Love & Loss (The Austin Series)

by C. J. Fallowfield

  ‘Hmmm a very wet and sticky animal, we need to shower so I can get you back on this bed and take my time making you come and enjoy watching it.’ He sat up taking me with him, so I was kneeling on the edge of the bed straddling him, my calves locked by my jeans and knickers. I reached up and raked my hand through the side of his soft hair and kissed his engorged lips.

  ‘Can we do that lots over this holiday? I’ve missed it too.’

  ‘As often as you want baby, just say the word, but I really need to shower first, I don’t think I’ve ever come so hard, it’s everywhere. Hold onto my neck, I’ll carry you.’ I did as I was told as his hands cupped my bare bottom and he stood and carried me through to the little en-suite shower room and set me down, leaning me against the cubicle wall. ‘Christ do you have any plastic bags? I’m going to need to ditch my jeans and sweatshirt until I can get them cleaned, I’m bloody soaked.’

  ‘Sorry, but you shouldn’t turn me on so much if you don’t want me to do that,’ I mumbled as I kicked off my boots and bent to anchor my clothes as I pulled my feet out of them.

  ‘Don’t apologise, I love it when you do that, it’s just between us we made one hell of a mess,’ he laughed as he peeled his clothes off.

  ‘Chuck them on the floor and I’ll sort them after. Get in here with me.’

  ‘Who’s bossy and in charge now?’ he smiled as he pulled his top off and dropped his jeans. I winked and turned the shower on, surprised how powerful it was given we were in a small plane. Gabe squeezed in behind me and we laughed as we tried to fit in and wash ourselves down properly. I took my time soaping up his washboard stomach and firm pecs before hanging onto him and kissing him, enjoying feeling his body pressed against mine.

  ‘Thank you for organising this for us Gabe.’

  ‘You’re welcome baby. You deserve a nice birthday after all the shit of the last few months.’ He pushed my wet hair off my face and his eyes ran over my face before he kissed me softly. ‘Come on beautiful, I want you back in that bed as soon as possible.’ I watched as he dried himself off, before securing a towel around his waist and brushing his teeth. He gathered our clothes off the floor and disappeared with a wink. I shook my head, trying to get rid of that perfect visual of him and cleaned off my makeup, brushed my teeth and dried my hair, amazed at all the miniature toiletries and accessories that had been so thoughtfully provided in the small en-suite. After wrapping a towel around myself I went back into the bedroom and found him on his iPad in bed, which he immediately set aside.

  ‘Thank God, I thought you were going to spend the entire night in there. Get over here,’ he ordered as he threw back the duvet. I dropped my towel and watched his eyes dilate as I crawled over the bed to him and before I knew it I was on my back with his lips on my neck.

  ‘Hmmm,’ I sighed as my fingers raked his solid biceps.

  ‘O baby you’ve no idea how badly I want you again. My cock’s been solid for the last ten minutes waiting for you to come out.’

  ‘Wow you really know how to woo a girl don’t you?’

  ‘My girl,’ he asserted as his hand moved to cup my breast and his thumb swept over my sensitive nipple.

  ‘Yes, your girl.’

  ‘God I love your body, your pert tits, this soft firm stomach and this …’ his hand moved down between my legs and he hissed through his teeth as I arched up to meet his probing fingers, ‘this sweet, ripe, peach.’

  ‘Gabe,’ I sighed as his fingers slid inside me and started caressing my g-spot gently. I pulled his face down to mine and kissed from one side of his mouth to the other before flicking my tongue against his. As he started to rub my clit with his thumb I sighed a little higher than normal and wrapped my arms tightly around his neck as everything clenched and I felt a tingle run up my spine, numbing the top of my head. How could he make me come so fast each time? ‘Yes, yes … yes,’ I cried as my climax hit. I sank back into the bed to recover as I caught my breath.

  ‘I’ve missed you so much,’ he sighed as he gently kissed my neck.

  ‘I’ve missed you too,’ I whispered as I reached up and ran my fingers through his hair. ‘I feel so connected to you when you’re inside me, it’s like we have this unbreakable bond.’

  ‘We have that without the sex Mia. I knew that before I even slept with you.’

  ‘Well I’m a slow learner.’ I smiled as he looked up at me and pulled his fingers out from inside me and watched as I sucked them clean for him.

  ‘I wish I’d waited,’ he sighed as he looked down at me.

  ‘For what?’

  ‘For you to realise that I loved you, even without the sex.’

  ‘I realise it now Gabe.’

  ‘I know, but sometimes we’re so passionate it’s all about the sex, like it was earlier, us both chasing down an orgasm because we love them and we turn each other on so much. Sometimes even I want more, I want to worship you, have you surrender to me and feel that deep emotional connection we have with each other too.’

  ‘Do I need to go and buy you a skirt? You’re getting very girly on me,’ I teased, then regretted it as his face fell. ‘I’m sorry, I’m just being me with my wise mouth. I love those moments between us too Gabe, so much. I love how I know it’s not all about my body and your orgasm, it’s about you and me, together.’

  ‘It is all about you baby, it’s been all about you since the moment I first laid eyes on you.’

  ‘Remind me then, no foreplay, no toys. Just you and me, slowly and gently,’ I asked as I parted my legs for him, holding his deep blue gaze. He settled between my thighs, propped up on his forearms, his fingers nestled in my hair as he looked down at me softly. ‘I want you Gabe,’ I whispered. He smiled and very slowly penetrated me and I took a long intake of breath as he stretched me, filling me to capacity as my hips rose to meet his. I reached up to clutch his shoulder with one hand, while the other clasped the back of his neck and drew his soft lips down to meet mine. Our kisses and his long firm strokes into me weren’t frantic this time. We were savouring each other, slowly drowning in our undeniable need for each other. Every fibre of my being responded to him, physically and emotionally and I knew he was feeling it from the odd sigh and moan that left his lips. There were no animalistic grunts, no loud groans, and no clutching, scratching or grabbing at each other. We were really making love like we hadn’t done in a long time.

  ‘Mia,’ he sighed against my lips. The love in his voice was like a full body caress and I felt tears pricking my eyes.

  ‘I love you Gabe,’ I whispered as his lips moved to place delicate kisses on my neck, making my body melt.

  ‘I love you too Mia, more than I’ve ever loved anyone or anything in my life. I’m going to take such good care of you baby.’

  ‘You already do,’ I cried out, as I felt myself start to physically react to his gentle attentions.

  ‘Come for me baby, let me feel how much I mean to you. Every orgasm you give me is a gift, the second best gift you ever give to me.’

  ‘What’s the first,’ I sighed as I felt my toes curl when he pulled his head back to look at me, with his eyes full of emotion and a brim-full of tears.

  ‘Your love.’

  ‘O God,’ I cried as my orgasm blossomed. How could he say these things? Make me react to just a few words? My stomach somersaulted as our eyes merged and I saw him preparing for his own release, hot on the heels of my own.

  ‘O Mia,’ he groaned as he came and sank down on top of me. I wrapped my arms and legs tightly around him, not wanting to lose that contact, as we cried tears of happiness on each other’s shoulders.

  ‘Don’t ever leave me Gabe.’ I pleaded as he finally lifted his face to smile down at me, and I felt my heart ache with all the love I had for him inside. It wasn’t big enough to contain it all.

  ‘I’m going nowhere without you baby, ever again.’ He kissed me and gently pulled out of me, turned off the lights and tugged me into his side. I draped myself across his body and let out a sigh of
contentment.

  ‘Gabe?’

  ‘Yes?’

  ‘If there’s turbulence does the bed come with extra-large straps to hold us down?’

  ‘No,’ he chuckled.

  ‘Well I don’t know, I’ve never been in a bed in a plane before,’ I protested as I felt his body shaking underneath mine as he tried to suppress his laughter.

  ‘I’m sorry, no it doesn’t. We’d have to return to the main cabin and strap into our seats. You’re not scared are you?’

  ‘Not when I’m with you, no,’ I said sincerely and kissed his chest.

  ‘Good. Come on get some sleep, because I’d like to make love to you a few more times before we land.’

  Gabe woke me at six, gently tugging on my nipple with his teeth and I groaned and opened one eye to look down at him.

  ‘I need you baby, please wake up.’

  ‘I’m tired Gabe, someone spent another hour making me come multiple times last night,’ I objected. We’d hardly had any sleep at all and I wanted to enjoy our time here. There was so much I wanted to see and do.

  ‘Too tired to go again? We’ll be landing in about an hour and New York’s five hours behind, so when we get there it will still be middle of the night. You can have a long lie in to recover,’ he coaxed. I opened my other eye and looked down at him all sparkly eyed and excited. He was looking up at me, every inch a young boy in love, with a seriously cute pout on his gorgeous face. How could I resist him when he was like that? Hell, how could I resist him anytime?

  ‘Ok, but make it a quickie, I need to shower desperately.’

  ‘Yes maam,’ he grinned and eased himself between my thighs and surprised me by holding both of my hands above my head and making slow gentle love to me again, then cuddling me tightly afterwards. ‘I love how you never say no to me,’ he smiled as he rubbed his nose on mine.

  ‘You always make me feel so good and look after me so well when we have sex Gabe, why would I refuse?’

  ‘It’s really as good for you as it is for me?’

  ‘I think it’s better, you won’t let me do stuff to you.’

  ‘Stuff?’

  ‘You rarely let me give you a hand or blow job while we’re having sex. I feel like the pleasure’s weighted in my favour.’

  ‘Baby seeing you coming is all the pleasure I need. It makes me so happy so see you like that.’

  ‘Please let me next time, you get hard again so quickly anyway what does it matter?’

  ‘Hmmm we’ll see. We’d better get showered and ready for breakfast. Kiss me,’ he ordered. I did and he groaned and slid out of me and headed to the en-suite. I decided to follow him and kissed him back into a frenzy and dropped to my knees and gave him a blow job, happily swallowing him down and feeling like we were more even. He shook his head grinning happily as he headed out to dry himself and get dressed, leaving me to try and clean myself up from him emptying himself into me four times. I couldn’t wait to move into the apartment with my new bidet installed.

  He was out of the bedroom with his case all zipped up again when I got out, so I pulled on some fresh underwear and dressed in my jeans, t-shirt and a jumper and pulled on my Emu boots, not bothering with any makeup if we were just going to go to bed again. I shut my case and padded out into the main cabin to find him sitting at the table in his new combats and a jumper.

  ‘Better?’

  ‘Much thank you,’ I replied giving him a kiss as I walked past and took my place opposite.

  ‘I asked for a hot chocolate for you as I know coffee keeps you awake and you’ll want to sleep when we arrive.’

  ‘Thanks, where are we staying? I hope you haven’t gone crazy with another luxury hotel, or I’ll be really cross.’

  ‘Actually no I haven’t, but if I wanted to I bloody well would. Stop trying to control my damn spending Mia, I know what I can and can’t afford, I’m not reckless,’ he frowned.

  ‘Ok sorry,’ I responded, holding my hands in the air. ‘Just don’t want you to think I need you to keep spending money on me. That’s not why I’m with you.’

  ‘I know that, you don’t need to keep reminding me all the time Mia.’ His voice softened a little as he looked at me. ‘As it happens I haven’t spent anything. We’re staying at Dad’s apartment, he offered it and he’s staying with a friend so we can be alone.’

  ‘A friend?’ I asked, wondering if Robert had told Gabe about his girlfriend yet.

  ‘Yeah, not sure who, I did say he didn’t have to move out, but he insisted. Doesn’t want to see us having sex again no doubt,’ he grinned.

  ‘Hmmm yes, don’t remind me. Well that was very kind of him, I’ll have to get him something to say thank you.’

  ‘Good morning, how did you both sleep?’ smiled Tim as he appeared with a large tray.

  ‘Like logs,’ lied Gabe, winking at me making me blush. We made short work of the full English breakfast and mini croissants he’d made for us, along with our hot drinks and Gabe got back to his emailing as I closed my eyes while we started our descent to JFK.

  ‘Gabe it’s so pretty,’ I exclaimed in wonder as I stared out of the car window as we approached Manhattan. The tall skyscrapers glittered against the inky sky and the Empire State building was all in white, it was still a bit early for the holiday red and green I’d read about. We’d speed through the airport, benefits of a private plane, and had been met by Antonio, Robert’s driver in New York, in yet another smoked out Mercedes, obviously the company’s car of choice. I looked around at Gabe who was very quiet and saw he was just smiling to see me so excited. Of course, he’d done it all before, but this was my first time here and I was in awe. He shimmied up to me and put his arm around me and started pointed out the sights, then insisted Antonio pull over so we could get out in Times Square to let me look up at the dazzling billboards and I got embarrassed as I started to cry.

  ‘Mia what’s wrong?’ he asked looking at me horrified.

  ‘I’m just so happy,’ I sniffed. ‘I’ve always dreamt of being here and it’s so much better than I imagined, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Thank you.’ I flung my arms around his neck and hung onto him tightly. ‘I’m the luckiest girl in the world as I have you as my boyfriend and you spoil me terribly.’

  ‘I’m not spoiling you baby, this is how it is, you don’t need to keep thanking me. Get used to it, I’m lucky enough to have had a privileged upbringing and as my girlfriend, or soon to be live in lover, you get to share that with me.’

  ‘Live in lover?’ I giggled as I looked up at him.

  ‘They really need to invent a word for that don’t they? Co-habitee just doesn’t have a sexy ring to it. Right come on, I want to get you to bed so you can rest and we can cram in everything you want to do.’ He ushered me back in the car and started firing questions at me about what I’d like to see and do and made notes on his iPad as we headed off.

  Less than ten minutes later Antonio pulled up in front of a modern glass building, with an over-hanging frosted awning, sheltering a uniformed doorman who rushed forwards to take our cases. I gulped as I looked up at the towering skyscraper above me and Gabe took my hand and led me in past the security guard on the reception desk, who nodded to him as we walked past a bank of elevators, to a slim one on its own. I was surprised that there was only a keypad and watched Gabe punch in a number. Of course Robert had a penthouse apartment, at this stage I wouldn’t have been surprised if he had a swimming pool on the roof, or a helipad either. Get used to it Gabe had said, I didn’t think I’d ever get used to this. He turned a key in the interior panel, punched in the code again and it rose and slowly came to a stop. As the doors slid back the view took my breath away. We were in a glass enclosed lobby, facing a massive open plan kitchen, dining, living room, with floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the city and I could see the Empire State and the golden glow of the Chrysler building. I covered my mouth with my free hand as Gabe opened up and led me to look more closely.

&
nbsp; ‘Wow, even I forgot how spectacular this view is,’ he said as we stood looking. ‘Right do you need a drink or something to eat before you go to bed?’

  No I’m good thanks, but I feel all awake now. I wish you hadn’t flushed my tablets.’

  ‘Then let’s dig out your herbal ones. We have loads to do over the next few days so I want you rested. Dad’s bedroom is the door next to the kitchen and our room is over here,’ he nodded towards the lounge.

  We wheeled our cases along the polished concrete floor to the huge modern suite, all in chocolate and creams.

  ‘O my God look at the size of the bed,’ I squealed and launched myself onto it laughing.

  ‘It’s a California king.’

  ‘It’s amazing,’ I said looking around in wonder. We still had the same view from the bed and I got up and ran through the dressing area to the bathroom, stunned at how luxurious it was, then ran back to jump up on Gabe’s hips and hug him hard making him laugh. ‘This is AWESOME. How am I going to sleep?’

  ‘I’m thinking you won’t need that pill,’ he said with a wicked look as he walked me over to the bed and lowered me onto it as his lips searched out mine.

  I woke up feeling way too hot, Gabe was wrapped around me, his head on my chest and the full weight of the duvet and comforter lay on top of us. I glanced at my watch, it was half one, which mean it was eight thirty New York time, I needed to change my watch and get with it. I tried to wriggle out of bed without waking him, but he lazily opened his eyes and gave me a knockout smile.

  ‘Sleep well?’ he asked.

  ‘Very well, a couple of orgasms always make me tired.’

  ‘I knew they would.’

  ‘You’re so selfless putting my welfare up there on your priority list,’ I smiled.

  ‘I can put it up there again if you’d like,’ he chuckled.

  ‘Gabe,’ I smacked him making him laugh. ‘I’d like to get up and see some sites, go exploring.’

  ‘But I’ve a skyscraper of my own down here for you to explore.’
