Speak To Me

(Jamie)

I took my wife's hand, helping her off the plane as the cool air rushed towards us. I had Gabriella change into something warmer because I knew the temperatures would be a lot colder once we got here.

By the time Rylan woke up, we were about forty minutes from landing. Gabriella had just woken up and we were eating lunch when he started to stir.

"What did I miss?" He asked, making me smile to myself as I kissed Gabriella on the side of the head.

"Nothing much." I responded cooly..obviously lying.

The image of Gabriella gagged with my tie will forever be burned into my mind..that was sexy as hell..I'm getting hard now just thinking about it.

I know for a fact I want to do that again..I have the urge to tie my wife up and ravage her body every way possible...maybe we can during our time away...

Once we stepped onto the runway, there was already a car waiting outside for us.

Ray quickly opened the back passenger door so we could get in. Once the luggage was loaded, we were finally on the road.

"Well, that was the best sleep I've had in a long time." Rylan groaned while stretching his arms and smiling broadly.

He never liked flying so he always opted to take some type of prescribed sedative and pass out. Works for me considering I usually just do some work or in this case, fuck my sexy ass wife in the back..yeah..I definitely think we need to take the private plane more often.

I quickly pulled out my phone and began going through some emails. My dad had everything handled at the office but I liked to be kept in the loop that way when I go back I am all caught up.

The only thing I'm anxious about is hearing from Mr. X. I put him on the task of finding information on Gabriella's supposed brother..so if anyone can do it, it's him.

"Gabs, you are going to love the house. My mom called ahead and had the housekeepers stock it up the fridge. There's even a hot tub." He said before wriggling his eyebrows and I couldn't help but shoot him a look.

Seriously? He doesn't realize that pregnant women can't go in hot tubs?! Well..I guess he is putting on a good front that he is fucking clueless.

It took about an hour to get to the house, and the deeper we got into the mountain the better I felt. There's no way he will find us here. I mean, it's no secret Rylan and I are friends, but we keep it low-key.

If anything he will probably think we are in Florida at my dad's vacation home.

"Here it is!" Rylan said excitedly as we pulled up to the gate. His family actually had the house renovated this past year and even installed a security system, so that will be good for Ray and his team. There is also a guest house in the back and an extra area above the garage. Suddenly the gates began to open after Ray typed in the code and then we started making our way up the long driveway. That's when I saw a car parked out front, making my brow furrow as I darted my gaze towards Rylan. No one should be here..

"Rylan.." I said his name firmly, seeing Gabriella look at me in confusion.

"Maybe it's the house keeper." He said a little too suspiciously as our car came to a stop.

"Would you like me to check the perimeters first sir?" Ray asked, making me nod once as my eyes stayed glued to Rylan. He knows exactly who is here...and I have a feeling too..fuck..can he be that much of an idiot? "Rylan, You better talk now before you really piss me off." I stated, making him let out a dramatic sigh.

"Fine..but you would've said no if I told you earlier!" He finally spoke, causing Gabriella glance between us nervously.

"I don't know why the hell you are pushing this..are you not even taking Jolie's feelings into account?" I snapped.

I watched as Gabriella's lips parted as realization seemed to hit her.

"It's okay baby..if you want we can go to a hotel." I quickly told her, not even wanting to stay here anymore.

"Seriously dude? See..this is why I did this shit! We have to get over whatever the hell is going on between you two." Rylan added, making me shoot him a deadly glare as I was so close to punching him in the face. "H-hey..it-its ok-kay." Gabriella spoke softly, her palms pressing against my chest as I looked down at her before letting out a deep breath.

"See, this isn't weird unless you make it weird..I just want everyone to get along.." Rylan added, and it was too late for him..I was fucking pissed. He and I would be having words about this..just not in front of my sweet and gentle wife..not when she calms me down too easily. "Now come on, let's go in." Rylan added before smiling at Gabriella encouragingly as it took everything in me not to kick him in the fucking nuts.

"B-baby..it-its r-really f-fffine." Gabriella said once more, her small hands sliding up to my face as I met those beautiful blue eyes.

"I know you say that..but I don't like how he did this. I don't like how he disrespected not only my wife but me as well. I get it..Jolie is his sister and we were friends at one point. But that crossed a line the day she told me her feelings and I will never put you in a position where you feel uncomfortable. So you have to be honest with me Gabriella..if at any point you want to leave, you need to tell me." I said deeply, knowing that Rylan had made things complicated.

Obviously I never had feelings for Jolie like that..but the fact that she did for me, it changed things..and I don't know if we can ever go back to how it was. Because I'm nervous that any type of interaction I have with her, she might take it out of proportion. "Sh-she is my fffriend." Gabriella spoke softly, making me nod my head once as I bent down, pressing my lips to hers.

"I know Princess..you have such a big heart." I breathed, meaning it completely..because I know for a fact that if a man had confessed his feelings for Gabriella and was still hanging around..there was no way in hell I would be okay with that. Maybe that's immature of me, but I would fear they might try and act on it at some point down the road.

"Come on, let's go in. My wife must be starving.." I said more calmly as I watched Gabriella nod her head up and down eagerly, making me laugh.

"Well then, let's go see what they got." I mustered a smile while sliding out of the car and helping my wife out next.

I couldn't help but stare as she glanced around the property in amazement. Her eyes absorbing the scenery around us as I leaned close to her ear.

"If you want, we can buy a vacation home out here. One we can take the kids to every year." I whispered, causing her eyes to widen as she looked at me in astonishment.

"Let's see how you like Aspen first..then once we get back home we can look at places if you want." I declared, making Gabriella smile broadly before jumping into my arms and hugging me tightly. "Let's go in before you catch a cold."

I pulled my wife towards the double front doors as the sound of shouting suddenly filled the air.

"Rylan! You can't just make this type of decision for people! How stupid can you be? Seriously!!" Jolie yelled, making Gabriella look at me in shock.

"Come on..someone had to do something! You just have to try Jolie..you two avoid eachother like the fucking plague.." He began and quickly stopped the moment we entered the house. "Jamie..I didn't know..I swear." Jolie suddenly rushed out, making me nod once as Gabriella shifted on her feet awkwardly.

"I know, you don't have to worry about it." I stated coopy, my eyes meeting hers for the first time. She has her arms crossed in front of her chest and looked like she might cry. Suddenly Gabriella stepped forward, her hand pulling from mine as she suddenly wrapped Jolie in a hug.

"I really didn't know Gabriella..I would never intrude..you know that right?" Jolie asked, making Gabriella pull back becore smiling up at Jolie and nodding.

"Well! Now that that's settled..let's go eat!" Rylan said triumphantly, making me scowl at him as Jolie glanced towards me once more before walking towards the kitchen with Gabriella.

That is not how this was supposed to go..fuck..damn Rylan..why does he have to try and fix everything?! I seriously think I might end up kicking his ass..
