Chapter Sixteen

Gabriel

Her lips are pure damnation.

Light danced through the small room as I lay in bed, my arm thrown over my face. I had spent hours after everyone was asleep, replaying the events of last night in my head. I still did not know what to do. It happened so fast I was not sure if it was real, but the moment her lips connected with mine, electricity shot through me and everything felt right. Kissing Lilith had been a pleasant experience until she tried to get more, but it had never felt like that.

Through the door, I heard Corbin groan as he walked by. He must have had a difficult night. I sat up, dragging myself from the warmth of the bed. I had become accustomed to the comforts of this room. It would be a shame when I had to leave. I touched my stomach as it dropped.

When did that happen?

I pushed away the unpleasant feeling and turned to the end table, eyeing the business card for the center Ben had recommended. What Ben told me felt right. The lack of interest in sex had been with me from the beginning. Even with Lilith, I shied away from it. It was the cause of many of our disagreements.

I grabbed the card and pulled my shoes on, stepping out into the hallway. I glanced at Hayley’s closed bedroom door, wondering if she was still asleep. The urge to knock was strong. I decided against it. I needed to figure myself out before I could confront her. I took one final look at her door, the longing to return to her lips still tugging on me.

I went to the front door, stopping at the living room entrance, spotting Corbin taking pills and chasing them with some water. After I considered speaking with him and decided not to, I slipped outside.

The moment the sun touched my face, I sighed, grateful for the solitude. I walked down the driveway, contacting a ride to the center. I needed to figure out what was happening. I longed for a time long since passed when things were simpler.
