Eddy pulled back, and Luke wondered for a second if he was changing his mind-- a silly panic, but it had happened before-- but no.  The man was smiling, looking down at him in a way Luke hadn't seen in a long time, like he was something pretty, something valuable.<br/><br/><i>It's been a while for me too</i>.  Good, not just him, then... That calmed some of Luke's nerves, made him relax to know there wasn't any pressure.  They could just enjoy themselves, relearn and catch up...<br/><br/>He gazed back mildly, letting Eddy do as he pleased.  The man's hand left his hip and found its way to the back of his neck, massive fingers sliding through the dark, mussy tresses.  The sensation was so soothing, Luke nearly melted in Eddy's arms, a wide smile on his speckled face and his grey eyes bright.<br/><br/>The words made him grin, the playful tone sending a spark down his spine to his groin.<i>God</i>he hoped so...  Eddy clearly knew what he was doing.<br/><br/>This kiss was different, more intentional, with a heat rising between them.  Luke returned it with delight, hands spreading out across Eddy's chest just to feel the broad expanse of his form, each stroke appreciative and admiring.<br/><br/>When the man's fingers caught in his hair, Luke's breath hitched, and he kissed back harder while his hands roamed to wrap around Eddy's waist, as much as they could.  He just felt so right, so perfect...  It made him shiver, just a faint tremble that rolled through his small frame.  It<i>had</i>been a while...<br/><br/>Feeling bolder, Luke parted his lips just enough during the kiss, hoping Eddy understood the invitation and that he would take it.
