Two Times Lucky

A Lucky Moon vignette

Piper Vaughn

ÐAre you sure you want to do this?Ñ

Nick looked up and gave Luka a cocky grin. ÐIÓm

not worried about the pain, if thatÓs what youÓre asking.Ñ

Luka shook his head and stepped closer to the

portable table NickÓs tattoo artist, Jos, had set up in their

living room a few minutes before. Nick had stripped off his

shirt and was in the middle of getting situated while Jos

checked the rest of his supplies. The first Die Hard movie

waited in their Blu-Ray player to be turned on once the

tattooing got started. Luka would be there to distract Nick

for at least part of the time as well, but he was getting more

and more nervous about the whole thing. He never wanted

this to be something Nick regretted.

ÐNo.Ñ Luka ran his fingers along the edge of the

stencil Jos had applied to the left side of NickÓs ribcage. ÐI

didnÓt think you would be.Ñ He got to the bottom of NickÓs

ribs and changed direction, skimming across the flatness of

NickÓs abdomen to his right hip where the edge of NickÓs

red and orange dragon tattoo peeked out from the

waistband of his steel-colored track pants.

Luka had spent a lot of time focused on that tattoo

since theyÓd gotten togetherÏlicking, biting, tracing it with

his fingertips. It was his favorite, mostly because of its

location. NickÓs hipbones were one of his hot spots and he

writhed and trembled whenever Luka lingered on them. But

the new tattoo, well, it would be one of the few Nick had

that actually meant something. That made it different from

so many of the others.

ÐI just want to know,Ñ Luka murmured, drawing his

index finger along the curve of the dragonÓs tail and

smiling briefly as Nick squirmed. ÐAre you sure you want

to get this tattoo for me?Ñ

Nick reached down to still his hand and lace their

fingers together. ÐWhy?Ñ Nick grinned again. ÐYou

planning on leaving me anytime soon?Ñ He said it jokingly,

but Luka didnÓt miss the flash of doubt that flitted across

his face. Nick tried to hide it, like he did with everything

that could make him seem insecure or vulnerable, but Luka

knew that aside from losing his brother, the only thing that

truly frightened Nick was the idea of losing Luka himself.

Luka leaned down and kissed him, a deep, hard kiss

that might have led to something more if Jos hadnÓt been

sitting in the room. Nick didnÓt have anything to worry

about. Despite their ups and downs, Luka could never walk

away from Nick again. The first time had almost killed

him. Just the memory of it was enough to make his stomach

churn. ÐIÓm not going anywhere. I just want you to be

sure.Ñ

NickÓs hand came up to cradle the back of his head,

holding Luka close when Luka would have straightened.

ÐIÓm so sure I canÓt even tell you how fucking sure I am.

You know me. IÓm notÈ IÓm not good at all that romantic

shit. I canÓt do rings or a wedding. This tattoo, itÓs my

promise. My forever promise. To you.Ñ

LukaÓs eyes burned and he kissed Nick again,

softer, his mouth trembling. ÐI love you.Ñ

Nick kissed him back, long and slow, seemingly

oblivious to JosÓs silent presence. It still amazed Luka that

Nick didnÓt care who saw them anymore, didnÓt mind the

general public knowing about their relationship. Nick had

come so far, changed so much, since that first day Luka

saw him at Glenwood. Yet, heÓd stayed Nick in every way

that truly mattered.

When Nick finally let him pull away, Luka was

flushed and shaky, his lips tingling. Nick smirked, which

made Luka waver between wanting to punch him in

frustration or kiss him again. Over and over again. Dammit.

Nick knew exactly what those kisses did to him.
