Gavriel’s gaze sharpened, but he remained silent.

“It was never selfish,” she continued. “It was genuine. He respected my decisions. He never tried to manipulate me. All he ever wanted was for me to live well and be happy. That is the kind of love he had

for me.”

She rested her forehead lightly against his.

“And he is happy now. Truly. But I want to reassure him. I want him to see with his own eyes that there is nothing left to worry about.”

Gavriel studied her face carefully.

She held his gaze intensely before adding in a softer tone, “I want him to know how genuinely happy I am now.”

Her fingers slid down to rest over his heart. “How you are already my home.”

The possessiveness in Gavriel’s expression shifted into something deeper. Something vulnerable.

He pulled her closer again, pressing his forehead against hers. “You speak as if I could ever stop you

he muttered.

Althea smiled. “You would try.”

He huffed quietly. “I would.”

She brushed her lips softly against his, not teasing this time, but reassuring.

“I always belong with you,” she whispered.

Then she shifted and moved over him, her hair cascading around them like a curtain..

Gavriel’s hands instinctively settled at her waist, his eyes darkening as he watched her.

She leaned down and kissed him again, slower now. Tender and certain.

She felt the way his breath deepened beneath her, the restrained hunger he had kept in check for her sake. She knew her husband well by now. For a man like Gavriel, restraint did not come naturally.

Yet for her, he had bent. He had softened. He had learned patience. And she loved him all the more for it.

Her lips traced along his, lingering, coaxing. She kissed him with gentle heat, with promise, with quiet gratitude. When their mouths parted, her forehead rested briefly against his.

“You have been good,” she murmured softly. “Let me take care of you.”

The growl that rumbled low in his chest was barely contained.

His hands tightened at her waist, but he did not flip her over. He let her lead. Let her choose the pace. Let her show him that this was freely given.

The blanket shined as they moved closer, their bodies fitting together naturally, familarly

She licked and gently sucked his lower lip, then his upper one, before slipping her tongue inside to deepen the kiss. She felt his arousal against her as she swallowed his muffled moans.

Slowly, she began to move against him, rolling her hips in a steady rhythm as she guided him into her. taking him inch by inch with deliberate, unhurried desire.

Gavriel’s control thinned with every slow kiss, every gentle sway of her hips. He closed his eyes briefly. surrendering to her touch, to her warmth, to the certainty that she was his and he was hers.
