Chapter Thirteen

- Gabriel -

I had not slept so fucking hard in years. The bed was too small and too fluffy for my taste, but I slept as comfortably as if I were floating on a fucking cloud, soaring above the turmoil on Earth while I slept among the stars.

The room was cold, as Suzanne had told me it would be, but her warmth by my side replaced the chill with the tempting curve of her body. The room was still dark. Suzanne’s head rested on my shoulder; one of her legs draped over mine. The blanket was tangled between us. I tried not to wake her as I fumbled for my phone, having slept with it in the pocket of my leather jacket. I tried to keep my body still as I looked at my phone and saw that it was early, very early. Dawn was still a good hour away.

Rather than disturb Suzanne by putting the phone back in my pocket, I reached over to set it on the small nightstand by the bed. The movement didn’t wake her, but she shifted in her sleep, pushing her body closer to mine to close the gap my movement had created between us. Instinctively, I turned to the side, and she burrowed even closer against me. Locks of wavy hair fell over her face; locks I couldn’t resist touching. With the tip of my finger, I pushed her hair to the side, wishing I could see what I imagined would be the peaceful expression of sleep on her face.

I barely remembered the way she had looked last night - or rather, this morning. I had been tired out of my mind. Too exhausted to focus on anything beyond the fact that just being in her company had calmed me down. After a few hours of sleep, I could think straight. From what I recalled, she hadn’t answered my phone calls because she had gone out with her friend. When I hadn’t called, she made other plans.

That stung with a narcissistic, arrogant burn to my ego.

But I couldn’t fault her for ditching my ass. As much as I liked the idea that she was sitting around her apartment, alone, waiting for me to call, I also admired her for not letting my lack of attention control her.

If I expected anything different, I was wrong. But I couldn’t deny how I felt.

Had she been partying? Did she meet someone else? Someone who wouldn’t lie to her and keep her waiting all week? Someone who took a genuine interest in her and wasn’t planning to use her...

But that wasn’t completely right. I had a genuine interest in her. That was why I’d driven so far in the early morning hours. To get to her. To have a chance for a moment like this. I pushed my ulterior motives aside.

Sleeping next to her, with the warmth of her body pressed against me as I fought the urge to devour her, to let my hands roam, to cup her breasts and cradle my cock between her.
