He took that a sign to continue and as he slowly pushed me onto my back, I realized what a hypocrite I was. While he was putting my needs ahead of everything else, I wasn’t doing the same for him. I wasn’t here for a trip down memory lane. He was in danger which was the entire reason I had flown all the way over here.
His body lowered closer to mine and he hiked one of my legs against him, but before Gabriel could press his lips to mine, I pushed at his chest.
“Wait. We need to talk.”
He nipped at my bottom lip, then raised his head.
“We can talk later.”
He then buried his head in my neck and his warm breath made me shiver. Men never liked hearing those words, especially this one, but I had to get through to him.
“No, we need to talk now,” I told him, but moaned as his teeth sank into the throbbing pulse point of my neck. He suckled on my skin which sent goosebumps racing from my wrists to my shoulders.
As he nibbled on my neck, he slipped one hand between my thighs. When he began rubbing my clit with the pad of his thumb, all words were momentarily forgotten. I arched upward wanting to feel him inside of me. Gabriel didn’t make me wait as he inserted two fingers into my core. I was so wet that those long digits moved easily inside of me. He rubbed my inner walls, then curved the tips so he could reach the one spot guaranteed to make me detonate.
“Wait,” I cried out as they reached their mark. As his fingers moved, the pleasure only built higher. My toes were practically curled, and as good as it all felt, and as much as I needed a release, I couldn’t go on.
Gabriel’s fingers began moving even more urgently and my mouth fell open in a silent cry. He was weakening and distracting me, but I had to remain strong. I tried to squirm, but it only brought up memories of someone else.
God, I couldn’t think about him when with Gabriel. As hard as I tried not to before, I was failing all the same now. His warm mouth was inches from mine and as he kissed along my chin and jaw, a whimper escaped. I was about to come, and there was no way to stop myself.
I tried valiantly by squeezing my thighs together, but he was strong enough to keep them parted so he could continue his ministrations. My entire body trembled, and once or twice, I even flinched as I tried to stave off the impending climax. I had dreamed of being back in bed with Gabriel Blake, but now I had to stop him before I could get off.
Panic similar to that I’d experienced before welled up inside of me. As he nibbled along my jaw and added a third finger inside, I did the only thing I could do. I started to push at his chest and shoulders while wildly trying to buck him off of me. Unlike with another, Gabriel actually sensed my alarm and within seconds, he was away from me, yet beside me. I was breathing heavily, nearly hyperventilating. Tears stung my eye lids, then burned as they trailed down my cheeks.
“What the hell, Harper?”
He was confused as I knew he would be. He had no idea of the struggle I had when we’d been separated. He didn’t know of the boogeyman under my bed and in my closet, one who would tie me to the headboard and violate me night after night. And, he never could. I scrambled upright and picked up his shirt. Before I could put it on, he grabbed my hand that was holding it.
“You said you needed me. Is this some sick game of yours?”
Gabriel was upset, and despite the progress the last several minutes had made, he was now staring at me with a look of disgust. I’d led him on, then rejected him when he acted upon the very things I was begging for. I scrubbed my hands down my face, expelling a few errant tears stuck on my cheeks.
“I really need to talk to you,” I finally told him.
He stood up and I could see how hard he was. What I wouldn’t give to lower his sweats and relieve the ache he had to be feeling. I might even still could, but not before I did what I came here to do.
“I don’t want to talk,” he replied, then stalked away from me as he headed toward the kitchen.
I scrambled onto my feet and dropped the T-shirt as I followed behind him. I caught up to his long strides, then found myself quickly pinned between him and the wall. “Gabriel, I came here to—”
I didn’t get a chance to get anything else out because he fused his mouth to mine. There was no gentleness to the kiss like earlier. This one was angry and punishing, but I loved it much the same.
Deciding that maybe I could wait a few more minutes, I surrendered. The moment he realized it, he growled against my lips. The vibration sent a shiver racing down my spine. I heard a noise to my left, but I paid it no mind. It was only when I heard the sound of tearing foiling that I realized what it had been.
There was a drawer where he obviously kept condoms, and he’d been able to get one out with even pausing the kiss. He was so adept at doing this which I knew came with experience. I didn’t want to think about my soul mate with another woman, but it was easier said than done.
I closed my eyes and the photographs of him with all these other women came rushing back. I let out a small sob which was swallowed completely by his talented mouth. In those society pictures, he’d hold them close, and in a few, I remember him leaning in as if whispering something into their ear. In others, he would be staring at them with a similar look to the one he gave me earlier.
Hunger... desperation... pure unadulterated desire... To have someone look at me with lustful eyes instead of evil ones...
I squeezed my lids shut even tighter, but didn’t resist when he lifted me off of the floor. As soon as I wrapped my legs around him, he slammed into me. His mouth left mine simultaneously and my keening cry made him chuckle.
“You don’t like it gentle, do you?” I wanted to argue otherwise, but as he drove even harder into me, I would be lying.
“No,” I admitted, even though it was something I dreamed about all the time when it came to him.
“Do you like it rough, Harper?” His question should’ve made me shake my head, but I couldn’t. At least not yet. When he spoke again, my eyes flew open. “Your self-made lover probably fucked you hard every night.”
