The Dance

Chapter 195 Advantage Gabe

"A good kisser and a gentleman..." Lucy batted her doe eyes at Gabe. "It's a good combination."

Gabe felt a tinge of regret but he wanted to take this relationship slowly. He had watched the dance of his older brothers and their wives and felt strongly that if he and Lucy were going to have a future of any kind, he had a lot more to learn about her.

"How about we just talk?" Gabe pulled her back to the couch. "I want to know more about you and how you came to Alaska."

"It's not much of a story.  My dad was Alaskan and my mom was vacationing from Italy. He was a fisherman and he met her when she was on a cruise. They had a whirlwind relationship and well, she just never got back on board the ship."

"So is Lucy short for Lucille?" Gabe asked.

"Oh god no...my full name is Luciana. It's Italian. My friends just shortened it to Lucy."

"Pretty name for a pretty girl."

Lucy thought to herself how everything that he said came out perfect. She tried to pay attention to his eyes but she was constantly distracted by the tightness of his shirt across his chest and arms. She sighed as she could only imagine what it must be like to wake up with those arms wrapped around you in the morning.

"Lucy, did you hear me?" Gabe tapped her on the nose with his index finger.

"Sorry, what did you say?" Lucy snapped out of her momentary daydream.

"I asked if you had any brothers or sisters."

"Nope. It's just me."

"I've often wondered what it would be like to be an only child." Gabe loved his family but on the days he was the butt of their jokes and teasing he would have easily traded them for a solitary life.

"You're family is so big. You're lucky. Tell me about them." Lucy stretched her legs across Gabe's lap as he too made himself comfortable.

"There's five brothers and two sisters.  Three nephews, one niece, a new baby on the way and of course, Cuppy."

"Whew! I'm going to need everyone to wear a name tag at dinner." She laughed. "Bam's the oldest, right?"

"No. Matt's the oldest. Everyone thinks Bam is the oldest because he's so serious."

"I like their wives. They are very sweet."

"When Lila and Jill get together, watch out. They are one pair of headstrong women. Bam and Matt didn't stand a chance against them."

"I know Red really loves them. And she is crazy about your brother. We had to give her a little push to get her to finally cut Bear a break."

"Yeah. Jill told him to play hard to get and it worked."

"And did someone push you my way?"

Gabe blushed a bit. "They didn't have to push hard."

"Now you're making me blush." Lucy pulled her hair loose from her ponytail letting it fall over her shoulders.

Gabe shifted his position. She looked lovely with her hair down just as beautiful as she was at their picnic. "Do you like kids? I love kids."

"I do. You know I already have an admirer in Lucas. He's adorable and I can't wait to see Red's baby. I'm hoping it's a girl."

"I'm hoping it's a girl also. I think a girl will calm Bear down."

"That would be fun to watch."

The hours ticked by and the two spent  all their time talking about each other's lives and families. It was almost 1am before they realized the lateness of the hour.

Lucy invited Gabe to her bedroom and promised to keep her clothes on, but that was all she promised as she pulled him to the bed. If she couldn't be with him in the carnal sense, she was prepared for a good old fashioned make out session.  Lucy wasted no time in getting a peek at his chest as she slowly unbuttoned his shirt leaving it on him open. She ran her hand over his broad chest and giggled as he squirmed. "I don't bite Gabe, unless you want me to...:

He pulled her closer to his chest and nuzzled his face into her neck breathing in her flowery scent. His lips traced a trail back to her mouth eagerly demanding entrance. She didn't hold back and chased his tongue, occasionally biting his bottom lip softly. Her body melded into his perfectly and his hands ran under her sweater caressing the soft silk of her bra. She couldn't help but moan to his touch but she had made a promise. The clothes would stay on for now but she made it exceedingly hard for Gabe as she pressed herself deeper into his groin and felt his excitement rise.

"You sure about that clothes rule?" She whispered between moans.

"Uh huh. I'm sure." His hand grabbed her rear and pulled her harder against him. She slowly grinded herself against the fabric of his jeans as his hips bucked up under her. She felt a rush of heat moving straight between her thighs.

"I could be naked in like five seconds." Lucy's hand gravitated to his belt and he pulled it up towards his face.

"As much as I appreciate that offer, I really want us to wait. I think your worth the wait."

"Damn, I had to pick a gentleman." She pouted but he quickly wiped away that disappointment by whispering a sweet nothing in her ear.

"Really? Really! Now that's a proposition I'm going to hold you to Gabriel Brown."
