The sex just confirmed it.

They were a matched set.

“It will work out. I’m not worried.”

Tony had to play Devil’s advocate for his friend. He owed her that.

“How do you know?”

Honestly, he just did, and he understood why Tony was asking. If Gabby had been his friend, he would ask the same questions.

So, he tried to explain.

“When you saw your wife that first time, what did you think?” Finn asked.

He considered it.

Then, he was blunt.

“That I couldn’t wait to tie her to my bed.”

He stared at him.

Wait.

What?

Did he just say…?

“Pardon?”

Tony shrugged.

“You asked what I first thought. That’s what went through my head. I wanted to tie her to my bed.”

Gabby pulled an earbud out and explained.

“Tony isVERYliteral. You asked for his first thought, and that was it. He’s being serious. Tony likes the kink. Don’t get him started. You’ll end up knowing too much about him. He will offer up pictures.”

He reached for his phone.

“Don’t,” he said. “I want nothing to do with your tally whacker in a picture. I mean it.”

Tony laughed.

“Suit yourself, but the answer is still the same. The second I saw her, with those sexy eyes, I wanted her tied to my bed. The second thing I thought was her body was amazing, and then, I was trying to figure out if there was a way to keep her. I was willing to go to extremes to make that happen.”

He stared at him.

“And you’re a Fed?”

He grinned.

“Trust me, no one is more shocked than me, Elizabeth, and sometimes my bestie, Chris. I like being bossy in bed. I can’t help it.”

Yeah, he bet.

“So, I guess you could say that I knew she was the one. She made me work for it, but I loved every second of it. Imagine her face when she ran away to escape me, and then I was her boss on a dig. Then, I made her mine, and she’s been mine since.”
