Evi gulps.
"I've never even seen his reflection, nor have I planned to meet him in the past three days, Evielyn." There was a resolute voice and Evie could only bite her lower lip. He suddenly knew that he was wrong in judging just by his expression and reaction alone.
"I. I. that..."
As he stutters, Gavriel stretches his hand suddenly - all too suddenly - and slams him on either side, to a wall that somehow lies behind him.
He staggered back in surprise, finally realizing that he had retreated so long from her that he had reached the wall.
When he looked at her, their faces almost collided and he pulled his head back as far as he could without banging his own head against the wall.
However, when she saw the frown between her eyebrows and the intensity of her glittering eyes holding her back, Evie found herself unable to take her eyes off or make a sound.
However, he soon realized that his reaction was not out of fear. But it was because she recognized that in her eyes, there was still a gentle liquid luster as she looked at him, despite the calm anger emanating from her body and the bruised expression on her face that she could no longer hide.
The room became very quiet for a while before Evie's heart started pounding almost audibly. The next moment, he felt his warm breath touch his ears as his body stiffened.
"The talk of marriage with Thea didn't even have a chance of happening because I left them to look for you in that twilight right at the moment the general was ready to start talking about it. When I brought you back to the castle, I had already sent them away without even seeing them leave and it was the last time I saw that father and son couple, Evielyn." He explained slowly, his struggle to keep his voice soft was clear and he could tell that his breathing was out of balance.
"Now you're saying that Thea is the woman I want and need?" her voice hardened at that last statement before she withdrew to look at him.
His eyes were so sharp that he felt that his brain would malfunction and undergo destruction.
"You... The female... Damn it.." she heard him curse her for the first time and it seemed like she said those words with so much struggle. And then his breath choked.
"How can you be so ignorant?" the hardness of his voice softened but his whisper this time was hoarse and deep as if it was coming from the darkest space of his mind.
"Listen to Evie," she breathed on her lips and a gust of hellfire made her shiver and goosebumps crawled her skin.
'No! This can't happen!' he shouted within the limits of his mind because Evie could feel his carefully constructed walls so he spent so long building around his heart and mind started to collapse and he became increasingly helpless towards 'assault' her husband on his fortress.
It seems he can't hold on much longer. In the past three days, as his anger towards himself began to subside, his mind also began to gain clarity.
She remembered how she had come to save him, even hugging him so gently at that moment and taking care of him endlessly like she was so worried about him.
And all he did was send her away coldly, despite knowing that she could die back then if she didn't come to save him right at the time she did.
The emotions he had gone through the past three days without him were so much that if he honestly admitted to himself, he almost felt like being crushed.
He did not let anyone comfort him after the period of horror he had just experienced.
He was never open to his servant nor to Elias, just so that he would not be tempted to ask about him and his whereabouts.
He had sent his servants away as soon as their work was done and he knew the maids and butlers were starting to worry and might even think badly of his ungrateful demeanor - not that he was I'll blame them.
He was truly terrible in his behavior! However, he could barely consider the feelings and thoughts of the servants and butlers at that moment because he was too engrossed in his own stubbornness, he said,
And it was annoying for him.
Because he had haunted her endlessly and mercilessly even when she was not there.
Although she had not admitted it before, but she knew deep down that her walls were not strong enough to repel a man like her so she had tried her best, giving all sorts of excuses to himself, until...
"There's no woman in this universe that I've ever needed and wanted more than you!" he growled excitedly, those silvery eyes shone intensely towards him and all his walls evaporated faster than the fog on the face of the afternoon sun.
"If I have the luxury of spending three days with Thea. Do you want to know what I've done with you ... to you in those three days? Evie's? I'll spend every minute and every second pleasing you, to show you how much I want you, how much I'd love to finally be allowed to touch and enjoy my own wife. I'll do everything to make you feel safe with me and then work as hard as I can to gain your trust until you finally trust me enough to, let me touch you. And when the time comes ... "
"When that day comes, I will do my best and will be as gentle or wild as you wish. First and foremost, I will hold you tight with me and feel your warmth in my arms, making you comfortable in my arms. I will gently brush your hair, adore every inch of your skin, hold your waist at my waist and then... I'm gonna kiss you. I will kiss you passionately and then when you open up to me, I will slide my tongue inside your mouth. I'm gonna lick your mouth .. lick every corner until you groan for me. I'll snare my tongue with your tongue and then suck and lick your tongue until we're both panting and hot and aroused. I will kiss you again and again until your lips swell up because of my love and then my tongue will move down. First along your jaw, I'll lick it as if it's the most delicious thing.."His hot breath follows his words, blows into his jaw and then down as he continues.
"I'll lick, kiss, and suck the curves of your neck and under your ears while my hands explore your body. I'll suck your skin and leave marks when I take off your dress, and then.my hands are under your breasts..." Evie gasped in embarrassment, her head feeling dizzy from all those intimate descriptions.
His face reddened as he looked at her with wide-eyed, unable to speak.
His eyes emitted a fierce glint as he groaned low, pleased with his reaction and continued with a more alluring voice.
"I'll rip your mouth out again when I squeeze your breasts until you wriggle under me because of the heat. And ... when you're ready, I'll lift your breasts to my mouth.. I'll kiss her, Evie, gently suck, bite them wet and hard.." heard another sigh, accompanied by a groan that echoed in their ears and Evie's hand flew into her mouth in shock.
