Chapter 204: Your grief consume you
Amelie blew gently over her soapy hands, watching the tiny bubbles float into the air. One drifted close, and she popped it with her fingertip, a small smile playing on her lips.
Gabriel watched her in silence, his heart fluttering at the simple joy on her face. Even with everything threatening to pull them apart, these moments still found their way to them.
"Ame," he whispered her name like a prayer.
She turned at once and met his gleaming eyes. "Hmm?"
Before she could speak further, his lips captured hers in a soft kiss. His one hand slipped into her hair, caressing her scalp as he drew her closer. When they finally pulled apart with a faint pop, Gabriel didn’t let go, instead, he gently lifted her into his arms.
The soapy water slid down their bodies as he carried her into the shower room with care.
Amelie’s cheeks flushed deep red, her thoughts swirling as she realized what was about to happen. She shyly turned her back to him and reached for the tap, turning on the water. As the warm spray hit her skin, her chest rose and fell with anticipation.
She gasped quietly when she felt him press against her from behind.
Gabriel leaned in and found her earlobe, biting it tenderly and drawing a soft moan from her lips. His hands slowly traveled the curves of her body as his mouth left warm kisses along her neck.
