Chapter 146
All too soon, he pulls away making me pout. Pecking my lips, he tucks a stray strand of hair behind my ear. "I trust you, Amanda. It's them I don't trust."
"Well, you'll have to learn because we're all just friends." I pat his arm reassuringly, before pulling away to check on my food before it burns.
"No, you're just oblivious sometimes." I hear him mutter audibly, making my jaw drop.
"Gabriel Da Silva, if you don't stop this nonsense you'll soon find yourself mate less!" I point at him with a knife, glaring. "Now, have you eaten? I'm making chicken stir fry if you want that. Or I can make you something else too, what do you want to eat?"
I hear his footsteps as he makes his way over to me, making me tense up in anticipation. What stupid accusation is he going to come up with now? I huff angrily to myself. However, just as I have poured the steaming hot food into a dish and put away the pan, I'm pulled back into his chest again. He picks me up and uses his ability to speed up to our bedroom. Laying me on the bed, I watch as he throws off his own clothes before leaning forward to take off my jumper.
"When I'm done with you, you won't even think about leaving me, little mate." He murmurs, an underlying promise in his voice making me groan at his dark and husky voice, tingles and sparks dancing across my skin. His touch makes me feel like I'm in heaven.
"Promise?" I breathe teasingly, knowing the reaction I will get out of him.
And boy, do I get it.
Gabriel growls loudly, his green eyes burning a bright gold as he stares down at me. He spends the rest of the night making love to me, showering me with attention and catering to my every need. My body soars every time I reach my peak, feeling breathless yet content when I come back down from my blissful high.
He flops back down on me, both of us panting as we ride off the waves of our high. I moan as he slips out and lies beside me, feeling empty. Curling up beside him, I press a gentle kiss to his neck before cuddling into his side. I hum when I feel his lips press on the top of my head.
Closing my eyes, I make myself comfortable. Just a few minutes of lying there in the dark, Gabriel wakes me up by getting out of the bed and walking into the bathroom. Sighing, I'm just about to turn when I'm pulled to lay on my back again. I watch with half-opened eyes as he cleans me with a damp towel, humming in appreciation.
"Gabriel." I call softly, making him stop and stare at me expectantly. "Drew called to tell us that he found his mate."
His expression is priceless as his jaw drops and he stares at me. I laugh loudly, remembering how jealous he became earlier. He huffs before turning me slightly and smacking my bum, making me shriek. He goes back into the bathroom and I take that opportunity to stretch like a feline, moaning softly. A lustful growl breaks through the silence, making my head snap in the direction to see Gabriel marching towards me with darkened eyes. I squeal in surprise when he pounces on me.
He proceeds to take me again, my cries of pleasure echoing in the room. I match his stamina, my fingertips trailing over every inch of his skin, my breaths mingling with his, our heartbeats in a frenzied sync. We become undone and I hear him groan softly as he pulls out of me, discarding his condom and kissing my mark before nuzzling his head into the crook of my neck. Grabbing the blanket, he turns me around so that I can rest my head on his chest. I hum tiredly, loving the way he gathers me up against him with such care, covering us with the blanket and immediately engulfing me in warmth.
"We're done for the night, right?" I mumble, sleep pulling at my eyelids.
I feel his chest shake underneath me as he chuckles, his lips pressing against my temple gently. "Go to sleep, sweetheart."
"Mmm, night."
"I love you, mi luz." He whispers into my hair, holding me close. (My light)
"I love you too, Gabriel. Always."

The others have arrived and met up with us down in the dining hall for breakfast that Gabriel and I had prepared since they would be exhausted from travelling last night. Nero had let Isabella sleep in for a while before bringing up a tray of food, as her pregnancy is starting to take a toll on her. Although she is only three weeks along supernatural babies take extra energy and nutrients out of the mother because of how much strength they need and how quickly they develop in the womb.
Because Christmas is tomorrow and based on how late we arrived to the lodge, a tree was already picked for us and sat in storage, which Gabriel and Paloma are currently moving into the sitting room. My jaw drops at the enormous size of the tree, it almost reaches the ceiling!
One of the helpers brings in two boxes full of ornaments, making Valeria and I rush over and begin our search through the various themed decorations for the tree. I can feel the excitement and joy bubbling within me the more I get involved and I know Gabriel can sense it too, judging by how he chuckles quietly to himself every few minutes when I'll jump up to hang a bauble or wrap some tinsel around the tree with him helping me.
We work on the tree, chattering away in delight about how the most wonderful time of the year is tomorrow and how much we have achieved in the past months up till now. Nero joins us in decorating the tree soon after, ordering Isabella not to strain herself too much and restricting her to the couch with a cozy blanket. The four of us work quickly and soon enough, I'm on Gabriel's shoulders wrapping the last bit of the lights around the top of the tree and finishing it off with a star on top.
