14. Date
It was a couple of days after the incident, and Bree was still staying at Gage’s. Though she insisted that they move back to his vacant apartment, Gage had not been so subtle in delaying her moving arrangements, giving her some flimsy excuses about his place being installed with security cameras. And yesterday he declared that there was renovation in the backyard of the apartment assuring her that she has to stay longer at his house.
Bree also hadn’t been allowed back at Babes as Gage kept telling her that she deserves a couple of days off after the incident. He was telling her that he didn’t want her to get triggered by any of her clients for dancing too soon. She relents when the logic sets in, not wanting to cause any scene and embarrassed herself at the club.
But when Gage decided to fill her spare time by taking her on a date, she hesitated.
“What am I going to tell Hazel? oh god, Gage, I can’t lie to her face. I’m such a bad mom, this is not going to work out. We should end this us thing, there should be no us, there won’t be an us.” Bree was blabbering looking adorably cute as she panicked about what she was going to say to her little girl when Gage told her that he was taking her out to dinner.
Mrs. Mancini looked at both of them knowingly, yet she didn’t say anything. But she giggled when Gage winked at her, whispering not so softly while coughing out that he’s taking Bree on a date.
“What? I didn’t know she can’t know about us?” Gage snickered and took Bree’s arm to his.
“Oh, Bree go on, have fun. I’m sure Hazel will still be asleep when you return from dinner.” Mrs. Mancini practically pushed her to Gage and then ushered both of them out the door.
“Thank you, Mrs. Mancini, I’m bringing you the most expensive dessert they have.” Gage grinned widely making the older woman laugh at him.
Gage and led Bree to his car, she hesitates for a moment, but then allow him to open the passenger door for her and she gets into his car. It was their first date, Gage was feeling a bit nervous but he shook it off thinking it was because he was catching on to Bree’s nervousness.
“This is really nice, thank you.” Bree looked at her surroundings the moment they got there. Gage took her to a nice restaurant. Not too posh that she’d feel out of place but expensive enough that she didn’t want to look at the pricing. One thing for sure it has been ages since she went out to dinner with a man. It had been Everett for as long as she can remember, making her a bit awkward in her seat trying to think of something to talk about.
“It’s been a while for me too,” Gage stated as if he was reading her mind.
“I…”
“It’s okay, Bree, just relax. Okay?”
She smiled but didn’t get the chance to reply as the waiter arrived to take their orders. Gage helped Bree and ordered for her, taking care of the decision-making that she had been doing since she got divorced.
“Thank you.”
“It’s my pleasure.” He smiled as he caressed her hand across the table.
“So… um, any news on the guy?”
Without asking further he knew she was asking about her assailant.
“Rockford is doing his best, you have nothing to worry about. You’re perfectly safe at my house.”
“Right,”
Gage chuckled at her reply knowing she was nervous to the point where she didn’t know what to talk about. “Bree, do you want to talk about the weather?”
“Gage!” she gasped scandalously as if she knows she was caught at her failure in making small talks. He laughed and once again told her to relax.
“We should’ve gone to McDonald’s, I bet I’ll be more comfortable there. This place is too quiet, I can hear people whispering.” Her voice whispered making him grin.
Gage tried to contain his laughter and failed miserably, making Bree scrunch her nose and tugged her lips back in annoyance which made him even more entertained by her little quirks.
“Oh, Bree… we should’ve done this sooner. You just gave me ideas for our future dates!” the cheeky smile he plastered on his face made his feature look more irresistible to Bree.
“Gage! don’t you dare! no more nice restaurants! I need to see kids running around or preferably talking and playing with their food when we dine.”
Bree made him laugh again and she joins him at the same time as Gage realized he hadn’t felt that happy in such a long time. The happiness that came simply from sitting down and having a nice meal with the most beautiful woman in the room.
Bree drinks her water trying to hide her giddy, excited, and tense feelings. She tried to slowly calm herself down then finally relaxed when their food arrived. She kept her focus on her food rather than trying to pick another subject to talk about.
Her body was on edge but she notices that it was the good kind of anxiousness when she looked at the handsome man to her front. Bree was still skittish about Gage wanting to date her, but she wanted more, she craved for his kiss and their intimacy.
And that was exactly where she ended up after their dinner date. Bree only had two glasses of wine but her body hummed the second Gage took her to his bedroom after Mrs. Mancini left and the second Bree finished checking in on Hazel who was still sleeping soundly.
“I couldn’t stop undressing you in my mind the whole time we had dinner, baby… you’re so beautiful.” Gage whispered huskily as he pushed her flat against his bedroom door.
He groaned the second Bree moan in their kiss. His hands roamed her body, reaching behind and unzipping her dress and letting it fall to the floor revealing her lace underwear.
Bree felt brave, the wine gave her the courage to push Gage, making him walk backward until the back of his knees touch the end of his bed. She smirked and nudged him until he fell onto his bed, legs hanging, thighs parted, while Bree standing between them.
Gage let out the sexiest low rumble of laughter when she dropped herself on top of his fully clothed body playfully. “Fuck… Bree, you’re so fucking sexy, baby…” his hand reached back to the nape of her neck and she shuddered, feeling his thumb rub her sensually while he deepened their kiss in such vigor that she can feel herself getting wet.
“You’re wearing too many clothes for this.” She said from between her kisses while her fingers start unbuttoning his shirt, then down to unbuckle his belt then strip him of his trousers. It didn’t take long until Gage was down to his boxers and she bite her lip looking at his perfect figure.
“Gorgeous.” She gushed then blushed, realizing that Gage had heard her.
“Why thank you, you’re not too shabby yourself.” His comeback earned him her giggle and it somehow reached his insides. His chest was heavy with feelings that made him grab her by the waist and lay her on her back.
“Gage…” his name left her sexy lips in such a needy moan making him instantly hard. His dick twitched, throbbing the second he discarded her panties. The man reached for a condom from his side table. He covered himself swiftly and slowly pushed inside her.
“Damn baby, so… tight.” He struggled to control himself, not wanting to push too fast. Gage knew that he was big, but he still didn’t expect her to be so tight. His mind wondered when was the last time she had sex.
“Are you okay?” he asked worriedly, not wanting to hurt her.
“I’m good, so good, it’s been too long. Please… I can take it, Gage… please…” she whimpered under him and he followed her demand and picked up his pace and shower her with his kisses to drown her moans knowing Hazel was still sleeping in the other room.
Her slim legs wrapped around his waist and she let him push harder and faster, while she digs her nails deeper onto his strong back feeling his muscles rippling, moving with each thrust until she finally climaxed. Then Gage grabbed her thighs keeping her still as he kneels and pushed deeper while she clenched her insides, still pulsating from her orgasm while he made her climax again together with him.
Her blush was creeping from her chest up to the cheeks and Gage was so sated from his climax that he pumped himself a couple of more times filling the condom until his dick was spent and pulled out easily from her.
“Beautiful.” He pulled her onto his chest after he threw the soiled condom into the bin and she nuzzled in deeper, yearning for their closeness.
It was the first time in years that Bree felt relaxed, she was content in another man’s arm and she started to feel maybe, just maybe it was her time, the time where her luck would change.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Anyone can hope, she thought. Even her.
