'What do you have next period?' It was his best friend (and not-so-secret crush), James. 'Geometry. Marks. Why?' 'I thought so. You have a sub today, ...o I was wondering if I could take you out for your birthday.' 'Sounds good. When?''Next period. Duh. No one would notice you're gone. It'll be fun.' He tapped Hannah and showed her, then same with Elle. "I can cover you, if you want to go," she told him. She was in his geometry class. "I mean, it's your birthday, after all." He smiled at her.. ” He flinched and suddenly there was fire in his eyes. He leaned back to study her, clearly unhappy. “I’ve been too sheltered all my life, Gabriel. I just wanted to be on my own a while. It doesn’t mean I don’t want to be your girlfriend or marry you. I just want to have my own little place and work. Live normal.” His gaze lowered, thumb rubbing over her knuckles. “I can get a smaller place if you want. I already contacted my broker and put the beach house up for sale.” Her jaw dropped.. They had very delicate flavors unlike anything else in the world, and their skin was just so smooth and soft. He had tried his absolute best to give them a good experience. But he also tried to impart to them that it was worth waiting for that special person to share intimate moments with. It was because of his own lack of waiting that he was where he was. He hoped he had given them what they wanted and needed.He had been lost in this self-contemplation when Gena walked into his view. She was. He started tearing the packet off a rubber. ‘Hey handsome, that wasn’t pretty good at all.’ He looked at me and smiled. He knew how I played with him. ‘Scott, that was the all time best. You really know how to eat me.’ I motioned to what he had in his hands, ‘Do you mind if I do that installation? I want to keep my hands on you as long as I can.’ He nodded yes and lay with his back against the head board, his arms behind his head. He was looking and feeling like a king. I hadn’t noticed until.
