her to move away from him because he needed to gain control of his arousal. Having her in his arms had brought his cock to full attention. He was pleased he’d picked a long shirt.
“I’m here whenever you need me. I’ll always be here.”
She nodded her head. “Thank you, Gabriel. You’ve been an angel. I’m going to head up and get some sleep. It’s going to be a long day tomorrow.”
He watched her leave the room, her generous ass swaying in the jeans she wore. Fucking hell, he wanted to tear the jeans from her body and kiss her full, rounded ass. He was going insane. Gabriel turned back to the television. He put on the football and went to grab himself another beer.
His mobile rang, and he answered it quickly, checking the stairs to make sure the noise hadn’t woken the kids up.
“Hello,” he whispered.
“You’re whispering now. Seriously, Gabriel, you’re starting to worry me,” William said on the other end.
Gabriel smiled. William was a true dominant, but he could moan like any woman. “Why are you calling me this late?”
“I’m bored, and I’m thinking of moving. You’re right. The city no longer holds any appeal to me.”
He heard some commotion, and Gabriel knew something bad had happened.
“What’s going on?”
“I’m being closed down. It would seem when politicians start visiting the local fuck scene, the need to fuck over a person’s livelihood is the ideal solution,” William said.
“So have you lost your license for owning a BDSM club and for selling alcohol?” Gabriel asked. He knew how much the club and bar meant to his friend.
“No. I was given a stern warning. I either close up the club and move, or they’ll ruin my reputation and get rid of everything.”
Gabriel had warned William that the force was hoping to close him down. It had only been a matter of time until they went through with it.
“What are you going to do?”
“That town you’ve moved to. Cape Falls. Do you think they’ll accept a club like mine?”
Gabriel burst out laughing. He could already see the outrage through the town if William brought such a club near their area. “Let me just fill you in. You know that girl Amy I was telling you about?” He waited for confirmation before continuing. “Well, she was abused by her husband, and the residents here believe she cheated on him by not standing by his side.”
“Shit. This is the girl you don’t have feelings for but talk about her every moment we talk on the phone?” Gabriel heard the teasing from his friend on the other end of the phone.
“Shut the fuck up.”
“How do the residents cope with your language?”
“They spend most of their time in shock, but I take care of them, so it all works in my favour.”
They both laughed and caught up. Gabriel had missed talking to his friend. William was the only man who understood him.
“I’m going to come and visit you in your little backwards town. Would that be all right?” William asked.
“It would certainly be entertaining. This place doesn’t own a tattoo parlour.”
“This could be fun. We could show CapeFalls what they’ve been missing.”
Gabriel chuckled. “You can stay here as long as you promise to leave Amy alone.”
“Are you claiming her?”
He ran his fingers through his hair. Claiming Amy would be a dream come true. The age gap between kept getting in the way. His passions were also extreme, and he knew she’d only experienced pain with Steven.
“She doesn’t know who I am. I don’t want to scare her off.” Gabriel didn’t want to tell his friend that his needs were slowly changing.
“Gabriel, you need to be open with her. I’ll come and visit and leave your little Amy to you.”
He shut his mobile phone and stared at the match playing on the screen. William visiting CapeFalls would be entertaining, but with him so close, it would only be a matter of time before Amy found out the truth about him. He shut off the television and made his way up
