Chapter 28: His touch could quench

"But if I won’t kiss you, my wish won’t be granted," Gabriel said, keeping his gaze fixed at her.

"What did you ask for?" Amelie questioned, still keeping the hand between them. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Gabriel didn’t say anything and moved back. Meanwhile, Amelie lowered her hand, thinking if she did wrong. She remembered the deal they had made, yet she broke it first. Gabriel was too good that he didn’t remind her of that every time. But Amelie didn’t want to take advantage of his kindness all the time.

"Gabriel, I’m sorry for not keeping the words I have given you when you rescued me," Amelie began. "I would be asking too much from you, but Gabriel, I need time. I know you are finding your own answers while being around you."

"Shall we go?" Gabriel asked with an indifferent tone. This time it lacked warmth and she realised it was because of her reluctance to kiss him.

"Don’t be angry with me," Amelie said, holding his hand, thus stopping him from walking away.

"You overthink a lot," Gabriel said, tilting his head to meet her gaze. "I indeed want answers, but I also want you." He spotted her few loose hair strands and tucked them behind her ears.

"Why didn’t you tell me that in the office some employees tried tarnishing your character? Why did I learn from my gamma than you? Didn’t I give you authority to shut such mouths?" Gabriel suddenly questioned her. His sudden outburst made her realize that the prince was possessive of her and nothing was hidden from her.

"Isn’t that the reason you refused to let me kiss you?" Gabriel murmured. "I can read you easily, Amelie."

The pad of his fingers traced a gentle path along her cheek, igniting a warmth that she couldn’t ignore.

Amelie lowered her gaze. "It’s not always necessary to answer everything," she whispered. "And it’s not untrue that you’ve given me all of this because of the night I spent with you."

She paused, her fingers tightening slightly at her sides. "But I don’t regret it," she admitted. "Meeting you is the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me."

Gabriel’s expression softened. He held her hands, rubbing them slowly. "If you will keep saying such words, I may blush," he murmured.

"What?" Amelie exclaimed before chuckling. "Did you send Denzel to me today?"

Gabriel tilted his head slightly, amusement flickering in his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"Umm... It was my first day at work, and you weren’t in the office. The employees were already talking about our relationship, and then suddenly, Denzel showed up, asking me to have lunch with him." Amelie narrowed her eyes playfully. "You did that, didn’t you? So I wouldn’t feel out of place."

Gabriel smirked. "I didn’t know you were this sharp."

"It wasn’t hard to notice," she replied with confidence.
