“Someone like me?”
“You have an athlete’s physique with your muscular arms, washboard abs, and not an ounce of fat on you.”
“I’m not that built,” I protested.
The corners of Gaby’s lips quirked up. “Don’t tell me you’re actually being humble right now?”
“I’m serious. I’m really not.”
“Whatever. The point is you’ve never been fat and had to deal with other people’s opinions on how you look.”
“You mean guys’ opinions.”
“Exactly.”
“I didn’t realize you had dated someone with vision problems.”
“Huh?”
“I’m talking about the jackass who gave you grief about your body? Yeah, he must’ve been blind.”
A laugh bubbled from Gaby’s lips. “That has to be the corniest line I’ve ever heard.”
I grinned at her. “Hey, it made you laugh, didn’t it?”
“True.”
“Regardless of the line, I was serious about whoever did a number on your self-esteem to make you doubt yourself.”
She sighed. “I wish it was as easy to tune the voices out, but it’s not.”
I eased down beside her on the mattress. “Babe, you have a fabulous body.”
As she nibbled on her bottom lip, it seemed she was having a hard time putting her thoughts into words. “Hearing you say the words are nice, but it’s just I still see myself like I was when I was heavier. And there’s stretch marks…” She swallowed hard before shaking her head. “Jesus, this has to besucha mood killer for you. I mean, let’s just let my insecurity flag fly high.”
“I don’t care about you freaking out.”
With a roll of her dark eyes, she replied, “Sure, you don’t.”
“I’m serious. What I do care about is you feeling bad about yourself.”
“Can we just change the subject?” she questioned softly.
“Fine. If you won’t take my word for it, I guess I’ll have to show you how I feel.”
“What do you mean?”
I held up a finger before rising up off the mattress. I once again went to retrieve my wallet. While I didn’t want Gaby to know I’d replenished my condom supply because I had hoped for a post-wedding hookup, I was glad I had come prepared. I planned to use most of the box on her if she would let me.
When I returned with a condom, Gaby’s brows popped. “Noah, what are—”
“Trust me,” I replied to Gaby’s panicked expression. After tossing the gold foil wrapper on the bed, I turned my attention back to her. My fingers gripped the edge of the pillow that she covered herself with. Slowly, I began to pull it away from her. At first, I faced a little resistance, but then under my heated, appreciative gaze, she let me take it away.
After tossing the pillow to the floor, my gaze swept over her naked body. She surprised me by not clamping her thighs together. Instead, she remained with them parted, giving me an epic view of her pussy.
Taking in the sight of her full, round breasts, I drew in a breath. “Those are fucking stunning, and I loved every second that I had my hands and mouth on them.”
“Really?” Gaby questioned softly.
