I heard her squeak and call out, "Gabe? What the hell are you doing here?"
I stepped over to the bathroom door and, trying to be a gentleman, put my hand over my eyes.
"You left the party without saying goodbye."
Lexie sighed heavily. "I'm sorry. I should have said something before I left. It was a spur of the moment thing. I had to get out of there."
"Why?" I asked softly. "If it was something I said?—"
"It wasn't," she said quickly. "It wasn't anything you said or did. You were wonderful. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun rubbing elbows with the rich and famous." There was a laugh in her voice.
"Clearly something happened for you to decide you needed to leave," I said.
Just being here in the same room with her, I felt complete. I needed her and I needed to understand what upset her. Whatever it was, I'd make sure it didn't happen again. I wasn't giving up on us without a fight.
"I…" She paused heavily. "I heard your mother tell you she was going to stop you from being CEO because you were there with me," she said. "I didn't want to cause any more trouble. I didn’t want you to have to choose between me and that. I mean, we hardly know each other."
She gave a small laugh. "It seemed easier to get out of the way than create any drama. That would be the kind of thing the tabloids eat up, wouldn't it?"
I opened my fingers slightly and saw her standing in the shower. Wet and naked and gorgeous. Water trickled down her body, making her look like a goddess. My heart pounded in my chest. My cock was immediately hard, pointing right toward her.
"Yes it is," I admitted. "But I don't care about the tabloids. I don't care about what my mother says."
"She seemed determined to take all of that away from you," Lexie said.
"She can try," I said. "But I've just realised something." I lowered my hand down to my side. "I don't care. If I can't take over Ellison Enterprises, I'll start my own environmental protection operation. I have enough money and I know a lot of people. I’d walk away from everything my parents built if it means being with you. You're more important than anything I have in my life. If my mother doesn't like that, that's her problem. I want to be with you.” I hesitated for a moment before I added, "I love you. I've been in love with you for a very long time. You mean more to me than anything else. Everything else."
Fully dressed, I stepped into the shower with her, not caring that my clothes were thoroughly saturated in a matter of moments. I cupped her cheeks and pressed my mouth to hers.
"I don't want to come between you and your family." she said between kisses
"You're not," I said. "My mother will come around, and if she doesn't, that's on her. My brother loves you and my father will too. I'm not prepared to continue living my life by my mother's rules. It's past time I did what made me happy." I slid my hands down her side and cupped her ass.
"Let me show you."
She gave me a long look, her eyes searching my face. For once in my life, I lowered all of my walls, wanting to show everything. I needed her to know I meant every word I said, straight from my heart. That she was my past, present and my future. I'd never give her a reason to doubt me. From now on, I'd put her first before anyone and anything. I wanted to give her the moon, the stars and all the orgasms. Especially the orgasms.
"You make me happy," she said softly. She gripped the front of my tuxedo jacket and slipped it down my arms. The rest of my clothes followed, ending up in a heap in the corner of the shower. “I love you too.”
I didn't even care my expensive Italian loafers were officially trashed. Lexie was worth more than all the loafers.
"Batman socks," she teased.
I glanced down. "Us grumpy billionaires have to stick together." I pressed a hand against the side of the shower and raised my feet to tug my socks off.
She laughed softly and let me scoop her up and wrap her legs around my waist.
The rest of the world disappeared when I slid inside her. Nothing was left but us and our bodies, giving and receiving pleasure while the hot water rained down on us, washing away the last of both our doubts.
From this day on, it would be her and I against the rest of the world.
I held her carefully while she screamed my name, her muscles clenching around my cock. I thrust into her a couple more times before I let go completely. Bliss claimed me like never before, long and hard until I slumped forward, puffing lightly.
"You're like no one I ever met before," I whispered in her ear. "You're everything. Everything and more."
"Funny, I was going to say the same about you," she said. "I think we need to add this to the list."
I leaned back to look at her questioningly.
