Chapter 18 Lucky gulped. Make Love? Lucky: "What? I mean… are you sure Liz? So soon?" Liz: "Lucky, I LOVE you. I trust you with my life, my trust and my love. I can handle this. I can handle being in the arms of the man I love. I want to love you. Please let me." Lucky: "Only if you’re sure…" Liz put her finger on Lucky's lips and walked away to turn the lights off. Lucky laid down on the bed and watched Liz walk towards him. He couldn't believe it. She wanted HIM. It sent shivers down his spine every time he thought about it. She loved him. She trusted him with everything, her love, her heart… and now her body. He swallowed the lump that was forming in his throat and smiled. Lucky: "You sure you want to do this?" Liz smiled and moved her face closer to his until they were inches apart. Liz: (whispering) "Oh yeah" She moved closer and kissed his lips, tenderly and soft at first, but then more firm. She breaks away and moves to the CD player and starts a song. Liz: "Dance with me, Lucky." Lucky gets up and walks towards Liz. Their eyes meet and Lucky takes her hand and pulls her body close to his as the music starts. *~~~~~~*Dancin' in the dawn, middle of the night Takin' your heart and holdin' it tight Emotional touch, touchin' my skin And asking you to do what you've been doin' all over again *~~~~~* (Liz stands up on her toes and Lucky leans in for a kiss. He moves his hands to her face then down her body again, feeling every curve. Liz pulls at his shirt and he responds by taking it off.) *~~~~~*Oh its a beautiful thing, don't think I can keep it all in I just gotta let you know what it is that won't let me go It's your love It just does something to me It sends a shock right through me I can't get enough and if you wonder about the spell I'm under, Oh it's your love *~~~~~~* (Liz runs her hands over Lucky's chest and buries her face in his neck. He kisses her shoulder and moves his hands over her breasts. She giggles and removes her shirt. She turns around and places his hands on her bra clasp. Lucky removes it and they watch it fall to the ground.) *~~~~~~*Better than I was, more than I am And all of this happened by taking your hand And who I am now is who I wanted to be And now that we're together, I'm stronger than ever I'm happy and free Oh it's a beautiful thing, don't think I can keep it all in If you asked me why I've changed, all I gotta do is say your sweet name *~~~~~~~~* (Lucky picks Liz up and they move to the bed. Lucky stares at her and removes his pants. Liz smiles and playfully tugs at his boxers. He grins and they drop around his ankles. He climbs in bed with Liz who is on her knees. She straddles his chest and starts kissing his neck. Lucky groans slightly and runs his hands up her skirt.) *~~~~~~~~*It's your love It just does something to me It sends a shock right through me I can't get enough and if you wonder about the spell I'm under, it’s your love If you wonder about the spell I'm under, Oh, It's your love Baby, Oh oh, oh, *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* (Liz strokes Lucky's hair as she grips onto his back. She moans and then laughs with pleasure. He continues. He pulls out and she lies down. He lays his head on her chest.) *~~~~~~~~~*Oh its a beautiful thing, don't think I can keep it all in I just gotta let you know what it is that won't let me go It's your love it just does something to me it sends a shock right through me I can't get enough and if you wonder about the spell I'm under, Oh it’s your love It's your love, it's your love, it's your love *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* (They continue to lie there for awhile until Lucky seems to have fallen asleep. Liz strokes the hair out of his face and starts talking. Liz: (whispering) "There's no me without you, Lucky. Always remember that." She kissed the top of his head then closed her eyes. ----------------------- Luke stared at Laura. He couldn't believe it. Luke: "Son of a bitch… You don't know who the father is?" Laura nodded and broke down crying. Luke: "Oh stop it, Laura! You had sex with both of us! You fucked us both and now you don't know who the father is! I never thought of you as a whore Laura, but you sure as hell are one!" Luke felt a sting as Laura's hand slapped his face. Laura: "Don't you EVER call me that again. He forced himself on me, Luke. I never said yes! NEVER! And you KNOW that! Dammit Luke, You know I would never do that to you! Luke: "But you DID baby! You had sex with that bastard! That vampire asshole! And Lucky could be a product of that!" Laura: "I never loved him Luke! I love you! You are my life! There is no me without you!" Luke glared at Laura. He hated to see her cry, but he was just too angry right now. Luke: "I'll be at the club." He walked out of the house and slammed the door behind him, hoping to shut out the sound of her sobs. *~~~~~~~~~~~Laura is the face in the misty lights Footsteps that you hear down the hall The (love) that floats on a summer night That you can never quite recall And you see Laura on a train that is passing through Those eyes how familiar they seem She gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura but she's only a dream *~~~~~~~~~~ (Luke walks down the street stopping to light his cigar. He sighs and looks back towards the house. Tears roll down his cheeks when he thinks of her crying herself to sleep tonight. Alone.) *~~~~~~~~*She gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura But she's only a dream *~~~~~~~~~~* ------------------------- First song by Tim McGraw.
