Chapter 139
As he talks, he picks me up and carries me up the stairs to what I assume is our bedroom for the duration of this stay. Just as he closes the door and places me on the bed, he presses his lips to mine while his hands fumble with my clothing, taking them off piece by piece until my body is bare. He then slips the burgundy pajamas made of pure silk over my body before slipping into the bed with me. Whilst I had decided to warm myself up by the fire when we had arrived, he had gone and changed before joining me. I watch him with drooping eyelids as he takes off his grey t-shirt before pulling the blanket over us and cuddling me into his side.
We lay there for a long while and I'm just on the brink of sleep when I hear him whisper in my ear. "We were meant to be Amanda, there is no way I would ever let you create distance between us after I found you on my land."
"I'm glad you didn't." I smile softly, feeling content as I wrap my arm around his waist and press a kiss to where I can hear his heart beating.

The next day.
I'm reading an old classic by the window whilst Gabriel takes a call, the deep and husky baritone of his voice reaching my ears in soft and incoherent murmurs. We have just returned from having a late breakfast in a nearby diner that he loved to visit whenever he was in Alaska and I found out exactly why he was fond of the place so much. I remember it as a cozy place with lovely employees and delicious food, the calm and laid back atmosphere was just an bonus for its customers.
The reason we had such a late breakfast was of course because of Gabriel himself; that man possesses an insatiable hunger for having his way with me every single day. There is just no stopping him. My pleads to explore the area as much as I possibly can during our short time here falls on deaf ears. However, I don't mind either if I'm being completely honest. I crave him just as much as he does me and it's impossible to resist him.
Everything outside is still and untouched; the thick blanket of white snow was saved from melting as the sun has not come out from beneath the thick, cloudy sky. I bet it's freezing outside though, remembering last night when we arrived. Sighing, I trace the cushioned ledge underneath me as my eyes skim over every line in interest, the world around me soon forgotten once more.
After what seems like an hour has passed, I glance up when Gabriel makes his way back into the sitting room and leans against the door, seemingly about to wrap up the phone call by the way he's dismissing everything with a low hum and short answers. I can still feel his gaze trained on me as I look back down and resume reading, well as much as I could now that his distracting presence is near me. My body hums with an energy whenever he is around, the mark on my neck tingling in pleasure which always attracts him to it like bees to honey.
When I look up again, his eyes have darkened in lust making me shake my head in amusement, I can feel how turned on he is through our bond as well as the urgency he feels to finish the conversation. Chuckling, I turn back to my book and straighten my legs when I feel them becoming numb.
However, my mate is hell bent on catching my attention and soon, dirty images fill my mind as he thinks about what exactly he wants to do to me, making me gasp loudly and drop my book in surprise. His low laughter echoes in my mind making me turn to glare at his mischievous smirk. Huffing in mock anger, I pick up the novel once more and begin sifting through the pages, searching for the familiar words of where I had left off. It's quite a thick book and I groan in defeat when minutes have passed and I'm still turning the pages frantically.
Frustrated, I place the book down beside me and glance up only to gasp in shock and shoot up towards the window. I stand on my knees with my hands to the glass as I stare outside in wonder, my eyes catching the intricate and unique designs of the snowflakes as they hit the window and melt before my eyes. A giddy smile spreads across my lips as excitement grows within me.
''Gabriel look, it's snowing!'' I shriek before turning and making a start for the door. I'm nearly there before a muscled arm wraps around my waist and pulls me backwards to hit a rock-hard chest.
''Go wrap up. You'll catch a cold otherwise.'' A deep voice orders, making me turn around to face him as he pockets his phone.
Pouting in annoyance, I run upstairs and quickly throw warm winter clothes on with some boots before sliding down the banister, making him growl as he catches me by the waist before I can reach the end of the staircase.
''Be careful, Amanda.'' He glares down at me, concern and worry flashing in his eyes before they are back to a steely green.
He glances at my head before shaking his head while I bounce on my feet restlessly, wanting to be outside. Reaching towards the coat rack for his dark blue beanie, he places it on my head, smoothing my loose black curls on the way before nodding at me. I cheer excitedly before running outside and down the driveway.
There is nobody here except for him and I, fields upon fields of snow covered grass stretch for miles as I wonder what to do with it. I start down the driveway thinking of making a snowman or some snow angels on the lawn before halting suddenly, turning around and noticing Gabriel leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed and gazing at me with a soft expression.
