It was evening time and Tess was still moping around her house watching lifetime television about a crazy stalker guy obsessed with some girl. When a knock came on the door. 'Maybe if I'm real quiet they'll just leave.' The knock got louder. Swinging the door open in an aggravated voice. "WHAT?!" He looked at her up and down even as a mess she's still so beautiful. "Gage what are you doing here?" hand still on the door as she was just in a black skirt with a match tank top her hair was a wreck in a bun falling out everywhere. "It's Saturday we have a date tonight. If you would have checked your phone of any of the hundred messages or calls I sent you would know I was still coming." Sounding a little more sarcastic then he meant to.
Looking at him was like a dream he's actually here in front of her after she was such a bitch. "Come on get ready I'll wait out here. Get comfortable shoes on because we are walking." "You still want to do this. Maybe we should I don't know talk first?" Trying to no sound hurt or like she's been wallowing in self-pity. "OH! You can bet that sweet ass of yours we going to talk but I'm very much more in this then you given me credit for baby." He told her in that sexy raspy deep voice she adored. "Come on now, lets get moving. "Where we going?" "In the woods get comfy shoes let's go." "You know you could just kill me here no need to go out of your way." Making both of them stare at each other and bust out laughing.
Less then a minute she had her door locked and they were on the trail he mad earlier with flowers on both sides just for her. Until they came upon a little pop up tent with a make shift bed fairy lights every where and a basket with food. "You did this for me? After I was such a bitch to you?" Looking in awe at everything around them. "You were not a bitch to me. It only seemed fitting after I ruined the perfect night you gave to me. Of course you can't take a picture with Mark Hamill, or Harrison Ford out here so maybe not as luxurious." Teasing her pouring her a glass of cherry coke one of her favorite drinks.
"Before we get into the basket of food and treats here. I want to talk first and get this cleared up. I'm sorry for the actions I did leading up to me pushing you away. I guess deep down I was nervous and scared and everything just came at me all at once. I meant what I said about wanting to wait until you know were an actual item before going further. I should have said it way better than I did. Nothing with you or us will ever be a mistake other than letting you walk away from in the middle of the night. I'm warning you now that will never happen again I don't care how mad you are at me. This town is not safe. I shouldn't have been ashamed to admit that I was a virgin to you and I shouldn't have let it control my attitude the way it did. You didn't deserve for me to lash out like that. I'm sorry you shared something intimate with me about your past and I didn't give you the comfort you needed. That must have been hard."
Taking her hand in his. "I'm so sorry Tess. None of that came about the way I was hoping for." "Gage honestly I over reacted. You don't need to apologize to me. I shouldn't have responded the way I did. I should have just respected your wishes when you were putting them out there, which I know had to be hard enough as it was. You know I don't judge you in any way. Right?" "Yeah I know." "I'm even more sorry that I walked away angry like that." "I know things got ugly real quick. I know sometimes we may need to give each other chance to breath if we get worked up like that again. Another thing that might help us is to remember that it is not us against each other, it's us against the problem." "I like that. So is this over to where ewe can move past this?" She was nervous to ask.
"I have been planning to this date for awhile so I'd really like that. Also I hope you're ok with sandwiches because I can barbeque but I can't cook that well." Gage said pulling out two sub sandwiches, chips, grapes, and chocolate covered strawberries. "This is wonderful. I'm grateful for any effort you put in to make a good time for us. This is really good." She mumbled happily eating food As the sun finally set and the darkness surrounded them they were so lost in conversation the last two hours he almost forgot why he brought her here. "I actually brought you out for a different reason tonight Tess." He told catching her attention as they cleaned all their trash up. "Alright." Sitting back down on the log under the fairy lights.
Wiping his sweaty palms on his pants as he sat down catching his breath and keep calm. "Tess I've been having the best time with you. I like who I am with you. I miss you when you're not around. I found out how much I was missing in life when we started seeing each other. I never thought walking into a simple annoying club would help me find the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I know it's only going to get better in time. Tessenia I want to be you girlfriend, and I want you to boyfriend. Ah shit wait that's wrong I." "Gage." "Yeah." He asked sadly feeling like a let down. "This is one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me. I know when I wake up in the morning I will be the happiest girlfriend in the world because I will yours." Taking her hands to cup his cheeks to kiss him deeply.
"If it's not too late would you like to head back and watch a movie at my place?" "Y-yeah sounds. Yeah." Gage was so drunk on her he was just trying to calm back down. Being the most excited he's ever been. "Are you ok." They just got into her house cuddling on the couch. "I'm just really happy I never thought I would be able to be in place like this with someone as amazing as you. Lifting her chin placing a kiss to her each of her cheeks and her lips. "Well there is one thing I need to warn you about before we can be like public about it." "What do you mean?" Moving back a little. "Well like I mean we can tell our friends but I know how this is going to sound but I promised my dad that you would meet him before we got you know labeled." "You want me to meet your dad?" Shocked yet kind of happy knowing how important that man is to Tess.
"Yeah." Sighing heavily. "Well that sounds normal. How about you meet mine too?" Gage was actually happy everything feeling so real. "Well we could start with my dad there is a special gala this weekend and I would like to be able to introduce you as my man around there. Oh you can meet a few of my other friends coming in to town. They are partners with the company." "Really what branches?" Gage asked Jaxon already warned him so might as well learn a little more about where they at least come from. "Well Dimitri and Elijah are from Russia. Antonio or Tony and Eric are from Italy." Placing her drink down. "Well you are the popular one." "OK let me know if its too soon but my dad I always have dinner on Sundays would you like to come over and meet him?" Playing with her fingers looking up to him.
"You know what yeah I can do that." Gage told rubbing the back of his neck a little nervously. "Are you sure we could push it back." "No, it's really ok. I would like to be able to an open couple for your party next week, no need to push back the inevitable. It's ok really." "Well the guys will be there too if that helps." Gage just nodded and smiled. "You don't how much this really means to me Gage thank you." Kissing him deeply. "You know we could still have some fun without pushing too far." "What do you mean?" "Do you trust me?" "More than anything." Kissing him again making her way slowly to his neck. Unbuttoning his shirt and taking hers off. Getting down on her knees. Reaching for his belt she looked back up silently asking for permission.
"What are y-you doing babe?" "Just wanted to show you how sorry I really am. Just showing my appreciation for you. Is this ok?" Her beautiful eyes pierced his very soul the only thing he could do was nod. "Words baby." She warned him. "Y-y—yes." He go out above a whisper. He's had a blow job before he's not completely innocent but never had one felt this way. Never had he not been able to take his eyes away from the woman who is slowing taking over every inch of his heart and soul. Undoing his jeans as he helped her slid them off. He didn't even know when his boxer left his body. All he knew was he could stare at her and her perfect breast in that black lacy bra forever. She truly was beautiful. There were some scars but that just showed him how much stronger she really is.
Taking her hand and slowly rubbing up and down his shaft. Gage was bigger than what she was used to fooling round with. After taking it painfully slow rubbing on his aching rod she brought her lips down to his tip. Swirling her tongue around his tip like her favorite lollipop. Listening to the sound of him hissing when she used that tongue to sweep over certain spot over slowly over again and again. His hips would lift a little as she pushed him back down. He had no control and she knew it. She owned him this very moment and she was going to show him what it meant to be her man.
In one quick motion she had hollowed her mouth taking him all the way in he was touching throat she swore and still wasn't all the way in. Using her hand to pump anything left. Her tongue still rubbing and push against the veins. Gage's head tossed back eyes flew open in shock of the pleasure he was receiving. Never feeling this way. This was so not the way he thought this night would be going after Thursday. He thought she would slam the door in his face tonight, not slamming his dick in her throat. Her head moving up and down. Her beautiful full breast bouncing in a slight graceful way from the heaving she was doing trying to breath through her nose.
Her hand twisting in every right way. The vixen in front of him teased him this way for twenty minutes the longer she went cupping and tugging his balls. The more he was about to cum. She knew he was getting close and she stopped, Eyes with tears in them looking like angel. He stopped to check her over. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine baby." Then she went back to her tortuous task when he got even closer this time she pulled back. Starting to feel pain from being denied his release his eyes were starting to water. "Why you doing this to me baby girl." Gage whined out.
"Do you want to cum baby?" She purred to him in his ear slowly nibbling on his lobe and then coming down sucking on his neck while still rubbing his shaft up and down. "Yes angel I do." "Do you need to cum?" "YESSS I do." He hissed his hips moving along with her strokes. "Can anyone else make you feel this good?" Taking him in swirling his tip in and out of her mouth her tongue working it over. "No, Tessa only you baby." "Beg for it baby, tell your woman what you need her to do." "I need to cum baby please. Please!" "When you bust I want you to bust all over me baby. Don't release in my mouth or you will be punished. Do you understand. You tell me to open my mouth and shoot anywhere you please." She told him rubbing his dick across her soft breasts.
How he could fuck the shit out of her tits lots in his own dirty thoughts brought back to reality by her question. "Do you understand?" "Yes baby girl." The second she heard what she wanted she went back down and start working him in her mouth in a whole new way making Gage feel like his very soul would soon be leaving his body. As his body and legs started to shake he was on the edge. "Give it to me Gage." She moaned out. That did it for him that was the only push he needed. "Open wide baby here it comes." Sticking her tongue out he grabbed a hold of it stroked it about three times as his hips was lifted off the couch as he blew his load all over her mouth down to her heaving chest. She took her thumb, middle finger and index finger as she rubbed and massaged the head of his penis with just those three and licked it again in between . Before he knew what was happening the over stimulation had him cumming even harder on her this time. He was shooting his white ribbon for a good five minutes.
"I never. I never knew. I could do that." Gage said in between breaths. "Let me go get you're a towel or something babe." He tried to get up his legs were shaking so bad. "Can you? It's fine I got it." Laughing to him coming back with a rag to help him clean up as well. Giving him a cold bottle of water. Smashing his lips to hers in a heated make out session on the couch she grinded into him for a minute. Making him laugh to her. Oh babe please don't do that it's sensitive as fuck right now." He moaned to her. Smiling and giggling to him. "Well now I don't know why it would be like that." "Sure you don't', you damn demon." He smirked to her pushing her hair back behind her ear. "I am no a demon." "You sure about that, because you sure sucked my soul right there." Playfully hitting his chest. Watching the movie both drifted off asleep cuddle and spooning on the couch.
Waking up Sunday he left after having some coffee. Running errands before he was going to pick her up tonight to go meet her father. Picking up the phone she held her breath. 'There's my flower now. How are you baby girl?' 'I'm good papa how are you? What are you doing?' 'I am at the range in the warehouse with your Tio's. The men miss you little one you need to come soon.' 'I will I promise. I was actually calling about dinner tonight is at home?' 'Yes it is.' 'I'm bringing a guest tonight.' 'Alright any friend of yours love is always welcomed. I have to go see you at five.' Angelo hung up the phone. It wasn't uncommon for her to bring awork friend or someone to dinner at her dads. It was uncommon for her to bring a date. Hopefully everyone will have the guns put somewhere else for the evening.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pulling up and helping Tess out of his truck she was in a nice sun white sundress. Xavier was in a nice dark grey button down and dark washed jeans. "Are you sure I'm dressed ok? This place looks like super fucking fancy. I really don't' want to leave a bad impression. I'm a little nervous. Never done nothing like this before." "What meet people? Eat dinner?" Teasing him. "You always got jokes man." Shaking his chuckling. "I never met a girlfriends parents. I know how important he is to you Tess. I really want to get along with him, knowing how much it means to you. You can't hide it Tess I can see straight through you." Knowing he was right. He could read her better than anyone even Angelo although she wouldn't tell anyone that.
"You look great. Just be yourself my dad is like me a human lie detector like me he'll know if your bullshitting him. He has a very demand presence just breath you will be fine." Taking his hand and walking straight through the front door. Some of the maids and the gardener all dropping things in shock to see Tessa smiling holding the hand of a man. Waving at the staff and looking at the shattered glasses that Gage had helped clean up they were taken back even more clearly he wasn't in the mafia line of work and was a real sweet heart.
"Lead the way angel." "That is actually one of my nicknames through the family along with flower. Just heads up." "Good to know." Nodding to her. As they walked into the dinning room he noticed two older men one at the head of the table talking to the one at his left side. There was also Dre', Hunter, and Jaxon. All three of his friends looked up and smiled to them. "Oh shit." Jaxon said a little too loudly. Angelo and Eddie turning their heads with their mouths hanging open in shock. "Dad, Tio Eddie this is my date Gage Brooks. Gage I would like you to meet my Tio Eddie, and my Dad Angelo. Guys you all know Gage." "Hey man." "Good to see you bro." "This is just such a good night." Dre' was the last one as the other two nodded their heads to them.
Walking over to shake their hands, the state of shock still apparent until she kissed their cheeks. Jaxon took his plate and scooted down a chair so Gage could sit next to Tess at her fathers right side. Pulling out her chair and helping her in taking his place beside her. "When you said you were bringing someone you could have prepared me a little more don't you think my little flower." "Ruin the look on your face and have you have time to prepare for this I think not." She told him back knowing there would be a lot more weapons lying around.
"Gage is it? Why is your name so familiar?" Angelo felt lost. "Well boss, if you remember this is the guy you choose to be the new security and resource project manager for The Dark Rose." Jaxon told him as calmly as he could even though on the inside all the guys were loving this. Watching their poor friend squirm in front of their uncle. Meanwhile not knowing who he really is. It always was interesting to watch too bad there was no popcorn to go along with the baked chicken breast and roasted vegetables, and pasta noodles. "Ah yes that's right. You know I looked over two hundred people for that position, but I must admit your work is what I was most impress by. I love that you have enough back bone to check our partners. They need some reminding every now and then that they are the partners that need us not the other way around. People get to cocky when they get a taste of power I tell yeah. Forget their own place sometimes." "You own The Dark Rose?" Gage was left in shock.
"Well yeah. Well for a few more months and then my little angel here is taking it off her ol man's hands." Angelo told him smiling brightly to his daughter who returned the smile. "Didn't she tell you that" Eddie asked him confused. "No, she left that out." "I was going to tell you Thursday but well you know how things pop up." "It's ok I understand. It's not a big deal I get it." Gage told her. Making her feel better and worse at the same time. "Do you? Do you really understand why she would without a secret like that?" Angelo asked him entangling his hands together and putting them under his jaw.
"Yes sir I do. We've been seeing each other for just a little over a month. Even though we see and talk a lot in this time. We both get a little anxious when we have to bring up jobs or family business. Neither of us has a whole lot of good in the dating area once things like that is found out. Things are going great between us and neither one of us wants to do anything to mess this up. It's ok if she has things she needs to keep to herself for a while. I believe in time as we grow she will tell me when she's ready. I trust her." Gage told Angelo eyes never leaving his only to smile at Tess. Being taking back a few steps it was one of the few times she could actually feel her heart beat in her chest.
"That's a very considerate answer. You are a little wiser beyond your years aren't you boy." "I don't know about that now. I just want to be opened and honest. Not waste anyone's time with lies." "That's a smart move boy." Eddie told him flatly with a smirk. Dinner went by quickly as Angelo tried to ask light questions through out dinner. "Gage I would like to you in my office. Privately." "Daddy." "No, Tess it's ok. Go hang out with your friends and catch up." Kissing her on the forehead. "This way son." Angelo went walking down the hall. "I was really starting to like him too." Hunter said popping up out of no where beside her. Making her hit him and chase him out of the hall.
Shutting the door behind them. "Have a seat." Gage did right across from the huge desk. "You have a lovely home." "Thank you. It's been filled with love and laughter since the day I brought my angel home. Which she has informed you know about." "Yeah, I do that was a hard day on her. I felt helpless watching have a panic attack from memories I can't protect from." Gage was shocked by the honesty coming from him. "Yeah you and me both kid." Angelo said taking in a deep breath.
"Thank you for handling it as delicately as you did. No a lot of men would stick around after knowing information like that. Not up to their standards so to speak." "Well my mom may have born with a silver spoon in her mouth and that life. My father however his brother and him were not. They were actually raised in the same orphanage as Tessenia was. My parents love me greatly sir but that doesn't mean that I didn't work hard for everything I have now. I made my own way." "I know that Gage I have the proof a few years of it. All the schooling you did, all the hard work you been doing through the years don't forget who gave you a job boy." Angelo told him with a chuckle.
"I gave that woman in there everything of mine all the way down to her damn name. I need to make sure she gets a man who's willing to do the same. Can you do that Gage? Can you be the strong man she needs when times comes like those panic attacks? Can you be her pillar when she needs strength to stand? Can you help be light in a dark tunnel? Can you put her back together the pieces of a shattered soul when she needs to fall apart? My daughter is hell bent and strong. The problem with all that strength is here is never a resting period for her to jus be herself. I need to know if your going to be able to provide for her everything she will need that money can't buy. Can you provide for her the way a real man needs to provide for their woman? Can you help feed her and nurture her when she's sick. Keep a roof over her head. Can you give trust and loyalty to only her. Help her smile when she's feeling low. These are the things I consider providing and being a man. Do you think you can do these things for and to her Gage I want an honest answer because if you can't you walk out that door now and you don't come back. Your job will still be there for you. My Tessenia is not a toy to be played with and I'll be damned if I let anyone get or break my baby do you understand me Gage?"
"I can see why she admires you so much. She is so much like you. You see sir it's times like this where I think I need her more then she needs me. There aren't a lot of people like us in the world sir. Who don't put money before everything. This town is very driven sir and it's driven in the wrong way. You see it's not Tessa's side of town that's the wrong tracks of Bell Brook it's my mother's side. Where all they care about is what someone can do for them. Pushing their children to people with money. You only care about the well being of your kid. It's not very often I see people treat their daughter in this way. I respect and admire you as for it. I can't guarantee I will do or say the right things when I am needed or expected to say them. I will mess up so many times. Then make it worse by trying to fix it and fail. I will need help from you from time to time because sir honestly I don't know what the hell I am doing this is my first relationship ever. No one ever shows me interest unless they want to use me. I will need all the help I can get some days. All I can do is promise I will always be there for her and protect her the best I can. I will appreciate her for who she is. I will cherish her and all the happiness she brings me. I'll do my best to make her happy. That's all I know to do know sir. I will be whatever she wants me to be whenever she needs me to be it. I asked her to with me exclusively last night. Just want to be honest with you Mr. Moretti." "Angelo you only call me that nothing else." "I really want us to get along Angelo I know how much she loves you and looks up to you I just want what's best for her. I know she would be happy if we could get along." Gage took a big gulp now that it was all out there.
"I assumed she agreed to be with you otherwise we would not be here right now. You know what Gage. I like you. I can read people very well. I like you. I think we will be fine. Put your number in my phone. You can be with my daughter. I give you my blessing. If you need anything you call me. She can be feisty as fuck." They both laughed hard where tears came to their eyes. "You know Gage you may go down this road and find out things that could change everything forever I only ask when that time comes to really, really think everything through. Give yourself time to think it through before you make any decisions. Can you promised me that. That and to take care of my kid the best you can." "I promise." "Don't' shake unless you mean it. A deal with me, can't be undone." Angelo told him as Eddie walked in to witness it. Shaking his hand tightly. "I swear to you Angelo I promise." Gage said smiling to him.
After dropping a very relieved Tessa off at home he walked into his house where his three best friends waiting to hear all about it. As they helped picked his outfit and built his confidence up to leave in the first place. After they left happy for him he couldn't help but feel like he had everything and it was ok. Everything would be alright he only need to get through one more hurdle the darkest monster of all. His mother.
