“Wow! What my friend just said,” Ana exclaimed.
“Not bad, Kelly. I’m beginning to like it.” Gabe said.
“Nate? Rafe?” Ana prompted. “You don’t have to give him the keys to the kingdom, let him work all sort of odd jobs besides trying to horn his skills. I can download software on his laptop that will prevent him from doing any hacking until you think he is ready.”
“Are you part of the deal Ana?” Rafe asked her.
“You mean, work for Sullivan & Sullivan? No, no, no. You know I work solo. But I am prepared to help with this kid if you want.”
“How about we sleep on it, but if we decide to go forward you give us the chance to talk to you about you joining us.” Rafe countered.
Ana looked at Nate and he just smiled at her. Clearly these guys were trying to use anything in their corner. “Just talking?” she asked.
“Just talking,” Nate confirmed.
“Okay. As long as you won’t be disappointed when my answer doesn’t change, I’m good with that.”
“In that case, we better go and put together a fantastic presentation that will wow you. We will call you to set up a date and time.” Both brothers stood up and everybody followed them to the door as they said their goodbyes.

The following week was busy for Ana. On Monday, she tried to catch up on all e-mails that had come through her inbox since the day she left to go on vacation. It had been slighly over two weeks since that day. Fortunately nothing was urgent and Damien, her friend, had taken care of all urgent issues during her absence. Two of her clients needed her to come up with some software programmes for their businesses and they had a attached a document explaining what they needed it to do. Most were confirmations of payments deposited into her bank account.
The next two days she worked on polishing up her current projects before she went into new ones. She delivered everything ahead of schedule and even sent her game, I love Summer 2.0 for packaging. The first printed discs would be on sale within less than a month and so Ana timed that with the release of the online version for those who prefered to download. She asked the printer to send her four boxed packages she intended to give to Rafe, Manuel and her brothers too. Gabe had told her his brothers enjoyed I love Summer 1.0.
Friday afternoon arrived sooner than she wanted. They were leaving for Dallas in time to make it for dinner. Her mum had said she would prepare bedrooms for them to sleep at the house. There was no point in Gabe sleeping at a hotel. Gabe wasn’t pleased about them sleeping in separate rooms, but he undestood and said he didn’t want to disrespect her parents.
They were greeted by the pilot as they entered the jet. He had a few words with Gabe before they moved to take their seats. Ana counted about ten seats, cream leather softs, soft as butter. The stewardess came in to greet them and she was holding a tray with two champagne flutes, and said she would be serving them dinner after take off. Ana buckled in as she looked around and thought about the sheer luxury she was seeing. No wonder Gabe didn’t want to travel commercial. Who would after this experience? It was impressive. Neither first or business classes in commercial airlines could hold a candle. A pity this was a short trip. Well, short compared to their last trip to Hawaii.
As soon as the plane leveled off and the seat belt sign was off, Gabe took Ana’s hand and gave her a tour of the jet. There was an office, a small bedroom, a gulley kitchen, and the master bedroom which he showed her last. He locked the door when they were in.
“I promised you that we could make out,” he said as he pulled her to the bed. He sat on a chair in the room and told her to undress and lie face down on the bed.
Ana did as she was told wondering what Gabe had in mind. He had been insatiable all week, reaching for her throughout each night. There was a change to his lovemaking, alternating between gentle and fierce. Ana assumed it was because they wouldn’t be sleeping in the same room while in Dallas.
A few minutes later she felt the bed dip as he joined her. He caressed her back, kissing every inch from her neck, down to her toes. He brought her legs up until she was kneeling in the center of the bed with her ass up and her chest on the bed. He spread her knees further apart and parted her with his fingers.
“God, you are already wet.” Gabe murmured and kissed her butt. He gently pushed a finger inside, pulled out then thrust back two fingers. “You are always so tight.” Gabe played her like a violin. His other hand kept kneading the two cheeks of her ass, kissing her as she moaned and whimpered with the inscrease in intensity. “Baby, I need you to come now.” He played with her nub and she immidiately went stiff as an orgasm hit her. Gabe kissed her spine and held her up by her hips. “You okay baby?” When she nodded Gabe chuckled and said, “Can’t talk anymore?”
He lifted his cock and guided it to her entrance, where he rubbed it up and down her lips, coating her juices to his thick member. She whimpered and he chuckled again, before he placed the tip to her opening. Gabe adjusted her position to lift her ass higher in the air, and then held her hips and pulled her butt cheeks apart to see his cock at her entrance. He teased her as he pushed in and out, never going more than two or three inches.
“Gabe please,” she cried out.
“What is it you want Ana?”
“You, all of you.”
“Soon baby, soon baby.” He continued working her and she tried to push back to meet him, but he held her still with his hands and continued to set the depth of his cock inside her. Her vagina was tingling with pleasure, lots of pleasure. Gabe kept up the pace until she was uncotrollable then he thrust all the way in and held for a couple of seconds before he pulled out completely and thrust back again. Ana came on the second thrust, her cries muffled by the pillows. Gabe kept a frenzied pace as he plunged and pulled Ana to meet his thrusts. He slowed to hold her breasts. Ana moaned as Gabe squeezed them for a minute and pinched her nipples. She tightened her walls and felt his thick cock swell before his hands went back to her hips and he continued his vigorous in and out thrusts. “Baby, this has never felt so good before, I have never felt so hard for anyone in my life. Fuck Ana.” Gabe twisted and shuddered then thrust twice more before he collapsed onto Ana. He dropped to the side and pulled her to his front. “I’m not sure how I am going to survive the weekend. Any chance we can sneak out?” He threaded his fingers through her long golden hair, massaging her scalp.
“If you think you can be quiet, I can sneak into your room.” She replied and smiled at him.
“What? You are the noisy one. I could gag you so your parents don’t hear us.”
“That won’t help because I think mum is going to put you in Mark’s old room which has a squeaky bed,” Ana replied and laughed throatily.
“Oh fuck,” he said as he rolled Ana to lie beneath him. “In that case, let’s make the best use of the time then.” Then he plunged into her making good use of the remaining flight time.
They landed at the Addison airport just a few miles out of Dallas just after six and rented a car then drove to Ana’s childhood home. They got there just before seven and were met by both brothers as they parked along the curb.
Mark introduced Gabe to Matt and helped carry their overnight bags inside.
“Hi dad,” Ana kissed his cheek when he opened the door. Her mum was right behind him, drying her hands on her apron. “Mum,” she said as she kissed her cheek too, then hugged her.
Gabe followed her and shook hands with her dad and kissed her mum on the cheek. She blushed prettily and Ana knew everything would be okay.
“Dad, mum. Meet Gabriel Boyd. Gabe meet my dad and mum, Jim & Maggie Summers. And ofcourse you have already met my overbearing brother, Mark and my sweet and favorite brother, Matt.” Everybody laughed, and the tension was loosened.
They shook hands and asked Gabe to call them Jim and Maggie.
“Please come in. No need to keep standing by the door.” Jim said ushering everyone inside.
“Dinner will be ready in a min
ute,” Maggie said as she went back to check on her pots.
Ana followed and started to set the table with plates, glasses and silverware. As her mum pulled her trays from the oven to the countertop, and emptied the pot contents to the serving dishes, Ana carried them to the table. They worked like a team, like a well oiled machine until everything was to Maggie’s satisfaction.
Gabe could see where Ana got her looks, and what she would look like when she aged. Mrs. Summers still maintained her good looks. He hoped he could have the same love he could see that existed between Jim and Maggie. The couple obviously adored each other.
When she called out that dinner was ready, she made sure everyone washed their hands in the kitchen sink. Her parents sat on opposite ends on the table, with Mark and Matt sitting across Gabe and Ana.
“Maggie you have a lovely home. And I see that dresser Ana found for you in Connecticut fits right in.”
Ana’s mother smiled and her eyes landed on her daughter. “Thank you Gabe. Ana has an eye for beautiful things. You should see some of the items she helped pick for her brothers’ law office.”
“I’ll have to make sure I do. I’ll see if I can get myself an invitation,” he replied looking at her brothers.
Jim asked Gabe about his family and he explained how Nate and Rafe that Mark had met when he visited where part of his family, besides Manual and Evelyn. He talked about the Sunday lunches that everyone was expected to attend at his childhood home in New Jersey. He made them laugh when he explained how his mother expected perfect attendance unless they had business out of town or an important meeting, and actually kept an attendance record. She had been a teacher before she met his dad and stopped work to raise her children.
Maggie served a rich moist German chocolate cake with either icecream or cream for dessert.
When Ana started moaning with pleasure, Gabe’s cock swelled under the table. “Mum, this is great. I miss your cakes.”
“Did you make this Maggie?” When she nodded yes, Gabe told her, “It’s unbelievable. My mother would kill for that recipe.”
“I’ll write it down for you and you can give her,” she told him.
“Thank you. You just earned me the favorite son of the year award,” he replied and smiled hugely.
“Boys, it’s time to clean up. Not you Gabe, today you are a visitor, but tomorrow you can join in with my boys.”
While Mark and Matt cleaned up, Gabe, Ana and her parents went to the living room and relaxed. Gabe accepted a beer from Jim and they went to sit outside. The weather in Dallas was way warmer than in New York, and made it pleasant to relax while breathing in fresh air.
Ana and her mum stayed inside and had a glass of wine each. They talked a little about Ana’s work before they moved on to Hope’s Child, the charity that her mum volunteered at. She was excited about the recent two million dollar donation they had received a few weeks back. She didn’t know the donation was from Ana. And as expected, none of her brothers had mentioned it to her. She talked about all the good things they would be able to do with it. Better and more programmes, more kids that they could take in and help, better and more modern equipment and less fear of closing down for at least a few years down the line.
Mark and Matt joined her dad and Gabe outside, and soon there was an argument about which basketball players had better stats. A little after ten, her parents went to bed and her mum told her where Gabe was sleeping. She had hoped she would have resorted to modern day thinking and allowed them to share a bed, but unfortunately she went for the old fashioned method. Ana smiled and bade them goodnight, then went to join the guys outside. Gabe pulled her to his lap, and she cuddled to his chest and listened to their argument continue. It seemed all three had a different athlete they thought was better.
“I know none of you are going to come to an agreement tonight. So how about we table this for the night and you can continue tomorrow.” Ana didn’t say it as a question, more as a statement she expected everyone to follow. “What time are you guys coming over?”
They said their goodnight’s with her brothers promising to be back in time for breakfast then they would take Gabe around Dallas then treat him to a real Texas barbeque grill outside.
Ana kissed Gabe goodnight in his room and promised to sneak back in later. Unfortunately for Gabe, she slept right through the night and only woke up when her mum shook her shoulders. Disoriented, she forgot where she was for a minute, then stretched and got right out of bed. Everyone was already having breakfast, so Ana quickly showered and dressed. By the time she got to the table, everyone was done and drinking coffee.
She kissed Gabe’s cheek and greeted everyone as she sat down.
“That must have been some tiring trip,” Mark snickered. Ana blushed and she threw a piece of toast at him.
“Ana, you know we don’t play with food in this house,” her mother scolded.
“Yes, ma’am.” She replied before sticking her tongue out to Mark. She loaded her plate with two poached eggs, a sausage and three strips of bacon with two slices of toast. Prefering tea over coffee, she walked to the kitchen and poured hot water from the kettle over a tea bag, then sat back down.
Her parents had a prior morning engagement, so they left with the promise to meet everybody later that afternnon for a barbeque lunch at the house. Ana and Gabe left with Mark and Matt on a short tour of Dallas. By the time they were back in the afternoon carrying meat and extra charcoal with drinks and beer, her parents were back and her mum was making a potatoe salad in the kitchen. The men quickly got to work on the barbeque grill and before long they were enjoying some grilled chicken and short ribs, with potatoe salad, corn on the cob and beans. They spent the rest of the afternoon and evening outside.

Sunday afternoon, they arrived back in New York to be greeted by a cold and gloomy weather. The rain had started falling early that morning and was said to continue until the next day. Dallas had been nice and warm, chilly at times, but not enough to need a coat, just light sweater to keep the chills away.
The week flew by fast. Ana kept herself busy and she met with the Sullivan brothers who discussed the merits of her coming on board. Although she had always wanted to work solo, she did like some of their reasons of why their relationship would be mutually beneficial. Ana agreed to put more serious thought into it, and see how this would affect her current clients.
Ana spent the weekend alone. Kelly was working all weekend, and Gabe had gone to San Francisco on a business trip. He had tried to pursuade her to join him, but she had declined saying she didn’t want to spend all day alone in a hotel room. Needing some company, she jumped at the chance of joining Gabe’s family for their traditional Sunday afternoon. She got a ride from Nate and Rafe. They had talked to the teenager and his parents, agreed not to sue the boy if he agreed to work for them and stop illegal hacking. They offered to teach him everything in the right way, but he would have to make sure he didn’t skip school, kept his grades up, stayed away from drugs and crime. In return he would work at their company after school and on holidays. The boys parents were so relieved they agreed to sign anything to make sure their son didn’t end up being recruited as gang member, but their son, Tom wasn’t so happy about having his freedom taken away. The threat of federal prison, however, soon changed his mind. Ana laughed when Rafe told her how the kid had tried to push blame on his younger brother.
Gabe’s trip was extended by an extra day and he was not a happy camper about the extra time away from Ana. It was Tuesday before he made it back to New York. His flight arrived just before midnight and he went straight to her apartment from the airport. He walked into her bedroom to find an empty bed, and after searching for her in the other rooms couldn’t locate her.
Gabe quickly called his driver John to pick him back up. John hadn’t gone that far yet, and he picked his boss up and dropped him off at the penthouse. When Gabe walked into his bedroom, his bed was empty too, and he started getting worried. They
had hardly talked that day, with his back to back meetings and he had wanted to surprise her, so hadn’t told her he would be back that night. He hoped she hadn’t run into some kind of mugging. He would probably need to start calling the police and hospitals. And if she was alive - okay, he would tie and bind her until she agreed to use the car he had at her disposal during the day too. Hell, he would assign bodyguards to her if that is what it took. Frustrated he placed a call to Kelly who he knew was working night shift.
“Kelly, it’s Gabe. Sorry, I know you must be busy, but I can’t find Ana. Do you know where she might be?”
“I think she said she would be over at your place since I am working tonight.”
“She is not here, I checked the bedroom and the bathroom.” Gabe was checking the other rooms as he was talking to Kelly, then he saw her curled up on the couch. “Sorry, false alarm, she is on the coach. I didn’t see her when I got in because I didn’t put on any lights. Thanks Kelly and good night.”
“Night Gabe,” Kelly answered back before she hung up.
God, she is so beautiful Gabe said to himself as he walked over. She had a throw covering her legs and was in a bathrobe, with a towel on her head. He picked her up and put her to bed, then quickly undressed and joined her, pulling her into his arms.
The next morning Ana stretched and hit a warm body. When she opened her eyes, she found herself looking into Gabe’s midnight blue eyes. He smiled and pulled her tighter against his body. Ana lifted her hand to hold his cheek, felt the stubble before weaving her fingers through his hair.
“Mmmm, good morning,” she said as she leaned in to steal a kiss.
