Gabriel
I stand in the hallway until I hear the cries she tries to muffle subside.
That was not the best reaction to have the morning after.
It’s not like I was drunk or anything. I was perfectly capable of making that decision.
The thing is that I’m scared. I’m scared of what she means to me after just one night.
Now that I have tasted and felt her, there is no way that I could go back to being nothing to her and only seeing her every six months when her family makes everyone take a holiday.
Her family. I let out a snort when I get to my room and sit on the edge of the bed.
Fuck, they’re my family too and I completely betrayed them. They had trusted me to take care of her for a couple days until they got into town, but nothing seemed to stop me once I had made up my mind.
I look at my phone sitting on the dresser. I turned it off after I sent them a text that we were here safely.
I shake my head. I can’t call them. I need to fix this.
This changes everything.
I blow out a breath, lay back on the bed, and think about my possibilities.
I could let her keep thinking I regret it, but I don’t, and the only thing that would salvage is my relationship with her family, but ours will never be the same. Life would be full of tense, awkward holidays and eventually someone would catch on anyway.
Or I could give this thing with her a shot because I know for a fact that no one would ever compare to her and, after last night, I wouldn’t bother trying.
Aubrey Kingsley is everything I have ever wanted. She’s got the perfect body and she is the best woman I know. There wasn’t a time that she only thought about herself; until last night that is, but I’m glad she was a little selfish in that situation the longer that I think about it.
There is no question about it.
I have loved this woman my whole life. Could I just ignore the fact that I now know what she feels and tastes like?
There’s no way that I can pretend that I didn’t have her, and watch as someone else tries to claim what’s mine.
There is no way that she’s going to marry some other asshole and give him a family. She would look stunning with my baby growing inside of her.
The thought of another man touching her sends a wave of jealousy through me which I quickly try to tamper down.
That cannot happen.
I stand up and practically rip the door open as it bangs loudly against the wall.
Thankfully, when I turn the handle on her door, it isn’t locked. She’s staring out the window with a defeated expression.
Me, I put that there.
That thought has me feeling like complete shit. I don’t deserve her, but if she wants this, us, for real then there is nothing that is going to stop me from keeping her.
“I’m sorry,” I say as I swallow a lump in my throat.
She closes her eyes and doesn’t bother to turn and face me.
Fuck, she can’t even bother to look at me.
“I heard you the first time. There is no point in saying it again,” she snaps. The tone in her voice is full of pain. It takes everything in me not to wrap my arms around her right then and there.
She turns to look at me with a glare. All I see is the hurt I have caused.
