months,” Gabriel said leaning forward and taking Ashby’s lips between his own. Ashby leaned forward in
his arms trying to deepen the kiss, but Gabriel pulled back and winked down at his shivering angel.
“Let’s get you in the shower, mon ange,” Gabriel said, walking through their door and shutting it behind
them. Without stopping in the master bedroom he headed straight to the master bath. He gently placed
Ashby on the counter and went to the large stone-tiled walk-in shower. He adjusted the temperature to
something lukewarm, and when he turned back around Ashby had already shrugged out of his shirt and
tank top and was removing his jeans. Gabriel threw the jeans in the corner and stepped between his mate’s
legs.
“When we couldn’t find you, I found myself willing to give up everything, my position, my people,
everything I am, just to get you back.” Gabriel leaned forward and wrapped his arms around Ashby’s waist,
resting his head on his shoulder.
“I’m so sorry, Gabriel, I didn’t mean to lock myself in, I just have this strange history with freezers,”
Ashby started. Gabriel lifted his head.
“What do you mean? You never mentioned this when we spoke.” Gabriel stepped back and removed his
own clothing. He heard a sigh and when he turned back around Ashby was staring at him with a soft smile
on his lips.
“Focus angel, what about you and freezers,” Gabriel said before wrapping Ashby’s legs around his
waist and carrying them both into the shower.
“That water is almost cold!” Ashby protested and Gabriel adjusted the temperature until steam started
misting around them.
“Freezers?” Gabriel asked, nearly getting distracted at the hard length that was poking him in the belly.
Ashby sighed.
“After I bought the ice cream parlor, I didn’t have a lot of money left over so I could only afford an old
and refurbished walk-in freezer for the shop. The first time I locked myself in, it took nearly eight hours for
someone to find me. After the sixth or seventh time, the town kids would check in on me regularly. If they
had to let me out of the freezer I would give them a two-scoop ice cream cone. At the two-year anniversary
of the parlor opening, the town chipped in and bought me a new freezer with a release latch. I think they
were convinced I would accidently kill myself.” Ashby shrugged and looked at Gabriel who was staring at
him with a look of pure terror on his face. With Ashby still wrapped around his waist he walked to the far
side of the walk in stone shower and hit an intercom button. Roman’s voice immediately came on the line.
“Sir?” he asked.
“I want a new walk-in freezer ordered, with a safety latch so that no one can get locked in,” Gabriel said
“Already ordered sir, you destroyed the one we have now,” Roman said flatly.
“I also want a surveillance camera installed inside the freezer,” Gabriel said, smiling when Ashby began
to blush.
“I’m not that bad!” he protested. Gabriel silenced him with a quick kiss.
“Sir, to confirm, you want a surveillance camera placed inside the walk-in freezer?” Roman asked,
sounding only slightly intrigued.
“Yes,” Gabriel said simply.
“I’ll get Beavis and Butthead online to order an all-weather camera. We’ll have it in by the end of the
week,” Roman advised.
“Thank you.” Gabriel pushed the button to end the call.
“You have a telephone in your shower.” Ashby stared at the speaker in the wall.
“Technically it’s an intercom system, it’s only tied to a select few phone numbers. That way those who
have access to me upstairs are restricted.” Gabriel moved them back under the hot water.
“You didn’t have to put in the camera,” Ashby pouted, his lower lip sticking out.
“You are adorable when you argue.” Gabriel swiped his tongue across the protesting lip.
“Gabriel.” Ashby breathed his name and leaned in for a kiss. Gabriel took advantage and plundered his
mate’s mouth, pushing, demanding compliance. He turned to his left and used the hand pump attached to
the side of the shower wall to get some waterproof lube. He reached behind Ashby and began to finger his
mate’s tight hole. He was still partially stretched from the night prior and it didn’t take long until he was
easing Ashby down on his hard cock.
“Not gentle, please,” Ashby begged.
“How do you want it angel?” Gabriel left Ashby fully seated on his prick. Ashby looked Gabriel in the
eye and leaned forward and buried his teeth in Gabriel’s neck.
“Hard. Fuck me with your huge cock.” Ashby’s lips moved against Gabriel’s skin. Gabriel felt his
