“I see you are not one for losing.”
it was never easy when the two are angry with each other, because they still loved one another so much. even when in a fight, they'd still, end up cuddling at night and by the next day anger was gone, but this one was bound to last longer. tyler had a difficult relationship with the mikaelson family and gabriela wanted to desperately change all of that. if anything, she understood his feelings towards klaus, the man also made her skin crawl, but she found it all trivial. all of them were grown ups and long gone was the hormones that clouded judgement. when he didn't shy away from her touch, the demon knew that it was okay to keep going.
"you know i will never turn down a quickie in a fancy place like this." her voice had this extra hint of sultry in it, maybe it was the dress and how she felt in it, or maybe it was how that suit hugged all the best spots of her husbands body. despite being married for several years, the two of them were still very much as active as ever, even more so now that the kids were growing up and getting their own places. nodding her head, she continued to speak in a lower tone, making sure that only he could hear as she spoke. "i do think they are here, i mean a decent amount of us are getting drunk and not all of us can handle our liquor that well." joining the faction was only for her families safety, nothing else. gabbi wanted to be in the know for every update on these murders and knew, that the people who got it first were often associated with klaus.
it was difficult to not give in, just lead her husband to some other room for privacy, it had been a few minutes since they'd been this close. he handled the news better than they thought he would, but they could still sense tension. "i don't think they are involved, but it's possible that they have spoken to who is apart of this." the closeness now wasn't entirely for secrecy, it was also to be near. she wasn't sure people got it, the love the two held for each other. for them it felt as if they were each others oxygen. gabbi was always sure of tyler, knowing that he was only the one for her. it happened so quickly and yet never dulled or stopped. "baby, i'm sorry that i didn't talk to you first about joining the faction, but i promise you it's only to get more information. we both know who gets news first and well i want to be close, so our family can stay safe. you are allowed to be upset, but please just know i never do anything to hurt you."
tyler thought that gabriela was breathtaking in her black gown , it seemed like the dress was made for her the way it hugged her body . she was a picture perfect sight , a goddess , was another word he would used to describe her . yet , it didn't change the fact that he was still mad at her for joining the faction . she knew he didn't trust the mikaelson's so he couldn't help but be upset that she had gone behind his back . when her hands rubbed gently against his hand , regardless of how upset he was he didn't deny her touch . it was their love language to touch and he knew that there was nothing she could ever do that would make him deny her anything . in her defense she was doing all of this for their family , he thought , as he was determined to understand her .
the lockwolf dark brows arched when she spoke of things that shouldn't happen . a smirk appeared on his face . " a quickie never hurt anybody ? " he teased . it was true when it came to the two of them , they needed each other like one needed oxygen . his shoulder stood a little taller to hers shoulders as they stood beside each other and watched the room . he tried to see if there was anything that should warrant concern . " you think the killers are here , too ?" he questioned . perhaps it wasn't so bad to have his wife on the inside of the faction after all , he thought , momentarily , but that thought was interrupted by the thought of niklaus and how much he hated that the hybrid .
when gabriela placed her arms around his shoulder , it allowed him to inhale her sweet delicate perfume . her love and affection was sending him through the roof but yet the lockwood male stayed focused on her words . " the frasers' , why ? " he questioned , secretly , when she asked who the owners of the bar were . tyler wondered if it had anything to do with who the killers were .
by the time gabriela found tyler after being seperated in the crowd, she noticed that he had two drinks in hand. a smile grew on her lips, as she walked over to her husband. still in awe with the way he looked tonight. it didn't matter that raymis was back, as long as she had her husband nothing stood in their way. taking the other glass from his hand, her fingers rubbed gently against his hand, feeling content any time his skin touched hers. "there are a lot of things that will probably happen tonight that aren't good ideas while a killer is on the loose." winking before taking a sip of her drink, the demon stood by tyler's side, her hip resting next to his as they scanned the room. "it's going to be much harder to spot who it could be with everyone hiding their faces."
shrugging, she turned to face him and draped an arm around his shoulders, her face getting closer to his ear. "who owns this bar?"

tyler had gone to the masquerade enchanted ball with his wife , gabriela . yet , they had separated momentarily while he left to get them drinks . the lockwolf took two of the champagne glasses that were offered by a waiter before he placed the champagne glass to his lips . " a masquerade ball while a killer is still out on the loose can't be a good idea . " he breathed , his inner thought brought to light .
gabriela looked up at him with big doe-like eyes after he pulled back, her lips still pouting from the kiss. every time he came back from these trips, the two would wind up in the same position, waking up tangled in sheets, while one of them as the big spoon. she'd welcome it every time, never once complaining. when tyler closed the spaced between them a chill ran up her spine, placing her palms on the counter behind them, she lifted her body up and sat on the edge of the cool tile, the icy feeling against her warm skin made her gasp softly. gabi's legs wrapped around his waist, making sure there was no space between them, as she tilted her head with a devious grin. leaning forward, she got close to his ear and whispered. "i miss the way you feel against me." biting her lip, she then kissed his earlobe softly, before pulling back to look him in the eyes.
"you did tell me everything by the way, so since i always keep my promises." their hands gripped the bottom of an already small shirt before slowly lifting it above their head, throwing it swiftly to the side, to reveal a sheer bra underneath. "i guess you could say, i was prepared." tyler would find out soon that her underwear matched.
she told him that he didn't have to thank her , but honestly he believed that she had deserved so much more . she deserved everything , she had deserved all of him and he knew that he would do anything for her , including die . after gabriela spoke all the lockwolf could do was smile softly as he felt her thumbs rub across his cheek . " me too " he confessed after she spoke about being happy that he was home .
he was lost in her gaze , she had the ability to make him feel like he was the only man in the world . her kind words were empowering as she kissed his lips softly . tyler hands moved to hold her face . " i know i'm not supposed to thank you but thank you . " he spoke before he kissed her back softly . " for being a wonder mother . . " he hummed against her lip . " and this is for being a damn good wife . " he kissed her deeply . his lips pressed into her sweet ones finding them to be addictive . all these years his fire still burned for her . still yearning for her touch , her kiss , and her love . " god i want you . " he confessed against her lips as he moved his body closer to her leaving no space .

deep down she knew that there was no need for promises, when it came to talking about hard feelings with tyler. the two of them had to have many conversations most couples don't need, such as hey i'm a demon and oh i turn into a wolf when the moon is just right. so yeah, there was no need to promise clothes would be off at some point, but she liked to think it kept everything fun. there was a type of joy gabriela couldn't put into words, when getting their husband to smile a certain way, after some comment made out neediness. all she could do was smirk, refusing to give any spoilers.
the two of them worked really hard to get here, years of emotions and situations that felt so out of control, but each time they found solace in each other. she'd fight for that all her life and make sure that her children knew, that type of love is what they also deserved. watching as her words soothed him made gabi's shoulders loosen, happy to hear him audibly breathe knowing how talking about his father made him often stop. "no need to thank me, i'm always here to remind you of the person i see." rubbing her thumbs on his cheeks softly, she tilted her head with a sweet smile. "i'm really glad you are home." she admitted, getting lost in the way his gazed met hers. it was difficult when they were apart, she'd sleep but never quite well and always slightly more tense than they'd hope. "it's so important that you were there for that kid and i'm glad that you get to be here for ours." she kissed him softly, lingering for a moment because it felt nice to hold him close. gabriela would sleep great tonight, even if there was a nightmare, the one person that could tame them would be right be her side.
" is that a promise ? " he flirted back with the brunet when she told him that he wouldn't regret it , if he told her everything . tyler didn't need an incentive to confide in his wife but the incentive didn't hurt . as much as tyler loved his kids he was happy to hear that the house only had the two of them in it . this meant that they didn't have to keep anything p.g.
his father was a sore subject for the lockwood male but with gabriela regardless of how hard it was to talk about his feeling ;; he had found it easy with her . she was a good listener , and there wasn't anyone else in the world he wanted to share those parts of himself with . her touch brought him comfort and relief . tyler listened as gabriela spoke . she had the ability to bring clarity to his sea of thoughts . he knew that she was right and her words had meant the world to him . that's all he had ever wanted ;; all he wanted was to be a good father and a good husband . her kiss on his forehead helped settle his emotions and her reassures made him sigh in relief . it was important to tyler to know that she had so much faith in him , and it gave him strength . tyler didn't know everything but all he knew was that he needed her . " thank you . " he breathed with gratitude . his hazelnut hues gazed over his wife's beautiful brown ones . " i can't tell you how much it means for me to hear you say that ." he confessed . " it means everything . you mean everything . " another confession escaped from his lips .
gabriela could tease him like this forever, this was one of her favorite ways to be with tyler. when the two of them were so in sync, they could communicate in a simple look. with a raised brow, her smirk stayed put. "i can't really tell you yet, but tell me everything and you won't regret it." the couple flirted pretty openly in front of their children, but they'd keep it dialed down to avoid glares and fake gags. to not have them home, meant that they could say what they pleased in the open. something gabi felt thankful for, since he had been gone for some time.
his tone shifted, it was expected but there was no getting used to her husband feeling crestfallen. tyler had told her all about his dad long ago, one night it just poured out of him. if there was anyone she held anger towards, it was his awful parents. the way he spoke caused her to drop making drinks, twirl on her heels and face him once more. placing a finger on his chin, gabi lifted his eyes to hers, making sure he would understand she meant it when she said her next words. "baby, there was nothing you could've done to help your situation with your father. he was an angry man and he took it out on his son. i wish i could change the way your first transition was, but maybe then you wouldn't help the wolves you do now, or be the amazing father that you are." giving him a soft kiss on his forehead, before resting her own on his, she let out a sigh. "our kids will never go through any of their transitions or changes alone. you already are doing the opposite of letting them down by being the man you are with them. tyler you have made it different for them already and they know that even when their hormones say another thing."
"really?" he hummed against her lips when she spoke of an idea , before pulling back to see her hazel hues . he was intrigued to say the least at her offer . a smirk rose , as his head tilted . " and all i have to do is talk ? . . what if i tell you everything ? what do i get then. " he teased his lovely wife , matching her seduction . gabriela told him that the kids weren't home which added a devilishly grin of his own , but then she mention his voice over the phone and the memories started rushing back . his wife always had the ability to see right through him , her gentle touch comforted him .
gabriela was tyler's sounding board so if he was going to tell anyone how he was feeling it was going to be her . " i was there . . i was there when the kid change and i could see the fear and his eyes . he was so afraid of the change . he was so afraid of the pain and it just got me thinking about what it was like for me , and how it's going to be like for our kids . " he sighed . " you know , i didn't have someone to talk me through my transition . " he confessed . " i remember that night , the fear and the sheer panic and grief of it all ." he shook his head . " and i didn't have a father because well mines was died . he was killed . " dark brows arched over cinnamon hues before he lowered his head . " not that my father could have helped because he didn't know what we were but i wished he did because maybe he wouldn't have beaten the crap out of me so much . . maybe he would have been proud of me instead of thinking of me as some colossal mistake . " it had pained tyler to go through the motions of it all . the lockwolf male sighed. " i just know that one day our kids are going to have to go through this and i don't want to let them down . i guess i just want it to be different for them that's all ." he confessed
she hummed softly as his fingers raked gently through her hair, his touch made her feel so needy. tyler was always someone she always yearned for. the moment they met, it seemed as if they were drawn together by fate. gabi viewed the man before her as a saving grace. their first interaction changed the very course of her life. their eyes darted from each others lips and back, as if they were waiting to see who would cave first.
once their lips touched, gabriela pulled his waist closer to hers. it was passionate and deep, causing her lips to linger for a few moments. she missed this. his skin against hers, the way he held on so firmly and yet it still felt so gentle. as their lips parted, gabi's eyes remained closed, a plan formulating in her head of what might happen for the rest of the night. a smirk rose on her lips before eyelids fluttered back open. "i have an idea, how about you tell me more and i show you more." a devlish grin replaced the smirk, as her forehead rested on his. "there aren't any kids here tonight and as much as i want to skip the conversation and go straight to our bedroom, the way your voice sounded on the phone is still playing in my mind." placing a hand gently on his cheek, she pulled back a bit, taking in his facial features. "so you tell me what's bothering you and then maybe i can help ease that worried brain of yours."
giving her husband a wink, she then began the process of making them drinks. keeping close to his body, unable to stay away too much since he had been gone for a few days already. maddison was spending some time with a friend, needing space after a failed test and gabi wanted to ask more questions, but knew that first emotions had to settle.
"is that so . " he breathed lightly when his wife confessed to being codependent when it came to him . " well i promise not to hold it against you . " he teased his love sparingly , but the truth was tyler couldn't breath until he saw gabriela again . when he was gone he felt himself going through the motions . he took his duties as a pack leader seriously but regardless of his duties there was one duty that trumped it all for him ;; and that was her . gabriela was not just his wife but she was his world .
while her arms draped around his waist his hand moved gently through her hair , as he looked down to meet her gaze . he watched her eyes dance around as she tried to take in his features . a smile surfaced as he admired hers . she was sweet and her touch was heavenly to the wolf . tyler had loved before but this was different . he had desired all of her , the good , the bad and everything in between . for tyler this was beyond love , perhaps an escape definition that didn't exist until them . gabriela had spoken about debriefing over drinks and that was definitely on his itinerary but not before pulling her in for a kiss . his lips pressed against hers softly , but deeply . his hand moved to couple her face as his lips caressed hers . he kissed her passionately , breathing her in gently as if she was the oxygen keeping him alive . tyler leaned his head against hers after their lips parted . " i just needed to do that first . " he confessed . " maybe we're both codependent . " he teased as his brown hues found hers .
gabriela was used to tyler leaving during the full moon, knowing that when he got back, the two would spend hours talking and holding each other close. not every trip caused him to come home with old emotions stirred up, but it appeared this one had. she could hear it in his voice on their first call, but waited to question him until they were able to speak face to face. the bayou had become their safe place, free from all the pain and judgement the world had brought them years before. seeing him there against the countertop, it caused her whole body to instantly soften. gliding over towards him gabi placed a hand on his face, taking in the way he felt against her palm. a smile growing on her lips once he spoke. "i don't mind being so co-dependent when it comes to you." she smirked before placing a soft kiss on his forehead.
standing in front of him, gabriela's arms snaked around his waist before tilting her head. eyes tracing his features, as if he had been gone for years. "i missed you too. how about i make us a drink and we debrief?"

tyler was happy to be back home . he had gone out of town for three days to help his friend's son learn how to transform into a werewolf safely , for the first time . this had brought back memories of the first time tyler had turned . he remembered having to remove all his clothes until he was completely naked before folding his clothes neatly to the side . he recalled putting the cold metal shackles on his wrists and ankles , which followed the endless waiting before every bone in his body broke over and over again , and last he remembered the fear of what would happened if the chain broke . however in the bayou where they lived things were different . there was no chains need amongst werewolf . tyler leaned on the kitchen countertop as he saw gabriela walk in . they had of course talked over the phone in his absence but to feel her hand move slowly over his face felt so needed . eyes closed as he felt a wave of peace and comfort rush through him . " god i missed this . . i missed you . " he confessed .
