Chapter 11: The First Time

It's been a few weeks since the big party. Gage and Tessa have spent a lot of time with each others friends, had dinners with their families to the point Angelo expects him at dinners on Sundays. If he needs time with his Tessa than he just invites her to brunch now. Tessa spent time alone with Maddie, Angelo spent time with Gage on their own. Everything was going pretty good. Dimitri and Gage have bumped heads a lot on certain things in meetings and outings as a group. Gage knew it was mainly due to the jealousy. Knowing if Dimitri couldn't calm down, he was going to push Tessenia away from him without Gage having to do a single thing he was not worried. He had trust and love. They were now on their three-month anniversary

Although Tessenia told him all the time how much she appreciated Gage and loved him all those loving girlfriend things. She made sure to show him in little ways every day. Gage would do the sweetest littlest things for her, making her feel like she was the only girl in the world. Gage still hasn't mustered the three little words her heart was waiting to hear. Gage was also still virgin intact. Wanting to prove how much she really means to him he was planning a special night in his home. Where he would give himself to her, and finally tell her. He had a spare key made for her, flower pedals all over the bed and bathroom for his special night. He's been getting better at cooking with her, but still sticking to what he know best. BBQ.

Gage just made the New York Steak, green salad, fruit, macaroni salad, rice, and roasted green beans French Styled. With a special marble cake, with buttercream frosting in the shape of a heart in her favorite color a dark blue. With a special grey writing that read 'I Love You Tessenia'. Putting some candles and flower petals on the table cloth. Going out of his way to make sure everything was set up as fancy as he could do. She would be here soonish and he has sweated through three outfits. Now that everything was set and ready. His small thin gift box next to her plate. They have been sleeping at each other's places more times than not. It just come to the point where he hated coming home or being home without her. He wanted her with him every night. It may be early or too soon, but he wanted her to move in with him.

Angelo and Sean were more supportive than his own inner thoughts. Grabbing his phone and calling Axel who was hanging with Vince and Ace. Axel putting him on speaker phone. 'Hey man, didn't expect to hear from you so soon. How's it going?' 'Dude I got everything all set up apparently the saying busy hands are happy hands is true. I'm starting to freak the fuck out I sweated through three out fits and I'm in front of three damn fans man.' 'Calm down dude. It's not as bad as it's going to be in your head. Tessenia loves you and she is going to appreciate everything you've done for her. She will say yes.' Axel told him trying to ease into the other arts before Ace beats him to the punch.

'Yeah man than you guys can Christine every room you got up in there.' *Smack* 'The hell man.' 'Shut the fuck fool. Listen Gage it's going to be fine. Just go with ever feels right. When you with the right person everything will be alright.' 'Thanks Vince.' 'Look man calm down your big ass won't hurt her. She will help you through it and it'll be fine. If not well practice makes perfect.' 'Not as helpful as you think you guys were but I don't feel a little better.' *KNOCK* *KNOCK* 'Fuck guys she's here.' "Breath Gage you got this.' "Yeah good luck man.' 'We'll see you in the morning.'

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, opening the door. She looked beautiful in a long black skirt and black spaghetti strap, her little jacket long gone. Her black heels in her hand. "Hey babe, how was the meeting?" "Sucked it was long who has a stupid as meeting for an hour and Friday in between quitting time and dinner. I'm starving. OH MY GOD! This looks and smells incredible babe. Thank you so much." Hugging him tightly bringing his tall ass down so he can smash his lips to hers. "I needed this so much after the last two days." "It's ok though Jaxon already texted me you got the deal. You are the master. I'll have some projects lined up for next week for you." Winking to her.

Helping her in her chair. "Do you know what today is?" He asked pouring her a glass of sweet tea. "If I say yes will you judge me?" Giving her the look of try me. "It's our three-month anniversary." She said lowly. "Is that what all this is about. It smells, and taste bomb as hell by the way." "Yes it is. There is somethings I wanted to run by you, but I'd like to wait for dessert first." Kissing her sweetly. "Alright. How was your day?" "Boring. Same ol' song and dance." Doing a little wiggle making her smile widely enjoying her food. After a short time he took a deep breath and brought the cake box over. Looking at her observing the thin box in front of her looking curiously.

"Tess I thought about how I wanted to go about this for a while. I want you to know how much I appreciate everything you've done for me. I'm so grateful and it never noticed ever thing no matter how big or small it never goes unnoticed by me. Before you came around I was just this lonely big ass nerd. I kept wishing and praying for my life to change, for something better to come along. Anything to make me feel like I was actually alive. Than there you were bumping into me in some random ass club I didn't even want to go to. You were everything I never I was praying for. You're everything I didn't even knew I always wanted. Thank you for picking up some loser in bar. Thank you for taking a chance on me. I know sometimes I get in my own head and get things messed up." Taking a deep breath and a gulp reaching over grabbing her hand rubbing the back of it.

"You've changed me so much and I just want to thank you for it. I feel like I've finally found myself when I'm with you. I'm finding sides to me I never knew I even had. Every good thing that's happened to me last few months are only better because you have been with me. So what I want to really tell you is." Opening the box heart cake. Making her eyes pop out wide. "I love you Tessenia. I just wanted to make sure you felt as special as I did when you first told me at the office. I love you Tessa and I'm sorry I made you wait so long to hear it." Staring at him for a moment before jumping smothering him in kisses telling him she loved him in between each word.

Smiling down to her. "This is for you, IF you want it." Opening it up and holding it up in confusion. "It's to my place here. You spoil me in so many ways, that I hate being without you. I can't sleep without you Tess. I want you to move in with me." Looking at him deeply. "My dad already knew didn't he?" "Yeah he said it would do your ol man good to finally get some sleep at night." Both laughing knowing he'd say that. "This is really what you want?" "I know it may seem too fast but this is what I want. You're what I want Tess." Smiling to her. Making her heart ache in both love and guilt. "It's so weird I never thought I would want to leave my place." Looking at him in that moment was like seeing her whole life ahead of her. Everything they could have, the one place she felt she actually belonged.

"Yes." She said smiling. "If it means I get to curl up to you every night. Yes." Kissing her deeply. "Any other surprises I need to know about this evening?" Teasing him. Wrapping her legs around his waist standing up and walking her to their room how he loved the sound of that. Putting her down and letting her open the door. Candles dimly lit the room all kinds of colored rose petals on the bed and floor. Her eyes popped open in shock never has anyone made her this special and loved. "I'm tired of holding myself back. I just wanted to show you how much you mean to me. Was this just wishful thinking?" "This is always my wishful thinking. If its too much we can stop anytime." "I don't want to stop period." Taking his hand holding behind her neck and hair one hand around her waist holding her close to him smashing his lip to hers getting drunk on each other.

Matching his need with hers. Lifting up his shirt over his head and casting it aside kissing him deeply. He felt all his control getting tossed out the window as he ripped her top straight off, her bra along with it. Lifting her back up wrapping her legs around his waist walking to their bed and laying her gently on it. Sliding on top of her carefully not to squish her with his weight. Taking her breast in his hand sucking it like a greedy man massage the other one with his other hand. After a few minutes of the painful torture of need more friction than what she was getting, he stood up and removed his pants and boxers.

Coming back slowly to the bed his darkened lustful eyes now looking at her like she was his prey standing on both knees over her. DAMN this man is one tall sexy Greek God status of a man. Lord I'm a be waddling around tomorrow with a special limp for sure.' Taking her skirt in his hands and ripping it along with her lacy panties in good shot. Watching her chest rise and fall quickly he could already see her glistening core. "You have no idea how beautiful you really are Tess, or just how crazy you drive me." Leaning down to kiss her once more having his hand trail all the way down her breast pinching her nipple, to her belly where the ball was already developing to wanting to be released. Down to the center of her womanhood.

Rubbing his finger slowly in between her folds. "Mmm so wet for me already baby. You ready for me?" He lowly growled to her in that sexy deep dark voice. Nodding to him looking at him like he was something that walked right out of her wet dreams. "Come on now baby use your words." "Y-yes." Stuttering was not something she did however she's never felt so vulnerable in her life until this moment. Sticking his finger in her than adding another while lip locked to his angel who was moaning in his mouth making him harder than he thought he could be.

Not being able to take it anymore he kissed, nibbled, sucked and licked his way down to her aching core. Wasting no time diving his tongue straight into her after a few minutes of drowning in her addicting taste he knew she was close. Going to her clit where he licked and sucked, playfully nibbled. He pushed his other two fingers inside her, making her hips rise as he used his other hand to flatten her back down. 'Lord have mercy the strength of this man.' Once he felt her shaking thighs he knew she was close. Just a moment later she was crying out his name, moans escaping her like they've been trapped for years. Wiping his face he went straight up to her and kissing her deeply. Making her taste herself it was so erotic and felt dirty in it's own way. Reaching in his drawer grabbing one a condom and putting it on.

Getting on top of her spreading her legs placing himself in the middle. He thrusted once straight into her dripping center. Closing her eyes tightly adjusting to his size of his raging member. "Open your eyes baby. Don't hide them from me. You good." Nodding to him. "You can move please." Kissing her as he slowly thrusted in and out of her a few times as careful not to hurt her. Once he felt she was good to go he stood straight up on his knees. Lifting on leg out and one leg on his shoulder pounding into her without mercy. Fingers going randomly pinching and massaging her clit the over stimulation was so much she couldn't contain the cries, mews, and moans. The sharp breath intakes driving him further and further over the edge.

In seconds he had her cumming again. Getting off her delicious body he sat against the head board, pulling her on to his lap. In on swift motion he was balls deep back inside her. "Ride it baby girl." He told her darkly his blackened by desire. Using her hips she was moving them in ways he never imagine they would go. Alternating from grinding into him, to bouncing to sliding as far back and forward she could get. Taking his finger adding it in her then taking it out and sucking it hard and slow. Using his other hand to help play with her.

He couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful temptress on top of him. Lost under seductive spell until he lost control again. Taking his hands on to her hips and controlling the pace and rhythm he was going into her deeper and deeper until she was screaming for him. "DADDY!" All that did was fuel his fire. Rolling her off of him and getting up putting her on all fours he got on his knees, slamming back into her. Not being able to control himself at all. Knowing how much she was loving him being so rough on her was not helping. Never knowing he had this side to him just edged him on.

Thrusting into her so deep his balls were spanking her each time. You could her wetness and feel still coming off her in waves. You could feel their sweat rolling off them in beads. Taking his hand and spanking her creamy ass he watched her with a playful twitch bounce that he felt through his dick. "You like that don't you baby?" He asked a little surprised. He took his hand up and spanked her again watching her sweet ass cheek jiggle even more than it currently was. He liked seeing his marks on her plumped ass. Grabbing her by her hair and pulling her up to her knees. Still showing ne mercy. Knowing how sore she will be from his delicious torture. Knowing how much she was loving every minute of it. "Tell me baby, tell me who can make you feel this good." "You Gage." "Tell me if you like daddy's dick being buried so deep within you basically sitting on my balls." "YES!! I love it." "Tell me what else you love?" "UGH FUCK!" "Tell me my Angel." "You Gage. I LOVE YOU!" Her body shaking as she fell over the edge for the last time barely able to stand on her own. Gage still had ahold of her this time his hand was wrapped around her neck carefully and his other hand wrapped around her front playing with her clit diving deeper and deeper within. Harder and harder. "I love you to baby." He told her as they both came again hard together.

Both bodies shaking hard. Trembling, sweat rolling off them in beads and streams. Giving themselves a minute before pulling out of her earning a whine, grunt and moan from both of them. "That was amazing Gage. Are you sure you're a virgin?" "Well not anymore. If I knew it was going to be like that I would have caved to your temptress was a while back." Making them both laugh as she hit his chest. There's one other thing I have for us." Looking at him curiously. Putting her hand in his as he got off the bed and walked her into the bathroom to see the candles lit, petals in the bathtub still warm and huge. She loved his tub it was big enough for knees and her breast to be under water every womans dream. Of course it was huge to accommodate for Gage's mountain size.

Old R&B came on softly through a blue tooth speaker. "I am a big believer in the after care." Wrapping his arms around her kissing her neck sweetly. Getting in first he took her hand and helped her in as he helped guide her down in between his legs. Taking the shampoo and conditioner he started to lather her hair up massaging her head in the process between the sweet smell of the shampoo, conditioner, and flowery scent adding the fact her body was spent. It was hard not fall asleep right there. Taking the loofa and washing her the best he could he turned her around to get the rest. When he did she started to wash his little hair and lather his body up with his own loofa.

Smiling and laughing with each other for a few minutes. "I love you so much Tessa." "I love you too Gage." Putting his hands back on her cheeks kissing her wrapping her hands around his neck. It took next to nothing to feel his hard on back that she was sitting on. In one swift motion she had him back inside her as he was sitting straighter this time he was hitting from inside her different. Rocking into him harder and deeper he knew he wasn't going to last much longer so again his hand went straight to her clit using his magical touch that her twitching on top of him as they both came at he same time again. "Thank God for birth control baby." "Yeah." She told him in a giggle. As he helped her out and dried each other off even her hair. He refused to let her hide her body back under clothes for the rest of the night.

Hopping into bed holding her close to him spooning her sweetly. Playing with her hair softly. "This is the greatest night of my life." "Greatest night so far." Tess teased him with Homer Simpson lines making him hold her closer to him in laughter. "Everything great is because of you. I can't wait to see it all get better." "Me too babe." She mumbled as she drifted off to sleep.

Waking up he felt something feeling so good. Moaning and moving around his eyes snapped up to see the woman of his dreams sucking on his dick, like her life depended on it. The way her tongue was moving on in had him crying out uncontrollably. He was getting close pulling her away from him he quickly went for another condom and rolled her on her side thrusting deeply. Stopping and rolling her on her he spread he legs as wide as they could get he thrusted his dick in her a few times before using two of his fingers to make a V around his raging hard on using his thumb to rub the hell out of her clit. Her eyes rolled instantly behind her head. "Eyes on my baby. I want to see what I do to you, not just feel it. I want to watch the gorgeous face come undone as you cum all over cock baby." "GAGE!" "That's it baby let go give it to, give in to Daddy." As they both came hard, bodies writhing looking into each others eyes. Something snapped in them at that moment.

"You feel that? What was that?" She asked him in a scared and shocked tone. "That's your heart and soul telling you, you're mine now baby. Only forever mine." Kissing her one last time as he pulled out. "I have to shower and meet the guys at the gym. Will you be ok on your own?" "Yeah aint nothing a shower, food, and a nap can't fix." "They might come back here to pick some things up is that alright." "Gage this is your home why are you asking me who can come?" "Well as of today my angel it's our home. I want you to feel at home. You can redecorate if you want or anything else you need to make it your own." Kissing her forehead and walking into the shower. 'My home now. Looking around she couldn't help but feel it in her bones. Home was not a place it was a person and there wasn't a thing she would change in her home after taking so long to find it in the first place.

Rushing out the door she quickly dressed rushing to her home to grab a few things. She had all her favorite clothes, cooking pots and pans. Other important things already there. She was still keeping her home as they discussed for her to use when she would need a break or for work. Maybe out of town guest like Tony, Dimitri and such. After she figured she had all she would need from this place she took her filled car and locked it. Smiling to herself sending a picture of the locked house to Angelo phone. 'Wish granted ol' man. You can finally sleep in peace tonight and every other night.' 'Thank God for that. Thought this day would never come. Are you happy my flower?' 'I am dad.' 'You know that's all I want for you, right?' 'I know dad. I want the same for you too. See you tomorrow night.'

The guys came and she made a big lunch making a great afternoon out of it. Ace, Vince and Axel loved her as a sister. It was so easy to be around her. After they left guilt was knocking on the back of her mind. 'How much longer are you going to wait to tell him? What are you waiting for?' Watching T.V. on the couch cuddled up she pushed away for a moment. Gage was so blissfully happy. "Gage, I-I ugh need to tell you something." The more she tried to get out the more panic was flowing through her and Gage was nervous for her to have another attack. "Hey breath babe, calm down. Breath in deep breath out slow there you go. Surly it can't be this bad to get worked up for. Yeah?" She just nodded her head. "Alright you know what no you don't have to tell me anything right now. Tess look at you. You are clearly not mentally or emotionally ready to tell me what you feel you need to." Taking a deep breath looking at her.

"Did you lie to me?" "No." "Did you cheat on me?" "FUCK NO! Never and I mean never will I ever do that to you." "Are you sick or dying? Need a surgery?" "No." Did someone die?" "No." "Am I fired? Do we need to be relocated? Are you traveling for work?" "No." "Are you leaving me?" "HELL NO!" "Will it change us?" "Probably, only if we let it, but there will be no difference in how we are now." "Than I don't need to know right now you tell me when you are actually ready to tell me understand let's give it another month and try again. I don't want anything to mess up this beautiful weekend." "OK." After clearing that up. They went to bed.

The work week flew by so quick they hardly got to see each other at all. So when Saturday the had huge plans to lay around the house. Of course taking his great friends advice to make sure the christened every room they had. Ace and the guys came by to pick something up to give to a charity they collected for at Ace's job. "Hey honey, do you have any I.B. Profin?" She asked him making him smirk he knew how sore she was. "Yeah baby there's some in my desk over there probably bottom shelf. Turning back to talk to the guys. After going through the drawers she found it. With an odd color folder that had her name on it. Slowly pulling it out she opened it looking at the information of her listed down her face and heart dropped.

"Oh shit." Ace whispered low enough just for the guys to hear looking at what she was reading. Gage's face dropped and his heart stopped and skipped a few beats. "What's that?" Vince asked Axel. "Hell if I know. Wait… Ace you didn't, you mother fucking idiot." They were whispering to themselves. "Yo man love you lots but this is all on you we out." Axel and Vince told him as Ace ran right behind him. "Baby I can explain that." "Really Gage you can explain why you got a back ground check folder on me dated back the day of our second date? Well than let's hear it." She mocked him. Still reading it. It was pretty light not a whole of information there but why did he have it all?

"I didn't look into you. That was Ace. He said with my parents being who they were it would be better if I knew if there was anything I needed to look for before the media found it. This was not me, I told him I didn't want that." "So than you didn't read it then?" Looking down full of guilt. "You claim you didn't want it but wasted no time in reading did you? It's a little light missing a lot of information clearly his sources are not that good. Should get his money back." Closing the file and sliding it so hard across his desk it flew all over the floor.

"You should have told me. No, you should have trusted me. If you had such worries and concerns about me all you had to do was ask me I would have told you Gage. This is so fucking low. This is beyond you. So if this told you I was the orphaned adopted by the worlds richest man. Would I be here? If it said I was a waitress for years and now the cleaning lady for the Dark Rose would I be here? If I didn't meet your mothers high society needs. If I lived further into the other side of Bell Brook would I still be right here with you like this where we are right now?" Tess was roaring at him.

"YES! We would because I love and liked you for who you are. Not what you do, or where you live. Not on your past but who you are." THAN WHY DID YOU READ THIS?! WHY DIDN'T YOU SHRED IT THE MINUTE YOU GOT IT?! Why the fuck would you keep it?" Tessa felt betrayed by him he check in on her before they even got a chance. "Ok, so your telling me if someone gave you a back ground check on me you wouldn't have read it?" "No, I wouldn't and don't think the guys didn't wan tot run one. The difference was my friends respected us enough to listen to me when I said no. I wanted to know you the right way. No suasion, or other interference to change my mind. I wanted to do this right from the start. I wanted to know you through you." Taking a deep breath.

"I seriously am having doubts that you only read it and the only reason I am here is because I would fit into your families standards on the details your P.I actually got. Your high family precious name wouldn't look so shiny with a tarnished orphan girl if she still stayed on orphan on the low-class side. Your mommy would stand so proud of you right. God knows you wouldn't disappoint her in tossing me back to the class where I would belong. You warned me about that before right?" "Tessenia that is not fair. I wanted to this relationship right too." "If that was true you wouldn't have this. You would have trust in me. Given me a fair chance without any persuasion." Going to the kitchen grabbing her keys and her phone slamming the door shut behind her. Hearing her car rev up and drive off he felt his heart drop and tears falling from his eyes. I fucked up now.

Sean came walking in the dark house it was just after sunset the light was still leaving the sky. "Wow seems a little ominous than I thought it would with having a woman's ouch now." Sean joked. "It did have a woman's touch." Gage answered in a scratchy voice. "What happened." Taking a seat in the dark living room but still bright enough to see Gage. "Ace did a check up on Tessa when we were going to have our second date. I told him not to but he sent it anyway. Thought maybe should get a head start in case there was anything in her file that could mess with mamas precious family name. My dumb ass read it. Not only read it, which didn't have much details to begin with, I kept it in my desk. I should have shredded it the second it got in my hand. She thinks I didn't trust in her enough to ask her things. That's such bullshit though. We talked, talked and talked until we basically knew everything about each other. For the most part I mean there's always going to be something to learn." Gage told him kicking the ground like a pouty child in trouble.

'You have no idea how true that is son.' "She couldn't even look at me she took off after we promised each other we wouldn't just leave like that in a fight." "Yeah well you promised to trust her but if you have a background check you already broke that one don't you think?" "It's not fair I didn't make the damn thing. I did read it and I shouldn't have. It was the first woman who wanted to know and be with me for me for who I am. I violated that with her. Tess said if the file would have said she was just a regular orphan who stayed on the wrong side of town than I wouldn't be in love with her, living with her right now. That I would have tossed her aside like mama probably would have wanted."

"Well son, it's a fair comment you know damn well how your mama would have felt if that were true." "It wouldn't have mattered to me though. I would still be with her. I mean you and Tess are the same you come from the same place same story." "Whoa now that's where you are wrong son. We are not the same we don't come from the same place at all just because the orphanage was the same one." "What do you mean you know how weird that sounds?"

"I came from a loving family home with a brother who was with me until we got older. We had each others back we were best friends. Are parents died, but they knew us and they loved us and we knew it. Tessa's parents were selfish and walked out she knew they didn't love her enough to be there. She had no one, no siblings, no friends no one in her corner until Angelo came. See son my parents were taken from me; her parents threw her away to pack of basically wolves. Which do you think is worse? We are not the same. She will always be stronger than anyone from our family. You did wrong by this. You need to make it right." Sean told him flatly.

"I think she needs space right now. I am not even sure where she went. It's our first time spending anytime together all week. She has to leave for a meeting soon she won't be back until Wednesday morning. I don't really know where to start. Her phone's off. She wouldn't answer right now for me anyway." "Don't worry son. She's hurt now but it's not as bad as you think. You can fix it. The trust bond is not broken yet it's just shaken." "Thanks dad." After hugging his son tight to him and leaving he knew there was only one place he could go to make it better. Taking a deep breath and moving around getting ready for the visit he didn't want to make.

Early the next morning he was knocking on the door. As it opened Gage knew the face behind it would be shocked. "I screwed up. I did a bad thing. Not horribly bad, but it feels like it. She found this in my desk my friend gave me. I have a plan to try to make it right, but I need your advice. I have to make this right. I can't stand the thought of hurting in any way shape or form but I did. I'm sorry. Can you help me?" Gage asked in a broken voice handing the file over to the man in front of him who has his arms crossed a smirk on his face stepping aside to let him. 'This ought to be worth listening to.' He thought to himself. "It's ok Gage we're all bound to make fuck ups, it's what makes us human. What makes us a man is being able to correct it. Understand me boy?" "Yes, Angelo." "Then let's get started."
