Gabriel lifted her effortlessly, striding towards the bed with a determined look in his eyes.
He gently placed her on the bed and leaned down to capture her lips, murmuring, "What did you just call me?"
Her eyes shimmering with mischief, Sylvia gazed up at him seductively, her voice a sultry whisper, “Can't I use the name everyone else does?” Before he could respond, she tilted her head up, the picture of innocence, "If you don't like it, I won't say it again.”
"I don't like it." he confessed, kissing her more passionately, "Others may have used that name, but it won't be yours. Try dropping the first part.” Considering for a moment, Sylvia softly spoke, "Sweetie?"
"Mhm." Gabriel grunted, his response low and husky as his kisses deepened.

Her eyes narrowed, "Yes. I have."
Baron sighed theatrically, "After all these years, he still hasn't given you a second look. Such a pity.” "Are you calling to mock me?" Audrey demanded.
"Of course not, I'm here to help!" Baron assured her.
Audrey's voice was icy, "Why would someone as rotten to the core as you want to help me?" Baron remained unfazed, "To be honest, I've taken a fancy to Sylvia.”
Audrey's realization was swift, "That explains it."
"So, let's work together. You want Gabriel, I'll take Sylvia."
