Gabe's Second Chance (Appledale 3)

Gabe moaned at her words and wondered if he would survive the night making love to this woman. He lifted her by her arms until she was standing up in front of him looking so sensual and earthy with her wet lips and tangled blonde hair. He was filled with so much emotion his heart felt like it might explode inside his chest. He had dreamed of having Karissa back in his arms for so long but he had resigned himself that all it would ever be was a dream. He laid her on the bed and covered her beautiful, flawless b

ody with his. He played with her nipples, tugging on them until she was moaning passionately. Karissa had always had such an open face and he loved watching the pleasure showing in her expression.

He opened her thighs wide with his hand and reached for her mound. She was soaking wet and didn’t care if he knew it. Making love had always been exciting and wonderful for them. Even though they spent years apart she trusted Gabe with her body and knew he was a wonderful and amazing lover and she couldn’t wait to experience that again.

“I missed your touch, Gabe,” she whispered as he rubbed her swollen clit with his fingers, making her body tighten with need and a fire start in her belly spreading like an out of control inferno. “Now stop teasing me, you bad man.”

“I thought you just said I was good, honey?” He laughed and replaced his fingers with his tongue, loving her sweet, juicy taste. He moved his tongue around her soft, pink folds, in and out, he licked her back and forth making her moan aloud with passion. He could stay here all night and die a happy man but she was already pulling his hair impatiently so he leaned back up and entered her slowly, looking directly into her eyes as her muscles clamped around his cock. He always enjoyed seeing what she was feeling. Right now her green eyes looked like newly polished emeralds. Here she couldn’t hide behind a mask of indifference or politeness. The wild, sexy Karissa always broke through, letting him know she needed and desired his touch. He knew he was being a jealous bastard but he wanted to wipe all memories of her cheating ex and replace them with only the memory of his touch. He knew she needed a moment to adjust to his large size but when she arched her back and grabbed his shoulders tightly he knew she was ready for a faster pace.

“You feel like heaven, Karissa,” he whispered, nuzzling her neck and nipping her earlobe, making her shiver. She smelled so good and the excitement he felt was increasing. Karissa was so snug, grabbing his cock like a tight glove. He set up a slow pace a first until she clamped down around him tightly with her vaginal muscles and wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, her hips rotating in a rhythm for him to go harder and faster.

“This slow pace is killing me, Gabe. I want more.” She pouted, looking straight into his eyes that were gleaming with excitement and desire. It turned him on to see the desire, the need blazing out of her eyes, knowing it was because of him. It made him feel proud inside to know she wanted him as much as he wanted her. It was so erotic and elemental to look into a lover’s eyes while inside her body, taking control and making you feel as if you were burning up alive.

“I want it to last all night long, Karissa, but you feel so good. It’s been much too long. You’re so hot and clenching down on me so tightly.” He groaned as the need and desire crawled through his body. He moved a little faster, thrusting hard and burying himself in her tight pussy, wishing he never had to leave it. “It’s been too long and I want to savor every second of being inside you again. I fantasized about this so many times over the years. But the reality is so much better.”

“Savor later or I’ll die for sure. This feels too amazing.” She bit his shoulder and threw her head back in passion and groaning. She bit her lip and moaned loudly, rotating her hips.

“Can’t have that, can we?” He sped up the pace, thrusting into her back and forth, harder and faster. She tightened her hold on him and soon he felt the wave flowing through his body like a shock of electricity and they both reached their climax together in a loud shout.

Gabe reluctantly pulled out of her body, feeling weak from the strength of his climax. He wrapped his arms around Karissa’s trembling body, holding on to her as if she might disappear. When his breath evened out and he could breathe normally again he asked her, “Will you stay all night?”

Karissa leaned over him, kissing him softly on the lips and smiled. “Can I be on top this time?”

“Anything for you.” He laughed as she wasted no time in straddling him around his hips, feeling his cock harden again and her eyes widen in delight that he was ready to go again.

“This was always my favorite view and still is,” he said softly and she gifted him with a joyful smile that hit him in the heart.

Chapter 9

Karissa pulled up in front of Liz White’s clothes store called Liz’s Boutique. It was located right in the middle of town. It was a charming brick building with potted flowers placed on either side of the doorway. It had a charming feel to the place and the large window showcased mannequins elegantly dressed. Casey had insisted they have a few hours of girl time, leaving the baby with Roy.

“I’m excited. I’m all cleared from the doctor, you know.” Casey elbowed her sister playfully as they parked and got out of the car. “You know what that means?”

“Ugh. I don’t want to hear of my sister and brother-in-law’s sex life,” Karissa’s answer was playful and dramatic. “I guess I’ll be spending more time with Gabe at his house.”

They entered the store together. “Like that will be a hardship,” Casey teased her sister affectionately. “You’re there all the time these days.”

Things had been going great for her and Gabe these last two weeks after she’d spent the night with him. She tried really hard not to get her hopes up too much but each passing day she found it harder and harder to keep her heart distant from Gabe. She had learned to be cautious over the years and getting her heart broken again was not something she wanted to do.

Liz came over to them with a welcoming smile. She looked elegant in a simple purple sundress and gold jewelry and sandals. Her baby bump was still small but it showed slightly beneath the dress.

“Stella says you have the best lingerie that will excite our men. I ran into her at the grocery store and we stopped to coo over each other’s babies,” Casey explained to Liz with a smile. “I just had a baby a few weeks ago and I think I lost my baby weight. Anyway I want Roy to go, ‘Wow, you’re hot’ and not, ‘Aww, honey, the baby threw up on you again.’”

Karissa made a face at her sister but laughed anyway at her sister’s problem. “Eww.”

“You look great, Casey,” Liz giggled at Casey’s honest statement, and led them toward the back of the store where the lingerie was displayed beautifully. It was obvious Liz knew about fashion. Everything was tastefully displayed and the variety available was awesome. “I just got some new things in. Stella had the same problem when she had Lily two months ago. She was a woman on a mission to wow her husband again and bought half my store.” Liz joked with them. “Haven’t seen her much since so it must have worked.”

They browsed through all the beautiful colors and silky material hanging on racks or placed neatly on shelves. “Wow, a girl can go crazy in here,” Karissa said in awe, looking around. She picked up an emerald-green teddy in silk with black lace trim. “You think dark green is a good color for me, Liz? I’m so pale, I need to tan or something.”

Liz looked at the teddy and held it in front of Karissa then shook her head. “No, it’s a good color for you, Karissa. I have one in red and I’m pale too, only I avoid the sun because I burn so easily. Gabe will love it I’m sure or how about hot pink? That is a sexy color.”

Karissa smiled happily imagining his face when he saw her in it tonight. “Great, I’ll take it in pink and I need a few new bras, too. This place is so fantastic, Liz. I think I will be in here a lot.”

Casey looked around at the racks filled with sexy nightgowns. “I can’t decide, Liz, help! I want them all but Roy will kill me if I spend too much.”

“Not until after he ravishes you first.” Karissa laughed, enjoying teasing her sister.

They spent some time browsing and just talking with Liz and they all made a date to meet for lunch along with Stella, Lacy, and Kari. Karissa was so glad she had moved back home. She had missed times like this in St. Louis. She had a few casual friends but no one she was really close to. Moving home had been a great idea and for once thoughts of the future brought her hope.
