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 *~~~~~~~~~~*
