With a concerned expression, she asked, "What about the bakery?"
"For once I don't want to care about anything. The only thing I want to think about is the fact that I want to marry you. I want to take you away and spend every minute of the day with you." My fingertips traced her jawline. "I want to make love until we can hardly move."
Her mouth rose in a sinfully sexy grin, causing me to smile.
"Gabi, I want to make a baby."
I watched as her eyes went from happy, to shocked, to pure bliss. A sob slipped from her mouth as she started to laugh while tears slid down her face.
"I . . . I want . . . I want that too, Nic. So badly!"
Slipping my hand around her neck, I drew her mouth to mine. "Then we better get to starting."
Our mouths crushed together as Gabi picked up the pace. The sound of the water sloshing was hot as damn hell. Neither one of us gave two shits it was getting everywhere. Our sweet passion turned into a lust I couldn't describe. If I thought I could crawl into her body I would, and I knew she felt the same.
"That's it, fuck me faster."
She did what I asked. Her tits bouncing as the water went everywhere.
"Nic. I'm going to come," she cried out. Her hands splayed across my chest when her orgasm hit her, causing her entire body to tremble and her pussy to squeeze around my cock.
"Jesus," I cried out as we came together. My warm cum pouring into her body. Heaven on earth.
When she collapsed onto me, I wrapped her up in my arms. The once-hot water now seeming cold as Gabi shivered.
I reached for the drain and sat there holding her while the water level slowly fell. Reaching for the towel that was on the stool, I wrapped it around her.
She sat up, my cock still inside of her, jerking and trying to make another go at it.
When she smiled, my heart filled with love and contentment. For a quick moment, it was hard to fill my lungs with air as she gazed at me.
We both stood. I stepped out of the tub first, then reached for her hand and helped her out. Reaching for another towel, I put it around my waist then bent down to start drying off Gabi. She never took her eyes off of me while I dried off every single inch of her body.
With a grin, she said, "I love you."
Standing, I cupped her face within in my hands. "And I love you. More than anything."
Gabi covered her mouth and giggled. Her towel dropped to her feet and my eyes swept over that perfect body.
"Are we really going to elope, Nic?"
"Fuck yes we are, if you're down for it."
She nodded. "We have to tell someone though."
"Cole and Charity. I don't trust anyone in my family."
"Absolutely. Even Thano and Kilyn can't be trusted. She's been binging on your mother's desserts. Who knows what she would say to get more kataifi."
My hand was itching to touch her body. Pushing my towel down, I watched her eyes turn dark while taking in my naked body.
"When . . . when are we going to go?"
With a smug grin, I drew her body to mine, sliding my hand between her legs. I slipped my fingers inside her, moaning at how ready she was for me again.
"After I fuck you here in the bathroom. Then we'll figure it out."
"Yes," she responded breathlessly.
Lifting her, I pushed inside her and did exactly what I said I was going to do.
"YOU'RE DOING WHAT?" Cole asked.
I watched as Gabi packed up a small suitcase, a huge smile playing across her gorgeous face.
"We're heading to Reno then up to Lake Tahoe."
"You're eloping? Are you fucking insane! Not only will you have to deal with your mother, but we're all going to have to deal with Charity!"
Laughing, I shook my head. "Gabi will call her here in a bit, unless you want to tell her."
Cole huffed. "I'll pass on that invite. Are you sure this is what you guys want to do?"
"Positive. My family is in our business so much, and Gabi would really like for this to be something we do together. Alone."
"Is it something you want to do?"
"Yeah. It really is."
"Then all right. I'm happy for you, Nic."
With a chuckle, I pushed the back door open and stood on the porch. "A year ago, would you have imagined our lives to be like this? You have a baby on the way, me getting married. Crazy what happens when you meet the right person."
"Yeah, I was thinking about that earlier when I was watching Charity baking in the kitchen. She was humming and looked so damn happy. I was pissed at the little stunt she pulled earlier by getting on the roof, but when I realized why I was so mad, it didn't freak me out. A weird warmth spread through my chest."
Nodding, I replied, "I get that feeling a lot when I'm with Gabi."
