Alpha Billionaire Series
Billionaire and the Barista Chapter 34

NATHAN

I agreed to stay behind while Gabriella picked up Robbie from school. She had to have told him I was at the apartment waiting for them because he burst through the door and tackled me in a fierce hug. He had a lot of strength for someone so small. Everything was, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy," as he discovered the giant teddy bear, dragged me off to his room, and showed me his toys. Part of me laughed at his enthusiasm. Part of me committed every second of it to memory. I had a son, and I felt equally as thrilled about him as he seemed to be about me. At some point he would grow out of his enthusiasm for having me around, until then, I wanted to shout "Robbie, Robbie, Robbie," with the same exuberance as he called me Daddy.

Gabriella leaned on the door frame to his room, as we sat on the floor, and he began pulling toy cars out.

"You think you can handle this? I have to go back to work," she said. Her smile told me she was just as happy about the two of us playing together as we were.

"Yeah, we've got this. Don't we, Robbie?"

"We can be a team," she said.

"Go team," she chuckled.

"Hey, what if we need to go anywhere?" I asked.

"You'll need to borrow my car; you don't have a booster. I don't think you even have a back seat. Do you?"

I shook my head. I needed to get the Jag into the shop, and I needed a different kid-friendly car.

"What kind of car should I get?" If I was going to buy a new car, I might as well get one she liked. Of course, I needed to buy her a new car as well.

She listed off some names I wasn't familiar with. "Those aren't car companies," I said.

"They're car seats," she said.

"No, I meant what kind of car should I get?"

Her eyes lit up with understanding. "I really liked that convertible Land Rover, but I think we're going to need something bigger, like a minivan. I know that's not impressive and it's a mom car..." she trailed off. "It's a dad car, and I'm a dad now, so... I'll take a look."

"Ok, wow. Car shopping will be fun. But not right now. I've got baking to do. You know where to replace me." She took a few quick steps into the room and kissed Robbie on the top of his head. I lifted my face to hers and she gave me a fast kiss. I hooked my hand around her leg and held her for a moment longer.

She mouthed the words 'I love you,' and left for work.

"So," I turned to Robbie, "you want to go look at cars?"

I called Jonah, and within a few hours, he was waiting for us with a newly installed booster seat in the back of his car. Robbie could barely contain himself as we stopped by to let Gabriella know we were headed out.

Robbie and I were in and out of minivans, while Jonah checked safety ratings and found us red ones. By the time Gabriella was closing up for the night, Robbie and I had a shining new, dark red, minivan. As an added surprise we stopped and picked up dinner at a nearby Italian place.

When she walked back through her front door, we had the table set and flowers as a centerpiece, ready and waiting.

"What is all of this?" she asked, a broad smile on her face.

"We got you something! Look, look, look," Robbie grabbed her hand and tugged her to the table so that she could see in the center of her plate was a set of car keys.

She picked them up and held them in her fist. "You didn't."

I nodded. "You said I needed a family car. So, with a little help from Robbie, I got a new car. Now, those are your keys in case you need to borrow the car. I figured you might want to pick out your own car."

She was in my arms and kissing me before I could finish. She was crying again when she stopped.

I stroked her tears away with my thumb. "I'm not that bad of a kisser, am I?" I teased.

"Why are you being so wonderful?"

I didn't think I was being wonderful. I thought I was showing her that I was taking being a father seriously, that I was listening to her, that I was doing what needed to be done because I loved her, and I loved that we were a family. "Because I love you, and you deserve everything."

Robbie was full of yawns by the time dinner was over. He begged me to stay and read to him. He didn't yet understand that I wasn't going anywhere. Gabriella watched as I read, and then tucked him in. She turned off his light and dragged me from his room, quietly closing the door behind us.

She led me down the hall to her room and closed that door as well.

"If I didn't know better, I'd swear you were planning on seducing me," I chuckled as I ran my hands around her waist and pulled her against me.

"That's the plan."

"But I didn't pack a toothbrush," I weakly mock-protested.

"I have extras in the closet." She began unbuttoning my shirt. "I can't believe you went and bought a car and that teddy bear. I'm going to have to charge it rent. And just... everything."

I stilled her hands and with a finger, tipped her chin up so she could look me in the eyes. "I love you, Gabriella. You have turned my world upside down, and I wouldn't have it any other way."

This time when I kissed her, I felt her need. Her kisses became greedy, and she began tugging at her clothes. I lifted her and placed her on the bed. I got rid of my clothes, and she wiggled out of hers.

Her skin was cool to the touch, but her hands felt like fire when they skimmed over my skin. I had already committed every curve of her to memory, and my fingers knew exactly how soft her skin should feel.

I was overwhelmed when I spread my hand out across her belly. We had a baby growing there. Already had one, sleeping in his own bed. I couldn't convey how much I felt for this woman. Her lips claimed mine, and I was lost.

She was everything soft and sexy. She wrapped her legs around me and I sank into her. Her hips lifted to meet mine, and we were together as we belonged. I held myself against her, not moving, but reveling in the feeling of being surrounded so completely by her. Her mouth on mine, our limbs wrapped around each other, her heat capturing my c**k.

My hips pulled back and I stroked into her. Her tiny moans were captured by my kisses. We slid against each other, body to body, skin to skin. This was so much more than seeing how many times I could make her cum, or if she would scream or not. This was claiming, possessing, giving. Everything I took from her; I gave the same of me. She was my everything. I needed her to know that. Wanted her to feel it with every cell of my being.

I slowed our pace, wanting to be in this moment forever. I looked down at her, her face framed with strands of sweaty hair, her lips swollen from kisses.

"What?" She ran her hands up my arms and held on to my shoulders. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

I shook my head. I didn't have the words. "You feel amazing, you are amazing."

She hiked her leg a little higher over my hip.

"You feel pretty damn good there yourself." Her smile sent a shiver down over my skin followed by an infusion of heat. She messed with my senses in the best way possible.

"I'm going to love you forever, I already do," I whispered.

She lifted her lips to mine. "I love you so much, Nathan," she said just before she started kissing me again. Her lips softly coaxed me to respond with gentle presses and tender bites as she pulled my lower lip between her teeth.

The feel of her was too much, I could no longer hold still. I became a driving force and what had been gentle lovemaking was now primal and urgent. Our hips moved together with crashing force. Her fingers that had caressed me earlier now gripped and dug in, demanding urgency from me.

I pushed up on my arms, changing my angle, giving myself more leverage. I started to make deep growling moans. I couldn't help it; I was nothing more than a grunting beast with her.

Gabriella reached up and covered my mouth with her hand. Her eyes were wide, and she looked off in the direction of our child's room. I got the hint and ground my teeth together.

This was a hell of a time to be thinking about insulation and soundproofing.

"Tell me you locked the door," I said.

Gabriella could barely make words. She was so fucking close, talking at the moment was next to impossible. She moaned something that sounded like it could have been a positive uh-huh and nodded.

Her body arched up against me. She tossed her back and gasped. I felt her muscles tense and grip and pull at me. Damn, she was beautiful when she came. She was wild and chaotic. She clawed at the sheets in desperation, and then she reached up and dragged me down to her. Her needy mouth sucked at mine. She was pulling me into her as best she could.

My body responded and I exploded, joining her in the overwhelming moments of orgasm. I pressed deep into her. I had enough energy and control to hold on for the wild ride that was taking us both.

We collapsed against each other, spent. I pulled her into my arms as I rolled off her. I didn't think I had ever been happier.

"Will you stay?" she asked.

"You're going to have a hard time getting rid of me," I said against her hair.

"Why would I want to get rid of you? You do that so extremely well. Seriously, Nathan, stay."

"I'm not going anywhere. I love you."
