GABE
Back home, Gabe went straight to the den. He could drown himself in movies to try and forget the pain. That could work.
The only thing keeping him a little sane was what she had told them last night. She loved them. She fucking loved them as much as they loved her.
“Gabe?” Her voice washed over him, and he pulled himself up from laying on the black leather couch.
“Hey, gorgeous.” He watched her walk to him and he noted how she sat very close to him on the couch.
“Are you okay?” She took his hand. “I’ve noticed you’ve been… down.”
Gabe swallowed and looked away from her.
“Gabe, talk to me,” Riley commanded softly. “We’ll never… get over all this if we don’t talk to each other.”
“I missed what you found. That… fucking sucks. You got hurt because I missed it, because I couldn’t put the pieces together,” Gabe blinked back tears. Riley pushed him back into the couch and straddled him. “I was taking Adderall to… to keep going while in Denver but it didn’t work. Well... it did but it didn’t give me what I wanted.”
“Gabe…” she leaned down and kissed him and he felt like he was home. He found sanctuary and love in it, found forgiveness. “None of what happened is a single person’s fault. Not yours, not mine, not Troy’s, Brenton’s, Zachary’s, and definitely not Andrew’s. We are a pride, Gabe. And I love you. I love you and for everything, I’m sorry. I forgive you for whatever you think you did.”
He groaned and pulled her back down for another kiss. He let her pull his shirt off and rub his chest and abs. Her nails scraped his skin, and he ripped her shirt open at the collar, making her gasp.
“Gabe,” she laughed, getting up off him. “Let’s do this a little different so I have clothing to wear when we leave.”
He growled as she pulled off her clothes. He followed suit and sat her down on the couch. He wanted to serve her. He wanted her to feel all the love he had. He pushed her thighs open and licked her inner thigh, listening to his favorite music: her.
He nibbled and teased, smelling how wet she got as he toyed with her until he made it to his destination. With a growl, he shoved his tongue in her and felt her hands grab his black hair. Her moans rang out, the whimpers were precious, and her screams echoed.
Her hips bucked as he licked her, enjoying the sweet taste of her. He felt the tremble, the ripple of exactly what he wanted. Her beautiful climax.
“Gabe!” Her exclamation was airy and passionate. He listened to her purr and crawled up her body. He heard the door to the den open but didn’t look to see why. He didn’t care.
He laid her down and got between her thighs, shoving in before she had a chance to stop him.
“Oh, gorgeous,” he growled. The door closed as he pumped into her. “I love you.”
Her nails bit into his back as she panted and screamed his name.
“I love you, gorgeous,” he bit the sensitive spot where her neck met her shoulder after that, working her until she came again and took him with her. Panting, he let her go, sitting up and seeing half closed eyes.
“I love you too, Gabe,” she gave him a soft smile and those words in her husky post-sex voice nearly made him hard again.
“Are we going to watch a movie?” Troy asked with a chuckle. “Or do you two want to go for another round?”
He looked over and didn’t find just his brother. Andrew sat with Troy on the right couch while Brenton and Zachary fought over space on the left.
“I figure we’ll all make it twenty minutes into this thing and fall asleep,” Brenton chuckled. “But we can try to watch a movie.”
Gabe chuckled and put his forehead to Riley’s.
“We were caught,” she whispered.
“Yeah, it seems we were.”
“You two definitely were,” Troy laughed hysterically. “Pretty girl, I thought you didn’t want to have sex in front of all of us.”
“I didn’t notice you come in!” Riley laughed back as Gabe shifted them to get comfortable. Zachary threw a blanket to him, so he could cover them up.
He noted that Riley’s scent didn’t have any embarrassment in it. After all this time, she didn’t have a care in the world about who saw her with who. He nuzzled into her hair and promptly fell asleep, his heart lighter than he’d ever thought it could be.
