Luke’s eyes almost popped out of his head but then he gave Shane the most adorable, devilish grin. He kissed his belly and then his cock before removing his fingers and reaching for the condoms.
“I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.”
“Then I suggest you open your present, roll it on and then get playing.”
Luke could barely roll the condom on he was so excited and nervous.
“So uh, want me on my knees?”
“I prefer you like that on your back so I can see your face while I’m making love to you.”
“Oh, ok.”
Shane laid there while Luke kissed him from head to toe, stopping at his lips, neck and nipples. Then he kissed his way back down his belly and teased his cock with his tongue before aligning himself with Shane’s hot ass and pushing his hard cock inside him, never taking his eyes off of Shane’s as he continued to push until he was fully seated inside him.
“You ok? You’re so quiet.”
Shane never had an emotional connection like he had with Luke. It scared him. Right now he was feeling so much more than just pleasure.
“You feel so good inside me.”
Luke loved hearing that and with that said, he started to really move and the more he got Shane moaning the faster he moved. He was trying to hold out as long as he could but when he saw Shane jerking himself off and begin to cum, he let go and came too. He pulled out and then crawled up the bed and kissed Shane. They were both sweaty, sticky and exhausted.
“So what’s it like to have sex with Hartless?”
Luke looked into Shane’s eyes and whispered, “Fucking hot.”
Shane smiled.
CHACE AND KYLE HAD worked through the night. The killer was one step ahead and no matter how many clues, numbers or victims he had left behind, they still couldn’t seem to get that break they needed to catch the sick creature who had now killed nine innocent women.
“Chief Manning has Detectives St. Paul, Donovan, Sawyer and my lil bro Travis coming in for this meeting with the FBI today.”
“Yeah, I also heard he has Little Miss Sunshine coming in with her forensic team. I can’t wait.”
“Chace, you need to get that woman out of your system or she will make you go insane.”
“Pfftt…I am not letting her little hands or her smart mouth touch any part of my sexy body.”
“Tell me, did you picture her hands caressing your body or was she doing it with her mouth when you put together that last statement?”
“Shut the fuck up, Kyle. That woman is the last…”
“Hello!”
Chace looked up and there she stood, that woman.”
“Good morning, Chloe.”
“Doc.”
“I just wanted to drop off these files for you to familiarize yourselves with before our meeting later on today.”
“Thank you, Chloe.”
“Yeah, what he said.”
Chloe put her hand on her hip, tilted her head and gave Chace a dirty look.
“Detective, you are by far one of the rudest men I have ever come across.”
“He’d be in a better mood if he wasn’t pulling an all-nighter with me and was able to get some…”
“Kyle, shut up.”
Chloe chuckled.
“I don’t think it would matter, I can’t imagine anyone wanting to go home with you unless they were highly intoxicated.”
Chace gritted his teeth and his upper lip curled up as if he was going to growl.
“Tell that to the three women I had devouring up this beautiful body of mine the other night. I could nail any woman I wanted to, sober women included.”
Chace dropped the file on the desk and walked out. If he looked at Chloe for one minute longer he may have strangled her.
Kyle leaned over and whispered, “Those women, they were all intoxicated.”
Chloe covered her mouth and giggled.
Ace was up early, actually he never went to bed. He drank until he felt numb. Declan got one of the manager’s to drive him home, since he himself had quite a bit to drink. Ace decided he needed to shower and then head over to the firehouse and file his papers for a transfer. He knew it wouldn’t be an immediate transfer so he planned to see if he could get a leave of absence until the transfer went through.
Lucy needed to talk to Ace. She didn’t care what her parents thought, she loved him. She decided she would go to the house under the pretense of picking up her things and see if she could change his mind.
Ace stepped into the shower and stood there under the hot steamy water for a few minutes just trying to relax. Suddenly the shower door opened and Lucy was there…naked.
“Lucy, you can’t…”
“Ace, please don’t make me go, I…”
“We can’t do this.”
“I know you love me and I love you too.”
Ace stood there with the water beating down on him. He couldn’t take his eyes off of Lucy and that was becoming a growing problem, a problem which was causing his brain to freeze up leaving him to think with his other head.
“I, I do love you but…”
Lucy leapt at Ace. She jumped into his arms and any thought he had of sending her away flew out the shower door. He kissed her so hard, then he lifted her up and Lucy wrapped her legs around him and he rested her back up against the shower wall and slammed his hard cock into her over and over until they were both exhausted and now sitting on the floor of the shower in each other’s arms.
“Yesterday was the worst day of my life Ace, promise you won’t ever leave me again?”
Ace just sat there. He didn’t know what to say. He was sure nothing had changed and her parents were still horrified and angry. Ace cleared his throat as he tried to stand up from the shower floor.
“Unless your parents have had a sudden change of heart…”
Lucy sprung up from the shower floor and grabbed Ace by the wrist as he tried to step out of the shower.
“No, I know you love me. I know you do.”
Ace turned and pulled Lucy into a hug.
“I do love you, so much, Lucy. It’s because I love you so much though that I can’t…”
“Please, please…”
Ace pulled back and held Lucy’s hand.
“Your parents are your world. I never had that and I see the special bond you have with them. I can’t break that bond. I don’t want you to turn your back on your parents. I know that you would end up hating me for it.”
“You could be my family now, we could have one of our own. You’re my future. They will just have to be my…past.”
“They are your present, I’m your past now and there is someone out there that is worthy of you to be your future, Lucy.”
Lucy pulled her hand from Ace’s. She couldn’t hold back the tears anymore.
“You were going to propose, you love me. Why are you doing this to us?”
Ace was a bit shocked that Lucy knew he was going to propose.
“I was going to propose last night.”
“I accept.”
“Lucy you know your father would kick my ass if I married you now. He hates me. He feels betrayed and humiliated. When your brothers finally get a flight back and find out what went down at the wedding, they will come beat the crap out of me too. Thank God their flight home was cancelled or I’d be in ICU right now.”
“We don’t have to tell anyone, we can pack and go to Vegas and then when we get back we will already be married and they will just have to accept it.”
“As tempting as that sounds, unless you have your parents by your side and their blessing, I can’t marry you, Lucy.”
Lucy was crushed. She was never going to change his mind. She started pulling on her clothes while Ace just stood there watching. How could he just throw her away because it was easier than fighting for her? Maybe he didn’t really love her after all?
Ace’s heart was breaking with every article of clothing Lucy put on knowing she was one s
econd closer to leaving him…for good. He had spent his whole life wanting a family, he couldn’t take that away from her. He tried to keep the tears from rolling down his cheeks but once it started he couldn’t stop it. He decided to just walk back into the bathroom. This way he wouldn’t have to physically watch as Lucy left him.
Lucy heard the bathroom door close and her heart immediately felt empty. She grabbed Ace’s suitcase, dumped his clothes on the floor and started tossing hers inside. Now she was becoming angry which was much more manageable to control than pain. When she finished packing up she glanced at the bathroom door and then picked up the suitcase and walked out.
Luke was lying in bed watching Shane sleep. He still couldn’t manage to wipe the smile off his face. They had just gone to bed two hours ago. He had more sex with Shane last night then he had in the past few months. As much as he didn’t want to move he had to pee and if he waited any longer Shane would be waking up in a wet bed. He slowly slid out of the bed so as not to wake Shane and went into the bathroom.
Shane wasn’t sure what woke him up but he was awake and alone. He had hoped Luke would still be in the bed. He had one of the best nights of his life. He couldn’t ever remember feeling so cherished and loved. No, not loved…wanted. He rolled over and was about to call out for Luke but instead he heard what sounded like his phone ringing. He jumped up and went down the hall to grab it. It had been in his pants pocket. By the time he got the phone in his hands it had stopped ringing. He looked and saw that he had five missed calls and enough text messages to keep him busy for an hour. He dialed Declan since all the calls were from him.
“Oh so you’re not dead?”
“Good morning to you too.”
“Shane, where the hell are you? I went by the house last night and this morning and your car is there but you’re not. The gym said you hadn’t come by yet, which by this time you are usually sparring for an hour already and…”
“Calm down, I’m fine. Now tell me why you’ve been looking for me?”
“At first it was because I needed you to sign a check but then I kept looking when I thought you disappeared.”
“I can come by on my way home.”
“I got Ace to sign it.”
“He’s back already?”
“He came back alone.”
“Shit.”
“More like shitfaced. He drank himself numb last night.”
“I can’t believe she said no.”
“She didn’t, he didn’t ask. Apparently, one of the wedding guests was at the bachelorette party and recognized him, made a pass and then when he rejected her she told Lucy’s parents.”
“Fuck.”
“Yeah, he’s a mess.”
“Where is he now?”
“Probably home, passed out, I would imagine.”
“I’ll pass by on my way home.”
“Home? Aren’t you hitting the gym?”
“Maybe later.”
“Shane, what the fuck is going on?”
“Nothing, I’m just tired, I didn’t sleep much last night.”
“Where are you?”
“What difference does it matter where I am?”
“Ok, let me rephrase that then. Who are you with?”
“What’s with the fifty questions?”
“You’re with Robert, aren’t you?”
“Alright, now you’re pissing me off.”
“Answer me, Shane.”
“No, I’m not with him, I swear.”
“You know I only asked because I care.”
“I know and I care about you too. I’ll catch up with you later.”
Shane turned around and Luke was standing in the doorway. Shane smiled but Luke didn’t.
“What’s wrong, Luke?”
“Why couldn’t you tell whoever that was that you care so much about that you were here with me?”
“You’re right. I could have said I was with you but I got so aggravated playing fifty questions that I didn’t.”
“Was that Declan on the phone?”
“Yeah.”
“You know you didn’t have to sneak in here to call him.”
“Luke, it isn’t like that. I woke and heard the phone ringing. I guess maybe you were in the bathroom? I ran to answer it and by the time I grabbed it, it had stopped ringing. I would have walked back to the bedroom but when I looked to see who had called and saw five missed calls from Dec, I thought maybe it was an emergency and I just dialed.”
“So it wasn’t an emergency but he continuously called you?”
“Yes, but he was worried about me.”
“Sounds more like he doesn’t trust you?”
Shane had hoped to stay and have morning sex but Luke wasn’t very happy with him it seemed. He picked up his pants and pulled them on.
“He probably doesn’t trust me with some things.”
“Are you leaving to go see him?”
Shane walked closer to Luke. He wanted to punch Declan for causing trouble between them.
“I don’t know how to say this so I’m just going to throw it all out there, ok? Declan worries about Ace, Chace and I. He can be a pain but he is always right and always gets us out of trouble. Almost like a dad. He asked all of those questions because he thought I was with someone I promised I would never see again. I do need to go but it is because Ace broke up with his girlfriend yesterday and he needs me, not because I want to leave.”
“Is this person you’re not supposed to see another guy?”
Shane nodded his head.
“It upsets me to talk about it but I will if you want me to. Robert is my ex, you witnessed his abuse when you stitched my head back together again. If Buddy hadn’t of…”
“I’m sorry.”
“So now you know what a loser I am.”
Shane turned around and leaned over to grab his shirt. When he stood back up Luke was practically in his face.
“I don’t think you’re a loser. I think that you were probably in love and you trusted the wrong person because of it. Important thing is that once he laid his hands on you, you ended it.”
“Yeah.”
“You did end it?”
“I did, a few times. I’m not proud of myself for leaving, I am ashamed of myself for staying as long as I did. This last time was for good though. He tried to get me to give him yet another chance but I said no. Declan was there to take care of me each time. He saw how Robert abused me and tried to talk some sense into me but…”
“Now I understand why he was worried.”
“Listen, I have to get going.”
“Give me a minute, I will pull on some clothes and take you home.”
“Ace only lives about two miles from here, the walk will help me clear my head.”
Luke instantly felt rejected. He shook his head as he walked out.
“Whatever.”
Shane looked up and caught Luke walking out the door.
“Luke, wait.”
Luke didn’t want to wait. He didn’t need to hear Shane patronize him before he walked out never to be seen again. He walked into the bathroom and took a shower. He assumed Shane had left while he was in the shower but when he walked back into the bedroom Shane was sitting at the foot of his bed.
“You’re still here.”
“I couldn’t leave without saying Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Luke dropped his towel and continued to get dressed. Shane got up and walked over to Luke and grabbed him from behind and wrapped his arms around him.
“I’m not leaving until I get a proper goodbye and you’re not upset.”
Luke turned in Shane’s arms and kissed him on the cheek.
“Goodbye.”
Shane shook his head and then pushed Luke against the wall and gave him one hell of a kiss goodbye.
“Can I see you again?”
“Seriously?”
“I had a great time. I really like you.”
Luke blushed and then smil
ed.
“Me too.”
“That’s better. Now give me a kiss and I will call you later, ok?”
Luke kissed Shane.
Lucy went home to her parent’s house, not because she wanted to but because she had nowhere else to go. When she moved into Ace’s she gave her apartment to a friend who moved in the next day. Now she was homeless and broken hearted.
“Can I come in?”
Lucy looked up and her mother was standing in her doorway.
“I suppose.”
“Lucy, your father and I are worried about you. We hate seeing you so upset.”
“Maybe you should have thought about that before you turned on Ace and left him no choice but to break up with me.”
“We left him no choice?”
“He broke up with me because of you and Dad. He said he always longed for a family and never had one and couldn’t bear the thought of me losing mine over him.”
“Lucy, he was the one who lied, to all of us.”
“He never lied to me. I found him, I approached him and if anything I am the one to blame because I fell hard for him. He’s the reason I couldn’t marry Tom. I guess deep down I already knew I loved him. Do I like the fact that he strips, no. It makes me very jealous but I trust him. He doesn’t allow the women to touch him, he is never completely naked and he has never been paid for sex. It started out as a way to make money to survive and escalated from there. He knows he doesn’t have to do it anymore but he likes the attention and if he enjoys it then why not, just like firefighting makes him happy. Do you know that he is one of four owners of the Underground? He is a very wealthy man who loves me but won’t allow himself to be with me because he doesn’t have yours and Dad’s blessing. ”
“I’m not sure I know what to say at this point. I don’t think I can respect a man who doesn’t respect himself. I know your father is sick over it.”
“Dad is sick because Ace was his boy down at the station and now he is embarrassed. Well you know what, the same guys who knew, still know and I’d bet you the guys who never knew, still don’t know. It isn’t like he did something illegal, he wasn’t a paid escort. You know what, I can’t discuss this anymore because right now, I’m struggling to exist. Please leave.”
