And I especially can’t care for him.
Yet, I don’t push him away as he kisses me deeper.
In one smooth motion, he pulls me onto the floor and leans over me.
“Why did you kill Chip?” I ask, staring up into his intense eyes. He looks like he wants to consume me whole.
“Because he was getting on my fucking nerves.”
“Was that truly the reason?”
“Yes.”
For some reason, my heart deflates a little. “Theonlyreason?”
“Not the only reason,” he admits before kissing me again. “I need to taste you. All of you.”
I don’t stop him as he kisses down my neck towards my chest. My dress is in the way and for the first time, I wish I could yank it off me and expose my body to him. What is happening here? I don’t understand it and I know I should fight it but I don’t seem to have it in me.
He flips the end of my dress up around my waist. My bare lower body is on full display for him.
“What are you doing?” I ask, even though I know what he’s about to do. I just have to hear him say it. I have to know that this is all real.
“I’m going to taste you.” He props my legs up around my waist, spreading them wide. I flush. Never have I been this exposed to someone before. I’m not ashamed of my body but it’s still a vulnerable position to be in.
My heart is pounding in my chest. Despite my nerves, I don’t stop Gabriel from putting his face between my legs.
The second his lips find my nub, I cry out. I wax down there, so I’m fully bare. My mom would always ask why I would wax sinceI wasn’t sexually active but I did it for myself. I’ve always hated hair on my body. But now I’m grateful there’s nothing in the way down there. I can feel everything Gabriel is doing to me with his tongue.
He rolls it around my nub and around my folds before brushing it against my entrance opening. I let my eyes close and sink into the moment, forgetting that Gabriel is a man I should hate. Instead, I want to just feel with him. I want to experience these things for the first time in my life.
I’ve been picky about men. No one was good enough for me. Gabriel is the worst of the worst. He’s a kidnapper. A murderer. And yet, he’s powerful. Handsome. Rich. He rivals Luca in status.
That’s the kind of man for me. One who can take over the world.
But does that put me at odds with my sister? It’s a thought I push from my mind as Gabriel pleasures me with his mouth. I just want to feel this. Only this.
He runs his tongue around my nub, over and over and over again. My hips buck up into his face. Shame is a distant thought right now. All I can think about is Gabriel giving me pleasure. How good it all feels.
He grips my thighs tightly in his strong hands. I cry out as a wave of pleasure shoots through me. Every flick of his tongue gets me closer and closer to my orgasm. I can’t hold back. It’s too much. Too much. Too…
A moan escapes my mouth as my orgasm rips its way through me. Gabriel continues to pleasure me with his mouth as I ride it out. It’s only when my body stops trembling that he pulls back and stares down at me with a smirk.
“What was that for?” I gasp, trying to take in deep breaths.
“To show you that you’re mine now. Only mine.”
I shiver at his words. I can’t be Gabriel’s and we both know it. I’m not even sure I want to be with him. I just know that I’m drawn to him. His darkness and power. It speaks to me.
And that scares me more than anything.
“You saved my life,” I murmur, pushing my dress down and sitting up. Gabriel doesn’t comment on it. “Why did you save my life?”
“I didn’t want Chip hurting you.”
“Only you can hurt me?”
A dark grin crosses his face. “Exactly.”
