“Coming.”

We pull into his driveway just after nine, and he helps me out of the car. I hobble inside as he holds my hand. Mark is watering the garden as we walk past.

“Good morning,” he calls.

“Not really,” Gabriel mutters as we walk past.

“School morning not running so smoothly, big daddy?” Mark’s eyes dance with mischief.

“Fuck off,” Gabriel replies.

Oh…Mark’s a smart-ass.

I’ve never seen this dynamic between them before.

I like it.

“I’m in meetings all day,” Gabriel tells him. “Can you help Grace again today, please.”

“For sure.”

“And . . .”

“I know, no touching her.” Mark cuts him off.

Gabriel curls his lip and I laugh. Mark winks cheekily at me.

I hobble inside and Gabriel sets me up on the couch and gives me the remote. “Text me if you need anything.” He kisses me softly, his lips lingering over mine.

“Okay,” I breathe up against him.

Without another word, he strides down the hall and his office door closes. I smile at the television.

Who is he kidding, this morning was kind of perfect.

1:30 p.m. and boredom has set in.

I’ve watched television, I’ve scrolled on my phone, I’ve even played solitaire.

Mark is out in the back garden doing something. I’m going to go for a walk. I hobble down the hall and slowly open Gabriel’s office door. He’s on a Zoom. “Yes, that’s right,” he says as his eyes rise up to me. He flicks his camera off and pats his knee.

I don’t know who he’s in a meeting with, but there are a few different voices. I frown in question and he pats his knee again.

“I like that strategy,” he says. “Let’s go with that.”

I quietly hobble over and sit on his knee; his lips immediately find mine as his hand runs up my thigh under my dress.

He kisses me, his tongue slowly sliding between my lips as my eyes close.

The voices keep on talking in the background, but all I can focus on is him…and his hand as it slides down my panties.

His eyes flutter as he feels how wet I am, the urgency in his kiss strengthens.

“I do wonder what the percentage of loss would be if we went down that route,” someone says.

He pushes his thick finger inside of me and I clench around him. He gives me a slow sexy smile and adds another finger and begins to fuck me with them.

Slow and measured pumps as my body sucks him in.
