Page 7 of Luke

Eve blushed at the thought of showing off her curves and fullness. She was proud of her body and knew that Luke liked what she had also. Maybe this was the push she needed to finally make a move on Luke. Maybe, at the gym, they could find a common ground and get to know each other better.

***

The following day Eve went to the gym with Sarah. It was nothing like she expected it to be. There was no blaring music or mirrors lining the walls. This was an airy room, filled with weights and benches and everyone was minding their own business.

“See,” Sarah said as she pulled Eve further inside. “I told you that you would fit in.” Eve had fretted over wearing an old loose t-shirt and had borrowed some black gym tights from Sarah, unsure if they were supposed to feel that tight on her. Sarah suggested starting with an easy exercise routine, and Eve followed Sarah’s movements with some simple weights. She started with light exercises and gradually increased her efforts. Luke, true to Sarah's words, was there. He was with his brother Jackson, and they were deep in conversation. She watched as he moved to a weight bench, and lay down, Jackson standing behind him to spot him.

Eve’s mouth watered as Luke lifted the weight bar, his forearms and biceps rippling under the strain. Eve went to wipe her mouth, sure she was drooling, and instead choked on her own saliva. She tried to cough delicately, but was soon red in the face and coughing loudly, drawing attention to herself and her now beet red face. She tried to hide behind a laughing Sarah, who was doing nothing to help her. Eve soon felt the warmth of Luke, his heat radiating behind her. Her arms were lifted in the air and she was pulled back into his solid chest, so her back was resting against him.

“Just take a breath,” Luke rumbled in her ear, as she struggled to lower her arms. He resisted her attempts. “This opens the lungs so you’ll stop coughing,” he said as he slowly lowered her arms, his large hands grazing her breasts as he steadied her, keeping her close to his chest.

Eve’s breathing slowed and embarrassment flooded her at the thought of everyone at the gym watching them. She turned her head to see, but found no one was staring at her, which was good as she was now on fire from Luke’s touch. She was pretty sure he was also developing some dark feelings towards her, if the hard length of steel jutting into her back was anything to go by.

Holy big penis. That’s a lot of man.

Eve groaned. She finally got Luke to notice and touch her and she chokes. On thin air.

I’m an idiot.

Eve went to move away, but Luke held her in place. “Just let me get my body under control,” he whispered in her ear. “It had a reaction to you and I don’t particularly like the thought of everyone else seeing it.”

“Really? This isn't a habit for you.” Eve said, trying to make light of the situation. “Maybe if we walk around the corner, out of sight. It might be better.”

Luke hissed in her ear as she went to move. “Slowly,” he said as his hand pushed her hip into his thighs and they walked slowly around a corner away from the others.

“Come to the wedding with me,” Eve blurted out before the spell was broken.

“I wasn’t going to let you go with anyone else,” Luke said as he shifted against her, his erection pressing into her.

Eve sucked in a deep breath.

This is it. Just turn around and kiss him.

The cool air drifted over Eve’s back. She went to turn to kiss him but all she saw was his back as he walked away from her.

I will get him naked, she thought smiling.At least I know he wants me too.

Eve

Aweeklater,Kaneand Sarah’s wedding day arrived. Eve was so excited to see her friend get married, and she felt so lucky that the brothers had included her in their family. Eve had also become close to Elsie and John, the caretakers, of the ranch. They kept the boys’ fridges full and on track and spent time with each brother and gave advice when they needed it.

Eve was nervous about seeing Luke. She had felt something sizzle between them, evident by his reaction to her at the gym. She had been trying so hard for him to notice her, now she was finally going to get to touch him again.

And I plan on touching him a lot.

Eve didn’t know why Luke was a little standoffish with her. She didn’t think it was because of her looks or size, knowing she was larger than most women. In fact, she was pretty sure Luke liked that about her, and that she was so confident with it. Eve loved her body and would never be with anyone again that belittled her for being larger. Her ex had done that for many years, until finally she left. Going to the shelter and finding Sarah was the best move she had ever made. Eve had blossomed under Sarah’s friendship.

She ran her hands over her emerald dress, noticing the dress swayed with her hips as she walked, exposing her knees and thighs as the dress flared around her. She loved the feel of the silky fabric on her body and with a close fit sleeveless bodice and flirty skirt, she knew she looked good. Eve had left her hair loose, pulling a lock over her shoulder to contrast her dark hair with the dress.

“What do you think Fred?” she asked her cat skulking in the corner. “Am I getting lucky tonight?”

Fred growled seconds before a knock sounded at the door.

“Be nice,” she chastised Fred as she opened the door to Luke who took her breath away.

The tuxedo fit him firmly across his broad shoulders and large biceps, but hugged his narrow waist, before the slim fit of his dress pants showed off his impressive muscles bulging under his pants. Eve peeked a quick glance at his groin and was disappointed that the jacket covered up what she really wanted to see.

She looked up into Luke’s deep whiskey-coloured eyes before twirling before him.
