She scrunched her nose up. “And here you are, sitting on my back porch talking to me.”
My hands wrung together nervously. When Nic mentioned meeting his brother and family, I panicked internally. Meeting family is huge. That means more people in my life, more of a chance of someone wanting to dig into my past.
“May I be honest with you, Gabi?”
“Yes, please do.”
I held my breath. She was going to tell me Nic was all wrong for me. That I was not Nic’s type and that after he had his fun with me, I’d be another notch in his belt.
“I’ve been in this family for over five years and I have never seen nor heard of Nic dating anyone. He’s never brought a girl home to meet his brothers or parents before. He really likes you, Gabi. I saw the way he looked at you, the same way Thano looks at me.”
I swallowed hard. “I really like him too. He brings out feelings in me I’ve never experienced before.”
She smiled. “I love Nic and the last thing I’d ever want was for him to get hurt.”
“Is that why you told me about the family?”
“Yes, and I wished like hell someone had warned me.”
I giggled. “I haven’t dated anyone seriously in a long time, Kilyn. I’ve pretty much lived a quiet, non-existent life. But when he walked into my bakery, my entire world felt like it has been woken up. Not just my body, but my heart as well.”
Chewing on her lip, she leaned in closer. “Okay, something else I have to tell. Greek men, well, you know what they say?”
With a roll of my eyes, I replied, “I’ve heard a rumor or two.”
Her cheeks flamed. “They are possessive. In and out of bed. It’s more of a gentle possessiveness. There isn’t anything Thano wouldn’t do for me.”
Now it was time for my cheeks to heat. “Well, we’re taking things slow, but he certainly knows how to rev up my engine.”
Kilyn covered her mouth and giggled. “Oh, I can imagine. And Nic slow? Wow. I’m impressed. Hang on tight girl, if he is anything like his brother, you’re in for a ride. And I do mean ride.”
We both lost it laughing. It was nice to have someone other than Charity to talk to. Not that I didn’t love her like a sister, but talking to Kilyn was fun and different. I’d surrounded myself with only Charity the last four years, and having another girl to talk to was a nice change.
“What’s so funny?”
I glanced up and nearly fell out of my seat at the sight of Thano walking up.
“I know. Wait till you see Thad. I don’t know what their mother did, but she produced three crazy handsome boys.”
Kilyn stood and wrapped her arms around her husband. After a quick kiss, she faced me. “Gabi, this is Thano.”
I stood and reached my hand out for his. He pulled me to him and kissed me gently on the cheek. “It’s nice to meet you, Gabi. I’m not sure what you did to my big brother in there, but keep doing it. I haven’t seen him this relaxed in a long ass time.”
Not sure what to say, I simply smiled. The next thing I knew, a young girl in curls ran out the door screaming.
“Uncle Nic is going to get me . . . save me!”
She stopped on a dime when she saw me. Her sweet blue eyes lit up and she pointed to me. “You are very pretty. Who are you?”
Nic was by my side, kissing me gently on the cheek. “This is Gabi, squirt. Gabi, this is squirt. Otherwise known as Kira.”
I bent down and offered my hand to her. “It’s so nice to meet you, Kira.”
She wore a wide smile. “Are you Uncle Nic’s girlfriend?”
Opening my mouth, I wasn’t sure how to answer that.
Nic answered for me. Scooping up the little girl, he threw her over his shoulder. “She is, but you’ll always be my number one girl.”
Joy danced through my heart at Nic telling Kira I was his girlfriend. Even though it was only our second date, the declaration felt right.
Squeals of delight came from her mouth. “Yay!”
My heart melted as I watched Nic play with his niece. He’d make a wonderful father. A slow ache began to build. I’d never really longed for a family of my own. In that moment it was all I could do to not dream of that with Nic.
Too. Soon.
These feelings were happening way too fast. Peeking over to Kilyn and Thano, they were gazing at me like I was the best thing since apple pie.
“Gabi! Gabi! Come play hide and seek!”
I quickly made my way out into the yard with Nic and Kira.
“Okay, well you guys have fun. I’m taking my wife inside for a bit.”
Kilyn giggled and let Thano led her into the house. My mouth fell open. Turning, I looked at Nic.
“Are they?”
He tossed his head back and laughed. “I guess they saw an opportunity and took it.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle. “I guess so!”
Nic opened the door to his condo and motioned for me to go in first. Following, I gasped when I saw the view before my eyes.
“Wow. Why in the world would you want to move with a view like this?”
He set the three bags of groceries down on his kitchen island. “I don’t know. A change would be nice. I figured I’m almost thirty-one, buying a house seemed like the next step.”
Walking to the wall of glass, I looked out at the sun dipping below the mountains. This was why I decided to stay in this city. I was ready to put my past behind me and start dreaming about the future. And Nic was the person I wanted to do that with. But could I start a relationship with someone I was so drawn to on a lie?
He spoke and I jumped. “And if you hadn’t backed out of the bidding war, I might not be talking about the little blue house I’m closing on in a month.”
I laughed as I spun back around and helped him take out the fixings for lasagna. “I did love that house, and I’m sad I let it go.”
“I happen to know the new owner. I bet he’d let you come and have a sleepover.”
My lower stomach pulled. “Hmm . . . tempting offer.”
Sparks seemed to ignite the air as we both stood and stared at one another. I finally broke the stare down. “Are you sure you want me to make lasagna?”
“Hell yes I’m sure,” Nic said as he pulled out the long loaf of fresh Italian bread we had just bought. I laughed when he took a bite off the end of it.
“If we were at my house, you’d be eating it with fresh pasta.”
Nic sauntered over to me, placed his hands on my hips, and pulled me to him. “If we were at your place, Charity would be pushing us to the bedroom and probably telling me the correct way to use my dick.”
Laughing, I hit him on the shoulder. “You’re so bad, right, but bad.”
He quickly kissed me on the cheek. “I’ll put some music on and you get to cooking dinner for me, woman.”
Colbie Caillat’s soft voice came through the speakers and I couldn’t help but smile. “I love her!” I called back over my shoulder.
I felt him before he touched me. The hairs on my neck stood and my lower stomach dropped as his hand moved around and rested on my stomach. He pulled me back against him and I rested my head on his massive chest.
His hot breath tickled my skin while he teased me with his lips.
“I’ve been wanting to tell you all day how heavenly you smell.”
I could only respond with a, “Mmm.”
“So good, I’ve been fighting the urge to explore your body to see if every inch of you smells just as divine.”
“Nic,” I whispered in a needy voice.
He placed a soft kiss under my ear before moving his hand up to my breasts. He rubbed his thumb over my nipple and I could feel it straining against my bra. “I’m going to make you come so hard you’ll see stars.”
My legs went weak and his grip on me tightened.
“Yes,” I gasped. I didn’t even care how needy that made me sound. I couldn’t stop thinking about his touch. Dreaming of what his face would feel like between
my legs.
He turned to me. “I want to touch you now, Gabi. Hear my name fall from your lips as you come.”
“Touch me, Nic. Please.”
Before I even knew what was happening, I was in his arms and he was walking us to his bedroom. My heart started beating faster.
“We won’t do anything you don’t want to do, but I want to see that pretty Italian pussy of yours.”
My face buried into his chest as it burned with embarrassment. Nic stopped walking.
“Look at me, Gabi.”
I did as he asked. “Don’t ever be embarrassed by your body. It’s perfect in every single way.”
Chewing on my lip, I craved to do anything I possibly could for this man to make him happy.
“I promise I won’t be,” I softly said as I gazed into his beautiful hazel eyes.
His eyes turned dark as he headed into his bedroom. Gently sliding me down his body, he smiled a smile that knocked me out of my socks. “Tell me what you want me to do, agapiméni. I want to hear it from your lips how you want me to make you come.”
My cheeks heated again. This man was going to kill me.
“I . . . I um . . .”
Closing my eyes, I shook my head. I’d never been open with a man before. Telling them what my fantasies were. I certainly couldn’t do it with him.
Warm hands cupped my face. “Look at me.”
My eyes snapped open and looked deep into his. His stared deep into my soul while he slowly spoke. “Tell me . . . how you want . . . me to make . . . you orgasm.”
I swallowed hard. I knew exactly how I wanted him to do it.
“Start with your hand and then . . . then—”
My eyes drifted down to his mouth. The left corner slowly rose into the sexiest smile I’d ever seen in my entire life. “Keep talking, baby.”
Chewing on my lip, I dug deep down inside and said the words I’d been thinking. “I want you to use your mouth.”
A full-blown knock-me-the-hell-over smile spread over his face.
“That’s my good girl. I think the lasagna is going to have to wait a few more minutes.”
I let out a nervous chuckle. Nic dropped to his knees but kept his eyes on me. When his hands grabbed my waist, I gasped. He slowly pulled my yoga pants down. He moaned when he saw the baby blue lace panties I had on underneath.
“Blue just became my new favorite color.”
Smiling, I fought the urge to reach for my own breasts. The heat of his stare alone was beginning to start the buildup.
I stepped out of my pants and Nic tossed them to the side. When he pushed his face into my panties, I moaned and dug my fingers into his thick dark hair. His long intake of air caught me off guard and caused my lower stomach to pull with a desire I’d never in my life experienced before.
“Jesus,” I whispered.
“Damn, baby, you smell so fucking good.”
I couldn’t pull my eyes off of him. The way he was worshiping my body had me trembling with anticipation. All I could smell was Nic. Everywhere. My eyes quickly searched his room.
Dark grey covered the walls. The furniture was beautiful. It looked antique and had an old-world charm to it. I instantly loved everything about the room and I had a feeling I would love it even more when Nic was finished with me.
I gasped as his finger traced along the top of my panties. My heartbeat increased tenfold when he slowly pulled them off. I stood there, my entire lower body exposed to this man. A man I’d only known for a few days.
“So fucking beautiful. Lay down on the bed, agapiméni. I want a better look at those pretty pink lips of yours.”
Oh. My. God.
I was going to explode the moment he touched me. I walked backward until Nic jumped up and pulled me to a stop.
“I need to see all of you.”
He lifted my T-shirt over my head and moaned when he saw the matching baby-blue push-up bra.
“You’re going to kill me, Gabi.”
I couldn’t help the smile that spread over my face. I’d never been treated like that before. Like I was his everything.
Nic stepped closer. My breathing increased as he reached his one hand up and traced his finger along my cleavage. The other hand moved to my back and like an expert, he had my bra undone and falling to the ground. He took two stumbled steps back.
“Goddamn, I’ve never seen anything so beautiful in my life.”
I stood before him completely naked and exposed while he raked his eyes over my body. The greedy, hungry look in them had me growing hotter by the second. I knew if I touched myself I’d be soaking wet.
“Touch yourself, Gabi.”
A lump formed in my throat. Had I said that out loud? “W-what?”
His eyes met mine. “Touch. Yourself.”
With a shaky hand, I slowly moved between my legs. I swept my fingers over my clit and gasped.
“Are you wet? Slip your fingers in and tell me if you’re wet.”
“Oh God,” I whispered as I did what he asked. A long slow hiss came from my lips.
“Yes.” My cheeks heated. Closing my eyes, I softly said, “So wet for you, Nic.”
He grabbed my wrist and pulled my hand up to his lips. Opening my eyes, my mouth slacked open as he pushed the two fingers I had just had inside of me into his mouth. Closing his eyes, he moaned as he sucked and ran his tongue over my fingers.
Ohmygawd. Hottest moment of my life. I swear I’m going to come any second.
Slowly taking my fingers from his mouth, he smiled. “You taste better than I could have imagined.”
“Nic, please.”
A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Lay down.”
I did as he asked. Almost scrambling to get on my back. The way he crawled on the bed and over me had me pressing my legs together. I needed friction. Anything to ease the ache.
And with four words whispered from his mouth, I fell from the ledge. Free falling into the most amazing moment of my life.
“Spread your legs, Gabi.”
HER BODY TREMBLED as she spread her legs open for me. I almost dropped to the floor when I saw that beautiful sight before me. Lips so soft and pink they were begging for my tongue to tease them. A pussy so wet it glistened with her desire.
Fuck if I didn’t want to bury my cock so deep inside her she would feel me for a week.
Slow. This is for her. Not you.
My fingertips moved lightly up her thighs while I placed soft kisses along the path that lead to paradise.
Moving my lips closer, I blew on her clit. Her hips bucked. Grabbing her, I held her down.
“I’m going to keep sucking and licking on your pussy until your body stops shaking.”
Her head thrashed back and forth as her hands grabbed at my comforter.
“Nic! God please!”
I loved hearing her beg.
“Touch your breasts, agapiméni. Let me see you play with your nipples.”
She was so fucking responsive to everything. The moment her hands went to her breasts I was fighting the urge not to take her.
Then she twisted and pulled at her nipples and I about lost all control.
“Fucking hell, Gabi.”
“Nic!”
Keeping my eyes on her, I moved my tongue slowly through her soft, pink lips.
“Yes!” She hissed.
I wanted to go slow, but once I got a taste of that sweet pussy, I got greedy and pushed my face into her. Sucking and licking. There was no way I would ever be satisfied.
“Ohmygawd!” Gabi cried out.
I sucked, licked, and devoured her. Something inside of me changed, and I knew I had to make Gabi mine. The thought of any other man touching her boiled my skin. I would be the last man to ever touch this body. I would own this pussy.
Her body began to tremble and I knew she was close.
Glancing up, I almost died. She was leaning up on her arms watching me. The moment our eyes met, she lost it. Dropping back to the bed, sh
e cried out my name as her orgasm raced through her body.
When she finally came down from her high, I slowly crawled up her body, placing kisses all over her. I stopped and gave each nipple attention before moving to be face-to-face with her.
“I want to kiss you, Gabi. Make you taste how fucking sweet you are.”
Her mouth dropped slightly open. When her tongue barely licked over her lips, I knew that was her answer. Pressing my lips to her, she opened up to me again. I moaned as her tongue danced slowly with mine. Hands laced through my hair as she gave it a small tug, causing me to moan into her mouth.
Fuck. I wanted this girl so damn bad. Pressing my hard dick against her, she wrapped her leg around me, lifting her hips to get more friction. The more we kissed, the more my hips moved against her and before I knew it, Gabi was calling out my name again. I couldn’t wait until the day I could take her and really make her mine.
When her body stopped trembling, she opened her eyes and looked at me. Then Gabi whispered one word.
“Stars.”
Her fingers ran lightly through my hair and I couldn’t get over how beautiful she looked with the afterglow of her orgasms on her cheeks.
“You’ve wrecked me for any other man. Do you know that?”
With a chuckle, I kissed her lips. “Good. Because after that, I’m going to need to have you in my bed every single day.”
Her eyes sparkled before she glanced down to the bulge in my pants. “What about you? Do you want me to . . .” Shy eyes looked back into mine.
“Don’t worry about me, prinkipissa.”
Her teeth sunk into her lip. Soft hands trailed down my chest. Pushing out, Gabi pushed me onto my back.
Trembling hands unbuttoned my pants while she continued to worry her lip.
We both laughed as she tried to pull my jeans off.
Kicking off my shoes, I lifted my hips and pushed them down.
With a gasp, Gabi stared at my dick before peeking back at me. “You were commando.”
With a wink, I replied, “I’m almost always commando.”
A beautiful shade of red moved over her cheeks before she looked back down at me. I quickly pulled my jeans off and tossed them to the side. I wanted this to be about Gabi, but hell if I wasn’t a greedy bastard. I needed to feel her lips around my cock.
