Clairessa’s POV

Chapter 74: Strip For Me

Gabriel’s eyes darkened as he stared at me. “Are you sure?” he asked, his voice low and serious. His gaze pierced straight through me, like he was searching for any doubt. I could see the struggle in his eyes- he didn’t want to take advantage of me, but the desire burning behind his eyes was also impossible to miss.

“I’ve never been more sure about anything or anyone,” I whispered, my breath hitching as the warmth of his touch sent a shiver through me.

That was all he needed. His lips crashed onto mine, and everything else disappeared. His kiss was deep and urgent, making my whole body tremble as I clung to him. My fingers dug into his shoulders, desperate to hold on to the intensity of the moment.

“Clairessa, he murmured against my lips, his voice rough with emotion, “If we do this, there’s no going back. You’ll belong to me–completely. Your body, your soul, everything. I don’t share.”

His possessive words sent shivers through me, but they didn’t scare me. If anything, they made me feel wanted in a way I’d never felt before.. “I’m yours,” I whispered, gripping onto him tighter.

I pulled back just enough to meet his gaze, my breath catching. “I wouldn’t want to share you either,” I admitted softly, my heart racing.

His jaw clenched, and for a moment, it looked like he might pull away. But then his hand rose to cup my cheek, his thumb brushing tenderly across my skin. The intensity in his eyes softened just enough, though the passion was still there, burning bright. “It’ll be just you, Clairessa,” he said firmly. “But I can’t promise you more.”

I understood what his words meant, and a part of me knew I should stop and think about what they meant. But I couldn’t. I didn’t want to. Tonight wasn’t about logic

or our complicated past. It was about this moment–about us.

“It’s enough,” I whispered, and I meant it.

His lips curved into a faint smile, and then he kissed me again, more fervently this time. His arms wrapped around my waist, lifting me off the floor with ease as our mouths moved together, hot and consuming.

My legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, my fingers tangling in his hair as he carried me to the bed. The passion burning between us was overwhelming, intoxicating.

When my back hit the soft mattress, I felt his weight shift as he stood at the edge of the bed, towering over me. His dark eyes burned into mine, sending a delicious ache through me.

He didn’t say anything as his hands moved to the buttons of his shirt. Slowly, he began unbuttoning it, one button at a time. His gaze stayed locked on mine, and every movement of his fingers sent a thrill through
