I wrap the towel around myself, step out of the shower and turn my back on the unwanted visitor. Instart looking for the clothes Inknow had been there minutes before.

A slight growl escapes my mouth, "I wonder where my clothes are? You wouldn't know what happened to them, would you?"

"You need something to wear? No prob, gotcha covered Sweets!"

I groan knowing I probably don't want to know what he was doing but turn to face him. He sports a big grin on his face and edible panties hang from his fingers.

"Gabriel..."

"Oops sorry! Forgot something to cover the top.. Tada!" He smirks, shaking a can of whipped cream.

I roll my eyes and huff but are slowly going from annoyed to slightly amused.

"And let's not forget the pièce de résistance." A snap of his fingers and two cherries appear.

I can only image what I'd look like with a whip cream bikini and fruit flavored panties.

"Is that a hint of a smile I see? You Do like me, don't you?" Gabriel wiggles his eyebrows. Feeling giddy with hope he starts thinking how to proceed.

"You are an idiot" but my tone has more humor than bite to it. "Zap back my clothes and get out so I can get dressed."

Bingo, he thought. Time to step things up a notch.

"Oh I can do better than that.." He smirked and suddenly I was dressed in silks and satins.

I look down at myself shocked and then glance up to see Gabriel sporting the same period appropriate attire. From the perfect Ascot cravat to some really formfitting breeches.

I am a little dumbstruck but behind him I see the motel room illuminate in a flash of lightning. Is that a broken lamp?

"Gabe, what..?" I start to sputter when our location changes. Gone is the peeling paint and steam fogged bathroom. We are now standing in a beautiful English garden.

Gabriel bows low then glances up and pulls a rose from behind his back. "A rose for my rose..though it's beauty pales in comparison to you."

I blush a little and think, 'Wow, talk about pulling out all the stops'.

He hands it to me and I see it has changed into a chocolate rosebud. 'Of course', I think smiling.

Time to whip out my smooth moves, he thought and then snapped. He gestures to the left and I see a beautiful picnic set for two.

"Thank you, Gabe. But before we sit, just tell me one little thing.."

"Anything for you, Honey.."he drawled. He mentally plucked flower petals, Loves me, Loves me not..

"What destroyed my motel room and had you barging in on my shower?"

A lopsided grin appears on his face, "Oh you noticed the mess, huh? No biggie, some stupid demon thought he'd try to take you out but he never counted on SuperAngel foiling his evil plans." Gabriel stuck his fists on his hips and puffed out his chest.

I smiled and walked over to him. Gabriel might pull stupid tricks sometimes but he seemed to have a soft spot for me. I decide it's time to not only test that theory but to turn the tables on him. Cocky little archangel!

I reach over and trail a hand down his chest. "So you're saying you're the hero I've been waiting for..?" I smirk and raise an eyebrow.

He gulped. So close, all gorgeous eyes and sexy lips. "Umm.."

I wrap my arms around him and take a deep breath, deliberately drawing attention to my chest. 'He smells delicious', I think to myself.

He looks down and a slight flush raises on his cheeks. I grab his sandy hair and pull his mouth to mine. He is shocked for a millisecond but then returns the kiss with vigor.

When we finally draw back, I see his eyes are glazed over with arousal and his tight breeches leave nothing to the imagination.

I swipe a finger over the corner of my lip, and then suggestively put it in my mouth.

"Mmm.." I softly moan. "Quite an appetizer.."

He takes me into his arms again. "There's a lot more on the menu.." He smirks but is staring at me heatedly.

I coyly smile back, "Then let's eat.."
