Babes Stripping For Love

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.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

But instead, he heard her say. “I’m sorry it’s personal. I just thought both of you looked beautiful and happy.”

Gage raised his eyebrow at her and she just smiled, offering him a sincere compliment. “Thank you,” he managed to reply before he took the framed picture from her hand and decided to put it on his desk instead.

“You don’t throw away the memories, it’s not like the new ones are going to compete with what you had. You looked really happy there, really in love.”

When Bree said the words he felt as if she was talking about herself, then he started to think maybe she had lost her love but then she told him about her parents. Bree told Gage that they had passed away and explained to him that she would forever cherish their memories.

Gage sat back down on his sofa and took her to his lap, Bree didn’t resist and let him hold her close.

“My last date, she thinks it weird that I still keep my late wife’s picture.” Gage finally told her.

“She doesn’t deserve you then.” Bree retorted easily making Gage want to hug and keep her in his arms longer. But the intimate moment only lasted for so long until they need to part. Bree needed to check on Hazel and Gage decided to go take a shower and take care of his erection.

Dinner was great, Hazel was a great kid and Gage hated the fact that her biological dad cut her off easily. But then he was selfish enough that he liked her being there, munching away happily while talking animatedly to Bree and himself.

“Hazel, finish your dinner then you can have your dessert,” Bree said from beside her little girl, encouraging her to eat her dinner and not play with her food.

“Can I have it in front of the tv mom?”

Bree shook her head and the little girl pouted adorably.

“Well, I think if you eat your veggies and have your meds, I can convince your mom to let us all have our dessert while watching some cartoons.”

Bree looked at him still shaking her head and pointing out her disagreement, meanwhile Gage reached for Hazel’s chubby hand and both looked at her annoyingly cute until she finally relented and agreed with Gage’s terms.

“Thank you, mommy! thank you, Gage! I love you!” the little girl threw her arms clapping in excitement and continued to dig into her dinner.

“She loves me.” Gage grinned at her and Bree laughed freely making her beautiful face even more beautiful than he had ever seen before.

“You’re bribing her with dessert and cartoons, but sure… I’ll give you a win.” She replied and kissed Hazel on her forehead when her little sunshine smiled at her cheekily.

When dinner was done, Hazel had her dessert and lounged by the television until she falls asleep between them. Bree was feeling all kinds of attachment to her boss as Gage delicately picked up Hazel and carried the little toddler to the guest bedroom and watched as Bree tucked her in.

“Come on, you deserve a glass of wine,” Gage whispered as he wrapped his arms around her slim waist. Bree feels that she shouldn’t easily fall into his charms but she couldn’t help herself. She wanted him and all of her better judgments were out the windows when he turned her around to cradle her face and kiss her gently. She sighed and rest her forehead on his shoulder, she was letting him hold her as she basked in his scent while her daughter was asleep in the other room.

“I’ll get the wine, why don’t you get comfortable on the sofa.” Bree followed his words and took a seat on the living room sofa, fiddling with her phone until he was at her side offering her a glass of white.

They make out for a while until he pulled back and caressed her face softly. Gage has never been this nervous, he knows it was too fast, but he had never felt so sure in his life before.

And that’s when he blurted out his words. “I want to date you.” He finally said it, he kissed her forehead and told her that he wanted to get to know her better and spend more time with her.

“You’re my boss. I have a kid, I don’t know about dating. I… I don’t want to disappoint her.” Bree was always thinking about Hazel, since she had her, Hazel has always been first on her mind. She thought she was going to fool around with Gage, she did not expect him to want to date her. Not with her kind of baggage.

“Why don’t we keep this from Hazel? for now, we can be friends in front of her. But I do want to date you, I want you to know I’m serious about you.” Gage was telling the truth, no amount of sex club scene equals to the perfect sexy afternoon he had with Bree. It may sound cheesy but he was being true to himself.

Feelings played a great part, he had always been a man that get in touch with his feelings. And when his wife and unborn child left him he was ruined. Gage thought he was done with his feelings until he met Bree.

It had been years, but he knows he what he was feeling towards Bree was different. And he was intrigued to explore his feelings more. Gage had felt something towards her since the first time he saw Bree at his club. He never believes in second chances, hell… he doesn’t even believe in love at first sight

The love he had for his late wife was of comfort, they’ve been dating since college. They mingled in the same social circle, their relationship turned into marriage the moment she told him that he was going to be a dad and he proposed to her instantly. He was happy, they were happy. Being married to her was the best couple of months of Gage’s adult life and he did not regret any of it.

And remembering what he had lost was not easy. But he was willing to take another chance and tear down his walls for Bree.

For Bree and her little Hazel.

“What about the club? I still need to work, and with us dating, I don’t know what other girls might think.” Bree was sure that Cassidy will talk about her and Gage. Though she wouldn’t care she needed her friends, what if things go bad, they break up and she needs to find another job?

Panic sets on her face and Gage didn’t like seeing that. “Hey, Bree, please relax. We’re both adults. We will think about it, we can keep it a secret, I’ll talk to Elvis to keep quiet. No one will know you’re staying here.”

“Here? I thought we’re just staying for one night then we’re going back to your other apartment.”

“Bree, let me take care of you. Stay here for a couple of days, weeks, just until you get everything settled. We will date, look… I know the situation is a bit chaotic, it’s like we’re moving fast and backward. But honestly, let me ask you this, do you want us?”

“Yeah, I guess so.”

He chuckled thanking Bree for her vote of confidence in their dating progress.

“Okay, do you enjoy our time today? our time with Hazel? don’t you think you want to try and find out if there can be an us in the future?”

“Yes, yes, and yes.” To her reply Gage gave her his biggest smile, making her smile right back at him.

“But, what if…” but then she quickly hesitated.

“Do you really want to dwell with the what-ifs? with all that’s been happening to you, don’t you think you deserve another chance? I’m willing to try it with you, the question is now… will you?”

“Oh, Gage, will you just kiss me already?” Bree felt she needs to be held and to feel cherished. After years of being married to Everett she never once felt the want to be in somebody’s arms. But hours after she felt what it was like being in Gage’s arms she suddenly craves it. And she finally sighed when he held her close and started to ravish her lips in his sweet sexy kisses.
