The Honeymoon Period (The Austin Series) (12 page)

‘O God,
right now all I can think is I’d better get dressed and go and deal with Gabe
and I’ll speak to you tomorrow if that’s ok?’ I asked and she nodded.

‘Sure,’ she
nodded.

‘God, I
can’t stop shaking.’

‘I’ll grab
you a drink, it’s hit you now the adrenaline’s worn off.’ She led me to her
dressing table and disappeared as I undid the collar and cuffs with my
trembling fingers and looked at myself in the mirror and shook my head. I’d so
enjoyed that at the time, but having seen his reaction at the end, now I was
thinking what a huge mistake I’d just made. Given his temperament over the last
few weeks it barely took anything to set him off, I steeled myself for a rough
night with him and heard my phone go off and got it out of my bag to see a
text.

Get yourself
fully dressed and out here RIGHT now Mia. We’re leaving. Don’t make me come in
there and fucking drag you out

I muttered ‘
Shit
’
and texted him back.

Remember
you promised not to get mad or make a scene in public. I did it for you Gabe. I
love you M xx

I put my
face in my hands and felt a hand on my back.

‘Here
honey, knock it back. I saw him out there, prettier than he looked on that
passport photo you showed me, but he’s pacing like a caged tiger. I think you’d
better go and see him before he gets himself into trouble.’

‘Thanks
Cindy,’ I downed it in one and stood up and she passed me my dress which I
wrapped and tied around me thinking how unimpressed Gabe would be to be called
“pretty” by her. ‘Wish me luck.’

‘He’ll calm
down, Mia. Most of the girls here get that reaction when their partners see
them for the first time.’

‘I hope so.
Thanks so much Cindy, I actually really enjoyed it while I was out there. I’ll
call you tomorrow.’ I kissed her on both cheeks, gave her a hug and headed for
the exit door. I stuck my head out and peaked around into the audience area.
Virtually everyone was sitting facing the stage where another girl was
performing, or in the lap dance area or at the bar, so it was easy to spot him
pacing back and forth, running his hands through his hair. Just seeing him in
his suit, with his shirt unbuttoned showing some of his chest made me hot for
him. He looked so good, except his soft lips were set in a hard line and there wasn’t
a sign of the smile that made me fall for him. He suddenly stopped walking and looked
up, right at me and glared, pushing his jacket back and putting both hands on
his hips. Shit, that was a sure sign he was really,
really
mad.

He didn’t
move a muscle as I braved it and walked out and made my way toward him. I
pushed my shoulders back and kept my head held high, it was my life, my body and
I wasn’t going to let him see me grovel for forgiveness just because he was
pissed at me. A few guys must’ve recognised me and started whooping and
whistling in my direction, which made his face go even darker. I walked over
and stood in front of him and tilted my head and gave him my best smile as I
tucked my hair behind my ear. I could feel the tension radiating off him, but
it affected me sexually to know that I could get to him so badly. I took a deep
breath, licked my lips and felt my nipples harden under the pasties and push against
the material of my dress and I saw him react.

He shifted
his stance and his eyes flitted down my body, so I took the opportunity to glance
at his crotch, already knowing what I’d see and smiled to myself. He grabbed my
hand and walked ahead quickly, pulling me behind him out of the club, through
the exit door and out onto the pavement. He looked so furious and focussed on
getting me into a taxi that he totally missed my gasp of surprise as we walked
past Adam, the guy whose nose I’d broken. He did a double take at us and I was
sure I heard him spit out the words
‘Fucking bitch’
as I looked back at
him and saw him make to follow us. Gabe was on a serious mission though and I
made extra sure I kept up as he virtually dragged me toward the only waiting
taxi and bundled me into it and barked his address at the driver. I felt a
sizzle as our thighs touched when he sat next to me and I looked at him, but he’d
turned his head to look out of the window. I quickly looked behind me to see
Adam standing on the pavement watching us drive away and I stayed watching,
holding my breath, until I was sure that there were no other taxi’s that he
could jump in to follow us. I felt sick enough as it was with Gabe’s mood, but
the thought of such a close encounter with Adam, when he obviously held a
grudge toward me wasn’t helping. It only made me more convinced that it was him
that had been the cause of Gabe’s accident and I felt a cold shiver run through
my body and turned to look at him.

‘Gabe,
please say something, you haven’t said a word to me.’ I put my hand on his
thigh, in sudden need of comfort and swore I heard him inhale sharply, but I got
no verbal response. I decided not to let him get to me. I wanted to feel safe
again and I moved closer, putting my arm through his and lay my head on his solid
shoulder and felt a tiny give in his tense muscles. I ran my fingers up and
down his bicep feeling it flex underneath his suit and he squirmed in his seat.
The drive back seemed to take forever with the stony silence, but I could feel
the air around us heating up. He was waiting until we were alone and he was
going to let rip. I closed my eyes and resigned myself to the inevitable
argument, determined I wasn’t going to back down. I felt the taxi stop, and by
the time I released him and grabbed my purse he’d paid and got out, but he held
the door open for me so I smiled at him as I stood next to him on the pavement,
which earned me another scowl. God, he was so sexy when he was mad. He pulled
my hand again and walked quickly through the side gate and went to keep going,
but I pulled back on his hand and he turned and scowled at me.

‘I want you
to lock the gate. Please Gabe, I feel safer with it locked at night,’ I begged.
He frowned at me, looking puzzled, but did as I asked, then grabbed my hand
again and marched quickly along the gravel drive. It was easier for me to
follow than the last time in these boots, given I wasn’t pissed, but still five
inch heels and gravel weren’t a good combination, but at least he slowed down
when I stumbled. We made it to the front door and as I walked up the step to
stand next to him he took me by surprise. He grabbed me, swung me around,
pushed me back against the door and stood facing me, inches away, his hands
gripping my upper arms. My pulse spiked and I felt my skin flush as I parted my
lips slightly, trying to keep up with my sudden need for oxygen as I looked
into his furious eyes, not sure what he was going to do. Suddenly he was on me,
his hands in my hair, mouth aggressive against mine as his tongue forced its
way in and he rammed his pelvis into mine grinding hard. I whimpered as his
kisses made me quiver and I reached up to grasp his hair as well.

He let go
of my head, grabbed my hands and slammed them back down on the door next to my
hips and stepped back, quickly tugging at the ties on my dress, undoing them and
yanked it open, leaving me panting and so wet for him. He wasn’t in love making
mode like earlier, he needed to fuck his anger out. He grabbed both of my
breasts and I yelped as he pulled off the nipple tassels as his eyes bored into
mine, watching my reaction to the pain of the adhesive pulling away from my
sensitive, tender flesh, before his teeth were on one and he bit hard and
sucked.

‘Owwww,
Gabe,’ I cried out and he shoved his fingers in my mouth so I bit them back
just as hard as he was biting me. He worked his way aggressively around the one
breast before clamping back down on the other, biting until I screamed his name
and begged him to stop. I scowled at him and shoved his shoulders in protest,
but he didn’t even sway as he went to work, loosening the ribbons on each side
of my knickers until they fell off. When he looked back up at me, his face was
so full of hunger for me that I automatically moved my right foot out to part
my legs, as he ripped his zip down and tussled himself out of his boxers and
came straight at me. He didn’t even check I was ready, he knew me well enough
to know I was and he bit down on my neck as he guided himself between my legs
and thrust straight up into me with the force of a battering ram.

‘FUCK,’ he
yelled as I groaned. I was that aroused he slid into me so far, I felt like
something inside me was going to rupture. He stayed biting my neck all over as
I lifted my left leg and wrapped it behind him and he held it in place, while
his left hand palmed the front door to support himself as his pelvis worked,
moving him in and out of me in long, deep firm strokes. I came in under a
minute, quaking and swearing as I gripped his supporting arm, my nails digging
into his bulging bicep, my other hand tugging at his hair as he grunted, trying
to stop him biting me. I felt weak from having been hit so hard and fast, but
he showed no signs of stopping and made me come again as he continued to viciously
bite my neck and shoulder. I yanked his hair really hard, which forced his head
back to look at me, his eyes were like lagoons of lava, the heat boiling over
and burning into me and suddenly he grabbed my bottom with his left hand and stepped
closer, shoving me up the door and off the floor. I wrapped my right arm around
his neck and both legs around his waist as his right hand pushed into my hair.

‘You’re
mine
,
Mia,’ he snapped before coming in to kiss me again.

‘Gabe,’ I
sighed into his mouth as I gripped the back of his head to keep him kissing me.
He held me up with one arm and the pressure of his chest against mine, his legs
rooted to the ground as he started to fuck me faster. He didn’t come off my
mouth as my third orgasm hit me and I mumbled obscenities into his mouth, my
muscles milking him hard, but still he carried on. I felt so overwhelmed by the
quick succession of my orgasms that I started to cry and yanked his hair again to
pull him off my face and let me take in a huge gasp of air. ‘Gabe, please … I
can’t take anymore, come for me, I need … you to come.’ I looked at his face
contorted and focused. The nervous shy boy who I’d made love to earlier had
gone, this was Gabe in all his manly dominance.

‘No,’ he
growled, then bit my ear. ‘You belong to me Mia, and when you ache tomorrow,
every time you move, you’re going to remember why. I fuck you this well, no one
else. You’re mine.’ He moved back to my neck again biting really hard. I
started to sob as another crescendo started inside me.

‘Gabe, I’m
yours … I’m always … yours … no matter what I do, please … please stop.’ I
screamed as my whole body trembled with another orgasm and I slid down as my bones
turned to liquid. My body sagged against him and my forehead dropped onto his
shoulder, yet still he showed no signs of stopping. ‘I love you … stop punishing
me …
love
me,’ I whispered between gasps for air. I felt him tense and
he gave one final hard thrust into me and roared my name as he came hard, jerking
again and again as I cried on his shoulder. I let my legs drop and he caught me
and wrapped his arms around me, squashing me against his chest, his cock
entombed inside me, still rock hard.

‘Nothing
you ever do will stop me loving you Mia, but it doesn’t mean I’m not going to
get fucking mad with you,’ he hissed.

‘You
promised you wouldn’t get mad,’ I sniffed as I nuzzled his neck.

‘Jesus Christ
Mia, how the fuck did you think I’d react seeing you up there?’

‘I thought it’d
turn you on,’ I whispered.

‘O it
turned me on alright, me and half the fucking city,’ he snapped.

‘It wasn’t
for them, it was for
you
, only for you. I wanted to do something for
you, to make you feel better. You’ve been so grumpy since your accident and I
thought it would cheer you up.’

‘You could’ve
done it at home for me,’ he sighed sounding a bit softer.

‘You
haven’t got a pole.’

‘Then I’m
building one into the apartment plans tomorrow, because you looked so fucking
hot baby.’ His lips touched my cheek. ‘All I could think about was how hard I
wanted to fuck you, to mark you and let everyone know you were mine.’

‘I’m always
yours Gabe, I only ever looked at you.’ I felt a hand stroking my hair and his
lips followed the trail.

‘I know
baby, I saw that. I also saw you doing the splits and working the moves and a
pole like it was your full time job. How the hell did you do that?’

‘I took
dance until I was seventeen, I’ve always been flexible and I’ve been working
really hard on training for this for the last four weeks.’

‘I’ll say,
I knew you’d developed more muscles.’

‘So how
long are you going to be mad at me for?’ I sighed.

‘I’m so bloody
furious you did it without my knowledge Mia, but I also love that you went to
all that trouble to please me.’

‘You’d
never have let me do it if you’d known.’ I rubbed my cheek on his shoulder.

‘Too
fucking right I wouldn’t have.’

‘So you
wouldn’t let me do it again?’

‘I told you
we’re installing a pole in the apartment, that’s how much I want to see you do
it again.’

‘And what
about there, at Peppers.’

‘What?’ he
pulled my hair so I had to look up at him.
