Hey everyone thanks for the reviews, keep them coming :D Sorry I couldn't update yesterday.
Chapter 13
"You told her!" Troy bemoaned as they scattered onto the street outside Maude's bar, having been entertained for the night upstairs in her flat. "I can't believe you told her!"
Gabi let her hand entwine with his quickly, hanging off his arm as she pressed her head into his strong arm. "She asked me what our love life was like!" She defended.
"You didn't have to tell her!" He complained, shooting her a bemused look as his eyes crinkled in amusement-come-bewilderment.
"I only said you were amazing in bed." She reasoned, stopping him to kiss his jaw. "Which technically, you are…"
"You said I was an animal in bed; there's a difference…" He remarked drily.
She gasped in mock pretend. "You should be grateful!"
"I should be grateful that my two best female friends in town are now imagining me as an animal in bed…" He tipped his head, trying to understand her argument.
"Well I'm imagining you in bed…" She flirted. "They should have the same pleasure…"
He captured her in his tight arms and kissed her deeply. "You're walking rocky ground, tigress." He promised sexily.
"Rocky, mmm…" She nodded, rubbing against him, smiling audaciously.
"Do you want me to take you right here, in the middle of the street?" He enquired, still wrapping her into his body as tight as she would get. "Because you're going the right way about it…"
"How far home?" She whispered, running her hands into his hair, reaching up to kiss below his ear.
"Too far…" He growled, grasping her backside and bringing her against his sudden needful heat.
His tongue plunged into her mouth as she whimpered and ached to get closer to him, despite their constant togetherness since her arrival in town.
She could never get enough of his deep kisses; never tire of his hands on her body this way.
"Troy…" She panted out, darting looks around to search for a haven.
"I know, princess, but you started this game…" He gruffed, his breaths slewing in and out fiercely.
"Silly me…" She chastised herself, biting her lower lip. "Your truck?" She enquired, seeing his eyes cloud over at the thought of having found somewhere close they could end this urge to be closer.
"You little minx," He grinned, taking her hand and leading her to his parked vehicle quickly.
Clambering inside, they were all hands and kisses as they clasped to be bare; together, skin on skin.
"Slow down, princess…" He groaned as she stripped him keenly, his own hands baring her flesh and tasting when he could.
"I can't…" She moaned back, her whine desperately calling for more of him and the thought that she wanted him so badly had him stiff and aching with need in seconds.
"Am I that irresistible?" He teased, cupping her face, kissing her mouth for the short moments she allowed him.
"Its all that talk about how great you are in bed…" She breathed out, climbing across his lap as he sat in the back seat of his truck and thumbed her breasts with an openly appreciating gaze.
"We, tigress." He adjusted, knowing that he wouldn't have half this passion with anyone else. She squirmed in his lap as she protected him and then she joined them, his hands on her hips as he arched back to sink into her depths.
If anyone could see them now, he mused with a blissful grin as Gabi began rocking against his hips, her movements bringing nothing but washes of pleasure over him. He would have taken the punishment of the law; the visit from the FBI and Denzel's threats all over again just for this moment, dipping into her body and connecting their souls.
"You got me, princess, okay?" He panted, connecting their fingers as she fought for intimacy, for that moment they both drove for. "I'm yours…I love you."
Her cry out was ecstatic, both from his words and because her body hit the highest peak it could manage, in the arms of this man.
She still wondered how it were possible that they combusted like that; every time they came together.
"Why is once never enough with you?" She asked as she kissed him in soft, small kisses on the mouth, still feeling him inside her. He had reached his peak, she was sure of it, because he was panting as harshly as her.
But she always wanted more of him, she could never get enough and as she found a fresh sheath and began their rhythm all over again, she knew he was her real down fall. Troy was her danger.
Because she forgot about everything else when she was coming undone in his arms; she forgot about everyone and everything and became slave to his touch.
His tongue flicked over her nipple as they more slowly loved and she felt the resulting hot flash run right between her thighs, tightening him there inside her.
"Forever, Troy…" She murmured, lifting her arms above her head to stretch her beautiful body before him as she controlled him with her thighs. "I want you forever…"

Gabi wasn't sure how he got them home. She knew he wrapped her up in his jacket to cover her naked body while he carried her into the house, across his chest. She knew he must have pulled his own clothes on to get there; but when she woke the next morning, he was bare apart from his boxers and he was spooning her deliciously in his large bed.
She seemed to have been assigned his t-shirt for nightwear and she realised he had replaced her underwear and she smiled at his tenderness, even after the striking moments of desire they shared.
It was all their relationship was based on; that fantastic sex; until these moments unearthed themselves and his arms cuddled her so protectively. She never dreamed she could have both, she smiled. She never dreamed she could have this, at all.
"You smell like sweet heaven…" He husked on a grin, nuzzling her neck.
"You feel like Adonis and then some…" She arched back against him gently, receiving his hard arms all the way around her.
"I'll squeeze harder…" He growled, making her giggle.
"I can't breathe!" She complained, loving being held so tightly.
"Mmm, I could get used to this…" He murmured, kissing her neck, then her shoulder, then her arm.
"What am I going to do, Troy?" She worried cautiously, twisting in his arms as he loosened his hold.
"Stay in my bed. I have plenty of work for you here," His eyes crinkled with his smile.
"I wanted to be an editor…I wanted it so badly and then I did this stupid thing, this really stupid, but brilliant, thing." She mused.
"Why did you do it?" He asked then, intrigued.
She sighed, knowing this was a big secret. She hoped she could trust him with it.
"I admit, when I started the plan, it was because of what Denzel was doing." She began, touching his chest with her small fingers. "I just wanted to feel like he wasn't completely in control…that I could take something back, you know?"
He nodded, kissing her forehead. "It's okay…"
"But the money…I had to have the money." She added shyly.
"Didn't we all…" He agreed ruefully.
"Not for me, Troy. Although, I understand why you did it, too." She allowed, kissing him quickly. "The money was for my sister. She was born with a brain tumour and it was her last chance. The promotion would have given me enough but then Denzel had to ruin it all, he had to ruin everything…"
The tears slid down her face and he cuddled her while he stroked her hair.
"That's where you went?" He checked. "To see your family?"
"Yep…" She nodded, burrowing into his chest. "They did the op. It was a total success. Mary is recovering well."
"You came back for me even though your sister had a brain tumour?" He asked, awed.
"I told you, Troy. I love you." She looked up, leaned on his chest to reach his mouth and moaned as he caught her against his muscled body in receiving her kiss.
"Enough to leave your family?" He questioned. "Enough to risk being caught?"
"That much." She agreed, her brown eyes directly meeting his.
"You don't know what you do to a guy…" He groaned, wrapping her up in his arms.
"I kinda do…" She giggled, feeling his body reacting already.
"What's your solution?" He wondered, thumbing her sleek hair from her face as it washed down from her position above him.
"Sex?" She offered back, unashamedly.
"Well you are a tigress…" He husked, rolling over and pushing his way into the gap between her thighs with his weight.
"Troy!" She gasped as he quickly slipped her t-shirt up her torso and suckled her nipple.
"Too rough?" He asked with a lazy grin.
"Too sexy…" She smiled back, letting her hands explore him over again, even though she knew his form, his muscle and his body well enough by now.
"Open for me…" He whispered, kissing down her belly as her hands ruined his hair and he headed for her centre, her thighs clamped tightly to his sides.
"No more, Troy…" She whined. "I can't take any more…"
"Let me prove you wrong…" He licked her intimately, kissed her and brought her orgasm hard and fast between her quivering legs. He loved how he could have her whimpering for him with just a few ministrations from his mouth.
"Please stop…" She begged, the sweet ache building again as he began over again, alternating his flicks and kisses, surprising her with his tongue. He couldn't have stopped if he tried. She thrashed and wriggled and bucked to be free of his tender loving, but he wouldn't let up. Even though he knew her body might be too sensitive to encompass his swollen need now; even though he was putting his own urges on the back burner; he would happily do that just to see her bliss, just to hear her vocalised desire and feel her body shimmy like that, orgasming to his touch.
"Did you always come like that, princess?" He asked, kissing soft lips up her hip toward her collarbone again.
"I…I don't know…" She breathed, still heady with desire, still in a fog of pleasure.
"If you did, the guy that let you go, he must be crazy…" He mused, nuzzling the flesh of her breast, but holding back from kissing just yet.
He smiled as her hands worked over his muscular back, finding their own pleasurable path as he continued to drown her with sweet sensations.
"I don't think I ever…with anyone…" She offered vaguely.
"You never came?" He enquired, his breath fanning out hotly against her nipple, puckering the skin.
She whimpered and went to press her thumb there, needing touch. He captured her wrist and tied it above her head with his gentle hand; following suit on her other side, trapping her under his heavy weight.
"Maybe…I can't remember…" She answered, popping her dark eyes open to ask what he wanted to finish her pain.
"Must have been bad…" He murmured with a curly smile, flicking the very tip of his tongue over the tiniest peak of her nipple. She groaned and curled at the merest touch, dampening deep inside.
"Why are you punishing me, Troy? I already took my punishment for leaving you…I already suffered," she beseeched.
"Because I love watching you, tigress. I love watching your face as I do this…" Another lick to her breast. "Or this…" He leaned up, gently suckled her neck.
"Stop watching me, start loving me…" She argued.
He chuckled, a pained moan leaving his lips as she used her body to rub against his, causing slickened friction.
"Okay, you're right…its hell…" He agreed, dipping his head to finish his intended foreplay, receiving his own punishment as he went to enter her and she rose at the wrong moment.
"See how you like it…" She grinned felinely, trapped under his body but still with some power.
"Don't make me take you…" He warned huskily, delighted at her teasing.
"You'll have to…I don't want you anymore…" She mocked.
"You don't want me…?" He teased back, surprised.
"Nope." She bucked again, her insides burning for him while she tried to deny him and pay him back.
"You got me, anyway…" He breathed, finally pinning her to the bed and thrusting deep into her body.
She cried out, pleasure and pain folding over each other as his quick entry shocked her body at the same time it pleasured it.
He drove into her, seeking more, seeking a deeper place as she struggled to match him, whimpering at each stroke, desperate to meet his demands.
His hands claimed her curves, her own clawed at his muscular body, voracious for skin, for hard, unforgiving flesh as she arched up and up to satisfy him.
His teeth sank into her shoulder, his lips bruised kisses over her torso as their breaths mixed wildly and flew in and out with cries of ecstasy and together they came to their pinnacles, tensed, arched, poised to spring as their bodies gave way and their sparkling shower of stars rained over them both, surrendering them to the bed below.
The bed that creaked under the strain of their actions.
"Don't ever do that to me again…" He husked, stroking her hair back, too sated to move even though he was conscious of crushing her. But she was wrapped around him happily, clutching on and crying.
"You took me to heaven and back…" She explained with a shaky smile when he looked at her questioningly.
"That's a bad thing?" He wondered, kissing her tears away.
"I never…I never loved anyone like this before." She bit her lower lip.
He rolled to one side then, pulling her into a gentle cuddle at his side where he could rub her back and soothe her.
"It's okay, princess. It's ok that we love each other." He assured.
Only she knew it wasn't. It wasn't okay because then he became her weakness, her target if she ever had to face her crime.
And even if in that moment she knew she'd never love anyone else the same, she knew she couldn't bear to see him hurt, either.
"Don't leave me." She begged, clutching him close. "Don't leave."
