Gabriella watched him go with dismay. All that work and poof, gone because of one stupid sloppy kiss and a man's wounded pride.

Ben led Gabriella back to the table so he could settle the bill, and she could take a moment to decompress.

After he paid, Ben looked at the woman across from him. He could see the gears working. She was trying to salvage her deal.

"How large of a component was Raphael's product to the deal you worked out for the west coast distributor?" he asked.

"His belts and wallets made up about 20 percent, but without that, the deal falls through."

"Is there another manufacturer you could use to replace him," he asked.

"Yes. There's a company that makes better products, but they weren't interested because they wanted broader distribution. I have the promise of that now, but the window to meet with them is gone. They're all heading off to the trade show circuit in two days, and I'd never get to them in time."

"Make the call to set up a meeting tomorrow. I'll get you ther

    Ben drove into Gabriella's driveway. Gabriella asked Ben to come inside so she could fill him in on the business trip. Once inside she directed her kids to brush their teeth then get to bed immediately afterwards. She gave them kisses. Miriam stopped in front of Ben and he bent down so she could kiss his cheek. He kissed her cheek back and she blushed. Not to be outdone by his sister Daniel stopped for a handshake from Ben then the kids raced upstairs. Gabriella watched them go with a loving smile. They walked into the living room and she grabbed him in a tight hug."Ben! You are such a genius! Arriving on the personal jet was perfect! I got the contract! I put on my big movie star shades and stepped off the plane in my sharpest business dress with a bored look on my face and they were practically kissing my feet. I looked like money so they definitely wanted to do business with me. I played it professional and cool like I was flying in for a number of business meetings and just squee

    "Hi, I'm Ben. Daniel's neighbor. I'm picking him up for his mom." he said.The woman was likely in her forties and super buff. Obviously she'd put in a lot of hours on hardening her muscles and losing body fat. There wasn't an ounce of it on her and she was displaying quite a bit of that toned body wearing her spandex workout clothes. Her short brunette hair hung down and curled in at her neck. She had piercing but lovely pale blue eyes and a strong nose, definitely the most prominent features on her face."Ah yes, he mentioned that you'd be by. Please come in. I'm Gwen." the woman said. Ben stepped inside and immediately felt the heat. The furnace must have been cranked up so she could walk around the house dressed semi-naked like that. He slipped his jacket off of his shoulders and held it in one hand.She passed her eyes hesitantly over his chest muscles filling his shirt so well then turned her head and yelled down the hall. "Boys! Pack up your stuff Daniel, Jr! It's time to go, h

    Tina sighed and wiggled ass against Ben's cock. He rubbed his stiffness up and down the crack of her ass and she began to breathe heavily. Ben felt her nipples stiffen under his fingers. He gave them a gentle squeeze and tug and Tina moaned and bent forward over the island following the pull of his hands.Ben moved his hands back down and pulled her yoga pants down in one tug. Tina sucked in her breath then moaned as she felt his breath on her ass cheeks. He slipped the pants completely off then slid her panties down her legs following them with kisses.Tina squirmed and tried to thrust back but Ben held her against the island with one hand while the other pulled the panties past her feet. He stood and lifted her until her stomach was lying on the island and her ass was perched on the edge. This lifted her feet from the ground so she was trapped over the edge of the island and completely at his mercy. A deep shiver went through her body as his left hand rested on her lower back pinnin

    "Dammit Daphne! You know how I feel about lying! I can't be part of this!" Ban growled.Daphne clung to Ben's arm desperately. "It isn't a lie! It isn't! You're not a financial silent partner. You're a moral silent partner. You're absolutely right. Until they can grasp why what they did was wrong and their responsibility for it they can't work here. I didn't know what else to do! I'm not equipped to discipline them and they're adults now. They've needed a strong hand in their upbringing and I can see now that they didn't have it. Please help me!" she begged with tears in her eyes.Ben rocked back. "I- I've never been a parent! I'm no expert when it comes to disciplining!" he muttered uncomfortably."You have done an amazing job with Tina! They need the same firm hand. You know they listen to you!" Daphne pleaded."Only because they want to have sex with me!" he shouted.She seemed to collapse in on herself and began to cry. Ben reached his own breaking point. He pulled her up against

    "A casino! Okay? Greg is building a casino in Las Vegas." Jacqueline growled. She suddenly got this desperate look on her face like she had to justify herself."We used the foundations money and most of the sponsorship money to purchase the land and pay for construction costs. The remaining sponsorship money would have covered the minimal needs of the charity until the casino was built and income started flowing in from that. No one sees how many churches and schools we build! They're in fucking Africa! This year we were only planning on building one of each. Now we can't afford to do even that! We would have generated far more income from the casino than we would have squeezing those fossils for donations.""If Greg fired you, his chief fundraiser, how is he going to pay the foundation and sponsors back?""I DON'T KNOW! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!" Jacqueline raged and made to grab Catherine but Ben caught her wrists from behind and crossed them over her chest as he pinned her back agains

    Catherine spun around in Ben's arms and kissed him deeply. "Ben, you are the absolute best!"The band started playing one of their favorites so Ben pulled her out onto the dancefloor.Three songs later Ben was sitting one out at their table. His calf had begun to ache so he let Catherine know that fast numbers were out for the rest of the night for him. She found some other dance partners and he was pleased to see her happily dancing the evening away.Ingrid was passing by and Ben reached out to snag her hand. He'd seen her watching people dance but she never joined in. She jumped when she felt someone touch her. She looked down and saw Ben smiling up at her. She blushed and sat in the chair Ben pulled out for her."How are you enjoying the party?" he asked her."It's fine." she said with a shy smile."I was wondering if you would dance with me on the next slow number. I'm afraid I've strained my calf a little too much with the fast dancing so I'm down to slow dancing only."Ingrid's
