Luke sighed but nodded a llittle resting his head back against his pillow.

"Can't ya stay?" asked Luke in a wheedlesome tone.

Luke kissed her hand gently knowing better than to argue with her.

Luke frowned."I aint tired."

"I love you too darlin," said Luke gently,

Luke smiled a little running a finger down her cheek.

Luke swallowed gently as she returned the kiss before turning slightly and pulling her closer kissing her tenderly.

Luke leaned back into her a little, kissing her lips gently.

Luke's hand made its way to her face and rested on her cheek as she kissed him, a shiver running up his spine.

Eventually Luke closed his hands over hers looking up at her swallowing.

Luke closed hs eyes but to say he wasn't thinking of anything would be a lie. At the moment he was thinking how nice her hands felt and how it had been a long time since he felt this strongly for a woman.

Luke winced slightly ot having realized how tense he was.

Luke ran a hand down his face. He wasn't sure what he wanted anymore. All he knew was that he was stessed out.

"Me too," he said thinking how he should have acted sooner.

"That ain't fair! He's a Duke! he belongs with us!"

"He did...but they said...they wanted him with relatives...why...why would they just give him to another when a relative wanted him?!" demanded Luke.

"Jaime wanted a little brother..."

"Well...Jaime'll be happy..." he said not sure if he was up to fathering Troy already with all the stress he was already under but willing to try.

"I was gonna adopt him...they said I'd have to wait for the papers...." he answered looking at her confused.

"Wh-what? B-but they said....the papers wouldn't..." Luke looked at her a confused and worried look on his face.

"Yeah well...I guess I aint been myself lately..." he answered softly.

"I just though...it'd be best...an with Troy..." he sighed. "Don't matter...I'm gonna be wrong for it no matter what I say anyway..."

"Jesse...he's bad sick...an I tried...t handle it...Bo...got mad..."

"S'everythin..." he said with a sigh. "Bo specially."

"Uncle Jesse taught me not t say what I just said in front of a lady," explained Luke softly.
