Blue Love (32 page)

“You going to miss this big bed?” she asked, “I mean my house isn’t like this.”

“
Tessa are you going to miss this big bed,” Luke asked picking her up and throwing her in it.

She laughed and he jumped on her.
“Nice,” she said.

Tessa kissed him and he kissed her back. There was something different in the way his kiss felt now, it was soft and gentl
e and more playful, she laughed.

“
Something funny Tessa?” Luke asked.

“
I don’t know,” she said and laughed harder.

He sat up and looked at her and smiled,
“Your being silly.”

“
Sorry,” she said “I just feel different, you kiss me differently now,” she said and laughed.

“
How so?” he asked looking embarrassed.

“
It’s sweeter,” Tessa said and smiled looking down.

“
Oh,” he scowled.

“
Not to ruin the moment but it is nice, like you are less guarded, or you’re not in a hurry,” Tessa said trying to make him less uncomfortable.

“
Ok, weird but okay,” Luke said looking confused still.

“
Ok, so it’s not like you’re in a rush or like you want to tear my clothes off and bend me over the bed right now, kind of kissing. It’s like you can enjoy it and well I don’t know,” Tessa’s face turned red and she rolled over and buried her face in the pillow and screamed into it.

“
I have to tell you Tessa I absolutely want to tear your clothes off and bend you over the bed, maybe it’s you. Maybe you’re less guarded, maybe you trust me a little more, you’re more relaxed also,” Luke said, “Maybe you finally believe me when I say I love you,” he said quietly as he wrapped his arms around her.

Her phone rang and it was her father,
“Your Mom will be here in an hour Tessa, you need to be here as well,” John said.

“
I will, we will,” she said and smiled and hung up, “That was Dad,” she said and sat up, “Mom’s coming over.”

“
Oh boy,” Luke said looking down and grabbing his bags.

She forced herself to look at him,
“Ok so you know how Jade and Tommy have their six month rule?”

“
Ya I hear his countdown almost daily,” Luke laughed.

“
I think we should pick a date. That way there is no pressure but we know it’s going to happen on that date?” Tessa said.

“
Ok,” he said and giggled, “How about tomorrow?”

She laughed,
“Ok tomorrow it is,” his jaw dropped, “No seriously let’s pick a date.”

“
How do you just pick a date Tessa?” he asked joking, “How will that be at all romantic or spontaneous? You know the stuff you girls like.”

“
Oh, okay,” she said, “Well we better get going Mom will be at the house soon.”

Tessa started to stand and he knew that he had upset her. He grabbed her and pulled her onto him.
“What’s an acceptable amount of time Tessa Ross?” he asked trying not to smile.

“
I don’t know,” Tessa scowled and looked away.

“
Do you need this date?” Luke asked more seriously.

“
Yes actually I think I do,” she said still annoyed. She wasn’t sure why, maybe it was because she needed to know it wouldn’t happen too soon or maybe she needed to know that it would happen someday.

“
Okay,” he said grabbing her face and turning it back to him, “Your mind is racing, what are you thinking, honestly I want to know.”

“
Well, lots of things like, maybe I need to know because I am concerned you won’t be able to wait that long for me?” Tessa said. “Or that you actually want me,” she said and her face turned a brighter shade of red.

“
How can you think I don’t want you?” Luke asked.

“
I don’t know?” she pouted, “Maybe because I have offered it up, on a silver platter as you said, and you turn me down.”

“
Well you were drunk baby, I don’t want you to hate me?” Luke said.

“
What if I said I want you now?” she asked and looked down.

“
I would kiss you like this,” Luke said as he gently took her face and kissed her cheek and moved down her neck and up to her ear. He softly sucked her earlobe for just a second and moved down her neck across her collar bone and up the other side of her neck to her ear.  “And then I would lay you down on my bed,” Luke whispered and gently put her down on the pillow. Luke straddled her and pulled his shirt over his head and bent down and kissed her, “Your shirt would be next,” he whispered as he took his finger and traced the imaginary line between her breasts down to her belly button and started to slowly untuck it with his fingers.

She did not want him to stop
, her heart was racing, “Lucas,” she finally breathed. “My Mom,” she said as she grabbed his hand.

“
And then I would hear that,” he said sounding frustrated and he laughed deeply, “Yes we need to pick a date this is going to kill me,” he said as he fell onto her and groaned.

She laughed and kissed him. They got up and grabbed his bags and walked out to the truck. She drove.

“Okay any idea?” Tessa asked pulling out of the driveway.

“
I have a question?” Luke said.

“
What’s that?” Tessa asked smiling.

“
I think we have the kissing thing down pat, wouldn’t you say, it was two months Friday Tessa?” Luke said.

“
I know,” she grinned, “I really like kissing you.”

“
Me too baby, there are other things that I want to do to you,” he said in a huskier voice.

“
Like what,” Tessa asked feeling her heart beat faster and she swallowed hard.

“
Your tits baby, they are the most perfect I have ever seen,” Luke said softly.

“
Sorry no go, I already offered and you turned them down, they are kind of mad at you,” she said and laughed.

“
Please tell them I am sorry,” Luke said and grinned.

Tessa lifted her shirt,
“Tell them yourself,” she said grinning.

She had on a blue lace bra that snapped in the front,
“Tessa,” he said in a strained voice.

“
Don’t talk to me talk to them,” she said and laughed. He reached his hand over and she slapped it, “You better apologize to them first, they are not that kind of girls,” she said smirking.

“
I am very sorry, more sorry than you can imagine that I didn’t take you up on your offer at the lake, you are lovely and I want nothing more than to touch you right now, may I,” he asked.

She pulled her shirt down,
“They accept your apology but want you to wait until Friday,” she said laughing.

“
I will take that,” he said sitting back in the seat, breathing deeply.

“
What else?” she asked grinning with excitement.

“
I think we are good for right now Tessa, I would prefer to not walk into your house stiff to talk to your parents,” he said as he was trying to breathe deeply to relax himself.

She smiled and took his hand,
“Both hands on the wheel please,” he said throwing his head back into the seat, she laughed.

Maggie was upstairs when they walked in, “Tessa, Lucas, come up here please,” she yelled down

“
Good luck,” Alex said clearly annoyed.

They walked up the stairs. Maggie was screwing something into the door.
“These are door alarms,” she said, “at night John will turn them on at bedtime and in the morning he will turn them off.”

“
Okay Mrs. Ross,” Luke said, completely understanding what she was doing.

“
So what if we have to pee in the middle of the night?” Tessa asked crossly and Luke gave her a look, hoping she would not argue.

“
Well the alarm will go off, honey, kind of the point,” Maggie said sarcastically. She opened the door and closed it and the alarm went off and then silenced. “See no big deal, right Lucas?” she asked.

“
No big deal Mrs. Ross,” he said and smiled softly.

“
Tessa your Dad filled me in on the details, all of them,” Maggie said and glared at her. “Lucas, I am sorry about everything you have gone through I truly am, please remember she is my daughter, and she means the world to me,” she said with sincerity in her voice.

“
Yes Ma’am I will,” and Luke meant it.

“
Alright then Tessa you will come with me on Wednesday nights understand?” she said.

“
Yes,” Tessa said softly.

“
Alright then I will see you then,” Maggie hugged Tessa and kissed her head struggling with leaving her; she shook her head and walked away.

John was in the kitchen,
“Do you know what you’re doing?” Maggie asked.

“
Do any of us Maggie?” John asked with hurt in his voice.

Maggie shook her head no and tears filled her eyes. John hated to see her upset, he always had. He grabbed her and hugged her and she let him.

A few moments passed and Maggie looked up at him, “See you Wednesday,” she wiped her eyes and walked out the door. John’s heart sank.

Maggie had set up the boys room. She had Molly’s old bed in there and had already made it, and she had put up a clothes rack and a bin for him to use to put his clothes away. Tessa was pulling his clothes out and putting them on hangers. She smiled when she grabbed a pair of black boxer briefs. She threw them across the hall to her room, and grinned at him.

“
What are you doing?” Luke asked smiling.

“
New pajamas,” she said smiling and mumbled under her breath, “I am going to be in your pants tonight.”

“
What did you say,” he asked laughing.

“
Do I really need to repeat myself,” Tessa smiled and looked down at his groin and raised her eyebrow.

“
Please don’t,” Luke said in a soft deep voice.

Tessa laughed and continued going through his stuff. She found his white hat and put it on his head,
“The first time I saw you this was on your head, you look so hot in white hats,” she said.

“
I thought I was an arrogant ass,” Luke said smiling.

“
You were, sometimes still are, but you’ve always been a lot of fun to look at,” Tessa said grinning. She grabbed his cologne and took it in her room and sprayed her bed. Luke followed her and laughed.

Luke jumped on her bed and said,
“This is where you sleep every night hu?” she smiled and shook her head and jumped on him; she kissed him and sat up.

His eyes narrowed and he clenched his jaw,
“I promised your father no hands,” he said quietly.

“
Okay,” she smiled and her bottom circled his lap and she bit her bottom lip.

He started to grab her and she said,
“No hands Mr. Links,” she said smiling and moved again.

He put his hands in the air and stood up she had to grab on, her eyes where huge and smile just as big when she felt him beneath her,
“Down girl…please.”

Tessa slid down his body seductively all the way to her knees. He stepped over her and groaned.
“You’re killing me Tessa.”

She followed him across the hall and grabbed his waist.
“You said down girl, I was going down.”

He took her hands and kissed them,
“It is going to be a long three months if I am fighting this every day,” he said and kissed her head.

She saw the pain in his eyes,
“Does it hurt?”

“
Kind of,” he said grinning.

“
Well how, what’s it feel like?” Tessa asked.

“
Like pressure and no explosion,” Luke said shaking his head.

She asks the damndest questions, he thought.

“
Well what does the explosion feel like,” Tessa asked grinning.

“
Well for me it’s kind of like when you have to pee really bad and you have to hold it for a long time. That’s the pressure. And then when you finally go the bathroom, that feeling times twenty, not sure what it feels like for a girl though. But the way you talk so openly about everything regardless of how uncomfortable it may be,” he said smiling, “I am sure you’ll tell me and I hope it’s while it’s happening.”

“
Deal I will let you know, okay so next Friday you get these,” she said pointing to her chest. “And the next Friday I get that,” Tessa said grinning from ear to ear.
