ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD (Gabrielle and Damon) novel Chapter 187

BONUS–AFTER STORY 3

GABRIELLE’S POV

Damon didn’t come back to bed that night.

He didn’t tuck the girls in either.

I woke up and glanced at the clock on the bedside table.

3:00 AM

The sheet behind me was still cold, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.

We had always talked things out before going to bed. And the times we didn’t, we at least cuddled through the night and talked in the morning.

Did I push him too far?

I stood up and reached for my robe, wrapping it around my nightdress as I stepped out of the room.

I checked in on the children first to see that they were both sound asleep.

Then I stepped out of the house to search for him.

He was exactly where I expected he’d be.

Damon was sitting on a bench in the garden where we got married, a drink in his hand.

I stood behind him for a second.

He was struggling with his emotions and it hurt that I couldn’t do anything to help him. But I could make him come back to bed and get some rest at least.

I walked closer to him.

He heard my footsteps and turned, the glass halfway to his lips. “Gabrielle.”

I sat beside him and reached for the bottle. “I’m the only drunk in this marriage, okay?”

Damon smiled, an amused huff escaping him.

I took a swig from the bottle, welcoming the burn as it passed through my chest in the cold morning air.

“I’m sorry I didn’t come to bed,” he said, his eyes looking straight ahead. “I needed to think.”

“What did you think about?” I asked.

He turned to me, his eyes beautiful under the moonlight. “About our fight.”

I held his gaze, but didn’t respond immediately.

I shifted closer to him on the bench until our arms were touching. “I don’t want to fight anymore.”

“Neither do I,” he said.

I stared up at him. “I should have been more understanding.”

Damon’s hand came to my cheek, his thumb brushing against my skin.

“Remember when we said our vows here?”

I leaned into his touch and nodded. “I do.”

“I said I would always protect you and our children,” he continued. “That you guys were my only purpose in life.”

I remembered it as if it were yesterday, but perhaps it was because I had replayed the wedding video the day before.

I would never forget that day.

I nodded, something tight in my throat.

He leaned closer until I could feel his breath on my face and whispered, “I meant it. I will never let harm come to any of you. And that is why I don’t want to be part of that world anymore.”

“Of course,” I responded, my voice breaking. “I know that. But I’m scared.”

His thumb brushed my skin again.

“I understand, wife,” he admitted. “But for now, Aiden poses no threat. At least, give me until then to make a decision.”

I stared at him for a second. “I am selfishly in love with you, Damon. I can’t imagine you leaving me and going to jail.”

“I won’t leave you,” he said.

My hand moved to hold his wrist, tears blurring my vision slightly. “No matter how guilty you feel… promise me you won’t leave me.”

He didn’t hesitate

that.”

“I’m not going anywhere. We belong together, and not even my guilt could make me blind to

Then he kissed me slowly and deeply, taking my breath away as his tongue slipped past my lips.

I could taste the alcohol in his mouth, smell it on his breath–and it made my head spin.

A low moan escaped me.

Soon, I found myself in his lap on the bench, my dress bunched up around my waist as I rode his cock, moving with a need I couldn’t suppress.

He kept me close, his voice low against my ear as he whispered how much he loved me, and planted kisses on my skin.

Each word sent a deeper ache through me, pulling me closer to him in every way that mattered.

By the time we made it back inside, neither of us had the patience to slow down.

He found me again, like he always did, like he needed to, and I let myself get lost in him without hesitation.

Later, when we completely satisfied, he drew me into his arms and held me tightly, his face pressed into the curve of my neck as if he never wanted to let go.

And just like that, wrapped in his arms, I fell asleep.

Surprisingly, the girls didn’t burst into our room at the crack of dawn as usual, which was quite suspicious.

I managed to force myself out of Damon’s grip and went to freshen up.

If he could have me in his skin while he slept, Damon wouldn’t hesitate to do that.

Fiorella and Rhys were in the kitchen making lunch for the girls when I went downstairs.

Susan passed with the children’s laundry, sending a warm smile my way.

I returned it.

“Mummy!” Aria screamed as she waddled to me with her cute, chubby legs.

I closed the distance between us and lifted her in my arms.

Rhys was stirring something in the pot, full concentration etched on his face. “Great, you’re awake. Your children threatened to cut my hair in my sleep if I don’t make them lunch”

I let out a loud laugh, much to the dismay of my brother–in–law, his frown deepening.

That sounded like them, alright.

Well, mostly Lila but Aria also had an unhealthy attachment to scissors. Hence, there was none in the house.

But Rhys didn’t know that.

And I didn’t tell him.

“Since when do you cook?” I asked.

“Since always,” he said without looking up. “I just never had a reason to.”

Fiorella caught my eye from across the counter and mouthed “he’s lying.

I bit back a smile and set Aria down as Lila ran to me next, wrapping her arms around my waist.

“Mum, Auntie Fio said we couldn’t wake you,” she announced, very seriously. “She said you and Daddy needed your sleep.”

I looked at Fiorella,

She shrugged, completely unbothered. “I heard you two coming into the house early this morning.”

“Good morning to you too,” I said dryly.
