All We Know (A Novella) Page 4

  Lynne

  A warm body came up behind me. I smiled, leaning against Gabe. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and placed a soft peck on my cheek.

  “Happy, baby?” he asked, nuzzling into me.

  “I am. Are you?”

  “Definitely.”

  Gabe and I had been dating for six months and he was finally moving in with James and I.

  After James found out about us, Gabe had confessed his love for me later that evening. He also never spent the night again until a month ago. He wanted James to get used to the idea of us as a couple. I fell in love with him even more at that point.

  “I love you, Lynne.” He pulled me tighter against him. “So fucking much.”

  I grinned. “I love you too.”

  His mouth brushed along the shell of my ear, sending a hot shiver racing down my spine.

  “I’m nervous.”

  He turned me in his arms. “Why?” he asked, cupping my face and tilting my head back.

  “It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a relationship. I don’t want to screw this up.” I had thought that Randy and I had divorced because of me. Maybe something was wrong with me that I couldn’t keep the father of my son happy.

  “Lynne.” Gabe brushed his thumb down the length of my jaw. “You could never screw this up. I have a history. So if anyone is going to make a mistake, it’ll be me. But that won’t happen either. I love you.”

  “I love you too.” I cupped his nape, pulling him down to meet my mouth.

  “We will make this work.” He kissed my forehead and then my nose before wrapping his arms around me.

  For the rest of the night, James and I helped Gabe unpack. When he was finally settled, we were lying in bed later that evening, holding and touching each other. No words fell between us as we laid there in silence.

  “I love you, baby,” Gabe whispered, brushing his mouth along my ear.

  For the rest of the night, we laid like that. Whispering our feelings for each other over and over. We made love two times before passing out in each other’s arms.

  I never knew that it could be like this.

  Happiness.

  Passion.

  Lust.

  All consuming desire.

  It was everything I wanted and more.
