New Leaves, No Strings (Austin Erotic Romance Series)

by C. J. Fallowfield

‘Hardly, but I think I need to lay some more ground rules.’

  ‘For what?’

  ‘Us, this,’ he said gesticulating the space between us.

  ‘This? What exactly are you trying to say?’ Ok sexy as he was, this was no longer fun.

  ‘This, what’s between us, isn’t just about sex for me. Is that all it is for you?’

  ‘Gabe two hours ago I hadn’t even kissed you and now you’re asking me to define whatever this is? I thought we’d agreed this was sex no strings.’

  ‘I can’t go any further, unless you tell me that you’re not just in it to put another notch on your bed post.’

  ‘O so that’s it. That’s what you think? I’m a whore who fucks her way around Uni and keeps score, well thanks very much Gabe,’ I spat. I turned and tried to walk away, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me back up against his chest. I was angry, angry and hot for him, which was all the more frustrating. I struggled to get out of his grasp, but he held me tightly to him and I could feel my body starting to melt against his.

  ‘That’s not what I meant Mia, stop struggling.’

  ‘What did you mean then Gabe? Because I’m clueless here and getting seriously pissed off. I told you no jealousy, no complaining about my friends,’ I hissed glaring at him and finally managed to push him off me.

  ‘God you just don’t get it do you?’ he said with frustration as he ran his hand through his hair.

  ‘Get what?’

  ‘You’ve made it clear this is all about sex for you. You might not want a relationship Mia, but I’m not in this for just a one night stand, or to just to be your bloody boy toy whenever the urge strikes you. I feel a connection with you that I’ve never had with anyone before. I thought you felt it too?’

  His normal confident exterior had been replaced by something more vulnerable and he seemed genuinely upset. I studied his face as he looked at me and saw his eyes were pleading with me to put him out of his misery. I sighed, I did feel something, an inexplicable pull to him, like a river drawn to the ocean. I was scared though, scared that I liked him enough to not want to walk away after sleeping with him a couple of times. I sighed and moved towards him and put my fingers in the front pocket of his jeans and pulled him to me and placed a gentle kiss on his lips before letting him go.

  ‘Gabe, we seem to have this incredible attraction to each other, but we discussed this. We hardy know each other so if you’re asking me to say where this is going, I can’t answer that. I was perfectly clear from the start, no strings. Take it or leave it.’

  ‘Are you still open to dating me exclusively, no complications like Milo.’

  ‘Milo’s now one of my friends and will remain a friend, I told you I can’t see someone who places restrictions on who I can or cannot see or be friends with, whether they be male or female.’

  ‘I’m not comfortable you being around him. I don’t trust him, I don’t like him,’ he said with the sulk of a young teen.

  ‘Then you’ll just have to agree to trust me or I’ll have to end this now. Put yourself in my place. You’re going to be half naked with your ex several times a week, as well as other amazingly fit and toned scantily clad women and you expect me to trust you’re not playing the field? Can’t we just agree to abide by our decision not to by physical with anyone else, trust each other and see how this goes?’

  ‘I usually go with girls where I know I’m in control, you through me off balance.’ He had the most adorable pout and I had to try not to laugh.

  ‘We’re not so different Gabe, I do the same with the men I usually pick. I like to have the control. You’re different to my usual type too, so this is new for both of us.’

  ‘I don’t like losing, I don’t like people leaving me,’ he sighed as he ran a hand through his hair again.

  ‘Leaving you? O my god. We’ve just started something that I’m not ready to define. I made that perfectly clear from the start, so I could do without a discussion of how we’ll handle things if and when they end. We’ve barely even started anything.’

  ‘I’ve been with lots of girls Mia, so I know the difference between simple lust and something more meaningful.’

  ‘Lots of girls? Great you really know how to make me feel better about all this.’ I wondered how many girls he’d actually been with, what made him feel differently about me? Or was it just a ploy to get in my knickers? Is this what he did to fuck a long string of women easily?

  ‘What I mean is I didn’t envision have a lasting relationship with any of them. What I feel with you, is different, its, it’s just more and that scares me.’

  ‘Believe me it scares me Gabe. You’ve known me five minutes. Why do you think I was so insistent on my ground rules? I’m not ready to talk about committing to anyone. If this is how it’s going to be, you badgering me for answers all the time, pushing me for more or getting jealous and dictating to me, then we stop this right now.’

  ‘I can’t let you go now,’ he replied as he reached up and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. I looked at him wondering if the prospect of sex with him was really worth all this drama. Based on my body’s reactions to him earlier I decided for now it was. I needed to know what it would be like to have sex and I wanted to have it with him, to feel him inside me.

  ‘So we do this day by day Gabe. Now I’d like some of that water you went to get about half an hour ago then I would just like to continue the date that was going really, really well.’

  ‘Day by day,’ he repeated.

  ‘Yes, day by day and I can assure you that while we’re doing this, there’ll be no one else. You agreed to the same.’

  ‘I think I’ve made it quite clear that you’re all I want Mia.’

  ‘Ok, so where’s my bloody water?’ He reached over to the small round bar table and handed me the bottle, he’d already twisted the cap off for me. ‘Thanks.’

  ‘You’re welcome. So it was going really, really well?’ he asked and I nodded. ‘Ok, let’s see what I can do to get us back on track then.’

  His smile just killed me and made me forget what we’d just been arguing about. He took my hand and led me back into the VIP area into one of the cosy dimly lit booths. He sat at the back, behind the table, facing the dance floor and as I sat next to him, he scooped up my feet and pulled my legs across his lap and put his left arm around me. He entwined his fingers in my hair at the back of my head and pulled me into him, kissing my forehead, before finding my willing lips.

  I relaxed into his side immediately. It was just like a cosy winter night in with a blazing fire and a glass of wine, it just felt so good. I’d forgotten what really good snogging felt like and he was the master. I gripped onto his shirt as he kissed away my concerns. His right hand moved from my knee and found its way under my skirt and he ran his fingers up and down my thigh and moaned as he reached between my legs and found the damp patch on my knickers.

  ‘O god, not here,’ I exclaimed.

  ‘Why not? No one can see anything.’ He slid his fingers under the material to reach my sensitive clit which he began to circle again with his thumb. I could feel the response from deep inside my body, radiating its way outwards trying to reach his prying fingers. As I moaned, he slipped his index finger inside me as far as it would go and I gasped at its determined entry.

  ‘Mia, there you are.’ Lexi plonked herself next to me in the booth. ‘Hey Gabe I came to apologise. I was worried about Mia and she told me I’d no reason to be.’

  I would have jumped up and hugged her if it were not for Gabe’s finger inside me and his thumb still pressed firmly on my clit. It was a rare event for Lexi to apologise to anyone.

  ‘No apology needed Lexi, you were just looking out for your friend,’ he replied, deliberately flexing his finger. I twitched and bit my lip to stifle any vocal response.

  ‘Mia, you ok? You look really flushed.’

  ‘I’m good thanks Lex, it’s just warm in here. Gabe’s looking after me really well and plying me with cold water
. I thought you’d gone?’ I replied as I squeezed my pelvic muscle and gripped his finger, which was as far inside me as it could go. The thrill of knowing what he was doing to me while we sat and chatted to Lexi was unbelievable. It turned me on more to know that no one milling around in the club knew what was going on right in front of their eyes.

  ‘No, this place has so many nooks and crannies I lost Andrew. I was just dancing and spotted you.’

  ‘Lexi, if he’s gone then you can’t stay out all night. Come back with us.’

  ‘Wow I’m coming home with you?’ asked Gabe and I could hear the excitement in his voice.

  ‘Well I just assumed as we’ve not … we haven’t … you know. Do you have other plans?’ I asked as I looked at him shyly. He carefully pulled his finger out and then thrust it straight back in making me jump, he was now using his middle finger to gently circle my bottom, which gave me new sensations that were not all together unpleasant.

  ‘No, no other plans, but I’ll only come back if that’s ok with both of you?’ he asked as he looked from me to Lexi.

  ‘Fine with me. O look there’s Andrew. So looks like you two are on your own. Have fun,’ she winked.

  Gabe started on my clit with his thumb again as he continued to stroke my bottom.

  ‘You too Lexi,’ I managed to squeak.

  She leaned over and kissed my cheek ‘Don’t do anything I wouldn’t.’ My face flushed, partly from the embarrassment of her being so close while he was touching me and partly to the impending orgasm building up inside of me as she stood up. ‘See you both later. Take care of her Gabe or you’ll have me to answer to.’

  ‘I’ve no intention of letting her out of my sight, much less being in your bad books. Befriending the best friend’s key, so I hear,’ he replied as his fingers continued to push and stroke me. Holding back my natural response was driving me crazy, I was secretly begging Lexi to go as I was reaching my climax.

  ‘It is and don’t you forget it,’ and she turned and walked off into the crowd as I exploded and felt myself squeezing his fingers rapidly, moisture seeping out each time I released.

  ‘Ooooo god,’ I moaned. It was so hard to suppress the scream I needed to let out as my orgasm reached its peak, so I leaned over and bit down on his shoulder as I shuddered. He nuzzled my hair and kissed the top of my head.

  ‘Owwww that hurt, did you enjoy that little public display?’ he asked. I released my bite lifted my head from his shoulder and looked directly into his eyes.

  ‘Yes and the bite serves you right. That was so more intense than any orgasm I’ve ever had before. I felt so naughty.’

  ‘Good, I did too. I plan to do this with you again and more.’

  ‘You plan?’ I gasped as he withdrew his finger and pulled it up to his mouth and gently sucked it, total lust in his eyes. God I hoped he planned to do it again.

  ‘Yes of course. I’ve imagined us together in many different ways and many different places, does that work for you?’

  ‘Absolutely,’ I grinned. I was all for plenty more orgasms like that. Why had I waited so long?

  ‘You don’t know how happy that makes me,’ he replied as he pulled me in and kissed me again, his tongue working its magic in my mouth, his hand firmly clasping the back of my head, like I’d go anywhere else when he was doing this to me.

  ‘So, what now?’ I asked as we came up for air several minutes later.

  ‘Well, I’ve got another hard on that needs some serious attention or I may just combust, so I’d like to take you home and fuck you if that’s ok with you?’ he asked with a cheeky grin. I gulped, now or never.

  ‘I’d like that very much thank you,’ I replied as I felt my cheeks flame. He pushed the table back and grabbed my hand and pulled me up. ‘Owwww,’ I exclaimed.

  ‘What’s the matter?’

  ‘It’s just my boots, they’re new and we’ve been having a fight all night and my feet are losing,’ I laughed.

  ‘Then I’ll carry you,’ he exclaimed as he bent down and scooped me up into his arms.

  ‘Gabe everyone’s looking.’

  ‘So me fingering you in public’s ok, but carrying you crosses the line?’

  I laughed. The feeling of him holding me so tightly and the sensation of his body pressed against mine was so reassuring. I laid my head against his shoulder and he kissed my hair as he strode through the crowd towards the exit.

  ‘Your place?’ he asked.

  ‘Yes please.’

  ‘Well I know that, you’d better tell me where the hell it is?’ he laughed.

  I gave him my address as he effortlessly hailed a taxi, even with me in his arms. He was like James Bond, better still Daniel Craig’s Bond and I bet he looked every inch as good in his speedos as Daniel did. The city lights raced past us as the taxi cut its way through the streets. My head was resting on Gabe’s shoulder with his arm around me, his hand caressing my shoulder. Blood was coursing through my body and pounding in my ears, I felt like I was in a dream. I was heading home to have sex, actual sex.

  ‘It’d better not be too far,’ he muttered. ‘I’m not sure how much longer I can keep myself from taking you on the spot.’

  I thought I’d feel more nervous, but for some reason I had absolutely no qualms about it now. I couldn’t wait, I was ready physically and emotionally, I wanted him like I’d never wanted any other guy before. Before I knew it we were standing in the cool damp air outside the house. As I put the key in the door he was behind me again, his hands round my waist holding my bare stomach as he licked the back of my neck and sent shivers down my spine. We made it through the door before he pushed me back against the wall and we kissed each other over and over as we both became aroused again.

  ‘Which floor?’

  ‘The top,’ I giggled.

  ‘All the way eh? Theme of the evening,’ and he carried me up to the apartment door without even breaking a sweat.

  I remained in his arms as I fumbled for the key, the enormity of the moment catching up with me. Excitement was coursing through my veins as I pushed the key into the lock and took another deep breath before turning it and pushing the door open. He carried me in and kicked the door shut behind him and gently set me down.

  I smiled, grabbed his hand and led him straight into my bedroom and pushed him back, until he was seated on the edge of the bed, where I straddled him again and locked my lips to his as I ground my pelvis against his denim encased erection. He grabbed my bottom and stood, carrying me on his hips again and walked me backwards against the wall. God that was so hot. As I unleashed my best French kissing on him, he pulled my knickers to one side and slid his fingers into me again, his other hand working the ties on my top loose.

  ‘O god,’ I groaned with pleasure. Ok think confident and sexy, I could do that. I dropped my legs off his hips and detached myself from his probing and turned, backing away slowly towards the bed taking off my top and letting it drop to the floor. He leant back against the wall still gasping from our last kiss, watching my every move. I undid the knot in my hair and shook it loose with my fingers. Pinning it up damp had left more kinks throughout it and it cascaded over my shoulders and breasts. He went to move off the wall towards me and I shook my head and mouthed ‘Stay’ overtaken by a sudden bout of incredible confidence.

  I slid my fingers into the waist band of my skirt, as he’d done, pulling it slowly over my hips and down to the ground. I stood there in my red lace knickers and boots and turned around as I slid my hands under the lace and cupped my buttocks as I bent over. I was presenting him with the sight that had knocked me out the first time I viewed him. He groaned as I slipped the pants over the curves of my bottom and down, I straightened up and lifted each foot in turn to step out of them and turned to face him, clad in just my boots again.

  His eyes were half closed and burned through me. God I needed him now, I needed to get this over with. He kicked off his trainers and socks and I walked to him and grabbed his hands this time and pinned
them above his head with one of mine. As I started to kiss him very gently, I used my free right hand to unbutton his shirt exposing his chest and stomach. I circled each nipple with my tongue and nipped them gently with my teeth which elicited more groaning from him. I ran my hand over his abs and groaned with pleasure myself, he was just perfection. That sexy dip in his hips was just waiting for me, so I released my grip on him and dropped to my knees and ran my tongue down one side and up the other as I unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans and pulled them down to his ankles.

  He stepped out of them and kicked them to the side and I gasped to see his enormous firm erection bobbing in front of my face. I wanted to taste it again, so I grasped it and took it into my mouth, his hips thrust forwards and as I looked up, his eyes were closed, his hands were clutching his hair and his back was arched, even at this angle he looked simply magnificent. He groaned and pushed himself further into my mouth and opened his eyes and looked down to meet mine and I nearly exploded again on the spot to see the look on his face. He leant forwards and gently grasped the sides of my head and tugged in an upwards direction, encouraging me to my feet. He swung me back around again the wall and held my hands up over my head again as he nuzzled my neck, his lips lingering on my skin and seeking out my nipples. His fingers found their way back between my legs, like a heat seeking missile and as my legs trembled after another orgasm, he let go of me and I watched him rummage in his jeans pocket and heard the rustle of foil.

  ‘God Mia I want to fuck you so badly,’ he sighed. I watched as he expertly slid on the condom, it looked so tight on him and made him seem even bigger, would he fit? He moved back to me and his kissing became frantic, his hands were all over me, grasping, stroking and squeezing. Our hips pulled together as if magnetised and the head of his dick stroked my smooth mound. Shit, this was it, this was the moment, no going back now. I braced my back against the wall and widened my feet some more, locking my knees to keep me steady and firm, he guided himself lower with his hand until he was nudging at my entrance. My body began to tremble as he moved in closer and forcefully began to thrust in rhythm with his tongue which sought out my own. As he started to enter me I had to grit my teeth through the initial burst of pain, my muscles were clenching tightly, resisting him, but with each push of his hips he invaded me a little further.
