Saviour (Saviour #1)(66)



"You’re very welcome; it's been great getting to know you”

I walk over and lie on the bed next to her and stroke her hair. It feels so nice to be close to a child. I know she's not mine but she's Gabe’s baby and that is enough for me at the moment. I’ve enjoyed mothering her this week. I feel like a huge part of me is missing when I’m not being a mum. Watching Gabe with her has made my heart swell. I've watched him brush her hair, I've watched her paint his toenails. Yes, really, Starlight Pink being the colour of choice. I've watched them race each other on the beach and him tickle her into hysterics, I've watched him try to tell her no... And fail, pathetically. But most of all, I've seen how close they are, how his eyes light up around her, the look of love and pride in them is undeniable, she has him completely wrapped around her little finger and I've enjoyed being part of and witnessing all of that. She's accepted our relationship and I really hope we can build on one of our own. I tuck her hair behind her ear.

“Is that what you’re wearing?” She asks me. Shit, what's wrong with it, should I change again? Gabe said casual, he's wearing jeans, hoodie and his converse, it’s pretty cool outside so I've gone for jeans tucked into my long tan boots, a cute little peach blouse that I love and a tan leather jacket.

“Yeah, yeah it is, do you not like it then?” I ask, a little disappointed as I thought I had finally nailed it.

“I love it, you look hot, you looked hot in all the other outfits too, I was just asking in case you were going to change again. Jackie is going to be well jel. She always thinks she's the hot one but you’re much hotter and younger and prettier” She kisses my cheek, slides off the bed, saying, “come on we better go, dads whinging that we're gonna be late”

I lay there for a moment, smiling at her words. There's no beating about the bush with Ava, just like her dad, she's straight up, honest and says it exactly as it is.

I decide to ere on the side of caution and dig out some panty liners, pads and a couple of tampons to take with me, just in case. The pain killers have taken the edge off but I can still feel the cramps lurking in the background and the last thing I want is my period to arrive during the afternoon and being unprepared for it. I'm rummaging through my toiletry bag in the bathroom drawer when I get that tingle, he's behind me, I feel him run his hands over my bum cheeks as I'm bending over. I smile as his hands come around and cup my boobs as he grinds himself into me from behind. I turn around as I stand up straight and hook my arms around his neck, not missing an opportunity, he grinds in to me from the front now and because of the heels on my boots, he hits me right on that sweet, sweet spot between my legs and I instinctively flex my hips and grind back. It feels delicious! We haven't made love since yesterday morning, the longest it's been since I've stayed here. My cheeks are burning with embarrassment, I am so horny around him, all day, all of the time. He kisses my neck and draws in a breath.

“You smell so good, you look so good, I have got the biggest boner”

I pull his head back by his hair and kiss his throat. I’m just glad I don’t have a dick, because I reckon I would have a bigger boner than he does right now. Is that wrong?

“I thought you were whinging that we were going to be late?” I sigh the words more than say them. I would much prefer to spend the rest of the day curled up in bed with him and just the thought of this forces my eyes to close.

“I was, I am, we are but I just wanted to let you know how hot you look and how much I would like to f*ck you right now. What are you looking for?”

“Tampons” I say, smiling at him sweetly. Hold on to your hat Wilde. You haven't lived until you've lived with me and pms!

“Tampons? You got your period?”

“Not yet but I've got cramps and as we're staying overnight, I thought I had better be prepared”

“Right, have you got some?”

“Yeah, just found them, it's been a while since my last one so I had to hunt for them but all sorted now”

He kisses my forehead and leads me out of the bathroom by my hand. I throw my collection of tampons, liners, and pads into my bag and we head off.

Gabe’s car is a two door thing but pretty roomy once we are all in. As we pull out onto the esplanade, I ask “what is this?”

“What is what?”

“This car, what sort is it, I mean, I know it’s a BMW, but what type of BMW is it? Apart from being a red one”

“A red one?” he repeats with a smile on his face “Ava tell Lauren the specs on the car”

“It's a 2012 6 series 4.4 650I M Sport Steptronic F13, 2 Door Auto Coupé and yes your right Lauren, it is red” We all start to laugh, them at me, me at myself!

“How do you know all of that, are you some kind of rev head?” I ask her.

“Yeah a bit, Mums husband Dean is a mechanic, I used to help him sometimes, and I just got to like cars. It was me that told dad to buy this; he had a crappy old Audi before”

“Ahhh a crappy old Audie, how terrible?”

I shake my head laughing. I would be happy with a crappy old Audi any day.

Mr. Wilde Snr lives on the Beach Road in Brighton. The house is enormous, very modern looking and spread over three floors. There are already a half dozen cars on the drive but Gabe has no problem sliding into a spot. He seems to be good at sliding into just about anything, especially me I think to myself and instantly blush. I step out of the car and turn to move the seat to let Sophie out, who's been sitting behind me. Gabe is doing the same for Ava and I can feel his eyes on me, over the top of the car.
