Mine to Keep (9 page)

“I’m not.” When he was happy that he’d gotten his point across, he started the truck back up.

They drove to Laura and Dean’s house and then onto his house. Together they tucked in the children and spent the rest of the night making out on the couch. Gabriel touched her as much as possible without going past any limits. He wanted the date to end on a high. Gabriel wanted to do more but held himself back. It wasn’t going to be long until he couldn’t keep control over his rampant desire for her.

He hoped she would come to him when she was ready to take the next step.

Mine.

Whenever she was in his arms all he could think about was claiming her. It would take great strength on his part to not go any further.

A week went by, and Amy spent most of it in a state of erotic high. Gabriel always found an excuse to touch her when he passed. He would brush her hair aside and lay kisses against her neck. She found herself slowly losing her mind as she thought of nothing but sex. Every night he would leave her at her door. She would try to find a satisfaction in the release she brought by her hand, but nothing worked.

William phoned several times a week to see how she was, which she was touched by. No one left her heart pounding or made her want as Gabriel did. The gentleman in him was annoying her.

She knew he was preparing her for when he finally took her. The control he showed her by his restraint excited her. Gabriel was a man who knew what he wanted, and she was next on the menu. On Saturday night, she was reading another of Dean’s books. Mia and Billy were in bed, and Gabriel came home late. She knew he was finalising the purchase of the house for William. Most of CapeFalls were in uproar over the changes being made. The tattoo parlour was being decorated already. She’d seen the shop in town the other day. Plenty of town folk had been stood outside muttering. She’d spent the rest of the day smiling.

He walked into the sitting room. She had her feet on the couch.

“Where are Mia and Billy?” he asked.

“In bed. They were tired from school.” She got up and brushed past him. “Are you hungry?”

“Famished.”

She went to the kitchen and pulled out all the ingredients she’d need for an omelette. He stood behind her as she cracked the eggs into a bowl. She chopped up the spring onions, ham, and tomato while he stood moving her hair out of the way. He pushed her hair over one shoulder. She tried to concentrate while he kissed her neck. His hand rested on her stomach. She put the butter in the pan followed by the ingredients. He cupped her breasts, and she stilled as his fingers teased her nipple.

“I missed you.”

Her pussy was slick with arousal. She closed her eyes to gain her composure. When she got control of her body, she stirred the pan and then added the egg. She didn’t dream of telling him to back off. Her body was on fire for him.

He let her go when she put the omelette under the grill. They stared at each other across the room. She knew there was something different about him, an edge to his character that she’d never seen before. She put his food on a plate and sat down with him while he ate. The silence between them was filled with sexual tension. Her body was hot, and she wanted to beg him to make love to her.

While he ate, she got up and went to another room. She picked up her book and took it upstairs to her room. Her body was alive. There was no conversation, and she knew something was going to happen. How could she move the tension forward? What would he do to her body? Her imagination ran wild as she thought of everything she’d dreamt about Gabriel and the pleasure he could give her. Amy walked down the stairs and stopped. Gabriel stood waiting for her. She took the last few steps until she was in front of him. The distance closed between them.

He grabbed her waist and pulled her close.

Amy stared into his eyes. Her heart pounded, her tits ached, and the pulse between her legs was growing. His hands branded her where they were wrapped around her waist. Her legs parted, and he pressed a knee between her thighs. She felt the heat of him pushed up against her.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“Do you want me to stop?”

“No. I like what you’re doing to me. I’ve never felt anything like this before.” Her whole body was on fire and felt like jelly at the same time. He turned her whole world inside out.

Gabriel pulled away, and she moaned at the loss of contact. “I care about you, Amy. I want you to trust me.”

“Out of everyone in my life, you’re the only person I trust.” It was the only thing she knew about herself. The trust she felt for Gabriel went bone deep.

“Your innocence makes me hard every time,” he said.

“I’m not innocent. I’ve had two children, remember?” She smiled at him.

“You’re not an innocent?” He took her hand and pressed it against his crotch. “Do you feel that? That’s what you do to me. I’m hard for you.”

Beneath her hand, his cock felt like stone, and she squeezed the length of him, letting out a gasp as she did. Steven had always made love to her in the dark. She’d never seen his cock or felt it in her palm.

“Can I see you?” she asked. Any fears she might have had melted away at the look of sheer lust on his face.

“I want you to think really hard, Amy. If we cross this line there is no going back for us. I won’t leave you alone. You’ll be my woman.”

You’ll be my woman. She liked the sound of that.

“I couldn’t leave?”

“Never. You’re staying here with me.”

“I’d be your woman. Completely?”

“Yes.”

“I like the sound of that,” she said.

“Take off your clothes.”

Amy went to the buttons of her shirt and slipped each button through the slit. She knew he would have to see a few of her scars eventually, and she’d rather get it over with.

Gabriel closed the door and walked towards her. She couldn’t stop herself from staring at him. This was the first time in her whole life that she wanted to get naked with a man and have sex. Her heart was pounding inside her chest. The wetness pooled in her panties. She wanted him so badly.

She removed her shirt and went to her jeans. Gabriel stood in front of her and pulled his white shirt over his head. His muscles rippled with every movement. She reached out and touched him. He was warm and hard.

“You’re so big,” she said. His chest beneath her hand made her look so small and pale.

“I’m a lot bigger than you.” He pulled her closer, tilted her head back, and kissed her. He plunged his tongue into her mouth, making love to her with his lips. She accepted him, teasing him back with gentle strokes. Gabriel pulled the straps of her bra down her shoulders. Amy moved her hands free and wrapped herself around him.

With easy movements her bra was on the floor, and her jeans pushed down for her to step out of. She wore a pair of white cotton panties and nothing else.

Gabriel released her and took a step back. She crossed her arms over her breasts. He held her hands away, exposing her body.

“You deserve to be in thongs and silks. Would you wear the underwear I buy you?” he asked.

Her nipples budded under his ardent gaze.

“I’d wear everything you bought me,” she said and meant every word.

“Good. Take your panties off.” His voice changed. He no longer asked her but ordered. The thrill that went down her spine shocked her. Staring into his blue eyes, she pushed her panties to the floor and stood out of them. “Go and lie down on the couch,” he said.

She walked to the couch without hesitation. The need to please him filled her body. Amy lay down and watched Gabriel as he removed the last of his clothes. She stared down his body, taking in every line and muscle. He was right. She’d been with a man and had borne two children, but she was an innocent. The only time she’d seen male anatomy like this was in a textbook or the Discovery Channel. Her lips parted on a gasp as her gaze moved down to what lay at the juncture of his thighs.

He was long and thick. The red tip was bulbous, and the slit at the top looked wet. He sat down next to her on the couch. They were both naked in his sitting room, and she’d never felt more alive than she did in that moment.

“Do you want to stop?” he asked.

“Never. I feel something for you, Gabriel. I’m not sure what it is, but I never want to stop.” She tried to explain everything to him. If she could voice all that she was feeling maybe she could make sense of it all.

“Tell me everything, Amy. This is what I want. For you to be open with me.”

Amy nodded and took his hand. She’d read many books and seen stuff in the movies. Nothing she had read or seen was anything like being part of it. Taking a deep breath, she dived into this new world Gabriel had opened up.

“I ache here,” she said, placing his hand on her breast. “It feels so tight and good. I want to feel you touching my breasts.”

“Tell me where else.”

Down her body, she moved his hand. Her tummy quivered with the touch. She went down until his hand covered her pussy. “It aches here. I’m so hot and wet.”

“You want me, baby. This is your body’s way of telling you you want me.” She looked at his hand and watched as he ran two fingers through her slit, her juice coating his fingers where he moved. When he touched her clit, tiny sparks shot out all over her body at the incredible feeling he was creating. “I want to touch you, baby. I want to know what your body likes, and I need you to trust me.”

“Will I like it?” she asked.

“You’ll be screaming for more by the time I’m done.”

She lay down and nodded her head. “Do what you want. I trust you.”

Gabriel moved over her. He lifted her legs to wrap round his waist and pulled her to sit on his lap. “First, I want to explore this mouth. Your lips are so plump and delicious. I want to sink my cock inside your mouth and watch you suck me.”

She cried out at the vision he created inside her mind. “Your cock is so big. Would I be able to fit something that big inside my mouth?” she asked.

“Yes. You’d like that wouldn’t you? To suck my cock.”

“Yes.”

“How does it make you feel?” he asked.

“Excited and frightened. I’ve never done anything like that before.”

“I’ll give you everything you’d ever want. All you have to do is ask, and you can have it,” he said. He pushed her hair off her shoulder, his fingers caressing her skin.

“What do I have to do in return?” she asked. Amy knew her feelings for Gabriel had been growing every day since the moment she met him. The thought of him being with someone else made her feel so much regret and jealousy. Most of her nights since Steven had been taken and locked up had been filled with Gabriel. Over the last few months he’d become more than her saviour. He’d become her best friend and the man she knew she could give her heart to.

She hadn’t told him how she felt for fear he’d laugh at her. What could she give him? She was a single mother with two children and an ex who used to beat her for the fun of it. He didn’t say anything for such a long time. Amy waited and gazed at him. His blue eyes held her captive in his arms. She could never be this open with anyone else. Gabriel made her feel like a woman, a real woman to be desired and loved. He saw the true woman underneath, and for that she would love him forever.

“You’ll be mine to keep for the rest of our lives. That’s what I want, Amy. I want you to be my woman in all things.”

“Why does that sound like a marriage proposal?” she asked as a joke.

“Because it is.”

The smile disappeared off her face. She stared at him, sure that she’d misheard him. “What do you mean?” she asked.

“Surely, marriage to me won’t be so bad.”

“I don’t know what you mean.” Her tummy was doing flip-flops.

He cupped her face in his hands. He stared, seeing down into her very soul. “You’re an amazing woman, and I want you to be my woman. My wife. I haven’t got a ring with me, but I’ll get you one. Will you marry me and make me the happiest man on this planet?”

“Yes.” There was no hesitation. The way he made her feel was more than enough for her to agree to be his wife.

He pulled her down and kissed her with so much passion he took her breath away. She wanted him to wrap his arms around her and never let go. The love she felt for him was more than she could explain. It didn’t matter that he didn’t love her. She had more than enough love for the pair of them.

Gabriel moved down her body, his tongue licking each of her nipples before going to her tummy. He spread her legs open and then buried his face in her pussy.

Amy cried out at the abruptness of the sensation. He was licking her clit. His tongue glided through her flesh and made her want to scream. No one had given her oral sex, and Gabriel was making her burst with the constant pleasure he was creating inside her. He pushed two fingers inside her.

“Fuck, you’re tight.” She blushed and watched his head move up and down her slit, his fingers opening her cunt. She knew her cum would be spilling out of her. She was so turned on by what he was doing.

****

Gabriel tasted her on his tongue, her exquisite flavour filling his mouth. He relished her cries of pleasure as her pussy tightened around his fingers. She would need to climax before he got any chance of fucking her. He sawed his fingers inside her, stretching her cunt to be able to fit his cock inside her.

She gripped his fingers tight, and he circled her clit feeling her release spill over her. His fingers were coated in her cum. He pulled out of her body and licked his digits. Her eyes drooped, and she gave him a small smile. Gabriel wished he could photograph her in that position. She looked perfect to him. He knew he should carry her upstairs to his bedroom, but he couldn’t wait that long to have her.

He settled between her thighs and aligned his cock with her cunt. She glistened in the low light. Reaching between them, he fed his cock into her hungry pussy and watched himself sink inside her glorious heat. She moaned, and when he was halfway inside her, he moved over her. He sealed his lips over hers and thrust his hips, pushing his cock deep inside her hot, hungry cunt. Her nails sank into the flesh of his arms.
