Hi everyone thanks for the reviews! I know Gabi is kinda annoying, I wanted to make her really fiery and fight him all the way…so that it meant more when she finally gives in. I also wanted to show that Troy could handle her mood swings!

Hope you are still enjoying it even if it doesn't always make sense. Please keep reviewing!

Here's the next one…

Ang.

CHAPTER 18

Troy knew he had something to be happy about. He knew because he woke up with a massive smile on his face and it only got bigger when he realised Gabi was in his arms and last night hadn't all been a dream.

Oh but it felt amazing waking up with her and though her face were covered with her hair as she slept curled into him, just the sight of her was enough to have him hard and achy with his need for her.

That little massage she had surprised him with had woken his body to a whole new level and he would never have expected it of her.

He gently pushed her hair back from her face and appreciated her natural beauty, realising she had stripped off her jeans and her bare legs were tangled with his.

Gabi stirred and stroked the delicious chest under her fingers, realising very quickly where she was and who she was with.

She gasped in panic "Oh my god!" she murmured.

"Hey, don't start that" Troy chuckled as he cuddled her tightly so she wouldn't do a runner.

"Don't start what?" she asked .

"That thing where you panic and think you shouldn't be with me" he said drily.

She smiled into his eyes, pressing against his chest to let up and he did but she didn't move from the bed.

"Ok, just let me think about this" she said with a little frown and dragged her hair from her face as she rolled onto her back.

"No way" he said and leaned over her body to kiss her before she could protest, so she lay there and enjoyed his lazy morning kiss like any girl would. But her brain was definitely fried.

It really wasn't fair, she'd thought as she had looked into those dangerous blue eyes of his when she'd woken. His hair was all soft and messy and he was half naked for a start, but on top of that, his lips were kissing hers gently, in that insistent way that she had never experienced before. Like he had all the time in the world to kiss her top lip, then her bottom lip, then flick his tongue into her mouth, then tilt his head and angle for deeper access to her mouth. Her hands were like magnets with his head as she cast her palms upon the back of his head and ran her fingers into the soft and long hair she came into contact with, messing it some more as she wriggled in the bed in an effort to have more of her body in contact with his.

Troy scooped an arm around her waist to bring her body into touch with his, shifting one knee between hers so he was half laying on her and she arched against him. She stroked her hands down his chest then back into his hair as his mouth continued to tease her. Troy pulled away and looked into Gabi's eyes as he shifted again, laying between her thighs as she watched him with shallow breaths. He moved to kiss her neck, enjoying her surprised gasp, then grazing the skin with his teeth and flicking his tongue there too. His kisses continued down her chest as his hands moved up her ribcage, taking her layered vest with them, silently asking permission to remove it and Gabi lifted her arms to grant it.

Troy stared at her with dark desire- heavy eyes and brushed his thumb up over her bra-clad breast, feeling her hard nipple beneath the material as he leaned down to brush his lips into the hollow between the tempting mounds of flesh.

"Troy" she gasped as she held his head there and arched her neck to the onslaught of pleasure he brought her with his mouth.

"Oh my god Gabi, you are so beautiful" he whispered as he leaned back up onto her body and she ran her hands across his backside, round the waistband of his jeans to find the zip and help him remove the garment, leaving them both in their underwear.

Gabi leaned up, signalling for Troy to remove her bra and he struggled with the clasp a little, causing Gabi to giggle.

"You are so cute!" she teased and he pouted.

"Sorry…" he whispered breathlessly as she pinged the clasp free and shyly rid the garment, exposing herself to him.

"Oh wow" he murmured, lost in her beauty once more, leaning down to kiss her there, waiting until she was begging for him before he allowed his tongue to flick over the sensitive peak he found and the noise that emanated from her had him all but dying to be buried inside her.

Gabi had never felt so damp in her life. When his tongue went over her nipple like that, it was like he was doing something entirely different to another part of her body and she found it over-whelming.

"Troy…" she called meekly as he began the same treatment of her other breast and he kissed down her tummy to her belly button where she jerked her hips restlessly and she felt him peel her knickers off as she wriggled.

She was expecting him to come and lay on top of her again so that she might actually have a chance to return some of this heavenly onslaught but his lips pressed against the inside of her knee and she felt entirely embarrassed at him being so intimate with her.

"Wait…" she said suddenly, her nerves buzzing at the sensations crashing over her.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he crawled up to her, nibbling her neck as he met her gaze and she cradled his face, remembering his heavy brows, his intense blue eyes that made her tummy dip and curl and his swollen lips with that gorgeous crease at the top leading to his tidy nose. And those lashes that were so long and dark against his delicate blue eyes.

She couldn't put into words how she felt because she wasn't sure. She was afraid of letting go like this, of trusting him to love her body.

She kissed him sweetly and he seemed to understand because his hands stroked down her body softly, enjoying her tiny waist, running up and down her back, cupping her backside and cradling her thigh as his hand came round and brushed against the sensitive skin on the inner side so gently she felt like her breath was stuck in her lungs and wouldn't expel.

"Gabi, is this okay?" he asked again as he twined his fingers into hers and held one hand above her head to stretch her body, bringing her breasts up against him.

"More than okay" she murmured "I have your condoms" she added and he smiled against her shoulder as he dropped his head "Extra large" she added with a warm smile and he moved to strip his boxers, revealing his arousal to her in its entirety and Gabi was speechless.

She reached for the protection, but her gaze didn't shift from him and she couldn't help her curious hands as she took him and stroked him and he groaned with pleasure. She took out the protection and rolled it onto him, letting him lay back between her thighs, her eyes meeting his as she bit her lip nervously. He wasn't lying when he asked for extra large.

"Just don't panic okay?" he asked softly as he saw her eyes go wide and fearful.

"Unless you don't want to do this?" he asked with a strained voice and a throbbing groin.

"I want to" she assured him.

His hand drifted down her body to cup her thigh, lifting it gently over his to allow him better access to enter her. But he held back as he leaned in to kiss her breasts again and then her lips, letting her hands creep across his body to fall on his chest and climb around his neck and into his hair as her passion soared and he knew she was ready, he just wanted to take it slow so he didn't hurt her.

He pressed against her nub with his thumb before he entered her and when he slid into her, her tight hotness surrounded him and he closed his eyes at the pleasure abounding his body.

Gabi sighed out a moan as Troy filled her; like her body was waiting for this and yet wanting more even now that she had this intense pleasure filling her. She had made love with guys before but nothing had ever come close to this soul-consuming experience she was having right here, right now with Troy.

His arms bunched and bulged as he gently rocked his hips in his slow, exquisite love making and she opened her eyes to see him above her, his hair dripping into his face, his lips parted just so, his body tensing and reaching as he loved her and she watched him in awe as she took him inside her and bucked back against his hips, clutching onto his arms as she enjoyed the feel of his strength there, and in the rest of his body as he controlled his need.

Gabi could only pray that she would remember what day it was and her name because the friction of their bodies was wiping away any other inconsequential memory and all she could think of was the heat, the feel of him inside her, the way his lips pressed against her skin, how his soft but urgent kisses and slow but oh-so-intense love making were turning her inside out.

She gasped as she felt an intense contraction squeeze him inside of her and she knew she was orgasming, though she had never felt it during sex before and the feeling was one of delicious golden rain falling warmly on her skin, like electric butterflies flying across her body, like her whole being didn't belong to her anymore but she was at the mercy of Troy and his hands and lips and oh god his everything. He held her tightly as she convulsed against him inside of her and her body shook in his strong, tight embrace, his own release following shortly after as they collapsed on the bed, entirely spent and stunned at the heights they reached together.

Gabi had never let herself go like that. Ever. She had never come undone in anyone's arms. And if someone had told her six months ago, that the candidate to achieve that would be Troy Bolton, she would have laughed in their face. But it was him. It was him who challenged her and made her so mad she wanted to strip him naked and kiss him all over. And now it was him who had shown her how her body could enjoy so much pleasure that she could burst into a million stars in an orgasmic climax that she had never experienced before. Troy. Jesus. What was she doing?

---

Troy didn't mind that Gabi moved to put on her knickers and vest as he disposed of his condom. He would love to feel her naked body against his but he knew these things took time and he knew that any minute now she would start worrying again so when she crawled back onto the bed he watched to make sure she crawled right into his arms so he could hold her tightly once more.

"I have to get ready for work" he murmured against her hair.

"Yeah, me too" she sighed.

"You are just THE best start to the day" he grinned as she leaned onto her elbow and flicked her gaze across his handsome face.

She reached out and smoothed his wayward fringe from his eyes.

"I have to tell him" she said softly.

"Tell who what?" he asked with a frown.

"My dad. He asked me to leave because he doesn't want me to be with you" she explained.

"Oh wow" his eyebrows raised.

"God, this is so new, would you rather I didn't?" she panicked, sitting up.

"Wait, you're not going to go are you?" he checked.

"I probably am, to see mom and some friends" she admitted and he sat up too, brushing his fringe with his hand as Gabi flicked her gaze down his impressive body.

"Oh. Okay. Well have fun" he said and frowned as he sat on the edge of his bed with his back to her.

Did he think she was leaving him? Did he actually think she was having a one night stand? Gabi didn't think it possible but his shoulders were hunched over with hurt.

She crawled over and placed her hands on them and he started, like he had forgotten she was there as he sat deep in thought.

"I'm coming back" she said with a little frown and he turned his head to show her his guarded blue eyes.

"You are?" he asked, confused. Gabi didn't think she had ever seen him look so vulbnerable.

"Sure. I have to come back and insult you, life's no fun otherwise" she quipped with a smile.

"But your dad…"

"Is going to throw a fit I know" she rolled her eyes "Do you think you can forgive me for that?" she wondered as she got up and began to pull on her jeans.

"I'm really not sure" he said and she looked behind her to see if he was serious but he wasn't because he was walking toward her, totally naked, his hands facing outwards ready to grope her backside from where she stood zipping up her jeans.

When he reached her he took her backside into his hands and dropped a kiss on the side of her neck as he leaned his chin on her shoulder and curved his body to reach her shorter height.

"Is that helping?" she asked drily, ignoring his attempt to seduce her.

"It sure is" he agreed and she giggled, turning to face him and he planted his hands back on her butt, smiling down into her face as she linked her hands at his neck and fiddled with the hair there gently.

"When are you flying out?" he asked.

"Saturday morning" she said.

"Why don't we catch that Av's game before you go?" he suggested.

"Erm a little thing called paparazzi" she reminded him.

"So what? Your dad will know anyway and they print what they want no matter what we do, so we may as well go and have some fun." He reasoned.

"Ok I'll think about it, now get in the shower and I'll see you in the lobby for the car" she said, letting him kiss her and he drew her lips into a longer and much more enticing kiss that left her tingling and aching for more.

"Arrghhh! I hate you, Bolton!" she fumed as she pulled away and headed for the door, annoyed that he had that effect on her. She grabbed her shopping bags as she went.

"Hate you too, honey!" he called brightly as the door shut behind her and she felt herself smiling at his comment.
