Lex and Lu(97)

“Lex,” she gasped, “you feel so good.”

Driven on by her praise, he moved her legs farther apart and, with his fingers and tongue, pulled out a most magnificent orgasm whose breathy moans and groans he swallowed with his Lu-filled mouth. Standing, he left her. Lu’s eyes popped open as she followed his movements to the bathroom, watching his amazing athlete’s body, tatted up with artful works, lithely walk away, then turn back toward her. She tracked him and the heat of her gaze made him harder and more needy than he ever remembered being.

“Hey, beautiful,” he murmured as he put on a condom and fitted his body to hers.

“Hey there, yourself,” she said, smiling.

“I’m not quite done with you,” he said, before he leaned down and kissed her. She laced her fingers in his hair and kept his head in place as she deepened his kiss. Then she let her hands appreciate his body, moving over his back and amazing ass before moving her legs around him, surrounding him with her heat. He entered her quickly and deeply, pulling yet another moan from her mouth. He broke the kiss and moved away from her so that he could watch her. This time, as he moved in and out of her, their eyes were locked. When the second orgasm claimed her, she didn’t turn away. Instead she looked up at him and let go of every inhibition and doubt, riding the wave of pleasure while falling more deeply in love. He gazed at her, feeling her body milk his, seeing her let go, before he followed her.

Not wanting to leave her warmth, Lex stayed where he was, his weight still on her, while he came back to earth. Kissing her neck, he pulled out of her and rolled over, bringing her with him so that she was on top. He stroked her back, his hand gliding down and up her body, leaving a trail of heat wherever he touched. Kissing the top of her head, he said, “You are amazing, Lulu.”

He felt her smile before she said, “You know I hate that.”

“You do?”

She pinched his chest.

“Ouch. So vindictive,” he laughed while grabbing and rubbing her ass, both punishing and worshipping her. “You know how competitive I am.”

Moving her hand, she found his nipple and pulled it, then rubbed it between her thumb and index finger.

Groaning, he reciprocated. In his fastest recovery time ever, he was buried deep inside of her again, wringing responses from both of them he would have thought they were too tired to produce. They fell asleep, wrapped around each other, savoring their closeness and time.



Lex woke with a start and looked at the clock. Panicked, he shook Lu awake.

“Babe,” he whispered near her ear, “wake up. We have to put presents out.”

Bolting upright, Lu glanced at the clock. “Shit,” she muttered before grabbing Lex’s T-shirt and pulling it over her head.

They hurried to put Nina’s presents under the tree, attempting to preserve the few remaining Christmases that equaled Santa. When they’d finished, giggling the whole time, they returned to Lex’s room. He watched as Lu gathered her clothes and headed for his door.

He lightly grabbed her arm. “Where are you going?” he asked, even though he knew the answer. But he wanted her to tell him what she was doing.

“To my room.” She walked toward him and planted a kiss on his cheek. “This,” she said, moving her hand between them, “this is too complicated for Nina.”

“We’re her parents. How is that complicated?” he asked, trying to hold on to his irrational fear that this was it for them.

Lu looked at him, sadness in her blue depths. “Lex. We can’t. She won’t understand.”

He returned her stare. “So, that’s it?”

She sighed. “What is it you want, Lex?”

He hesitated. He wanted to tell her that he wanted her, them, a family. But she saw his hesitation and he could see her read it wrong. “I want you.”

“But don’t you see how bad that would be? What will happen to Nina when you don’t want me anymore?”

Frustrated, he ran his hand through his hair. “What makes you think I won’t want you?”

She rolled her eyes. “Come on, Lex, we need to be honest with each other. We can’t pretend to be a family with Nina. She’s already had to deal with too much this year.” Lu paused, clutching her clothes more tightly in her hands, searching for a way to say what she needed to say. “She has to come first, Lex. I need to do what is right for her, even if it’s at odds with what I want. I won’t be my mother.”

That last sentence summed it up for him. But he wasn’t done fighting.

“I love you, Lu.” He saw her eyes widen with a momentary spark of joy before she shut it down.
