lips, setting up a steady rhythm.
It didn’t take long for the two of them to grow impatient with the clothing that impeded their progress, and mutually they began removing them.
First the shirts, then his pants, and her skirt and undergarments, followed by his. When they were satisfied that not one stitch of clothing remained to bother them, they settled back into their former position with satisfied smiles.
“I want to be inside you, woman,” Gabriel told her.
“Yes!” she insisted hotly.
He was inside her within seconds, and the two moved together with passionate abandon. At first they couldn’t seem to get enough of each other. They gripped and pulled and tugged at each other in a frenzy of lust.
But then somehow the exchange became much more tender. They slowed their movements and their lovemaking became more of an embrace and less of a desperation.
“I love you so much, my wife,” Gabriel told her, and tears of happiness pricked at the corners of Betsy’s eyes.
“I love you, too,” she answered softly.
They moved together for what seemed like hours, just savoring the moments they were sharing together. And when they finally decided it was time to get back to business, it was with a much greater passion than it had been before. Their voices mingled together, growing louder as they continued to move. By the time they were done, they probably could have been accused of shaking the rafters of the old building in which they lived, and one of the neighbors was pounding on the wall.
“Would you shut up in there? Some of us actually have to get up in the morning!”
They smirked at each other as they stared at the wall, and then they got comfortable in the bed and pulled the covers over them, ready for some sleep.
“Don’t you ever miss your home, Gabriel?” Betsy wanted to know.
“I miss my hot tub,” he admitted.
“Don’t you mean your hot pool?” she teased him.
“Someday perhaps we’ll be able to return,” he said. “But for now, things are—complicated.”
“Yeah,” Betsy agreed. “Very complicated.”
“Let’s get some sleep,” he suggested, and that’s exactly what they did.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
The following day, both Betsy and Gabriel were expected to pay a visit to Lupo, and they decided to do it together. Rico drove them there, of course, and the three of them stood waiting to be noticed as the man took his time eating his late breakfast.
“It’s been over an hour already,” Betsy whispered irritably. “How much food can one man eat?”
“I heard that,” Lupo said from where he sat at his table.
“So sorry, Signore,” she said with very little sincerity.
“Andare, let us discuss business, and then I will continue to eat at my leisure.”
“Wow!” Betsy mouthed at her companions, who both had to suppress their laughter over the look on her face. The three of them stepped further into the cavern and stood before Lupo, one man to either side of the much shorter woman. They had no idea what the crime lord intended to tell them to do next.
“The three of you are a bit of an enigma for me,” said Lupo as he dabbed at his lips. “I sometimes think I should have simply let the Alphas take you when you were running from them last year. But, as Betsy has proved a useful courier and she seems to enjoy writing checks, I suppose it won’t be a bad idea to keep you around a little longer.”
“Yes, Signore Lupo,” they said in unison.
“I have figured out what to do with the woman. But, what to do with the two men?” he continued as he got to his feet. “I thought I would let the two of you take part in the shipping operation, but I can see that Gabriel and Lucretia would never get along well enough to get anything meaningful done, and it doesn’t help that everyone on her crew would like to see you all dead. So, I believe the best place for you two may be out on the streets, hitting up businesses for protection money. After all, that seems to
