Do you mind branding back a little?” ask him
He takes an overexaggerated two steps hack
You know, you’re peting a little too comfortable with me.”I warn him.
You sold we could be friends.”
“But what, Vee? This is me being friendly.”
Am Theing overdramatic? “Okay, but just so you know.”
“Trust me, I know.” He rolls his eyes as he stuffs his hands in his pockets
You’re like Mother fucking Teresa now.” “No shit”
You have no idea
I open the door and we walk inside and I look around our home, it seems so tiny and insignificant now that I’ve seen his new place.
Home sweet home,” Gabriel sighs sarcastically.
“He feels comfortable here.”
Dominie walks in the hark door with a basket of kindling and goes to the fireplace, he bends down and begins to scrunch up the paper. Gabriel watches him. Do you light the fire all by yourself?” Dominic nods as he keeps loading the kindling in.
“Dominic is the fire man of our house,” I say proudly,
“Impressive. “Gabriel nods. “Tim not sure I could light a fire all by myself, you’ll have to teach me one day.
Dominic doesn’t acknowledge him and keeps doing what he’s doing-
*Dominic “Gabriel says. “I know that you’re angry that I haven’t been arounul for you and your sister but I want you to know that. I’m angry too.
Dominic glances up at him and then catches himself and acts underested, he goes back to his task
I feel cheated that I’ve missed out on so much of your life so far,” Gabriel continues.
Guill rum thauugh me like a freight tram
you to know that I’m here now and Im not p
at going anywhere.”
Dominic gets the lighter and lights the paper up, the orange Eames flicker.
“And just because we got off to a bad start, it doesn’t mean we won’t have a wonderful relationship going forward.”
Dominic palases as he stokes the fire and I know he’s listening
Tm going to make this up to you and Loca and your mom”
All those nights I lay in bed and cried myself to sleep because I wanted my children to have a father, and now, hearing this, its I get amp in my
throat as I watch on
“Duin,” Lucia calls from the back deck. “The brown dock is back Quick”
Dominic glances up at me for approval to leave. You can go out if you want, “lwb=
He runs out through the back door and Gabriel slumps to sit on the arm of the couch. Empathy fills me, and I put my hand on his shoulder. “He’s going
to control”
INDING THE LAST
LAST BETRAYAL LOOP: Faked My Death and Found REAL FREEDOM
1965
Gabriel puts his hand on top of mine, whh I wer
The warm, strong muscles under my hand muddenly come into focus and 1 remove my hand gely in hare Gabriel hela je to n not going anywhere. Epromise you.”
This has nothing to do with me, Gabriel, the only thing that matters in your relationship with the twins Leave me out of it
We stare at each other as nation wells between us, memories of a horrible pau that my heart wont let
His face flickers with red and golden shadows of the fire, Tm just asking you to leave the door open for us.
“That door has been closed for many years, Gabriel”
He runs his band up my leg as he stares up at me, and I know that look, once upon a time I dreamed of every night. Tm not the boy I was back then
Then who are you?” I ask.
Tthe man who wants to right his wings.” His hand slides around to my y behind. “A man who knows what he wants”
“We are never having sex. Get out of your head right now.”
Tim not after sex. I’m after a connection. His eyes search mine. I want to feel your heartbeat from the inside, I want to show you mine
He stands, bringing us millimeters apart, and he takes my face in his hands. I stare up at him as my heart completely stops
“Put me out of my misery.” He bends and his lips softly brush against mine. “Tell me there’s a chance for us.”
His tongue slowly swipes through my open lips and my knees nearly give way beneath me. My eyes utter closed as the moment takes me over.
We kiss again, and this time his tongue slowly slides into my mouth, awakening every female instinct that I’ve suppressed for years
This man, the physical reaction I have to him it’s carnal, primal, and damn well addictive.
Wait what the hell am I doing?
I pull out of the kiss and step back “Gabriel you need to stop.”
“What’s wrong?” He reaches for me again and pulls my body against his
“Get back here.”
“No.“I take a further step back. This isn’t about you and me, this is about the children and your relationship with them.”
“What the children need is for us to be together.”
That’s not true at all, and besides “1 troll my mind for a get–out–of jail card. Tm already seeing someone.”
His eyes narrow and he steps toward me, forcing me lo step back “Who is he?” he growls. The dominance of his action sends a wildfire through my body. I feel my pulse between my legs
