He repeated the same tender and slightly rough ministrations to the other. While he was sucking he took her hand in his and slowly pushed it down her body to stroke her fingers over her clit. She moaned and tried to pull her hand away, but he was persistent. He released her breasts and looked into her eyes, the demand clear in his smoky gaze. His need became hers and she smiled gently.
“What do you want, Gabriel?”
“Touch your clit for me, Baby. Circle it, stroke it and pinch it. I want to watch you please yourself, Red.”
She watched him watch her and noticed every narrowing of his eyes, every lick of his tongue over his lips and felt every tightening of his shaft as it grew harder and bigger with every touch of her fingers on her clit and sheath. The pressure started to build inside her and she moved her hips against her hand, licking her lips, moaning softly. She stroked her clit faster, pinched a little harder and she panted as the heat in her core built higher and higher.
“Ga … briel … please … I need you!”
He shook his head, his eyes burning where they were glued to her hand pleasuring herself.
“Not yet, Baby. Come for me, Red. Venire adesso! Come now!”
Even with her masturbating, her body responded to his demand and her climax curled slowly and warmly through her core. Her breathing increased and she screamed when Gabriel pushed her hands away and pulled her clit hard and deep into his mouth and suckled hard and relentlessly, plunging three fingers inside her pulsing channel and pumping mercilessly in and out.
Her climax immediately quadrupled in strength and she screamed again and then lost all ability to breathe when her orgasm clasped her core and her groin so hard it felt as if she would explode. She saw black and pulled at Gabriel’s hair, desperate to catch a breath. He ignored her and swopped his fingers and mouth over her sheath. He pushed his tongue deep and sucked hard, circling and pinching her clit over and over with his fingers.
“Oohh … I … Gab … I …”
She panted and tried to breathe but he kept feeding her orgasm and her inner walls pulsated and milked his tongue so hard he flinched. He looked up and caught his breath at the beauty of her in a climax that just would not let go. Her eyes caught his and he read the panic and desperation in hers and he shook his head, growling inside her. Her back arched as the thrilling of the sound against and inside her, triggered an increase to the strength of her climax. She lifted and drove her core desperately against his mouth grinding harder and deeper against it, her keening moans begging him for mercy.
Gabriel lapped at the juices spilling onto his tongue and pushed as deep as he could. He tipped his tongue upwards and stabbed hard and repeatedly against her g-spot and she shattered against him, her screams echoing through the house. Then her body went slack and Gabriel slowly licked her dry, before he gathered her tight against him, kissing her softly, breathing into her mouth. Her breath coming in short pants. He caressed her back, her buttocks and kept breathing into her.
Even though she passed out, probably from a combination of a lack of oxygen and the intensity of her orgasm, he could find not an ounce of regret for the part he played.
Now, he felt whole. She belonged to him, totally and irrevocably. He watched her eyes flicker open and stared into his. He caressed her cheek, then stroked over her nipples, smiling when they perked into tight nubs immediately.
“Okay, Baby?”
His hand slithered over her belly and stroked lightly over her clit and into her sheath to find her hot and wet again.
“Yes … oohh … no please, not yet. Give me time to … Gabriel I am too sensiti … aahhh!”
But he allowed her no recess. He forced one orgasm after the other from her until her skin was so sensitive she cried when he touched her. Her nipples and clit swollen and so tender she gasped and screamed at the softest of touch. He had complete control over her body and she could deny none of his demands. By the time he stopped she was a mass of quivering Jell-O and her skin felt like tiny insects crawled over her. Her sheath and channel was swollen and red from their night of non-stop passion.
Gabriel leaned over her and looked into her hazy violet eyes.
“Okay, Baby?”
“Yes, my love.”
Her voice soft and hoarse from all the shouts and screams throughout the night. He smiled and pulled her into his arms with her head on his shoulder. Within a blink of an eye, they were both asleep, just as the sun peeked over the horizon.
Chapter Seventeen
Sienna woke with a start and did not move for a moment and then remembered where she was. She turned her head, but realized she was alone in the room. Her dressing gown was draped over the side of the bed. At least she would not have to walk back to her room naked!
After a quick shower and a lot of winching at her sore and tender muscles, she realized she would have to find some soothing cream for the rawness inside her. She still could not get over how Gabriel managed to control her body he did and how the both of them could climax as much as they did during the night. A small smile played over her mouth when she eventually walked downstairs in search of some food. She was absolutely starving.
Benito greeted her with a frown between his eyes, but avoided looking at her. He seemed slightly upset.
“What is the matter, Benito?”
“My King said to tell you he will see you again on Friday night for the wedding on Saturday.”
The smile froze on her lips and her heart missed a beat.
“He … left already?”
“It is after twelve, Signora and he had a meeting to attend to in Rome.”
“But … its weekend … is he not returning tonight?”
“It seems not, Signora.”
“I see.”
But she didn’t. She did not understand that after last night he would just leave without talking to her, without greeting her. Without telling her all was well with them!
Suddenly she lost her appetite and she walked listlessly outside and found a bench in the garden and sat down. Why did he come home last night? Was it only to prove his mastery over her? Why would he still stay away?
She looked up when she heard Gramps calling her and rose to meet her on the porch.
“Hi, darling. Did you sleep well?”
“Yes thanks, Gramps.”
“William arranged an outing with Mattia. He is going to take us out on the yacht for a cruise down the coastline. Please come with us.”
“That sounds nice. Let me just go and change into something more appropriate for sailing.”
The weather was perfect for sailing and soon Sienna was completely relaxed and enjoyed the day in the sun. It was a wonderful experience to sail all the way down the coastline and stopped at the harbor in Rome for a mid-afternoon drink.
They decided on a small Pub situated on the waterfront and Sienna smiled happily at her Gramps who were glowing with happiness. William was very attentive and touched and held her hand the whole time. She shook her head and lifted the camera for the umpteenth time to take a photo of the loving couple. Scrolling through the photos a face in the background on the last one she took caught her eye. She squinted and her heart started hammering inside her chest.
Sienna bid her lip and zoomed closer with trembling fingers. A hurtful gasp escaped her lips when Gabriel’s smiling face came into view. He was looking down at a dark haired petite woman in his arms. Her hands trembled as she put the camera away, slowly searching the crowd a little further down the harbor behind her Gramps.
Her heart shattered in two when she saw Gabriel leaning negligently against the balcony balustrade of the restaurant next to the pub. His arms around none other than Jessica Chastain, the very woman who claimed she was pregnant with his baby and which he so vehemently denied. He leaned forward slightly and red tipped claws slipped around his neck to pull his head down and their lips locked in a deep and passionate kiss. The intimacy of the kiss visible even over the distance.
She jumped up and mumble
d in Gramps direction that they needed to leave; otherwise they would not be back on the island before dark. They agreed and frowningly followed Sienna that walked so fast, they nearly had to jog to keep up with her.
The rest of the day blurred past Sienna and her heart was shattered. Everyone told her she was wrong. That she needed to see him … not the Prince or the King. And just when she opened her soul and her heart, he turned into exactly what she has been fighting against. A King who preferred the rich and famous. Who preferred a glamorous and beautiful Socialite and Heiress to a lowly Historian.
One whose resolve he totally broke down the night before. One that admitted to herself during the course of the night that she loved him. Totally and irrevocably lost her heart to him.
“My Sexy King” flashed on her cell phone screen around eight that evening. Sienna sat staring at the flashing name through eyes that were blurred with tears. She switched her phone off. A few minutes later she heard a hesitant knock on her door. Her light was already off and pretended to sleep when her door opened softly.
“I’m sorry, my King. Signora Sienna is already sleeping.”
She bit her lip at the soft response from Benito into the portable phone as he closed her door, forcing the sobs back. That night she hardly slept. The picture of Gabriel locking lips with the seductive Heiress constantly replaying in her mind.
Sunday was spent on the hills of the Island. She got one of the grooms to saddle a placid merry and she rode away very early. She felt free and leaned low in the saddle, urging her on. It has been so long since she has been on a horse and it was exhilarating. She explored the Island and by the time she rode back into the stable yard just before sunset, she felt much better.
“Signora, where have you been the whole day? We have been so worried!”
“I told you I am going exploring and I did. I now know every nook and granny of this Island. You are so lucky to live in a Paradise such as this!”
He grumbled and took the horse to rub him down and feed him.
More reproof awaited her at the castle and she sighed. She deliberately left her phone at home, because she wanted to be alone and forget about the world.
“How could you be so irresponsible, Sienna? We have been worried sick! Gabriel has been phoning every half an hour! You better phone him and explain!”
Sienna looked at her Gramps, her face expressionless, her heart thumbing angrily inside her chest.
“I am sorry you were worried, Gramps, but I am fine. Now I am going to have something to eat and then take a long bubble bath.”
“Phone Gabriel first.”
“I have no intention of phoning Gabriel! I am working on a project for him therefore I do not need to report my every move to him.”
She turned around and walked away, forcing her trembling anger down. Elaine gaped after her and looked worriedly at William.
“Now what?”
“I think you better phone him and set his mind at ease that she is back.”
Elaine quickly phoned Gabriel and realized how worried he was when he almost immediately answered his phone.
“She has just arrived back, Gabriel. She went exploring around the Island and left her phone behind.”
“How can she be so irresponsible? Anything could have happened. Let me talk to her, please.”
“Ehm … she went to find something to eat and then plans to take a long bubble bath.”
“I assume that means that she has no intention of phoning me?”
“I’m afraid not. She ranted about not needing to report her every move to you.”
“What the hell happened since I was there on Thursday night?”
“I’m not sure, but she seemed extremely upset since we returned from our short cruise down the coast yesterday.”
“What cruise?”
“Mattia took us on the yacht down the coast and we stopped for a drink at the harbor in Rome.”
He was silent for a short while, and then sighed. “Where?”
“A small pub on the waterfront.”
“I see. Please tell her I am going to phone her later and to answer her phone. I am bound to chair a Presidential summit this whole week on new legislations in Congress so I will only be back on Friday.”
“Do you know what upset her, Gabriel?”
He sighed wearily. “I have a good idea, yes. Are all the arrangements in place for the wedding?”
“Yes, Sophia and Sienna has been terrific. They are all arriving on Thursday so we have adequate time to get everything ready for the ceremony on Saturday morning. I want to thank you for offering your home for our wedding, Gabriel; it is such a lovely place.”
“It is my pleasure. Love does not always come easily and I am happy for you and William.”
“Thank you for agreeing to marry us too. That in itself will make it even more special.”
Gabriel cursed viciously when he ended the call and threw his phone on the couch behind him. Leonardo looked at him questioningly.
“What’s wrong?”
“Sienna saw me yesterday with Jessica. They went on a cruise down the coast on the yacht and had a drink at the pub next to where we were.”
“Oh shit. I told you that woman was out to make your life miserable. You should have chased her away the moment she joined us. Like you have every other time she appeared when we were out.”
“Leo, you know I can’t turn around without bumping into a damn paparazzi photographer. Imagine the articles if I were openly rude to one of the richest Heiresses on the globe.”
“After what she tried to do a while ago, you have every right to be. What the hell do you expect Sienna to think? Especially if she saw the kiss! You did not push her away, you allowed her to lock lips with you.”
“Only because I was off balance when she nearly pushed me over the balustrade when she latched on to me. As soon as I gained my balance I pushed her away.”
“Does she know about Jessica’s claim that you made her pregnant?”
“Yes … shit!”
“Yes, shit! Whatever she might have believed before, be prepared my friend, that seeing you two together and locking lips the way it looked to others looking on …”
Gabriel listlessly switched through the channels on the television and cursed when he saw himself.
Sienna was doing the same and happened on the same channel as well and her whole body froze.
“It seems the King of San Marino is back to his old ways. He has not been seen on the social scene much since his father passed away a year ago, but over the past month he has been out and about. Of course always with a beautiful woman or two in tow. Rumors are rife about a steamy relationship with the gorgeous Jessica Chastain. They have been seen together, locking lips numerous times over the past few weeks.”
Sienna listened to the narration and sat staring at the screen, numerous pictures of Gabriel and Jessica Chastain flashing of them together, kissing, hugging and all of them recent. She really was the most naïve person on the planet. She believed him when he told her he could not be the father of her baby. Yet there he was, clearly besotted with the beautiful woman, the dates printed on the pictures indicating how often they met over the past two weeks.
Gabriel stared at the screen. He was in total shock. He never even realized how often Jessica intruded upon them when they were out. Leonardo and he took a number of Business associates to dinner over the past two weeks and by these pictures most of the times she appeared and draped herself around him. Even Leonardo was stumped.
“Good God, Gabriel. She is cleverer than we gave her credit for! She is building a full on campaign to show the world you two are a couple and in love. If she claims she is pregnant in public now and you deny it, you will be slaughtered!”
Gabriel’s fury was building exponentially and his face was stark with anger. He ran his hands through his hair and growled low in his throat.
“The worst of it is that I will only be able to go home on Friday. I can just imagine h
ow much of a wall Sienna will have built by then!”
He grabbed his phone and called her number. He sat fuming and cursed when she did not answer. He dialed the landline at the house and Benito answered.
“Benito, please take the phone to Sienna.”
He heard his footsteps and then the background sound of the television as he entered a room.
“Signora, it is the King.”
He heard a soft response and a long hesitation before Benito reported, “She does not wish to take the call, my King.”
“Tell her everything is not as it seems and I need to talk to her.”
Benito repeated the message and another mumbled response. He cursed viciously.
“Ehm … Signora Sienna says … ehm … you should go and jump in the lake, my King.”
She snapped something again and he heard Benito gasp.
“I can’t tell him that, Signora!”
“Benito!”
“Yes, my King.”
“I am waiting.”
“Harrumph … she says … ehm …”
“Get on with it Benito!” Gabriel snapped at him.
“Signora Sienna says that you should … ehm … take your royal … ehm … ass and overrated … ehm …”
“Oh for goodness sake, Benito!” He heard Sienna snap and she said loud enough for him to hear.
“Take you royal ass together with your overrated and betraying bloody dick and shove it up your own royal ass, King Gabriel Costa! Now go away Benito, I want to be alone!”
Gabriel closed his eyes. There was hope. At least she shouted and screamed. She was angry and hurt, he could hear it in her voice, but she has not closed herself from him. If she did, she would have remained silent. Then her words registered and he chuckled.
God, how he loved that woman! He started. His eyes wide when they met Leonardo’s. He breathed in deeply, the wonder of the realization hitting him squarely in his heart. He did love her; he loved her from the start. From the first day she opened her sleepy violet eyes and ordered him to come to her.
“What did she say?”
“That I should take my royal ass together with my overrated and betraying bloody dick and shove it up my own royal ass!”
