"Yeah, it is...I'll miss you Cassy, I'll come back for you, I promise." he said "I'll miss you too Gabe," tears rolling down her eyes she hugged him with all her might, gave him a kiss on the cheek before running back into her house, up to her room and flopped onto her bed. Gabe stood outside and watched her flee to her house with sad eyes. He got into his father's car as they headed to the airport to head to North Carolina ******** Cassy woke with a start, not entirely sure why she was dreaming of her childhood best friend and the first boy she ever loved. She was laying in her boyfriends arms in their one bedroom apartment. She was a waitress at the local Diner and John worked at the lumber yard. She felt bad for dreaming of Gabe when she had a good boyfriend lying with her in bed. She cared about John and she could love him but never the way she had loved Gabe. She was 12 and he was 13 when he had moved out from the house next to her parents. His father had a great job opportunity in New York and he couldn't turn it down. He wanted to get out of all the debt they were in. They both grew up on the poor side of the tracks in a small town where everyone knew each others names. It was a great place to live if you liked that kind of thing and of course Cassy did, which is probably why she said all these years. Quiet and cozy, until the weekend when everyone went down to the old bar and played pool. That's where she had met John and they had been together for 3 years now. She had told him she loved him but she could never give him her whole heart, only part of it. The other was for Gabriel the boy she had fallen for nearly 10 years ago, who left her high and dry. She needed to get him out of her head so she slipped out of John's arms and headed for the bathroom to take a shower. She pulled her night shirt over and off of her head, turned the knobs in the shower to get the temperature right and stepped in gasping when the hot water warmed her. She was remembering th first time Gabriel had kissed her, really kissed her and not a peck. They had been watching daytime TV during the summer when it was raining outside and no place to go. They were settled on the couch watching a soap opera when Gabe looked at her with intensity she had never seen before. He took her face in his hands, staring a minute and kissed her. She was still in shock, staring at him when she felt his tongue probing her lips, she gasped and he slid his tongue inside. Cassy finally closed her eyes and let him take what he wanted, he was so sweet and gentle..... The curtain to the shower slipped open and startled Cassy out of her reverie. John sent her a mischievous smile and she knew what would be coming. He was fully naked, toned and muscular from all the work he does. She just stared at him taking all 6'3 of him. Deep brown caring eyes, wavy brown hair cropped short, lean hard muscled arms, shaped chest, chiseled abs. He was the perfect man in any girl's eyes and she couldn't understand why he wanted to be with her. Cassy wasn't ugly but she wasn't a beauty queen either. She was 5'4 had long, strait, brown almost black hair that went to the middle of her back, green eyes, full lips made for kissing, and curvy body. She wasn't fat but she wasn't anorexic either, she was pretty average, but round and full where she needed to be. John put his arms around Cassy's waist and leaned into kiss her. She had to stretch on her tip toes and John had to bend over a good ways just to reach her. It didn't bother them; they were perfectly fine with it, especially since John usually picks her up when he kisses her, so they are at equal height. He slid his tongue along her lips and she opened her mouth for him to take what he pleased and he did. He slid his tongue in coaxing her to play and she followed suit. Cassy slid her arms around John's neck while the hot water beat down on her back. She pulled away and smiled at him. He smiled back just the same and slid his hand in between their bodies to her slit. He dipped his finger inside her lips to fell her. She was hot, so very hot and wet, some is from the water of the shower but he could tell some was coming out of her cunt. She moaned when he hit her clit and started toying with it. Pinching and rolling it around with his thumb and forefinger. "John, I can't this morning I've got to get to wo- ohhhhhh" she moaned as he slid his finger into her pussy. "We have plenty of time before your shift, babe" he whispered into her ear while pressing his finger in and out of her before putting another finger in with the first. He reached up to pinch her nipple and twirl it around in his fingers. She was lost to the sensation and figured if she speed down the road in her beat up old car then she might just make it on time. She felt warm all over her body, tingles of sensation running up her spine. All she could do is to give herself over to the feeling, and so she did. John dipped down to take the nipple he wasn't playing with into his mouth; he sucked, and then let it go with a pop. He stuck his tongue out and flicked it. He teased it a little more with swipes of his tongue and took it back in his mouth to bite gently and then suck on it once more. She pressed into him to feel more of his skin on hers; he was so tall it was hard to be touching when he was bending over like that. She finally gave up and just let it happen. John let go of her all together knelt in the shower with Cassy standing before him. "Open your legs for me Cassy," he said with a mischievous smile on his lips. She did as told; he put his hands on her thighs and slid his tongue along her slit. Cassy moaned held onto his head while he kept licking her slit up and down. He put his two fingers back into her slot and started licking her clit at the same time. He finally stilled his fingers and curled them up and started rubbing her insides. Cassy moaned loudly at that pulling his head in further to her pussy so she could grind herself on his face, to no prevail. John chuckled "Sorry babe, but I'm in control." he said and held onto her thighs making sure she couldn't get what she wanted. She liked to hurry things up when she needed to be somewhere and he stopped her by tormenting her with his slowness to make everything perfect. She knew she couldn't take this torture for much longer, it would send her over the edge and she wanted his cock to be in her when she cummed. "John, please, I need to get to work on time, just fuck me," she said those words make his cock throb in anticipation. "FINE!" he growled and she groaned in protest when he stopped suddenly, pulled his fingers out of her and stood up. She looked at him confused. She squealed when got her by the waist, picked her up and pushed her against the shower wall. She had no other option than to put her legs around his waist and hold on to his neck for dear life. He saw desire in her eyes and he had to hold himself back to tease her a little more. He slid his length along her slit before pushing into her with one hard thrust up to the hilt, they both groaned at the sensation. He pumped into her with hard fast thrusts, making her scream and moan in pain and pleasure. He was squeezing her butt hard and fucking her hard. She loved this side of him, he didn't show it often he usually takes his precious time which is nice but sometimes a girl needs a good fucking every now and then and this was definetly a good fucking. "Oh God" she groaned against his neck and started kissing and nibbling which made him jerk in response. "You like that baby? You like me fucking you like this?" he whispered in her ear which made her shiver. "YESSSSSS," she moaned loudly. She started feeling hotter than she already was. She loved the dirty talk it always turned her on and he knew it. "You like my cock shoved in that tight little hole, don't you....you feel so good, so wet and ready for me." he said thrusting hard and deep. Cassy could feel coiling heat in her belly, and she knew she was about to cum. John could tell by her rapid heavy pants and grinding she was doing on his pelvis as he thrust into her she was ready and so was he. John started bucking wildly and Cassy started convulsing and jerking, moaning John's name through her orgasm. John could feel her milking his cock with her orgasm and he couldn't hold on any longer and jerked in and out letting his cum fill her with three quick strokes. She hung on to him, nuzzling his neck trying to calm herself. John's cock was still in her, when he felt himself soften he pulled himself out and put her down on her feet. He held onto her for a second so she could gain her balance before letting go and started lathering up soap on his hands. He started washing her body. She looking up at him once her body was rinsed and asked "What was all that about?" "What was what about?" he asked with a wolfish grin. Cassy just chuckled and got out the shower to dry off. She headed to her room with the towel wrapped around her and looked for her work clothes. The Diner waitresses wear casual clothing, jeans, t-shirt, apron, and tennis shoes. No reason to get fancy like restaurants they only ever had locals in the joint. John came in stark naked and started getting dressed. Cassy just stared at him with an eyebrow arched; he just shrugged and went to his dresser for jeans and a t-shirt. He came over to where Cassy was still watching him and bent down to kiss her. Pulling back he said "I'll come by when you get off and we can head to Charlie's," "Sounds good babe," she said and kissed him again before walking out of the room, grabbing an apple in the kitchen and headed for the door. ********** It was almost time for Cassy to get off of work. She kept looking around for John to bring her a shirt and head to Charlie's. An older man Mr. Bunker bumped into her and she got ketchup and mustard on her shirt from the hamburger she was carrying when it tipped right into her breasts. She had to go to the bathroom to get it off but of course it stained, her shirt was ruined. Well at least it's just a t-shirt and can be replaced, she thought. Finally John walked in with her shirt in hand. He kissed her briefly until sitting down at a booth. "Want anything?" she asked. "Nah, I'm waiting till we go to Charlie's" he said. Charlie's was owned by, well, Charlie. He's and older man who loves his bar more than his own wife. Cassy went to go change her shirt in the restroom while John sat in the booth waiting for her to return. "I need to go clock out I'll be another minute," Cassy said and John said okay. Once done they got into John's truck- left Cassy's car to get later-and headed off to Charlie's. Once there, they got out and headed into the bar. It was packed of course with people drinking, music blaring, and a pool tournament which Cassy went straight for. She's very good at playing pool; she's not lost a game in three years and didn't plan on losing one tonight either. Walking over to the sign up board she checks out all the competition. She recognizes all of them of course. Mike Shaffer, home for the summer from college, he's a frat boy so he should be a bit of a challenge. Then theirs Sheila Waltson, no way should she be signing up, she doesn't even know how to hold a cue stick. She's probably doing it only because of her boyfriend Jacob Martin who is almost as good as Cassy. So he will most likely be helping her. There are a few others that know the concept of the game and a few that are good but none other than Jacob can even compare to Cassy's skill. She had been playing for well over five years; she spent all her free time learning and playing in tournaments like this one tonight. Cassy walked over to Jacob and held out her hand as a friendly gesture to show her sportsmanship. He takes her hand in a firm grip leans over and whispers in her ear, "I'm gonna win tonight sweetheart, you can bet on that." Cassy whispers back just as softly, "How much?" with a smug look on her face, she knows she's going to win and just wants to play with him. "Fifty, but I might warn you, I've been practicing," he said and pulls back. He lets go of her hand walks to get him his stick as Cassy does the same. "You can line up the balls sweetheart, but I'm breaking. I'm not gonna give you a chance to even start to play." Cassy lines up the balls and motions for him to start. He lines up his cue with a firm grip and hits the billiard ball hard and knocks the other balls scattering them everywhere. The five goes in and he lines up another shot. John watch's Cassy from across the room drinking his beer at the bar. He knows how good she is and is confident that she will win against this smug bastard. Yeah he's good but not as good. He watch's while Jacob keeps hitting balls in and Cassy is off to the side with a bored look on her face just waiting for her turn to get Jacob in check. Jacob finally misses a ball; he has hit in 5 already and now has a mad look on his face. Guess he knows he's about to get his ass kicked in this game. Cassy smiles broadly at him and lines up for her first shot. Two balls go in at the same time and Jacob just scowls at her. She hits all her balls in then goes for Jacobs and last the eight ball. She makes it with no effort and straitens up. "I guess you owe me fifty bucks now don't you Jake," she said with an innocent looking smile on her face. "NO! I demand a rematch, that was a fluke," Jacob said with a red face. "Hunny, we could rematch all night I would still win." Cassy said with conviction. "I ain't givin' you my money, that's all I got." "Yes, you are Jacob it was a bet now hand it over." she said stepping right up to him with a stern look on her face. They were now face to face scowling at each other when another man walks up behind Jacob and pulls him away so he can face Cassy. In a deep voice he said "How bout you play me," He was tall dark and handsome, chiche, she thought. Black hair, long and kind of disheveled and the most gorgeous blue eyes that any girl could get lost in. He was wearing a very tight and very white shirt that you could see everything through, the broad shoulders and firm chest that you just want to touch. She was too transfixed on his chest to see anything below it. She realized she was starting and looked back to his face with blush spreading on her cheeks. "Now why would I want to play you?" she asked. She knew she wouldn't be able to play and win against him. She would be too engrossed looking at his chest to pay attention to the game let alone stand up on her own. She just about collapsed he was so close to her and he smelled so good. Some kind of cologne and a manly musk scent. "Their are terms of course," he said ignoring her question "If I win he doesn't pay you, and you let me buy you a drink. If you so happen to win, he pays you the fifty he owes you and you will also get fifty from me. Does that sound fair?" he asked. "I have a boyfriend just so you know, but yes, sound's fair." She set up the balls and aimed to break. One ball went in the far right pocket and another one in the far left pocket. She went to aim again and fumbled when she looked up at this mystery man. "Hey, what's your name anyways?" she asked "I'll tell you when I buy you that drink," he said aiming and hitting a ball in the right side pocket. Smug bastard, Cassy thought. They went back and forth, hitting and pocketing a ball and missing the next. A crowd had gathered around them watching the duel play out. Cassy was not performing at her best; she was trying to figure out who this guy was. He certainly played the part to look like a local but she knew everyone in town. His eyes look familiar, those light blue eyes that you could get lost in. The dark hair seemed familiar too but she could place it. Only the eight ball was left and it was Cassy's turn since this man just lost his shot at it. She lined up her cue with a firm grip. She looked up at the man with a smile and hit. She missed. WHAT!? how could she miss, she was lined up strait. The she realized she wasn't paying attention she was looking at this man when she hit. She couldn't believe she missed it was a perfect shot. What the fuck!? Why could she not take her eyes off this man for one minute to win the damn game? She thought. Cassy groaned, went over to lean against the wall for this man to win the damn game. The man hit the billiard into the eight ball and went straight into the corner pocket. He straightened up and shot a wolfish grin at her, Cassy groaned again. She stuck out her hand to him "Good game," he shook her hand back. Cassy then turned toward Jacob with a scowl on her face. "I guess you get to keep your money this time," she turned back to the man. "You're good, where did you learn?" she asked. "I played in high school at the local arcade, and in college, we had a table in our Frat House. I was the best one there, and it seems you're the best here. I knew I'd win." he said with conviction. "Luck was the reason you won, no one ever beats me, so it has to be pure luck," she didn't want to admit that she had been starting at his ass when he bent over or his chest when he wasn't looking at her grinning. "Alright call it luck, but I still one fair and square," he said and Cassy turned around and headed to put her cue stick on the wall hanger. She could fell eyes on her back and looked over her shoulder to see the man looking at her. Is he checking me out? She thought. She shook her head to clear it and turned back to place her cue stick up. "Ready for that drink now, Casandra?" he asked. Did he just call her Casandra? She hasn't heard anyone call her her full name in a very long time. No one called her that anymore. She felt weak in the knees and put her hand on the wall to balance herself. Why did he have to call her that? Only her family and family friend's knew her name and they didn't even call her that anymore. Wait a minute, she thought. She turned around to face him; he was standing right in front of her. Those blue eyes, the ones that seemed so familiar, yet she couldn't place them, but now.... "Gabriel..." His Promise Ch. 02 Thank you to everyone who wanted me to continue the story. I'm glad I have people who like it. I also want to say thank you to those who gave criticism. That always helps me out. I like to know what needs to be fixed or changed in my writing. This is the second installment and I hope you enjoy it!!! Thanks morningjewel ******************* "Gabriel" she whispered. She couldn't believe it, he is actually here. I cant believe I didn't place him before; but now, it all makes sense, she thought. He was acting like he knew her already, knew what she would do, like he could see into her mind. Of course he couldn't hear what she was thinking but he knew her so well that he knew what she would do. And he has been in her mind. They used to be best friends so of course he would know her better than she knew herself sometimes. But he left. He said he would come back but I didn't think it would have been ten years...she thought. "Don't you recognize me?" he asked. He knew she wouldn't because he had grown up - way up - since the last time he had seen her. But there is always a chance she might since they had spent every day with each other. "Not at first," she admitted, "What are you doing here?" she couldn't help but ask. They were still standing face to face and she could feel his hot breathe on her and it was starting to make her dizzy. As if Gabriel could read her mind he took her upper arms and pushed her back into a chair. He bent down onto one knee and took her hands in his. John didn't know what was going on, he was too wrapped up in a conversation with Charlie, the owner, to see Gabriel and Cassy so close together. The place suddenly got quiet and he spun around to see what was going on to see his girlfriend and the man who she was playing pool with, he was leading her to a chair and set her down. John got up off the stool and rushed over to them only to find Cassy's hands in this mans. "What the hell is going on here?" John asked through gritted teeth. He was trying to stay as calm as possible. He looked to Cassy to tell him only she just stared at whoever this man was like she was hypnotized. John then looked at this man who was holding his girlfriends hands and nudged him on the shoulder. He looked up at John who had is eyebrows raised waiting for a response. "Who are you?" Gabe asked. He looked up at him with a pissed off look on his face. He didn't know who this guy was and he was getting in the middle of himself and Cassy. Cassy could only sit there and stare at Gabriel. She couldn't take her eyes off of him for fear he would disappear on her again. She could hear the conversation around her but refused to look at John, she just couldn't. "You didn't answer my question. What is going on here?" John snapped. "Cas and I just had a great game playing pool, in which case I won. She got mad because she will not be getting her money from that guy over their." he said as he nodded his head in the direction that Jacob was standing. "I don't care about the damn game!" John exclaimed. A few people who were sitting and standing around close to where they were, looked up at John shocked. He rarely gets mad but he just couldn't take seeing Cassy like this. He didn't know who this man was nor did he care. John just didn't want this man touching his girlfriend the way he is. "I care about Cassy, what is wrong with her?" he asked. Gabriel let out a sigh, he couldn't explain everything to this man who obviously has some connection to Cassy he just didn't know what it was, yet. "She's just in shock." Gabriel explained. "Well, what happened to her?" John asked through clenched teeth, he was getting frustrated that this man was not giving him the answers he wanted. Gabriel completely ignored his question, "Cas," he said, "Cas, are you okay?" Cassidy was still staring at Gabriel who kept looking back and forth between her and John during the whole conversation. She couldn't believe he was actually here, she never thought she would see him again and here he was holding her hands and staring strait into her eyes like he could see into her soul. There's so much she wanted to say but she couldn't get it out all she could do was stair blankly at him. Finally after what felt like an eternity she blinked rapidly and shook her head trying to clear what was buzzing around in their. "Are you really here?" she asked. "I'm pretty sure," Gabriel said, a little confused on why she wouldn't think he would be here. Cassy squealed and threw herself at Gabriel wrapping her arms around his neck. He swayed backwards to his heels ready to topple over but he put his arm out behind him to stop the process. With the other arm around her he held on tight chuckling a little and closed his eyes. This is exactly the homecoming he was hoping for. All Cassy could say was "I cant believe you are really here," over and over into his shoulder where her head lay. John just stared at them a little bewildered. He had no idea who this man was but apparently Cassy knew him. They seem to be friendly, he thought, a little too friendly for my liking. So he cleared his throat in an attempt to get their attention. They pulled away from each other reluctantly smiling and stood to face John. "Sorry" they both mumbled. "John this is Gabriel, an old friend. Gabriel this is my boyfriend John." They both glared at each other and shook hands. Both held on tight and for a little too long. From first site neither of them liked each other. Its probably because they care about the same girl. So Cassy decided to intervene, "How about lets sit and talk, okay? she asked trying to not anger them. They both took a seat of course on either side of the square table so they were facing each other. Cassy of course was in the middle looking back and forth between the two. She spoke first, "What are you doing here?" she asked Gabriel. "I'm moving back," he said nonchalantly. "I bought a house over on Rosedale Dr." "Your moving back?" Cassy asked raising her eyebrows. She figured maybe he was here for a visit or something but not to move back. Certainly not to move back to this Podunk town, there is nothing here at all, why would he move back? Maybe to be with you, the little voice in the back of her head said and she smiled at that. Gabriel just smiled at her question and she smiled back, glad that he was finally here. "Yay! We have so much to catch up on what's been going on with you, tell me everything." So Cassy and John kept listening to Gabriel tell them about what has been going on with him and his life. How he had gone to college and about his job. He seems to have it made, Cassy thought, he wouldn't want me, not after all this time, and especially since he has a perfect life. I would just mess it up. But what other reason would he be back here but to be with me. He did promise after all that he would come back. Maybe he's going to take me far away from here, Cassy thought and sighed inwardly. Then theirs John to think about. Of course John would be devastated if Cassy left with Gabriel. It would crush him. She couldn't do that. She would have to find some way to let him down easy. Wait a minute, Cassy thought, he never asked me to go away with him, I'm getting ahead of my self here. Get a grip Cassy, she chastised herself. The whole time Gabriel had been talking John kept getting closer and closer to Cassy showing that she was his. They had ordered some drinks in between chatting back and forth to calm all the nerves that were going around. John and Cassy were seated right next to each other when Gabriel finished talking. Then Cassy started talking about her life then. How she had stayed in town and finished high school. Never went to college though she wanted to, just never had the money and that she worked at the Diner as a waitress. Looking back on it now Cassy realized she hadn't done anything with her life. Nothing at all. She pretty much just gets up in the morning goes to work, comes home, goes to sleep and does it all over again. She isn't as wild as she used to be when she was younger. Of course that was when she was with Gabriel. They had always gotten into some sort of trouble. Breaking windows in run down buildings, sneaking out at night to ride their bikes, or to go the "tree house" as they had called it. Which was really just a few pieces of plywood stacked up around a tree. But now Gabriel is back, and maybe my life can be the way its supposed to be. Carefree and wonderful except for one thing. John. He was the only thing stopping her from doing all of that. She cared about John, loved him in a way, so she couldn't just abandon him to do all those things. He has feelings too and I need to think about those feelings, Cassy thought. The conversation had come to a standstill and the bar was emptying out. Which John decided it was time for him and Cassy to get going. "So, you'll call me right?" Gabriel asked Cassy. He had given her his number during their conversation. "Of course, we will have to go out for lunch or dinner or something." she said, although she wished it was breakfast after a long night of.... No. She couldn't think of that. She had John, she was happy with John. She loved John. Her mind was set, no more improper thoughts about that gorgeous hunk of meat sitting a foot in front of her that she just wanted to...NO! "I'm going to go wait out in the truck for you okay, baby," John said then kissed her on the head. "Okay, I'll be their in a minute." then John stood up and headed for the door. Gabriel scooting his chair next to Cassy's, he got real close to her she felt like she couldn't breathe. Is he really going to do this here? She thought. I've got a boyfriend, what is he thinking trying to kiss me? Bur she was wrong. He leaned in close to her and moved his head to the side of hers as if to kiss her ear but he just whispered. "You know, if you don't I'll come looking for you, I know where you work, Cassandra, ill find you." Cassy shivered involuntarily. He pulled back and then stood. All she could do was gape at him, mouth open and eyes wide staring at him and his words. All he had to say to her expression was a wolfish grin that promised mischief. And she definitely wanted his mischief, even if her face didn't express as much. Gabriel turned and started walking away but before he got too far he looked over his shoulder and told Cassy, "I'll be seeing you, Cas." then left. Cassy followed suit, got in Johns truck as they headed to Cassy's place. John was pretty much having a conversation with himself since all Cassy could get out was uh-huh's and nuh-uh's the whole ride back. She was lost in her own thoughts of Gabriel. He is gorgeous was all she could really think about. The perfect smile with the prefect set of teeth. Gorgeous eyes, strong build and nice, nice ass. She could watch him walk away forever. But something was bothering her. He had pretty much promised mischief, but what kind of mischief. She didn't want John hurt in whatever he was planning. And she knew he was planning. She could always tell by the glint in his eyes. She had to protect John from whatever it was, but she also wanted to follow her own path and be that carefree girl she knew she could be. And she knew she couldn't with John, he was and orderly type of man. Liked things put in place, neat and clean. She liked to just live life as it comes. Go with the flow. John and Cassy got out of the truck once they were at her place and headed inside. "You okay, baby?" John asked. "I'm fine, Why?" "You just seem like your in your own little world" and of course she was. She had so much to think about and so much to consider. "Its just been an interesting night is all," she said with a small smile which John returned. "Wanna go to bed?" John wiggled his eyebrows at her suggestively. "Yes, but no in the way your thinking so get that thought out of your head you prev." Cassy said smiling broadly now and shaking her head at him. He is such a guy sometimes, she thought. "Aww, don't do this to me baby, its been a long day for both of us. We could really use it." "You mean YOU could really use it. I'm so tired I might collapse here on the floor. Then what are you going to do?" Cassy asked raising one eyebrow at him questioningly. "I'd carry you to bed and have my way with you of course," he said with such an innocent expression and soft voice all Cassy could do was laugh at him and he laughed to. They headed into the bedroom and got ready for bed. John just stripped down to his boxers and Cassy took off her pants and shirt, which left her in only her bra and underwear. They got into bed and John took Cassy into his arms to hold her tight. He kissed her on the forehead and told her goodnight. He drifted off to sleep not soon after. Men, was all Cassy could think once he fell asleep. They can sleep anywhere at any time. They could probably doze off to sleep standing up. Cassy laughed at herself for thinking that one. Cassy lay there lying in bed going over what had happened that night. Gabriel was back and he moved here? Why would he do that? To be with you stupid, one part of her mind told her but the other kept saying he's probably got girls throwing themselves at him all the time. Blonde headed, fake boobed girls to be exact. All guys like those kinds of girls so why not him? But if he was here for her, that would mean he kept his promise. But she couldn't just be with him she had John to think of too, and herself. What if he's changed? Shouldn't bother with that now, ill find out soon enough, she thought. Her last thoughts before falling asleep were of her and Gabriel making love for the first time... ****************************** Gabriel left the bar with a massive hard on. Being so close to her made his dick jump in his pants. He couldn't help but feel aroused by her very presence. She has definitely grown up, he thought. She's absolutely gorgeous. He couldn't believe she had a boyfriend. Of course what was he expecting to come back to. Her open arms? Of course she had moved on its been ten fucking years. Their probably on the fast track to getting married, the thought. Why did I say that to her, 'ill come looking for you,' that's the stupidest thing I've ever said, he told himself. But he needed to be close to her. She smelled like strawberry's and something else he couldn't place. God he just wanted to touch her, but she had a boyfriend or he would have been all over her. He started to come up with a plan to win Cassy over. Show her that he's the man for her and not that scumbag John. What's his story anyways? Why does he want her? He looks like he can have any girl, why his girl? He needed to know all those answers. But he knew he would get them. There's got to be something flawed about the man and he would figure it out if it killed him.
