The Honeymoon Period (The Austin Series) (40 page)

‘This is
how I want you most of the weekend, you don’t need to pack a dressing gown.
Hmmm, I’m almost tempted to blow off dinner and eat you instead.’ The look he
gave me was so hot, I felt my knees go and he grabbed me by the waist and
laughed. ‘You’ve no idea what a turn on it is to see and feel you react to me,
Mia.’

‘In my
defence you’re very easy to react to. Please go or I’ll never get packed. And
tell Lexi to come in, I need her help with something.’

He kissed
me and ran his fingers through my hair hesitating and then sighed and left. I
pulled on some slouching clothes and grabbed my medium suitcase from under the
bed and packed some sexy underwear, stockings and suspenders and some casual
clothes and called Lexi in. I showed her what I was thinking of taking for the
dressy night and club night and she agreed. We argued over what shoes and bag
would go with my dress before agreeing on one set that would go with both
outfits and she went to get me some of her jewellery to go with the dress. When
she returned, I pulled out a box from under my bed and showed her a sexy dressing
up outfit I’d purchased and got the thumbs up so I packed that as well.

‘Are you
two actually going to leave your room?’ she asked amused.

‘I’d like
not to, on at least one day, but I do want to see the pandas and some of the
city.’

‘Sod it,
just shag all weekend. He’s not going to be able to keep his hands off you with
the stuff you’ve packed, Mia.’

‘Are you
going to be ok? This will be the longest we’ve been apart since we met.’ Even
when I was living at Gabe’s, Lexi had stopped over a few nights each week.

‘I’ll miss
you, Doug will be a poor substitute, but you’ll keep in touch, right?’

‘Yes and we’re
on for Sunday night as well, so be ready to leave at six and I’ll get ready as
soon as I get in.’

‘Brill, so
what were you two up to in here earlier? You were unusually quiet and it smells
lush.’

‘God, it
was amazing. He lit loads of candles and gave me a frangipani oil massage and
then made love to me.’

‘He makes
love? I thought he just fucked.’

‘Most of
the time yes, but then we have the odd time where we take it slow. It’s not as
earth moving, but it feels so raw and intimate, you know? We always feel closer
after doing it like that.’

‘Do you
realise how damn lucky you are? Control freakery aside.’

‘I do Lexi,
and I really want that for you as well. Promise to talk to Doug and work on it?’

‘Speaking
of, I think I can hear him. We done here? Let’s go and have a drink and head to
the lounge.’

We walked
into the kitchen and I smiled as Lexi kissed Doug and I kissed Gabe, who was
stirring up something that smelled delicious. Who’d have thought a couple of
months ago that we’d both be sitting here now with steady boyfriends? Lexi and
I grabbed a beer and went to the lounge leaving them in the kitchen. I closed
the curtains and dimmed the lights while Lexi put the fire on.

‘Shit, how
good do we have it, Mia? We get to put our feet up while the men cook for us.’

‘I know, I
was just thinking the same. If anyone had told us three months ago that you’d
be going steady and I’d be in love and moving in with a guy we’d have laughed
them out of the room.’

‘How long
before you knew you loved him?’

‘I think I
knew within days, but was too scared to even admit it to myself, let alone him.
I was one-hundred percent sure the day I booked the tattoo. Why?’

‘It’s been
longer than that with Doug and I’m not at the love stage,’ she sighed.

‘Do you
look forward to seeing him and spending time with him?’

‘Yes.’

‘So don’t
worry for now. Some people take ages to fall in love, Lex.’

‘Mia, you
were with Kai for three months and it never happened and you broke it off.’

‘I broke it
off because I knew it wasn’t going anywhere and I was moving away.’

‘Still, I
think if it doesn’t happen within a couple months, forget it.’

‘I don’t
think you can set a time limit on these things, Lexi. I was really lucky to
find Gabe and feel that so quickly, especially given my history. You haven’t
had any good male role models either, maybe you’re even more cautious than I
was.’

‘Maybe,’
she sighed and put her finger to her lips as the lounge door opened.

‘Ok bodacious
babes, dinners up, to the table,’ grinned Doug as he stuck his head round. I
laughed and kissed him on the cheek as we went past. I was really fond of him
and it was obvious he adored Lexi, but I was starting to worry about what was
going to happen between the two of them. Gabe had cooked us an amazing beef
stroganoff, with his usual favourite basmati and wild rice and fine green
beans. I ate left handed as he held my hand under table and I saw Lexi raise
her eyebrows and smile at me. The boys had fruit for dessert and Lex and I
cracked open some cookie dough from the freezer and they laughed at us moaning
as we ate it.

‘How do we
always get stitched up with the cooking and clear up?’ I asked as I closed the
dishwasher and set it after Doug and Lexi disappeared to the lounge.

‘Because if
we didn’t, we’d live on toast or take out and come home to the mess we did on
Sunday. So you all packed?’ he asked as he pinned me to the sink and slipped
his hands under my top to stroke my waist.

‘Yes and no
peaking in my case, there are a few surprises in there.’ I put my hands on his large
rounded biceps and looked up at him.

‘Ditto
baby. God, your skin feels even softer than normal,’ he purred.

‘Would you
enjoy it if I could do that to you?’

‘What,
stroke my waist?’

‘No,’ I
laughed. ‘Massage you.’

‘Would I
prefer my girlfriend rubbing oils into my body, instead of my male, built like
a brick shit house, Russian ex-Olympic sports therapist? Hell, yeah.’

‘Then you’ll
have to let me try one day and give me pointers. Why did you keep your boxers
on?’

‘To keep
the oil off my cock, you don’t want that inside you.’ 

‘Always so sexually
considerate.’ I tiptoed up to kiss him before grabbing his hand and leading him
to the lounge. He got in the recliner and parted his legs and patted for me to
sit in between them and rested his chin on my head, put his hands back up my top,
his fingers running back and forth over my stomach. I looked over at Lexi,
sitting upright facing the TV with Doug’s head on her lap and sighed. I really
wanted her to be as happy as I was, for it to work with Doug, but I could feel
her getting ready to quit.

‘You ok?’
Gabe whispered.

‘Yeah,’ I
nodded.

‘That was a
big sigh.’

‘Thinking
about something non us related, it’s nothing,’ I reassured him. He squeezed
tighter around me and kissed the top of my head and I put my hands under my top
to rest on top of his and yawned and closed my eyes. That massage had made me
so relaxed, I was ready for bed. I jumped when I heard a load of laughing and
felt Gabe nuzzling my ear. ‘What?’ I asked as I opened my eyes to see Doug and
Lexi chuckling at me.

‘Mia,
seriously, that’s too cute,’ laughed Doug.

‘You were
making funny noises again,’ added Lexi.

‘Seriously?
I feel asleep?’ I asked and they both nodded.

‘You did
baby and I think it’s time to get you to bed.’

‘But we
just sat down,’ I protested.

‘No we sat
down over an hour ago, you went out like a light. Come on, we’ve got to be up
at five.’ He let go of me and we all stood up and I went to give Doug a kiss.

‘Have a
great time, Mia,’ he smiled.

‘Thanks,
Doug. Keep an eye on this one for me will you and try not to get the place in
the state it was at the weekend,’ I warned.

‘Sure thing
and again, sorry about that.’

‘Thanks for
paying to clean it up.’ I turned to look at Lexi and she grabbed me into a bear
hug and I hugged her back and we just stood like that, swaying from side to
side.

‘I’m really
going to miss you,’ she mumbled.

‘You too
Lex, I’ll text you.’                                           

‘You bloody
better.’

‘We’ll be
back on Sunday you two,’ I heard Gabe say.

‘So?’ I replied
as we hung onto each other. ‘We’ve never been apart for that long.’

‘Seriously?’
he asked, sounding astonished.

‘Yes, ever
since we met at eleven. The longest we’ve gone without seeing each other is my
weekends with you, Gabe. Ok Lex, I have to go, we’ve a really early start and you’ve
got Doug to keep you company, ok?’

‘Suppose so,’
she sighed as she let me go.

‘Hey,
thanks a lot for the enthusiasm, Lex,’ ribbed Doug.

I kissed
her on the cheek as Doug and Gabe did their quick back pat hug thing and Gabe
grabbed my hand, pulled me out to the bathroom and we brushed our teeth,
stripped off and got into bed. I set my phone alarm for five and turned off the
light and snuggled up against him onto his outstretched arm.

‘You’ve
really never gone more than four days without seeing Lexi?’

‘No,’ I
replied, draping my leg over his and running my fingers across his stomach.

‘In
seven
years?’

‘Yes, why?’

‘I knew you
were close, just not that close,’ he said as he stroked my arm.

‘Of course we’re
that close. We boarded together for seven years and spent all our holidays
together. In case you haven’t noticed, we don’t really make friends that easily.’

‘Do you
resent me for taking up so much of your time? Time that you’d normally spend
with her?’

‘No, of
course I don’t resent you Gabe, I love you,’ I replied and kissed his chest. ‘It’s
just going to be weird not seeing her for so long, or being close enough to
come home if she needs me, but I haven’t been able to spend too much time with
her lately and that’s why it’s important for me to make an effort and not let
her down again. Don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with you, but she’s my
girlfriend and I need to have some quality girl on girl time with her too.’

‘Wow, you
just made that last sentence sound so hot,’ he groaned.

‘Gabe.’ I
slapped his stomach.

‘Owwww, I’m
teasing you. Though given you were in an all-girls school for so long have you
ever been with another girl?’

‘No I
haven’t, not even snogging and I don’t envision it ever happening unless one of
my top three made an offer. How did Lexi put it when she shocked you? O yes,
I’m a strictly cock girl and I’m very partial to yours.’

‘You’d
better only be partial to mine, but I’m very happy you love my cock as much as
I do,’ he replied. ‘Top three?’

‘That’s a
conversation for another night when I don’t have to get up at silly a.m.’

‘Well, I’m
sorry I buggered up last night for you both. I promise to make more of an
effort to give you space to have fun with her too.’ I felt his lips on the top
of my head.

‘Hmmm.’

‘Are you
dozing off again?’

‘Hmmm.’

‘Sleep
tight then baby, I love you.’

‘You too,’
I yawned and let his steady strong heartbeat lull me to sleep.
 

It was still dark as I watched
all the bright lights of the passing traffic as Riley drove us to the airport. I
had my head on Gabe’s shoulder as I looked out, amazed so many people were on
the roads at this hour and how dark it still was. Riley unloaded our two cases,
wishing us a safe trip.

‘This is weird,’
I said to Gabe as we walked hand in hand through the departures lounge.

‘What is?
You being up at this hour?’ he replied with a smile on his face.

‘Well yes,
that too. I meant being in an airport with you, being here with a guy on my own.’

‘Hmmm, yes,
I’ve never been away with a girl before. You never went away with a boyfriend?’

‘No.’

‘How many
guys have you dated?’

‘Do you
really want to have this conversation?’ I looked up at him surprised.

‘You
already told me no sex or oral, so why would it bother me?’

‘About forty
guys if you count a minimum of a week from first to last date.’ I wasn’t
telling him how many others I’d snogged, that was a huge list.

‘
Forty,
seriously?’

‘You said you
wouldn’t be bothered.’

‘Not in a
jealous way, I’m just amazed that out of forty guys you held off being serious or
having sex and then jumped straight in with me.’

‘You were
different, special. I just knew I wanted more,’ I blushed.

‘Just like
me with you.’ He tugged me to him and kissed me in the middle of the walkway, his
hand on my cheek and I let myself mould into his body, my hands on his chest
and sighed happily. I’d missed this Gabe so much. ‘Come on, I need caffeine,’
he said smiling as he saw my eyes had glazed over from his kiss. As he walked
past the coffee shops and restaurants and headed towards the private lounge, I
gave him a look. ‘It didn’t cost me any more baby, it’s part of the benefits of
my credit card.’

‘You get
private lounge access with your credit card? Damn, and I thought my Amazon
points were good,’ I laughed as we walked in.

We settled
down with a coffee and smoked bacon sandwich each, in a very comfortable
massage chair and it seemed only minutes when our flight was called. We boarded
and were two rows from the front. There were only two seats on the one side of
the aisle and one on the other.

‘Wow, I’ve
never been in such a small plane,’ I exclaimed and he smiled before offering me
the window seat. ‘I’d rather you take it Gabe, so I’m not tempted to lean on
your bad shoulder. Please do it for me,’ I added as he started to protest,
before doing as I asked. He gripped my hand as we taxi’d to the runway and even
tighter as the plane sped up to take off and I looked up at him.

‘Don’t you
like flying?’

‘I love
flying,’ he smiled.

‘You’re
gripping my hand kind of hard, like you’re nervous.’

‘Sorry, no
not nerves, I’m just excited. I’m flying away to spend some quality alone time
with my favourite girl,’ he lifted my hand and kissed it. I grinned like a
school girl and lay my head on his shoulder.

‘So what
sort of quality time did you have in mind?’

‘Well, I’ve
pre-arranged some things for this afternoon, but the evening’s free for
whatever you want to do. I was thinking the zoo Friday and we’ve a nice meal
booked that night. Saturday is free and I thought we could go clubbing Saturday
night and Sunday we can just lie in and relax.’

‘Sounds
perfect. What are the plans for this afternoon then?’

‘That would
be telling baby, it’s a surprise,’ he planted a tender kiss on my lips.

‘You spoil
me too much.’

‘You
deserve it Mia, you’ve had a rough few months with your diagnosis, op and then
having to look after me. You’ve had every reason to bail out of this
relationship and you haven’t and I love you all the more for it.’

‘Hmmm,
seems like you’re stuck with me for the duration I’m afraid.’

‘I hope so,
I plan on you being mine until I take my very last breath,’ he whispered
sincerely. I looked at him amazed, how did he say these things? Things that
made my eyes fill up and my heart ache for him? I leaned back on his shoulder
and willed myself not to cry as he put his arm around me and kissed my hair.

It was a very
short flight, we touched down at eight a.m. and collected our bags and exited
to see a driver holding up a
Mr. G. Austin
sign. He took our cases and lead
us outside to a waiting Merc and twenty minutes later we were at the hotel.
Gabe sat me down in the bright modern marbled foyer.

‘Can we
leave our bags somewhere until we can check in?’ I asked and looked at him
surprised as he laughed.

‘Baby, I
paid for last night as well so we could go straight to our room. I wasn’t going
to wait around until after lunch for housekeeping.’

I shook my
head again, I gave up with him and his spending. He went off to get our keys
and a porter came and took the cases. We followed him to the bank of lifts and
went up to the top floor. The porter opened the door for us and I walked in and
looked around the suite stunned while our bags were deposited and Gabe paid him
some money.

‘So?’ he
asked, slipping his hands around my waist from behind.

‘Gabe, it’s
amazing, you’ve spent far too much money.’ I stood in a large open plan area,
all in taupe’s, chocolates and white and it felt warm and cosy despite its size.
There was a large lounge area with a wall of bi-fold glass doors that overlooked
a small balcony with vistas to the old historic city and castle. Behind us was a
cream gloss small kitchen and a dining table on a raised platform. He took my
hand as we walked through the double frosted glass doors into the master suite.
The huge bed faced another wall of glass and the balcony and there were a
couple of leather tub chairs looking out over the view and a dressing table and
chair. A flat screen TV was on the left hand wall and looked as if it was on
hinges, so it could be pulled out and angled to the bed. Below it was a dark
wood unit housing iPod and iPad docking stations and a Blu-ray player. Philippe
Starck gold ghost lamps were on the dark wood bedside tables along with another
two iPhone docks. We walked through the dressing area to find a stunning modern
bathroom in taupe and slate, with a huge walk in shower and double ended bath
with a large flat screen TV at the end built into the tiles. This was plushness
personified.

‘Ok first
things first, before we unpack, are you hungry?’ asked Gabe.

‘I’m
ashamed to say yes.’

‘Great, me
too, I’ll order some room service. Trust me to order for you?’

‘Of course,’
I smiled as he headed into the lounge area. I watched him as he stood with his
back to me looking at the menu. His bottom was encased in his darkest blue
jeans, the ones he’d worn on our first date, so that made me love them even
more. He had a fitted white shirt which clung to his sculpted back and his
blond hair looked all messed up and sexy as it scraped the back of his collar.
I hoped he’d scheduled in some time for sex, I was ready for him. I quickly
unpacked my case and as I came out of the bathroom, after depositing my
toiletries, he was just finishing putting his items in the wardrobe. I walked
to him and put my arms around his neck and kissed him. ‘Thank you, you’re so
sweet arranging this for us.’

‘You won’t
think me sweet in a minute baby. I’m going to put my things in the bathroom and
when I come back I want you naked and on that bed ready for me with your legs
spread,’ he ordered. I sighed with pleasure and felt my body warm from my head
to my toes.

‘I was
hoping you were allowing us some time for sex.’

‘Well, I’ve
decided that we aren’t leaving this suite until tomorrow morning Mia, so you’d
better be prepared for plenty of sex,’ he winked. I reached down and ran my
hand across his crotch making him inhale quickly, as I skimmed over his erection.
He grabbed my bottom and pulled me close, pressing me into it.

‘What about
breakfast?’ I asked feebly.

‘We’re
going to eat baby, you’re going to need plenty of energy to keep up with me
this weekend, but before it comes I’d like to eat you.’ I felt a wave of
excitement come over me, even before he lowered his perfect lips over mine and
kissed me into a frenzy. I grasped at his bottom and back of his shoulder as I
moaned, my nipples forming stiff peaks that burrowed into his chest. He pulled
away, eyes closed and took a deep breath before opening them and dazzling me
with their blueness and desire. ‘Bed, naked, now,’ he ordered and I let him go
and quickly started to strip off my clothes as I walked to it, leaving a trail
behind me. I looked back at him as I crawled onto the bed on all fours pushing
my naked bottom in the air as I slid down onto my front.

‘I’m ready
for you baby,’ I whispered with a pursed kiss in his direction. He nearly
combusted and swore as he went into the bathroom and I rearranged myself lying
on my back on the plush thick duvet as requested and parted my legs, fanning my
loose hair out around me. I knew I was wet without even touching myself to
check. I could feel all the hair on my arms and neck standing on end, my skin prickling.
I gripped the cover below me impatiently, what the hell was he doing? He
appeared and stood at the foot of the bed and made a primal grunting noise as
he looked down at me impatiently waiting for him. I was confused, he was
wearing a pair of his low rise dark grey sweats and I wondered why he wasn’t
naked too. I licked my lips wetting them as I ran my eyes up and over his
washboard abs and firm pecs, I could clearly see where his solid dick ran diagonally
through his sweats, pushing them away from his body.

‘Damn, you
look delicious baby.’

‘Come try
me,’ I giggled. The giggle soon turned to a long low moan as he kneeled between
my legs and ran his hands over my body, caressing every inch of my torso and
breasts.

‘I love
this body Mia, and I love that it’s mine. Mine to kiss, lick, suck, fuck and
empty myself into whenever I want.’ My mouth went dry and my lips parted, he
knew exactly how to turn me on. ‘I love when you clamp down on me with those pouting
lips or your tight little cunt or arse. I also love that you want me so much
baby, as much as I want you.’

‘I do,’ I
whispered, beyond turned on. ‘I love when you force yourself into my mouth and
fuck it and the taste as I swallow your come. I love when you make love to me,
or ride me hard and I feel your huge solid cock filling any of my holes and I
love feeling you coming inside me and that face you have as you do.’

‘Enough
talking,’ he said gruffly. ‘Time for action baby.’ I lifted my head and watched
with bated breath as he slid backwards and down until all I could see was his ruffled
blond hair between my thighs and could feel his warm breath smothering my
quivering opening. When he finally palmed my inner thighs and pushed back my swollen
flesh with his thumbs, opening me up to him, I felt the touch resonate through
my whole body.

‘Gabe
please
,
I need you so much.’

‘You’ve got
me baby,’ he growled and suddenly flattened his tongue against my length, making
me whine, before pushing the tip of it up over my clenching entrance and
pausing, before lashing at my clit hungrily. I screamed and rose up off the bed
as I came instantly, my core pulsating and fell back on the bed taking deep
breaths expecting him to climb up over me and fuck me. I whimpered as instead
of moving his head away, he sucked onto my clit with the power of a Dyson vacuum
cleaner, sucking then gently nibbling with his lips and teeth until I shattered
again, fingers in his hair calling his name as I writhed on the bed.

‘O god o
god o god, please stop,’ I groaned. He ignored me and moved downwards dipping
his tongue into me, grunting to find me so wet for him. He lapped at me before
plunging his tongue in and out, occasionally breaking away to run it back up
and swirl it around my clit, until my body was shaking. I trembled violently, like
I was on a vibration plate at the gym and I climaxed again, gripping his head
between my tensed up thighs and started crying as my orgasm washed over me and
ebbed away and I sank down into the soft duvet below me. My head was somewhere
else, my body floating on the repeated sensations and I begged him to stop again
as he inserted two fingers and started to massage my g-spot as his lips and
tongue gently worked on my over stimulated clit.

I nearly
passed out as the fourth orgasm hit me and sent shockwaves through my whole body
that seemed never ending. I could feel the tears rolling down my cheeks and
gazed wildly up at the ceiling, squirming until I’d ridden it out and my body
relaxed. I was limp, limp and damp all over. I vaguely heard him mumble
something and felt the bed move and watched through half open eyes as he stood
up and wiped his mouth on his arm, a smile of pride on his lips as he observed
the wrecked state of me. He pulled on a white t-shirt and disappeared and I
closed my eyes, trying to regulate my breathing. I felt the bed sink and his presence
over me and forced my eyes open to see he was crouched over me, naked.

‘I have to
fuck you now baby, I’m sorry I wanted to wait until you’d eaten and rested, but
I can’t, I need you. It’ll be quick.’ He watched, waiting for me to weakly nod
my consent before he easily sank into me, arched his back and threw his head
back as he groaned my name. Despite my tiredness I automatically tightened
around him and reached up and gripped his solid arms anchored each side of me,
relishing the feel of him inside me, stretching me to capacity, his pubic bone
skimming over my stiff clit. I tried to lift my hips to meet his as he quickly
pumped into me, but it was so much effort, I was exhausted.
