Lily

I gasped when Luke took off his boxers. He was incredibly big and very well endowed. I silently thanked God, but I really didn’t expect anything less considering his perfect body. As he erotically sucked my nipples, I reached my hand down and took a hold of his hard cock. Running my hand down the entire length of him gave me chills. As I stroked him up and down, a moan escaped the back of his throat.

“God, Lily, you’re amazing,” he moaned as he continued to explore each breast.

My skin was on fire, and I needed him more than I needed air. He brought his mouth up to mine, kissed me passionately, and then whispered in my ear.

“I want to make you come with my mouth before I make passionate love to you.”

I gasped as his tongue traveled down to my body. His breath was hot as he began licking the inner edges of my thigh before moving to my swollen lips. I was already on the verge of an orgasm. He reached his hands up and cupped my breasts before pinching each nipple. He aroused me more than I’ve ever been aroused before. His mouth moved swiftly over my swollen, wet area that so desperately throbbed for him, and he moved his tongue in small circles around my clit. I placed my hands on each side of his head, and I breathlessly called out his name as my body released itself to him. He softly kissed the sensitive area as he smiled; then his lips made their way back to my mine.

“You’re so beautiful, Lily,” he said as he took his cock and placed it between my legs.

“You’re amazing, and I want you inside me,” I whispered.

He slowly pushed himself into me, inch by inch. He was so hard, and he felt incredible.

“God, Lily, you’re so tight. Are you ok?” he asked.

“Yes, Luke, please don’t stop!” I exclaimed as I dug my nails into his back.

He smiled and pushed himself into me until he was fully inside. I wrapped my legs around him as he cupped my ass with both hands and gently squeezed. He slowly moved in and out of me as we stared into each other’s eyes. This was the most beautiful moment I’ve ever experienced. He accelerated his movement and brought my body to the heightened state of another orgasm.

“Lily, come with me,” he said as he pushed himself into me one last time before releasing himself inside me.

I watched the look on his face as he came, and it was the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. He collapsed on me and held me tight; our bodies melting together, and our hearts racing at the speed of light. I’d just had the best sex of my life. He lifted himself up on his elbows and pushed my hair back with one hand.

“Are you alright?” He chuckled.

“I’m fantastic. How about you?”

“I’m great. No, better than great.”

I giggled as I ran my hands through his hair. He looked over at the clock; it was 3:00 a.m.

“You need to get up in a couple of hours,” he said.

“I know. Don’t worry about it, I’ll be fine. Will you stay here with me?” I asked as he climbed off of me and got out of bed.

“Of course I’ll stay here. There’s no place else that I’d rather be. I want to wake up with you in my arms,” he replied.

We climbed under the covers, and Luke wrapped his strong arms around me, pulling me in as close as he could.

“You feel good naked,” he said as he softly kissed my back.

“So do you.” I quivered.

“Good night, Lily.”

“Good night, Luke.”

* * *

I opened my eyes as the buzzing sound of the alarm began, increasing in sound with each buzz. I reached over and turned it off while still wrapped up in Luke arms. I tried to get up as slowly as possible because I didn’t want to wake him up. As soon as I moved, his arms tightened their grip around me.

“Don’t leave this bed. Call in, and tell them you’re sick. I’m not letting you go.”

I laughed as I turned and looked at him. “I have to go. I have a class to teach, and remember, your niece is part of that class.”

He sighed as he kissed me. “Fine, but I’m joining you in the shower.”

“I was hoping you would.” I winked.

He grabbed me, turned me on my back, and started tickling me. I laughed and screamed at the same time. Suddenly, there was knock on the wall. Luke stopped, looked at me, and we both started laughing. Luke didn’t knock back, he banged on the wall.

“Dude, it’s called payback!”

Luke got up and took my hand as we stepped into shower; then we had sex before starting our morning.

I looked at the clock on my phone as I threw my hair up. Luke walked up behind me as I stood there in my bra and underwear. “I made you some coffee,” he said as his hands traveled up my sides, and his lips met with my neck.

“Thank you, and you need to stop, or I’m going to be late,” I said as I turned around, kissed him on the lips, and then made my way to the bedroom to get dressed.

Luke stood in the doorway of my bedroom, leaning up against it with one arm while holding his coffee cup in his hand. “I want to see you tonight.”

“I want to see you too,” I said as I put on my heels and stopped in front of him.

“Kiss me and I’ll let you through.” He smiled.

I smiled as my lips met his. I wanted to leave him with more than just a kiss, so I stuck my hand down the front of his jeans and grabbed his semi-hard cock. He moaned. “Lily, how could you?”

“How can’t I? You’re too damn irresistible,” I said as I lifted his arm and walked through.

I heard him chuckle as he followed behind me. I grabbed my bags, my keys, and my coffee cup from the counter. Luke opened the door, and we both walked out.

“Have a good day,” he said as he kissed me.

“Uncle Luke!” Charley exclaimed.

He broke our kiss and looked at her as she ran down the rest of the stairs to him. “Hey, peanut.”

“I saw you two kissing.” She smiled. “Did you spend the night?” she asked.

Luke looked panicked as we both looked at each other. “No, of course not; Lily had something that she needed fixed,” he said.

Maddie stood behind Charley and smiled at me. “Let me drive Charley to school for you,” I said to Maddie.

“That’s ok, Lily, you don’t have to do that.”

“I want to. I’m going there anyway, and I’m already running late,” I said as I looked at Luke.

“Mommy, please!” Charley squealed.

“Ok,” she said as she gave Charley a kiss goodbye. “Thank you, Lily.”

“No problem.” I smiled as I took Charley’s hand.

“Bye, Mommy, bye, Uncle Luke,” she said as she walked out the door.

Luke

“Would you like to join me for some coffee? I know you’re dying to talk to me.”

“Yes, I do want coffee, and yes, I’m dying to talk to you.” Maddie smiled as she followed me into my apartment.

I walked into the kitchen, poured the last of the coffee in a cup, and just as I handed the cup to Maddie, Sam walked out of his bedroom, straightening his tie. He walked over and fist-bumped me.

“Thanks for keeping me awake all night,” he said as he picked up the empty coffee pot and looked at it.

“No problem, man.”

“As much as I’m happy that you finally gave in and had sex with the hot girl next door, I have to go to a meeting. We’ll talk about it later, dude. Love you, Maddie,” Sam said as he walked out the door.

“Love you back, Sammy.” She smiled, and then turned to me. “The only thing I want to know is if you’re ok.”

“I’m fine, Maddie,” I said as I started another pot of coffee.

“You’ve been depressed for over a year, Luke. You haven’t made any attempt to meet or date anyone, and now all of a sudden, you’re spending the night with the girl next door.”

“That’s because the right girl never crossed my path. I didn’t think I’d ever fall for anyone after Callie. She was my life, my whole world, and you know that, but since Lily moved in, I started seeing things differently. She makes me smile, Maddie. No one has been able to do that in a very long time.”

“I know, and I’m happy for you. I just don’t want you or her to get hurt. You both have endured enough pain. Mom and Dad are going to love her. You know they’ll want a family dinner as soon as they get back from their cruise, right?”

“I know, and I want Lily to meet them.” I kissed Maddie on the top of her head and walked to the bedroom to change. I had work that needed to be done.

* * *

I couldn’t stop thinking about Lily and our night together. I didn’t plan on making love to her quite yet, but she wanted me to, and who was I to deny her. I needed to tell her about Callie and the accident. I was actually surprised she didn’t ask about my scar last night. My phone beeped with a reminder about the job I needed to do. I snapped out of my thoughts and back into reality; then I grabbed my tool box and headed upstairs to Mrs. Lopez’s apartment to fix her garbage disposal.

“You have that look, Luke,” Mrs. Lopez said.

“What look would that be, Mrs. Lopez?” I asked as I tightened the pipe under her kitchen sink.

“The look of love.”

I chuckled. “Is that so? How can you tell?”

“I can see it in your eyes. They have a new life about them. Who is she?”

I crawled out from under the sink and threw my wrench in the tool box. “I’m not in love, but I have met someone that I really like.” I smiled.

“Ah ha! I knew it!” she exclaimed. I sure hope it’s that cute little blonde that just moved in next door to you.”

“As a matter of fact, it is, and her name’s Lily,” I said as I took the bottle of water she held out me.

“I’m happy for you, Luke. I know you’ve had a rough year, and you deserve true happiness.”

I closed my tool box and picked it up from the floor. “Thanks for the water, Mrs. Lopez. Everything’s working perfectly now. Just call me if you need me,” I said as I walked out the door.

I walked back into my apartment, set my tool box down, then sat on the couch, looking at my phone. I missed Lily already. She’s always on my mind, and it’s driving me crazy, so I decided to send her a text message.

“How about dinner tonight at your place? We can cook together.”

“That sounds great! I don’t cook though.”

“I’ll teach you. We can go to the store together when you get home.”

“Alright, I can’t wait.”

“Me neither.”

* * *

As I was watching TV, and thinking about how slow the day was going, there was a knock on the door. As soon as I opened it, Lily threw her arms around me and kissed me. I pulled her into the apartment, kicked the door closed with the heel of my shoe, and pinned her up against the closet door as I kissed her passionately. After a moment, she broke our kiss and smiled at me.

“I missed you,” she said out of breath.

“I missed you too, and I couldn’t wait for you to get home,” I responded as my lips made their way behind her ear.

The door opened, and Sam walked in. “Really? You do know there’s a bedroom down that hall over there, right?” he said.

Lily and I laughed as I shook my head at Sam.

“Seriously, dude. I don’t want to come home and find the two of you having sex on the couch, because I may have to join in.”

I smacked him on the back of the head as I walked by. “That’s not even funny, bro,” I said as I pointed at him.

“Lily thinks it’s funny. Look at her; she’s laughing.”

“Babe, don’t humor him, please.”

Sam was laughing as he walked to his room.

“Are you ready to leave?” I asked as I walked over to her and ran the back of my hand softly across her cheek. She nodded her head, so we headed out the apartment and walked to the Jeep.

“What are we making?” Lily asked as I pushed the cart through the grocery store.

“I thought maybe we can cook some spaghetti with a homemade sauce, salad, and bread.”

“You make homemade sauce?”

“I sure do, and Charley loves it. My mom never cooked alone; she always made us cook as a family from the time we were six years old.”

Lily hooked her arm around mine and laid her head on my shoulder. “Your mom sounds amazing. My mom never cooked; she had her chef do all the cooking, and we rarely ate as a family.”

My heart ached for her when she told me that. I leaned over and kissed her head. “Come on, let’s get what we need and get out of here.”

We were walking through the store when I saw Bernie. “Hey, Luke,” he said as he looked at Lily.

“Hey, Bernie, how was Florida?” I asked him.

“Florida was great, and I’m getting closer to retirement. Who’s this beautiful woman on your arm, Luke?”

“This is Lily Gilmore. Lily, meet Bernie, the owner of Bernie’s Bar.”

Lily shook Bernie’s hand, and he smiled at her. “I’m going to take a stab in the dark here, but you wouldn’t happen to be Johnny Gilmore’s daughter, would you?”

Lily looked at him and smiled. “Yes, Johnny was my father.”

“I knew it!” Bernie exclaimed. “Look at you, all grown up. Your dad used to play in my bar when he was in Santa Monica, and he used to show me pictures of you. He was a brilliant musician; I’m sorry to hear about his death.”

“Thank you,” Lily said. “He was a great musician.”

“Hey, Luke, we need to sit down and discuss what you want to do with the bar. This last trip to Florida pushed me closer to selling, and the next time I go, I’m not coming back.”

“I know, and I have to give it some more thought. I’ll call you.”

“Don’t take too long, son, I have others who are interested. It was nice to meet you, Lily. Luke, I’ll talk to you soon,” he said as he walked away.

Lily looked at me as I sighed. “What was all that about?” she asked.

“We’ll talk about it over dinner,” I replied as we stepped into the checkout lane.

Luke opened the bottle of wine as I took two glasses from the cupboard. He started making the sauce, and I started on something a little more simple—the salad.

“How was your day at work?” he asked.

“It was good, and my students were very well-behaved today.”

“Did Charley say anything to you about us?” he asked as he began to chop the onions.

“No, though she did smile at me a lot.” I laughed.

“She’s a great little girl, and I hope to have a daughter like her someday.”

I stopped my knife halfway through the tomato when Luke said that. A sick feeling in my stomach instantly developed because the talk of family terrified me, but I proceeded to talk about it anyway.

“How many kids would you like to have?” I asked like an idiot.

“I don’t know; four kids would be nice, I guess.”

“Four!” I gasped.

Luke chuckled as he put the onions in the sauce. “What’s wrong with four kids?”

“Nothing’s wrong with four kids. I’m just surprised you want so many.”

“Cal—forget it. I’m sorry I brought it up,” he said.

I could see the sadness in his face as he turned to the stove and stirred the sauce. I put down the knife, and I wrapped my arms around his waist. “Don’t ever be sorry. You need to talk about her, Luke, and I don’t ever want you to feel as though you can’t or shouldn’t.”

He put down the spoon and turned to face me. “It just doesn’t feel right to talk about her like that, and I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You wouldn’t hurt me. She was a huge part of your life for many years, and I want to know about her.”

Luke softly brushed his lips against mine. “You’re amazing, do you know that?”

“I’ve been told a few times.” I smiled.

He hugged me and went back to making the sauce as I finished slicing the tomatoes for the salad.

“On the night of the accident, we’d been on our way home from a trip,” he began to speak. “We were stopped at a red light a few streets away from here. When the light turned green, and I began to go through the intersection, another car ran the red light and crashed into us, hitting Callie’s side. Our car spun out of control; then another car hit my side.” Luke paused for a moment. “I’ll never forget the sound of both crashes, the sounds of the squealing tires, the brightness of the headlights as both cars headed towards us, and Callie screaming my name before I blacked out. I’d woken up in the hospital three days later without any recollection of the accident at that moment. My parents had told me that Callie had died, and that’s when everything came rushing back to me.”

I gulped as I heard him tell the story, and my eyes couldn’t help but fill with tears. He wouldn’t look at me, and I knew if I tried to comfort him in any way, he would lose it, so I quickly changed the subject.

“Have I told you how much of an asshole Hunter is?”

Luke looked over at me and started to laugh. “What?”

“He’s an asshole, plain and simple. He’s an uptight, cock sucking, piece of shit, and I truly despise him. Did I ever tell you that he color coordinated his underwear with his clothes?”

“Seriously?” Luke asked.

“I’m dead serious, and not only did he do that, but he also kept a divider in his drawer for his socks. What guy does that? Oh, and the best part, he has pants that he’ll only wear on certain days of the week.”

Luke was laughing and shaking his head. “What the hell did you ever see in that guy?”

I had to stop and think about that for a moment because I honestly didn’t know. “He wasn’t hot, that’s for sure. He was cute in a boyish way. I think it was because he’s a charmer, and he charmed his way into my life, like the lying piece of shit he is.”

Luke walked over to me, put his hands on my hips, and kissed me on the forehead. “Watch your mouth.” He smiled.

“Sorry,” I said as I looked up at him.

I grabbed two plates from the cupboard, some silverware out of the drawer, and set the table for dinner. I heard the beep of my phone indicating there was a text message.

“Your phone went off, babe,” he said.

I walked over to the counter and picked it up. The message was from Giselle.

“I’m off to Seattle for a modeling job, and Lucky’s coming with me. I just thought you and Luke would want to know.”

I knitted my eyebrows and quickly replied.

“What the hell’s going on with the two of you? Are you a couple or something?”

“We’re two adults who are having fun—without a commitment.”

“Alright, if you say so,” I replied.

Luke set the spaghetti on the table. “What’s wrong? You look confused.”

“I am confused. I’m confused about this whole Lucky and Giselle thing. She’s going to Seattle on a modeling job, and he’s going with her. Don’t you think that’s weird?”

“Lily, Lucky’s weird; you should know that by now.” He laughed.

I sat down at the table as Luke put some spaghetti on my plate. “Eat up.”

I took a bite as he watched me. “Luke, this is the best spaghetti I’ve ever had,” I said.

“You’re not just saying that spare my feelings, are you?”

“Of course not! The sauce is truly amazing.”

I left a long piece of spaghetti hanging from my mouth as I motioned with my finger for him to come closer. He smiled and leaned across the table, taking the other end of the spaghetti in his mouth and followed it until his lips reached mine. He licked my lips with his tongue and then inserted it in my mouth. I smiled as he kissed me. We got up from our seats as we continued to share a kiss. He slowly put his hands up my shirt, pulling the cups to my bra down and feeling my hardened nipples. I reached my hand down to his hard cock and stroked it through the fabric of his jeans. Getting lost in the hotness of the moment, our kiss became more passionate with a little bit of roughness until we were interrupted by a knock on the door.

“Uncle Luke, are you in there making your famous spaghetti?”

We both broke our kiss and looked at each other. Luke’s eyes were wide. “What the hell?” he whispered. “Um, yes, Charley, I am!” he yelled across the room.

I started laughing as Luke had to sit back in his chair to hide his erection until it had gone down; then I walked over to the door and opened it.

“Hey, sweetie!” I smiled. “Would you like to come in and have some of your Uncle Luke’s famous spaghetti?”

“I sure would!” she exclaimed.

Charley walked in and sat down next to Luke at the table. “Hi, Uncle Luke,” she said as she kissed him on the cheek.

“Hi, peanut. How did you know I was making spaghetti?”

“Mommy and I just came back from the store, and I could smell it in the hallway, but the smell was stronger coming from Lily’s door.”

Luke and I both laughed as I set a plate in front of Charley. I put some spaghetti on it with some bread, and she sat there and ate it. Luke looked at me and smirked.

“So, are you two dating or what?” Charley blurted out with a mouthful of spaghetti.

Luke and I shared a glance at each other. “Yeah, you could say that we’re dating.” He winked at me.

“I knew it!” Charley giggled. “I can’t wait to tell my friends that my teacher and my uncle are dating.”

Luke pulled his ringing phone from his pocket; it was Maddie calling to ask him to send Charley home. “Your mom wants you home as soon as you’re finished eating, peanut.”

“Why?” she whined.

“I think it’s because you have homework to do.” I smiled at her.

“Oh yeah, I forgot.” She giggled.

Luke looked over at her and whispered, “Your teacher is mean.”

“I am not!” I exclaimed as I pick up some plain noodles and threw them at him across the table.

“Oh, you want a food fight, do you?” He laughed as he reached in the spaghetti bowl, grabbed a handful, and threw them at me.

“Charley, get under the table!” I said.

She started laughing and ducked under the table. I reached my hand in the salad bowl and threw what I’d grabbed at Luke. He looked at me and sighed as he brushed the lettuce out of his hair. I started laughing uncontrollably until he put some butter on a knife, flung it at me, and it stuck to my forehead. He couldn’t help but laugh as he took out his phone and started taking pictures. I took my finger and wiped the butter off as I seductively brought my finger to my mouth and started sucking it. Luke put his phone down and looked at me.

“Come on, Charley, it’s time to go home and do your homework.”

“Ok,” she said with an exaggerated sigh.

Luke looked at me and whispered, “Stay right where you are.”

He took Charley by the hand and walked her back up to her apartment. I already knew what was going to happen the minute he returned.
