Destiny Undone: The Complete Series Box Set (27 page)

“So the answer to your question is no, I don’t want to share you.”

She moved her hair to one side and smiled at me. “I’m so glad. I’m not good at sharing,” she said and she smacked my bottom playfully.

“I totally believe that, Miss Anderson.” Then I noticed she frowned at me. “What is it?” I asked.

“I wonder if I’ll have to change my name now, since I’m not really an Anderson.”

“No way. Doug legally adopted you, so you have every right to be called an Anderson. You’d break his heart if you changed it.”

She slid her hand from my cock, across my chest and touched my chin with her finger. “Why? Why does she do stuff like this with me?”

I shrugged and said, “This is only a guess, but probably because you’re young and beautiful—way more beautiful than she ever was, and I’ve seen photos, by the way. You and Mills are close and Doug loves you. All perfect reasons for a jealous, aging model to harbor some animosity towards you.”

“But normal mothers aren’t supposed to feel that way about their daughters. At least I don’t think so, anyway.”

I stroked her hair and kissed her forehead. “Who knows what so-called normal moms do, but your mom is in no way a ‘normal’ mother.”

“That’s true. I guess I’m not normal, either.”

“Nope, and God knows, I’m glad you’re not.”

“I’m going to take that in a positive way, Gabriel Gregory.” Then she squeezed me and ran her hand across my stomach.

“You should, Pepper Anderson.” She kissed me, long and soft, and soon my cock was rock hard again.
God, what does this kinky, hot babe do to me?
She climbed on top of me and started grinding her hips until the head slipped past her pussy lips and I groaned. “Pep…you are the sexiest woman in the world.”

“You just say that ‘cause you’re inside me,” she grinned.

“No, babe, for real. You are one hot lady.”

With that she pinched both my nipples and the sensation drove me crazy. No girl had ever pinched me there before and I wasn’t even sure if I liked it, but with Pepper doing it while my fat cock rocked inside her wet pussy, it just made my arousal more intense.

“Gabe…?”

“Yeah?” I said, while I guided her hips with my hands.

“Fuck me hard. Nasty, dirty…” she moaned. I couldn’t get over how horny she was, all the time. I held her hips tight and thrust into her. She smiled and teased, “Harder, big guy. I want to feel your fat cock in my throat.”

I flipped her on her back and placed her legs across my shoulders, and with one long stroke, I slid inside her again and pounded her pussy while she moaned. God, I couldn’t believe this tiny girl could not only take it, but take it with a smile on her face. “Yeah, like that, Gabe. Ahhh…yeah…”

My balls tightened and I was getting near the edge, but I wanted to hold back until I could feel Pepper about to explode. I wet my finger with her slick pussy and slowly slid it into her ass. “Fuck! Gabe! Fuck, yeah!” she yelled so loud and moved her ass back and forth to fuck my finger. I slid another finger inside her and she came—with me—really hard.

Our growls and moans filled the air as I shot a wad of jizz up inside her. Her asshole throbbed on my finger and everything in my mind went dark.

“I love you, I love you. God, Gabe, I love you,” Pepper mumbled through her cries of ecstasy. I slid my fingers out of her and rolled over on the bed.
God! That was good—no, fucking amazing!

I looked across at her with a huge smile on my face and just watched her chest heave. Her legs were still trembling from her orgasm. “Gabe…you’re an amazing fuck,” she whimpered

“You, too, and thank you, Pepper. I want to be amazing for you.”

“You are…you really are.”

I savored every minute lying with this incredible woman, kissing and touching her silky skin. Just holding her close to me made me feel so alive. Eventually, we made it to the shower and soaped each other, kissing and laughing as we played in the warm water. When we’d dried off, we threw on our clothes and climbed back up top to witness hundreds of silver stars making their appearance in the darkening sky. Our wine was warm by now, but we sipped it anyway and sat quietly in each other’s arms.

“Let’s stay out here,” she said. Her beautiful, blue eyes sparkled with desire for me and I could read the signs. Naturally, I felt the same way.

“Tonight?”

“Yeah, tonight… or is that weird? I mean, if confessing my love for you through the hardest orgasm I’ve ever had isn’t weird enough already?” she smiled. I figured I’d let that one go. We were in a primal state of mind.

I laughed out loud. “Not weird at all. Let me see what kind of supplies we have on board. I’m sure you want to eat sometime.”

“Sure!”

I slid out of the seat and went below to scan our supplies.
Was spending the night together after an epic fuck too much, too soon?
It wasn’t like she’d be moving in with me. Still, I’d never had anyone spend the night before besides Pepper, but this was different. I peered in the fridge—eggs, bacon and butter—the items I’d bought for my last fishing trip and there wasn’t much else, but I had an idea.

I climbed back on deck and looked at my watch. It was still early enough to grab some dinner at Benny Lou’s and we wouldn’t have to drive, just take the boat over. I ran the idea by Pepper who immediately dug around in her bag for her makeup and a hair brush.

“I’d love that! I’ve never been. Do you think anyone will recognize me there, though? I don’t want to deal with any crazies, especially today.”

“No, I think I can get us into a private dining room they have off to the side. Let’s give it a try and if nothing else, I can get a takeout order and we can share it on the boat.”

“Sounds wonderful, Gabe. I am starving, now that you mention it.”

“You got it!” I pulled up the anchor and turned the boat back towards the bay. After a few minutes, she came up behind my chair, put her arms around my neck and kissed it.

“Thank you for this. I needed to get away.”

“I’m glad to do it. Everyone needs some time away occasionally. I know I do. My parents drive me crazy sometimes, too.”

“Really? How do they do that? By being awesome and normal? I hear that your parents are like heroes, always helping folks. That’s got to be cool.”

“Sometimes, but then…who agrees with their parents? They can be wrong sometimes.”

“Yeah, they can.” She kissed my neck again, and I grinned. Her soft lips on my skin felt wonderful. “Now, as much as I love it, if you don’t quit that, we’ll never make it to the restaurant and you’ll be stuck eating old eggs and questionable bacon.”

“Oh, yuck. Okay, I’ll behave.”

“Well, don’t get carried away with it. I don’t like well-behaved girls,” I laughed.

She looked me in the eyes and raised an eyebrow. “Apparently not. You’re more of a rebel than you let on, Gabe Gregory.”

I grinned at her. If she only knew…

I woke up to the sound of water splashing gently on the side of the boat and the motor humming in a low drone—it was nice. I got dressed and went topside to find Gabe behind the wheel with a cup in his hand.

“Hey, babe! You want some coffee?”

“No, I’ll pass on that. I’m more of a frappuccino girl.” I walked over to him and put my arms around his waist. He was so handsome in his khaki shorts and button up shirt. “Are we heading home already?”

“Yeah, some of us have to go to work.” He smiled.

“Oh, come on. You’re the boss. You can’t tell me you
have
to go to work.” I leaned into him, rested my head on his back and felt his strong muscles move as he guided the boat back to shore.

“Speaking of work, everyone, including Bobbie Jo, hopes you come back soon. Now that your internship is done, you can take your pick of the volunteer positions. I’m sure I know which one Singh would like you to have. It’s only been a couple of days, but I’m sure he’s missing you.”

“You think so? I wondered if he’d forget all about me.”

“No way. Dolphins have wonderful memories and some studies suggest that they have the capacity to remember people they love—and even people that they don’t love. I’m pretty sure Singh loves you.”

“Well, why wouldn’t he? That’s one smart dolphin.” I kidded around and kissed his cheek playfully. “I’m going to make up my mind soon. I had some plans, but now I’m kind of wondering what I should do.”

“Because of Evangeline and Doug, right?” I slid my glasses onto my face. The sun was shining on the water and it was going to be a beautiful day.

“Yeah, I guess that’s made me re-assess my life now.”

“If I were you, Pepper, I’d do something for yourself, like get a college degree, or travel the world, or find some way you can make an impact on the community without worrying about them. Let them have their drama. You enjoy your life—in a positive way, of course.”

“I’ve never really thought about it before, never really had to.”

“The longer you agonize over this, the more delighted Evangeline will be. Don’t give her the satisfaction would be my advice.”

“Are you saying I should forget about it? Pretend that I don’t know the truth now?” I crossed my arms and felt a little confused, but I trusted Gabe’s advice. He was a reasonable guy who’d done something with his life, and at a young age. What he said made sense.

“No, I think you should get to the truth, but don’t let them see you sweat and don’t allow the outcome to wreck you. Believe it or not, you’re still going to be who you are, regardless of your last name.”

“It won’t be easy. She really knows how to push my buttons.”

“Only because you’re so predictable when it comes to her.”

“Ouch!” That stung a little, but it was true.

“I didn’t mean to be hurtful. I just call it like I see it, but…you aren’t predictable with me.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“It is, so tell me…and don’t take this the wrong way—I say it with the utmost respect...”
God, what is he going to say now? Something positive, I hope. I’d hate to leave our little boat trip with a bad attitude.

“How’d you get so freaky? I mean…”

“Freaky?” I felt myself blush.
Is that what he thought of me? A freak?

“Yeah, like, when you’re with me, you’re the hottest, most uninhibited girl I’ve ever known. It’s crazy-good.”

Well, that made me feel better. At least I was crazy-good. “I don’t know. It’s just when I’m with you, I feel free, like you aren’t gonna judge me. You’re probably the only person that doesn’t. I can be myself—for real.”

“So you’ve never felt free with any other guys?”

“Gabe, I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but I’ve only been with one other guy in my whole life besides you, and you know who that is.”

“Yeah, Church.” He turned back to face the water with a pained look on his face and I hoped I hadn’t hurt his feelings.

“Were you in love with him or did you just scream those words while he fucked you hard?”

“Gabe! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring him up, but I didn’t realize you wanted a virgin. I’m sorry I even told you.” I stomped over to the seat, flopped down on the cushions and thought about our previous night of passion.
He just used me. Just like Church—use me for a good fuck and send me on my way. Asshole.

He turned off the engine and came and sat next to me. He put his hand on my leg and I jerked away. “Pepper, please. I’m sorry. I guess I’m a little jealous of what you had with him. Don’t know why, but I am. I didn’t mean to say anything to upset you. I really like you.”

“So my freak flag won’t scare you away?”

“No…nothing you do will scare me away and I think the fact that you can feel so free with me will bring us closer together.” He smiled at me and I smiled back.

“Promise?”

“Pepper, I can’t promise you much, but I will promise you that nothing you can do or say will scare me away. I love hanging with you.” Then he stood up, took my hand and lifted me to him. Within seconds, his lips were on mine, and he wrapped his arms tightly around me and pulled me close to him. He was so big and strong and I felt safe—safe from my thoughts and safe from the hurt—safe in his arms.

Gabe started the engine again and we headed back to shore. Thirty minutes later, I drove away from the marina feeling a little tired, but much happier. I was so lucky to have someone like Gabe in my life and once I was back on land and on the road, my cell phone began to ding. There’d been no signal out in the Gulf of Mexico—getting away from technology was another reason to love the open water—and not all the messages had hit my inbox. I stopped at a coffee shop and scanned through my phone while I waited. An apology from Mills, two inquiries from Dad and a long email from Aven, reminding me that her birthday was the next day and could I come by? By the time my caramel macchiato arrived, I’d told Mills that I accepted her apology, I’d let Dad know I was fine and replied to Aven that I’d meet her for lunch.

Everyone seemed happy, but now I had to go shopping. I’d kind of written Aven off as a friend a little after Mills’ party, but it felt good to see her name in my inbox again. We’d been through so much together, partying like two uncontrollable ‘wild childs’ as teens, but we’d made it through. I threw my phone back in my bag, grabbed my coffee then drove home. Daddy’s car wasn’t in the driveway and when I walked through the front door and called out, nobody was home except the housekeeper, and I was kind of glad about that. I didn’t want to answer a lot of questions right now and what I had with Gabe was private. That was new for me.
