bedside lights on and all the candles were
extinguished. I could smell all of the roses and breathed them in before
grabbing my phone and heading downstairs with five minutes to spare for the
taxi I’d pre-booked.
    ‘Gabe?’ I
called. I walked toward the lounge and heard a noise behind me and turned
around and did a whistle when I saw him. He had on a pair of dark grey
trousers, matching jacket and a black shirt undone at the neck.
    ‘Wow, you
look like sex on legs. Is there anything your body doesn’t look good in?’
    ‘Funny, I
was thinking the same about you. That blue looks good on you, nearly as good as
your eyes. You’ve surprised me.’ He grabbed my waist and I put my arms around
his neck.
    ‘How so?’
    ‘I thought you’d
go for something short for some X-rated pda.’ He grabbed my buttocks and
squeezed them, making me laugh.
    ‘Xpda, eh?
No, I figured we needed to go slowly as we’re starting again. Damn, you look so
hot, Gabe,’ I kissed him and pulled back as the doorbell rang.
    ‘I’m locking
the gates when we get back tonight, nothing’s going to interrupt us.’
    ‘Come on,
I’m starving.’
    ‘What have
you eaten today, Mia?’
    ‘Half a
muffin so I plan on stuffing my face. If I’m going to be orgasming all night, I’ll
need the energy.’
    ‘I give up
with you and looking after yourself.’ He locked up as I reminded the taxi driver
where I wanted to go and I waited for Gabe to open the taxi door for me, I’d quickly
learned that he hated when I opened any form of door for myself. He gave me one
of his smiles as he held it open and took the opportunity to smack my bottom as
I ducked in. I automatically sat on the left, out of habit since his accident,
so he could put his good arm around me.
    ‘So will
you tell me where we’re going?’ he asked.
    ‘No, not
until we get there, but I’ve done some research and found it’s the best of its
kind in the city. Before we have any arguments, I invited you out for our eight
week anniversary first, so the evening’s on me, ok?’ I gave him one of my looks
and he frowned.
    ‘Mia, you
know how I feel about that and given it’s a no jeans affair that means it’s expensive
and I’m not comfortable with that.’
    ‘I was
prepared for you to try and negotiate so I’m willing to make one concession and
that’s it.’
    ‘Being?’
    ‘You pay
for the drinks. Everything else, including the surprise, is on me.’
    ‘I thought
the meal was the surprise.’
    ‘Not the
main surprise, no. So we’ve a deal?’
    ‘Who said we’ve
finished negotiating, Mia? I haven’t even warmed up yet,’ he laughed.
    ‘I can
withhold certain activities this weekend, which would lead you to deeply regret
not accepting my final offer.’
    ‘I really
don’t see you being able to stick to that threat, Mia,’ he chuckled. I looked
at him as he raised his eyebrows in amusement.
    ‘O Gabe,
you really should know me better after two months together. I managed for five
weeks and now I’ve my own stocked toy chest. I think I’ve more than enough to
keep me occupied for at least a few months before I get bored.’ I smiled as he
studied my face trying to work out if I was being serious.
    ‘You’re
bluffing, you wouldn’t dare.’
    ‘Be my
guest, pay for anything but alcohol tonight and don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Monday’s a long way off.’ I leaned in and whispered in his ear, ‘How will you
cope seeing me walking around naked, my nipples pert, my bottom …’
    ‘I’ll get
you back for this Mia, trust me,’ he said quickly cutting me off with a scowl
on his face.
    ‘So we’re
in agreement?’
    ‘It’s not
like I have a choice is it?’ he grumbled. ‘You really should learn to play
poker because you play me like a bloody professional.’
    ‘I’m happy
to learn strip poker,’ I grinned.
    ‘Now that I’d
love to teach you,’ he said finally cracking a knicker soaking smile. I ran my
finger over his eyebrow scar and kissed him
