Chapter 132
Kaden joins us by the fire, taking a seat on the furry carpet. We talk for a while, Valeria and Vanessa convincing us to watch 'Elf' since Christmas is just a week away. Isabella and Nero are away meeting up with their friends and will be staying the night. Paloma and I were in charge of snacks and have grabbed a pile of junk food and popcorn, which is now spread out on the coffee table. The others are settled on the couches and I'm sitting on the carpet with my back against the sofa.
Sometime later in the evening, Gabriel returns home. He picks me up from the floor, making me yelp in surprise, before settling me on his lap as he sits back on the couch. I mumble out a greeting to which he responds with a kiss to my cheek, nuzzling his face into the crook of my neck and inhaling my scent. I groan lowly, whispering at him to stop when he starts placing heated kisses around my Kelvin. Tingles are dancing on my skin temptingly, wanting me to give in.
"No." He growls, wrapping his arms around me tighter.
"Let me watch the movie!" I whisper-shout, smacking away his wandering hands.
I hear him grumble under his breath before pulling a soft blanket over our bodies. Smiling, I cuddle into his side, stuffing my face full of popcorn as my eyes remain rooted to the screen of the television. I feel him press a feather-like kiss to my temple before leaning back and wrapping an arm around my shoulder.
His soft snores sound from beside me minutes later, warm puffs of air expelling onto my skin. Glancing upwards, I smile softly when I see him fast asleep with his head resting against the cushion. I envy his dark and long eyelashes. He has recently shaved and there is light stubble on his face that always tickles me, chocolate brown strands hang onto his forehead sloppily making my fingers itch to run them through his hair. Sighing blissfully, I turn to the movie again, slowly leaning forward to grab the packet of candy I have selected from the pantry.
We watch for another hour until it finishes. It's now eight in the evening, cloudy skies drifting across the sky slowly as the sun prepares to say goodbye. Valeria is the first to jump up when the movie finishes, saying she is going to a party tonight and not to wait up for her and Paloma. I smile at everyone and bid them goodbye when they set off, yelling at the siblings to be careful tonight and call me if they need me. The girls and I plan to go into town the next day to shop for Christmas presents.
Leaning back to rest against Gabriel's chest, I hum softly when I feel his hand slide down to rest on my hip, gripping onto it unconsciously. I think about what has transpired in the past month. Our pack won the war but lost their Luna. Vampires kidnapped me in revenge and I was bit by a lunatic then Kelvined again by my mate to save me. I was in a coma for three weeks and now, I'm awake and alive but completely different. It's funny how life works in mysterious ways.
I sigh softly, looking back at Gabriel once more before deciding to take a shower before bed. Gently, I stand from the couch and cover him with a blanket before making my way upstairs, chuckling at how he had not woken up as soon as I moved away.
I reach our bedroom and head into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. Turning on the water, I strip before stepping inside. The warm water greets me at just the perfect temperature and I smile. I see the glass steam up immediately before the rest of the bathroom is just a blur to me. Grabbing my shampoo, I lather it in my hair before rinsing, inhaling the scent of coconut. Frowning when I hear the door slide open, I turn only to see Gabriel entering the shower, completely naked. Gulping, I meet his eyes which are twinkling with mischief and lust.
"G-Gabriel...I'm s-showering, what are y-you doing?" I stammer, feeling my cheeks heat up with the way his eyes are roaming my naked body.
"I know," He chuckles dangerously, closing the door before stepping towards me. "I thought we could save water together."
He grips my hip and pulls me closer. The water runs down our bodies, some droplets lingering and some trailing down before meeting the floor. He caresses my bottom lip with his thumb before leaning down and claiming my lips in a hungry, passionate kiss. I gasp, tangling my fingers into his wet hair, loving how a groan escapes him at the action.
Our lips move urgently against each other's before his tongue traces my bottom lip, wanting me to open. Smiling against his lips, I decide to tease him and refuse, keeping my mouth shut. A growl of frustration reverberates around the room before he slaps my bum lightly making me gasp in surprise.
Immediately, his tongue slips in and battles with mine. I tug on his hair, eliciting a loud groan from him before he pulls away, both of us gasping for much needed air. He places kisses on my skin, making me moan in desire. I pull away and rest my hands against his chest, feeling his heart beat a little faster under my palm making me grin widely. His thumbs rub soothing circles into my waist eliciting a soft moan from my lips.
Hesitantly, I lean forward and cup his face in my hands, caressing his cheeks as I gaze into forest green orbs. My eyes avert to the fading scar from his temple to his cheekbones, it must have hurt. My heart fills with so much love for this man who fought through hell and back for me. Just thinking of how much pain he went through makes me tear up slightly. Leaning forward, I press light kisses down the length of his scar, feeling his fingers dig into my waist. I pull back to see his eyes closed and smile before pressing my forehead against his.
"I love you, Gabriel." I breathe, his bright eyes darkening as they register my words.
"Say it again." He growls, pulling me closer until our lips are just a breath away.
