Fuck, she was gorgeous.
Serene and sleepy like this, not already at arms with me and stubborn or combative, she looked like a rare and unique creature I’d want to try to tame over and over again. Relaxed and present in my bed, she was the ultimate temptation.
Looking at her was enough to get my dick waking up, too.
She was a temptation I wasn’t feeling ready to pass up on yet. “How do you feel?”
She let out a long, lazy breath. “I feel like I want to not be coddled again.”
And then she did it.
She gave it to me.
That elusive smile. It was as bright and sexy as I imagined it could be. Unlike the shy expressions she’d given me before, this one came with the full punch. Without looking away, she dazzled me with her bold gaze, so warm and intoxicating, like I might never learn all her secrets. Her lips curled up in a mischievous grin, and I couldn’t hold back.
Lunging for her, I rolled her until she was beneath me, all warm and naked, rubbing against me from head to toe. Kissing her first, I showed her how much I wanted her again. Then, grinding my growing erection against her as she parted her legs and whimpered with need, I proved that I wasn’t anywhere near done with her yet.
“Oh, fuck. Luka. How can you be so hard again?”
I chuckled, kissing a path down her neck until I could suck on her breasts. Her nipples. The swells of her tits. I was hungry to taste it all. Not stopping the slow pushes of my dick against her, I felt the smear of her arousal.
“I’m always hard for you.” It didn’t matter that she was half my age. She was a full-bodied woman I couldn’t resist. “Are you sore?”
“Not sore enough to want you to stop.” She moaned, closing her eyes as she threaded her fingers through my hair to keep my head where she wanted it. It seemed that licking and sucking on her nipples turned her on even faster, but I was determined to prolong it for as long as I could. I had to, if not to keep up the novelty of it all, then to cherish her innocence she so freely gave to me.
Hours later, after we’d come and showered, I suggested that she move more of her things into my room.
“That fast, huh?”
“I’ve been putting off fucking you for over two months,” I growled. “That’s about as far as my patience was going to last where you’re concerned.”
She smiled, teasing me again with her mirth and amusement.
No one in the house needed to be updated that my relationship with Gabriella had shifted. It was evident in the amount of time I spent at home, often with her. On my lap as I kissed her. Clinging to me as I felt her up in the kitchen. Fingering her under the table when we had dinner.
At first, I tried to be as gentle as I could manage. She was a virgin when she arrived. As time passed, she showed me how much she favored my rougher side. Going from completely vanilla to a little more kinky revealed more layers to the exquisite woman she was.
And still, I didn’t tire of her.
No matter what, in the weeks following her botched audition, I only wanted her more.
She didn’t pry or ask about that night, but it was Emil and Alexsei who shared more details about it at lunch one day.
“They were from the Viper Cartel,” Emil remarked.
“And they were coming for me because…?” Gabriella furrowed her brow and glanced at me. “Because of my dad?”
I covered her hand with mine and squeezed her delicate fingers. “Perhaps. We’re still investigating it. Miguel seemed disloyal to all organizations.”
That night, as I stripped her slowly so I could fuck her in the shower, she asked more. I couldn’t tell whether she was nervous to know the truth or afraid to seem nosy.
“Was my dad disloyal to you?” she asked.
“He was.” Under the heat of the water in the shower, I explained how he’d lied and two-timed the Dubinin Family as well as the Riveras. “Traitors are common.”
“I’m sorry he did that.” She kissed me tenderly. “But I’m not surprised that he did. He’s not loyal to anyone. Not even me, his own daughter.”
For that, I was eternally grateful. Otherwise, I might not have ever known she existed.
