Gripping both of his wrists in one hand, I brought down my free arm and grabbed his face. His eyes flickered to mine with heated lust as I continued the sweet friction of my body against his. My eyes shifted to his lips. They were parted as his fast breaths escaped from between them.
It was then I knew: Gabriel would either be my ultimate salvation or my utter downfall.
Only he could affect me in such a way. From the moment I had first laid eyes on him, something had clicked in my head, as if all the moving gears had clanked and stopped right before starting up again, this time in perfect synchronization.
I brushed my thumb across his bottom lip as my heart went wild in my chest.
Gabriel’s lips were like that metaphorical cliff that appeared in our minds when we were faced with a decision that would ultimately alter our lives, a decision that would forever change who we were. I had suspected from the beginning that he possessed a power that would tie me to him forever if I were to get too close. His beauty and grace had first caught my eye, but now his inner fire had scorched my soul.
If I were to claim Gabriel’s lips with mine, I’d never be the same again. Within the short amount of time I had known him, his light had already begun seeping into me and altered a piece of my wretched darkness. Time stood still as my mind shifted through all of the confusion.
Mine.The word drifted through me once again, and I knew I had made my final decision.
Visualizing the pivotal cliff in my mind, I brought Gabriel’s lips to mine… and jumped.
