Saviour (Saviour #1)(63)

I stand, pull my skirt up to my waist, and lay my body over his desk with my legs as wide apart as I can get them. Thanks to my heels, my hips are in the perfect position for him. He sits back on his chair for about a minute looking at me before saying “Ms. Day that is by far, the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my f*cking life”

He stands, takes two steps and slides his fingers inside me, his thumb circling me, there, in that most intimate of places. He lets my hair down out of the lose bun I had it in and grabs a handful and pulls my head back, forcing me to arch my back “Fuck Lauren you’re so wet, I love you wet. Do you have any idea what it does to me, what you do to me?”

He yanks my hair a little harder and slaps me, right across my backside, my hips flex forward and the friction caused by the hard wood of the desk feels surprisingly good but my bum cheeks sting.

“Owww” I say it before I realise how much I actually like the sensation. He rubs his hand in circles over my burning cheeks, I circle my hips and move them up and down, like I am dry humping the desk and oh my god, it feels good. He slides into me with ease because I'm so wet. He holds onto my hips and it only takes a few thrusts and we both come almost instantly, trying to make as least noise as possible. We lay still for a few minutes, him flat on top of me as we catch our breath.

“Daaaad?” Ava calls from somewhere, “Shit” says Gabe. He pulls out of me swiftly, zips up his fly and walks out the door saying “Yes Ava, what is it?”

I laugh, remembering only too well the joy of having kids around when you’re trying to grab a quickie. I pull down my skirt and dive from the study back to our bedroom to clean myself up.

After a quick shower, I pull my robe around me, grab my phone, and call Sonny in England.

“Hello mum, how are you?”

“I’m good baby boy, you?”

We exchange pleasantries, talk about the weather, the footy, the rugby finals and his training and then I decide to just come out with it “Sonny, I need to let you know, I've met someone”

“Shit mum, that was fast”

“I know, I'm sorry, please don’t judge me, we met and boom it's just been amazing. I don't know how it’s going to go but for now, it’s really good” My face is burning with embarrassment as I try to explain myself to my eldest child.

“Does he treat you well?” Well that wasn’t the response I was expecting.

“He does Sonn, really well and he's put up with all my shit all week and he's just been brilliant”

“Do I know him?”

“No, no you don't”

“Look mum as long as he's looking after you and your happy, then I'm happy for you, f*ck everyone else”

“Ha, you sound just like him”

I won't mention that's probably because he's only ten years older than him, that's for another phone call!

“Yeah? Well he must be a pretty good bloke then”

“He is”

“Then that’s good enough for me mum. You deserve to be happy”

My tears are instant. We did something right, Jay and I. We raised this boy to become the beautiful man that he is. I muffle my sobs as we continue our conversation.

We chat some more about Jess and her work and then he floors me by saying “I’m really sorry mum, I really didn’t know dad was treating you so badly, I never would never have left if I had known”

“Don’t be ridiculous Sonny, it was my choice to stay with him, mine and mine alone, you have nothing to feel guilty about, nothing at all”

I hate that he’s thinking like this, there is no guilt on my children’s part for any of this.

“I should have known mum, I did know a bit but I never thought he would hurt you, you always seemed to give as good as you got, I wish you had told us”

“Oh Sonn, please don’t feel bad, please, it was my choice to stay with him, I thought he would mellow with age but when you and Ryder moved out, he just seemed to get worse but it doesn’t matter now, I’ve left all of that behind me and I’m with someone who treats me well and would never lay a hand on me”

“Good, I’m glad you’re happy, I really am”

I’m going to be a snotty mess if I don’t get off the phone soon.

“I have to go Sonn; we are going out to dinner. I love you lots bubby”

“Like jelly tots Mum, have a good night, speak soon”



Well telling him about Gabe was easier than I thought; something tells me Ryder will be much less accommodating though. Before I get chance to call him, I notice Gabe leaning in the door way.

Did he listen to my call, did I say anything stupid? Don't think so.

“You okay?”

“I'm good, what did Ava want?”

“Ahhh just wanted to know where we were going and did they have to dress up for dinner”

He comes and sits on the bed beside me, takes my hand and kisses it.

“I meant what I said earlier Lauren”

“Oh, that's okay, I think what we just did in the office is thanks enough”

He shakes his head.

“I don't mean about thanking you, although I do, immensely. I mean you are, by far the sexiest thing I've ever seen”

I look down into my lap. Why does he say these things, I know I'm not sexy. He lifts my chin with his finger so that I look at him.
