Releasingher Gabriel sat back on the bed before her, hooking his fingers into the waiststrips of her panties he pulled down the thin material. Gasping in shock Salenetried to cover the trimmed curls with her hand.
"Wait!"She was so embarrassed. "I didn't get a chance to get a wax. I didn'tthink…"
Pullingher hands away Gabriel gave her wicked smile. "No baby, this is exactlythe way I like it."
Grippingher ass, he pulled her close until his face pressed against her hot core,making her pull back in shock.
"Whatdid I say Salene?" Green eyes sliced up to hers in warning.
Mouthdry Salene nodded quickly as she stood still in place, her heart racing as shewaited for his next move. Holding her steady with one hand, Gabriel let hisother hand slide down the back of her leg stopping at her knee. Carefully helifted her knee until he placed it on his shoulder. Dear God, her body couldsense what he was about to do, and she felt like she might collapse.
Thesudden pressure of his hot tongue against her spread folds made her cry out.Clutching his long gold hair in support, Salene cried out again as his tonguelapped at her wet center. In this position, she was halfway sitting on his faceas he devoured her. The scrape of his teeth against her sensitive bud nearlycollapsed her in a scream. Quickly the firm grip of his hands lifted her up andswung her around until she felt herself tumble backward onto the bed.Practically naked besides the open billowing shirt hanging off her arms Salenelooked up with wide eyes to see Gabriel who now had abandoned his shorts crawlover her pushing her legs apart. Salene had no chance to react before he dippedhis head again between her thighs and tasted her for the second time. Histongue relentlessly flicked at the tight bundle of nerves eliciting her moanswith each lap, while his fingers slick from her juices pierced her entrancewarning her body of bigger things to come.
Salenewas losing her mind, the building feeling he was causing was unraveling hersanity. The sounds he was making between her legs made her clutch the sheets indesperation. Taking the traumatized bud one last time between his teeth Saleneshattered beneath him, calling out his name.
"Fuck,"his voice rumbled somewhere above her.
VaguelySalene could feel the bed dip as he reached for something out of thenightstand. Putting the black plastic square between his teeth Gabriel preparedto rip the small package open.
"I'mon the pill," she offered weakly.
Gabriel'swolflike gaze darkened as he tossed the packet somewhere behind him in thedistance. Hot searing flesh met her own as he probed her entrance. Inch byagonizing inch he entered her forcing her tight body to accept his girth. Witheach hand anchored on either side of her head, Gabriel smoothly lowered hislips to hers. The kiss was slow and consuming taking his time as he coaxed outher complete surrender.
Notable to take the slow torture he was inflicting Salene wrapped her hands aroundhis neck. "Please, Gabriel."
Nippingat the sensitive skin below her ear Gabriel thrusted his hips until he wasburied deep within her trembling body. The stinging pain along with theimpossible stretch of her body caused a tear to slide down from the corner ofher eye as if it was her first time all over again. The heavy weight of hisbody pressing her into the bed made her feel so small underneath him.
"MyGod Salene," he growled in a whisper, kissing the trail of her tear."You feel like everything I had imagined."
Pullinghis hips back Gabriel drove back into her with a deep grunt. Clutching at thepowerful muscles in his arms Salene cried out louder with each thrust. Therewas nothing gentle about the man's lovemaking, how his hips slapped againsthers as he pounded into her or how he grabbed one of her legs bringing it uphigher so he could reach deeper inside her body. All Salene could do was holdon while crying out his name as he created a firestorm within her.
Thebuilding feeling he was creating was taking her sanity away, Salene wanted himslow down to stop the mind altering urge he was creating. But seeing the darklook of need on his face Salene could not stop what was about to happen. Withno voice left Salene gripped his shoulders as she cried out her release. With afinal roll of his hips, Gabriel let out a hoarse shout of exultation releasinghot streams of his seed deep within her. Collapsing on top of her Salene barelyregistered the heavy weight of his slick body as she was claimed by thedelirium of exhaustion.
Chapter 23
Thesoft scratching sensation of Gabriel's beard glided along the surface of hercheek as she felt the pressure of his lips against the pulse of her neck.Salene groaned in unison with Gabriel at the insistent chirping of the alarmclock that suddenly interrupted. With one last kiss against her lips, Salenefelt Gabriel get up from the bed.
Secretlyshe opened her eyes just enough to see Gabriel's bare backside as he walkedinto the bathroom. Leaving the bathroom door partially open Salene could hearthe water from the shower start. Seeing her chance Salene carefully pulled backthe covers and tiptoed out of the bedroom, ignoring her incredibly sore body.
Closingthe door to the guest bathroom, Salene started her own morning rituals.Reaching over to the shower faucet Salene turned the nozzle to heat up thewater as she sat on the toilet. Last night was unlike anything she had everexperienced, sex with Gabriel finally gave proper meaning to the term of"mind-blowing sex." Hell, Salene never realized she was just gettingmediocre sex until now. Closing her eyes, she leaned back against the toilet.My God, just thinking of the way he filled and stretched her last night madeher body grow warm again. Stepping into the hot spray Salene smiled as sheleaned tiredly against the wall, later that night sometime after she passed outGabriel woke her again helping her put on her surgical bra she needed to wearat all times.
Itwas moments like that, that was killing her. Rinsing the shampoo from her hairSalene tried to make sense of her thoughts. The way he held her while sheslept, the way he cared for her while she recovered, and so much more to theever-growing list. All of it sent conflicting jolts of happiness and painthrough her heart. On one side she was obviously very happy with every sweetaction. However, it was the doubt eating away at the corners of her mind thatstole the enjoyment from the moment. How can they go from loathing each otherto what they shared last night? Never in her life has she given herselfcompletely to a man like she did with Gabriel. Salene could still vividly rememberthe look in his eyes as he drove into her body as if she was the most beautifulwoman on earth. Clutching at the terrycloth towel, Salene looked up at themirror and sighed. Why did she have to feel so unsure? Surely she was deservingof this type of attention, but a small voice deep within could not help but askhow long would it last?
Lookingat the time of her phone Salene pushed the creeping negative thoughts back.Wrapped in her towel, she went across the hallway towards her old bedroom andinto the closet. Pulling on her underwear Salene was reaching for her blackwork pants when she heard his voice.
"Whatthe hell are you doing?" Gabriel looked at her with angry confusion fromthe closet door.
Hairstill wet, Gabriel stood there in slacks and a still open button-down shirt.Salene resisted the urge to go over and kiss him for two reasons. One he wasnot going to like what she was about to say and two there was no telling withthe man. There was a good chance he would have her naked and on the bed inminutes and Salene just couldn't risk being late.
"I'mgoing to work."
Saleneonly had to wait one second for the predictive reaction.
Cockinghis head to the side Gabriel gave her a look that suggested she lost her mind."The fuck you are Salene, you…"
"Youcan yell and shout all you want," Salene pulled up and buttoned the pantsshe was holding, feeling a little more fortified against his anger now that shewasn't just wearing underwear. "You know I only took a week and a halfoff. I have to go back, I'm the manager."
Shakinghis head Gabriel stepped further into the closet, making it feel ten timessmaller. "No, fuck that," he rebuked everything she said. "Youare still sore, I can't…"
