of your body looks the same way.”
Luke smiled bigger as I felt my face warm. “Gesh, Grace.” I looked away from her and saw Lauren grinning from ear to ear.
“I’ll take that as you had a nice evening. Lucky bitch,” Grace said as she reached over and grabbed a piece of bacon.
Grinning, I looked into Luke’s eyes. “I would say it was more than nice.”
“Aww,” Lauren said as she clapped and smiled. “I love y’all together!”
Grace made a gagging sound. “Ew. Gross.”
Giggling, I said, “You brought it up.”
Sighing, Grace nodded her head. “Touché, that I did. What’s the plan for today?” Grace asked, looking directly at Luke.
“I have a huge test to study for so I’ll be staying home today,” Lauren said as she jetted her lower lip out in a pout.
Luke shrugged his shoulders. “Lib, what are we doing today?”
I bit on the inside of my cheek as I attempted to control my desire. “It’s chilly out. I’m down for hanging out at home. Maybe watch a few movies.”
