“What the hell’s going on, Carmen?”
“Nothing! It’s nothing,” she tells me. “Will you fucking stop?” she says to whoever is with her.
The male voice comes through loud and clear. “Talk about Gabe’s cock one more time. I dare you,” the voice taunts. And I recognize it instantly.
“Carmen! What’s Aldo doing at your apartment?!”
Dead air. I get absolutely nothing but silence.
“Carmen!”
“We’re fucking, okay!? You happy now?”
“Since when?”
“Since the night at the sex club.” She mutters so low I’m barely able to hear her.
My jaw drops, “Seriously? You mean after he tossed you over his shoulder like a rag doll and hauled your ass out of there?”
“Yup,” she says dreamily. “That was so hot. Oh! Oh! And guess what. I can totally suck his cock while standing up!”
“AH! No more!” More girly giggles echo through the phone line. “Okay, in light of this new information, I’m putting girl talk on hold until we’re able to meet face to face. This is too much shit to take in over the phone.”
“True that, babe,” Carmen replies. “Soon, I promise. We’ll have a girl’s night and all the girl talk your little heart desires.”
“Okay, Car. Love you.”
“Love you too, honey. Talk soon.”
After hanging up with Carmen, I climb into Gabriel’s humungous shower and stand under his rain shower head for at least twenty minutes, letting the water sooth me and wash away the remaining aches and stiffness from Gabriel’s attention the night before. After that, I prepare another cup of coffee and take it into the living room. With nothing better to do,—since I didn’t have the slightest clue how to operate his intimidating remote— I skim through his bookshelves until I find something that interests me. Curling up in the plush recliner with my legs tucked under me, I lose myself in one of James Patterson’s books.
That’s how Gabriel finds me a few hours later. “Reading anything good?” he asks as he bends over the back of the recliner to kiss the sensitive spot on my neck.
“Mmhm,” I mumble, too engrossed in Alex Cross at the moment to respond accordingly.
Gabriel’s hand comes into my line of sight, drawing my attention away from the words in front of me. He grabs the book and tosses it onto the coffee table after dog earring the page, and snapping it closed.
“Hey, I was reading that!”
“Come with me, my bella. I have a surprise for you.”
My interest peaked, I take his offered hand and let him pull me from the recliner. “Where are we going?” I ask as Gabriel leads me from his apartment and pushes the button for the elevator.
An arrogant smile tips his lips as he tells me, “You’ll see.” My hand remains clasped in his as the elevator descends to the parking garage. As the doors open his smile spreads even wider, excitement rolling off of him in waves. He’s like a kid on Christmas morning, and I can’t help but giggle as he all but drags me out of the elevator.
“So what do you think?” he asks, finally coming to a stop in front of his parking spot.
“What do I think of what?” I ask, looking from his Mazerati back to him.
He gives a small chuckle before clasping my chin and gently tilting my head to left. “Of that.”
Parked next to his car is a gleaming white Mercedes. There’s no mistaking the car’s make since the massive silver-star emblem takes up a large portion of the cars grill.
“You bought a new car?” I ask in confusion. “It’s nice, baby. But why do you need two cars?”
Stepping behind me, Gabriel wraps his strong arms around my waist and plants a kiss on my temple. “Correction, my bella. I bought you a new car. A CLA 45 AMG. Brand new off the lot, absolute top of the line, nothing but the best, baby. Do you like it?”
My brain can’t compute what he’s just said. Giving my head a shake, I ask, “What?”
“I got you a new car, baby.”
Another confused shake of my head. “I heard you. But…why?”
His arms let go of my waist and his hands turn me to face him. “What do you mean, ‘why?’” he asks with a laugh. “Because you needed one, Marley. You shouldn’t have to depend on your friends or public transportation to get you where you need to go. Especially not when I can afford to buy you one.”
“But I was fine with public transportation, Gabriel.” I argue, not because I don’t love the car…I do. But because I don’t want to be taken care of. I might be working through my issues when it comes to our relationship, but I still want to be able to take care of myself. “I’d have eventually saved enough to get another car. You didn’t need to buy me one.”
His eyes narrow as he crosses his arms over his chest. “You’re being difficult again.”
“I am not!” I demand. “I just don’t want to be…”
“Be what?” he asks when I trail off.
“I don’t want to be…kept. Indebted to you,” I say in a low voice. My eyes move from his to the ground between us.
His shiny black shoes move into my line of view right before I feel his fingers on my chin again, tipping my head up to look at him. “Is that what you think, baby? That I got you a car so I could hold it over you?”
“I’ve never gotten something for nothing.” My voice is low, barely a whisper.
His brows furrow for a second before he straightens his expression and leans in to place a soft kiss on my lips. “You aren’t getting something for nothing, my bella. I’m giving you this car because you gave me you. That’s a fair exchange in my book.”
“Gabriel, it’s too much.” I insist.
“Not for you, it isn’t. You deserve the best of everything.” My eyes sting with tears as I look up at this man, even more in love with him this very second than I was this morning. “Do you need me to fuck the fight out of you on this too, or can we move past it and you thank me for my generous gift by sucking my dick?”
“Gabriel!” I laugh and slap his chest.
“Can’t blame for a guy for trying,” he says as he wraps his arms back around me and kisses me like his life depends on it. When he pulls back, leaving me breathless, he asks, “Now, are you going to accept my gift?”
Letting out a sigh, I look back at the car longingly, already imagining how much fun it would be to drive it. “I can’t park that in my complex. It’s not exactly along the lines of what my neighbors drive. What if someone messes with it? Or tries to steal it?”
He looks up, like he’s considering his options at the same time he takes small steps forward, backing me up until the backs of my thighs hit the hood of the car. “Hmm,” he mutters, planting a kiss on my lips. “You could just stay here.” He leans over me, pressing me down onto the hood.
“I can’t stay here all the time.”
“Why not?” he asks softly as he runs the tip of his tongue up my neck.
“Because I have my own apartment that I pay rent on.”
His hands trail up my waist, stopping at my breast. I can hardly think as he squeezes it and runs his thumb across my nipple, causing it to pull into a tight peak. “Cancel you lease. Move in here with me. I don’t plan on sleeping without you next to me every night anyway.”
“Gabriel,” I breathe out, wrapping my fingers in his hair and pulling his head away from my neck. I need to be able to think and I can’t do that if he’s kissing me. “I can’t do that.”
His hand squeezes my breast harder, sending a dull throb straight to my clit. “Yes you can.” He punctuates his statement with a thrust of his hips between my spread legs, rubbing his hardening cock against my core.
My mouth opens on a gasp at how good he feels moving against me. “Baby,” I plead. “Baby, stop. Stop for a second.”
Gabriel releases a frustrated breath and lifts up, pressing his palms on the hood next to my head. He still has me pinned to the car, but at least he’s listening to me now.
“I can�
��t do that, baby. I need to have my own place.”
“My bella. I want you in my bed, in my home every day. I want to wake up and find you having coffee in my kitchen. I want to be able to touch you or fuck you whenever I want.”
He’s making it so hard for me to deny him right now, but I have to hold my ground. “Please understand, Gabriel. I’m just not ready yet.”
He shift back a little further, a storm brewing in his expression. “You aren’t ready to be with me?”
“No! No. That’s not what I mean,” I sputter quickly as I reach up to cup his face. I can feel the stubble rub against my palms. He hasn’t shaved, and I love how rough it feels on my skin. “I want to be with you. I am with you, I promise. I’m not going to fight you on that anymore.”
A little of the apprehension fades from his face, but I can still see that he’s unsure. And I feel awful that I’ve caused that. Because I’ve been trying to keep my walls up where Gabriel’s concerned, he isn’t able to fully trust my sincerity when I try to reassure him that I’m in this with him. I can’t fault him for that, I can only try to earn that trust.
“I just need to keep my open place for now. I want to be with you all the time too, but I need to know I have somewhere to go that’s just mine. I need that security. At least for now. It has nothing to do with you, I just need it. I’ve been on my own for a long time now. I’ve never had to consider anyone else before, and it’s going to take some getting used to. Please understand.”
As I say it, I realize that this is probably the most honest thing I’ve ever said. With everything in me, I want to be able to work through my issues so that I can give Gabriel everything he wants from me.
“I understand, baby.” I breathe a sigh of relief. “But I meant what I said. I get needing to have some time to yourself, and I’ll give it to you. But your nights are mine. Whether we’re at your place or mine, you will be beside me every night. That’s non-negotiable.”
A big smile spreads across my face. “I can do that.”
He smiles back at me. “And don’t worry about the car. There’s a GPS locater, so if it’s stolen we’ll find it. And if it gets fucked up, I’ll pay to have it fixed. And arguing with me on that is pointless. I’ll just fuck the fight out of you again.”
“Okay.”
“Okay? You aren’t going to be difficult?”
I shake my head and let out a little giggle at the look of disappointment on his face. “No, I’m not going to be difficult.”
His eyes narrow as he studies me. “Well if you aren’t going to let me fuck the fight out of you, then I guess I’ll have to settle for fucking you on your new car.”
He leans back down but I quickly slip down the hood and from under him. “Oh, hell no! I just got this baby. I’m not going to let you scratch it up already!”
A deep growl resonates from his chest as he stalks after me. “Upstairs. Now,” he demands, making me grow even wetter. God, I want him. I always want him. I turn on my heels and jab the button for the elevator impatiently. I want Gabriel inside me as much as he does. When the elevator comes, I jump in, watching as he swipes the card to allow us up to the penthouse. The entire ride up, we’re quiet, staring at each other with twin expressions of lust and desire. My chest heaves with each rabid breath, the rise and fall of his mirroring my own.
“When those doors open, you have to the count of ten to get naked and spread out on my bed.”
As soon as he says that, the elevator dings and the doors slide open. “One…”
I bolt through the doors, whipping my shirt over my head and dropping it in the foyer as I race toward the bedroom. I can hear him counting behind me with every step I take. I’ve managed to strip naked and throw myself on the bed just as he steps in the room behind me.
“Ten. On your back, my bella. Legs open wide. Let me see how wet your pussy is for me.”
My legs fall open on command, and I watch as Gabriel walks to the foot of the bed. He keeps his eyes trained between my legs as he slowly strips out of his clothes. The sight of his magnificent body makes me even hotter for him. Shirt and pants off, his tight boxer briefs do nothing to hide his growing arousal. He hooks his thumbs in the waistband and slides them down, revealing his rock hard cock to me.
My tongue darts out and licks my lips as he reaches down and grabs hold of his dick. Watching him stroke himself turns me on like nothing else, and I’m dying to taste him.
“You want my cock in your mouth, don’t you baby?” He jerks on it harder than I would have though comfortable, making me whimper with need as I nod my head. “Say it, Marley. Say you want to suck my cock.”
“I want to suck your cock. Please, baby.”
He smiles wickedly and releases himself. “Good girl. Get on your hands and knees. Give me that greedy mouth.”
Faster than I’ve ever moved before, I’m on all fours, crawling to the foot of the bed. Gabriel wraps his one hand in my hair as he uses the other to guide himself to my lips. Never in my life have I wanted a man in my mouth the way I want Gabriel. I’m desperate for it—starved.
I stick my tongue out and lick the bead of pre-cum from the head. The hissing sound he makes only eggs me on. I bat his hand away and grab the base of his cock as my lips wrap around the head of him. Slowly, testing how far I can go, I slide down until my lips meet my fist before dragging back up, very lightly scraping my teeth along his shaft. “Ah, fuck, baby. Watching your lips stretch around me is the hottest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.”
I think I could come just from the erotic words he’s saying and the noises he’s making. I pump him with my fist at the same time I glide up and down, hollowing my cheeks with every stroke up. I do this over and over, adding a little flick of my tongue when I reach the sensitive spot right under the head. Drops of pre-cum spill into my mouth, making his shaft even slicker and easier for my mouth to slide up and down on.
“Move your hand baby. I want you to take all of me.”
Gabriel is anything but average. With anyone else I’d be hesitant, but I want to please him. I want to give him what he’s asking for. I remove my hand way from his cock and breathe deeply through my nose. Relaxing my throat as I slide further and further.
“Oh, fuck. That’s it, baby. Just like that.”
My eyes dart up to his face. His head is thrown back in ecstasy, and knowing I’m able to do this to him turns me on even more. I moan as I slide all the way down, taking him to the back of my throat before pulling all the way back. I do this again and again, letting my mouth adjust to his thickness. I reach up and cup his balls, squeezing as I fuck him with my mouth. Sharp stings of pleasure dart straight to my throbbing clit when Gabriel tangles his fingers into my hair and pulls. He’s losing control. His balls tighten and he begins pumping his hips into my mouth. Each time I take him all the way, until I can feel the head of his cock in the back of my throat. His breathing accelerates and his thrusts become quick inconsistent jerks, each one punctuated with a guttural groan.
“Awe shit!” he releases my hair at the same time he swells even thicker in my mouth, his balls drawing up further. “I need to come, my bella.”
I feel him move to pull away from me and panic at the thought of losing him. Grabbing hold of his muscular ass, I dig my nails in and hold on for dear life, taking him all the way just as he explodes down my throat. A shout and a string of curse words fall from his lips, followed closely by my name as I swallow ever spurt of come, sucking him until there’s nothing left. I don’t release him until his cock begins to soften.
Resting back on my haunches, I run my finger across my bottom lip, capturing what spilled out of my mouth. Looking up at him with glazed over eyes, I suck my finger into my mouth, savoring the last salty taste that is all Gabriel.
His eyes turn hungry as he watches, a predatory gleam in them. “My turn,” he tells me as the mattress dips under his weight. “I’m gonna eat your cunt until you’re begging me to stop.”
At this point, I don’t
think I’ll ever beg him to stop.
“Mmm, that was quite a ‘thank you’ last night, baby.” Gabriel says as he kisses his way down my jaw to my neck. “Think I need to start buying you more stuff if that’s what I get in return.”
A giggle escapes me as I run my hands through his unruly hair. He’s right though. Last night had been amazing. Gabriel had given me everything I needed, and I made sure I returned the favor every single time. I’d actually lost track of how many times he sent me over the edge before my exhausted, perfectly spent body passed out. I woke up this morning to him hovering over me, pinning me to the bed as he kissed me.
“You buy me anything else and you’ll regret it,” I’m trying for serious, but the moan that comes from the back of my throat as he sucks my ear lobe between his lips and gently bites probably defeats the purpose.
“Please do, my bella. You know how much I love it when you fight with me.” He isn’t lying. Arguing with him seems to only arouse him. While it’s extremely irritating, I can’t deny that seeing the heat in his eyes as we fight does something to me as well.
I let out another giggle. Gabriel’s face is still in the crook of my neck when I remember something I want to talk to him about. Grabbing hold of his hair, I pull slightly, lifting his head so we’re face to face. “Hey, I have to tell you something.”
His glassy eyes clear a little as he looks down at me. “Everything okay?”
I give a little shrug and bite my bottom lip. “Yeah, everything’s fine. I was just talking to Carmen yesterday while you were gone and…well…Aldo was there. They’ve been sleeping together ever since that night at the club.”
His expression remains blank for a few seconds before he breathes a sigh of relief. “Is that it? You had me worried there for a second,” he states with a laugh. “I already knew about Carmen and Aldo.”
He lowers his mouth and goes for my neck again, but I jerk his hair. “What do you mean, you already knew? He told you?”
“No, he didn’t tell me. I just know Aldo. I saw the way he looked at her when we were in Fletchers. Didn’t take a genius to figure out he’d make a move. Carmen is loud and cusses like it’s an art form. Definitely his type of chick.”
