Chapter 132: It feels insanely good
Pleasure?
Amelie realized how foreign that word felt, how distant it had always been. With Alex, she had never truly known what it meant.
The affection he gave her had been enough at the time, not because it fulfilled her, but because she had never known anything more. Deprived of real love all her life, even the smallest gestures of care had felt precious.
But Gabriel... Gabriel had been different from the very beginning. He never looked at her with pity, but with a woman he wanted to keep by his side.
She was the answer to his unknown questions.
He had seen her in her most vulnerable time, heard her when no one did and cared for her in every step of the way.
And even now, with desire burning in his eyes, it was her comfort and needs he put first.
She breathed deeply as her eyes remained fixed on the ceiling. Gabriel’s lips trailed a path of fire from the soft valley between her breasts down to her stomach. Every kiss he placed on her skin was open-mouthed, leaving behind a warm, tingling imprint that made her shiver.
"What are you thinking about?" Gabriel’s voice came in a low murmur, his lips now hovering just below her navel. His breath brushed her skin, sending waves of anticipation through her.
Amelie’s gaze snapped to his, drawn in by the depth of them.
"I hope it’s not the past," he said firmly, yet gently, before pressing a lingering kiss over her navel. "Because I won’t allow it to exist here... between us."
