Important Note: This story was written by request. It takes place the night Sheridan watched Luis through her bedroom window while he was putting up a security alarm on the back fence. It happened before the whole Les warehouse shooting. Oh and let’s just pretend Hank was not there that night. This is written entirely in Sheridan’s point of view. Someday I may go and write a sequel to this, but for now this is it. I hope you enjoy it!

Luis & Sheridan: Timing Is Everything (Complete fic)

Sheridan Crane walked out of her bedroom just as Luis walked back inside the house. He wasn’t wearing a shirt and the sight of his muscular chest was enough to cause her body to go into sensory overload. Why did she have to be so damn attracted to the man? It just wasn’t fair.

“I thought you already went to bed.” Luis stated flatly as he walked down the steps into the living room.

“You thought wrong.” Sheridan said as she turned and walked toward her bookshelf in the corner of the living room. She thumbed through the titles not really reading any of them. She couldn’t even if she wanted to. Her mind was too filled with the site of a shirtless Luis to really pay attention to what she was reading.

“Good, I’m actually glad you’re still up.”

“You are?” She asked turning around in surprise.

“Yeah. I want to take a quick shower and since you’re up, I don’t have to worry about waking you.” He grabbed some clothes out of his bag that he kept underneath the coffee table then without another word he walked into her bedroom and into the bathroom. The door clicked shut behind him and Sheridan felt like screaming as an image of his naked body flashed in her mind. There was no way she was going into her bedroom to read when Luis was in her bathroom taking a shower. She’d never be able to concentrate if she did.

Grabbing a book off the shelf, she walked over to the couch and sat down. She would wait until Luis was done with his shower before she went back into her bedroom. Sighing, she brought her legs up onto the couch then opened the romance book she’d gotten off the shelf and began to lose herself in the story. She was so engrossed in the story that she didn’t hear the shower shut off or Luis call her name when he finally stepped back into the living room. In fact, she didn’t even know he was there until he touched her shoulder, causing her to jump in surprise.

“Sorry.” Luis said with a chuckle. “I called your name but you didn’t hear me. Must be some story you’re reading.”

“What’s it about?” He asked as he took a seat beside her on the couch and tried to peer at the pages she held in front of her face. “As he walked toward her, like a lion stalking his prey, she unconsciously took a step back – not out of fear for her physical safety but out of fear for her emotional one.”

“Do you always read over people’s shoulders?” Sheridan asked raising a brow in his direction. He still hadn’t put a shirt on and oh how she wished he would. Seeing him wearing nothing but a pair of well-worn blue jeans was enough to wreck some major havoc on her libido.

“No.” He said chuckling as he plucked the book from her hands and started to read more of the story aloud. “He reached her finally and it was all she could do not to beg him to take her – right here right now. She wanted him more than she’d ever wanted any man in her life and what made it even worse was the fact that she knew he wanted her too.”

Sheridan took a deep breath as Luis continued to read the passage from the story. Her breathing picked up momentum with each soft word from his throat and each look he sent her way when the passage became a little too hot. She had never felt something as erotic as having a man read her a sex scene from a romance novel. And for that man to be Luis… it was just way too much.

She started to reach for the book but his next words stopped her hand in mid air. “I can’t deny my feelings any longer. I need you. I need to feel your body close to mine. I need to feel your heart in tune with mine. I want you, he said his eyes never leaving her face. I want you more than I’ve ever wanted anyone in my life. Then make love to me, she said in a breathless whisper. Make love to me now.”

Sheridan swallowed hard as Luis raised his dark eyes from the book in his hands and locked them onto hers. The heat in his gaze and the sexual tension that filled the air was almost enough to make her to stop breathing altogether. She unconsciously licked her lips, a movement that caught his eyes. The tension in the room rose higher, she could feel it. It was almost enough to set her cottage aflame. She was surprised the Harmony fire department wasn’t already there trying to put out the flames.

She took a deep breath as his gaze slipped lower and landed on her breasts. She knew he could see her taut nipples through her thin satin gown and she wondered what he would do about it. Would he ignore the pull between them as they had on some many other nights like this or would he finally do something about it? Something that would put an end to the sexual frustration that had been between them since they first met. She could deny how she felt about him to everyone, including him, but she could no longer deny it to herself. She hadn’t been able to do that for a very long time. She wanted him, but she could never have him. He’d made that very clear on more than one occasion.

“Luis,” she whispered into the sudden silence. “Can I have my book back?”

His eyes once again met hers and for a second she wondered if he’d even heard her, but then he held out her book to her so she knew he had. She reached for it and as their fingers grazed against each other, a bolt of electricity shot through her body causing her to take a sharp intake of breath. Luis’ eyes darkened to an even deeper shade of brown and it was the only clue she had that told her that he had felt it too.

He made no move to release the book or her hand and she made no move either. She couldn’t even if she wanted to. She couldn’t take her eyes off his and evidently he couldn’t take his off hers either. Her heart picked up in speed as he slowly began to lean toward her and as his lips touched hers she let out a moan of pleasure. He slid his lips sensuously against her own and she couldn’t think of anything that had ever felt more right in her entire life. She had always known there was a deep connection between them but she’d never felt it more than she felt it right now. She let go of the book and raised her right hand to the back of his head as her left palm rested against his bare chest. The heat pulsating from his skin and the mastery with which he kissed her was enough to brand her for life.

She barely heard him toss the book to the floor as he leaned in closer, causing her to lean back against the cushions of the couch. His hands roamed down her sides to the bottom of her nightgown and she let out another moan as his hand touched her bare thigh. He slowly began raise it upward and she wondered how in the world she had survived this long without him touching her or her touching him. She racked her nail across his nipple and took great satisfaction in the guttural grown that tore from his throat.

He started to move her gown up her hips and she raised herself up on her knees to allow him better access. He pulled his lips away from hers to send her a killer grin then once again he captured her lips with his. His hands roamed over her stomach then up to cup her breasts and as he began to massage them, she began to lose herself in the sensations of his touch. Nothing in her life had ever felt more right. She had no doubts that this was exactly where she was supposed to be -–in his arms.

Sheridan pulled her head from his then lowered her hands to the snap of his jeans. As she released the button, she took note of the way Luis’ breathing rapidly began to deepen. She lowered her hand to the zipper of his jeans and slowly eased it down then she ran her hand lightly over him, eliciting a low moan from Luis. She smiled then continued to stroke him until his hand closed over her wrist and yanked her up against his chest. The look in his eyes told her everything she had ever wanted him to say and more. She licked her lips and he dove forward to capture her tongue between his lips. He began to suck on it gently and she dug her nails into his chest as the sensations almost overwhelmed her.

“Luis.” She said on a moan. “Please.”

He pulled away with a grin then picked her up into his arms and carried her into the bedroom. He lowered her to the ground letting her body slide the length of his on the way. She wasn’t sure how she managed to stay standing as he bunched the material of her gown around her hips and bent down to place a kiss against her stomach. His tongue shot out to tease her belly button and she had to hold onto his shoulders to keep from falling to the ground. “Luis!”

She heard him chuckle and felt his warm breath as it hit her stomach. “Impatient, aren’t you?”

“Yes.” She said as she wrapped a hand in his hair and pulled him up to her mouth. “I’m very impatient. Haven’t you learned anything about me while living here?”

“Oh yeah, I have.” He said raising his hand to her cheeks and placing a kiss along her eyelids, down her nose, and finally to her mouth. “I’ve learned more than I ever could have imagined. For instance… I saw you watching me from your window tonight.”

“I know.” She moaned as his hands worked her gown higher and finally pulled it up over her head. “I saw you watching me watch you.”

“Did you like what you saw?” He asked his mouth covering the pulse point on her neck then moving lower, over her shoulders and finally taking one taut nipple into his mouth.

“YES!” She yelled as his tongue swirled around her nipple causing the tension inside her to mount even higher.

Luis took a step forward, causing Sheridan to back up, her knees hitting the bed behind her. A second later, she found herself being lowered back onto the mattress and Luis’ body covering her own. The feel of his strong body over hers was a heady sensation and only heightened her need for him. She had never wanted anyone as much as she wanted Luis and she knew she never would. There was just something between them that no one but them understood.

“God, you taste good.” Luis said as he began to kiss his way across her body. “I’ve been dreaming of this for so long. Did you know that? Did you know that I dream about you while I’m sleeping on that couch?”

“No.” She said arching off the bed as his hands tugged her panties down her hips and down her legs. “But I know I dream about you sharing this bed with me.”

“Yeah?” He asked raising his eyes to hers, with a seductive smile showing on his lips. “Tell me about your dreams and I’ll tell you about mine. What did we do in them?”

She bit her lip wondering if she could tell him about the erotic dreams that had become her favorite nightly ritual. How would she ever get through tell him all the things they’d done? There was no way she could stop herself from turning six shades of red as one of the images from her dreams flashed in her mind.

“That good, huh?” Luis asked chuckling. “Yeah, mine were too sweetheart. Did you know that in my dreams I saw you like this? I saw the way the moonlight cast a shadow, right here,” he said taking a taut nipple between his right thumb and forefinger. “right here across your breasts as if it were illuminating me to find them.”

Luis released her nipple then lovingly caressed his way toward her stomach and down the juncture of her thighs. She felt his breath first then his lips and then she felt his tongue. She gripped the sheets tightly as he placed his hands under buttocks and held her to him. The waves of passion started to climb and it was all she could do to keep herself from going over the edge of the proverbial cliff. He must have realized that because he quickly released her and shucked his jeans off. The sight of his male form was enough to make her pant with need. Then she remembered – she wasn’t on the pill.

“Luis?” She asked as he started to lean down toward her. “Please tell me you have a condom with you.”

He froze for a heartbeat then cursed and walked naked into the other room. She could hear him rummaging around and prayed he would come up with what they needed. He didn’t disappoint her. He walked back into the room not two seconds later, yielding a small foil packet as if it were a medal. She laughed then eagerly watched him tear open the packet with his teeth and roll it on over his shaft. She didn’t even try to hide her admiration of his physique. She was beyond hiding anything from him anymore anyway. He had unlocked a door and now her heart… her emotions were running free. More free than they had ever been in her entire life and she knew the reason why. She had tried denying it over the past year but it was always there staring her right in the face – she was in love with Luis. She, Sheridan Crane, was in love with stubborn as a mule Luis and damned if she didn’t like it.

Luis walked toward her and brought out into the sexiest grin she had ever seen. “You take my breath away, Sheridan.”

She smiled then reached for his arm and tugged him down on top of her. “Then allow me to resuscitate you.”

He laughed then covered her mouth in a passionate kiss. As their tongues began to duel, Sheridan raised her hips to signal she was ready to for him. He didn’t make her wait any longer. The moment she parted her legs, he was there… inside her… filling her more completely than anything in her life ever had before. He began to move within in her and she couldn’t hold back any longer. She wrapped her legs around his hips and together they began to dance.

As the waves of passion grew stronger and as her control started to snap, Sheridan whispered the words that would forever change her life. “I love you, Luis.”

Luis looked down at her, his face filled with wondrous awe and she knew even before he said the words – he loved her too. She climaxed a heartbeat later and as wave after wave hit her she knew – timing was everything and tonight for the first time in a long time the timing for her and Luis was absolutely perfect.

Sheridan didn’t know what tomorrow would bring, but tonight had brought her everything she had ever dreamed of and more… So much more. It had brought her love - Luis’ love - and she knew she would remember this night for the rest of her life – a life she now knew she wanted to share with Luis.

THE END
