“She introduced herself, so I introducedmyself. Problem, Gage?” she teased.
Gage pressed her to the hallway wall and replied, “Yes, definitely. I want you again.”
“Why is that a problem?” she asked.
“Because I don’t want Daisy to have you,” Gage said. “I want to be the only one.”
“Is this a territorial thing now that we’ve been together? You want to be the only woman to touch me? I thought we already agreed that–”
“Territorial, yes, but probably not how you’re thinking. Well, maybe a little bit how you’re thinking.” Gage winked at her. “Mostly, I just love the idea of being your only.”
“You’re sweet,” Carrie said with a smile.
“Don’t tell anyone else. I don’t want the secret getting out.”
“God, why would I tell anyone?” She wrapped her arms around Gage’s neck. “I want you all to myself.” She looked down. “Are you–”
“Yes,” Gage said and moved into her more. “I put it on after talking to Nia. This one for the day, but I can definitely wear another one tonight, if you want.”
“Oh. I thought we were going to the bedroom.”
“We are. I’m keeping it on during. In fact, I might just stay dressed. I will makeyoucome as many times as you want. I’m thinking that today, if you want, you could drive me totally crazy.”
“How do I do that?”
Gage kissed her neck and said, “You find opportunities to graze, touch, press, and do anything else you can think of, making me need you, and I can’t have you until we’re dismissed for the night.”
“Oh, I see,” she said and reached down between them to cup her. “Like this?”
“Yes,” Gage replied. “And when we go into the bedroom, I’m not going to let you touch me. When you make me come tonight, I’m going to explode after all this wanting.”
“Fuck, Gage,” Carrie said, feeling completely turned on as she continued to rub her.
“Bed. I have plans for you,” Gage stated.
“Hey,” Sharon greeted as she entered the hallway. “Oh, sorry.”
“It’s okay,” Gage said. “We’re in public, right?”
Sharon laughed and replied, “Yeah. And you were last night, too.”
“What?” Carrie asked, shifting her hand to Gage’s hip.
“We heard you; we didn’t see anything. It was too dark, but Debra and I were outside last night. We went for a walk, and we didn’t know it was you two at first, but… Then, we did.”
“Oh, my God.” Carrie put her hand over her mouth and then immediately removed it. “You heard us having sex?”
“Yes. We left shortly after, but, honestly, it was kind of hot. You two sounded good together.”
Sharon looked over at Gage, who nodded.
Carrie knew Gage had been with someone here before their first night together. If on the second night, she hadn’t had sex and had needed to take care of herself in the bathroom, that meant that someone had been Sharon. Gage and Sharon had had sex. Carrie knew she had no right to be jealous, but there it was, that jealousy. Her hand moved back to cup Gage, who looked down in surprise. Sharon followed the movement but didn’t say anything. Her facial expression did the work for her.
“We were just going toourbedroom,” Carrie said.
“And I’m taking a shower. I’ll see you at lunch, I guess,” Sharon replied as if she really couldn’t care less that Carrie was holding on to Gage’s crotch and that she’d just saidourbedroom when referring to her own.
“Um… Babe?”
