Hell's Smitten (Gordon Ramsay x Reader)

*Chapter 55- A Date with the Chef Part 3/4

Wednesday, July 10th, 2013

Gordon unbuttons his shirt and throws it over the back of his chair. I take a moment to admire him-– his shoulders are as wide as his chest is broad. He's not 'ripped', but his muscles are undeniable. Not to mention how strong he is to be lifting me up as effortlessly as he does.

I lift my shirt and pull it over my head, tossing it into a pile on my chair. Gordon helps me to unclasp my necklace and places it on the top of my clothes. After a short while, both of us are standing stark naked across from each other, grinning like fools. The ocean breeze is cool on my bare skin while the sun keeps me warm and the sand between my toes is pleasantly soft.

Ordinarily, I would be embarrassed to stand naked on a beach, but with Gordon, I feel so safe and calm that it doesn't bother me at all.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to how absolutely gorgeous you are, (Y/N)," Gordon says as he openly admires my naked body.

"And I don't think I'll ever get used to the fact that Gordon Ramsay fell in love with me," I respond dreamily.

"If you could see you how I see you, you'd understand why I did."

My heart flutters. It goes in to overdrive when Gordon takes my hand in his.

"Ready?" he asks.

"Let's go!" I cheerfully shout as I run towards the water. Gordon keeps pace with me and we both splash into the ocean together.

The water is warm and the waves are nearly nonexistent, making it an easy journey into the deeper parts of the ocean. Once we're waist-deep, Gordon pulls me into his arms.

I happily wrap my arms around him and look up at his beaming smile.

"I don't want to have to go back to Hell's Kitchen. Can we stay here?"  I pout playfully, running my fingers down his back.

"How I wish I could say yes, but I didn't pack enough food for a lifetime," Gordon laments, his eyes sparkling.

"Then we better make the most of our ti-"

He leans down and captures my lips in his, kissing me with fervor and preventing me from completing my sentence. My nails dig into his back as I return the kiss. The ocean waves brush against my side softly and small fish dance around my legs, their tiny bodies occasionally bumping into me.

Gordon pours his love into his kiss, fueling the passionate fire in my heart.

Suddenly, he lifts me into the air, breaking our kiss. I open my eyes just soon enough to see the mischievous glint in his eyes before he tosses me backward into the water.

I land with a hearty splash, barely managing to keep my head from dunking under. I sit on my knees in the sand. Gordon laughs then sinks into the water and swims towards me. I give him an annoyed yet still gleeful look as he arrives inches from my face.

"What'd you do that for?" I huff, trying to keep up the charade of being mad.

He presses his nose to mine. "Because you look cute when you're annoyed, pet," he purrs.

I splash some water at the side of his face, catching him by surprise. He laughs even harder before his expression quickly shifts from joking to feisty. He swims towards me and wraps one arm behind my back under the water. The waves lap gently at our necks as he pulls me to his chest.

He trails his hand down my stomach and stops just above my entrance. My breath catches in my throat as I anticipate his next move, but he never takes it. He just gives me a lopsided grin and taps his fingers maddeningly in place.
