Awe-Struck, Book 2 Page 8

  “No, I guess not. Sorry, I just wanted to do it now. I want you to be my wife…yesterday.” Gabe sighed, resigned to wait.

  Sunny looked at him in wonderment. “Really? Aren’t most men deathly afraid of marriage, and have to practically get drug down the aisle?”

  “I’m not most men.”

  “Ain’t that the truth?! I don’t know. I guess I just still don’t get it. I keep expecting to wake up to find all of this a dream. Waking up in my little studio, still crushing on some douche, which will never go anywhere and watching your movies, fantasizing about what it would be like to meet you. I did have a huge fangirl crush on you for years, ya know.” Sunny grinned up at him, still unable to process that he was hers and would be forever.

  “If I have to spend the next fifty years trying to convince you that you’re the love of my life, I’ll gladly do it. I just wish I could’ve met you years ago. But I can tell you one thing, I’ve never in my life been so glad to have gone out for a beer.” Gabe leaned over to kiss the tip of Sunny’s nose.

  The cab pulled up to the front of their hotel, Gabe helped Sunny out of the car and led her into the building, straight to the elevator. A few other hotel guests got onto the elevator with them. They silently stood next to each other holding hands, anticipation building. Gabe knew that her hands were an erogenous zone, so he purposefully started to caress her hand. Her mouth opened on a silent gasp. Her eyes closed and her chest rapidly rose and fell with every pant. With every exhale of her breath Gabe’s pulse pounded in unison, his blood flowing straight to his groin with the familiar tightening of his pants.

  The elevator doors opened and the few people that were left exited, leaving Gabe and Sunny alone. Before the doors could fully shut, Gabe had Sunny in his arms and up against the wall in a split second. He crushed her lips with his, plunging his tongue into her sweet warm mouth. She clung to him like a second skin, never getting close enough. The elevator dinged the top floor and they tumbled out, Gabe walking Sunny backwards to the door of their suite.

  Gabe fumbled around in his pocket trying to find the keycard, unwilling to relinquish his hold on Sunny’s lips to search for it. Finally finding it, he was able to get the door unlocked without even looking. Lifting her up, he walked her over to the bed to lay her down. He stood up and started to unbutton his shirt, but before he could finish the first button, Sunny sat up quickly and crawled towards him on her knees on the bed.

  “No. Let me.” Sunny said softly, slowly undoing each button with a slight tremor in her hands.

  “What’s wrong?” Gabe asked looking at her with concern.

  “It’s nothing. I’m just so overwhelmed with emotion, it’s coming out any way it can.” Sunny smiled up at him reassuringly.

  “Well then, I have just one question…are you happy?” Gabe asked stroking a hand down her soft cheek.

  “Beyond belief.” Once again tears glistened in her eyes.

  Gabe swiped his thumb across her cheek catching a single drop that rolled down. He took a deep breath, recognizing the need to tamp down the passion that raged through him. This was a moment that needed to be savored and cherished.

  “I love you Madison.” Gabe whispered before dipping down to gently kiss her soft lips.

  She moaned against his mouth, opening her lips to flick her tongue against his lips. Overcome, Gabe wrapped his arms around her pulling her tight against him, to deepen the kiss. He dipped his tongue into her awaiting mouth, stroking hers, diving in and retreating, imitating what he had planned for her body. Pulling back slightly, he nibbled, licked and bit at her luscious lips.

  Sunny’s hand squeezed in between their bodies, to finish unbuttoning his shirt. She pushed the shirt down his arms, letting it fall to the floor. Pulling away from the passionate kiss, she pulled his undershirt over his head. The moment it cleared his head, their lips came back together, neither able to get enough. Sunny started to unbuckle his belt, unzipped his pants and reached into his boxer-briefs to wrap her hand around his thickened cock.

  Gabe released her lips, throwing his head back on a gasp at the feel of her delicate warm hand clasping him. She took the opportunity of the broken kiss to sit in front of him on the edge of the bed. She pulled down his pants and briefs, helping him out of his shoes and socks before he stepped out of the pants. His thick shaft bobbed near her mouth, awaiting the feel of her lips around him. But Gabe always felt guilty about letting her perform oral sex on him, her small mouth barely able to get around him.

  “Sunny, you don’t have to. I’ll never last.” His body raged in protest.

  “Hush. We’ve got all night.” Sunny reprimanded.

  Gabe did as commanded, his body tightening in anticipation. Sunny wrapped her left hand around him again, her right still casted and unusable. Leaning forward, her tongue darted out to lap up the pre-cum on the head of his erection. Slowly her mouth slid over the mushroom cap, enveloping him in the wet warmth of her mouth. The feel of her lips around him was indescribable, but to look down and see her mouth on him was nearly his ruination.

  She was only able to reach about a quarter of the way down, but her hand assisted the rest of the way. Her head bobbed up and down and her hand twisted and stroked down his length in unison. He gritted his teeth, his jaw flexing and nostrils flared. The second that he thought he had control and thought he’d be able to last longer, Sunny decided to moan, humming around him. It was his undoing.

  “Ah God, Sunny I’m gonna come.” Gabe panted, warning her.

  Sunny sped up her pace, taking him as deep as she could go; making him hit the back of her throat. His sack tightened and on a loud shout he came hard in her mouth. Sunny released his semi-soft shaft on a gasp, after swallowing every drop of his orgasm, looking up at him with heavy lidded eyes.

  Gabe’s passion snapped, grasping Sunny under her arms he lifted her up and tossed her onto the middle of the bed. He flipped up the skirt of her dress and ripped down the pretty little frilly white panties down her legs and tossed them away. Quickly he slid his hands up her legs from ankles to knees and then spread her thick creamy chocolate thighs open, fitting his shoulders in between. The scent of her arousal intoxicated him. He lowered his head to her wet opening, taking a quick swipe of his tongue up her hot slit. Sunny’s hips bucked against his face and she cried out in need.

  Her rich nectar coated his tongue as his tongue continued to plunge into her. Her hips moved to bring him closer to her aching clit. Sensing her need, he obliged her, flicking his tongue up to tease the tiny nub. The cries escaping her lips and the uncontrollable movements of her body sent the blood roaring in Gabe’s ears straight to his manhood, making him hard once again.

  He brought out every bit of his oral arsenal. His tongue stroked up and down, swirled around in circles, made figure eights; and his lips nibbled and sucked on her clit driving her to the point of madness. Her cries turning into screams, her hips turning into pistons fucking his face and her hands dove into his hair holding him in a death grip.

  Sliding his index finger into her tight warmth and crooking his finger up to hit her G-spot, Sunny’s body stopped and tensed, a scream logged in her throat for a split second. Then her entire body started to tremor violently, her thighs quivering against either side of his face and the scream released from her throat; her climax ripping through her body.

  Gabe got on his knees in the middle of the bed, sat back on his hunches and pulled Sunny up to straddle his hips. He slowly lowered her onto to his once again erect length. She arched her back and threw her head back in ecstasy as her wet heat encircled him. He lowered the zipper on the back of her dress and slowly worked the dress up and over her body, tossing it on the floor with his clothes. He unclasped her bra, releasing her full breasts from their binding into his large palms.

  Once she was fully bared to him, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, using him as leverage to lift up and slowly ride up his extensive length. His hands clutched her ass as he guided her back down. Their
bodies began to glisten with sweat as they strained against each other. Sunny squeezed her muscles around him, shooting pleasure through them both. Sunny’s back bowed and Gabe took advantage of her exposed breasts.

  He licked around one large milk chocolate areola, and then flicked his tongue across her erect nipple, alternating between each breast not wanting to leave the other out. With each flick of his tongue against the hardened buds Sunny cried out and clenched her inner walls reflexively, both of their climaxes simultaneously building with each pump of their hips.

  Releasing a tender nipple, Gabe looked up at Sunny whose head was thrown back as she rode him, rolling her delectable hips into him. He had never seen anything so beautiful in his life.

  “Sunny, look at me.” Gabe commanded, wanting to see her eyes.

  Sunny obeyed his order, looking at him with molten heavy-lidded honeyed eyes. He plunged his hands into her hair causing the pins holding it up to slip out, her curls fell down her back and around her shoulders in wild and sexy disarray. Gabe thrust up into her hitting the top of her womb and her lips opened on a gasp. He pulled her closer to him to flick his tongue out against her lush lips.

  Gabe felt her hot wet warmth start to quiver with the first signs of an impending orgasm. “Yes. That’s it Sweet Girl. Come for me.” Gabe said, pulling back to look into her eyes again, he watched as her pupils dilated and her breath quickened.

  He clutched at her hips, speeding up his pace wanting to share her climax. He pulled back and raised her up at the same time, pulling out just to the tip of his cock. Gabe hovered just a few seconds, prolonging the moment. Then he plunged back in deep, hitting the perfect spot and they both detonated. They shouted out each other’s names in unison as her walls milked him, contracting violently around him.

  Their bodies’ slick with sweat from exertion, they fell back, Gabe on top of Sunny, still slowly pumping into her until his seed was finally spent. They trembled from the overwhelming release.

  Gabe braced himself on his forearms and gently brushed Sunny’s hair out of her face. His thumbs caressed her cheeks as he gazed lovingly into her eyes. In that moment he suddenly felt so overawed that this extraordinary woman was his, had found him, that he felt tears at the back of his eyes.

  His throat worked hard as he tried to hold back the moisture. He had always been a tough guy. He hadn’t shed so much as even one tear since he was seven when he had realized his mother would never come for him. So the fact that this little spitfire of a woman had him tearing up on more than one occasion stunned him.

  He hadn’t cared about much in his life, except for his career. Women were interchangeable and no one girl held his attention for longer than a night or two. He was a loner and felt that he would be for the rest of his life. But the moment she had walked onto that patio two months ago, she had instantly become the center of his everything. He wanted to protect her, provide for her, even the decisions he made about his career were influenced by what she would think or how it would affect her. She’s my family now.

  “I love you so much Gabriel.” Sunny said in a wobbly voice filled with emotion.

  Her sincerely spoken words broke the dam and the tears that he had so forcefully held back spilled from his eyes to drop lightly against her face. Sunny reached up to lightly brush them away.

  “Babe, what’s wrong?” Sunny exclaimed with alarm.

  “I’m just so happy that I have a family now, a family in you. I never thought I’d have that.” Gabe struggled to keep it together.

  “Aw sweetie, of course you’d have a family. You have too much love to give, not to.” Sunny said, wrapping her arms around him tightly.

  Gabe laid his head on her chest, and she stroked her fingers through his hair till they both fell asleep, their dinner celebration forgotten.

  Chapter 7

  Sunny woke up unable to breath. For a split second she thought that maybe she was having a panic attack from the impending show they were scheduled to be on in a few hours. But then she quickly realized it was because of the two-hundred and forty pound man that was cocooned around her.

  Realizing that it was just Gabe’s massive muscular body suffocating her, she relaxed and started to breathe at an even pace to keep from waking him up a little longer, and to try to get in more oxygen.

  As she laid there in the few moments she had before they had to get up and start getting ready, she recalled the events of the previous evening. She couldn’t believe that he had setup that whole elaborate proposal. Holding up her hand she gazed lovingly at the beautiful ring that he had designed specifically for her. It was stunning and just right. She was sure he could’ve and probably would’ve preferred to get her something bigger, but even the two-carat yellow diamond was almost a little too big. She would cherish it anyway. AAAAHHHH! I’m engaged!

  She also thought back to how emotional he got after they had made love. He was such a big strong man that didn’t seem used to crying. But the fact that he was willing to show that side of himself, to show such emotion, touched her. He basically let her know in that moment that all he had ever wanted was a family to love and to be loved by, which only strengthened her resolve in bringing him and his mother back together.

  It also made her realize that she wanted to give him a family of his own as well. She had never really thought much of having kids. She was fast approaching thirty-five and had figured that she would never have any. After last night, she knew that having his babies would be the right thing for him, for them. He had all this love stored up inside of him, that he was never able to show anyone until now. He had so much to go around, that babies were the next logical step in order to bring it out of him. Beautiful curly haired babies, hopefully with crystal blue eyes.

  Smiling happily, Sunny started to softly stroke Gabe’s hair to gently wake him up. The tender movements only made him squeeze her tighter to him, truly cutting off her air supply.

  “Uh, baby…I can’t breathe.” Sunny choked out.

  Gabe abruptly let her go, sitting up quickly with bloodshot eyes. “What time is it? Are we late?” Gabe said somewhat frantic.

  “No, we have plenty of time. We don’t have to be at the studio for hair and makeup for another hour and a half.” Sunny said, rubbing his bare arm soothingly.

  “Oh thank God.” Gabe exhaled, plopping back on the pillows. “Good morning, Sweet Girl.” Gabe reached over and pulled Sunny close to him, snuggling her into his side.

  “We’ll see if it’s a good morning after the show is over and I haven’t completely embarrassed you or myself.” Sunny said with trepidation.

  “You’ll do fine. Just be yourself and everyone will love you. And if not, who the fuck cares, cause I’ll still love you. And that’s all that matters, right?” Gabe grinned down at her.

  “Right.” She smiled back.

  “Alright then, up you get.” Gabe said, pulling Sunny from the warm cozy bed.

  “But I don’t wanna go to school!” Sunny mock whined like a kid on the first day of school.

  Gabe just chuckled, and then smacked her on the butt to get her moving.

  ~~~

  Backstage of the television studio was organized chaos, and Sunny’s stomach was in knots. After a quick lovemaking session in the shower at the hotel, Sunny and Gabe had only partially gotten ready because they were told that they would get hair, makeup and wardrobe done at the studio. So they had left in jeans, t-shirts, wet hair and freshly scrubbed faces.

  Now as Sunny looked at herself in the mirror, the transformation was remarkable. Her hair was flat-ironed straight, and then manipulated into giant curling beachy waves with a large barreled curling iron. The alluring waves hung down to the middle of her back and framed her face perfectly. Her makeup was flawless; a daytime smoky eye and a slightly pinkish tinted lip-gloss.

  Having told them her size and measurements over the phone earlier in the week, the dress they had chosen for her was phenomenal. It was a strapless 50’s style Betsy Johnson creation; white
with a black pattern on it, which on closer inspection were tiny hand-stitched faces of Marilyn Monroe. They paired it with a wide bright yellow belt and strangely enough yellow suede wedge heels; almost an exact replica of her and Gabe’s favorite hot pink wedges, only real suede and with a peep toe. She knew Gabe would die when he saw them. As a finishing touch they added giant yellow hoop earrings. She thought it was funny that the color they chose for her to wear, matched her new engagement ring to perfection. Or maybe it wasn’t a coincidence at all. Nah…they couldn’t have known.

  The producer of the show ran into her dressing room again, to make sure she was almost ready. Since she was done, he seemed to relax a bit, only to fly off into a tizzy for some other unknown reason. After he bustled back through the doorway where he had come, Gabe came strolling in as if he didn’t have a care in the world.

  Sunny nearly drooled over the sight he made. He wore dark-washed demin jeans that hugged his tight ass and his customary white Nikes, a white button down collared shirt with a lightweight tight fitting white button up sweater that contoured to every bit of muscle and sinew on his upper body. The sweater had several black accents; the buttons, cuffs, zippered breast pocket and collar that had a cocky pop to it. And the last piece was a thin yellow tie to match her yellow accessories.

  His man scruff was trimmed and his jet black waves had a light amount of product in it and were finger-combed to sexy perfection. His sexiness knew no bounds. Everything she’d ever seen him in was enough to drop panties in his wake, but this was downright sinful.

  “Gabe…you look…sinful.” Sunny said breathlessly, giving voice to her thoughts.

  “I’ve got absolutely nothing on you. Dear God Sunny, you look decadent. This dress…your hair…and fuck my life those shoes! Please tell me we get to keep those, because they may be my new favorites?!” Gabe said in awe as he came to stand in front of her.
