Chapter 54: The bet

Gabriel

"What are you doing here?" My eyes open wide in shock at who is in front of me.

Lucas smiles and it tugs at y heartstrings "I needed to see you," he takes a step closer to me. His eyes are dark, as dark as the sky right now.

My heart rate quickens at his proximity, and my mind struggles to process his sudden appearance. "Is everything okay?" I ask, trying to maintain a composed front despite the flurry of emotions inside me.

"Yes, I needed to touch you," his hand slides over my arm and I feel the electricity as it surges through me "To kiss you," he adds, leaning even closer.

My breath hitches as his lips brush against mine, sending shivers down my spine. I melt into his embrace, my hands reaching up to tangle in his hair as I deepen the kiss. The world disappears around us, leaving only the two of us and the intensity of our desire.
