The next day Jojo had rotated Bree's schedule, she managed to give her two days off and that's all she needs. She was still new, she didn't want to get cut because she was unable to work for two straight days. And those two days were all she needed since Hazel was discharged the next day.At least she was only paying for a one-day private room, her little girl was a bit cranky the next day saying she wanted to sleep in her bed. Late that afternoon after Bree signed off on her hospital administration and got Hazel's prescription, she saw Gage by Hazel's bed with another teddy bear almost as big as her daughter.No... Bree thought to herself, she didn't need to have Gage getting closer to her daughter. She didn't want Hazel to go through another separation process. Her little sunshine gave her thousands of questions when she realized her dad wasn't going to live with them again. The questions tire her already numbed feelings and she didn't need another one where Hazel might eventually t
The next morning Bree managed to pick up Mrs. Mancini before she goes to work in the afternoon. Lexie and Ivy, the other stripper moms had called asking about Hazel. They suggested her to stay at Lexie's when they heard the news. Bree was grateful for the offer, but she felt more at ease when Mrs. Mancini volunteered to babysit for her again. "Thank you again for doing this for me." She told Mrs. Mancini once they arrived at her new apartment. The older woman was busy complimenting her new place while Hazel quickly took her spot in front of the television playing with her teddies, sitting on the very comfortable sofa. Bree still couldn't believe that the apartment came fully furnished. "Oh, Bree darling, your luck is changing, I can feel it. That boss of yours is very generous." Bree blushed the second she mentioned her boss, Gage. She had told her about him, though she had said that he was doing it out of the kindness of his heart, Bree couldn't push the feeling that there might b
"Bree, look at me." Gage cupped her face, turning her to face him. He seated her on the kitchen stool trying to clean her scrapes and pick shards of glass from the broken car window embedded in her arm. It wasn't much but he needs to make sure the wounds won't get infected. The bruise on her neck looked worse, he put medical ointment to hopefully help it heal faster. He also put some on her exposed hip, then ushered her to change to his t-shirt and pajama pants.While Bree was in the bathroom, Gage had called Mrs. Mancini and told her to pack a few days' worths of clothing for both Hazel and Bree. "I... I have to get back, Hazel..." Bree said after she was back joining him in the living room."I've sent Elvis to pick them up and escort them here, I have a spare room." Gage thought that he should not offer, he has other apartments, and he could even put her up in a hotel. But deep down he blamed himself, after all, she was attacked in the parking lot of the apartment that he rented ou
Gage doesn't kiss on the lips, he didn't like to be kissed not when it means intimacy. Those were the small moments he used to indulge when he was with his late wife. But when Bree kissed him, Gage did not retreat, he didn't want to pull back from the kiss like he always does with other women. He realized that wanted her, god knows he did, and he felt like a manipulative boss who second-guessed himself whenever Bree was near. He kept assuring himself that he would have Bree just like Jade, everything worked out between them. Gage wanted Jade and he got her out of his system a couple of months later now both kept their professional attitude and she stayed working at Babes to support her kid while Gage helped whenever he can just because he wanted to. The man thought he could do the same with Bree. From the first moment he saw her and learned about her situation he felt the great urge to be her savior, he wanted to be there for her. Badly.The knock on his front door made him get up
Gage doesn't date because the last time he dated, the woman looked at the framed picture of him next to his late wife and told him that it was creepy the way he still holds on to his deceased family. But when Bree finishes cleaning herself and getting dressed in the small bathroom attached to his home office after their little sexy encounter, she found and looked at the picture of a younger version of Gage. He was wrapping his arm around a beautiful-looking woman and then Bree asked why he put the picture in the bathroom.Bree knew that he had lost his family years back from Cassidy. That girl gossips like it's her way of keeping herself sane between med school and stripping at Babes."Of course, you know about my family," Gage said without looking offended, knowing that his employees at Babes often talk about him. The man gave her a small smile and tried to shrug off her question, he was already anticipating when Bree would tell him to put the picture away.But instead, he heard her
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
"Morning." Gage greeted the beautiful woman lying next to him by kissing her forehead softly. "Ugh, is it morning already?" Bree groaned from her side of the bed, then she took the comforter with her and continued seeking warmth by burrowing under Gage's arms.The man smirked, amused by her little quirks as he had been watching her for the last hour since. Bree had taken over the cover, bundling herself, keeping herself warm like a cozy burrito while leaving Gage naked and a bit cold from the morning air. He put on his pajama pants and got out of bed. "I'll fix us some coffee. I don't know what time Hazel usually wakes up but I'll go check in on her also." "Oh, my...Hazel!" The mentioning of her little girl's name made her eyes wide open, body alert, and quickly sit up, but then shriek finding her naked body under the cover. Then she gasped when she looked at half naked Gage, though she stopped for a second to admire his physique."Oh, god...I'm naked!"Gage laughed and gave her o
"Hazel, honey, Gage has something to say. Are you finished with your breakfast? Do you want more toast?""No mommy, I'm full." She looked at Gage smiling, waiting for him to speak. "So, your mom and I have been talking, the last couple of days we've been getting closer. Friendlier. And I wanted to get to know your mom better, date her, and get to know you better too. Would you like that?" "You want to be mom's boyfriend?" Gage was a bit startled when the four-year-old girl knew about the concept of boyfriends. But he put himself together and replied calmly. "Yes, but only if you agree." "I like my mom happy, so only if you promise to make mommy happy. My daddy didn't make mommy happy." The little girl adoringly bit her lip and looked at her mom. "I'll try my best to make her happy and you can keep an eye on me, how's that?"She giggled and told him that he was silly. "Okay, now, can we go swimming?" Her cheeky smile was contagious, her eyes widening in excitement making Gage pick
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
