It has been six weeks since Gage was released from the hospital. He received his result, his tumor was benign and his team of doctors had managed to take it all out. Now, he was struggling with his memory loss. His parents, especially his mom insisted on staying at his place for the first few weeks and even went far as taking Duke with her to let the dog give him more comfort in Gage's daily life.
Edith had read somewhere that a family pet can reduce stress from memory loss. Gage had been seeing his neuropsychologist, he had done a full evaluation for Gage's cognitive rehabilitation. He had endured a series of interviews and psychological tests, some his parents were there to take part and helped his neuropsychologist learn about his behavior before and after the tumor surgery.Gage would sometimes still have problems concentrating, and miraculously his brother Marvin had been stepping up to help him with his businesses. He has been very patient with his brother,"Gage?""Yeah, sorry Jade, please come in." Gage and Jade had been dancing around each other since the first day he was back working in his office at Babes. Not that Marvin hadn't been doing a good job there, but Gage needed to see some familiar faces in his environment and Jade was the person that he had felt most intimate with since his memory loss.Though Gage seemed reluctant to move forward with Jade, cause he didn't want to start something he knew he had ended before. That afternoon he finally called in Jade to find out why. Hopefully, she could tell him the reason they broke up, if not then he'll think of something else. These past couple of weeks Gage felt like he had done too much thinking.The dark-haired woman with decorative tattoos on several parts of her body gave him a smile before she took her seat in front of him. Gage decided to stay behind his desk, thinking he felt less awkward with some distance for their talk since he didn't
They both stay still not wanting to break the silent comfort, but Gage can only hold her for so long before things got uncomfortably awkward. "I have your number on my phone, can I call or text you later?""Yes," She said almost instantly making him smile warmly."Can I take you out for coffee, or maybe lunch?" Gage thought dinner will have to wait, coffee or lunch sounded safer. At least that was what the man thought."Of course," her smile grew wider, he could see she hesitated but he couldn't help but feel happy for both of them."Thank you, Bree, for giving me a second chance," "Thank you for wanting it," Bree said sweetly to him.Gage took her hand on his and rubbed her knuckles with his thumb, not sure about kissing her, though he did want to. Again it was another thing that he needed to wait for. Slowly, he thought, he was going to take it slow with her. The sparks of happiness he had minutes ago were
Bree was nervous when she was getting ready this morning. Mrs. Mancini was in the kitchen with Hazel baking cookies, trying to give the single mom the privacy that she needed. A couple of days after she found out about Gage's tumor, she had told the older woman about his condition. Bree cried on her shoulder and then both agreed to keep Hazel from the truth for the time being. Mrs. Mancini had sympathized with Bree and wished everything to go back as they were once before. That was why she came to keep Hazel busy when Bree told her that she was going for a coffee date with Gage. "You look nervous," Mrs. Mancini stated when Bree came out of her room in her comfiest pair of jeans and baby blue blouse. It was one of her favorite blouses, Gage had told her that she looked beautiful in it months ago and Bree wears it just because he said so."I am," she bit her lip while her eyes roamed their small living room, then she smiled when she sees Hazel s
"Gage!!" Hazel ran to the man and he instinctively scooped her up for a big hug. "I missed you! where have you been?!" her little hands wrapped around his neck and he smiled brightly at Bree."Hazel honey, why don't you take a seat, Gage is going to join us at the zoo but he would like to talk to you first." Bree ushered both of them to the living room then she followed Mrs. Mancini as she was headed out the door wanting to give the three of them privacy."oh-oh... was it because I asked you to be my daddy?"Bree took a deep breath and backed away when tears were threatening to roll down her cheeks. "It's okay Bree, believe in him, believe in yourself," her neighbor put her hand on Bree's shoulder, assuring her. "I'll be next door if you need anything, okay?""Thank you." She said putting a smile on her face and toughening herself up. Bree locked the front door after her neighbor, then join Hazel and Gage in the living room."Mommy! mommy
"I'm so nervous, this feels like our first date all over again." Bree shared her concerns with Dee and Cassidy over their afternoon coffee before they begin their shifts. "Think of it this way, you already knew what happened on your first date. He's the same man, so you have an advantage here. He'll most likely do the same thing on his previous date with you." Cassidy answered looking a bit smug with her conclusion. "You think you're so smart aren't you?" Dee retorted then smirked telling Bree that Cassidy was right. "Yeah, I guess, but still..." "Drink your coffee, honey, it'll be over soon and who knows you might get something sexy out of your first date," Dee added making Bree blush and Cassidy giggle. "Oh, shut up Cass," she slapped her arm playfully and continued to giggle. The girls made her feel better, she was more confident about her date than she was before. When she went back to her place after work, Bree spends time with
Gage got up when he heard knocking on the door, it took him seconds before he smiled and realized that he was still at Bree's and Rockford had probably headed back without him when Gage didn't come out of Bree's apartment hours later. Another knocking sound took him back to the present and Gage turned on the lamp on the side table then swiftly pulled on his pants and undershirt before telling Bree to sleep when she was about to wake up. "Sleep, I got this." He whispered and kissed her forehead and the woman smiled at him before she drifts off to sleep again. Gage had exhausted her, they had just fallen asleep maybe for an hour or two after all the sexual activities that they had. Bree needed her rest, she was probably going to be sore in the morning and the thought of that made him hurry himself to the door and closes the door behind him."Hazel, mommy is sleeping. Come on,""Gage," she pouted when it was not her mom who answered the door, but then giggle
Two months later Bree was falling all over again for Gage when the man told her that he loves her. He hadn't got his memories back but he was making new ones. They moved back into Gage's house and Hazel was over the moon when she got the princess bedroom, mermaid themed with dolphins giant stickers plastered all over her bedroom wall. Bree was happy, she was in love and Gage was where he wanted to be. Two weeks later she was by his side when he visited his doctor to do his routine check-up and once again he was declared clear of his tumor. Then later that same afternoon Gage got down on his knees and proposed to her in the privacy of his home with little Hazel as their witness."Bree, I love you, I love Hazel and I want to be a part of your future and Hazel's. I know I've put you at my worst and I can't promise that I won't make any more mistakes but I hope you will guide me back again. I love you, Bree, will you be my wife?"Bree's eyes were gl
Cassidy's one of the people who value self-worth. It was weird for someone who grew up with money where they value people based on their net worth. But her parents were not one of those rich snobs, Cassidy would remember them as the good philanthropists. Sadly her dad died from a sudden heart attack, then her mom followed not long after. They said it was because her love for him was so great that she lost her will to live. Though young Cassidy believed otherwise, her mom loved her children. It was just God's will.Cassidy was the oldest of three, her twin brothers Dillon and Edmond were still in private school. They live in a dormitory, fully paid from their parents' insurance money. Not long after her parents passing, Cassidy was left with her family finance to deal with. It didn't take long for her to decide to rent out their huge house since there was no way Cassidy wants to live there alone and not to mention the maintenance and the workers. At nineteen she was already
Seven months later...Dee seemed to remember on her wedding night when she said that she couldn't wait to welcome their baby into the world. But as she was in labor, all memory of the sweet dreamy thoughts of welcoming their baby was instantly gone. She was cursing and yelling, telling her Rocco that she was so ready to go home and sleep it off. "I have been having contractions for eight hours, don't tell me to fucking relax! And where is Rockford?! Is this baby not important enough for him to be present?! Give me the phone, Rocco! I said give me the damn PHONE!" Dee yelled and her husband winced. This was not expected.Dee had heard labor nightmares from her friends, but since she had a very chillax pregnancy, she'd assumed that the baby would give her easy labor too. And damn...she couldn't be more wrong. "Rockford, where are you? I need my husbands here! I am not delivering this baby without you! I don't fucking care you're in the middle of the desert. Get someone to airlift you
Dee never thought she'd have the wedding of her dreams. She was a stripper. She dated her bartender boyfriend for years without any indication that he was going to marry her. At some stage, Dee had given up on her dream and was satisfied with having Rocco as her boyfriend for life. Months back she even dreaded the thought that Rocco had lost interest in their romance, as they were seeking for a third. But when Rockford came and perfected their relationship she dared to dream again. Fast forward her life two months later, she was putting on her wedding dress. Dee was four months pregnant. She was showing the cutest baby bump, but there she was in a beautiful wedding dress, looking perfect for their wedding reception.A few hours earlier she and Rocco had been declared as a husband and wife in the city hall. Rockford was there, and also her besties from Babes while their newer friends were waiting for their union, all three of them at the Markov Mansion.Bree, Charlotte, Cassidy, and
Being with Rocco had been great. Dee loved him. She had always been happy with him. But that Saturday afternoon in front of Rocco's parents' house, Dee was on the verge of panic. She was pregnant and involved with two men. What would Rocco's parents think of her?"Dee, are you okay? You look pale?" Rocco asked from the passenger seat while Rockford parked his shiny new black SUV that he got from his new employment. She could see Rockford's smug smile from the rearview mirror as if he knew exactly why she was nervous."Everything will be okay, Dee. They're the perfect set of parents and they know about our triad. It'll be only time until one of us puts a baby in you." Dee huffed and rested her back on her seat, her cute pout made the big man laugh even louder.As soon as Rockford proposed, Dee had been in a happy bliss. She was cherished by her two men. But in a matter of minutes, they were going to enter Rocco's family house. This was day three after Rockford had asked her and Rocco t
Rockford was frustrated. He thought they were happy. He figured that he could handle being in a relationship with the two of the people that he loved. Dee was great, she was doing good things with her time after she stopped dancing at Babes. He had also thought Rocco was doing great. The man was supposed to go to his parents. Rocco was telling both him and Dee that he was mending the time he lost with his parents. Now, he knew that Rocco had spent those couple of times a week in a motel, alone, trying to fight his depression with his pills. Fuck! How did it get to this? Rocco was a sweet, gorgeous man, who they both adored very much. When Becca advised Rockford to put their man on a twenty-four-hour hold at the clinic he instantly told her no. He was going to take care of their man and he was going to take him home and get to the bottom of their issues. The issues that Rockford was not aware they even had.He agreed to take Rocco to his doctor the next day and was ready to be up al
"Where's Dee?" Rocco heard his boyfriend ask the moment he was back from his late-night meetings with his new crew."She's having a sleepover with her Babes women. Bree was giving her a farewell party." Yes. Rocco was happy that Dee decided to quit dancing at Babes. Rockford had made sure that he was going to provide for them, but Dee had other plans, she was roped in by the mob wives for pole class lessons, and Bree had also introduced her to the idea of an online class for her Pole Dance lessons. "And why aren't you there too?""Eh...it's an all-girls thing." Aside from Dee and his co-workers, Rocco realizes that he has no friends, sure he has work friends but it has been hard for him to open himself up with his past. He kept on thinking what happened to him was his fault, he always felt that somehow he was too social back in college. That was why he became a bartender, the bar was the one thing that kept his social personality in place. The man felt safe with a barrier between him
Dee had no idea what to expect when Rockford told them that they were to attend lunch at his future employer's house. Well, looking at the driveway she knew that it was more of a mansion than a house. She could feel Rocco was getting tense beside her, and when her eyes caught Rockford's through the rearview mirror she knew that he was getting nervous about Rocco being there too. Dee realized that Rockford wanted this badly. She didn't know about his past, but knowing that he used to be the VP of a biker club she could already imagine the years that he had spent as security staff at Babes. Must be boring as hell. Dee wanted to feel sorry for their man, but she knew that he wouldn't want her to. So she stayed silent and for the time being, all she could do was to support him and make sure that Rocco wouldn't make a fool of himself by being the sweet man who loved their boyfriend and cared for his safety. With his trauma Dee didn't want to push Rocco, she didn't know how his mind work
Rockford was fussing with their breakfast, he had ordered room service for the complete continental breakfast before easing them on the happy news. Well, it was a happy one for him. He hoped that they would feel the same way about it too. It was a new opportunity and if last night was an indication, he knew that he was going to have lots of warm nights in their bed. With him running on point for the position that Max was trusting him, Rockford knows that he'd have a couple of busy first months as he gets to know his crew and settles in with them. But Rockford realized that by being the head of the new logistics division Max wanted him, he would have more flexible working time. He could spend more time with his lovers and he knew he was going to be able to support them with the kind of financial security Max was offering him. They could move back to his old place, or get a new one with the money he saved up over the years. They could also use his stash that he had never gotten to use
"Oh mmphfuuck..." Rocco muffled louder when Dee thrusts hard inside their boyfriend and Rockford was feeling his cock shoving down deeper into their man's throat. Yep, Rocco could see that Dee was all in when she saw the little brown paper bag containing their sex toy, leather cuffs, and lube. Rockford chuckled when she giddily strutted into the bathroom and Rocco heard the water running before she was coming out with the strap on and nothing else. Dee asked Rocco to strip and be on all fours and the man followed through with her demand in less than a minute."You're so gorgeous, all debouched like this," Rockford purred, gently caressing his lover's handsome face before he pushed back down his throat. Rocco was a mess, his mouth was full of Rockford's cock while Dee was slamming him with the new strap-on. She was smiling wickedly, before kissing his back ever so gently. She knew what he liked and her hand was caressing his side, coaxing goosebumps on his upper arms. Dee leaned down
It didn't take long before his phone buzzed, alerting him that the messenger for his package had arrived. He left his lovers and put his clothes on to get himself down to the lobby to pick up the package. Rockford was on his way back when Ivan stopped in front of him and told him Max wanted to see him, and that his boss was waiting for him at the bar. He was escorted to one of the backrooms, a small office where Max was there waiting. It has been years since he saw the guy. He still looked the same. Hard, cold stare eyes were looking back at him before his lips tugged into a warm welcoming smile and told Rockford to sit down and let Ivan get back to his post."Don't worry, I have someone watching your suite. Your lovers are safe within my walls." Max poured himself a glass of vodka and put another one in front of him. Okay, looked like Rockford was going to skip his evening pills and he was fine with that. He had been wanting to take the edge off since the shootout but Rocco had been
