Have I mentioned how sexually frustrated I was? Because I was am. Very

And my fingers don’t excite me anymore after Gabriel worked his magic on me.

I don’t just need a release: I need a release from him. I was so desperate for one because a part of me wanted to office door and then suck him under the table.
