“Good,” I said, and caught her hand again. My heart swelled with love for her, and when she leaned in, I pressed a tender kiss against her forehead while keeping my eyes on the road.
The promise of our life together danced in the air between us, sweet and intoxicating.
I exhaled, steeling myself for the challenges ahead.
But no matter what came our way, I’d go to any lengths to protect those I loved.
CHAPTERFIFTY-ONE
When we finally got everyone settled, Gabe led me to our room and immediately buried me beneath him on the bed.
His lips pressed against mine, forcefully, demanding entrance.
I surrendered willingly, tangled my hands in his hair and pulled him closer.
But right before he lost his balance and I could feel his full weight, he lay down beside me, grabbed my hips, and pulled me on top of him and thrust up between my thighs.
I panted. “More.”
The burning fire he ignited within me was a living, breathing thing.
And then I remembered his promise. Hesitancy doused some of that flaming fire.
He immediately froze. “What’s wrong? Is it the baby?”
I stared down at him. “No, the baby is fine.”
“Then what is it? You hesitated.”
“I’m just… What exactly did you mean when you said complete trust?”
He smiled. Then pushed me aside, got up, and pulled me upright, as well.
“Let me show you,” he whispered in my ear, then bit my earlobe.
Hard.
I groaned.
He marched me to the closet—the one with the secret door—and opened it.
My breath hitched.
My thoughts drifted back to when Gabe had led me through the secret door in the closet, months ago.
When I thought for sure he would die. “Tell me how to activate it.”
“The hanger on the right?” Gabe murmured against my ear, his breath hot and heavy. “Turn it up 45 degrees, and the door unlocks.” He showed me, and the door slid open.
“Where are you taking me?”
He pushed me forward. “Now that, Stellina, is part of the trust thing.”
His words sent shivers down my spine, an odd mixture of excitement and fear coiling in my belly.
He led me through the safe room.
Where was he taking me? And why couldn’t we just have sex in our bedroom?
