Gabe: The Alvarez Security Series (9 page)

He noted with irritation that she pulled into the alley behind a four-story brick building, in an older section of town, a block from where she had met with her brother. She hopped out of the truck before he was able to get out to assist, a habit of hers that he wanted to change.

A back door flung open and an older man was calling out a greeting by the time Gabe made it to her side. The man hustled over ready to protect her. Gabe was impressed with the man’s loyalty but unhappy that he was the only line of defense that she had if there was a problem. Something that he wanted to rectify as soon as he could.

“Hey Henry, it’s okay. This is a…friend of mine, Gabe Malloy. Gabe, this is Henry. He runs the center here.”

Gabe stepped up and shook Henry’s hand. “Good to meet you, sir. Why don’t you and Jennifer go inside where it’s warm and I’ll bring the boxes in.” He noticed Henry glanced to Jennifer, then watched approvingly as Henry hustled her in out of the cold.

Stacking the boxes, he brought them into a warm if old, well-lit industrial kitchen. Seeing Henry pat the counter, he set the boxes down, watching Jennifer immediately dig in. Unsure what to do next, he stepped back and watched her in action, admiring the look of joy on her face as she opened the bags. She had thrown off her old jacket and for the first time was able to admire her body. Her sweatpants were worn but cupped a delicious ass, every bit as marvelous as he remembered the one time he was able to ogle her in the alley. As she turned away from the industrial-sized freezer, he saw that her figure was indeed stunning. Tiny, but curvy. And in all the right places. Suddenly the idea of a tall, scrawny model with fake tits seemed unappealing. But the vision in front of him—blonde curls framing a fairy face with a petite body to die for—was perfection.

“Are you back, girl?” a female voice called from the doorway. “Do you need something warm to drink?” An older woman headed into the kitchen, bustling with energy, stopping quickly when she saw Gabe.

“Cora, this is a friend of mine who helped me tonight. This is Gabe. And this wonder-woman is Henry’s wife, Cora.

“Pleasure to meet you Cora,” he said smoothly, offering his hand.

She shook his hand, her eyes moving quickly between his and Jennifer’s. “I didn’t know you had anyone helping you dear, but I’m so glad you do.” Turning back to Gabe, she said, “I’ll make some hot chocolate.”

He looked over at Jennifer, seeing her smile light up the room.

“You’ve never tasted anything like Cora’s hot chocolate,” she effused.

Cora blushed and patted her hand. “I’ll take some up to Ross.”

Jennifer’s smile dropped and a look of panic crossed her face.
Ross? Oh my God, I can’t introduce him to Gabe. Not now.

Gabe saw the expression change and knew what was going through her mind. As much as he wanted to stay, he moved over and said, “Hey, I know it’s late. I’d better be going.”

“No,” she said quickly. “I mean, not if you don’t want to. Ross is my brother and he’s…”

“Upstairs and almost ready for bed. We’ll just go check on him,” Cora finished, pulling Henry out of the kitchen with her.

Gabe looked down, seeing the look of uncertainty in Jennifer’s eyes. “You can go to him if you need,” he said softly as he walked over to her. Cupping her tiny face in his large hands, he tilted it upwards so he could see her eyes. Crystalline blue eyes framed by blonde curls, peering at him. He saw them dilate with desire and that was all he needed. Bending down he placed a soft kiss on her lips. Chaste. Not hungry. Just a gentle touch.

She felt the slight pressure on her lips and before she could stop, a moan came from deep inside of her. All of her being was tied up in that moment just at the touch of their lips and the feel of his hands around her face. Suddenly the idea of him leaving was unbearable and she reached up to grasp his arms, her fingers wrapping around his sleeves feeling the muscles below. Opening her mouth, she licked his lips, eliciting another moan, this time coming from him.

Losing all sense of control, Gabe growled into her mouth as his tongue plunged into the sweetness, exploring deeply. Meeting her tongue, they began a duel deep inside of her warm mouth. He picked her up as though she weighed nothing and set her on the kitchen counter without breaking the kiss. One large hand continued to hold her face while the other one crept around her back pulling her close.

With her legs spread apart at the edge of the counter and his massive body between them, she was at the right height to feel his erection pressing against her core. She began to rub herself on him, desperate for the friction that was sending electricity throughout her body. Feeling herself become wet, she increased her undulations while his hand slowly slid from her back around toward her breasts.

Gabe’s hand stopped directly underneath her breasts, waiting for permission to continue their exploration. He felt her moan again as she continued to rub herself on his swollen dick.
Jesus, she’s going to undo me
, he thought as he tried to maintain composure. But his cock had other ideas. For a military man trained to have his body under complete control, he felt all semblance of control slipping.

Moving his hand upwards to cup her breast, he felt its heaviness as he palmed it, feeling the nipple harden. He rolled the nipple through her shirt and bra, desperate to have her naked and underneath him.
Soon, very soon.

Jennifer began to feel the tension building deep inside radiating from her pussy outwards.
More, I need more
. Her hands had moved from his huge arms to his neck and then higher to cup his stubble covered jaw. His lips, soft and yet unyielding continued to kiss her senseless until her only thought was to reach the pinnacle.

She felt his hands move from her breasts down to her pants, sliding them under the waistband. He hesitated, giving her control. She had no control. All she wanted was to feel. For just a little while to feel. No responsibilities. Nothing but pleasure. Grasping his head, she pulled him back for another kiss.

He slid his hand down the front cupping her mound, loving the gasp that escaped her lips. Moving the wispy material of her panties to the side, he found her wet as he slid his fingers through her lips and circled her clit. Her gasp became a desperate plea for more. Moving a thick finger inside, he plunged it into her waiting pussy.

Not able to think about anything other than the feelings radiating throughout her body, she raised her legs, wrapping them around his hips pulling him closer. He added another finger inside her tight pussy and began scissoring them, touching her in places that had long been dormant.

Climbing higher and higher, she knew she was close and every fiber in her being screamed for that elusive release.

Watching her face with her eyes closed and her blonde curls hanging about her shoulders had Gabe entranced. He knew she was close and wanted to watch her as she fell apart.
Jesus, I’ve never cared about watching a woman before.
Other than the male satisfaction of knowing he had brought a woman to orgasm, he was never concerned about watching them, but now found that he would not have been able to take his eyes off of her if his life depended on it.

Crooking his finger deep inside, he felt the slick walls of her pussy contract as her fingers dug into his shoulders, holding on as though he were the only thing keeping her intact. “Let it go, baby. Just let it happen,” he softly ordered as he watched the blush form at the top of her breasts and rise to her face.

Feeling the heat of her blush, Jennifer obeyed and let go. The orgasm rushed over her taking her with it. With her head thrown back, she felt the sparks radiate from her pussy outwards. Her mind void of everything other than the avalanche of feelings, she collapsed forward, her head pressed to his chest.

Gabe slowly pulled his fingers out and slid them into his mouth, loving the taste of her. She watched him through barely open eyes, amazed at how erotic it was to have a man taste her. He moved her panties back into place and pulled her head back up to see her eyes.

“I want to see you, baby. I want to make sure you’re all right,” he continued to order.

She raised her face to his, stunned at the concern she saw in his eyes. “I’m good,” she said shyly. A small giggle escaped as she admitted, “I’m really good.”

“Oh, baby. You were more than good.” He leaned in for a kiss and she could taste herself on his lips, another first for her.

As the high of her orgasm began to slowly fade, realization crept in.
Oh my God. I’m sitting on the kitchen counter where anyone could walk in and see me. Jesus, what is wrong with me?

Gabe felt it the second that she began to doubt what she was doing. Cupping her face, he stilled her. “Baby, listen to me. Don’t regret what happened. Please. It was too important. Too important to both of us.”

His words settled in, but she looked at him in confusion. “Important? Gabe, I’m not the kind of woman who just does this. Ever.”

“Baby, look at me.”

She lifted her eyes to his, searching for sincerity.

“This was important to me too. You’re different. You’re someone I wanna get to know. I wanna take care of. In all ways.”

She licked her lips, taking in his words as her eyes dropped to his waist. Seeing his jeans, straining at the crotch, she suddenly blurted, “But you. We didn’t take care of you.”

“That’s okay, baby. This was about you. This was all about you tonight.”

“Gabe, I don’t understand what’s happening. I just met you and we’ve made out three times. This is so not me. I’m nobody. You see where I live…in a building where I pay a low rent because I help out with the center. These elderly people depend on me. I have… responsibilities. Ross. My job. I can’t…”

“Shhh,” he scolded, placing his fingers on her lips. The same fingers that had just been deep inside of her. She could still smell herself on them, eliciting another slight moan.

He watched her face, knowing the emotions were overwhelming.
Hell, they’re overwhelming for me too. Never done that. Just got a woman off and was willing to walk away without getting off too. And fuck. She was perfect. Is perfect.

“Don’t overthink this. We feel something. Something big. Let’s just let it go and see where it takes us.”

At this, she gave a small nod. “Yeah,” she whispered. “I’d like that.”

“Good. Then I’ll say goodnight. When can I see you again? Do you have plans for Saturday?”

“No,” she said shaking her head in thought. “But Gabe?” Doubt crossed her face again.

“What baby?”

“There’s a lot you don’t know. About me, I mean.”

“We’ve got time. Nothing but time to learn all about each other,” he said gently.

“No, you don’t understand. I’ve got Ross. He’s my brother and well, he’s only eight years old. I’ve never had him around men. I mean a man that I was…um…whatever we’re doing.”

He watched her struggle but,
Damn, she’s adorable when she’s confused.
“I get it. I really do. But I’d like to get to know both of you.”

She lifted her eyes to peer deeply into his. “I can’t risk having him grow attached to you, knowing that you could walk out at any moment.”

He felt his chest squeeze at the love she had for her brother. “Jennifer, there are no guarantees in life, but I’ll promise you this. I’ll never just walk out. I’ll never just leave him, or you, hanging.”

Sucking in a deep breath, hoping she was not making a mistake, she smiled up at him. “Okay. Then I’d love to see you on Saturday.”

Giving her a quick kiss, he reached over to her bag and pulled out her cell phone, quickly entering his number and memorizing hers. Lifting her off the counter, he linked his fingers with hers as he walked to the door. “See you Saturday, babe,” he said as he captured her lips once more in a kiss. This one was slow. Soft. Gentle. Full of the promise of things to come.

As she shut and locked the door behind him, she quickly finished in the kitchen and hurried up the stairs. Cora was just coming out of the apartment, having heard Jennifer on the stairs. With a smile on her caring face, she asked, “So, did you and your young man have a chance to talk?”

“Well…I have a date for Saturday,” she confessed.

Cora grabbed her in a hug, pulling her close. “Oh darling girl, I’m so glad. It’s about time you took care of you and not just everyone else.”

Saying goodnight, Jennifer slipped inside the apartment and checked on Ross, who was already asleep. Looking down at his boyish face resting in slumber, she hoped she wasn’t making a mistake.
Oh Ross, I hope this is a good thing for you. He seems like such a good man and I’d love for you to be able to be around someone like him.

Closing his door, she got ready for bed and slipped between the sheets. Her mind wandered to the evening, amazed at how it ended. And for once, she didn’t need her little pink vibrator. Still sated from her orgasm, she smiled as she drifted off to sleep. And this time the giant in her dreams became the handsome prince.

Across town, Gabe
headed into the shower, his thoughts full of the evening as well. The smile never left his face as he remembered the look on her face as she flew apart in his arms with his fingers deep inside of her. Leaning one hand on the shower wall, he grasped his cock with his other hand working it until he came, the thoughts of being buried deep inside of her making his hand seem like a poor substitute.
