Chapter Nineteen
Gabby's eyes opened slowly. Outside her bedroom window, the clouds of blue moved across the sky like notes on a sheet of music. Birds chirped and tweeted in vocal accompaniment. The sweet sight and sounds couldn't match the joy that strummed through her heart.
Prince's nose was tucked behind her ear. His mouth blew soft breaths along her neck. His arms were wrapped around her tight. His eager cock pressed into her back.
Gabby turned and reached down for him, thrilled that she was finally able to do so. But he stayed her hand.
"You're sore," he said.
Gabby ignored him. She hitched a leg over his hip and rubbed her bare core against his stiff rod.
Prince groaned. "Gabby." His tone was a warning, but he didn't stop her.
She aligned herself with him. She rubbed the fleshy part of his cock against her soft folds and winced.
"I told you so," he said, sitting up.
"I don't care."
"I do," he said kissing her lips. He moved her hips back until she was sitting in his lap with his cock between them. "I don't ever want to hurt you."
Her fingers encircled his cock, and he hissed.
"But I want you," she said.
"You have me." Prince gathered her into himself. "In every sense of the word, you have me."
She hadn't managed to get his cock back inside her that morning. Instead, Prince offered her his tongue. It was a consolation prize she'd accept daily.
After she caught her breath from more orgasms, and they washed and dressed, they ventured downstairs in search of sustenance. Before Gabby could pull out the fixings for brunch, she heard voices and splashing outside.
Hawk and Eagle had made an impromptu visit home. At the pool deck, Ellie sat on Eagle's lap. His thumb and index finger toyed with the strap of her bikini bottom while she giggled as he whispered in her ear.
Hawk was in the pool with the pretty nurse from the hospital. Cleo, was her name if Gabby remembered correctly. Back at the hospital, Gabby had sensed that there was an attraction between her and Eagle. But now, Nurse Cleo and her brother splashed around in the pool playing basketball. When Hawk snagged the ball from Cleo, she jumped up and wrapped her legs around him. He caught her by the ass which freed the ball from his hands. Cleo took advantage by grabbing the ball and making the shot. In retaliation, Hawk gave the nurse's ass a firm spank.
"Gabs," Prince whispered in her ear. "Why don't we go back inside and let them have the pool."
He gave a tug, but Gabby stayed put. She'd known that Eagle and Hawk were wild when it came to women. She also knew the two males had shared everything since they were boys.
"Hey, look everybody," shouted Eagle. "There are the newlyweds."
Ellie hopped off Eagle's lap and came up to Gabby with her arms thrown wide. She enveloped Gabby in a hug. "Congratulations, you two."
"We're not …" Prince began but gave up. "Thanks," he said accepting Ellie's hug.
Gabby smiled up at Prince and his look of resignation. She wrapped her arms around his bicep and led him over to the lounge chairs with the others. He came willingly.
"Are you going to wear an engagement ring?" Ellie asked. "Did you know the custom springs from Rome where wives wore rings attached to keys indicating their husband's ownership and-"
"El," said Hawk with a warning tone before his girlfriend went off on one of her info dumping tangents. But there was a smile in his voice and on his face. The way Hawk looked at Ellie, Gabby knew that her brother was thinking about his own lock to put around this girl.
"Ownership can be a good thing," said Cleo as she took the vacant seat in Eagle's lap. "But it depends on the owner. Instead of a ring, I gave my girlfriend a gold choker."
Gabby's eyebrows rose to her hairline. "You have a girlfriend?" She looked up at Eagle. "And a boyfriend?"
Eagle winked at her.
"Yep," said Cleo as she tucked her toes under Eagle's thighs. "I don't knock marriage. I believe in lifetime partnerships. I'm devoted to my Toy."
"That's her sexual submissive," offered Ellie from the comfort of Hawk's lap.
"Are you a dominatrix?" Gabby asked.
Cleo nodded.
"Is Eagle your slave?" Gabby asked.
Both Hawk and Ellie laughed. "She wishes," Ellie said.
Eagle only grinned. He looked up at Cleo with the same adoration that Hawk shone on Ellie. "I'm at her service," he said.
Cleo grinned back, trailing a finger down his bare chest. "Yes, you are."
"Hey," growled Hawk. "Don't corrupt my baby sister."
"I'm pretty sure my brother's already done that," said Eagle.
"You did what, Yohaness?"
Six heads turned to the gate that connected the Hernandez and Obademi properties. Prince and Eagle's mom stood just inside the open gate. Her eyes weren't on her younger son and the woman sitting in his lap. No, they were on her eldest son and the woman sitting at his side with her fingers entangling his.
"What are you doing holding hands with little Gabby?" said the judge. "She's too old for that."
Which was it? Was Gabby a child or was she too old? Gabby made a move to stand, but Prince slowed her motion. He held onto her waist as he rose coming alongside her. He wrapped his arms around her and faced his mother.
The judge frowned as she looked at the two standing side by side, but she continued on. "I've been looking for you because Kemi stopped by yesterday."
Prince gave a shake of his head. "I'm not interested in Kemi. I'm with Gabby."
The judge's mouth slackened. She took a step back as though she needed a different vantage point to take in the scene before her. She got the same look as Prince when he was working out a problem. It was the same look that Gabby knew she got when she was trying to figure out how to get her own way. Finally, Mrs. Obademi held up her hands.
"It's your life," she said on a slow exhale. "Who you date is your decision. But it's a decision I'm going to have trouble supporting."
Gabby felt Prince tense beside her, but he didn't follow his mother as she made her way back towards the gate. Before she reached it, the door to the pool house opened.
A mop of red hair backed out of the door, followed by a mess of braids strewn haphazardly into a low ponytail.
"Promise me, you won't tell a soul?" Diniece was saying.
"On my honor," grinned Chief, making the sign of the cross on his chest.
Diniece leaned in for another kiss. But her face fell as she caught sight of the crowd gathered over Chief's shoulder.
Chief turned and then gulped. "Good morning, your honor."
The judge only shook her head and then continued on through the gate, closing it behind her.
