Note:Thanks for all the great comments! We are glad you have enjoyed this so far and now we bring you Chapter 2. Chapter 3 is already in the works so the wait shouldn't be too long. Remember comments are love. Let us know what you think :)
Oh and here is a link to chapter 1
“What’s going on in here?”
Randy’s voice broke the spell, and Noah jumped away so fast one would think he had been burnt. Both boys turned to see Maddie and Randy standing in the doorway. Luke’s heart was beating fast, had they seen anything? Did they hear the heated words that proceeded the intimate moment?
“I don’t agree with Luke on the direction he wants to take Invisible girl,” Noah explained, giving Luke a chance to recover. “It’s no big deal, Luke,” he continued his gaze meeting Luke’s head on. “You know how I feel about it, but I’m sure you will do what you want.”
“Whatever,” Luke said shrugging it off. He ran a hand through his hair and left the room before anymore questions could be asked.
“Well if Luke is the writer,” he heard Randy say as he slammed the door hoping that neither he nor Maddie noticed how agitated he really was. He had caught the hidden meaning in Noah’s words, and it only upset him more. Until he realized that he could use this to his advantage. Noah was most definitely jealous of Randy.
In the days that followed he found himself flirting with Randy whenever the occasion presented itself. He had to admit, he liked the attention he was getting. It was nice to feel wanted and needed by someone who wasn’t ashamed to show it. Still, even though Randy was very attractive, sweet and nice, Luke knew who his heart belonged to. Sometimes he felt bad for leading Randy on like this…only sometimes. A little flirting never hurt anyone, and if there was one thing being a Snyder had taught him, it was to do anything to get what you wanted.
Luke knew he was slowly wearing away at Noah. He had become the grumpiest person, Luke ever encountered. He was constantly grumbling under his breath, making snide comments he thought no one could hear. Even Maddie had noticed the change in him, Luke mused. She often told him that Noah was so easily angered lately. She had no idea why he was so upset but Luke was sure he did. He knew he should be more worried about Noah’s state of mind, but he couldn’t help but be pleased that his actions affected Noah so much. Now the shoe was on the other foot. Honestly, after everything Noah put him through what harm could a little payback be?
“Damn it,” he said as he started shifting through the items on the desk. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Noah look up from the tapes he was sorting.
“Anything I can help you with,” He aside casually.
“Not unless you have a pen that writes,” Luke sighed as he continued searching for the elusive pen.
He was momentarily startled when a pair of arms slipped around his waist. Instinctively he leaned bac into the embrace as a pair of hands touched his hips.
"Hey Good Looking....whatcha into?" Randy’s voice filled the room. Luke tried his best to hide his snug grin as he turned his head to Randy. He was about to reply with something equally as flirtatious when Noah spoke up.
"Fuck this" he said slamming down the tapes he was working on. He turned to stare at the two boy, and Luke visibly shivered at the look in his eyes. It was pure venom. He locked eyes with Luke for a moment before trailing down to where those hands rested. Luke was fairly certain that Noah snarled at Randy. “This is ridiculous. I’m going to get some air.”
“What’s his problem,” Randy asked as the door slammed behind Noah.
Luke just smiled as he wiggled himself out of Randy’s arms. If Noah only knew that the only arms Luke wanted to be in were his.
“I don’t know,” he answered Randy’s question as he continued his search for a writing utensil. “Something sure is bugging him lately.”
“Maybe he and Maddie had a fight or something?” Randy suggested. Luke looked up and shrugged. “Whatever it is he will get over it. No need of you to trouble yourself. Now was there something you needed to talk to me about?”
“Well actually, yes there is. I wanted to talk to you about horses.”
“Come again,” Luke said raising his eyebrows.
“Yes, I want you to teach me how to ride. It would give us some time to get to know each other too.” Luke opened his mouth to speak but he wasn’t really sure what to say to that. Randy seemed so eager though, how could he refuse.
“Yeah, sure we can do that one day yes.”
“I’ll look forward to it.”
“Look forward to what,” Maddie entered the room with a box in her hand. Luke quickly relieved her of her burden and she smiled at him gratefully. “Where’s Noah, and what did I just interrupt?”
“Noah is in one of his mood, today,” Luke said with a shrug. “I’m sure he will be back shortly. What is this?” he asked indicating the box which now sat on the table.
“Katie wants you and Noah to sort through these tapes,” Maddie explained. She wants them categorized and logged by the end of the day. Think you can handle that?” Luke nodded, even though he wasn’t certain how Noah would feel about that right this second.
“So are you going to tell me what you two were talking about?” Maddie brought his attention back to the present. Maddie had directed her question at Randy, who was now sitting in the chair Noah had occupied earlier.
“Luke is going to give me horseback riding lessons one day,” he heard Randy explain. I am looking forward to spending some time alone with him.”
“That’s great,” Maddie said smiling. Luke could only imagine what scenarios her devious little mind was cooking up. “I’m glad to see that you are fitting in around here Randy. And I’m glad you and Luke are hitting it off. Maybe you two should go out on a date.”
“Maddie don’t,” Luke started but his best friend was determined to play matchmaker today.
“In fact,” she said much to Luke’s chagrin, “we should go on a double date. You and Luke, and me and Noah. I’ll talk it over with him, but I’m sure it would be okay. What do you think Randy?”
“It sounds like a perfect idea to me,” Randy said with a smile. “It would give me a chance to know all of you outside of work
Maddie nodded. “And Luke can teach us all to ride. I know Noah always wanted to learn and Luke is a great horseman. He’s been around horses his whole life.”
“I can’t wait to learn from him then,” Randy commented. “I’m sure he’s good at a lot of things.”
“I’m still here you know,” Luke piped up, a little irritated at the conversation. “Don’t I get to decide who I go out with and how I spend my time?”
“Oh Luke,” Maddie said coming to give her friend a hug. “It will be fun. You don’t et out enough, Noah and I both think so. We just want you to be as happy as we are.”
‘It will be fun, Luke,” Randy added his two cents. “You should talk to Noah,” he told Maddie,” Would tonight be good?”
Luke sighed. Once again they were talking about him, but leaving him out of the conversation. He somehow doubted that Noah would be happy with this turn of events. Though he thought it was interesting that according to Maddie he thought it was a good idea for Randy and Luke to get closer.
He didn't really want to do this. He didn’t want to date Randy, but it was almost worth it to see Noah's face when Maddie told him the plan. He was reminded of those old cartoons where the fire shot out the character’s ears after eating hot sauce. Noah’s ears were definitely red, but Luke was sure he was the only one who noticed.
“So you’re going on a date with Randy?” Noah said breaking the silence that had lingered between them. 20 full minutes had passed with neither boy saying anything as they sorted through the tapes.
Luke shrugged, flashing a smile in Noah’s direction before he went back to work. “I guess,” he responded evenly. “It’s a double date with you and Mads…so it should be cool. You know get to know each other and such. Perhaps you could even learn to like Randy.”
He knew the likelihood of that was slim, and he tried not to let it show that he was enjoying this game a little too much.
"Oh....And just how well do you want to know Randy?" Noah asked, his true feelings clear in his voice.
He thought about being honest here. He wanted to tell Noah that he was only trying to drive him crazy. But he couldn’t do it. If he did then Noah would go back to knowing he wanted only him, and this whole thing would have been for nothing. He really had no choice here…he had to lie.
"Heh...Pretty Well if ya know what I mean” he responded sending a crude wink Noah’s way.
He didn’t expect Noah to move so fast. Nor was he figuring he would be pressed against the desk with Noah practically on top of him. He was in his face, those brown eyes boring holes right into his soul. He certainly didn’t expect to be back where he started; waiting for that never-goinna-happen-again kiss.”
“Luke,” Noah breathed, “Why are you doing this?”
“What’s Luke doing?” Maddie strolled in the room. Noah moved so fast that Luke wondered if he had burned him or something.
“I was asking Luke why he was so afraid of going out with Randy.” Noah covered quickly. “He is trying to back out of the date, and I was asking him why.
Maddie looked at her friend and frowned. “Luke, you know this will be okay, right. I mean, Randy is a nice guy, and he seems to really like you. Give him a chance, and relax. Noah and I are going to be right there with you. There’s nothing to worry about.
“Yeah, right,” Luke said under his breath. Noah pulled Maddie into a hug just then and caught Luke’s eye. This was going to be a very long night.
This was going to be a very long night. He could already tell, and they had barely settled into their seats yet. He was a complete gentleman pulling out Maddie’s chair and making sure she was okay before he sat in his spot between her and Luke. She looked lovely tonight, then that wasn’t anything new. Maddie always looked nice. She was a very attractive girl, he was lucky to have her on his arm…at least his father would thought so. The colonel was happy with his choice, it fit the image he had always strived to project.
Maddie was his girlfriend, and he cared about her a lot, but he had to at least admit to himself that something was wrong. No matter how much he tried to hide it, tried to convince himself that this was right it wasn’t. It couldn’t be when his eyes kept sneaking a glimpse of the gorgeous blond sitting to his right. It frightened him, just how attracted to Luke he really was. There was just something about him, or maybe it was a lot of things. There was this spark between them, something he felt the moment their eyes locked that first day.
And he ran from it. Quick, fast and in a hurry; it was the only thing he could do. And it wasn’t completely wrong…was it? He did care about Maddie. They had a connection too. They understood each other in ways that no one else could begin to. There weren’t many people who understood his love of old movies. Maddie did. She picked up on his weird references and she understood him…but then again she didn’t really know him.
Luke did. That was the most baffling thing. No matter how often he argued the point, no matter what he said or how angry he got he could not deny that simple thing. Luke, his golden haired Adonis knew him better than he knew himself, and right now, at this very second he was close to losing it all…to HIM.
He didn’t understand what Luke saw in him; he was nothing but a Matt Damon wannabe and at this very moment he had his hands all over Luke. Noah didn’t like that, he didn’t like it one bit.
“You look really nice tonight, Luke,” he heard Randy say as his hand slipped under the table. Noah could only imagine where that hand was resting right now, and it made him green with envy. Randy was right about one thing, Luke did look good. He was wearing a blue shirt that showed off his body perfectly, and it matched his eyes. That shirt was the same one Luke wore the day they shared their first kiss. Noah couldn’t help but wonder if that was why he wore it tonight.
Luke only smiled at Randy’s compliment…that was typical of him. He was very modest, almost shy. Calm was the word that came to mind whenever he thought about Luke. There was just something about him, something Noah wanted more than anything…even though he couldn’t have it.
Of course that didn’t mean he wanted to watch someone else have it. He knew it was selfish of him but he couldn’t help how he felt. Watching someone else touch Luke was like having his favorite meal set out before him, only to watch someone else eat it. Even the small touches, like Randy’s arm slung around his shoulder made Noah antsy. He tried to focus on Maddie, who was leaning her head against his shoulder. His arm went around her and they shared a small kiss, but almost like a magnet he was drawn back to the scene across from him.
He was acutely aware of the advances the new intern was making towards Luke and it annoyed him to no end. Just who did he think he was, kissing Luke’s palm like that. Such an intimate gesture, not really proper for a first date; Noah gritted his teeth so hard he was surprised no one seemed to notice. He was finding it very hard to restrain himself. A part of him wanted to leap across the table and punch Randy’s lights out.
He frowned as he realized exactly what that meant. His reaction to Randy said a lot about how much he cared for Luke, and that wasn’t something he wanted to think about right now. It was hard not to when he had thoughts such as these. He wasn’t a violent guy, but the thought of anyone, let alone Randy, touching Luke had him seeing everything through a tint of red.
It didn’t help matters that Luke seemed to be enjoying himself. He hated to admit to himself that he wanted Luke to have a horrible time. He wanted the date to turn out awful so that there wouldn’t be a second date.
“Don’t they look so cute together?” Maddie’s voice interrupted his thoughts and he smiled at her. She was such a romantic, wanting Luke to be as happy as she was. He felt a pang of guilt. He knew he was hurting her by doing this, allowing her to believe that he cared for her. He did care for her, that wasn’t really the falsehood here. She was a great girl, and an awesome friend. That was the crux, his heart as it was actually belonged to Luke…and he was too scared to admit it out loud.
“They do seem to be having a good time,” he admitted in answer to Maddie’s question. “It is good to see Luke loosening up a bit.” That was true at least. For the past few days, Luke had been very uptight and subdued. Of course he was well aware that he had been the cause of that. Why couldn’t things ever be simple?”
They ordered their food, and Maddie started a conversation with Randy. Luke was sitting there, seemingly taking in Randy’s every word. Noah decided then and there that he wanted some of Luke’s attention. It amazed him just how much he hated when Luke’s attention was focused on someone other than him.
A plan formed in his mind as he listened to the conversation going on around him. Maddie and Randy were deep in discussion about a movie they had seen, and Randy made an off hand comment about taking Luke to see it on their next date. It could have been his imagination, but he could have sworn that Luke looked unhappy about the prospect of being alone with Randy. If he was that preoccupied then this just might work…whatever the case Noah knew he had to try.
With his right foot he pushed off his left show. Ever so slowly he inched h is foot across the distance to Luke’s foot, allowing it to settle on top of his shoe. Luke jumped at the contact and Noah smiled at his triumph.
“Are you alright, Luke,” Randy asked just then, interrupting their moment yet again.
‘Uh yeah…yeah…just, um…random chill Luke stammered. Noah had to hide his smile. It was obvious to him what Luke was jumpy about.
“It is a little nippy in here,” Maddie said as she snuggled closer to Noah. Randy agreed with that sentiment and wrapped his arm around Luke once more.
Noah kept his eyes on Maddie as he started making circles around Luke’s foot. He scooted his toes under the bottom part of Luke’s pants, softly rubbing at his ankle.
“Luke, what’s wrong?” Maddie exclaimed. The concern in her voice made Noah turn his head, and he realized that was his biggest mistake. He only caught a glimpse of Luke’s wide eyes before the other boy’s head went down. Those piercing eyes that Noah adored were now glued to the tabletop. He didn’t know what had come over him. For god’s sake he was sitting right beside his girlfriend, and Luke’s date was right across from her. If his father had any idea what he was doing he would be skinned alive.
Yet on the other hand this was well worth the reactions he was getting out of Luke. Just the mere fact that he wasn’t saying anything-that he didn’t alert anyone to what was happening, and he didn’t attempt to stop it either. It was time to take things even further.”
“Fine,” Luke gasped, his eyes still focused on the table. Noah noticed Randy’s hand on Luke’s back but he somehow doubted that Luke was aware of him.
Slowly he continued running his foot along Luke’s leg. He heard him gasp again and he stalled his foot at his kneecap.
“I’m fine, thanks,” he heard Luke say. He looked up just in time to see him smiling politely at Randy. When he was certain that no one would question Luke’s odd outburst he took things one step further. He knew he was being reckless, but he was getting a thrill out of seeing Luke squirm.
Randy and Maddie for the most part seemed to be wrapped up in their conversation. He had lost track of what they were discussing. The last thing he remembered Maddie mentioning was something about
He loved the reactions he was getting from Luke’s body. He wasn’t even looking at him, and he wanted to keep it that way. There was no need to see what he could feel. His foot inched further and further u p Luke’s leg, he could feel those muscles tighten, and then his body went stiff as if he was trying not to make a sound. Noah was very proud of himself at that point.
Deliberately he made his way to Luke’s inner thigh and started a slow rhythm of massaging it with his toes. He chanced another glance at Luke only to see that he was gripping the edge of the table. Luke’s knuckles were white from the effort and his eyes were still glued to the table. It was a wonder that Maddie and Randy didn’t notice. Luke looked almost feverish, and his breathing was becoming heavy.
His foot inched over until he was met with Luke’s hard cock under his toes. His eyes were still on the blond head, until finally he was gifted with that sexy dark blue gaze. They stared at each other for what seemed like hours, neither man moving an inch. It was as if they were in their own little world. Luke licked his lips and nodded his head yes. That was all the encouragement Noah needed.
His foot pressed down on Luke’s crotch, moving it in a tight small circle. He knew the friction would be incredible. He knew t his was wrong, they were in public for crying out loud, with other people at that. His girlfriend was sitting right beside him, and surely he should not be doing this, but just this simple act was turning him on. He couldn’t remember ever being this worked up. Just knowing he was giving Luke this pleasure, knowing he was fighting to be silent, knowing they had to act like none of this was happening was driving Noah insane.
His hands moved, grabbing hold of the sides of his seat. It was reflect, he used them as leverage to put more pressure on the circles he was tracing around Luke.. Suddenly he stopped. He put his foot where Luke’s cock started. He moved his foot up and down. Fast. Luke bit his lip and closed his eyes. He made a note to remember that he seemed to like it that way.
When he felt moisture seep into his sock, he knew immediately what it was. Luke was ready to explode. Just thinking about how this would be explained to Randy made him giggle. The whole situation maddening and he could hardly believe he was doing what he was doing. Thinking about Luke made him daring…reckless…dangerous. He liked it.
Noah could hear Luke’s breathing speed up as they continued to look at each other. Intense brown and desirable blue melded together in this moment. He was only momentarily shocked when he felt a pressure on his foot. The fact that Luke was trying to speed along the process gave him a sense of pride like none he had ever felt. Luke wanted this, and he wanted to give it to him. It was growing increasingly hard for him to keep his own breathing under control. He had to sit very still and be nonchalant, which was easier said than done. When all he wanted to do was crawl under the table and finished what you started
He knew the exact moment when it happened. He could feel the way his body was working overtime. Noah wished that it wasn’t his foot that had caused such a sensation. It disturbed him just how aroused he was by the thought of tasting Luke. Just thinking about it sent a shudder through him. He jumped when Luke’s head hit the table with a thud, followed by a loud moan.
"Oh my God....Luke are you okay" Maddie’s voice broke into his reverie, and he realized they weren’t alone, and it was time to come back to reality. He felt Luke push his foot away and he fought to keep the grin from crossing his lips. It was time to see just how this would be explained.
“Do we need to take you home?” Randy asked, concern written all over his face.
“Yeah….I mean, No you don’t need to take me home.”
He thought it was the cutest thing in the world to hear Luke stammer. The fact that he was the cause of it was even better
“I’m just feeling a little overworked I guess.”
Noah said nothing as Luke grinned at him, before trying to reach for his water glass. Somehow he managed to spill it on himself and everyone jumped up to grab napkins.
*That was a good way to cover it up,* Noah mused proudly. He flashed Luke a secret grin and he was rewarded with a wink.
Their food arrived soon after that and the rest of the evening seemed to fly by. Maddie and Randy questioned Luke again about his health. They wanted to make sure he was okay. Noah added in his two cents but for the most part he focused on Maddie. It was becoming more apparent to him with every moment that he did love her, as a friend. She was a great girl to be around and he enjoyed talking to her and making her smile. He felt a pang of guilt for what he had done earlier, and tried extra hard to avoid looking at Randy who was babying Luke at that very moment.
“How about you show me around the farm tonight?” Randy suggested as they stood up to leave the restaurant.
“He already has a ride home,” Noah snapped before Luke could even open his mouth. He took a deep breath and stayed his temper. He knew Randy, Maddie and even Luke were looking at him, and it was time to cover. “I mean, we brought him here. It doesn’t make sense for you to go out of your way when we can take him in the truck.”
“I want to spend some time alone with Luke, if you wouldn’t mind,” Randy retorted, slipping his arm around Luke’s shoulder to make a point. Once again Noah had to reign in that temper. He wanted to squash Randy like the annoying bug that he was.
“It’s alright, Noah,” Luke piped up then. You and Maddie should go have some quality time together. I’m not ready to go home yet and I don’t want to feel like a third wheel.”
“You aren’t a third wheel,” Noah insisted. He hoped he didn’t sound as desperate as he felt. I brought you here; I should be the one to take you home. It’s only right.”
He felt a hand on his arm and looked down to see Maddie smiling up at him. “Randy and Luke need some time to get to know each other, Noah. Luke is a big boy, I’m sure he can take care of himself.”
She turned her attention to Randy and smiled apologetically. “You have to excuse him,” she explained. “He’s just a little overprotective of Luke. We both are. But we know you won’t hurt him.”
Noah was seeing red. He didn’t want Luke to go off with Randy alone. Especially not to the Snyder farm; he secretly thought of the farm as his and Luke’s spot. Randy had no right to go there, no right at all.
“I can understand that,” Randy’s voice broke through his thoughts. “Don’t worry, Maddie. Luke is in good hands with me.”
“That’s exactly what I’m worried about,” Noah mumbled under his breath. He was sure Luke had heard him for at that moment he looked up and locked eyes with him.
He couldn’t read the expression on Luke’s face, and he wished he had a moment alone to talk to him. Of course what he was thinking about involved far more than talking.
“Good bye, Noah.”
It was the tone of voice that got him more than the words. For a long moment he stood there watching as Luke left with Randy, their arms wrapped around each other as they talked and laughed. Maddie tugged on his arm, and they left the restaurant. For her sake he was going to try not to think about Luke and Randy alone. This was not the time for him to be jealous.
That next morning he still couldn’t get the image of Luke and Randy out of his head. He could see it clearly, the two of them laughing and talking, having a good old time. The scene shifted sometimes, revealing even more than he really wanted to know. The image of Luke and Randy sharing a kiss after a dip in the pond was enough to send him into a rage.
“What’s wrong with you?”
The voice made him jump and he turned to find himself looking into Luke’s deep blue eyes. “What?” he asked trying to play it off.
“What did that paper ever do to you?” Luke questioned him curiously.
He looked at the paper that now lay crumpled in his hand. It startled him for a moment, and he realized he needed to come up with some kind of excuse here. “Oh, I had a bad night is all.” He said shrugging his shoulders. He put the paper on the table and tried to smooth it out, and he was sure he didn’t imagine the smug look that crossed Luke’s face.
“Try not to take it out on the script next time, Noah. I am sorry you had a bad night though. I thought yesterday was fun.”
“And just how much fun did you have?” The words were out of his mouth before he could stop them and he wanted to kick himself. He didn’t want to know the answer to that question anymore then he wanted to know the price of tea in
“Hey Luke,” Randy said entering the room. What was it with that kid? He certainly has perfect timing, Noah thought bitterly.
“Hi,” Luke responded without looking up. He was trying to get the creases out of the paper Noah had so carelessly wrinkled.
