‘So what are you going to do about this Adam situation?’
‘Not a lot I can do, but if I see him again and he acts the same I think I need to get some advice as to what I can do, I just have a really bad feeling about him.’
‘You don’t think that …’ She was interrupted by a knock at the door and Gabe stuck his head around.
‘What are you two talking about? You’ve been in here over an hour.’
‘Shit, really?’ I asked and looked at the clock and realised he was right, it was coming up to eight-thirty. ‘Sorry, we got carried away catching up. You ok?’
‘Feeling a bit tired actually. I think the swimming has done me in. Do you mind if we have an early night? I need some sleep.’
‘But it’s not even nine,’ I looked at him surprised and Lexi got up.
‘I’ll leave you both to it. Lovely to have you back.’ She hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. ‘Even you,’ she said as she passed Gabe in the doorway and punched his good arm, then did a whipping motion behind his back as she raised her eyebrows at me. She was right, it was like he was scared of letting me out of his sight for too long, even in my own home with my best friend. I decided to let it go, it had been a heavy weekend already, but this really had to stop once we got home from our trip.
‘Thanks, Lex,’ he called as he closed the door behind her. ‘You better get undressed baby. I hope you’re ready for me.’ I saw the twinkle in his eye and looked down and saw the bulge in his jeans.
‘I thought you were tired?’
‘That was just an excuse to get you alone. You’d have chatted all bloody night and I’ve plans for you.’ He pulled his shirt out of his jeans and pulled it over his head, leaving me salivating at his ripped body, that lovely grove on display accentuated by his sharply defined abs. Damn him, he knew he could make me forget my own name when sex with him was on offer, he knew exactly how to keep me distracted from what was really going on with him. I moistened my lips as I saw his jeans flexing and he grinned as he saw me looking.
‘Are you just going to sit watching, or are you going to join me in removing some of your clothes?’ he asked. I quickly kicked off my trainers and ripped my jumper off making him laugh and then he made a low growling noise as he spotted the bra I had on, with my stiff nipples poking through the black material. ‘I get to take that off tonight,’ he growled. I shivered, the way he was looking at me was so carnal, I sat in my jeans and bra and watched him unbutton his and peel them apart and felt all my clit throb as I looked at his crotch encased in a pair of tight red Ralph Lauren Polo stretch trunks.
‘You look so good in red.’
‘You look so good in nothing, why are those jeans not off?’ He walked over and grabbed them by the top band and yanked me up and started undoing them for me as I went all lightheaded and giddy looking up at him. ‘What’s the matter baby?’ he asked as he crouched down and pulled them and wiggled them down to my ankles.
‘You. You’re just so … hot,’ I sighed as I looked down at him and ran my fingers through his hair. He laughed and lifted one foot at a time pulling my jeans off completely and then sat back on his heels and looked up at me before pulling me closer and laying a trail of kisses along my stomach and the edge of my knickers and then ran his tongue around the edge of my tattoo and I sighed and held his head.
‘I meant to tell you that I was happy to see you’d put my belly bar in on Friday, but I was sort of distracted with other things.’
‘It’s beautiful Gabe, I love it,’ I smiled. He stood up quickly and pulled me into him, tipped my head back and kissed me deeply, opening my mouth with his tongue, exploring and groaning. His arms tightened around me as he felt me sag against him. How could he stay so upright, when I went to jelly? He lowered me down onto the bed, our lips still attached and lay down on top of me and rolled, taking me with him, until I was lying on his front. I pushed my hands up into his hair as one of his hands slid down the back of my knickers to cup my buttock and the other ran up my spine and held the nape of my neck, his thumb caressing it slowly. I moaned and flexed my hips pressing into his and his rock solid cock and he stopped kissing me.
‘What’s the rush baby? I told you we were going to do this slowly.’
‘You’re making me giddy. Giddy and wet,’ I sighed. He just smiled softly at me and rolled me onto my side and started kissing me gently again. His hands slowly skimming my every curve, delighting in the texture of my skin. He’d stop me as I tried to touch him and I gave up, closed my eyes and let myself enjoy his attentions, it seemed to please him as much as it did me. I softly cried out his name as his lips moved across my body, worshipping me, as he took off my underwear and spent an hour making me climax over and again, begging me to let him have my pleasure each time I thought I couldn’t let go again.
‘Look at me baby, watch as I fill you,’ he whispered. I opened my eyes, best I could, feeling exhausted. I parted my lips as I took in his blond tousled hair, flushed cheeks, stunning eyes, that bone structure and those lips…those perfect lips. I felt tears flow over the damn of my lower lids. ‘Baby what’s wrong?’ he kissed the tears as they rolled down my cheekbones.
‘You’re so gorgeous and you’re so selfless in bed, always looking after me. I love you, Gabe.’ He smoothed my fringe back with his fingers and carefully sank himself into me and I arched up to meet him, feeling butterflies in my stomach to see the way he looked down at me so tenderly. He started to move inside me, slowly and steadily and I matched his rhythm with my pelvis.
‘Give me your hands,’ he whispered. I reached up and placed them top side down and he palmed them and slid his fingers between mine and we closed them around each other’s tightly as he kissed me again. He continued to move in and out of me, circling occasionally and all I could hear was our breathing as I lost myself in his eyes.
‘Gabe,’ I moaned and let out small gasps of pleasure.
‘Mia.’ He moved a little faster and I could feel the perspiration on both of us, helping our skin glide against each other’s, I was hot, so hot and even after an hours’ worth of orgasms already, my body was still aching for him. A deep gnawing ache that I’d never felt before. Every fibre of my being was in love with him and it felt so overwhelming, my body started its preparation to climax.
‘Gabe,’ I whispered. ‘Gabe, I love you.’
‘O God Mia, look at me like that and say it again,’ he begged as he circled his hips caressing every inch of my insides.
‘I love you. I love you, Gabriel,’ I whispered. He closed his eyes and made a painful groan, reopened them and looked back at me.
‘You mean it, you really mean it, I can see it in your eyes and I can feel it in your body.’
‘Of course I … mean it. I … love you.’ I tipped my head back and closed my eyes as I felt my cheeks burning, the familiar tingling in my head, down my spine and in my core, as my clit sunk back in readiness for me to come.
‘Mia … God … Mia, look …look at me … please look at me,’ he pleaded. I opened my eyes and my mouth spasmed as my back arched, his pupils were wide and his face contorted, but he kept his eyes on me as I climaxed and shook below him. It was slow and gentle, but the tremors ran on for ages as I whimpered and squeaked. I felt him push deep and saw his face relax as he flooded me still looking into my eyes. He lay still above me, breathing heavily, his fingers tight on mine and smiled as a couple of tears rolled down his face.
‘Gabe, are you ok?’ I whispered.
‘I’m great, better than great, That was amazing.’
‘You’re crying.’
‘So only woman are allowed to cry when they have an emotional experience?’ he said gently.
‘No, I love that you’re in tune with your emotions, it’s just you don’t often cry when we have sex. Not like me.’
‘We fuck a lot Mia. We fuck and I adore fucking you, but that’s also partly about us getting off. That wasn’t fucking. That was … it was so …’
‘Ama
zing,’ I agreed.
‘Yes. My stomach knotted when you looked at me and said “I love you, Gabriel” it’s like I felt it to my core this time.’
‘So you believe me? It’s not that I don’t love you enough Gabe, I promise you it’s not you.’
‘I believe you, Mia.’
‘You do?’
‘I do, I promise I do.’ He leaned down and kissed me, let go of my hands and slid his under my neck and the small of my back and rolled onto his left hand side taking me with him. We just lay looking at each other, planting the occasional kiss on each other’s lips until I giggled.
‘What?’ he asked looking surprised.
‘I’m so happy,’ I sighed.
‘Really?’
‘Yes. It’s like all the crap of the last month and a bit’s behind us and you seem more relaxed and happy and we’re going away and we can be normal again.’
He rubbed his nose on mine and kissed me. ‘I don’t think on any scale we’d ever be considered normal Mia, but I know what you mean. We can start going out again, running together, holding each other and having sex with me on top. I’m happy too baby.’
‘I’m also tired and exhausted too. How are you not tired from doing all that work?’
‘It’s not work making you come Mia, it’s amazing, I love doing it. Come on, you need to sleep. You’ve a long day of lectures tomorrow.’
‘Thank you.’
‘For what?’
‘All my orgasms today, I’ve had many.’
‘I love giving them to you baby, I told you if ever you need one you only have to ask, I don’t mind giving you some with nothing else in it for me.’ He kissed me again and I could feel my eyes closing, I was so exhausted, very happily exhausted. ‘Come on baby, sleep. You can have a good eight hours uninterrupted, enjoy it.’
‘But I need to brush my teeth.’
‘It won’t kill you to miss one night. Sleep for me baby, you need it.’
‘Hmmm.’ I agreed as I felt my eyes closing and a soft kiss on my forehead.
Monday
I woke up and it took me a while to realise where I was, I hardly recognised my own room as it had been so long since I’d woken up here. I lay on my side facing him, his arm draped over my waist and I smiled to see how close I finally was to him, not having rolled away in the night, and also to see he was still asleep. When we first met it was always him awake first, but he said he slept better with me and it looked as if it were true. It seemed only minutes since I’d fallen asleep last night, but when I looked at my clock it was already ten to eight. I needed to get up and ready, so I lightly kissed his forehead and he made a cute little noise of contentment and I wriggled out from under his arm giving him big boy the panda who he clutched and kissed which made me chuckle.
I grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom for a quick shower and got ready in my jeans and ballet wrap top and pulled my hair into a high top knot then put on some concealer under my eyes. Despite a good night’s sleep I still looked tired and wondered if I’d ever get rid of these dark circles that had appeared. I headed into the kitchen and found Lexi already up drinking her coffee.
‘Morning,’ I grinned as I went to make myself one.
‘Morning. God it’s nice to say that to you again.’
‘I know. We’ll have to knock on each other’s doors when I move over the landing.’
‘What were you two up to last night? You sounded very happy, for a very long time.’
‘I was, extended foreplay.’ I grinned at her and she stuck her tongue out. ‘Still not wow for you?’
‘Sssshhhh, he’s next door and like anyone wants to try and compete with you two going at it in the room next door.’
‘God, can you really hear that much?’ I exclaimed as I sipped my coffee.
‘Ermmm, YES.’
‘You’ll be pleased to know we’re having next door sound proofed as much as possible then.’
‘Thank God. When are you moving in?’
‘Gabe is hoping by New Year’s Eve. He wants to have a party to celebrate so we’d better start making some friends or it’ll just be the four of us and Milo.’
‘Awkward,’ Lexi grimaced.
‘O don’t you start as well,’ I replied with a roll of my eyes.
‘Mia, he was asking me every five minutes how you were doing while you were off.’
‘He’s a friend. A concerned friend that’s all.’
‘Yeah right, and I’m the Virgin Mary. I’m going to go and load my books up, you’d better get a shift on.’
I drained my coffee and grabbed my Uni bag, pleased I’d packed it last night. I went back in the bedroom and found Gabe missing so stuck my head in through the bathroom door and sighed to see him in the shower with soapy water pouring down his sculpted shoulder blades. He was trying to wash his hair one armed and I wished I’d more time to get in there and offer to help him out and take advantage of his naked state.
‘Gabe.’
‘Shit Mia, you startled me,’ he said as he jumped and turned around.
‘Nice view,’ I grinned, as I looked at his morning erection.
‘Are you telling me you’re still not satisfied after yesterday’s orgasmathon?’
‘I was incredibly satisfied yesterday, today is another day.’
‘You could join me now,’ he gave me one of his amazing smiles that just slayed me.
‘O God don’t do that, you know what it does to me. I can’t, I’ve got to go, Lexi’s waiting. Good luck this morning, let me know how it goes and I’ll see you later.’
‘You’re not going anywhere without kissing me first, Mia.’
‘You’re all wet and soapy.’
He flicked me with water making me scream. ‘I’ll drag you in here and make you wetter if you don’t kiss me.’
‘That sounds more like a promise than a threat, you like me wet.’ I gave him a smile and a wink.
‘Mia Page, you’ve sex on the brain.’
‘Mia, we need to go,’ yelled Lexi from outside my bedroom door.
‘Quick then and don’t wet me.’ I stood behind the glass partition and stuck my head around and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
‘That was it?’ he looked at me incredulously.
‘Yes, I’ve places to be and things to do. I wasn’t put on this earth just to please you, Gabe Austin. See you later.’ I blew him a kiss and left before he’d a chance to moan and Lexi and I ran down for the bus.
I sent him a text from History.
Hey sexy. I’m finding it hard to concentrate when images of you naked, soapy, wet and ripped in that shower keep interrupting my study process. Good luck this morning, let me know how it goes. Love you M xx
I found the lecture interesting, now I’d caught up it was easier to follow and I was averaging sixty-eight percent in my assignments, which was a lot better than Lexi who was only averaging the mid forties. I was pleased we’d agreed a new study regime together, I knew I could definitely do better though and I was going to have to pull her up with me. I felt my phone buzz and saw it was already mid-day and it was Gabe.
Hi baby. I love that you’ve images of me like that. Maybe tomorrow morning we can do that together :-) Had to go shopping, other than alcohol, bread, butter and milk you had nothing in. Doing a Thai green chicken curry for dinner for us all. Going for a run then a rest this afternoon, in case I don’t reply. Enjoy Jenkins lecture ;-) Can’t wait for Thursday <3 you too G xxx
I frowned when I noticed he’d not answered my question about his swimming therapy. When we left the lecture I found Milo waiting outside and Lexi tutted at me under her breath and headed off to the cafeteria.
‘Hey Mia, how was your weekend?’ he asked kissing me on the cheek.
‘Amazing, thanks. Yours? Did you go home and see Jenny?’
‘Yes, we had a great time.’
‘I’m heading to the cafeteria if you want to join Lexi and I for something to eat?’
‘Sure, I was goi
ng to ask if you wanted to catch up over lunch, so that works out great. We still on for Thursday?’
‘No, sorry, Gabe’s taking me away Thursday morning. A sort of thank you for looking after him.’
‘How’s he doing?’
‘Much better. He’s just got back into the pool yesterday to try swimming again, though I’m worried how it’s going to affect him if he can’t make the team again.’
‘It’s that big a deal to him?’
‘Gabe?’ I looked at Milo with raised brows. ‘Christ, yes. He has to be the best at everything he does. He hates not winning.’
‘Is there anything else he can do if he can’t swim again?’
‘He’s a good long distance runner, but I’m not sure if that’ll be enough for him.’
‘Let’s hope it is. Are they still no closer to finding out how it happened?’
‘No,’ I sighed. ‘They’ve had to close the investigation and put it down to an accident, someone panicking and driving off, but there’s this guy that I pissed off one night by refusing his advances and I’m worried that maybe he has something to do with it.’
‘You think it was deliberate?’ he looked at me stunned.
‘I don’t know,’ I said as I shuddered recalling the look on Adam’s face as he’d hissed at me. ‘Let’s talk about something nicer, what are your plans for Christmas break?’
‘I’ll probably go home and come back the weekend after Christmas. You?’
‘I’m staying here, my parents are going away. We’re thinking of having a New Year’s party if you’d be interested? A bring your own booze sort of thing and we’d put on some food.’
‘Sounds great. Cheaper than the pubs or clubs.’
‘Would any of your friends be interested? Lexi and I haven’t really been all that sociable and hardly know anyone.’
‘Well I can guarantee five of my male friends, though you may need to spend the evening fighting them off. They all fancy you with the exception of Dan who has the hots for Lexi something chronic.’
‘Then you better warn them I’m spoken for and he’s the jealous type,’ I laughed. ‘And Lexi is actually dating too.’
