We both set our glasses on the coffee table. Gabi slid down on the sofa while I took both feet and began massaging them.
"Mmm, that feels heavenly."
Her eyes closed and her lips slightly parted open. My dick was getting harder by the second.
I pushed a little harder and she gasped before letting out another moan.
"I think we should move this to your bedroom."
Opening her eyes, she asked, "Why?"
With a half grin, I replied, "Because I want your ass naked so I can give you a proper massage, that's why."
Gabi giggled and pulled her feet from my lap. Standing, I took her hand and led her to her bedroom. My heart was pounding like it always did when I was with this woman. She did crazy things to not only my body, but my heart as well.
When I shut the bedroom door, Gabi pulled her shirt over her head. My hands cupped her breasts while my thumbs rubbed her nipples through the thin lace bra.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
We both froze. "Fuck," I angrily said.
Gabi closed her eyes and sighed. "Terrible timing."
Cupping her face within my hands, I kissed her. Our tongues danced hungrily as I pulled her body closer. Deepening the kiss, we were lost in each other. If I thought I could go fast, I'd have taken her right then.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Goddamn it, I want you, Gabi."
Her hands moved down my back and over my ass where she squeezed me and pushed her hips into my dick.
"Come back by when you're done."
My forehead rested on hers as I pulled my pager out. "It could be hours."
"I don't care."
"You know the rule. Don't take care of yourself."
She smiled as her fingers traced along the stubble on my jaw. "I promise I won't."
I kissed her quickly again before pulling out my pager then my phone. My heart sank knowing I was leaving my sweet Gabi.
Calling in, I told Oliver I was on my way.
"There's a hostage situation happening."
Her eyes widened in fear. I kissed the tip of her nose. "It's okay, baby. I'll call and check in, but if you don't hear from me, don't worry."
She nodded, but I knew what I was asking was impossible.
"Gabi, if my job is going to-"
She lifted her fingers to my lips. "It's not. I can't help but worry and I'm sure I will always worry. But your job will never keep me away from you."
Smiling, I pulled her closer and kissed her softly.
I pulled back and looked into her eyes one more time. I asked, "Are you sure everything is okay, Gabi?"
The way she looked at me, I knew she was holding back something. I wasn't going to push her though. She'd tell me whenever she was ready, whatever it was.
"Everything's fine."
One more kiss and I was heading to my truck. I couldn't stop thinking of those sweet, soft lips pressed against mine. Or the way her hands felt moving over my body.
Shaking my head, I tried to clear my thoughts. I needed to have a clear head and couldn't afford a distraction. I made a mental note to talk to Oliver about Gabi.
By the time I got to the station and in the briefing room, I pretty much had my head clear. The only thing that still bothered me was the fact I knew Gabi was keeping something from me.
Sitting in front of my computer, I typed in Gabi's name and hit search. I wasn't sure why I did it, but I sure as hell wasn't expecting the results I got.
NIC HADN'T CALLED, and it had been over twelve hours since he left my place. I sat in the bakery at one of the tables in the back as I pored over financial stuff. Not my favorite thing to do.
Liza sat down across from me and handed me a cup of coffee.
"It's calm right now, but wait until we get closer to lunch."
I smiled. "I'm okay with calm."
Every time the door chime rang, I looked up in a state of panic. I wasn't sure why, but I was on edge. It could have been my phone conversation last night with Antonio that had me more nervous than normal. Of course, Nic walking up on my conversation had me even tenser.
"Gabi? Is everything is okay? You seem really distracted today."
With a reassuring smile, I nodded. My eyes caught a glimpse of Charity. She was an absolute basket case. I'd never seen her drop things like she kept doing and fumbling around with stuff. She was currently standing behind the counter staring off into space.
Enough was enough. I needed to speak with her and find out what was going on.
"Liza, will you excuse me? I need to speak with Charity in the office."
Standing with me, Liza nodded. "Sure. I need to get some cannoli's made, anyway. I've been staling."
