Chapter 619: Very Soon
"I can’t believe Bianca is dead," Autumn sighed once more as she walked out of the room, only to stop short at the sight of Gabe in the kitchen, snapping her out of her melancholy thoughts. She stilled. Holy shi*. This man was too hot. Back home, he usually wore casual clothes or lounge wear. Even when he went to the hotel, he would dress down...
But this was something else entirely...He stood there, in front of the coffee machine, making coffee, but effortlessly commanding the space in a well-fitted suit that accentuated his strong shoulders and a pair of tailored pants that hinted at a physique Autumn hadn’t fully appreciated until now. Actually, she’d appreciated it. But she’d never imagined that he would look that good in a suit.
He turned then and his gaze immediately snagged hers. Autumn’s knee-jerk reaction was to look away, but something in his gaze warned her to not look away. It would be too much like backing down and surrendering. His lips kicked up in a smile as he watched her raise her chin and stare back at him.
Gabe’s eyes traveled slowly from her eyes down to her feet, taking in every detail with an appraising glance that made Autumn acutely aware of herself. The way he looked at her always made her skin tingle, as if he could see right through her. It was both thrilling and unnerving.The air between them crackled with an unspoken tension, amplified by the intensity of his gaze.
Finally, breaking the silence, he remarked casually, "Are you wearing ’that’?"
Autumn blinked at the question and distracted by him walking towards her. Colouring a little, she shook her head just as he reached her. He leaned down and whispered," Too bad. I want to be all over you, Autumn. Wear it..."
Before she could say something, Gabe leaned in and kissed her softly as she returned his kiss. The kiss felt like a drug these days. She needed them every day. And the more she had, the more she wanted. As she parted her lips to deepen the kiss, she heard the sound of pattering feet and stepped back.
Just then, Arabelle came running in, her eyes wide with surprise as she saw Gabe. She stopped short, just like Autumn had moments before and Autumn felt smug. See! She was not the only one who had been shocked by his overly handsome look. Unlike her though, Arabelle did not pause to appreciate the man.
"Wow, Mister Gabriel, you look so handsome today!" she exclaimed, spreading her hands wide for him to pick her up.
