All Chapters of CRAWLING TO YOU: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Gabby’s POVI just had to leave.Saying goodbye to my parents at the airport had been automatic…hugs, promises to behave, the usual warnings about staying out of scandals. We all knew the media would still find something to twist no matter what I did.The entire flight back to New York, I couldn’t stop staring at the photos a strange number had sent me.A picture of Aiden and some polished, model-looking woman at a mall shopping for baby things. Holding hands like it was the most natural thing in the world. Smiling at each other in a way that made my stomach turn inside out.Was that the same woman who had answered his phone and called him Puppy?Was that why he had left the campground so fast and treated me like I was invisible?Because he already had a baby mama? Because he was building something soft and permanent with someone else while I was still stupid enough to wait for him like his forbidden secret?Something inside me cracked clean through. I changed my ticket and left a day

Gabby's POV I tried to push him away. I really did. My palms pressed against his chest and my mind chanted that I should not give in, not after the photos, not after the silence. But my body had other plans. It melted against him like butter under heat. My insides clenched at the mere thought of him buried inside me again. The kiss turned filthy fast…his tongue claiming, teeth scraping, a low sound vibrating from his chest into mine.I finally wrenched my head back, both of us breathing hard.“So I was supposed to wait for you?” I demanded, the hurt slipping into my voice despite my attempt to hide it. “You ignored my calls. You ignored my messages. And now you just show up here expecting me to throw myself at you like a good little dog?”A ridiculous thought flashed through my mind. If he meant literally jumping on him, I wouldn’t mind jumping on his dick and maybe…riding a little?‘Urgh! Stop it, Gabby!’ I screamed at myself, mortified.“No… princess, I—”“Why are you really her

Gabby’s POVI came again with a muffled scream into the pillow, thighs shaking so hard I would have collapsed if he hadn’t been holding me up. He followed a handful of strokes later, burying himself to the hilt and spilling inside me with a long, guttural groan that vibrated through my entire body.For a while neither of us moved.The only sounds were our ragged breathing and the distant city noise beyond the windows. Eventually he eased out of me with a wet sound that made me whimper at the sudden emptiness. I felt the slow trickle of him down my inner thigh and shivered.Aiden disappeared into the bathroom and came back with a warm cloth. He cleaned me with a gentleness that didn’t match the way he had just ruined me…careful strokes between my legs, soft kisses along the inside of my knee, quiet murmurs when I hissed at how sensitive I still was. When he was done he tossed the cloth aside, pulled the covers over both of us, and gathered me against his chest like he planned to keep

Gabby’s POVFor one frozen second I just stared at the intercom screen without breathing properly.Julian was standing outside my apartment door like this was the most normal place in the world for him to appear at whatever ungodly hour of the morning it was.What the hell is he doing in New York? I sprinted back into the living room so fast the air burned in my lungs. Aiden was already on his feet, still completely naked, looking around for his clothes like the floor might suddenly produce a miracle.“It’s Julian,” I hissed, dropping my voice even though there was no way the intercom could pick us up. “Julian is outside. Did the two of you schedule some kind of brothers’ convention in my apartment and forget to tell me?”Aiden’s face went through about five different shades of panic in under a second. “W…wait what?” He stuttered. “He's here?”I looked at the panicked look in his eyes and a reckless little spark lit up in my chest. On a second thought…“Actually, isn’t this perfect?

Aiden’s POVJulian dropped back onto the couch and dragged both hands through his hair like the weight of the world had settled on his shoulders. The earlier suspicion had faded, replaced by something closer to embarrassment.Gabby groaned and squinted at him. “Please tell me this is not a girl problem.”Julian sighed again, longer this time and groaned out loud.Gabby’s mouth curved into a wicked little smirk. She dropped onto the cushion right beside me…closer than necessary…and tilted her head at her brother.“You’re always attracting the shadiest women, Julian. At some point you have to do better. Don't you think you're too grown for this?”Julian grabbed the nearest throw pillow and launched it at her head. I acted purely on instinct and caught it one-handed while she laughed hard…clutching her stomach.“What would you know?” he shot back. “You’ve never dated anyone.”Gabby settled deeper into the space next to me, her thigh pressing against mine. The contact was deliberate. I kn
