‘Were you partial to these knickers,’ he growled as he looked at the thin strip of lace covering what he wanted. I didn’t have a chance to say yes before he grabbed them, thrust his thumbs into them and tore them open.
‘Gabe,’ I chastised.
‘Just unwrapping my present, baby,’ he winked. ‘Now quiet please, I have some very serious work to do.’ I sighed with pleasure as he sealed his mouth over my clit and teased it to a stiff nub. I lay back on his desk and sighed happily. This was so much better than a wrap for lunch. His lips and tongue working in perfect harmony with the two fingers he thrust inside me, making my arch my back as I whimpered. I heard a buzzing noise and jumped as a voice filled the room.
‘Sorry to bother you Sir, I have your father on the line and he says it’s urgent.’
‘Tell him I’m indisposed and I’ll call him back shortly,’ Gabe replied as he continued to thrust then flicked his tongue over my clit. I bit my lip as I held in a moan.
‘I did tell him that you were indisposed Sir, but he was very persistent.’
‘Alex, he’s always persistent, but I told you that I’m not available,’ Gabe barked as he continued to thrust his fingers in and out of me as I writhed on the desk and put my arm across my mouth to muffle my moans. ‘Please tell him that I’m currently enjoying lunch with Mrs. Austin and will call him when I have finished eating.’ He returned to suck on my clit while his fingers pumped, the heat in my body building, desperate for a release.
‘Yes Sir, sorry to have bothered you. Enjoy your lunch.’
‘I’m currently enjoying a very succulent peach, please don’t disturb me again until Mrs. Austin has left,’ he responded with a wink at me as I pleaded with my eyes to cut Alex off.
‘Of course, Sir.’
‘Thank you.’ Gabe lashed at me and I squealed as my body lifted up from the desk and I clutched his head and shuddered around him over and over before collapsing back down panting.
‘O God,’ I sighed, as I trembled while he licked me clean.
‘That was a perfect peach, baby. Sweetest yet,’ he chuckled.
‘You’re evil,’ I moaned.
‘I’m hard again, and I’m thinking of carrying out a merger right now. Climb on me, facing the door,’ he ordered.
‘Director by name, director by nature,’ I observed as he helped me up, spun me around and lowered me onto his lap, holding himself in position as I slid down his thick shaft. ‘Gabe,’ I cried.
‘I want you ride me, baby, while I play with your breasts and clit,’ he murmured as he nibbled my neck and slipped his fingers into the lace of my bra and freed my breasts from their confinement. I cried out as I moved on him and one set of his fingers rolled my nipples and the other slipped around my already sensitive clit. I felt so naughty, sitting in the bosses lap while everyone outside was working, oblivious. I panted as I worked on him, flexing my hips and stomach and mewled as he let his lips work on my favourite spot on my neck.
‘Gabe.’
‘Keep going,’ he moaned as he worked his hips to my rhythm. ‘Damn it baby, this is so hot.’
‘Yes,’ I cried. He pinched my nipple at the same time as slapping my clit. ‘GABE.’
‘Again?’
‘Yes,’ I pleaded. He repeated, building me higher and higher. I reached behind me and grasped the arms of his chair as I felt my climax approaching and he clamped a palm over my mouth as I screamed his name as it hit me. He reared up, still inside me and draped me over his desk as he powered into me from behind, not giving me a second to catch my breath.
‘You’re going to come again for me, Mia, then I’m going to flip you over and eat you out until you come again,’ he groaned. I nodded as I gripped the other side of the desk and gasped for air. ‘Then tonight, I’d like a pole dance before I take you to the steam room and fuck you in there.’
‘O God,’ I whimpered.
‘Then I’ll round it off by making love to you until you’re in a pleasure coma. How does that sound?’
‘Perfect, Sir,’ I whined as I started to tremble again and he spanked me.
After completing his promise, he helped me up and belted my coat back around me and hauled me into his arms. I was still on a high and quivering all over.
‘You, my beautiful wife, can pencil in an agenda like that anytime you want. I’ll always make lunch with you a top priority.’
‘I love you,’ I sighed as I reached up and adjusted his tie.
‘I love you too. Do you have clothes in your office?’ he arched an eyebrow as he looked at me.
‘Yes, this was just a lunch time special, Mr. Austin.’
‘Prepare to remove them, I may have a ten minute window this afternoon and I fancy giving you a few more orgasms on the sofa in your office.’
‘But it’s your birthday,’ I reminded him.
‘And seeing that look on your face when you come is the best present ever, other than hearing you say that you love me. Now, much as I’d love to play hooky and continue this now, I need to call back the boss and I have a much more boring meeting with HR regarding staffing levels in Hong Kong.’
‘You’re so hot all in charge.’ I wobbled as I looked up at his firm chin and sparkling eyes.
‘Come on,’ he laughed. ‘I’m accompanying you back to your office, you’re still on an orgasm high.’
‘Hmmm,’ I grinned as he took my arm and marched me to the door. ‘I’m such a lucky girl.’
Gabe came up behind me and grabbed my hips as I stood at the island with a big smile on my face.
‘Why are you looking so happy?’ he murmured as he kissed my ear.
‘Look,’ I replied. ‘All of our favourite people in one room together for Christmas, why wouldn’t I be happy.’ We stood watching them all at the dining table, where we’d had our big Christmas dinner. Gerry and Robert were laughing, Doug and Lexi were talking, Mum and Sofia were cooing over Ava who was being bounced on Mum’s knee. ‘I really hope we have one next Christmas,’ I sighed.
‘Another family gathering?’
‘A baby.’ I giggled as he wrapped his arms around me and squeezed tightly.
‘Me too,’ he replied as ran a trail of kisses up my neck. ‘It kills me when you hold Ava. I can’t wait to see you with ours in your arms.’ Lexi got up and walked over to us.
‘Can I borrow you both for a minute?’
‘Sure. What’s up?’ I asked.
‘Well, I don’t know if you noticed but I kind of haven’t given you my Christmas present yet and it’s a joint one, would you mind coming upstairs to my room.’
‘We’re getting a threesome for Christmas?’ exclaimed Gabe. I smacked his hands as he chuckled.
‘In your dreams, Austin’s,’ Lexi laughed and nodded to the door. We followed her upstairs. She was in the room opposite us, Doug in his usual room at the back, with Mum and Gerry in the room above our bathroom and Robert, Sofia and Ava in his own master suite. ‘Sit on the bed.’
‘O my God, she’s been learning to do a striptease,’ I giggled, as Gabe and I did as we were told.
‘Is this going to be the nursery?’ she asked as he looked around.
‘Yes,’ replied Gabe as he smiled at me and kissed my temple.
‘Why is it still looking like a guest bedroom then?’
‘We don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves, Lex. I mean, we’ll probably have a long wait to find someone, then we have to do the whole getting to know each other, then the are you sure about this stuff, before we even see if it physically can go any further.’
‘Well, I’m thinking that you need to do up the room a bit faster.’
‘You want to decorate it for our present?’ I asked, feeling confused.
‘No. I’m telling you that you can skip a few stages, because I’m going to be your surrogate, if you’ll have me.’
‘What?’ I looked at her stunned and Gabe just sat with a look of complete shock on his face as well.
‘You heard me. Who’s bet
ter qualified to do it than me? I mean I’m young, reasonably fit, I know you both and how important this is to you. I’d hopefully be able to give you this amazing gift and I’d have all the perks of being in the baby’s life because I’d be its Auntie. I’ve heard some women who do this can’t handle giving the baby away when they give birth, or they start getting too attached during the pregnancy. You two don’t need all that extra stress, not after everything you’ve already been through. Please let me do this for you.’
‘Lexi, this is a serious thing you’re offering,’ I reminded her, not convinced that she understood the implications. ‘It means no sex while you’re having the treatment, eating a healthy diet, which you’re not exactly known for, and being pregnant for nine whole months. What about your counselling training? What about work?’
‘I haven’t had sex for ages anyway, I’m trying to be all “grown up and responsible” and only sleeping with someone I’m in a relationship with, so that’s no longer a factor. Even if I got pregnant straight away, I’d be qualified as a counsellor way before I gave birth. Yes, I’d need some time off work. Now, if only I had a nice understanding boss who’d let me have a few months off,’ she grinned and I laughed. ‘I can handle being pregnant because I know what it would mean to you both. I suffered with you Mia, I felt all of your pain and I need to help in any way that I can. I was also thinking that you need to be a part of the pregnancy. How many relative strangers are going to let you be in their lives for most of it? Letting you feel their stomach’s when the baby kicks? That’s all important stuff that you both need to be a part of.’
‘You’re really serious,’ I uttered as I looked at her face.
‘Deadly. I know that I’ve kind of sprung it on you and that you may not want me, you might think it’s kind of weird or whatever, but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, ever since you told me that this was your only option last year. It’s not some crazy idea that I’ve just come up with. I know what Gabe’s like for worrying too, so I thought I could temporarily move in here with you. I get someone to do all the healthy cooking and giving me support if I need it and you get to be a part of the pregnancy, every day.’ She stood looking at us as she bit her lip. ‘I won’t be offended if you say no,’ she added. ‘But I’d really like to do this for you.’
‘Lex …’ I stalled as I shook my head not quite able to take it in.
‘I’ll head back down, give you some space to talk,’ she nodded. ‘I don’t need an answer in a hurry, I just wanted it out there.’ I looked at Gabe and he kissed my forehead.
‘Lexi,’ he said as she reached the door. She looked back over her shoulder. ‘I don’t have to ask Mia how she feels, because I already know that she’d be happy with this.’
‘But you’re not,’ she sighed.
‘Actually, I can’t think of anyone else, other than Mia, who I’d rather carry our child,’ Gabe replied.
‘You mean it?’ she replied as her face lit up. I looked at Gabe in amazement and he nodded at me, letting me know he that he was serious too.
‘We mean it, Lexi,’ I confirmed. ‘You’re crazy, you know that?’ I ran to her and squashed her tightly as I started crying. ‘I can’t believe you.’
‘Don’t get too excited. I know that I have to pass all kinds of sexual and sanity tests first,’ she laughed. ‘I may fall at the first hurdle. And before the question even comes up, because I know what you’re like, I’m not accepting any money. Besides it’s illegal here, I checked.’
‘Lexi,’ sighed Gabe as he stood and came to rub my back as I clung to her, astonished.
‘No,’ she replied firmly. ‘Mia’s family took me under their wing and treated me like their own. Mia’s let me live with her rent free while she paid for all of my food and spending too, she reunited me with my dad and gave me my family back, and she’s been the best sister I could ever have wished for. You were amazing after my miscarriage Gabe and you both gave me a great opportunity and salary with my job. It’s my way of saying thank you and helping out my best friends. If you’re happy to give me board and lodgings and pay for any maternity clothes, if I’m lucky enough to get pregnant, then that’s all cool.’
‘I’m thinking this may not be such a good deal,’ I replied as I straightened up and wiped my eyes. Lexi looked at me wide eyed. ‘You eat like a bloody horse as it is, we may not be able to afford to feed a pregnant Lexi.’
‘Sod off,’ she laughed and smacked my arm.
‘Seriously Lexi, I just don’t know what to say,’ uttered Gabe as he put his arm around me and squeezed me tightly. ‘You have no idea what this means to us.’
‘Trust me, I do,’ she smiled as she patted his shoulder. ‘Anyway, actions speak louder than words, so go and crack open some more alcohol, because I may not be able to drink for much longer. And when are we eating again? I’m bloody peckish,’ she moaned and we burst out laughing.
Great Expectations
We were back again, sitting outside Dr. Walker’s office, Gabe had his arm around me, reassuringly rubbing my upper arm. He knew this wasn’t easy for me, as I knew it wasn’t for him. We’d been here four times, each of which had ended in disaster. Lexi was holding my hand and kept sighing as we waited. She’d had her blood tests and it was just a waiting game now.
‘I don’t know why we’re here,’ she moaned. ‘I told you that it hasn’t worked. I’ve not been sick at all and you remember how sick I was last time.’
‘That doesn’t mean anything, Lex. Some women don’t get sick at all.’
‘I just don’t want you getting your hopes up.’
‘Trust me, I’ve learned the hard way not to do that,’ I replied and felt both of them squeeze me at the same time.
‘Mr. and Mrs. Austin and Miss Clarke,’ called Dr. Walker.
‘Are you sure you want us in there with you, Lex?’ Gabe asked as we all stood up.
‘Shut up,’ she teased and pushed us ahead of her.
We all sat down and I tried to read Dr. Walkers face, but she was a professional, she gave nothing away.
‘How have you been feeling, Lexi?’ she asked.
‘Great, so I’m not pregnant. I was sick as a dog last time. When can we try again?’
‘We don’t need to, because you are pregnant, two and a bit weeks,’ Dr. Walker advised with a smile.
‘I am?’ gasped Lexi at the same take as Gabe gasped ‘She is?’ while I just stared at her not sure if I had heard right again.
‘You are. We’ll have you back for more blood tests in a few days to make sure your hCG levels are rising and book you in for a scan in a few weeks. Congratulations.’
‘Lexi, I don’t know what to say,’ uttered Gabe as he shook his head.
‘How about thanks Lex, you rock and here’s a large pepperoni pizza to celebrate?’
‘Pizza?’ he looked at her aghast. ‘It’s not on …’
‘The list, yeah I remember the list,’ she laughed.
‘Baby?’ Gabe squeezed my hand and I looked up at him. ‘Are you ok?’ I nodded.
‘Give her a minute to process it, Gabe,’ Lexi advised as she rubbed my back. I nodded as I took a few deep breathes while Dr. Walker continued to talk. I really wasn’t listening. Lexi was pregnant? On first attempt? I was fighting the excitement, I so wanted to believe it but we weren’t that lucky. We’d never been that lucky. It was suddenly like one of those moments where you’re in a car, driving a familiar route, when you suddenly look up and think how did I get here? I don’t remember that part of the journey. I was standing in the car park with Gabe clasping my face, concern all over his face.
‘Mia?’
‘Sorry, I just … we’re really pregnant?’ I whispered as I looked at him. He nodded with a happy smile and I looked over at Lexi who did the same. ‘We’re pregnant?’
‘Gabe, can I just have a minute with her?’ Lexi asked.
‘Sure.’ He kissed me and went and got in the car.
‘Mia? Are you really ok with this?�
�
‘Lexi, honestly I’m overjoyed, I promise. It’s a shock thing, not a resentment or jealousy thing. I’m fucked up it can never be me. I’m just so grateful …’ I choked back some tears and she gave me a big hug.
‘Just remember that it’s your baby. You had it at the hospital and I’m just bringing it home for you, on a very, very slow bus.’
‘Lex,’ I giggled and squeezed her tightly. ‘You’re really pregnant.’
‘I am. Please tell me that he’s not resurrected that bloody list?’
‘No,’ I chuckled. ‘He’s created a whole new one based on up to date statistics.’
‘O fuck. Is it too late to change my mind?’ she teased and let me go, holding my hands as she smiled at me.
‘We’re pregnant,’ I screamed at the top of my lungs and broke into a huge smile making her laugh. Gabe leapt out of the car, concern all over his face and broke into a grin as he saw me crying happy tears.
I stood in the hospital room with Gabe’s arm around me as I held Lexi’s hand, about to have her first scan. I felt so sick as memories of my last one were so vivid in my mind. I’d gone from jubilation one minute, to the depths of hell the next. Gabe kept kissing my temple, and rubbing his cheek up and down mine, to try and keep me calm.
‘God damn it, I need to pee,’ Lexi moaned.
‘She hasn’t even started yet Lex, you need to really clench and hold it in,’ I advised her as she squeezed my hand tightly.
‘I have pathetic wee control.’
‘Like your bottom then,’ I retorted and got a gasp and a glare out of her.
‘I’m pregnant, it produces lots of flatulence,’ she protested.
‘You produce lots of flatulence Litmus, don’t be blaming the baby.’
‘Litmus?’ queried Gabe with a puzzled look.
‘You tell him and I’ll give this baby to another couple,’ warned Lexi. ‘What’s for dinner?’
‘Grilled chicken, new potatoes and steamed vegetables,’ replied Gabe and Lexi rolled her eyes at me.
