Mabel didn't quite understand how love could consume her entire soul until she met Joe. She couldn't simply just go about her day anymore, she would stop and think of him multiple times. It wasn't a feeling she had ever experienced before and it wasn't originally a welcomed feeling but now she could bask in the love surrounding her and enjoy it.

Mabel was laying on the beach, cocktail in hand while Joe read to her. Her legs were thrown over joes while he lightly rubbed her thigh as he spoke the words softly.

"And so with the sunshine
and the great bursts of leaves
growing on the trees,
just as things grow in fast movies,
I had that familiar conviction
that life was beginning over again
with the summer."

Mabel sighed at his soft voice filling her ears, she found herself in a state of euphoria every time his voice hummed in her ears in a low tone. Joe noticed Mabel is once again stuck in her thoughts and he puts the book down.

"Mabel Mae are you even listening to the book?" He questions. Mabel snaps her eyes open and stares are joe embarrassed.

"I'm sorry I just find your voice so soothing I guess I got lost in my own head" she chuckled. Joe squeezed her thigh and chuckled too.

"I love that you love me" joe said as he scrunched his nose up at Mabel.

Mabel rolled her eyes at him and playfully slapped his arm.

"You are so full of yourself sometimes Joseph Quinn"

Joe smirked playfully and allowed his hand to travel up her thigh. Mabel gasped at his touch and swatted his hand away.

"You know we can't" Mabel wanted Joe but with no forms of birth control it just wasn't realistic. He rolled his eyes and raised his hands in defence.

"Hey you have no business being that fucking hot love" he chuckled.

Joe picked the great Gatsby back up and continued reading while Mabel allowed his voice to once again fill her ears. As Mabel listened to the words pour out his lips she admired them- every time Joe turned a page he'd place his tongue upon his upper lip resting it until he began reading the next page. She'd noticed this quirk multiple times throughout their relationship and every time she witnessed it she smiled.

"I can actually feel you staring at me you know" Joe chuckled his eyes meeting Mabel's.

"My drink is empty" pouted Mabel. Joe took the glass out of her hand and got up, her legs rolling off his as he did. He started walking back to the villa and Mabel swiftly jumped up and ran after him.

"I didn't mean you had to fill it up" she called after him. They opened the door and both headed inside.

"I know you didn't, however it is a week all about you, so I want to" Joe flashed her a smile and went into the alcohol cupboard spouting Mabel another concoction of alcohol and juice. Mabel watched how joes shorts hung low on his waist, his white shirt unbuttoned revealing his chest. She found herself gripping the counter top lost in thought of Joe's body on hers.

"Mabel, my love, I adore you but you really are shit at being subtle" Joe chuckled kissing her forehead.

Mabel sighed throwing herself down on the couch.

"This is hell" Mabel groaned. Joe smirked at her and pulled her up from the couch, throwing her over his shoulder and carried her to the bed. He swiftly threw her down and hovered above her.

He pressed his lips to hers and quickly moved to her neck nipping the soft skin between his teeth. He made his way down her chest to her stomach right above the waist band of her denim shorts. His fingers fumbled with the buttons and he quickly managed to undo them, pulling them down to reveal her bikini bottoms underneath. His lips leaving a trail around the strings to the side, his teeth lightly tugging to undo them.
