Previously on Wildest Dreams:
Seth nods at him, then turns and heads for the bar. Richie watches him walking away and thinks that this is the best opportunity he's had all evening. Rubbing his hands together with glee, Richie heads over to the girls table.
It's time to grill Kate's friends.
Sauntering over to the table occupied by Kate's girl friends, Richie leans on the back of Kate's vacant chair and drawls, "Well, ladies, how about we get acquainted?"
He finds he can't suppress the wide grin that breaks out across his face when Cazz, the Blonde, and the Nerd swiftly turn their heads towards him like a mob of meerkats sensing a threat. It's not the synchronized head turning that makes him grin, but the varying expressions across their faces from delight (Cazz) to dread (the Blonde). Grasping the back of the chair firmly, he swivels it around so he can straddle it, then leans back with his forearms resting on the chair back and hands clasped.
The nearly too wide grin almost feels as if he's laying the charm on a little thick, but he's been on a high since he found out Kate was in the bar and has been doing his level best to get her and his brother together. Well, he's snarked at Seth enough and pushed him into making a move, but his brother was nothing if not stubborn. Maybe getting Kate's friends onto his brother's side would help get these two stubborn asses together at last.
So as Richie begins his campaign, he soon finds out that the blonde is called Pam and the nerd is Clare, and not only are they Kate's friends, but they are her best friends. Kate has been involved with these girls for the past few years and has told them all about the Titty Twister, culebras, and Seth. They have had self defence lessons from Kate and they even carry weapons with them. And to further prove their point, they all show him the pointy sticks in their bags- Cazz showcasing her stakes with a sultry laugh, and the other two with nervous chuckles and blushes. After all, they are talking about weapons to kill his kind.
Before they get too far into the conversation, Richie sees Kate come back into the bar. He catches the look that crosses her face and the way her face falls when she can't locate Seth. He does his best to catch her eye and when he does, he nods his head in the direction of the bar and hopes that she gets his meaning. Kate then glances towards the bar and back to Richie, giving the younger Gecko a small smile and a thumbs up right before heading off in Seth's direction.
"You do realize that my brother is hopelessly in love with Kate right?" Richie says as he suddenly cuts back into the conversation the girls are having.
"Yep. That's pretty much what our conclusion was when Kate told us about him," Cazz says with a grin, and both Pam and Clare nod in agreement with Cazz's assessment.
"Kate is just as in love with him, too," Pam grins. She's warmed up to Richie fairly quickly, what with his open smiling demeanor and obvious fondness for their girl. It was easy to see his investment in his brother and his relationship with Kate.
"That's fantastic because it looks like our ship is about to sail. Kate's heading for the bar," Richie says with a smirk. All three girls give him a quizzical look as if wondering what the hell anything has to do with a ship sailing. "Hey, I have a wife who has recently discovered TV," he's quick to defend himself. "-and then just as quickly discovered fan fiction. I've had to learn the lingo or I'd have absolutely no fucking idea what the hell she's talking about most of the time."
This causes the females at the table to burst into laughter at his predicament, all whilst nodding in sympathy and Cazz slapping at his arm as if it's the funniest thing she's ever heard. The ice is well and truly broken now, and the conversation continues in earnest with the girls asking about what Seth is like now and wanting an explanation for the car, money, and abandonment in Mexico.
Richie thought this would probably crop up- and from Seth's revelation earlier, it's obviously the one thing that Seth feels really guilty about, not the result of what he did. Seth is still convinced that the only way he could protect Kate was to get her as far away from him as possible, but Richie had to explain that he shouldn't have allowed his fucking bastard persona to handle the situation. Richie then does his best to explain Seth's reasoning and the need to make Kate leave- they having discussed that night at length although Seth had admittedly left out the actual way he'd persuaded Kate to go and Richie, thinking about it now, is convinced that Kate would not have ever left Seth if he didn't make her believe she wasn't wanted.
Richie has been doing his best not to read any of Kate's friends while they've been talking, but as he'd explained to Seth, sometimes it's hard to avoid when thoughts are being projected so loud. The thoughts that he's getting from each of the girls always seem to involve a little girl with bouncing dark curls and big brown eyes. He's done his best to ignore the memories, but is becoming more intrigued by the amount of times this little girl has appeared. Finally, a clear picture of a birthday party for the girl is projected at him. He sees her sitting on Kate's knee and leaning forward to blow out the 3 big candles sitting on a pure white cake with a cartoon of a dark haired girl, a backpack, and a monkey with Happy Birthday written below. Whilst the girls continue to chatter, his mind slots this scene together with all the others ones that had been thrown at him this evening, which results in an epiphany
"Fucking bastard! Not a honeymoon my ass."
His loud unexpected outburst causes both Pam and Clare to jump in fright, and Cazz to punch him in the arm- her usual response to shock. She's much more a fight, not flight girl.
"Honeymoon?" Clare then asks with a puzzled expression.
"I'm an Uncle," He spits out, missing their gaping mouth and raised eyebrows when he lets the proverbial cat out of the bag and he doesn't even try to hold back the sudden grin that breaks out across his face when the revelation sinks in. He is so incredibly happy for his brother. "Yeah, honeymoon," he scoffs in answer to Clare's query. "All the best ones end in knocking up your wife."
His grin is infectious and soon the girls are grinning back at him in turn.
"How did you find out?" Clare asks once the surprise has worn off.
"I'm sorry, ladies, but you were all projecting thoughts of her at me. I couldn't avoid it." The girls all gulp and look at each other with worried expressions. "It's okay. I'm sure the secret is already out. They're probably discussing it at the bar already."
His statement causes all three girls to look towards the bar, all quickly realizing that Kate has been gone for what feels like ages. "I should go and check on her" Cazz asks more than states, and gets nods of approval from both Pam and Clare before heading towards the bar.
"Don't say anything until we know what she's told him," Pam warns Richie, her face cute and serious like a kitten ready to pounce on a fluffy toy.
"Fine, fine," Richie concedes with his hands held up to deflect the ire of the kitten.
Conversation dwindles a bit with just the three of them left at the table, both girls looking a bit concerned at the letting the cat out of the bag and Richie getting lost in his head as he plays through all the memories of his niece that they had projected at him. Looking up from his reflective thoughts, Richie then catches sight of Cazz making her way back to the table with a happy looking Kate following behind her.
Richie gets up to grab another couple of chairs assuming that if Kate is back, then Seth is not far behind. Sure enough, when he gets back, Kate has reclaimed her seat, and Seth has arrived with a tray carrying beer and a bottle of PatrĂ³n. Richie's eyebrows raise, sending a questioning look at his brother- was their talk at the bar resulting in a celebration or are they drowning their sorrows?
Seth catches the look and gives his brother a teary-eyed smile in return. Fortunately enough, Richie knows Seth well enough to see that his brother is doing his best to control his emotions. It's a happy and sad look he gives Richie, one that says we're celebrating, but if you talk to me I might just cry on your shoulder. He's pretty sure that means Kate has told him about his daughter, so he lets Seth put the drinks on the table and hands him a chair.
Richie doesn't question his brother, but he does lean down to speak into Kate's ear. "Thank you. That's probably the best news he's ever gotten." Kate turns to look up at him in confusion and he chuckles at her puzzlement. With a smirk, he says, "I can't wait to meet my niece."
Kate is so ecstatic, she can't stop smiling. Never in her wildest dreams did she believe that it would be so easy to fall back into being with Seth. They sit hand in hand, talking with Richie and her friends. The Gecko brothers are being the charming bastards that she knew they could be- they've both got her best friends eating out of their hands with tales of epic battles full of snake bites and ash. The tequila is flowing and all too soon the bar is shutting down.
They leave as a group- Richie escorting Pam, Clare, and Cazz with Seth and Kate following behind. It takes forever to get back to the Villa as Kate keeps on pulling Seth into doorways and up against walls to run her hands through his hair, and to assault his lips. Both of them get lost in the pleasure of each other that they totally forget about the rest of the group as they eventually stumble through the door of the girl's Villa.
Much to the amusement of Richie and Kate's friends, they watch as Kate tugs Seth into her room. They stumble back towards her bed, Kate's hands in his hair and Seth's hands grasping her ass to pull her against his already hard length. Hitting the bed, Kate loses balance and tumbles back, bringing a chuckling Seth crashing down with her. She smiles back at him as her hands frantically work on pushing his jacket of his shoulders, her lack of coordination causing him to chuckle even more. Eventually, Seth pulls himself back and gets himself out of his jacket.
He's now kneeling on the bed between Kate's legs, looking down at her with undisguised want. Kate is mesmerized by the look on his face and can't wait to get closer to him. Reaching up, she pulls his shirt out of his pants and makes swift work of the buttons- half of them popping clean off in her haste. Her hands still once his shirt is pulled wide open, and she takes a minute to admire his chest and stomach. She'd never really forgotten how gorgeous Seth is, but is still blown away at sight of his tanned, muscled chest and stomach.
Had he always been this ripped? She muses as her mouth dries when need spikes through her.
Seth allows her a few moments to admire him, he knows that he looks good. He's spent years fighting, and has had to maintain a high level of fitness and muscle just to keep up with his brother and Santanico. He watches Kate intently and has to suppress a groan at the sight of her pink tongue peeking out of her mouth to moisten her lips.
He suddenly can't hold back any more and needs to taste her. Slipping back off the bed to kneel on the floor, Seth runs his hands up the sides of Kate's thighs and under her dress to grasp at both sides of her panties. He doesn't immediately pull them down, he looks up at Kate and waits for her to give him a slight nod of permission before peeling them down her legs and tossing them absently behind him.
Seth leans forward, resting his hands on her knees and gently pushes them apart to press a moist, open mouth kiss on the inside of Kate's right knee. He then slowly runs his hands back up her thighs, pushing her dress up as his hands move to reveal more and more of Kate's creamy thighs. As her dress bunches up in his hands, Seth's breath hitches at the sight of her damp curls being revealed. He can smell her arousal and it's headier than both her perfume and the tequila combined.
The anticipation of tasting her makes his mouth water and this causes Seth to swallow thickly. Moving his hands round from her hips to her ass, Seth pulls Kate forward so that she is seated on the edge of the bed. He groans loudly as Kate digs her hands into his hair, pulling him closer to where she really wants him. Seth then glances up to find her splayed back against the bed- back bowed and head thrown back in anticipation. It is a glorious sight and he can't wait to make her scream.
Kate keens loudly as Seth places hot wet kisses along her folds and clit. Pleasure rushes throughout her body, her nipples pebbling and rubbing against the inside of her bra. She's overwhelmed with the sensation it's causing and the fact that he remembers how much she likes him kissing her pussy. Gripping tighter onto his hair, Kate thrusts her pussy up and down his open mouth to gain the friction she needs. Seth pulls back with a chuckle at her eagerness and just as Kate picks up her head to threaten him, he leans back in and caresses her with his thick, flat tongue. Kate's mouth dries and a loud moan escapes passed her lips. She can feel the heat rising up through her body and knows her orgasm is looming, but she needs more to push her over the edge.
Pulling Seth up from between her thighs to tell him what she needs, Kate can't help but smirk at his dazed expression. "I need you now," she pants.
Lying back, she watches through half-lidded eyes as Seth stands to quickly unbuckle his pants and pull them- along with his briefs- down, revealing his thick hard cock. Kate can't help but lean up and forward to take his hot length into her hand- the feel of him in her hand causing Seth to groan loudly and Kate to giggle in delight. He pushes her back on the bed and follows her down with his mouth finding hers in a sloppy, wet kiss- all tongue and nipping teeth.
Kate's legs fall open wider to accommodate his hips, and the hot blunt end of his cock slides up through her folds to bump over her throbbing bundle of nerves. Kate gasps into his mouth as waves of pleasure course through her body, and Seth lines up only to slowly sink into Kate's heated core.
"Fuck! You're so wet," Seth groans into her ear, and Kate grinds herself up into him. She can only moan louder in return as he pulls back and thrusts back into her as far as he can reach. Her eyes close and she begins to get lost in the exquisite feel of him pumping hard and fast into her tight, wet core.
Before Kate can fully succumb to her pleasure, a tiny bubble of apprehension breaks through her desire addled brain. Oh, hell. No protection.
"You can't cum in me," Kate whimpers and disappointment creeps over her as Seth immediately stops moving.
"Where would you like me to cum then?" He groans into her neck with a barely suppressed chuckle.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't prepared for this. Fuck! I've not needed to think about this in forever," Kate babbles in embarrassment.
Seth slides out of her and scrambles back into his clothes with a small sigh- covered but not buttoned up- and sits back on the bed as he gathers a flustered Kate into his arms and shushes her. "Hey, we have plenty of time for this. I'm no better, either. I have a big bed, an empty house, a sober driver, and there's sure to be an open drug store somewhere, but none of that occurred to me." Seth chuckles ruefully against her hair. "I was way too busy acting like a teenager who couldn't wait to get into his girlfriend's pants."
They lie snuggling for a while, enjoying being in each others arms again until Seth notices that Kate's eyes are beginning to droop. Gently laying her back on the bed, he removes her forgotten heels and pulls the covers up around her. "Don't go," she mumbles in a sleepy voice.
"I have to, Kate. Got stuff to do tomorrow," he replies. "I'll come pick you up around lunchtime, okay?" He asks, leaning down to place a kiss on her forehead.
"Okay," she murmurs back.
Kate is asleep before Seth can even switch off the light. Giving her a last lingering look, he closes her door quietly and heads out of the Villa, throwing the latch on the front door behind him. It's still dark outside and Seth's not in any mood to walk home. Fumbling around in his pocket to find his phone, he's surprised when a voice breaks his concentration.
"Kate chuck you out?"
Seth glances up to find his brother leaning against his car with a smirk on his face. He really shouldn't be surprised at either the smirk or the sight of his brother waiting for him. Richie's intuition is spot on these days and that smirk is almost a permanent feature. "Kate's sleeping and I have things that need to be addressed in the morning. I'll come pick her up around lunchtime."
"So," Richie then drawls. "-when are we going to meet your daughter?"
Seth slowly smiles at the question- it's not truly sunk in yet. Yesterday he was plain 'ol Seth Gecko, retired bank robber and ex-convict turned man of means and culebra slayer. Tonight, however, he is lover, boyfriend, and father. He's not sure that he has ever been happier.
Grabbing his brother by the back of the neck and resting his forehead against Richie's, Seth laughs and says, "Get in the car, fucker, and take me home. We'll find out tomorrow what the future holds."
