Summer Solace (22 page)

“Oh, Gabriel,” she whispered.

He carried her to the bed and gently placed her on it. Joanna was still shaking as he undressed and climbed in beside her. Joanna turned to him, her hands reaching to pull him close. Gabe held her for a few moments and then reached down and unfastened her bra, divesting her of her last piece of clothing. She sighed as he took her breasts into his hands and gently fondled them. She was soon moaning again as his fingers found her nipples.

“Gabe, oh,” she groaned as she arched her back, presenting herself to him to do whatever he wanted.

She was totally his, would give herself fully to him forever. He lifted her arms above her head and guided them to the rail of her headboard. “Hold on and don’t let go,” he ordered and watched as her fingers clutched at the wood. He began to kiss her again, one kiss soft and gentle, the next hard and demanding. She arched and squirmed beneath him. When he moved to suckle at her breasts, she shuddered.

“Gabe, please - please… I want to feel you inside me. I have to have you, please,” she begged.

Gabe shushed her with his lips. She groaned and squirmed, the feel of his erection on her stomach driving her insane. She wanted him inside her, filling her, claiming her. Gabe heard her whimper and felt his cock grow even harder. He stifled his own groan and lifted his body from hers. He smiled when she whined but when she moved her hands off the rail to reach for him, he took them and guided them back.

“Keep them here, young lady. I’m not telling you again,” he warned.

She moaned but nodded, her eyes glazed with her desire. Gabe climbed off the bed and found his jeans. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a strip of condoms. Joanna’s eyes lit up and she giggled wondering if he was planning to use all of them tonight. Gabe heard her and smiled as he ripped open the first packet.

“High expectations?” he asked as she watched him roll the condom onto his erection. She shuddered but managed to smile.

“A girl can hope, Sir,” she teased and then gasped as he straddled her and used his hands to spread her legs impossibly wide. Gabe positioned himself and began to push his way inside her inch by inch. Joanna shuddered and was soon begging him to go deeper, faster, harder. Gabe grinned as he teased her. It had been way too long and he had no desire to rush. After an eternity, he pushed the last bit until he had filled her completely.

Joanna felt incredibly full and stretched. When he began to thrust, she began to spiral. Her hands ached to hold him but she wouldn’t disobey. She knew he liked to bind her when they played and she had admitted to loving it as well. They had begun to explore their mutual desire for BDSM years ago and the moment he had ordered her to keep her hands behind her back, she had felt the tug towards the erotic play pull on her. She felt him lift her hips in order to drive even deeper into her. She had only a moment to moan before he took her over the edge and she screamed in pleasure. Gabe pulled another orgasm from her before her convulsions and contractions drew him to his own end. He continued to thrust in and out of her until he was sure they were both finished. He bent forward and gave each of her rigid nipples a kiss before moving to kiss her lips. She was limp and sated but when he moved off of her, she whimpered.

“It’s okay, honey. I’ll be right back,” he promised and then went into the bathroom to throw away the condom. When he returned, he was pleased to see she had stayed exactly as he had left her. Hands on the rails, legs spread wide. He saw her watching as he ripped another condom from the strip. “We probably won’t get through the entire strip, but I can guarantee at least another.” 

Her smile was huge and he chuckled.

By the time he pulled the covers up over both of them, Joanna was asleep. Her high hopes had been met as he had taken her twice more. When he had ordered her to her hands and knees, she had blushed but again obeyed. He had taken her from behind, his hands on her breasts, his fingers tugging and pulling on her nipples. Joanna had exploded again and again before he had finished. She had felt him drive deep and hard into her and her sex felt swollen and very tender. When he had teased her by showing her a fresh condom and arching his eyebrow, she shuddered.

“Oh, God, I don’t think I can,” she whispered, her body completely sated. He had bent to kiss her.

“Gabriel or Sir, remember?” he said with his lips still brushing against hers.

She smiled sleepily. “My Gabriel, I remember.” 

Her eyes closed and he knew she would be deeply asleep for hours. He tossed the unused condom on the nightstand and turned off the light after setting the alarm. It would be a short night for him if he wanted to get Amber home and back again. As he spooned into Joanna, he knew exactly what he needed to do.

Joanna discovered just how high her lover’s expectations were when his alarm sounded early the next morning. She didn’t complain though when he woke her with kisses all over her breasts, his tongue wetting each nipple into a taunt peak. He watched as she opened the condom he had recovered from the nightstand and rolled it over his erection. When he guided her to lay on top of him, she moaned and obeyed. Gabe ordered her to put her hands behind her after she placed his cock at her entrance.

“Ride me, Jo. Ride me well but do not move your hands,” he ordered. She had blushed at his command but was soon lifting and lowering herself on him, her moans filling the room. When he began to pull and tweak her nipples, her hands had almost come up but she had remembered his order.

“That’s my girl. All the way up and then down again, Joanna. I want to fill you over and over again.” 

She felt a rush of cream flow from her to coat his shaft as she rode him. She began to whimper at the need to climax, knowing he was not yet ready to follow her. She allowed the sensation of his fingers pressing her nipples flat before releasing them only to pull and twist them to guide her. She convulsed and flexed her inner muscles to milk him as she rode him. When she felt him begin to thrust his hips up to meet hers, she knew he was close as well.

“Come with me, Jo, come now,” he demanded. She rode him for a few more strokes before she arched back, her climax exploding through her and the contractions causing him to erupt. She felt him pull her down to lie on top of him and she felt tears fill her eyes. God, this was what they had had stolen from them for so very long. Gabe lifted her face and kissed her deeply before allowing her to roll off of him.

“It’s okay, sweetheart. We will make up for every single moment,” he promised.

She didn’t ask how he knew what she had been thinking. He just seemed to be able to read her heart. Joanna told him to hurry back before she slipped back into sleep. He patted her bare bottom and smiled hearing her gasp sleepily. He knew she was still tender from her paddling the evening before but was glad to see there was no obvious evidence of her punishment. He made sure the door was locked before he drove through the sleeping park back up to his family.

He was very pleasantly surprised to see that Amber was not only awake, but she had rekindled the fire and had a pot of coffee brewing. He gave her a hug as she handed him a travel mug.

“Thanks, Squirt,” he said as she poured herself a mug. They sat by the fire knowing they’d both need another cup before beginning their trip.

“Thanks for doing this for me, Gabe,” Amber said.

He smiled and gave her a hug with one arm as he continued to enjoy his coffee. “You are welcome,” he said. “I know you think I believe you are just a little kid, Amber. I do realize you have grown up. I just don’t want you to get so big that you forget how much you need me…and I need you.” 

Amber felt love swell in her heart and she stood before bending down to give him a proper hug. “I’ll always need you, Gabe,” she promised, knowing it was the truth.

He felt his throat close a bit as he realized just how special this young woman was to him.

“I’m so glad you and Joanna found each other. I can see how happy you make her.” 

Gabe smiled and knew it was the opposite. Joanna made him happy. “Thanks, just think, all it took to find the love of my life again was paddling your little butt,” he teased.

Amber squealed and gave his shoulder a punch. Gabriel laughed and then shushed her, not wanting to wake the entire camp site. They fixed another cup of coffee each and then headed for his truck. Gabe had to grin when he saw Amber lean her head against the window and immediately fall asleep.Great, he thought. She gets to sleep when she is supposed to keep me company.He turned his thoughts to Joanna and all he had planned.

“Did you get all your books?” Gabe asked his sister a few hours later. He had dropped her off at the house with instructions to pack while he ran his own errand. He had gone to the bank and opened his large safety deposit box. As he lifted the lid, memories from years past rolled over him. He picked up the first item and ran his fingers along its length as he imagined placing it where he had planned on that night so long ago. He put the item into his pocket before picking up another item. He opened the small box and smiled. He snapped it closed and put it into his pocket beside the first item. He placed two additional items in the box he had brought into the bank with him. After he left the bank, he went by a store that he used to frequent. His purchases were added to the box he had put behind the driver’s seat of his truck. With his private errands completed, he returned home to urge his little sister to get a move on.

Amber began to roll her eyes but quickly caught herself. She saw his eyebrow quirk and a smile appear on his lips. “Yes, Sir,” she said and gathered up a huge stack of books and put them on the table where her pile of essentials was growing.

Gabe shook his head at the amount of items. “Amber, it’s only for the summer and you will be working. How could you possibly need all this stuff?”

She didn’t bother to turn as she put the final pile on the table. Men just didn’t understand. “Gabe, you might be happy wearing the same stuff all the time. However, a girl needs to have choices,” she explained. “I promise, I have gone through everything twice and this is what I must have.” 

He grunted and took the first load out to the truck. It took both of them a couple of trips to load all her necessities in the bed of the truck. When he asked if she had remembered the paperwork necessary for employment, she almost rolled her eyes again.

“Careful there, Brat. That’s twice you almost earned a spanking.” 

She grinned and quickly climbed into the truck, removing her bottom from his reach.

“Sorry, but you can’t spank me because I didn’t!” she countered with a giggle.

“Maybe I’ll spank you anyway,” he warned as he climbed into the driver’s seat. He saw her look of surprise and continued. “Maybe a reminder spanking will help you remember before you begin to roll your eyes.” 

She looked worried and he grinned. Seeing it, she punched his arm. “You are so mean!”

They were soon at the grocery store. Amber had informed him that the girls had discovered some items they needed hadn’t made it to the site, including a large bag of peanut M&Ms. They made quick work of their sister’s lists and were soon back in the truck. Amber was already well into the huge bag of gummy bears she had insisted she needed.

“Hey, I might not get a chance to eat these again all summer. Want some?” she asked offering him the bag.

Gabe snorted and shook his head. “Not on your life. Those are disgusting,” he said, wondering how on earth she could actually enjoy snacking on rubber bears.

She giggled and bit the head off the treat in her fingers.

Gabe almost rolled his own eyes. “You can stuff yourself with your bears while I run into the drugstore.” 

She moaned at the delay but quickly nodded after he glared at her.

When they pulled into the parking lot, she opened her door. “As long as we’re here, I need to pick up some more shampoo and girly stuff,” she said.

Gabe shook his head but nodded reluctantly. He quickly found the special diapers that babies wore when swimming that Dana had requested. He was standing at the front of the store when Amber finally arrived with her basket. He watched as she unloaded her items onto the counter. He saw bottles of shampoo, creams and stuff he didn’t know the purpose of as well as a couple of paperback books. She smiled at him as she placed a pair of earphones onto the counter. These weren’t the kind with the small ear buds. These were meant to cover the entire ear.

“These will plug into my Kindle so I can listen to my books or movies in privacy,” she said, her grin telling him she understood that cabin walls could be thin.

Gabe grinned as he realized she was indeed growing up. He nodded and then reached for another bag of the disgusting gummy bears and placed them next to the headphones. She smiled and reached up to kiss him on the cheek before saying, “You are the best brother in the entire world.” 

He grinned and they were soon climbing back into the truck. She offered to drive but he declined. After a few minutes, she was deep into a paperback book, reading as she consumed each poor gummy bear after biting off its head.

Joanna was already at work and had informed Kim and Dan that Amber would be replacing Steven. They both were happy with the development. They were busy providing campers with trail information, ringing up sales and signing people up for river raft tours. The camp would be almost completely full for the weekend. Joanna was both pleased and concerned. If another large party arrived, she’d either have to turn them away or give them the option of taking the last site, which was above Gabe’s family. She knew the site had been designated as the Jamison parlor and that it had been used by several of the couples. It might not be proper, but Joanna truly didn’t want anyone else intruding on the area of camp she now considered belonged to the Jamisons. She scrawled her own name across the sheet and quickly paid for the rest of the week. She felt it was the least she could do for the family that had embraced her so willingly. Her mind was distracted when she heard the sound of an engine.

Gabe pulled to a stop next to Joanna’s Jeep. He turned to Amber and said, “I’m going to be leaving you the truck.” He was interrupted by her squeal of delight as she reached for the keys. Gabe held them out of her reach. “Whoa, hold on. A few rules. You are to remember this is my truck, not yours. You will only have it until the reunion is over. I’ll drive Joanna’s Jeep but want you to be able to get down to work when you are scheduled. You are not to take advantage of my generosity, got it?”
