Gabriel stuck out his tongue, tracing it over Alie’s lips, whose fingers curled in anticipation. Every ti he would kiss her, she would feel sothing very strange in the deeper part of her heart. A feeling that was hard to ignore.
"Don’t want to kiss?" He asked as he stopped for a brief mont. She wasn’t moving her lips but only staring at him in disbelief.
"You startled ," she whispered.
Gabriel kissed the lower part of her chin, then the center of her exposed throat, making her bit her bottom lip. Before she knew, his lips had found a sensitive spot on the region where her neck t her shoulder. However, he had no intention to simply put a kiss there. Instead, he wanted to mark his territory, the place where his mark would show to everyone soon.
Gabriel grazed his teeth over that spot.
"What are you doing? Ahhh!" The mont she finished her question, she cried out loudly as his teeth nipped her skin, turning the spot completely red.
"Mmmph." A soft moan escaped her mouth. The pain was replaced with a gentle, sloppy kiss. Her eyes were shut and she was eager for his lips to fall on hers.
But Gabriel wasn’t done yet. He continued his sweet assault on her neck. "I want to hear more of those sounds from you," he murmured against her skin, his voice rough with desire. His kisses traveled up to her jawline before his mouth finally claid hers.
Her entire weight lted into him, his arm wrapped around her lower back sliding with an ease that left her trembling. Her lips parted too, kissing him with the sa rhthym, a slower one as he intended to keep this pace.
A knock at the door broke the heated kiss between them. Startled, Alie quickly pulled away, sliding to the edge of the bed as she tried to steady her breathing. Her cheeks were flushed, her lips still tingling from the effect of the kiss.
Gabriel let out a low chuckle at her reaction, taking a few deep breaths himself before raising his voice.
"Don’t co inside," he called out, as if already aware soone was about to barge in. "Speak from the hallway."
There was a pause for a second. "Ewan wishes to see you," Karn announced.
"I’ll see him in the morning," Gabriel replied.
With that, Karn walked away.
Gabriel turned his attention back to the bed, his gaze softening as he approached. He sat beside her, resting a comforting hand on her shoulder. Alie, still slightly breathless, finally turned to et his eyes.
He tilted his head and gently brushed his fingers over the love bite he had given her earlier. "You look beautiful with this mark," Gabriel murmured, his voice deep and possessive. "Right here, this is where I intend to mark you properly soday. A place that tells the world you belong to . That way, no one will dare to look at you with ill intentions."
Alie instinctively touched the spot on her neck, causing the heat to rise on her cheeks once more. "You make it sound like n are going crazy over ."
"n are beasts, Alie. Haven’t you realized that?" Gabriel said with a smirk. "And you... you have a face that can tempt even the most restrained."
She chuckled softly, lowering her gaze. "That’s a strange way to tell soone they’re pretty."
"You’re not just pretty," Gabriel said, his tone earnest now. "You’re beautiful. And when you smile, it’s like watching your beauty multiply."
Her smile began to fade at his words, her expression turning serious. "Thank you... for making feel important," she whispered. "Sotis, it still feels unreal... that I’m with you, Prince Gabriel."
"Because I have a reputation?" he asked, eyes narrowing just slightly. "Because I’m known for my darkness? For not being serious with anyone?"
"No," she shook her head. "Because Prince Gabriel chose a rejected, pregnant oga. That’s what amazes . I ca to you with a strange request, sothing anyone else would’ve mocked, but you didn’t. You helped and didn’t force after that. You never judged ."
"You must not have t many good people then," he said softly, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "I’m not a good man either... but to you, I’ll try to be."
Alie smiled faintly, but her thoughts drifted back to earlier. "Ewan... you should help him. Whatever he’s done, his mate didn’t deserve to suffer."
Gabriel’s jaw tensed slightly. "Let him taste the consequences of his actions first. I know what I’m doing, Alie."
She didn’t press further. "Alright," she whispered, standing up. "I’ll go now—"
But before she could take a step, Gabriel slipped his arms around her waist from the side and rested his head on her shoulder, pulling her gently back to him. Tilting his head to look up into her eyes, he murmured, "I told you... stay with . I don’t want you to leave."
Her breath caught in her throat. The sincerity in his eyes, the warmth of his embrace, it was nearly impossible to resist.
"Okay," Alie agreed softly, unable to hide the smile tugging at her lips.
"You know how to dance, don’t you?" Gabriel asked, his tone turning playful as he finally lifted his head from her shoulder.
"I do... but I’m not that skilled at it," she confessed, brushing her hair back. "I almost forgot... Do we really have to dance at the gala?"
"Of course!" Gabriel exclaid, a smug grin forming on his face. "We’ll dance together and steal the entire lilight. Let everyone see who you belong to."
Alie simply humd and smiled at him.
"If you wish to go sowhere or do anything, you can tell . I’ll fulfill them for you," Gabriel told her.
"I don’t have anything in the mind. I liked the sacred garden you took to. The sight is remarkable there after moonlight falls in that region," Alie admitted.
"Then, we can go there frequently for walks," Gabriel suggested. He couldn’t resist the mont she smiled and again pressed his mouth on hers.
