Gaby sighed and gave Dino time to recover from her words, she had felt him shaking and held his arms tightly to stop him from letting her go, caressing them lightly with her fingers. Unconsciously the two of them began to move in the steps of an unwritten dance, senses heightened due to the close contact.

Dino released one of her arms which dropped down, her hand returning to the thigh where it had rested earlier; his hand was free to travel on a voyage of re-discovery and Gaby exalted in his move. His touch softer and lighter that it had ever been, yet she could feel the strength of him through his fingertips, needed it, wanted it…

She slowly moved her hand inwards around his thigh and heard the short deep breath that he took in reaction to her move. At the same time his hand floated across a breast, sending a thrill through her body.

Her grip tightened on his right hand and Dino moved his lips up her neck kissing just behind the ear. Gaby whimpered quietly, closing her eyes in pleasure at his touch. Searching, her left hand found his belt, happy to feel that it was a plain one. She pulled a face in concentration, but managed to undo it fairly easily, at the same time feeling the shiver that ran through his body.

In response, Dino undid a few buttons that ran down the front of her dress, sliding his hand under the fabric, now in contact with her bare skin, he fought for control of himself. He needed Gaby to take control, needed her to realize that this was about them… not her, not him, but them as a couple, as a partnership.

Once again Gaby hesitated, Dino had usually taken over by now, so why was he holding back? His words from earlier that evening came back to her… 'Can we start again?' Was that what he wanted? To recapture how they had been when she had first gone to New York? As she pondered, her hands unconsciously caressed the skin under her hands, causing Dino to moan slightly.

Suddenly it came to her, yes, Dino did want to recapture the spontaneity of their early relationship, but also she now had the confidence to match what he had given her… To be his equal. She knew Dino loved the softer quieter Gaby – he had told her so, but now he was also telling her that he loved the Gaby that challenged him, mentally, emotionally, physically…

Reaching up with her right hand she caught the back of his head and turned hers to meet his lips, at the same time dropping her left hand inside the waistband of his jeans, feeling the tremor pass through his skin. Dino copied her move, and she quivered, making her hunger for more.

Her right hand gripped the back of his neck as her left released the zip of his jeans and gently began to stroke him. She stiffened in pleasure as once again Dino duplicated what she was doing, his hand descending between her legs circling and stroking. She moaned softly and released Dino's lips, before catching his right hand with hers, indicating that she wanted a more tactile contact.

Dino smiled and released the buttons at the top of her dress, sliding his hand inside her bra, caressing the nipple of her breast with his thumb. He groaned as her touch became firmer, slightly increasing speed, while her right hand worked at his jeans and shorts, pushing them over his hips on one side, before she switched hands to do the other.

"Dino…" Gaby's voice came as a gasp, her hands now pulling at him, "I need you…"

He needed no further urging, he had been ready for her request, but still took his time, lifting the skirt of her dress and pushing her panties down. Grasping Gaby firmly with one hand, he guided himself inside, thankful that Gaby was on slightly higher ground, it certainly helped…

Gaby leant forward a little, helping the two of them keep balance, grasping Dino's arm as he pushed deeply inside from behind. She moaned loudly as he built up a rhythm, deep and strong, knowing it would send her into ecstasy in a very short time.

Dino closed his eyes, he was so close to releasing himself after her ministrations that he gritted his teeth, hoping to hold on, while one hand stroked Gaby in her most intimate of places causing her to shudder violently. The move brought them to their knees, so strong was the reaction.

Dropping to the ground, Gaby found herself on her back, Dino holding her tightly after releasing the rest of the buttons on her dress, easing himself into her once more. She moaned as his lips gently kissed her neck, her eyes closing as her inner nerves trembled. Dino withdrew slightly and pushed again causing her to hiss sharply at the depth he achieved.

A few more pushes and Gaby was shaking, almost crying out at the sensations she could feel, She had missed Dino so much, the look on his face when she did something he liked, his character and his habits and yes, she missed the way he could make her feel.

She shuddered, her breath coming short and fast, Dino knew he could catch her within moments if he wished, but it would be too soon… too short… He pushed hard and deep, feeling Gaby rise underneath him in rapture, felt her hands encircle his neck, pulling him down…

The kiss took his breath away and it took all his mental strength not to finish things there and then. He remained lying lightly on her body, still, the two of them joined, loving the feel of her around him, loving the taste of her lips against his. For a moment they paused, Gaby smiling as she looked up into his eyes, "Was there something you wanted…?"

Dino chuckled softly, "your turn…" Rolling over, he pulled Gaby on top of him. She smiled to herself, settling onto him gently, before contracting her muscles against him tightly, causing him to gasp. It was her turn, and she was going to make the most of it.

Changing her position slightly, she was able to sit straighter, increasing the sensations Dino could feel. During their time together, she had learnt that he liked a strong contact, whether fast or slow. She began slowly, hearing his breathing become deeper, the sigh coming out of his mouth almost immediately. She pushed a little harder, gratified by his response as he caught her hips, pulling her against him.

Dino groaned, and Gaby pushed harder, faster – she was determined to get him first, do what he had done to her so often. It was time for her to pay back all he had given… By giving herself… She drove against him, feeling the shudder through his body, feeling a corresponding shudder through her own.

Dino groaned again and gasped, trying to lift so he could turn Gaby over he found himself pinned to the ground, as she pressed her fingers into two pressure points in his shoulders.

"Gaby… Please…"

"Oh no you don't Dino… You said it was my turn, don't you want to enjoy what you've taught me?" She tightened around him again pushing harder, faster than before, smiling when he arched his back underneath her, overcome by the tremors coursing through his body.

Gaby began to shake, Dino, no longer able to maintain control, dug his fingers into the earth, writhing beneath her, never had a woman done this to him before, given herself so completely. He had delighted in giving pleasure – and on occasion taken it, but Gaby was the only person who had the strength to dominate him as she had allowed him in the past to dominate her. They truly were equal, at last.

A cry from Gaby's lips indicated that she had been able to pleasure herself with the moves she had made against him. He caught her hips tightly, closing his eyes as he felt himself lifting, consumed by the fire that was Gaby. He erupted into her, the release almost painful in its ecstasy, crying out her name, relief that he had not lost her as he had feared.

Dino's release triggered Gaby's reaction, shuddering, she dropped to his chest, her forehead touching his as she gasped for breath. Opening her eyes, she saw Dino looking at her in wonderment and chuckled at the look on his face.

"What is it…?"

"Did I really teach you how to do that?"

Gaby chuckled, "and a lot more besides… I have a lot to thank you for, and I'm not only talking about this, but other things too." She suddenly became serious, her voice becoming quiet, "That's why I was so upset, I thought you no longer wanted me, needed me… Cared for me."

Dino wrapped his arms around her, holding her as tightly as he could, his voice full of emotion, "Gaby, from now on please… No matter what, please understand that I love you, don't ever leave me again."

A tear splashed onto his cheek as Gaby answered softly, "I promise Dino… I promise…"
