His mouth descended on me; The first wave of soft, warm pleasure shot through my body, making my toes curl. I gasped, the cold countertop under me was a stark contrast to his warm breath. He teased me with his tongue, then, as if reading my mind licked where my body demanded, sending pulses of pleasure up my spine.
 
 My fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him even closer. My head fell back against the cabinet as my breath hitched. His one arm wrapped around me to keep me close while the other roamed up my stomach, then tracing along the underside of my breasts.
 
 "Gabriel," I moaned out his name like it was the only word I knew. The sensation was overwhelming. My body trembled beneath him and he growled in response— a deep rumble that vibrated against me.
 
 His movements shifted, becoming deliberate and slow. Too slow. He was torturing me, but I loved it. He moved his mouth from between my legs to kiss up my torso, his tongue leaving a trail of tingles up to my breasts. He took one nipple into his mouth as his hand found its way back down between my thighs.
 
 My body arched into him and I clenched my eyes shut as waves of pleasure washed over me—each wave stronger than the last until it crested into an all-consuming climax that left me trembling and gasping for air on the kitchen counter.
 
 With a swift movement, he had me off the counter and against the wall, his body pressing into mine. His lips on my neck, tracing a tingling path along my skin. A small moan escaped me, and he chuckled against my neck.
 
 "You like that...don't you?" he breathed into my ear. I bit my lip and nodded, feeling my face scratch up against his stubble. His voice alone was enough to make my knees buckle; this timethere was a wall to keep me upright. I clung onto him for dear life as he lifted me higher, then planted his face into my chest, content to suffocate there as he kissed. He pulled back and kissed me again, then looked into my eyes. We both breathed heavily as we took each other in. His gaze was heavy and filled with desire, his blue eyes darkened by lust. He reached down with one hand, unbuttoning his pants. They fell to the ground and In one swift movement, he entered me hard against the wall and I cried out at the sudden intrusion, clutching onto him for support as he stilled to let me adjust to him. It wasn't long before he started moving again with slow deliberate strokes that had me gasping for breath.
 
 "Look at me," he demanded, voice thick with desire and power. I met his gaze, his eyes reflecting the arousal coursing through my veins. The sight of him as he filled my up completely sent another wave of pleasure crashing over me. His hand slid down to my waist, gripping firmly and guiding me into a rhythm with him.
 
 He bucked his hips harder against mine then, driving deeper inside me. A strangled cry tore from my throat, quickly swallowed by another passionate kiss from Gabriel.
 
 His rhythm was relentless, each thrust better than the last. He grunted and growled in response to my gasps and cries, each sound encouraging him to push harder, faster. His movements became more frenzied, his grip on me tightening as his breathing grew ragged.
 
 "Gabriel," I breathed out in a desperate moan, clutching onto him tighter as the tension coiled within me started to reach its peak.
 
 He groaned back, his voice rough and deep sent me spiraling over the edge. My vision blurred as a blinding wave of ecstasy ripped through me. My body clenched tight around him, drawing a loud groan from Gabriel as he continued to driveinto me hard. Dark spots swam in my vision as pleasure ripped though me.
 
 His eyes locked onto mine. He took a sharp breathe and I felt the muscles of his body tense against mine. I held my breath, caught in the intensity of his gaze as he thrust into me one final time. His chest rose and fell as he drew in ragged breaths, a bead of sweat traveling down his chest, over the ridges of his abs. He lowered me to the ground, as I trembled from the waves of pleasure that coursed through me. He went to the kitchen and opened a bottle of water, took a few gulps then handed me the half full bottle. I clutched the bottle with my trembling hands and brought it up to my lips when a knock came at the door. I looked up at Gabriel, confused at who could be knocking.
 
 He smiled wickedly, “Maybe the neighbor heard us.” Then a sudden realization appeared on his face. “Sandwiches.” He said, then casually motioned for me to go into the hallway.
 
 I crawled weakly out of sight towards the shadows in the hallway as he pulled up his jeans. Another knock came at the door and he opened it, covered in sweat, still breathing heavily. I heard a soft voice struggle to find words.
 
 “Uh hello I am here to- to deliver this.” It was obvious from the tone in the girls voice that she knew exactly what was happening. I could never order delivery from that restaurant again, but it was worth it. She probably had waited until it was over to knock, we weren’t exactly being quiet. Gabriel closed the door without a word then came to me in the hallway.
 
 “Hungry?” He asked, holding up the bag.
 
 I shook my head, there was no way I could manage to eat right now, I needed to lay in bed and recover.
 
 “I will later, I need to lay down. That was-”
 
 “The best thing you’ve ever experienced in your life?” he said.
 
 “I was going to say good enough.” My eyes fluttered and I couldn’t stop my lips from curling into a smile.
 
 His laughter echoed throughout the apartment, a deep rich sound that warmed me from the inside, again.
 
 He set the bag down and gathered me into his arms, carrying me effortlessly towards the bedroom like I weighed nothing more than a feather.
 
 Once inside, he carefully laid me down on the plush mattress, pulling the covers over my still naked body. The white sheets felt cool and comforting against my flushed skin.
 
 “Ill be with you in a minute.”
 
 I watched his retreating figure, my eyes drinking in the powerful lines and muscles of his back. I lay my head on the plump pillow and let out a sigh, tracing my fingers along the faint creases of the white sheets. My body still hummed, his scent all over me filled each breath. I closed my eyes and heard him in the kitchen, the sound of paper bag crinkling as he unwrapped his sandwich.
 
 “Nice.” I heard him say to himself. I smiled, imagining him appreciating his sandwich as the world seemed to grow distant.
 
 I opened my eyes to the brilliant sunlight pouring through the window, lighting him up as he lay next to me in a deep sleep.
 
 Gabriel
 
 Iopened my eyes to find Sophia smiling, sharing my pillow. Sunlight bloomed and faded as clouds rolled through the sky, filling the room with natural light then taking it away. I held her gaze then pulled her closer, resting her head on my shoulder. She wrapped around me like the soft sheets, her bare breasts pressing against my chest.
