Husband With Benefits-Chapter 616: All over you

"Are you sure we can go back? I mean the DNA results have not yet come in..."

Gabe nodded," We can go. And it is only for a few days. It will be a good change of pace for you and Arabelle. As for the DNA results, you are going to have custody of Arabelle unless Gregory makes an appearance. So, there is no restriction on you taking her anywhere.

"But what about the work at the resort?"

"Autumn, everyone working at the resort has been given a paid leave for the next month, until the entire place is ready with a new look. What are you worried about?"

Autumn nodded. The truth was that she was not worried. In fact, she was the opposite of worried. She was excited to go and live in Gabe’s house. Meet the other Frosty girls again. They’d even messaged her that they would have a get together soon. And something else.

Autumn looked at herself in the mirror, as she watched Gabe walk out of the room, her eyes lingering on him. She’d finally come to a decision. She liked Gabe Frost and wanted him to be with her. She didn’t want him to leave her once this entire case was sorted. That was something that she had started to fear. She’d confessed this to Nora on the phone last night and her advice had stuck with her.

"Seduce him and make him fall for you."

She knew of course that she could not make Gabe fall for her. He had a deep love for his dead wife even though he claimed he hated her. Yet, underneath the layer of hatred, she knew there was love.

But even if he couldn’t love her, she could seduce him, right? She knew he was attracted to her. He’d made that abundantly clear. There was only one problem, however... She didn’t know how to seduce him? She’d tried searching on them, but those things were too wild and made her feel conscious.

So, she would ask Nora and the other women for advice. After all, they were all more experienced than her. They would be able to help. And until then, she could prepare herself mentally as well...

As she was lost in thoughts, a knock on the door had her come out of her reverie. She looked up to see Gabe, holding a box in his hands as he extended it to her," There’s a package here for you. Its from Nora"

She turned away from the mirror and quickly grabbed the package from his hand, wondering what she could have sent. Just then, her phone dinged with a message notification and she read the message," Sent something for you to start."

"Thank you." Quickly, she placed the box aside and returned to her work.

"Aren’t you going to see it?"

Autumn shook her head wildly, "Not now. I’ll open it later."

Gabe looked at her curiously first and then at the package, his brows raised. Knowing Nora, there was going to be something in that, which might shock Autumn.

"Do you know what she sent?"

Autumn shook her head vehemently," No."

That made him pause. Leaning against the door, he cocked his head and stared," You know.."

"I don’t. Trust me!" Autumn widened her eyes and shook her head as she darted another glance at the package.

Gabe’s grin widened and as he made a grab for the package, so did Autumn.

"Ahhhh!" Autumn screamed as Gabe caught the package and threatened," Give it to me!"

Gabe’s grin widened as he held the package higher, just out of Autumn’s reach. "Give it to me!" he teased, his voice filled with laughter.

Autumn jumped, trying to catch the package, but Gabe was too tall and quick. "This is getting curiouser and curiouser. Uh huh. You’re not getting it until you promise to open it in front of me."

Autumn stomped her foot in frustration," Give it to me or else!"

"Or what are you going to do?" Gabe goaded her. Narrowing her eyes, Autumn moved quickly, taking him by surprise. She pushed him onto the bed with a determined shove. As he landed, she swiftly straddled his waist, using the element of surprise to her advantage, and snatched the package from his hand.

However, her luck was shortlived, because before she could escape, he rolled over, pinning her beneath him. Autumn gasped, finding herself trapped under Gabe, their faces inches apart. They stared at each other, both panting, as they looked at each other, the package on the side forgotten.

Gabe’s gaze softened as he looked into her eyes, and for a heartbeat, it felt as if the world had disappeared around them. Then, with a chuckle, he let go, rolling off her and lying on his back beside her, still panting,"Okay, okay, you win."

As Autumn clutched the package to her chest and moved away, he sighed," I think it has lingerie inside. What I am trying to guess is, what does Nora think I like?"

Autumn almost dropped the package at Gabe’s comment and shook her head," It can’t be. Why would she send something? And its for me not for..."

She paused her explanation when she realized what he’d said. "You like? This is for me..."

Gabe gave a mysterious smile at that and showed a message on his phone," I sent a little bit of ’something’ for Autumn. I’m sure you’ll like it."

"She sent you a message?" But I really don’t know what it has..."

Picking up a pair of scissors, Gabe brought it to her,"Then lets find out."

With trembling hands, Autumn opened the package and shook out it’s contents...and then wanted to bury herself as Gabe laughed infectiously. Unable to help herself, Autumn giggled too as she saw the contents... it was...It was lingerie alright... With Gabe’s face printed on the top two cups and the small triangle...

Autumn’s face turned beet red as she held up the skimpy outfit, unable to decide if she wanted to laugh or cry. And then she read the note," Wear this and he’ll be all over you..."

The note caused them to laugh more... Of course he would be on her... at least the pictures would.
