Page 25 of Gabe's Obsession
"Nina, you are not that naive. Mason likes to keep things close to the vest, but even I know that you are worth a substantial amount of money. And none of your brothers would disagree with me on this. Your assets have to be protected fromanyone."
For a second she had no idea what the hell he referred to before the rest of her brain kicked in. Her father's dirty money...
"I could care less about the money I got from my father's estate. Ifyouwant that, you can have it. I’ll sign it over to you right now. I’ve told Mason a million times and I will tell you the same thing. I am never touching it.Never," she emphasized.
"That's the point of this," he held up the folder. "Whether you touch it or not matters little in the grand scheme of this plan. But it is there and I'm going to make damn sure it's protected—even from me."
"This is stupid. We're arguing over dirty money. This is going to ruin everything."
He shook his head. "Nope. All you have to do is sign this and it's all forgotten. I'll have this messengered over to my lawyer's office and he can deliver it to Mason for safekeeping."
Her eyes went wide. "Oh my God, wait. Isn't Victor your attorney? Holy shit. You told him we were getting married?" She glanced around the car looking through the windows for her nosy brother. "He's probably already told Mason everything, who is going to show up here any minute."
"Victor is more of a professional than that."
"Victor is a jerk. He'll do whatever Mason tells him to."
Gabe's chuckle surrounded her. "He may come across as a hardass and a tool for your brother, which he often is, but he won't break his client confidentiality rules. Trust me."
She exhaled the breath she'd been holding. Every time she thought this situation would spiral out of control, Gabe had an answer. He'd apparently thought of everything.
He grabbed her hand. "Relax, Angel. I've got your back in this. You focus on relaxing your mind and enjoying the process ahead of you and I'll make sure the details are taken care of. That's my job." He slid the folder into her lap and handed her a pen.
She frowned. That felt a little one-sided. Wouldn't it be her job to take care of him? She stared down at the legal forms awaiting her signature. Funny how her immediate assumption had been him trying to protect himself from her when in actuality he'd done the opposite.
"I don't understand these lengths you are going to for all this. This isn't necessary."
"I already told you. Protecting you and your interests is what I do. I'll be responsible for your welfare and your happiness. So this is just the first of many things I plan to accomplish.”
Nina bristled at his words. The Dom was broadcasting loud and clear. "You can't just take over my life. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of my own issues."
His right brow rose at her words and she practically felt the disapproval rolling off of him.
"No one said you weren't capable. However, you allowing me to take charge so you can focus on other things is a beautiful gift."
"Other things? As in sex?" She groaned.
He smirked down at her. "Do you want me to lie? I'm very invested in becoming your first. Do you have any idea what that means to a man like me?"
She shook her head. Honestly, she couldn't fathom what went through his head at this point.
"It means all I can think about is how no one else has been inside what's mine. Hell, I'm barely holding it together imagining how tight your sweet cunt is going to be when I finally get balls deep. It's going to be intense."
Nina swallowed at the rampant images his words put in her head. Sometimes it took his blunt words to remind her she wasn't dealing with an ordinary man. He had that extra dose of alpha possessiveness and the confidence that came with it that made her itch for more as much as it drove her crazy.
But maybe he was overestimating how great this would be. He didn't quite have the whole story. Time to confess the truth.
"I'm not exactly a virgin in the truest sense of the word, Gabe. I mean there's not much innocence in me, that's for sure. Over the years I have gotten creative to get around the actual insert dick part." She took a deep breath before she continued and averted her eyes. Not because she was ashamed, but simply because it was kind of hard to openly talk about this stuff. She didn't even share this much with her girlfriends. "For one, there's oral sex. I figured that didn't apply so I think I've perfected those skills." She bit her lips to keep from laughing when she watched his eyebrows raise from the corner of her eye. "And my toy closet is fairly extensive. I mean, it had to be though, because those nights I've spent watching at Purgatory tend to rev me up and I'm a normal woman with normal needs. Not to mention, I have a fairly vivid imagination. So I guess I'm just trying to let you know that..." She let the sentence trail off. Apparently, there was a limit as to how much she wanted to admit out loud.
"Your body already knows how to take a cock?"
Her body jerked at his question. "I guess if you want to put it that way then sure, yes."
"And you think taking my cock is going to be anything like one of your fake ones?”
She shrugged. "I'm sure it won't be exactly the same. I just didn't want you going into this thinking that—I don't know—that you'd hurt me or anything."
Gabe smiled a moment before he shoved the folder of papers to the floorboard of the car. "Lie back and lift your skirt, Nina."
