Chapter 355: Let me be inside you
"You will not touch me unless I ask you," Amelie whispered, her fingers threading through his silken hair, holding his head firmly in place. Her gaze was fierce despite the tremor of desire in her voice. "If you do... we stop."
Gabriel’s violet eyes darkened with amusement, his lips curving into a wicked smirk. "And what exactly are you planning to do, little Mate? Fine, I’ll keep my hands off. But hear me, Amelie... if you stop, I’ll be the one taking charge. And when I do, I’ll fuck you until you can’t even speak my name." His voice dropped, husky, daring her to defy him.
"I won’t lose against you," she retorted, her eyes shone a strange blue, a color Gabriel had never witnessed before.
Before he could reply, her lips crashed against his for another passionate kiss. Her hands roamed over his chest, tracing the sculpted ridges of muscle, memorizing them. Their tongues tangled in a battle for dominance. The kiss was so consuming it left them both breathless.
Breaking away, Amelie trailed her lips along his jaw, down the strong line of his throat, until she reached the hard bob of his Adam’s apple. She nipped there, just enough to draw a groan from him, before soothing the spot with a slow, deliberate kiss.
Her hips moved instinctively, grinding against his restrained body. Gabriel’s fists clenched tight at his sides, his nails biting into his palms as he fought to keep his promise. The challenge she’d set was already unraveling him, and the worst part was, Amelie hadn’t even truly started.
’Fuck, I’m losing my head already,’ Gabriel thought, his breath turning ragged. Each time her heated core pressed against his straining arousal, the urge to tear away their clothes and bury himself inside her nearly broke his restraint.
His body screamed for her, yet he couldn’t not touch her because if he would do Amelie would seriously stop.
Amelie wasn’t faring much better. Her heat ached with desire, every nerve alight with the same primal hunger. The longer she dragged this out, the more impossible it became to resist. Her wolf, Selene, clawed at her insides, urging her toward the one thing they both craved.
Her lips fastened on his neck, sucking and teasing the sensitive flesh until a deep moan escaped him. Gabriel’s head tipped back, his chest rising in uneven breaths as he surrendered to her touch.
Then her canines lengthened, sharp and glowing faintly with power. She hesitated for only a second. She knew her mark never stamped on Gabriel before because of the absence of her wolf, but now, with her wolf fully awakened, instinct demanded she try again.
"Amelie..." Gabriel laughed with pleasure. "Do it. Brand me as yours. Only yours." He had almost moved his hands up, but he brought them to the mattress again, telling himself not to do it.
Finally, her teeth sank into his skin, claiming him, and his groan echoed through the room, welcoming the sacred bond they both shared now, a bond neither of them could ever undo.
The mark bloomed on Gabriel’s neck, mirroring Amelie’s own. The delicate lotus-shaped symbols, glowing faintly as if echoing the timeless tale of their love.
A rush of fire coursed through Gabriel’s veins, unlike anything he had ever felt before. Amelie trembled too, her body alight with the same unrelenting heat. Her eyes glowed again, and when she tilted her head to meet his gaze.
"Do whatever you want to me, quickly," Gabriel rasped, his voice faltering under the weight of desire. "I-I don’t think I can last much longer."
Amelie’s lips curved in a daring smirk as her hand slid lower, slipping past the waistband of his pants. She never broke eye contact as her fingers brushed against him, her breath hitching at the hard manhood of him.
Her lashes lowered briefly, a playful gleam sparking in her gaze. "Why are you so worked up already?" she teased. "You always loved tormenting me, Gabriel. Now it’s my turn to tease you."
His muscles tensed and he spoke, "Do you think I can take your teasing?" he ground out, his head falling back against the wall. "Let me just—" He cut himself off with a groan, the sensation of her touch unraveling his control.
"Amelie..." Gabriel panted, his voice breaking between ragged breaths. "I lost, okay? You win. Now, please, let me be inside you." His wolf rumbled deep in his chest with a sound of raw need and surrender.
He had always known Amelie was strong, a wolf in her own right, but today he got to see her alpha nature. The calm, composed woman he was used to was gone, replaced by someone wild, untamed, and merciless in the way she drove him to the edge.
"Amelie..." he groaned again, his body trembling as every nerve screamed for her.
"Fuck!" Gabriel cried out, his moan echoing in the room as his release tore through him. His body shuddered violently, every ounce of his restraint obliterated, leaving him undone beneath her touch.
Amelie’s lips curved into a smile. At last, she had brought him to the very brink, shattering his control and leaving him undone. Gabriel caught her hand that was covered with his release. Without a word, he pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, the one he always carried, and gently wiped her clean, his violet eyes burning into hers.
"You are really something else, Amelie Sinclair," he murmured with an awe.
Her long lashes fluttered against her cheeks as she lowered her gaze, a faint flush coloring her face. "Then... be inside me," she whispered. "The curse on me is fully lifted now. And I want to feel everything about you, everything I was denied before." Her voice caught slightly in her throat because of the emptiness she always felt.
However, the vulnerability in her words only deepening the hunger in her eyes.
"You’re not getting any sleep tonight then," Gabriel said and tore her nightdress, making her gasp in shock.
