Chapter 179 Super Happy, Super Sweet 1
Jessica's face flushed in an instant.
The bathroom was already steamy and warm, and the alcohol in her system wasn't helping.
After Gabriel teased her, her face was practically on fire.
She admitted it; she liked him.
She wanted to do all those sweet, happy things with him.
But sex? She wasn't ready for that yet.
They had just confessed their feelings, even though both had been married before and had done those intimate things.
But back then, sex felt like an obligation. She didn't dare to have expectations.
Now, she wanted it to be about love. She had hopes and dreams.
She wanted everything to be perfect, to happen naturally, not rushed.
Seeing Jessica just biting her lip with a flushed face, Gabriel quickly understood. "Hey, if you're not ready, you don't have to. Just tell me."
"Will you be mad?" Jessica asked cautiously.
Gabriel let out a sexy laugh and said softly, "Why would I be mad?"
"Because..." Jessica bit her lip, her cheeks pink like a blooming rose.
She was too shy to say the rest. "Because they all say that if a man wants to have sex, holding back is very hard."
"It is hard." Gabriel said.
"Huh?" Jessica looked up, her face filled with worry.
"But I don't want to force you. I admit I want to, but it's not just an impulse. Holding you like this, I can't help myself."
"I don't want just sex. I want to be with you, to cherish you, and wait until you're ready."
After saying that, Gabriel planted a deep kiss on Jessica's forehead.
Then he turned to leave.
Seeing him turn away, Jessica suddenly felt anxious.
Without thinking, she grabbed Gabriel's waist and urgently asked, "Where are you going?"
Gabriel reached out, ruffling her hair affectionately, and said, "You're so possessive. You won't meet me halfway, and you won't let me leave. Jessica, do you know how tempting you are right now? I'm afraid if I stay any longer, I'll lose control."
"You take a shower first. I need to go out and cool down, get some fresh air, or I might lose it."
Hearing his words, Jessica looked down and realized her clothes were completely soaked.
She was wearing a blouse, a muslin material that had become translucent from the hot water.
Under the light, it was faintly visible and full of temptation.
Realizing this, she quickly covered herself and turned around.
Gabriel chuckled, knowing she was shy.
"I'll wait for you outside."
With that, he left the bathroom.
As soon as he left, Gabriel grabbed a large bottle of cold water from the fridge and drank it down, while also taking off his jacket and turning down the air conditioner.
He lit a cigarette, trying hard to calm himself down.
However, all his efforts were in vain when Jessica walked out wrapped in a towel.
Despite everything, the moment he saw her, the fire in his heart reignited, and he quickly became hot all over again.
"Gabriel, I'm done showering. Do you want to go next?"
Before Jessica could finish her sentence, Gabriel's lips were on hers again, more intense this time, like a fierce lion.
She had no room to retreat, completely dominated by him, and could only stand on tiptoe to match his height.
Eventually, her feet started to ache from standing on tiptoe.
Gabriel noticed and, without breaking the kiss, picked Jessica up and placed her on the sofa.
Now, their heights were reversed.
Jessica stood tall, while Gabriel was the shorter one.
But even so, he still held the upper hand.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Gabriel reluctantly let her go, gently touching her nose with his, his voice still hot. "I can't get enough of kissing you. What should I do?"
With his teasing, the blush that had just faded from Jessica's face instantly returned.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
After saying that, Jessica shyly lowered her head.
At the same time, her heart felt as sweet as honey, filled with happiness.
It turns out that love can really be so sweet that the whole heart is nourished with happiness and joy.
Right now, she felt true happiness.
So happy that she almost doubted if everything in front of her was real.
"Be a good girl and wait here until I get out of the shower." Gabriel dotingly rubbed her head and gently admonished.
"Okay!" Jessica nodded obediently.
In the bathroom, Gabriel turned the water temperature to the lowest setting.
His whole body was burning, and he could only keep cooling himself with cold water, over and over again.
Until his body cooled down and his mood calmed, he finally left the bathroom.
As he went out, Gabriel felt anxious, afraid that seeing her again would reignite his strong desire.
However, when he noticed the room was quiet, with only the sound of the TV, and saw Jessica asleep on the sofa, his heart warmed.
Walking quietly, Gabriel approached.
Seeing her sleeping soundly on the sofa with a smile on her lips, he couldn't help but smile too.
Bending down, he gently picked Jessica up and placed her on the bed.
Thinking about her nervousness and hesitation earlier, Gabriel covered her with a blanket and left the bedroom.
Taking off his shoes, he lay down on the sofa.
He made so many mistakes before.
This time, he wanted to cherish her.
He was willing to slow down and go at her pace.
In the morning, when Jessica woke up, her head hurt badly.
She rubbed her head, and everything from last night became clear in her mind.
She remembered she had confessed.
Then, Gabriel confessed too.
He said he liked her, and they almost had sex.
After that, she had no memory.
But where was he?
Was it all just a dream?
Thinking about it, Jessica was a little anxious, and she lifted the blanket and ran eagerly to the living room, looking for Gabriel so she could prove that everything that had happened before was real.
It was real, not her imagination.
"Gabriel."
However, when Jessica reached the living room, she found it empty.
