Exhale: Book 2

Motherless Child

Sabrina

It's been six weeks since Gabe sprained his ankle. The swelling in his ankle has gone down, but he doesn't want to get up and walk around. He says that his ankle still hurts, but I don't buy that crap. Two nights ago, when I walk downstairs to get a glass of milk for Mahogany, I saw Gabe walking perfectly fine out the kitchen, going into the living room, eating one of my homemade cookies I made earlier that day and drinking a glass of milk.

I didn't have much to do at work today because almost my entire staff is out of the state or country working for the summer. The girls are in China for a few weeks for a summer teen fashion show, Adam is in Milan for a photo shoot, Ethan is at work, and Alexis is in Egypt interviewing the president about the women in Egypt that are sexually harassed and abused. Mike came to pick Mahogany up to take her to ballet class earlier, leaving Gabe and me home alone.

"Gabe you have to get up. You've been laying on your ass for weeks, it's time for you to get up and walk around," I say trying to pull Gabe off the couch.

"Love, you're hurting my ankle," He hissed, faking it. I let him go and sigh. Since he wants to act, two can play this game. "I'm sorry Gabe," I smirk, "Here, let me make it better." I massage his ankle. I move up to his leg and reach his thigh. I can hear him breathe heavy, "Is that better?" I smirk.

I feel his dick erect in my hands. "Y-Yeah that's better." He says under his breath. He moves my hand away from his dick and pulls me closer to him, "Come here." He kisses my lips.

I pull away, "Baby we shouldn't." I smile, "I don't want to hurt you." He smiles, "You won't hurt me love." He unbuttons a few buttons on my shirt, "If you do, I'll moan through the pain."

I move his hand and get up. "Gabe you're still hurt. It's been six weeks and you're not showing any progress. I don't think..." I unbutton my shirt, "sex will help you." I open my blouse showing my red bra. I look down at my chest and back at him, "Right Gabe?" I smirk. He licks his lips, "Why don't you come here, and we can see."

I shake my head and take off my shirt, "No, it's getting a little hot in here," I unbutton and pull the zipper down on my pants, "I don't think we should be so close together because of the heat." I smirk pulling off my pants, leaving me in my underwear. "You're teasing me Love." He says in a frustrated tone.

"What are you talking about babe?" I smirk, sitting on a love seat far away from him, "It's hot in the house due to the summer heat. I always take off my clothes when I get hot." I get up from the couch, "But if you don't like to see me in my underwear." I lean in closer towards him. He smiles, "I'll just go upstairs and take a nice shower all alone." He smiles goes away.

"You're seriously going to leave me down here all alone?" He asks. "Not alone," I whistle, and Winter comes running and barking from around the corner, "You have Winter." I smile, walking off.

Rachel brought Winter over to keep Mahogany company. Since Winter is getting older and Gabe doesn't have time to watch Winter, he gave Winter to his parents.

I walk upstairs to my room. I turn on the shower and hide in the bathroom closet. I want to see if Gabe is going to walk in the bathroom. After a few minutes, I didn't see Gabe come in. I was about to walk out of the closet until I hear the bathroom door open. I see Gabe walking in the bathroom going to the shower. I open the bathroom door and look at him. He looks at me with a guilty look on his face. I just roll my eyes, smirk, and walk out of the bathroom and walk into the bedroom. Gabe walks in moments later and sits on the bed as I find some clothes to put on. "Are you mad at me?" He asks.

I smile and honestly say, "No. I just want to know why you faked it these past few days?"

He pulls me towards him and sits me in his lap. "I didn't want to leave," He shrugs.
