“I’m going to take a look at the lake,” I lie.
Lucy smiles up at me with the most beautiful little face I have ever seen. I rush out the door and immediately dial Mark’s number.
“Hey,” he answers.
“Hi, change of plans.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m going to spend the night here.”
“What? I thought you were there to say goodbye.”
“I am.” I pause as I look over the lake. “It’s just…not as easy as I first thought.”
“Well…what should I do?” he asks.
“Just stay in the hotel and…” I shrug, “…I’ll come and get you in the morning.”
“Okay. Enjoy every second, okay?”
We are now counting the time with my children in seconds, I get a lump in my throat at the thought.
I hang up and turn back toward the house. Standing in the darkness, I can see Sarah and Lucia washing the dishes as they chat away. I’ve never felt so out of control of my life.
“Lucy, show Gabriel where my bedroom is, please?” Sarah tells her.
“This way,” Lucia says, she takes my hand in hers as she leads me through the house.
“What cute little hands you have.” I smile.
She holds them both up for me to look at and I try to memorize every detail.
I feel sick to my stomach.
Why did I snap at Dominic?

I feel like shit about it, but he will not disrespect me. Not now, not ever.
No, I did the right thing.
We get to the top of the stairs. “And this is my room.” Lucía smiles proudly as she shows me her room. It’s pink and pretty and has big letters on the wall that spell out her name. Dolls and teddy bears are all perfectly sitting up against her pillow. “It’s very nice.”
“It is.” She smiles as she swings her arms.
My eyes linger up the hallway. “Where is Dominic’s room?”
“This way.” She skips past me out of the room and down the hall to his. “He’s in here.”
I stand at the doorway and watch him for a moment, he’s sitting on his bed and playing a video game. I look around his bedroom, it’s navy blue and boyish. Instead of dolls, there are Lego statues proudly displayed everywhere.
“This is a nice room.”
He keeps playing his game, completely ignoring me.
“Dominic, don’t be rude,” Sarah tells him from behind me. “Get off your game, please.”
He exhales heavily and puts the controller down.
“I said, it’s a nice room,” I repeat.
Dominic looks me dead in the eye without any emotion. “Is that all?” He is like me.
I bite the inside of my cheek to stop myself from smirking. “I don’t want us to get off on the wrong foot,” I
tell him.
He rolls his eyes and it’s like waving a red flag in front of a bull.
“Did you just roll your eyes at me?”
“Dominic, don’t be rude; this is your last warning.” Sarah pulls me by the hand up the hall. “Your room is this way, Gabriel.” She pulls me into her bedroom and slams the door behind us. “Stay away from him
and let him cool down.”
“What?”
“I told you to give him time, he’s processing.”
“Processing what…being a rude prick?”

“You being here. He’s a child,” she spits. “And now you are being one.
Stay in here and go to sleep.”
“No,” I spit. “I will not be sent to my room when I have done nothing wrong.”
“For the love of god, do not leave this room. You can talk to him properly in the morning. Sleep is a reset for children, everything is forgotten overnight,” she snaps, through gritted teeth. She grabs my two shoulders and walks me over to the bed and then pushes me backward. I bounce onto my back and something about her standing over me sends an unexpected surge through my cock.
I feel myself harden as I stare up at her.
“What?” she snaps.
“What, what?” I splutter, disgusted where my thoughts have gone.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Like what?” An unwelcome smirk flashes across my face.
“The hell is wrong with you, what are you doing?”
“If you throw me onto your bed, expect a damn consequence.” I sit up on my elbows.
“Oh my god.” She narrows her eyes. “You’re perverted.”
“Glad we finally agree on something.”
“Go to sleep and do not snoop through my bedroom.”
“Don’t flatter yourself.”
“The bathroom is down the hall.” She leaves the room in a rush and slams the door behind her.
I flop onto my back and stare up at the ceiling. I grab a pillow and put it under my head.
Sarah’s scent wafts all around me and I inhale deeply.
I know that smell…
It’s the perfume she used to wear that drove me wild.
On more than one occasion I had to tell her not to wear it because on the days she did, I would get nothing done; I’d be too busy wanking in my office bathroom all day.

I close my eyes. Throb…throb…throb…goes my cock.
I pick up another pillow, same scent. I look over to see her dressing gown hanging on the back of her door and I get up and hold it to my nose.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump goes my cock…
Everything in here smells like Sarah in Techni–dick–sucking–color.
Damn, that fucking woman pisses me off.
I hold the gown to my face again and inhale deeply.
All I can smell is Vee. A lingering memory of that night we spent together begins to play in my mind. Her creamy pale skin, how tight she was…how well she took my cock.
How hard I blew.
Throb….throb…throb…
Stop it…you’re about to get married to someone else…you fucking sleazebag.
I exhale heavily, disgusted with my dick. Fuck…it’s going to be a long night.
I glance at the time on my phone, 2 a.m.
I haven’t slept a wink, a rock–hard cock with nowhere to go will do that to you.
Tossing and turning and trying to think of something else.
The reality is that I’m not going to get any sleep until I come, there’s no way around this. It’s not going
down.
I put my hand into my boxer shorts and give myself a slow, long stroke… hmmm.
I need to fuck myself…been a long time since I’ve done that.
My eyes roam around the darkened bedroom for some lube or tissues. I climb out of bed and turn the flashlight on my phone and walk around, looking for my wanking toolkit.
I go through the contents on the dressing table and nothing.

Hmm…the bathroom.
Surely there will be something in there. I open the door and peer down the darkened hallway, everything is silent. I look left and I look right and then I tiptoe down the hallway, using my phone flashlight to light
the way.
Thump, thump, thump goes my cock.
Seriously…shut the hell up, I’m trying my best here.
I walk into the bathroom and quietly close the door behind me. Shining my flashlight onto the bathroom cupboard, I spot a bottle of baby oil.
Yes…
I grab it and the box of tissues and turn to leave when the bathroom door opens.
“Ahh.” Sarah jumps in fright and flicks the light on. “What the…you scared the crap out of me.” Her eyes drop down my body. “What the hell is that?”
I glance down to see what she’s talking about to see the tip of my erect cock is sticking out the top of my
boxer shorts.
Fuck.
“Oh… That’s my cock.”
“I can see that,” she whispers angrily. “Why is it hard?”

“It’s not.”
“Yes. It is.”
Oh god…
“Why are you even looking at my private business?” I whisper.
“Because your troublemaking private business is hanging out in my bathroom.”
“I take offense,” I splutter as I feel the situation spiraling out of control. “And for your information, he is not a troublemaker, he’s a problem solver.”
“There are no problems to solve in this house,” she whispers angrily. “Put it away.” She rushes out of the bathroom and I hear her stomp up the hall.
I look down at myself, oil in one hand, tissues in the other, with my hard dick half hanging out of my boxer shorts. I’ve hit the bottom of the barrel. Fuck.
Morning light shines through the windows and I sit on the edge of the bed fully dressed. I glance at my watch for the tenth time.
6:54 a.m.
What time does everyone get up in this house?
I’m usually up and dressed and on my way to work long before this.
I walk over to the window and open the curtains and look out at the view.
The sun is just rising, and there is a fog hanging over the lake, the sounds of birds chirp in the distance and trees sway in the wind. The view from up here is something else.
It’s beautiful, serene.
Unlike me.
I’ve spent the night horny and wanking, wondering if Dominic will come around and speak to me today before I leave, and then there’s the national disaster of the 2 a.m. bathroom visit… Hell, what a night.

She’s right, my dick is a troublemaker, a huge pain in my ass.
One thing is for certain: I’m still physically attracted to Sarah.
Which is an absolute nightmare because I’m marrying someone else in four weeks‘ time.
Creak…go the floorboards from up the hall, someone’s awake. I hear the bathroom door, and five minutes later, I hear the toilet flush, and then I hear the stairs go as someone walks down them.
Who was that, was it Sarah?
My mind goes back to the horror of being caught with a hard–on and a bottle of oil at 2 a.m.
Ugh, how the hell do I talk myself out of that one?
Pretend it didn’t happen.
I’m going with that.
My door opens slightly and I turn to see two little brown eyes staring at me through the crack.
“Good morning, Lucia.” I tap the bed beside me. “Come in.”
She pushes the door open and smiles up at me. “Good morning.” My heart somersaults in my chest.
She’s all crumpled and sleepy, the cutest thing I ever saw in her little pink pajamas.
“How did you sleep?” I ask her as she walks in. “Good.” She stands beside me. “How did you sleep?” “I’ve had better nights.” I shrug.
She puts her little hand on my kneecap as we talk and oh… This day is perfect already.
“Where is your mom?”
“Downstairs.” We sit for a moment in silence. “Shall we go see Momma?” she eventually asks. “She likes to
hug me good morning.”
“I bet she does.” I smile, damn if she isn’t the sweetest. “Let me get dressed and I’ll meet you down there.”
She looks me up and down. “But you’re already dressed.”
The truth is that I don’t want to face Sarah yet, I’m stalling. This walk of shame is particularly rough. I glance down at myself as I search for an excuse not to come now. “I need to go to the bathroom.” “Oh.” She looks at me. “To do a poo?” What the fuck?
“I don’t think that’s something you should say to someone.”

“A wee, then?”
“Let’s not talk about bodily functions, shall we?” I frown. “A bodily what?” Jeez–uz.
“I’ll meet you downstairs,” I say, a little sterner.
“Okay.” With her little hand still on my knee, she smiles up at me as if waiting for me to say something.
“Okay…” I widen my eyes at her. What is she waiting for, am I supposed to say something here?
“Okay.” She keeps staring up at me all doe–eyed and it dawns on me, she’s as unsure what to do now as I
- am.
“I’m glad I met you,” I tell her.
Happiness beams from her smile, and just for a moment I feel my heart leave my chest. I push the hair back from her forehead as I stare at her
beautiful little face. “You’re a lot like your mom.”
She gives a nervous little chuckle. “You look like Dom.”
My heart sinks. “Where is he?”
“Still sleeping.”
Hmm… Suddenly, I want to get downstairs quickly, I want to be down there before him. “Okay, run along and I’ll see you downstairs.”
She skips out of the room, and I watch her disappear as I smile after her. That was the best wake–up visit
of all time.
I go to the bathroom and wash my face and with trepidation slowly walk down the stairs. I can hear Sarah and Lucia talking and I stop midway up to listen to what they are saying.
“Where’s Dom?” Sarah asks.
“Jupiter.”
“What do you mean?”
“The boys went to Jupiter to all get stupider.”
“I don’t think that’s very nice to boys, do you?”
“But it’s just a joke, don’t you get it?”

“Not a funny one.”
I find myself smiling as I listen to them talk, and they chatter on for a good while. It dawns on me that listening in on them is as creepy as all hell, so I step heavily on the bottom step so they hear me coming. “Good morning,” I say as I walk into the kitchen.
Lucia smiles broadly. “Good morning.”
“Morning.” Sarah grumbles with her back to me as she makes her coffee.
I pull out a chair at the dining table and take a seat, my eyes linger on her rounded tight ass and my cock twinges in appreciation.
Stop!
“What’s happening today?” I ask to take my mind off the situation.
Sarah turns toward me, and for the first time I see her face, makeup free and tousled hair.
Oh…she’s so lovely.
“You’re leaving,” she says abruptly.
My dick shrivels.
I nod, ashamed of my moonlight behavior.
She sips her coffee as her eyes hold mine.
I have no idea what’s going through her head right now, but I’m sure it’s evil.
I should have worn an armored vest.
“Apologies for…” I widen my eyes. “You know.”
“Not accepted.” She glares at me. “Do you want a coffee?”
“Sure.” I fake a smile. This is awkward as fuck. “Thank you.”
”
She turns to the coffee machine and my eyes drop down her body and linger on her ass once again. I feel a rush of blood to my loins.
Lock it up.

She passes me the cup of coffee. “I’m going out to hang the washing on the line,” she tells Lucia. “Are you okay in here with Gabriel?” Lucia smiles broadly over at me. “Yes.” Pride fills me.
