My heavy eyelids close and I feel his fingers deep inside me, his lips on my neck.

“Hmm.” I smile sleepily.

“Can I touch you while you sleep?” he whispers, his fingers slowly sliding in and out of my body. I’m so wet, my body is filled with him.

I smile sleepily, “Please,” I whisper.

I battle to keep my eyes open, to keep up with his needs, but I can’t.

Exhaustion takes over.

Dreams of technicolor.

I’m dozing through the ecstasy. Not awake and yet, not deeply asleep.

In between worlds.

Kisses and nibbles, fingers and tongue.

Gabriel’s quivering breath in my ear, whispering beautiful things in Italian.

My body being rolled one way and then the other as it fills his every craving.

Pillows underneath me.

His tongue on my behind, his soft moans as he comes deep inside my body.

Again, and again…… he takes me.

He worships my body and uses it for his pleasure.

Unable to stop himself, he keeps going and going.

Taking it all.

Sleep robs me of my time with him, and I’m not sure if I’m dreaming or if this is truly happening.

But whatever it is, don’t wake me up. This is the best night of my life.

I’m in heaven.

CHAPTER FIVE

GRACE

I wake with a start.

The room is dark, but I can tell that it’s morning, I sit up and look around. Gabriel is nowhere to be seen.

I drag my hands down my face as I go over the night we had.

Wow.

Incredible doesn’t come close for words to describe it.

I go to the bathroom and stare at my reflection. I look a right wreck, raccoon eyes and all. I tame down my hair and wash my face and throw on his robe that was hanging on the back of the door.

He must be making breakfast; a thrill of excitement runs through me, and I go in search of my man.
