Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Gage's Serenade

Since Saturday she has only slept about an hour a night. Skipping dinner at her fathers house on Sunday taking a plane to the Canada as to help settle with some of the details of the deals and construction problems they had going on she would be flying back by Tuesday and back in the office by Wednesday. Maybe. Lincoln and Jaxon by her side, while the other two held down the fort at the office. Both men being gentle around her knowing how she gets when she is mad. However none of them knew how to respond when she was hurt. Never thought it would happen before. Never once in their lifetime have they ever heard of or seen her with actually emotions. Her having them to begin with was thought to be myth like big foot and the Loch Ness monster personally they liked their chances with good ol' Sasquatch, and Nessie there.

"Maybe it's not as bad as it seems." Lincoln threw out in the open of silence trying to help. As Jaxon raised his head in a smile to the guy. While Tessa looked at him like he would burst into flames." "Hear me out, before you shoot me first." Lincoln said with his hands up quickly. "I value you Lincoln you know this by now go ahead and speak your peace. I won't shoot at you…yet." Taking a deep breath. "I think maybe taking the situation into seeing it from both sides point of view is important when faced with a problems like this. You have every right to be as mad as you are. After all the warnings he gave you bout his families side and such. However the whole time he gave you those warning he made it clear he was nothing like that. Gage doesn't think that way, nor does his father. After spending time with Sean you should know that right? If you bond with Gage this whole time you already know if he was putting in the effort already than who you were will make no difference as long as you are still who you are." Looking at her nervously before continuing on with his point.

"Looking form Gages point of view he has been used and played with more than an Xbox and Legos boss. There is only so much a human heart can handle before it gives up. Than all of a sudden this woman pops up making him feel like an actual person. No one understands how hard it is for us men man, like no one. We never know if a woman is hitting on us for real or to use us for free drinks, food, stuff? Are we just someone they are using to get someone else jealous or filling up their time until the guy they really want is free. Do they want us to get ahead by some job title, family name title. Are they getting close to us to get closer to either someone in our family or worse friends. This stuff happened all the time with him. You have to understand how scared he might have been getting ready for his first like real honest date. How hard it must have been to put himself out there in fear of being used all over again. Something wonderful happening to him, and it would be like fake for all the wrong reasons." Lincoln told her as he stepped out of the swinging zone.

Jaxon admired Lincoln words of wisdom and he really liked Gage so he knew he had to help out. "Tessenia you have every right to be mad and make the man suffer. Lincolns right though. You are around nothing but mainly men you know he right too. You see it all the time for yourself. You went through all this awkward stuff with Gage because he don't know how the fuck to feel or do about any of it but he's always trying his best. His learning. You said yourself that file didn't have shit really in it that wasn't already what we made public knowledge. Hell we the reason its so short in the first place with our hackers. You two still got to know each other on your own terms. In your own way. You are right to be mad but maybe over reacting just a little bit. He still in the dog house but come on you know he out there feeling like crap right now. You can't punish him anymore than he is doing to himself." Walking into their hotel room after the long meetings.

"Give him a raise. Check in on everything else both of you and leave me alone for the rest of the night." Tessa told them flatly. Going in her room sitting down after a long shower. Thinking everything over. Coming to terms with wondering if he would leave her when finds out the truth. She tried so hard to tell him. Looking at their happy pictures on her phone crying silently to herself. Body shaking a little. The feelings she had for him were unlike anything she's ever known or read. The only thing she knew was she loved him enough to get through things together. Still being mad though it would be best to talk to him in person. What he did was not right. What she was doing now was worse. Trying her best she knew she had to hurry up and get herself together she only had one more day until she knew he'd find her. Turning off her phone and ignoring the texts and calls from him, her dad and the world around her. Just for one night she would be vulnerable. Give in to her heart ache and just be alone with herself. Tomorrow she can go back to being the beast, the Dark Angel that gave the world nightmares, yet still sleep in peace at the same time.

Placing the file on her desk with a sweet tea, chocolate muffin, raspberry glazed filled donut. Hoping it would pull on her heart string he even sprayed his cologne around her desk lightly to smell him around her hoping to play with idea of smell to memory. Hoping it would be the good memories. Looking at the time he knew she would be here soon. Leaving a card folded next to her drink. Leaving quickly. He wasn't sure how Kane got him in her locked office but no one was going to explain it later anyway. All lips sealed on that one. Returning to his office. Axel knocked on the door. "Just confirmed it the deliveries are set. Good luck bro." Walking away still on his phone, taking a deep breath. 'Yeah, I need it.'

Getting straight into her office today she simply smiled at everyone wishing her a good day nodding to them. Over sleeping and running a little later than she wanted to. She started to show her truly feelings of tiredness and dragging herself to her office. Lincoln came right next to her getting ready to go in his which was down a little ways in an open area so her could greet anyone coming in. There were two men as security guards at both sides of both elevators and the stair case. "Pirke up Beast. You never know you day might just pick up." "Yeah, I guess it will after I find a decent way to apologize for being such a bitch." She mumbled.

"You were not being a bitch. You for the most part were very reasonable. Don't apologize too much you weren't really that much in the wrong in the first place." Lincoln told her pointing his finger at her. "Thanks Linc." Nodding his head they both went their separate ways. Opening the door to see some flower petals on her desk with her bag of treats, a drink, a note, and an odd-looking thick file. Looking down she saw the note. Folded. 'I'm sorry for hurting you. This in no way makes up for it. I know you said you wouldn't read a file on me but I worked hard on this and so did others, please read it. Love Gage.' The file was huge he knew she had an empire to run right? Deciding o set it aside and get some actual work done she left the seal unbroken and set it aside. 'Maybe by lunch time I'll read it.'

An hour later a man came from edible arrangements came into her office with a big arrangement of regular and chocolate dipped strawberries. The kind the had when he asked her out officially. The card was a picture of Yoda 'Sorry I am. Heartache I feel. Miss you I do.' Making her laugh hard spitting her drink out. 'It was a good night, well the first half with the star wars movie it was anyway.' Attached was a picture of him kissing her cheek while her eyes were looking almost at the camera. Those eyes had such a sparkle so full of life. They looked great. Shaking her head. An hour after that A flower deliver guy came. With multicolored roses same colors used when they rolled around the whole weekend for the first. The first night he told her or any woman he loved her. The first time she was ready to give up her home on the side of town where she came from, bled from.

"Wow! You know for a guy who's never had a woman before he is just so good at this." Hunter told her grabbing a strawberry. "I swear I can feel like he's next to me he keeps coming into me head Hunter." "That's because it smells like him. Not asking for judgement but the man smells great no homo." Hunter said hands up before he grabbed another strawberry. Making her laugh at him. "Yeah he does." Having to squeeze her thighs together for a minute. 'What is it about a good smelling man that drives us women wild with need. "Have you seen him yet. It's almost lunch time." "No, I haven't I'm staying her for lunch with my cell phone on silent. Thanks for the files." "You didn't read this yet?" Hunter asked looking at the file Gage left her.

"I was thinking of reading it around or after lunch I'm swamped right now, almost done though. Now get back to work and help your little sister, before I tell Tio Eddie you being lazy." "Don't you put that damn evil on me. I'll call Tio Angie and tell him your being mean to Gage." "I'm his baby you think he'll take his side?" "Yes I do. Do you really believe he'll take your side after spending so much time with Gage? Hell besides you he's the only other man besides us on our birthdays that he said he was proud of. AND MS. THING he still showed up for breakfast and dinner on Sunday! Who's in who's goo graces now?!" Hunter stuck his tongue at her walking away.

Her heart fluttered, stopped and started beating again. 'He went and face papa, twice, after dad knew what he hurt me. He still went to him. That's sweet, brave and stupid. Maybe he was good at punishing himself more than I could. He still going to get punished though alright.' When one came around the was a delivery form her favorite place the Chinese restaurant about thirty minutes away. With a note. 'I know how busy you are baby, but you still need to eat and take care of yourself.' That's when she felt the most loved today the simple everyday gesture to take care of her when she wasn't doing so herself. After finish the last file she pushed the other work aside. Picking up the file opening it up it was full of information.

Basic knowledge like how hers was on the front except more details about him and even his parents. Than after all that ended it gave her a description about what school and growing up was like the people he meet good and bad. What happened to him on prom night. It all made more sense to her now. It was so much more past the emotional and mental pain he was afraid of he never wanted to be a victim in any other way shape or form. That she could relate to, that was something they will always have in common. After that was stories from his parents, Axel, Vince and Ace. Stories good, bad mostly the most embarrassing things they could think of. Also so many reasons why he was great guy. Ace included an apology to her that touched her heart. It wasn't something he was proud of now knowing her, but she knew how important these guys are to each other, not being able to blame him anymore and forgave him just this once.

Closing the file which took the rest of the day to read. Her heart started to tug again feeling so guilty I wonder how I will be able to make up for holding back information that could change his life. Hopefully I'm smarter than I think I am this was genius. She waited until three and left. Told Lincoln she was leaving she had enough for one day. Leaving all the things in her office. Expect the strawberries everyone cam in all day eating those. Dre' at over half her lunch the damn vulture now she was starving. Kane came up to Gage at the end of their shift which today ran later about four thirty.

Looking at him hopeful until he saw the sad slight smirk. "She left an hour and a half ago. Didn't say where she was going. Her phone is still on silent. Told Linc that she had enough for the day. Sorry man." "It's alright I'm still hopeful always tomorrow." Gage told him with a heavy sigh. Walking into his home with his heart heavy and sad his nose was quick to pick up the smell from the kitchen. His happy tummy knew that smell. Quickly he went straight there. Looking at her in a cute little white sundress hair pinned up by a plastic claw, dancing around barefoot singing to the radio cooking his favorite meal. Fried chicken, salad and coleslaw. Mashed potatoes and gravy, corn on the cob, Crescent rolls with a piece of cheese stick melted in the middle, roasted asparagus. A cheesecake that had mixed berry fruit on top and home-made turtle brownies. His mouth hung open everything looked wonderful sitting spread out across the table dishes were already done and caught up in the sink hell his house smelled clean and like her.

"What are you doing here?" He was so shocked to see her here. "I live here. At least I thought I did. I can go if you already changed you mind." She told him stepping back looking a little hurt by the question going for her phone and keys again on the counter top. Grabbing them before she could. "The hell you will. I didn't mean it like that. I been trying to get ahold of you. You screening my calls ghosting me. Not even leaving me on read, you have any idea what that's been doing to me? HUH?! I don't know where you are. If you alright. I know you aint sleeping right. I know you aint eating right. I know I hurt you emotionally, I don't know if your hurt physically. The imagination is an evil thing Tessa. I don't care how mad you are at me, you always let me know you are at least ok. That was worse than hell wondering if you having an attack somewhere and if anyone was around to help you." Gage was angry mostly just hurt and scared and that touched her a lot more than she thought it would.

"You knew I was fine I had Jaxon. You know Jaxon got more training with that shit than you do. I know Lincoln told you where I was. I know you know that. You're just hurt I didn't tell you. You're mad because I withheld that information from you. I'm sorry you were worried and in the future when I need a break I will inform you of my wellbeing. You are right though I didn't sleep or eat well I wanted to just do my job and come home. The Faster the better. How about we sit and eat before it gets cold I'm starving. Dre' ate over half my lunch and everyone ate my dessert." Gage laughed knowing it would happen. Helping her into her chair filling her drink with the sweet tea she made them. Filling his plate, it was sweet like an old married couple who's been doing this for years. It came so naturally. 'Man that would be the dream. Married to her, every night dinner like this maybe some kids and a dog running around. That's what real heaven would look like. Screw the roads of gold he just wanted a home and family with this beautiful woman. Every day to wake up to every night to hold nothing would be better than that.'

Once they were done he made her go take a shower and he finished the dishes he needed a moment to gather his thoughts. Turning around he saw the file he gave her in his bookshelf. "It was both thoughtful idea and inconsiderate seeing as a simple file is what drove me to be hurt in the first place don't you think?" She asked him walking in the living room. "It was a fifty-fifty shot, we both know I was already an ass. It was the only fair thing I could come up with. Once others knew it would be embarrassing for me they couldn't wait to pitch in. Especially mom and those naked baby pictures." "The naked toddler ones too." She laughed harder as he turned red shaking his head thinking he burnt all of them.

"Gage I'm sorry. Yes you did a bad thing. You were wrong in keeping it, you wrong for not telling me about it. You were wrong for not trusting in me enough in thinking I wouldn't tell you everything you wanted to know about me. You ask and I always gave you honest answer I don't think I ever gave you a reason not to trust me. I know I wasn't always from a high class family and by blood I never will be but by heart soul and name I think we both know by now I am as high up as you can reach." She mocked him making him laugh hard to her.

"I'm sorry though Gage because I did over react. I need you to know that I am not used to this either. I am learning as we go too. I never had these kind of issues before and stuff. I was young and only in one relationship with someone who knew everything about me. So this is new for me as well. I'm much more invested in this and I think you forget I don't really know what I'm doing either. See in my past I am known for never having feelings or emotions. You can ask anyone. This is why you get so many stares Gage. I don't smile, laugh, or care about anyone not family or working for me and even than it's no where near the level of happiness you bring to me. I'm sorry for over reacting and I promise I will try my best to get better at it my emotions."

"I know you weren't a big fan of being open with people, I didn't know what to extent. I now feel flattered, special and bad. I never meant to hurt you and I should have shredded it when I got it. I am sorry. I will always come to you and you only for anything I want or need to know about you Tessenia." Nodding her head to him. "Think its safe to say we both forgive each other?" He added scratching the back of his head holding her hand in his. "Well yes, you could say that. However, I think you still need to be punished." "P-p-punished how?" Gage was a little nervous. "Well your about to find out now aren't you." Looking at him with dark look. Gulping down nervously taking her hand and following her into their bedroom there was a chair in front of the bed a few feet away. With to special scarfs on the bed. And two little circles that looked a bit weird to him. A cup of ice was now set aside. Getting a little nervous he stood there shocked 'she had this planned and downed'.

"Strip down. Everything. Must. Go." She purred sweetly to him walking around him running a hand down his chest. Following her command he paused at his boxers looking at her. "Off." She told him with authority. This was a side of her he didn't know existed he was both aroused and scared at the commanding voice she held that had such a raw power it was meant to be followed. Taking them off and throwing his clothes into the hamper. "Sit." She told him looking at the chair. Getting each scarf and tying it in a certain way each arm just barely behind his hip bones towards his back. "This knot will not hurt you, it is so simple just one little tug here on each of the short strings and it will open. However until you pull it, it will be strong enough to hold you down until I grant you freedom from it." Whispering darkly in his ear making his dick twitch. "You may be built like a mountain but even men like you can't always reach everything. I want you to remember that for what comes next soon." Purring to him.

Swallowing hard looking to her he didn't have to look up in fact he still had to look down a little since she was still short. "I have missed you though baby. Have you missed me?" "Yes baby girl. You know I can't sleep without you next to me." "Good." Getting back down to her knees and slowly pumping him with his precum already leaking out his tip from excitement it was easy to do. "Excited already Gage?" She asked him taking the finger with a bit of the precum to her mouth and sucking it slowly humming to the taste. His eyes grew dark to her anxious in the anticipation of what this sexy siren could do to him at her will.

After pumping him for a few more strokes she took her tongue swirling it around his painfully hard dick. Keeping eye contact with him she quickly slid him all the way to her throat and hollowed her mouth her tongue pressing massaging the veins as she greedily sucked him for all he was worth. Gage's eyes rolling to the back of his head. "Eye's on me baby. Keep them there. I want you watching everything little thing I do to you. Don't. Look. Away." She warned him. As she started to pump what couldn't fit in her hand working him over between the sucking and the twist motion of her working his raging dick over. He couldn't help but close his eyes feeling like he was getting close. She knew he was as he was starting to tremble in his thighs. *Smack* "Whoa!" Looking down to her as she had smacked his balls that had an opening on the chair easier to reach and access.

"I told you eyes on me daddy. You don't want to be a bad boy now, you may not be able to handle the consequences. *Smack* She smacked his boys one more time making him his body twitched leaving him confused on how much that really turned him on. Never one for kinks but damn if this woman wasn't bringing them out of me. My woman. Lost in deep about to cum in her tight throat hole she stopped at once. Leaving him hanging off the edge of sanity a little out of breath looking down to her. Taking his shaft in her hand sinking lower licking his shaft from tip all the way down to his ball sack. She started to lick the lines that followed around them. His body twitching and moving at the stimulation. As she was working her tongue and mouth licking and sucking on his testicles she was still rubbing his tip with her three fingers massage, flicker and rubbing it over. Just as he was about to finally get that sweet release she stopped once again.

"Only good boys get to cum daddy." Placing a black circle about the size of his palm at the bottom of his chair she placed his testicles in the middle so they would feel the impact of it, making sure the flatter part of the little battery was place under the sack in the middle. Placing the other Black circle down to the base of his dick. "These my love are activated by this little control here in my hand. This one is a cock ring it vibrates around you dick, basically turning you into my prefect vibrator. This is the same thing kind of but it only stimulates your balls. You're completely at my command with this. Stripping her clothes off slowly as a strip tease. He was aching to touch her but the knot was stronger than he thought. Her bra was the last thing she removed and slowly ran his dick in between them.

Hopping on the bed in front of him, making sure to keep contact with him the whole time. Laying flat on her back in a tilted way with her legs propped up. "Tell me baby can you see everything?" "Y-yes." Licking his lips he could see he face, her beautiful swelled breast and her sweet center which was already starting to glisten just for him. Good she held the controller in her left hand. "This is what it feels like to have things you want just out of reach." Turning in up a bit so he could feel both little devices. Making him bounce a little at first and hum at the way it was working making every muscle between his dick and balls dance. Taking the hand that held the little remote she was starting to rub her chest. The right hand went all the way down and started rubbing in between her folds. He could see the sticky juices slipping out of her and on her hand.

"Eyes on me baby. I want you to see everything." Rubbing her clit slowly getting worked over by it she knew it wouldn't last long until she came being so worked up over him. "Do you like the view baby?" She asked in between a tight moan. "YES!" He shouted to her as she uped the speed on his device. "Tell me what you would do if you could touch me right now." "I would lick you chest." Looking at him she took her tongue and did just that. "Well don't keep me in suspense what would you do next tell until I tell you to stop." Gulping hard. It was so difficult as he was watching as she kept changing the speed and then would stop completely if he got close. "I would stick my finger in you tight little pussy and suck it in front of you." Doing just that she made sure to go slow to show him every. Single. Step. "I would take. Ugh. I would take y finger put it back in you. UGHHH then wipe it on your breasts." Trying to speak while his body was racking through the stimulations. His breath was getting ragged he wanted to rip through the damn scarves and thrust so deep into her she could feel him for the rest of the week walking. TO ouch that delicious body, but he couldn't. 'This is torture.'

Doing as his fantasies command. Once he waited to long to answer her with the next step she turned back up the device. Than down. Then up. "Don't leave your woman waiting now Gage." "I would stick two of my fingers back in you and used my thumb to stimulate your clit. UGHGHH TESS!" He hissed in pain as he was once again denied his release. She did just as he said she turned the device on a medium speed which he was thankful for except now he was getting a whole new show that was making it harder not to cum just from the scene in front of him.

"Faster. Faster baby girl work it over just like that. UGH fuck." He hissed again. "FUCK GAGE RIGHT THERE!" He watched her whole body come undone screaming for him. Shaking for him. His name leaving those sweet lips. She kept the devices on low Getting off the bed she came up to him and slowly lifted each leg so she was resting them on the chair her knees. Slowly rubbing her dripping wet core over the tip of hard on. The friction and the vibrations were taking him to a whole new level he didn't think was possible. "Will you ever you ever doubt me again?" She asked him in his ear still rubbing her center over him bringing him close but no entrance.

"No baby girl." He growled out eyes dark voice deep into a beast mode she knew all control was gone once that tie came undone. "Will you only come to me and believe me when I tell you the truth?" She moaned to him. "YES!" "Who's the only one who can do this to you daddy? Who's the only one who can love you the way I can?" "Tess, only. Ugh. Only you baby. Fuck baby please. Trying to catch his breath and keep it steady. "Please baby, I need. I need to touch you so bad. Please. I'm sorry. Baby please." He was growling to her making her drip even more on him and that only made it harder on him. "So beautiful when you beg daddy." One swift move and the scarfs were off.

Before the even touched the ground he had ahold of her hips slamming her with all he had on him. He was deep within her she knew she would be sore tomorrow. "FUCK GAGE!" He was showing her no mercy. Thrusting her into him meeting him a little as his hips were somewhat off the chair both devices still working their magic. As soon as eyes rolled to the back of her head. Feeling the cock ring vibrating against her clit as he kept he body pounding into him. "Oh no, no, no baby girl eyes on me. Remember I get to watch every. Little. Thing." Thrust harder and harder with her body. Withing seconds after that they both released at the same time for what Gage thought was never ending.

"That was so mean, cruel, tortuous, and beyond the hottest fucking thing that's ever happen to me." Gage told her as he stayed inside her standing up and placing her gently on the bed. "Stay there." Coming back with a rag he cleaned her up and she noticed he cleaned himself up to. 'He was right. He was big on the after care.' "We good now baby girl?" "Have you learned your lesson." "Yes, but I did before you drug my poor balls through that beautiful hell." Both laughing hard. "I've miss you and happy you're home." "Me too." Kissing her deeply. Refusing to let her put on anything but his shirt he covered them up and held her close to his chest. Finally getting the rest both hearts needed.
