“Yes. Is Dillon there?”
“Yeah. He stormed the hotel lobby about thirty minutes ago and almost scared me to death.”
Despite her fear and exhaustion, Gabi chuckled. “I can totally imagine it.”
“One hell of a wake-up, I can tell you.” Maria paused. “Dillon said you were attacked last night at Dangerous Curves? And you were saved by a bartender or someone?”
“Yeah. Aidan.”
“Right.” Maria sounded calmer now. “And you’re with him now?”
“Yeah, we’re safe at his place.”
“OK.” Maria hesitated. “Dillon’s insisting that I come back to Denver with him. He says that I’m – maybe I’m in danger.”
Gabi pushed some loose strands of hair back off her forehead. “Maybe you are, I don’t know.”
“Listen, Gabi. Jake and Julie’s wedding is in two weeks here at Open Skies and I’m organizing it. I can’t just up and leave everything in the lurch, you know?”
“I know.”
“I mean, if you’re sure that these guys know who I am, I’ll come and hide in King’s safe house that Dillon told me about. But if you’re not positive, then I’d rather stay here.”
Shocked, Gabi sat up straighter. “Maria, look… these MC guys are dangerous. I mean, really dangerous. OK? You need to come to the city where you can be protected.”
“But I’m protected here,” Maria said. “We have a security guard sitting at the main entrance overnight, and last year Julie had cameras installed all over the place. They cover all the paths down from the mountains and every door and every building outside. It’s safe here, I promise you.”
“What about your apartment in town?”
Maria paused. “Well, maybe I could stay at Open Skies until this is all over. We do have private staff quarters at the back of the main building.”
“Do the cameras cover it?”
“Yeah. The main door has a code and cameras. So do all the patios facing the mountains.”
“Ummm.” Gabi considered. “Well, actually. That does all sound pretty safe.”
Aidan was listening and now he frowned. Was Maria not going to come to Denver? Shit, Jax and King were going to lose their goddamned minds – they’d specifically told Dillon to bring Gabi’s sister back.
“It is,” Maria said. “I’d rather stay here.” She managed a small laugh. “Though Dillon did threaten to throw me over his shoulder and toss me in his truck to get me to Denver.”
Gabi giggled. “Actually, I wouldn’t put kidnapping past the man. He’s hardcore, Maria, and you don’t mess with him, believe me.”
“Oh, I can tell.”
“But under it all, he’s a good guy and you can trust him with your life. If he’s with you, you’re safe, I promise. He won’t let anything happen to you. He’d die first.”
Maria was quiet for a few seconds. “How did this happen, Gabi? How did you witness a murder?”
As Gabi told her sister the whole story, Aidan got to his feet and stripped off his t-shirt. At the sight of his broad, muscular chest, Gabi’s voice faltered. Her eyes drank him in so thirstily, she felt like she’d been in a desert under the blazing sun for a month. He was golden and gorgeous in the morning light, every chiseled muscle standing out clearly. She ached to run her tongue over every single one of them. When his large hands moved to his belt buckle, she bit her lip, watching his every move, suddenly wide awake.
“Gabi?” Maria’s voice brought her back to the moment.
“Yeah?”
“So are you really OK?”
Seeing as Aidan was now undoing the snap on his jeans, Gabi was actually doing fantastically well, but he was a huge distraction.
“One sec, Maria,” she said and then covered the mouthpiece and glared at him. “What are you doing?”
He grinned at her. “Going to take a shower, darlin’. Then I’m going to get back in to bed and go to sleep next to you.” He cocked his blond head as he slowly lowered the zipper. “That OK with you?”
“Yes,” she said, her eyes fixed on his hands, almost drooling as the strong, defined curve of his hip bones appeared. “But maybe you can finish getting undressed in the bathroom?”
“Why?” He kicked his jeans off now and stood there in just his boxers, raised his arms above his head and stretched as bit. “Don’t you like what you see?”
Her breath caught in her chest as she took him in. He was all toned muscle and rangy grace, like a golden jungle cat stretching lazily in the sun. But the power in that massive body was unmistakable and the most feminine part of herself was helpless in the face of it. She wanted to just curl up against that strength, let it overwhelm her.
“I – I like it just fine,” she hissed. “And that’s the problem.”
“Oh, sorry.” He turned and now she got to see that amazing ass, that strong back. Her eyes fell on the bandage covering his stitches and she winced a bit as she thought about the glass cutting and tearing his warm skin. “I’ll go then.”
“Yeah, you do that, you drop-dead gorgeous man,” she muttered and turned her attention back to the phone. “I’m sorry, Maria. Aidan was talking to me.”
“No, it’s OK. I need to get back to the restaurant, anyway. I left Dillon there with Jake and Julie and I think there’s a strong possibility that one or more of them may be dead now.”
Gabi laughed. “Really?”
“Oh, yeah. Dillon was making demands and Julie doesn’t take kindly to being bossed around.”
“Yeah, Dillon’s a bit – alpha.”
“No kidding, right?”
“OK, so. Will you let me know what you decide? Maybe if you come back to Denver, you and I can stay at King’s safe house together?”
“Wouldn’t you want to stay with Aidan?” Maria said.
Oh, hell, would I ever.
But aloud, Gabi said, “Look if you get dragged to the city because of me, then there’s no way I’m leaving you all alone with a bunch of bodyguards from King’s Men. They’re scary and they don’t really talk.”
“Alone with who?”
“Oh, man.” Gabi sighed, wondering how the hell to explain King’s Men. “Long, long story, trust me. Just – just let me know what you want to do, OK? If you come back here, I’ll tell you all that I know about King’s Men. Maybe we can even try to get one of them to crack a smile at us one day over coffee.”
“Huh. Intriguing. It almost makes me want to hide out in the safe house, just to get the scoop on these people.”
“Almost?”
“Yeah. Almost.”

Aidan stood in the shower, eyes closed, willing himself to relax at last. Gabriela was here with him – and she was actually with him. After all this time, he’d finally made his move and thank Christ she’d wanted him as bad as he wanted her. His whole life was about to change forever and for the better and he couldn’t wait.
He thought about kissing her, about touching her through that thin t-shirt and right away, his cock hardened. He closed his fist around its length, almost groaning as he thought about Gabriela’s hand being where his was… her stroking him just like this, harder and faster, before taking him with her lips and tongue. He was so caught up in the fantasy of Gabriela pulling him in to her sweet, hot mouth, he didn’t hear the bathroom door open.
Gabi stood there and when she saw Aidan in the shower, his cock in one large hand, the other supporting his full weight against the shower wall, she almost collapsed with lust. God, the look on his face as he stroked himself… pure animal need and desire.
Is that for me?
Quietly, not wanting him to stop what he was doing, she took off her t-shirt and panties and approached the shower. Aidan’s hand was moving more roughly now, his eyes shut tight, his breath coming out in pants.
She allowed her gaze to
roam over his whole powerful body and she bit her lip at the thought that all of this was hers. The broad shoulders, the muscled torso, the perfect ass, the strong back. And that amazing, huge cock… even that was hers. She wanted it. She wanted it all.
Gabi opened the shower door and Aidan’s eyes shot open at the click. He froze but when she smiled at him and stepped under the spray, he grinned back. He held her eyes and his hand moved more slowly now in long, leisurely strokes, as if he had all the time in the world all of a sudden. She loved that he hadn’t stopped, that he didn’t look even the slightest bit embarrassed about her seeing him touch himself.
“What you doing in here, baby?” he said. “You need another shower?”
“Not really,” she said. “I just wanted to finish what you started back in the bedroom.”
“Yeah? You wanted to see me naked?”
“Oh, yeah.” Her breath was getting faster. “I sure as hell did.”
Aidan let go of his cock now. “Well, here I am.”
She almost gasped at the sight of that amazing part of him. He was long, sure enough, but he was also thick. She stared down at him and she actually wondered if she’d be able to take all of him in to her body. No man she’d ever been with had been that large around and her pussy slicked up at the very thought of having that much of Aidan inside her. He’d feel incredible, she was sure of it.
“Oh, God, Aidan.” Gabi’s body was shaking again and she put one trembling hand on the cool tile wall to steady herself. “You’re perfect.”
“No fucking way, baby,” he said, his voice hoarse as he devoured her with eyes as bright as the sunrise. “You are. And I have to touch you.”
He pulled her to him now, his erection pushing hard in to her stomach. She raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck, tugging his mouth down to hers. The kiss was surprisingly soft and Gabi felt tears come to her eyes at this man’s tenderness. He was adoring her with his lips, making her feel so damn loved.
Aidan deepened the kiss and started to run his hands over her golden body. She was all slim curves and smooth skin and his intense wanting was kicked up a notch. When his fingers moved back between her thighs, Gabi tensed in anticipation and Aidan paused.
“OK?” he whispered in her ear. “Can I touch you?’
“God, yes.” She moved her feet farther apart and he smiled. “Touch me, Aidan.”
His fingers slid over her lower lips, teasing and slow. When one thick finger moved inside her slick channel, Gabi moaned, the sound echoing around the steamy shower cabin.
“Feels good?” he breathed, pushing deeper.
“Oh.” Her eyes shut and her head fell forward on to his strong chest. “Aidan…oh…”
“It can feel ever better,” he said, slipping a second finger in and starting to gently massage her inner muscles. “I can make you feel so damn good.”
Those dark eyes opened and looked up at him with trust and wanting. “What do you have in mind?”
He grinned and her heart tightened to see it, that lazy, sweet grin that was pure Aidan.
“Let me show you,” he said.
Her hands tightened on his upper arms. “Yes.”
He went to his knees in front of her and she was suddenly very glad for the wall at her back. When his mouth found her pussy, she spread her legs as much as she could, gripped his hair in both hands, pushed him against her raging need. She moved on his lips shamelessly, offering herself to him.
As she began to ride his mouth, Aidan almost came right then and there, every one of his senses overwhelmed by her: her scent, her taste, her softness, the sounds she was making deep in her throat. She was so damn close already, and he wanted to take her there over and over again.
He zeroed in on her swelling clit and he stroked, licked, sucked, before opening her with his fingers and lapping every inch of her that he could reach. His tongue found her most hidden, sensitive flesh and when she started to shudder and say his name over and over, he moved back to her little bundle of nerves. He rolled his tongue over it and her whole body started to unfurl around him.
Gabi felt the pleasure coil up in her stomach and that was when she held Aidan’s head still. “Wait. Aidan, wait.”
Right away, he stopped. He shot to his feet, a look of alarm on his handsome face and he put his forearms on the wall on either side of her head. The position pushed his body up against hers and she almost sighed at how good it felt to have the whole length of him on her. She was thrown back to that night at Curves when he’d put himself between her and danger and she realized that he was still doing it… he was still protecting her with everything that he had.
“Baby, what?” His hands were in her hair, stroking and comforting. “You want to stop?”
“Oh, God, no.” She kissed him, tasting herself on his lips, and his body and face relaxed a bit. “I just want the first time that I come with you to be with you inside me.”
He moved his hands down to her throat now, carefully touched the ugly purple and red marks there. “You sure you want to go all the way? We don’t have to, you know. After everything you’ve been through, it may be too much – maybe it’s too fast.”
“Too fast?” Her tone was playful. “I’ve wanted to do this for almost three years, Aidan. It’s not anything like fast enough, believe me.”
He laughed. “Yeah, me too. Three long years of being all alone in the shower, wanting you here just like this.”
“So why are we still talking, babe?”
Those amazing eyes flared now and he turned off the shower. Without a word, he opened the door and took her hand, led her over to the small sofa that he had next to the sink. Impatiently, he shoved the change of clothes that he’d set on it to one side and sat down, still soaking wet. He pulled Gabi down on his lap so that she straddled him as he ran his hands up and down her glistening body.
She kissed him now and the air between them crackled with urgency. Gabi took his cock between her hands, stroked him until the tip was wet with his arousal. His head fell back on the sofa and she watched his face as she pleasured him with long strokes.
“I liked seeing you touching yourself in the shower.” Her voice was darker than he’d ever heard it and it made him harder. “Were you thinking about me while you were doing that?”
“Yeah.” His own voice was husky. “I always think about you.”
“What do you imagine I’m doing to you?”
He opened his eyes, loving her flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes. “Everything, baby. You’re doing everything to me.”
Her breath caught. Holding his eyes, she slid to the floor between his spread legs, still pumping him with her slick hands. She leaned forward and closed her lips over the tip of his cock, slid down and up again, watched as his body clenched.
“Am I doing this?” she said, before mouthing a soft kiss on him.
“Oh, fuck.” His hips lifted off the sofa. “Yes.”
“What about this?” She swirled her tongue around his thick head, licking the salty pre-cum, taking it in to her mouth.
“Yes.” His hands were tangled in her hair now. “Gabriela, please.”
“More?”
“Yeah. Fucking more.”
She sucked his cock in to her mouth, in to her throat, amazed again at his blunt thickness. He was the biggest man she’d ever taken like this and she loved how completely he filled her. As she moved up and down and listened to his groans, she felt her lower lips open even wider, getting ready to take him. She imagined that her mouth was her pussy and she moved on him over and over, deeper and harder and faster.
Aidan was rapidly losing control and with a guttural cry, he pulled her wicked little mouth away. She smiled up at him from the floor and seeing her on her knees like this was the most beautiful thing he could imagine. And he’d imagined a lot.
“Darlin’, I need you up
here on my cock… and I mean now.”
As she climbed back on to his lap, Aidan grabbed a condom from the drawer next to the sink and ripped the foil savagely. He rolled it on and with barely a pause, he lifted her hips, held her above his pulsing erection.
“You ready?” he ground out.
“So ready,” she said, and in one swift movement, she lowered herself on to him, sliding him inside her welcoming heat. She gave a cry as he parted her wide, pushing and stretching her, before her body clamped down on him, holding him. He thrust up and she pushed down and in seconds, they were joined and as close together as humanly possible. They both groaned and their lips met in a frantic kiss.
When Gabi started to rock on him, Aidan gripped her hips, holding her in place. “Wait.”
Her dark eyes were glazed as she stared at him. “Why?”
“Just – just let me do this. Let me make you feel good.”
“Well,” she murmured. “You did promise to take care of all my needs.”
“I did,” he agreed. “You need this, baby?”
“I need you.”
Her words smashed him straight in the heart, made it actually stand still for a few seconds. Christ, he’d waited so long for her and now she was here. He was inside her, she was all wrapped around him. It was like every dream he’d ever had had just been dropped in to his lap – naked and hot and wet.
Aidan gave a small thrust up, lifting her whole body, rolled his hips under her. The sensation was unlike anything she’d ever known before and Gabi grasped his shoulders, her nails leaving marks in his skin.
“Oh, God.” Her head fell back, her wet hair releasing rivulets of water down her back. “Again. Aidan, again.”
He pushed in to her pussy again, loving how tight she was. He leaned forward and took one dark nipple in to his mouth and her back arched hard. He sucked on it as he pushed in and out, his lips and tongue moving in time with his cock. He wanted to last, he wanted to have it go on forever, but it wasn’t going to happen, he knew. She was already shaking against him, her moans turning to gasps and then to pleas.
Gabi knew she was begging and writhing; she was utterly out of control and she was totally fine with that. When he held her hips tight and he drove in to her deep, hard, fast, the beautiful tension that had been building became keener, more raw. She fell forward now, her face turned in to Aidan’s throat and she panted his name.
