Amelie met his piercing gaze and bit her bottom lip. "I–I thought you want to sleep," she murmured and furrowed her brows together. Her response didn't make any sense.
Gabriel walked to her with slow steps and stood before her. Lifting her chin, he made her look at him.
Amelie knew her hesitation could ruin everything. Steeling herself, she tiptoed and shut her eyes tightly before pressing her lips to his. The contact was brief, almost like a brush. The moment their lips met, she pulled away immediately while her heart hammered against her ribs.
Gabriel smirked, amusement flashing in his violet eyes as he ran a hand through his dark hair.
"Don't you know how to kiss?" he asked, his voice laced with teasing as he darted his tongue out to lick his lips.
"I do," Amelie replied quickly. She hesitated before adding, "You're just so tall... I can't reach it properly."
At her words, Gabriel moved without warning, lowering himself instantly.
Amelie's eyes widened in surprise. Her breath hitched as he now stood at her level, their faces mere inches apart.
"Who were you running from?" Gabriel asked.
"N-no one," Amelie replied. She felt trusting anyone with her truth could be fatal for her. To prevent him from asking any questions, she cradled his neck with her cold hands and kissed him fiercely this time.
'It's not like I haven't slept with a man before,' she reminded herself, sinking her teeth lightly into his lower lip. The rich scent of his cologne surrounded her, which was intoxicating and dangerously inviting.
Gabriel tensed under her touch. A warmth spread through his body, his wolf stirring restlessly inside him, growling in desire. His grip on her tightened as he wrapped his arms around her lower back, drawing her closer until their bodies were flush against each other.
A low, satisfied hum rumbled in his throat as he parted his lips, his tongue darting out to claim hers.
'She is different,' Gabriel thought to himself as he moved his hand to her thigh before pulling her up in his arms. Her legs wrapped around his torso and her fingers tangled in his smooth hair locks.
'How can he be so good at kissing?' Amelie thought. She felt inexperienced before him. The way his tongue would touch her lips, the roof of her mouth and her tongue, it would send tingles throughout her body.
