Gypsy Designs Ch. 04

"If this is how it feels for me, what's this like for you?" she asked looking up to meet his eyes.

With a growl he took her hand pressing the palm of her hand against the front of his jeans, her fingers stretched along the length of his cock. "You're burning and I'm not only on fire but so hard I'd explode if you were to just touch me," he said through clenched teeth, pushing her hand away suddenly when her fingers closed around the hard ridge caressing innocently.

"Stop now," he said firmly seeing shock initially in her eyes only to be replaced with a twinkle of mischief now knowing the power her touch had on him.

"But what if I want to explore some more?" she asked in a whisper, her fingers brushing over the ridged muscles of his chest before slipping down to his stomach circling his belly button. Snagging her fingers at the edge of the waistband of his jeans she glanced up at him, smiling when she saw his closed eyes and the strained look on his face. Taking a deep breath she slowly dropped her hand brushing her finger tips along the swollen length of flesh hidden beneath the tight jeans he wore, the deep growl that escape him making her pulse race and her breath quicken as her own body felt as if it was going up in flames.

He grabbed her wrist pulling her hand up to his mouth before placing small hot kisses along the inside of her wrist directly over the pounding pulse. "You, young lady get your tempting ass out of here and up to bed before I lay you back and see what I've been imagining, and that would be you naked in my bed, your body wanting mine before I push deep inside you," he said his hand dropping to cup the damp spandex covering the mound hidden between her wide spread thighs, pressing her firmly into his palm, his fingers brushing intimately over the heated crotch of her shorts.

She sat back on her feet quickly, "You really don't fight fair when pushed do you?" she said with a giggle, fighting to stop the trembling his touch caused to shot through her lower stomach, the tingling spasms almost painful as they coursed through her. "I guess I should thank you for letting me test myself and experiment knowing you'd never go beyond anything I said no to," she admitted scooting to the edge of the bed standing, facing him not even bothering to pull the damp fabric of her shirt together.

"Just be careful Gypsy there might be one time when I can't hold onto that control as well, so experiment with care and warning," he said leaning down cupping his hand behind her neck pulling her lips to his in a savage kiss that left both of them breathless before turning, walking around the bed and into the bathroom closing the door while she went upstairs to her own room for the night.

***************************

Gypsy had started a pot of coffee when Megan walked into the kitchen her hair tousled, her eyes dreamy. "Megan you're such a slut," she laughed getting two mugs from the cabinet before turning to look at her best friend who'd sat down at the bar propping her chin in her hands.

"I don't think I can be called a slut because I didn't technically 'sleep' with him," she laughed, "now I'm not going to say we didn't get involved in some seriously and satisfactory heavy foreplay after everyone went inside," she grinned accepting the coffee Gypsy handed her with a nod of thanks.

"Christian and I finished the other bottle of wine everyone abandoned," she said rubbing her forehead slightly, "but mind you that had little to do with what happened, it was destiny," she said raising her mug in a toast.

Putting the mug on the counter she looked at Gypsy, "I wanna know how you really have room to talk after Mr. tall dark and breath takingly handsome, carried you inside here last night with out a word to any of us, the sexual tension so thick it was like a massive lightning storm between the two of you," she laughed seeing Gypsy blush bright red.

"Well if you'd looked, I was already in my room asleep when you finally crawled out of the pool last night," she smiled sweetly, "nothing happened, well not much," she admitted self consciously.

Megan stared at her, "You mean to tell me with the way the two of you look at each other and nothings happened? Wow talk about sexual frustration," she said her mouth open in shock. "I'm sorry Gypsy I just assumed because the two of you act like lovers with the way you talk to each other and how he watches you and touches you," she said taking another drink of coffee shaking her head.

Gypsy wandered around the counter, sitting down on a stool beside Megan, "It's my fault," she said softly, "Since I've never been sexual with anyone I can't make myself jump into anything, especially after the disaster I made out of my life with my last relationship," she frowned.

"You've never came out and told me you'd never been sexually active but I knew it," Megan said gently patting her arm, "I'm proud of you," she smiled seeing Gypsy blush a little again. "Sometimes I wish I'd waited," she laughed, "but I think last night would've been the end of it. Yeah I know we didn't take it all the way," she laughed when Gypsy snapped her head up their eyes meeting, "But I would've. Christian said something wasn't right, he was looking out toward the woods, like he thought there was an animal or something out there He said he's going to talk to Caydn about it. So he walked me inside and said we'd take up where we'd left off soon," she giggled.

Gypsy heard the gate buzzer, answering the phone before pushing the button to open the gate as Caydn had showed her. "Vince's bed is being delivered I almost forgot, he and Sophie get to come home today," she grinned finishing her coffee, grabbing the keys to their private entrance. "I'll be back as soon as we get the bed in and set up, if you want we can run to the store and try and come up with something for a welcome home dinner," she laughed heading out the door to meet the truck.

Megan took over the shopping cart and list when they got to the store, having been raised in Italy by some of her mother's family she wanted to make a nice dinner to thank Gypsy's aunt and uncle for all the help they'd given to Gypsy and also for allowing her to visit.

Gypsy laughed shaking her head when Megan ran her out of the kitchen as soon as they unloaded and unpacked the bags of groceries. Going upstairs she made a few return calls about appointments to show her designs, and discussed designing one of a kind outfit for some of the women she'd met at the party she'd attended with Caydn.

Hearing a sound she looked out the window seeing the ambulance following Sophie's car around the house to the side entrance, tossing her pencil on the table she ran downstairs to meet them.

"I really don't see what all the fuss was about," Vince grumbled when Gypsy rolled him into the kitchen. "I was going to be getting off that stretcher and into this chair so what would've been the difference if I'd sat in the car instead of being flat on my back?" he muttered.

Sophie sat at the counter, the strain showing in her face the past month had taken on her. "Megan dear you really didn't have to do all this cooking for us, but thank you it's wonderful I was wondering what I was going to fix the grouchy man to eat, not knowing what Gypsy might have picked up while she's been busy becoming an over night sensation," she smiled proudly at her niece.

"If the two of you wouldn't mind all of us having dinner in our apartment tonight, I need to get this one into bed and let him rest so the therapist will give the doctor a good review after she comes to see him tomorrow," she said walking to Vince's wheel chair, turning him toward their rooms.

Megan nodded and smiled. Stirring the thick bubbling meat sauce she'd made the spicy aromas filling the air. "How about Gypsy and I bring it in say about seven so both of you can get some rest or just relax it had to be tiring with all the planning and moving around today," she said glancing at Vince seeing his small nod of thanks while he patted Sophie's hand at his shoulder.

"Gypsy you go sew, I'm going to look at some of these designs and write down what my marketing ideas would be, later maybe you'll tell me if I got the idea behind the outfit right," she laughed sitting down at the table pulling the large stack of drawings in front of her, Caydn had left on the table.

Gypsy laughed, "One of these days you're going to have to remind me why your such a good friend when I'm such a basket case all the time," she waved before walking up to her room, sitting down at the sewing machine losing herself in the mental image of the garment she was creating.

Vince handed his plate to Sophie frowning, "I don't like this at all, especially with me not being able to get around," he said firmly. "I don't want either one of you wandering around with out letting someone know where you're at and who you're with," he said looking at Megan and Gypsy.

Gypsy wondered why he'd gotten so upset after hearing Megan say Christian had felt something wasn't right the night before.

Sophie sat down beside him nodding her head in agreement. "Do you think I should call and have the dogs brought back to patrol the property?" she asked quietly, before looking at the girls. "From time to time if there's a disturbance in the area or maybe a break in with in a few blocks, we contact a guard company and they come in nightly and bring guard dogs that wander the grounds, then pick them up in the morning," she explained, "the property's to big to keep up with every last inch of it so they've been a wonderful deterrent in the past."

Gypsy shook her head, "I don't think there's any need to go to that extreme, more than likely it was a stray animal that just made a sound alerting Christian," she said quickly. "I'm sure Roland's found someone else to harass now that not only am I gone but Megan's not there for him to harass and badger," she smiled.

Megan took the dishes, stacking them on the small table she and Gypsy found in the pantry. "I'm going to be going out for an hour or so this evening," she grinned meeting Gypsy's questioning eyes. "Christian's looking at some property and from what he said it sounds like it's almost next door, he asked if I'd like to go with him while he took the grand tour with the real estate woman," she laughed when Gypsy rolled her eyes.

Vince nodded, "As long as you're going to be with Christian then that's fine," he said glancing at Sophie with a slight smile.

Gypsy chuckled, "Okay we're not safe from a stray dog or cat but Megan's safe with Christian, the undeniably sex starved international playboy, to go running around the neighborhood and investigating dark houses?" she leaned back shaking her head.

Sophie laughed, "Christian's a very good man even though he does seem to ooze sexuality as most men wear cologne," she laughed when Vince's brow rose to his hair line.

"No matter what the man's like he's a born protector and very skilled at it so Megan will be as physically safe from harm as can be, now from his charm that's entirely up to her," Vince sighed.

"Now I hate to admit it but I'd like to rest a bit before Jazleen comes rushing in demanding to know why I was foolish enough to fall off that damn ladder in the first place," he said with a groan, "Thank you for the wonderful dinner Megan, have fun and listen carefully to Christian while you're out tonight. Gypsy I'll see you tomorrow my dear," he said squeezing her hand.

Megan had left about an hour before with Christian so they could tour the house. Jazleen was inside visiting with Sophie and Vince while Phillip and Caydn were in the study debating business methods, Gypsy took her mat out near the pool to relax and spend some time doing some yoga.

The cool night air was refreshing she thought closing her eyes taking a few deep breaths to clear her mind. Opening her eyes, she was glad Caydn had showed her how to adjust the lighting of the pool dimming it so it was just a subtle glow, helping create a peaceful setting for her to workouts.

Stretching she heard the usual clutter of thoughts brushing her mind, every so often Caydn would chuckle knowing she was trying to push everything out but he kept thinking how she'd felt the night before in his hands and against his mouth. Doing this made her shake her head smiling gently while she changed positions.

Extending her leg, and then raising her hips, arching her back she felt her heart skip a beat, all too familiar flashes ran through her mind, the bitter taste of danger and evil filling her mouth making her skin dance beneath the penetrating chill. Pausing for a second taking a calming breath, she closed her mind off so she wouldn't be broadcasting to anyone, not wanting to cause Caydn's rage that she'd decided she wanted to handle this on her own.

She held her breath feeling the waves of anger washing over her as Roland moved closer through the woods. Focusing on his thoughts, she debated if she really should've blocked herself; his rambling thoughts were making the hair on the back of her neck stand on end something she'd never experienced before.

"Roland I think that it'd be better if you leave and we can forget you ever showed up," she said keeping her voice calm, lowering her body to the mat.

"Gypsy I think you of all people should've known no matter where you'd go, I'd find you because as I've told you over and over I've got everything planned and worked out for our lives, you need to finally realize I meant what I said," he said stepping from the trees. His eyes moving over her with disgust after having seen her standing near the pool with some tall muscled up man the night before, and then he'd carried her into the house as if he'd owned her. His hand clenched into fists thinking about it, she was going to have to be taught a lesson as soon as he got her away from these people there was no doubting that.

Gypsy mentally gauged how far the house was in conjunction to where she was sitting and where Roland was. Feeling her stomach turn from the anger, hatred and violence that radiated from his mind, she dropped her blocks letting anyone in the house who had the ability to read her do so quickly.

"Roland your ideas about what you want out of life and mine were different is all. There really isn't any reason why you and I can't just go on with the different paths in our lives and be happy," she said smoothly, keeping her voice as calm as possible before moving to one knee before standing to face him.

She was shocked to see the once immaculate assistant professor she'd met years before, the man she'd seen stalking around corners at the university and in her life in general. His eyes looked sunk in his head as if he hadn't slept in days, his clothes were filthy and torn, a darkness seemed to surround him.

Anger filled her when she realized she'd allowed this now pathetic excuse of a man to disrupt her life for so long. Putting her hands on her hips she glared at him.

"What in the hells happened to you?" she snapped sharply her voice ringing out loudly in the darkness. "You look like one of those homeless men you thought it was so much fun to ridicule and make disparaging comments about," she said shaking her head.

"Roland has it ever dawned on you that if you put as much energy into your own life as you've put into making mine a living hell the last year and a half that you might've actually found some brainless little twit that didn't mind the thought of having you step in and run her life for her. But guess what, I didn't like the idea then nor now," she almost snarled taking a step forward, knowing instinctively Caydn and Phillip stood somewhere close in the darkness waiting, letting her take care of things if at all possible.

"Gypsy you don't have any idea what you're saying, this time I'll forgive you since no doubt these heathen people you've surrounded yourself with have influenced you into thinking and saying these things," he said calmly. "I could see by your behavior last night that you've been brain washed by the barbarians and aren't acting like yourself," he snapped, his eyes glaring at her while his hand rubbed over his face roughly and then slid into the dirt matted hair tugging at it absently.

Her eyes almost glowed in the dim light she was so furious, "You dare call anyone a heathen or a barbarian when you're the one who can think of nothing other than getting your hands on me to 'teach me a lesson as soon as you got me away from here'?" she asked with a nasty laugh seeing the shock on his face.

"Something else you didn't seem to know about me," she threw her head back laughing, "I have this unusual ability to know what you're thinking so trying to deny it would be a waste of time," she glared at him.

"You're going to come back with me, once we move your things into my house then we'll go to the court house and get married by a justice of the peace, after we can tell my mother we were so much in love we couldn't wait for a large wedding," he said taking a step forward straightening the ragged jacket he was wearing. "It might take a few weeks but I'm sure I can cure your whoring ways from you and make you into a perfect wife mother will find acceptable."

She shook her head watching him carefully. "I use to think you were just impossibly stubborn but now I know you've stepped over that to a level of legally insane," she said slowly, thoughts and emotions distracting her for a second as she felt the same evil cold moving as if to penetrate her very bones.

"I want you to leave now Roland, or I'm going to call the police and have you arrested for as many charges as they can possibly write down even if it takes three or four sheets of paper to put them all on," she chuckled, a frown on her forehead when she tried to focus on him, pushing the angry thoughts from Megan out of her mind that suddenly invaded her mind.

Seeing the lights flash in the tree tops behind where Roland stood, she knew Christian and Megan were back. Christian must've told Megan Roland was there and she was receiving a serious backlash of her anger.

Roland glanced toward the car moving quickly up the drive to stop only feet from him, before turning back to Gypsy. "This is becoming a scene and Gypsy you know how I feel about scenes," he said firmly, "I was going to be kind enough to let you gather your personal belongings before leaving but I don't think that's going to be possible now," he said glancing at Christian who stepped from the black sports car as smoothly as a panther only seconds before he noticed Cadyn and Phillip stepping out of the darkness toward him.

"I can assure you once we're away from here we'll discuss what's acceptable and unacceptable behavior Gypsy so there won't be this type of slip up again," he said taking another step toward her, glancing at each man slowly, his smile some what sadistic.

Megan got out of the car, shaking her head when she heard what Roland said. "You're totally fucking insane Roland, get out of here and leave her alone," she said walking quickly toward him never expecting him to spin around toward her. His fist connected with her temper sharply slamming her back to crumble against the front of Caydn's car, her head hitting the car and the then pavement so hard the sound echoed through the darkness sickening Gypsy as she saw her crumble.

Gypsy screamed, running toward Megan, Christian seemed to leap over the car knocking Roland back violently before rolling and coming to his feet smoothly. Roland struggled to stand reaching to grab Gypsy as she knelt beside Megan.

A loud sound ripped through the air, Roland's body jerked around like a rag doll a large red stain spreading across his chest.

Caydn and Phillip were beside Gypsy instantly, pulling her back gently while Christian lifted Megan in his arms tenderly.
