One Night

Chapter Four- Worlds Away

Feeling his tension, I kept from kissing him and instead moved back to my flat feet. 

"This is only going to complicate things…" he commented as his eyes locked deeply onto mine. 

"So you think you can handle it?" I asked with a flirtatious tone while my fingers traced the tops of his shoulders. 

"I can hold my own." With this response, he pulled me in slowly by my waist to test if I was still willing to consent to a kiss. Unable to spare another second without the electrifying performance of our joined lips, I brought him in to me with my hands on either of his cheeks. The tough stubble sent fire to my core as I recalled how it felt between my legs before. 

Reminiscing of our last time spent in a hotel, I reached for his belt before he walked me slowly towards the far wall. 

"There isn't a rush." He spoke out of breath before moving his hands to my shirt, pulling it from my dark denim waistband. "And we need to stay quiet…" he reminded me while my eyes moved momentarily to Lila who was positioned to where I could just see her feet.

 My eyes closed to the feeling of his lips on my throat, groans left my lips as his tongue then accompanied this motion. "God…" I muttered as a smile formed between the kisses on my skin. Painfully slow, Luke pulled the buttons of my shirt free until my bra was exposed to him. Without missing a beat, he dipped his head to the top portions of my breasts and kissed the vulnerable skin. 

"I've been thinking of you since I last saw you…" he spoke to me while slipping his hand between my legs and rubbing hard yet slowly through the fabric of my jeans. "The things you make me feel...all those dirty things I want to say…" he smirked to himself before looking into my eyes. "It is more than one night to me…" he paused while watching me wince as he continued to pleasure me with his prodding fingers. "I thought of all the things I wanted to do-" 

I stopped him as I unzipped my pants and slid his hand against my core. He smiled knowing how damp he had made me. 

"And say…," he continued. "But more than anything...I wanted to make you come again." I gasped as he dropped to the floor while tearing my pants down along with him. When he rose back up, he unzipped his own jeans and removed his belt just as Lila began crying. 

"s**t!" I spoke under my breath. 

"It's okay...what does she need?"

"To be fed…" I spoke annoyed at the interruption. He gave me a smile before fixing his pants, prompting me to do the same as I knew the moment had come to an end, and picking up Lila. The pride in his eyes led my heart to race even faster before she was placed in my arms. 

Luke was a gentleman even though he was about to devour me a few seconds prior. His back turned, I lifted my shirt and proceeded to get Lila to latch before she filled up on my milk. When I placed her back down, she was asleep, her eyes flickering from open to closed in her dream state. 

"You don't have to turn away…" I informed him as he chuckled and blushed, his innocence having now returned since I was not at his s****l disposal anymore; if he only knew how much I was…

"It's all still new to me." I nodded in agreement before feeling him slide closer to me. "But I want to learn...and I want to find out if she is mine." My heart stopped. In all honesty, I knew in my heart that she was his; she looked like him and the way they bonded just yelled this truth to me. However, there was a small possibility that it could have been Nate's paternity in question instead. I didn't want to know the truth..which was why I never subjected myself to know. 

But now a new fear had entered my mind. What if Nate was her father? I would lose Luke as well as a part of myself with him. For this reason, I remained silent. But as always, it seemed as though Luke could read my mind. 

"Even if she isn't mine...I want to be in her life because I need to be a part of yours." His words eased the painful cracks in my heart as I slowly nodded to him-agreeing to know the truth; petrified of what it would change.
