Chapter 89 - First Time
Currently, the statue that was named Gavriel was frozen with shock and could not move for a while. When Evie was about to speak, he dropped his head a little lower, and he drew in a breath that was not quite steady. He inhaled in such a slow but greedy way like how addicts absorbed a narcotic smoke.
Evie creased her brows. But when she perceived that it must be because of her blood, her heartbeat raced. Oh no.
Suddenly losing her powers of speech, Evie just stared at him with anxious and worried eyes. Her nerves still seemed to still be asleep at the moment that her brain was slow to respond in telling her what she should be doing or saying. Those large, crystalline eyes trained themselves on Gavriel, silently observing his every move.
"d.a.m.n it," Gavriel whispered all of a sudden. And before she could register in her brain on what was happening, they were inside their chambers again.
Gavriel hastily but gently laid Evie down on their bed but instead of pulling away, he held himself fully still in that bent over position that was hovering so closely over her entire length. His face so close to hers. His body taut and especially intimate as they were only a hair"s breadth from being plastered to each other.
"Gav- Gavriel?" Evie finally regained her wits and stammered out softly, "are you alright?" His sudden movement followed by that prolonged state of frozenness worried her slightly.
"Yes… no… G.o.ds, Evie…" He managed to groan out. Evie thought his voice sounded pained.
She lifted her hand to touch his face, searching his face. Her heartbeat was still racing, remembering the fresh memory of him having those flaming blue eyes that seemed to belong to Hades. As she stared deeper into his eyes, she could catch something that looked like hunger surging in his eyes. Oh no… could it be that?
Seeing the anxiety and worry suddenly flare out within the depths of Evie"s eyes, Gavriel caught his lower lip between his teeth as he shut his eyes tightly and let out a heavy sigh. His nostrils flared slightly as he picked up the flowery and wonderful scent that was uniquely his wife. G.o.ds! She was too tempting for her own good. She truly was going to be the death of him one day! And this was not the first time that this thought crossed his mind.
"W-what"s wrong?" he heard her ask. "Are you…"
Gavriel opened his eyes slowly and held her hand. "Nothing"s wrong, wife." He said as he kissed her knuckles. She could feel how gentle he was from that action alone. His brooding and seductive gaze peeked at her through his tussled dark hair. "It"s just that…"
"J-just what?" Evie blinked and c.o.c.ked her head to one side, curious at what he was trying to say.
"I just can"t believe you"re actually seducing me like this."
"Oh… wh- what?!!" Evie squeaked out, her eyes popping open. That cute combination of actions only further served to tickle Gavriel"s heart and endeared her to him.
"At the very moment you woke up too… and to think you chose the corridor of all places to do that." Gavriel could not resist teasing Evie to see more of her reactions.
Evie"s lips parted in disbelief. And she blinked multiple times once again. Wait a minute here! Just exactly who was seducing who?
"H-huh? What did I do?" she said, blushing. "When did I seduce you? You… you were the one seducing me ever since the moment I woke up! Show casing your naked body like that… and now you tell me I"m the one…" Evie"s voice died down before she could finish her sentence, because Gavriel chuckled so sensuously his features became so wickedly naughty. It was then she realised he was playing around and teasing her. She pouted her lips and gave a little adorable huff as she rolled her eyes at him.
"My love," Gavriel pinched Evie"s chin and she could not help but swallow. His gaze becoming deeper and more intense as he hungrily stared at her lips, licking his own in response. "You might not believe it but this mouth of yours just spouted something deadly seductive just now."
Evie creased her brows again in confusion, thinking furiously on what exactly she had said for him to claim that she was the one to seduce him.
Gavriel"s lips curved up into another wicked smile. "Alright, since you look so d.a.m.n adorable right now, I"ll tell you…" he said and then he bent even closer to whisper. "Yes, I don"t want them… to see you." Came his hypnotic and hoa.r.s.e whisper. Evie shivered at the touch of his breath against the sensitive inside of her ear. Her face flushed so hot not because of the words but because of the way he said it. However, she was still confused on what part of that phrase that was seductive? And why was it that she was the one being seduced when he was the one who said those same words to her? No, it was only because of his impossibly tempting voice! There was nothing seductive in those words themselves! At all! No matter how she thought about it!
"There is nothing seductive in those words. You are just… teasing me again… are you?" Evie pursed her lips, trying to stop blushing.
"Oh no, my love." Gavriel shook his head. "It"s not a tease. I"m telling you the truth. You sounded so possessive when you said those words. It might not sound that… incredible to you, but that was the first time you have ever showed such possessiveness over me, love. And it seems I G.o.dd.a.m.ned loved it when you"re going all possessive of me that way." His breathing snagged as he caressed her cheek with his fingers and his breaths. "It"s enough to arouse me d.a.m.n bad, Evie."
Oh my… Evie"s lips subconsciously parted once again.
"You might consider refraining doing that when we"re outside, love. I almost pinned you against the wall just now. The corridors might look empty to you but they"re actually not… but if we"re in here…" he paused and moistened his dry lips with his tongue.
The way he did it as he stared at her was so inviting Evie felt entirely seduced.
"You can seduce me all you want." He whispered.
