Lost Faith (The Firm Book 1) Read online

  “I’m very happy to be home as well.” She was happy, he could see that. It was odd, he thought, that he had destroyed her father and her family home but she was still there and ready to give her heart to him. She was far too trusting. “I like you, a great deal. I really enjoy spending time with you and I look forward to spending a lot of it with you.”

  “Good, that makes this whole thing much easier. It would be less fun if you were against being here. Plus I don’t think it would have been as easy getting you through customs if you weren’t on board. They seriously frown on smuggling people throw in the luggage.”

  “Yes, this is very true. I’m sure that they would have possibly given you a hard time about that but something tells me that you could easily get round that if you wanted to. I have a feeling that if you had wanted you could have easily gotten me into the country without any issue at all.”

  “Quite easily, but I shan’t bore you with the details.” Mainly because he didn’t want to give her any reason to change her mind about him. Picking up his knife and fork he cut into the steak, took the bite and chewed slowly. A low moan tore free. “Oh god that is good stuff.”

  He watched her when she took her first bite and smiled when she all but moaned and mimicked his words as well. “God this is so good.” She told him and moved to take another bite and then another. She was enjoying the food which made him very happy.

  Tobias let her eat in silence, mainly because he kept stuffing food into his own mouth. It had been too long since he’d had an amazing hunk of beef cooked the way he liked. While they’d managed not to poison themselves during their Brazil mission it had been close a couple times when they’d done take-out instead of cooking in. Savoring the last morsel he wiped his face, pushing the plate away he leaned back in his chair and let out a happy sigh. Hell yeah. One day soon he’d take Gabriella to Bernice’s place so they could enjoy a front row seat to the show the chef’s always put on. She’d get a kick out of it he was sure.

  “God that was so good.” She finally told him and leaned back to rub her belly. “I have never before had food that was so good in all of my life, honestly. I’ve eaten everywhere in the world except for this place it seems. It was utter perfection. It was something that you know that cow died and he is thankful that he died so that he could become that meal. Yum.”

  Chuckling he rubbed a finger to his nose. “I doubt the cow was thankful, but it was amazing nonetheless. One day I’ll take you to Bernie’s place so we can enjoy it the second it comes off the grill still sizzling when it lands in front of you. She’ll give us the chef’s table if I give her enough heads up that we’re coming. I think you’ll get a kick out of her. She’s like a female Napoleon in that kitchen.”

  “I think that I would love that.” Gabbie told him and reached out to touch him. He found she did that a lot, as if she were worried that he was going to disappear on her. “I’ve never had a chef’s table before.” He was sure it was because she had never asked for one. With her father’s wealth, she could have gotten anything she had wanted and he knew that.

  “I’ve only ever sat at two, one being Bernice’s a couple weeks after she opened the doors. The other was a buddy’s place, he opened it up with his sister and brother-in-law when he got out of the service. It’s more down home, but definitely worth the trip to listen to the banter. We’ll go there one day as well, but their down in Louisiana so it’s a little further away.” He was pretty sure she’d have a blast with that family once she got over the shock. They weren’t exactly politically correct and rarely watched their language even around the young.

  “I have never been to Louisiana.” She admitted to him with a very slight frown on her face. “In fact, the only place here in America that I’ve been is in New York or in Los Angeles. I want to see all of America. I want to see as much as I can. Can you show me your world? I want to know all of it, please?” She was an explorer, he liked that about her, but more than that he loved how she trusted him completely.

  “Absolutely, sweetheart. I know people all over the States from my time in the Marines. We can go visit them, see their cities, and generally have a damn good time at it. Not all at once since I am a working man, but a little at a time.” Leaning forward he cupped her cheek and drew her in close enough to kiss her. “Let’s clean this up and save dessert for later, sweetheart. I think it’s time for our shower.”

  “Oh yes the shower that I look forward to.” He saw her eyes widen and her smile brighten. Yes, he had talked up the shower and he couldn’t wait to get her into it actually. “I cannot wait to try it. More than that I cannot want to get you naked and wet along with me.”

  “Then we’d better get a move on.” Standing he gathered their plates leaving her to grab the glasses and excess silverware. They quickly scraped the plates before putting everything into the dishwasher. After they’d put away the dessert’s for later, and he remember to turn the oven off since they wouldn’t be needing it anytime soon, he tossed her over his shoulder and headed for the stairs shutting the lights off as they progressed through the house. If he had his way they wouldn’t be coming back down for snacks for a while yet.

  “Holy crapballs, you weren’t kidding this bathroom and shower is amazing.” She said when they were finally in the bathroom. She moved to look at the shower and he heard her gasp. Oh yeah, he knew she loved it. “I can’t believe that you designed this, I love it.” She immediately began to get naked and he simply watched her.

  When she was naked he took a moment to look her up and down. “Fucking hell, woman you are gorgeous.” Stepping toward her Tobias took her hand in his and gave her a little spin to take her all in. His cock throbbed in need while his balls drew up tighter against his body. It was going to be pure sweet torture to shower with her and not take her.

  “I’m glad you think so.” Gabbie moved her hands up the flat planes of her stomach and cupped her breasts. “Do you like?” She had little rings in her nipples and gave them a small tug. On her ass she had a small phoenix tattoo. “Come on mister man, naked right along with me or this is going to be one awkward shower.”

  Awkward wasn’t quite the word he’d use for it, but it was close enough. Reaching up Tobias pulled off his shirt and dropped it next to the pile she’d made. He toed off his boots and then ditched his jeans and socks, his cock happy to be free from the constraint. Straightening up he stayed still when she moved in closer to touch him enjoying every torturous second.

  “Holy Christ you are perfect.” She whispered and let her lips ghost over a scar he had on his shoulder and wanted to whimper when her hands closed over his cock. “Scars, tattoos and all I love it. You are one amazingly handsome man and I want to get to know every single inch of your body and every moment of your life. I want to know all of you, Tobias just as you will know all of me.”

  He was having problems thinking and processing with her hands holding his dick. With all the blood vacating his upper body he even felt mildly lightheaded. “Shower,” he croaked out. Tobias was impressed he’d managed even that, and it had been coherent too.

  “Shower.” She repeated his words and walked backward toward the shower so that they could both get cleaned up. He hit the button to have the shower temperature set and wrapped his arms around her when she let go of his cock and wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him down for a kiss.

  Eagerly he met her and quickly took control. He was trying hard not to devour her but he was merely a mortal man. Sometimes such things were beyond even the best man alive. Having a hot, wet and sexy woman in his arms definitely knocked Tobias out of the running.

  God, she loved the way that his hands moved over her body. They were hard and calloused and she loved it. She moaned when his fingers slipped over her ass cheeks and then down between them so that he could touch and feel every inch of her body. “That feels so good.” She moaned and lifted a leg so that she could rub her pussy against his leg. She was eager for more, needed his touc
h desperately. “More, please.”

  His fingers slid further until he was stroking her wet folds. He had his mouth on her neck and was sucking lightly at the skin over her pulse. Slowly he pushed a blunt finger into her pussy and began to thrust it in and out. Nibbling on her flesh he lightly bit the tendon in her neck before lifting his head to kiss her again.

  She let her head fall back and moaned while holding tightly to his shoulders. “God that feels so good.” She was rubbing against him, riding his finger while she did so. “Harder, please.” She whispered while letting her blunt nails rake over his shoulders roughly. She didn’t want or need gentle, she needed him.

  Tobias scraped his teeth lightly to her jaw and moved to lightly bite her earlobe. He gave it a tug. Cupping her breast with his free hand he flicked the piercing then gave it a light tug. She was rocking frantically against him trying to get some friction between the fingers he had buried deep in her sheath and the rough hair on his thigh rubbing her clit.

  “God yes.” She could possibly get off just on his fingers deep inside of her body and the rough tugs he was giving her piercing. “Please, more. It feels so good. More. I could come just with you doing this and want to. Jesus, Tobias please take the edge off so you can fuck me, hard.”

  “I think you should wait for me to be buried inside you. Seems only fair don’t you think?” he asked. She could feel his smile against her neck right before he bit her again. He nibbled around her throat to the other side and bit her there. Pushing his fingers in deeper he squeezed her breast and lowered his head to suck on her nipple hard.

  “Then you need to be inside of me, now.” She lifted her leg just a bit more so that she was fully open to him. The water slicing over them had her moaning and she was enjoying it. She loved this shower and could see themselves doing this often.

  “Condom,” he muttered against her breast. His fingers stilled and he lifted his head slightly to look at the room beyond the shower stall. “They’re out there. We should get one,” he told her.

  “You go get one while I stay in here soaping myself up.” She was rubbing against him over and over again. “Or we could just do it like this because I am actually on the shot so you wouldn’t have to worry about pregnancy. You would be the first man ever inside of me without a condom.”

  Tobias snapped his head around to look at her. “Are you sure, sweetheart? I don’t want you to feel like you’re being pressured into that decision, you’re not. At least I hope you know that. But I’m fully on board if you are, and I’m clean per my last medical checkup and the one before that and the one prior and so forth.”

  “Yes, I’m very sure.” She told him and then pulled him closer again. “However, if you don’t get your spectacular looking cock inside of me very shortly I am going to come and then you will have to get me all worked up again. I need you, Tobias, more than I ever expected to need someone.”

  He pulled his fingers free and lifted her up. Pushing in closer to her she felt his cock rub against her clit. “Guide me in, Ella. I can’t wait to feel your hot, wet sheath wrapped tight around my throbbing cock.”

  She reached between them and wrapped her hand around his cock. She began to rub it, stroking him and loving the feeling of his cock in her hand. She used her hand to guide him into her waiting and very wet sheath. The head of his cock entered her and she whimpered. “God yes, you feel so good.”

  “Fucking hell,” he said with a low groan. Tobias pushed his cock in deeper before pulling out slightly and then sliding in even more. “I can feel your pussy trying to drag me in all the way, that’s fucking hot, sweetheart. So greedy for my cock it’s quite the turn on.”

  “I’m greedy for all of you, Tobias. Not just your cock but everything. I want every single inch of your body inside of mine. I need even your soul to merge with mine. I think that I’m falling in love with you.” She admitted in a whisper against his ear, right before biting his earlobe.

  His body jerked sliding his cock fully into her body. Clenching around him Gabbie shivered at the sensations. Tobias flexed his hands on her ass and lifted her up a little higher. “I know I’m falling for you, sweetheart. I have been from the first day when you were defiant even in the face of a kidnapping.”

  “I’m glad I’m not alone in this then.” She moaned against the side of his neck while she was riding his cock. “I’m never letting you go, Tobias and you better never let me go either. I need your heart since I’m giving you mine.”

  “It’s all yours, Ella. Always was meant to be I think,” he said. A large hand slid up to cup and squeeze her breast, his fingers teasing the piercing while he thrust into her body. It was a lazy movement but she knew that would only last so long before the hunger drove them both to try and climb into the other’s skin.

  “I think so too. I think that this was destiny.” Him and his team being the ones who were tasked to take her and him taking lead to be the one to interact with her. It was destined and she knew it. “Harder.” She begged him.

  She earned a bite to her shoulder for the demand, but he didn’t say anything and gave her what she wanted. Gabbie let out a groan each time she was jostled by his hard thrusts. “I want to mark you as mine to ensure the world knows. I’ll fucking shout it from the rooftops too if it works. You are mine, Ella.”

  “Always!” She wanted to shout it from the rooftops as well. “God that bite felt fucking amazing.” She squeezed his cock hard with her pussy. “Tattoos, fuck yes, we should get matching ones.” Not names, but she would gladly wear a tat that would match his.

  Tobias gave a low growl. Lifting his head, he nipped her chin. “Whatever you want, babe. I’m yours, you’re mine, it only seems fitting.” Dropping his hand to her ass again he spread her cheeks, tilted her hips down and thrust faster. “I fucking want to see my brand on your skin declaring you off limits forever.”

  “Fuck yes.” She was riding him harder and faster now. “I want every-fucking-god-damn-thing with you.” She was shouting now and shivering. “Come, I need to come, please with me.” She begged him because she was so close and knew he had to be close as well with as hard as her cunt was squeezing his dick.

  “Come for me, sweetheart. I want to see your face when you shatter,” he told her. Scraping his teeth to her jaw he moved his mouth down to her neck on the other side and bit down hard. At the same time, he rolled his hips to brush her clit ever so slightly.

  Ella screamed when she came. She let her head fall to the side for him when she climaxed. She shuddered and squeezed his cock harder because she had to have him coming inside of her, wanted to know what it felt like.

  A second later she could feel his cock jerk inside her, a string of curses pouring from his lips all followed by a low moan. His arms banded around her to hold her even closer while he continued to rock his hips while his seed filled her sheath. When he finally stilled the sound of their breathing and her own heartbeat in her ears drowned out the sound of the water running against her arm.

  Each spurt of his ejaculate inside of her body had her moaning. The heat of him, the thickness of him. “God, we have to do that, often.” She pulled back and looked at him with a grin. “I love your shower, it’s utterly perfect.”

  “Told you you’d like it,” he said. His laugh was a little breathy when he drew back enough to give her a kiss. “How about we clean up and go try out the bed? That was next on your list if I recall right, and it is a fabulous bed.”

  “Oh yes, we have to try out that bed.” She told him happily. “I look forward to everything with you. The bed, the couch, the chair, the counter, the washer on spin cycle. Everything. I want all of it.” She admitted to him and pulled back so that she could get cleaned up.

  Laughing Tobias drew back and set her down on her feet, holding her until her wobbly legs finally could hold her upright. He drew her under the water flow and gave her a loofah to wash with. At her look, he sniffed and shrugged. “It helps to exfoliate my skin. After years in the desert it’s quite im
portant to keep a skin ritual going to ensure it stays soft and pretty.”

  “You are perfect, it doesn’t matter what you have to do to keep up your looks babe.” She soaped up the loofah and smiled, “Turn, let me wash your back so that you don’t have to. Come on, let me take care of you like you take care of me.”

  “Oh, now this I could come to enjoy. Although we will need to work a little on our water conservation. We’re off to a bit of a rocky start there,” he teased. Turning he gave her his back to wash, and maybe she slipped in a petting along with it. He was hers and she was allowed such luxuries after all.

  “I think we will figure it out. If you have to we can put in one of those tankless systems or even a recycling unit so that we don't feel as bad for spending so much time in the shower because I can totally see us spending a lot of time here in the shower.

  “Already have the tankless, sweet cheeks. I like my showers long and hot the entire way through,” he told her. “All the water from the shower goes to a storage tank that is filtered and then I use it for watering the lawn and the like in the summer. Good thing it’s a big ass tank.”

  “Yes, it is because I can see us using a great deal of water showering.” Which she wasn’t complaining about in the least. Hell, she could become accustomed to everything with this man. “Now then, how about we get out. I’m getting pruney and I hate to be pruney.”

  Turning around he took the loofah from her, and circled a finger to get her turned around. “I’ll do your back, we can each do our fronts and then we can get out. You shouldn’t be getting pruny already, might be a sign that you’re under hydrating your skin. Do you drink enough water and moisturize properly, my dear?”

  “I haven’t been drinking enough water and I’m afraid that my moisturizers have been left at home. So I think that you need to order me some more of my girly things darling man.” She had turned to let him take care of her back and was smiling, she couldn’t help it. “I have a feeling that I’m going to be going through a hell of a lot of money getting myself settled once more.”
