Page 41 of The Sicuro

“I told you there was nothing to worry about. No one will stare, or discuss you being here. Especially not now.” He places his hand on mythigh, looking me in the eyes. I feel my insecurities start to slowly fade away.

“You’re mine, and now everyone knows. So, they will respect you in the same manner they do me.” His words remind me that the world I now live in is not like it used to be.

As the evening goes by, I relax and we talk about general things, not business or anything too personal just to be safe. Gabriel’s hand never leaves my thigh, occasionally running his fingers over it.

It’s coming up to 11pm, and we discuss getting ready to leave until Anders approaches the booth.

“Boss, Mr Dale is here, he’s the guest of another member and would like to approach you.”

I recall that he was the one who approached Gabriel in The Manor and that he wasn’t interested in his application for The Sicuro. I don’t know what the application was for or the amount of funding that he required, just that Gabriel was going to decline it. Gabriel looks at me, and I give him a nod. If I am by his side in both business and pleasure, then I need to accept that these situations are going to happen.

Anders turns and makes eye contact with Mr Dale who starts to approach. Anders only steps slightly to the side to allow him to stand at the booth. You can tell he’s had some liquid courage to come over and his suit is still as poorly fitting as it was before.

“Mr DeMarco,” he tries to keep his word firm but fails. “I understand that myapplication has been declined and I was hoping that we could discuss possible options for it to be re-reviewed?” Each word he speaks seems to tremble out of him.

“There are no options, I am not inclined to invest in such a business which screams money laundering.” Gabriel’s tone is flat.

I keep my expression inscrutable regardless that I was unaware of the ‘business’ that Dale wants to develop.

“It’s not to money launder, it’s a basic business to provide my family financial support.”

“We both know that’s not the case, and even if it was, from the company that you keep it’s obvious that it wouldn’t be long before it developed into that. Now, I’m about to finish my drink and take my lady home.” His voice is deep and feels dark, yet still makes my body ignite.

With that Anders steps back and ushers Dale to leave, which he does with an exasperated huff and glare in his eye as if to be intimidating. Which in itself I find laughable, Gabriel wasn’t fazed when O’Connell had a gun pointed in his face, so a death stare is going to do fuck all.

Twenty-Five

Gabriel

As we leave and I guide Kelcie through the bar, there are a few nods from members in acknowledgment of us. My hand remains on her lower back, letting her know that I am not leaving her side. As we get in the car it’s like a weight has been taken off her shoulders. I slide my hand slightly up the slit of her dress, my hand gently resting on her bare thigh.

“It wasn’t that bad,” my voice still low, her eyes meet mine.

“It was OK, think I expected more but I don’t know what of.”

I knew her mind was running wild about what may or could have happened tonight, but nothing was ever going to. Now I’ve let the world know that she is mine, that she is off limits to all, and she will be granted the same level of respect that I receive. She will be treated like the goddess she is. If anyone doesn’t, I’ll make sure that they are corrected.

As much as I want to move my hand higher and release her tension by making her come all over my hand, I know that I need to give her time to take in how things are going to be now.I do not doubt that she will take it all in her stride as she has from the beginning. But knowing that this woman is the only one I want, no need, by my side until I die, I don’t want to do anything that would remotely push her even an inch away. So, I sit holding her thigh waiting, for what I don’t know. She stays looking out the window for the drive home not speaking which makes me wonder what the hell is going through her mind.

At home she’s sat in her oversized t-shirt, no sweats just her lace panties, which makes the blood rush to my dick. She’s at the breakfast bar with a glass of wine, after barely touching her drink in the club, she’s already halfway down this one. She poured me my whisky which is sat across from her.

“So, what does thisactuallymean now? For me?” She accentuates the word ‘actually’. My brows furrow in confusion, is this what has kept her silent? She notices my expression.

“As in what changes? I still want to work, I don’t want people to avoid me because I am yours, I don’t want to end up ‘trapped at home’ because someone has something against you.”

She looked away whilst telling me about her concerns like she wouldn’t be able to finish what she wanted to say. The way she does when she’s nervous, she remains looking out the window she takes a drink and shakes her head softly.

“I love you, but I can’t be someone that just stays home.” My heart beats hard and I can feel the blood run through my body, the sensation that flows with it makes me feel something Ihaven’t before, my focus stuck on those first three words. Her eyes snap to mine with the realisation that she spoke the words out loud. I’ve told her that I love her, but she hasn’t said it back, and I’ve never pushed it. I know how fiercely independent she is, and I was never going to push her in case it pushed her away.

I walk around to her, as always, her legs unconsciously open allowing me to step close to her, one of my hands softly grip the nape of her neck and the other her cheek keeping her gaze on mine. Looking over her face, I can see the thoughts race through her mind.

“It means that it’s now known that you’remygirl.” I accentuate the word my. “It means that it’s known that you manage the staff at The Sicuro. It means things only change when you say they do.” I pause looking into her eyes, hoping to see some relief.

“It means that I love you and that I wanted the world to know.” I move into her and kiss her softly but passionately, using every part of my strength not to pick her up and take her upstairs. She kisses me back, her hands wrap around my neck as mine move to her waist. I feel her body relax, as our tongues collide, invading each other’s mouths growing more and more sensual. My hand caresses over her ass and down the side of her thigh, she lifts it hooking it onto my waist. Fuck, I can’t hold back anymore, I lift her, and her thighs wrap around me, as her hands move through my hair, she releases an amorous moan. As I carry her upstairs, she undoes my belt and trousers releasing the pressure that it was causing onmy solid cock. She reaches in and grabs my shaft, causing a guttural growl to vibrate from my chest. By the time we make it to the bed, I have no control left in me, I need to take her. I drop her on the edge of the bed as I pull my shirt off over my head, she watches as she runs her tongue over her lower lip. I push my trousers down as I climb over her, and pull her panties to the side, running my fingers from her already wet cunt up and across her pulsing clit, she arches her back releasing low moans. I drive into her bottoming out in the first thrust, making her scream my name as she grabs my neck. I continue to fuck her, slow and hard, pulling almost all the way out with each thrust so that she feels every inch of me. My hand is gripping her hip with a bruising force keeping her in place and allowing me to watch her as I continue fucking her. The sight of her giving into the pleasure taking over her brings me to my peak. I slow down further wanting to savour every touch, I don’t want this to end yet. As I slowly push back into her, she reaches down and grips the base of my shaft, holding it she squeezes slightly as I drive into her causing a rough ‘fuck’ to be released from me. She keeps hold of me as I move my hips back and forth, as she looks at me, her eyes are dark and full of desire, I begin to speed up. I wrap my arm under hers and around her back, gripping her shoulder, I kiss her neck, before licking up to her jawline, tasting her, my teeth sinking into her skin. She lets go of my dick and as I drive into her, she wraps her arms around me. Our bodies are flush as I bring her to her peak,her body starts to tremble, and as her pussy tightens around my dick her nails dig into my back. I can feel that she’s about to explode around me.

“Hold it baby,” I demand, whispering in her ear, “wait for me”.

“Gabriel,” she whimpers, “I can’t.”
