Husband With Benefits-Chapter 559: The Swing (2)

As Gabe placed Arabelle back on her feet, he answered affectionately, "Sorry, miss Arabelle. You’re just too fast for me so I have to make sure that I catch you."

Arabelle beamed at the praise and turned to look at Autumn. A look passed between the two sisters and the next minute, Autumn crept up behing Gabe and tapped him on his shoulder," Tag. It looks like you’re it again..."

With laughter echoing the two sisters then raced away from him as he narrowed his eyes," Oh! You’re going to regret that..."

It took her a moment to realise she’d really miscalculated as he turned his attention to her, chasing her relentlessly, as his long strides quickly covered the distance between them. Panicking, she darted around the swing set, trying to use that as a barrier. But even so, she was almost caught, as his fingers grazed her back, missing her barely as she managed to slip away.

As they raced around breathlessly, Autumn thought she saw someone outside the back fence and was distracted for a moment... only to be almost caught by Gabe at that point. He’d almost caught her when she realized the danger and as she tried to run away with a squeal, his arm crept around her and caught her around the waist, lifting her off the ground.

Shocked and a little thrilled, Autumn squealed and squirmed in his grip while Gabe twirled her around as easily as he had down Arabelle who was now laughing and clapping.

"Do that for me as well..." Arabelle squealed as she bounded towards the couple. Distracted, Gabe turned to look at Arabelle, only to lose his balance in the soft grass as his foot slipped.

Gabe tried to break the fall, but only barely managed, a sound of pain escaping him as they hit the ground. His hold around Autumn tightened instinctively, protecting her from the brunt of the fall.

Autumn found herself sprawled on top of Gabe, their faces inches apart, both breathless from the chase. His eyes met hers, filled with concern. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice strained but gentle.

"Yes, I’m fine," she replied, her cheeks flushed. "Are you?"

"I’ll live," he said with a pained smile, shifting slightly to make sure she was comfortable.

Arabelle grinned down at the two of them on the ground, her eyes sparkling as she screamed," Time for an Autumn sandwich..."

Letting go of her own weight, Arabelle fell on top of Autumn, squishing her into Gabe. A sudden tension took her over as she realized her precarious position. She could feel every inch of his hard contours against her, with her breasts squishing against his chest.. and was his hand caressing the side of her waist?

Her breath catching in her throat, she tried to move, only to find herself secured between these two people. Finally, Arabelle moved off her and she was able to jump off Gabe... As she tried to push off him, she realized she’d been clutching onto his shirt and even managed to tear off a button. Holding it in her fist, she hurriedly grabbed the empty pitcher from the side and raced inside," I’m too tired to play anymore. I’ll go inside."

Gabe, still on his back, watched her run inside and willed himself to breathe slowly. Arabelle had already run off to see some worm so she was saved from embarrassment. What had just happened? ’Little’ Gabe had chosen this moment of all the time to come awake...

With a wince, he moved and realized he’d probably even hurt his back. He was not too young anymore. As he walked inside, he paused when he heard a voice. Someone was in the house? freewёbnoνel.com

His eyes sharpened and his steps slowed as he tried to recognise the voice. It was the woman... what was her name? Miss Bianca... It seemed she was trying to explain herself...

"Its only a matter of time. I promise you I will separate from him. I confess that I did wrong. I was selfish for a moment. I’ve always had a crush on Pierce and I thought..."

Autumn remained silent and Gabe remained quiet as well, thinking intently. Why were these people intent on getting her to forgive them. Was this some kind of odd feeling of guilt the couple was feeling or was this some trap. If the two had chosen to betray her, then it was clear that they did not care about her. Or was this the Nora and Sara situation?

As expected when she got no reply from the apologizing and reassurance, she moved onto the next plan of attack. Making her doubt herself and attacking him and their relationship.

"How are you even with Gabe Frost. He was there in my office when you came that day, crying about Pierce. So, he knows all that. Is this some kind of a contract marriage? What are the terms of your contract. And don’t try to tell me that it is not. I know you. You would never let a man come near you until were in love with him. So I know this is not a real marriage...

Before Bianca could say more, Gabe walked out from behind the wall and met the woman’s eyes, while calling out Autumn’s name," You didn’t tell me we are having guests over, Autumn. Who is this?" Without waiting for an answer,however, he cast a glance at Autumn and tsked," Now look at what happened. Your hair is all mussed up. It makes me feel as if you’ve just climbed out of my bed.. Tsk tsk.. Come here..." As he walked to her, he pulled the satin scrunchie from her hair. Gathering her hair from the nape of her neck, he casually tied her hair in a high pony while Biance could only look on...

Once the pony was tied up, he leaned down and placed a casual kiss on the nape of her nack before turning to look at Bianca...
