Chapter 141: Not your lover or mate
"You already know," Amelie whispered, biting her bottom lip as her eyes met Gabriel’s.
His smirk deepened, desire flashing in his eyes. He responded to her unspoken need as he explored her most sensitive place, guiding her toward waves of pleasure.
As her breath softened and her body trembled in release, his lips claimed hers in a fervent kiss. Her arms instinctively wrapped around his shoulders, fingers locking behind his back as if anchoring herself to the moment.
Without breaking the kiss, Gabriel wrapped his arms around her waist, shifting their positions with ease. The next thing Amelie knew, she was straddling him, his back now resting against the mattress.
When they finally parted, Gabriel brought his hand to her cheek, gently caressing it. She gave in to his touch by shutting her eyes.
The next second, she found herself lying on the bed, tucked inside the blanket, while Gabriel was off the bed.
"You are tired," Gabriel said, telling her he would be back in a moment.
Amelie’s brows knit together, wondering why he left midway. "After leaving me in a mess, he thinks I’ll get sleep," she mumbled. Just then, she yawned and turned to her left.
She moved her legs slightly up, bringing her hand to her belly. "It’s going to be a month. Then, only five months remain. Are you excited, Noa? Gabriel is your father. It still feels unreal whenever he calls you his. But it makes me so happy that you aren’t being judged by the man I’m falling in love with," she whispered, a small smile playing across her lips in admiration.
