Chapter 103: 1 Fucked Up Badly

Gabriel’s POV

A fucking cruel asshole.

Chapter 103:1 Fucked Up Badly

That was the best way to describe me after what I’d done to Clairessa.

I had fucked up.

Badly.

I knew it the moment I left her.

The moment I walked out of that villa, telling myself it was for the best. That leaving without a word- without facing her–would make it easier.

I told myself that maybe, if I put enough distance between us, I could forget her.

But I was wrong.

Because every second, every breath, every damn moment since I left, she consumed me.

I closed my eyes, and there she was–imprinted in my mind like a brand I couldn’t erase.

Her soft moans echoed in my ears, the way she had begged me to take her, the way her body trembled beneath me, completely open and willing.

I groaned, running a hand over my face, trying to push the thoughts away.

But it was useless.

I could still taste her on my tongue, still feel the way she melted under my touch.

She had fucked me up.

I cursed under my breath, shifting in my seat as I felt myself harden, just thinking about her.

Clairessa wasn’t just another woman.

She was the only woman who had broken through the walls I’d spent years building.

And that scared the hell out of me.

I had spent years keeping people at arm’s length. Never letting anyone in. Never giving anyone the power

to hurt me.

But with her…

Chapter 103:1 Fucked Up Badly

I was losing that control.

And it scared the hell out of me.

So, I told myself it was better this way. That if I left, I wouldn’t have to deal with what I was feeling.

I spoke to Sandy, and she informed me Clairessa had called in sick today, but I knew damn well she wasn’t.

Just like I knew my “emergency meeting” had been nothing but an excuse.

There had been a meeting. But it wasn’t something I couldn’t have pushed back.

I let my jealousy, my anger, and my own damn ego drive me to run like a fucking coward.

And now, she wasn’t answering my calls.

Ignoring my texts.

And the more silence I got from her, the more it fucking destroyed me.
