Swept (11 page)

“I heard you the other night; when you came over to see Emily. The night we met for the second time” Gabriel pauses for a second, his eyes light up as he realizes what I’m talking about.

“Did you like what you heard?” Gabriel grins.

I bite my lip, “What do you think?”

“I think you liked what you heard.”

“I think you’re right.” I flirt; Gabriel approaches me, holds me tight, and kisses me. I’m swept away in his kiss. My body aches to feel him inside of me. I can feel his erection press against me through his jeans. Gabriel begins to kiss my neck, I gasp as my desire grows. I feel my panties getting wet. He pulls my shirt off, and stares at my breasts still encased in my bra.

“That’s not going to do at all,” He tuts as he reaches around and unhooks the clasp; he pulls the straps down my arms and my bra falls to the floor. “Much better” he approves as he stares at my bare perky breasts. He cups each breast and sucks on each nipple making my nipples harder, and making me gasp.

He moves back up to my mouth and kisses me. I feel his tongue brush against mine, and I slip my tongue into his mouth. I grab the bottom of his shirt and pull it over his head revealing his cut abs. I lightly brush my fingers over his muscles feeling their definition.

Gabriel kisses me again and moves me back against the door of my room. I’m pinned as he presses against me. He sucks my breasts again, and I moan with pleasure. His mouth moves lower and lower down my body, tasting me with each kiss. His mouth is above the top of my jeans, he unbuttons them, unzips them, and pulls them down my legs, kissing my bare flesh as they get lower and lower. My pants are around my ankles Gabriel moves back up to my panties, grabs them with his teeth and slides them down my legs; leaving my panties around my ankles with my jeans. He stands up and kisses me; his hand gropes my breast then slides down to my wet pussy. He cups my vagina then slides his index finger over my clit. I gasp as tendrils of pleasure course through my body. Gabriel slides a finger inside of me. “God, you’re so wet.” He says huskily.

Gabriel sucks on my breast while sliding his fingers in and out of me. The feeling is delicious. I throw my head back as pleasure consumes my body. My breathing becomes heavy as I enjoy his touch. Gabriel moves from my breast and kisses me down as he gets on his knees. He puts my legs over his shoulders and wraps his arms around my legs and buries his face into my pussy. I feel his tongue brush my clit, and then I feel his tongue inside of me. I gasp and wiggle my hips wanting more; wanting him deeper. My legs tense up and my toes curl as he sucks my clitoris “You’re, you’re amazing.” I say between breaths. Gabriel looks up at me, then he stands up and kisses me; I can taste myself on his lips and I decide that I like how I taste. I slide my hands down his ripped body to the top of his jeans. I cup my hands over his boner and feel the length of his cock. I move my hands to the button of his jeans and unbutton them and unzip them. I slide his pants down his legs. Gabriel steps out of them He kisses me again and I get down on my knees. I look at his erection. He’s huge, but I know that already; memories from the night before flash in my mind. The memory of him inside of me makes my body quiver. I grab his penis with my hand and wrap my lips around it. He tastes salty, yet sweet. I take him in as deep as I can go, and hold my left thumb inside my fist so I don’t gag. I hear Gabriel moan. I swirl my tongue around the tip of his penis and take him in deep again. My right hand reaches up and massages his balls. “Take it,” He says his voice dripping with pleasure. “Take it all, you whore.” His words cause me to suck harder. I love it when he calls me names. I continue to suck his cock, moving him in and out of my mouth and swirl my tongue over the tip. Gabriel’s hands are on top of my head encouraging me to go faster. I speed up, sucking harder bobbing faster. Gabriel breathes harder. “I’m about to come.” He says between breaths. I bob faster while rubbing his sack with my hand. Gabriel lets out a groan. The same groan that takes me back to the night I heard him with Emily. My mouth fills with his release and I swallow quickly. I feel proud of myself bringing him pleasure.

Gabriel pulls me up next to him and kisses me. He gropes me and rolls my nipple between his thumb and finger. I gasp again. Gabriel pushes me back towards my bed and lays me down on it. I slide my hand down his body and grab his cock. It’s already hard and ready for more. “How do you want me?” I ask hoping he’ll flip my on my stomach and take me. He put his hand on my hips. It’s as if he’s read my mind. He flips me over and pulls my bum up towards his erection. “Like this he says,” smacking my butt with his hand. I yelp with surprise and Gabriel chuckles. He gets up from the bed. “Stay just like that.” He orders. I do as he asks and soon he is next to me again. He slides his penis inside of me and I gasp as I feel full; his dick feels so hard.

“Your pussy is so tight.” Gabriel moans as he beings to thrust into me. I moan and grab the sheets on my bed. He pushes into me slowly then quickly backs out, and then does it again, teasing me. I move my hips into him as he gets closer. I want him to thrust harder and faster. “All in good time.” Gabriel teases smacking me on the butt again. Gabriel continues to toy with me “Gabriel” I call wanting him to speed up. “I like it when you say my name.” He says and slightly speeds up his pace. “Gabriel, please.” I beg. Gabriel wraps my hair around his hand and holds his hand at the nape of my neck. He gives my ass a smack and thrusts harder. I feel myself begin to build. This is what I’ve been wanting. This is what my body craves. I breathe harder as his thrust get quicker and harder. My body meets his thrust for thrust and I feel myself getting hotter as I continue to build. My body begins to quiver, I’m about to come. Gabriel thrusts faster and then I feel his hand on my clit as he rubs it and finally I explode. I scream as I fall apart into a million pieces. All I can feel his Gabriel thrusting into to me harder than before, and then he moans as he finds his release. He lies on top of me as we gather ourselves. Gabriel rolls off and disposes of the condom he grabbed earlier from his pants. Gabriel lies next to me and I fall asleep in his arms.

Chapter Fifteen

Mother

I’
m awake and staring at Gabriel. He looks so perfect; His chiseled abs and chest rise and fall evenly as he sleeps. How can it be that someone like him wants to be with me? How am I so lucky? I feel like I didn’t have to even work to get him to like me, he just fell from the sky and into my life, or maybe blown was a better word; he blew into my life. I think back to the first day I met him; my escaped pamphlet being carried in the wind away from me and towards him. Was it destiny for us to meet?

I hear my phone ring across the room; Gabriel stirs and I jump up and grab my phone from my purse. “Hello?” I answer as I tip toe out of my room, not wanting to wake Gabriel.

“Hi Honey!” My mom greets on the other end.

“Mom! How are you?” It feels so good to hear her voice.

“I’m tired, but I’m so happy to hear your voice. How’s your first week going?”

I pace the sitting room, “Stressful, it’s not as easy as I thought it would be.” I admit.

“Just remember stay focused. You did wonderful in high school, and if you keep the same drive and determination, you’ll be rocking college in no time.”

I laugh at her statement. “I’ll try, mom.”

“How’s Ryan and Kelly?”

I take a deep breath before answering, “Kelly is fine, but Ryan is in jail.”

“What? How? Are you okay? Is he okay?

I sit down on the couch, “It’s a long story, but I’m fine. I don’t know how Ryan is. I haven’t heard from him.

“I’m glad you’re okay. Are you doing anything for fun? I know how much you like to study.” She laughs.

“I feel like it’s been just the opposite. Every time I try to study other things happen and I get distracted.”

“What’s wrong?”

“There’s a guy, he was with my roommate. I wasn’t trying to come between them, but it happened anyway, and now she is mad at me and requesting to be moved to a new dorm.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. Try not to get too wrapped up with this guy. I know it’s fun and I know how good it feels to have someone in your life that likes you like that, but it can also become a big distraction. If he becomes too much don’t be afraid to tell him. Don’t let anything stand between you and what you want to do. You have your whole life to find someone to love and enjoy. Just remember to keep your priorities straight and have fun along the way.”

“Thanks, mom.”

“Also, remember if you ever need me I’m only a phone call away. I don’t care if it’s the middle of the night, if you need me call me and I will answer.”

“Okay.” I tell her but we both know it’s not that easy. All of her long hours keep her from answering her phone.

“I’m sorry you’re stressed, and I’m sorry about your roommate, but I know my little girl and I know you’ll be just fine.”

“Thank you, mom” I tell her, hoping that it’s true, that I will be just fine.

We chat for a little bit before we say our goodbyes I hear a click on the other end and hold my phone to my chest. I miss my mom, If only she knew everything. I wonder what she would say then.

“Was that your mom?” I hear Gabriel from behind me.

I turn around, “Yes.”

“How is she?” Gabriel asks.

“Tired, but good.”

Gabriel wraps me in a hug. “You miss her, don’t you?”

“Yes.” I admit, there’s a lump in my throat, I swallow hard and try to hold back the tears that I feel forming in my eyes, I can’t cry in front of Gabriel. I just can’t.

“It’s okay to miss her.” He soothes.

Tears well up in my eyes, defying my best efforts of holding them back “I so scared of disappointing her,” my voice is thick and I wish I didn’t look so weak and vulnerable.

“What if I don’t do well? What if I fail? She’s worked so hard to give me the best life she can and what if I screw it all up?” Tears fall down my cheek. Gabriel wipes a tear from my face with his thumb. It’s the sweetest gesture anyone has ever made.

“It’s only the first week, you’ll be okay and I promise I’ll be here to help you,” Gabriel vows. I lean my face into his hand.

“But what if you find someone else?” I ask as another tear trails down my face.

Gabriel holds me tighter, “Crystal, there is no one else. I haven’t stopped thinking about you since the day I saw you. I won’t be going anywhere. I’m here to stay, even when you decide you don’t want me anymore.”

I squeeze him, “Thank you,” I whisper.

Gabriel lets go and steps back, “That’s what I’m here for.” He leans forward and kisses me. “I have to go. I have class in a little bit and I’d like to catch a shower.”

“Okay.” I sigh, not wanting him to leave.

His eyes search mine, “Are you going to be all right?”

I manage a tight reassuring smile, “Yeah, I’ll be fine.”

He turns to leave, “Can I have your number, so I can check on you later?

“Sure,” I answer and type my number into his phone and hand it back

“Thanks, I’ll see you later.” He says opening the door.

“Bye,” I wave as he walks out the door.

Sitting down on the couch my mind reels as I try to process everything that has happened. Tears trickle down my face as I become overwhelmed. Emily is gone, Ryan is in jail, and Gabriel is here to stay. My homework is piling up and I have no idea how I’m going to stay focused with so many distractions. Solace comes as my mother’s words come back to mind,
“Keep your priorities straight, don’t let anything stand between you and what you want.”
I Smile, my focus regained, and my strength is renewed. Sitting down at the table I dig my book out of the bag and begin working. Engrossed in my studies, I jump at the knock at my door. Confused I open the door and see Ryan standing there.

“What the hell do you want?” I ask; he’s the last person I want to see.

Ryan looks sad as he softly says, “Crystal, please, I need to talk to you.”

I cross my arms, “Why should I talk to you? You tried to beat the crap out of Gabriel without even bothering to say anything to me.” I start to close the door; I can’t believe he has the nerve to show up here like this after what he did to Gabriel.

Ryan stops the door with his hand. “Please, I want to explain myself. I owe you that; just hear me out and when I’m done you can send me away.”

I decide that I want to hear his side of the story. I sigh heavily and invite him in, “How did you get out of jail?”

Ryan walks in and heads for the couch. “My dad bailed me out.” He sits and pats the seat next to him, wanting me to sit down.

Instead I take the empty chair across from him, “This had better be good.” I mumble.

Ryan takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly before launching into his explanation, “Crystal, I am so sorry I acted the way I did. I got so upset when you started talking to Kelly about Gabriel the other day. I couldn’t handle the idea of you thinking about someone else. You see, I like you, Crystal, well, not like you, but I love you. I’ve loved you for a long time and you’ve seemed completely oblivious to it and it only became more apparent the other day when we were out together. When I got back to my dorm I was invited out by some friends. I went with them and got drunk. I wanted to get my mind off of you. I wanted you to be able to like whomever you wanted, and it not hurt anymore. It was working too until I walked into that coffee bar and saw you kissing him. The only thing I could think of was how angry I was. I’ve seen you pick guys who have treated you like shit and tossed you aside; and I’ve always been there to pick up the pieces and put you back together. All I saw was the same cycle happening over again, and I took out all of my anger on Gabriel, and I’m really sorry I did that. I never should have done it, but I did. I regret it immensely, and now I’m worried that my actions have caused me to lose you for good. I don’t want to lose you Crystal, my life wouldn’t make sense without you, and I’m here apologizing to you right now begging you to forgive me. You don’t deserve what I did and I want you to give me another chance. Please, Crystal let me prove to you that I can be the right person for you. I want to prove to you who I am and treat you right.
