Chapter 146 - Hard

It was already dark when Gavriel's eyes finally slitted open. However, he did not move a muscle and was not in a rush to get up from bed. Because after opening his eyes, his senses told him that there was a little warm and soft creature peacefully sleeping in his arms. He breathed in deeply and relished the warm weight he held.

He smiled and kissed her hair gently. The sight of her peaceful face had warmed his entire being and he could not help but feel incredibly satisfied and contented just by waking up this way with her in his arms. He could really get used to this. The thought of waking every day with her beside him warmed someplace cold and frozen, deep within him just made it all the more precious.

For a long while, he stayed there, unmoving, until Evie finally shifted and snuggled even closer towards him. And then, accidentally, her bent knee brushed against his groin. Gavriel had an immediate reaction from that sweet and innocent touch. He caught his lips between his perfect white teeth and bit back the groan that almost escaped his mouth.

Still, he did not move for another long while until he suddenly rolled away and lay on his back, panting as though he had just run a marathon. A long and deep sigh escape his mouth and he rose and leaned his back against the headboard. After glancing at Evie once again, he run his fingers through his hair and climbed off the bed.

He walked around the bed and stood on her side, staring down at her peaceful face, still happily asleep in her dreamland. Sighing again, Gavriel leaned down and tucked the blanket up to her neck, making sure she did not catch a chill. Then he kissed her cheek and whispered. "This considerate husband of yours will give you a little more time to sleep, my love."

Once he pulled away, Gavriel lit up the fire in the hearth, and the dark room lit up in a warm, reddish golden glow before heading out.

When he returned, he was wearing a robe and his hair was damp. He had gone to take a bath and he had really dawdled in the bath just so he would delay himself and tried extending the time as long as possible from returning to the room where Evie was sleeping. However ..

To his disappointment, Evie was still contentedly sleeping when he returned. He sighed again as he sat on the chair by the fire, staring mutely at her sleeping form. However, the man was growing impatient as time ticked by. He began to pace up and down the room and even created some subtle sounds in the hopes of 'accidentally' waking Evie up. His brows creased in a furrow before he approached the bed and bent over her.

"Wife.." he whispered, letting his breath fan across her face, "it's late. It's time for you to wake up now. Cause this big bad wolf is now dying of hunger."

He waited for a response, but Evie remained motionless. Not giving a single sign that she was going to wake up soon.

Dropping his head, Gavriel sat at the edge of the bed. Was his wife always such a sleeping log before? He could not believe this little wife of his was torturing him like this to no end. And she was even doing this unknowingly while she was asleep! Oh, for the love of god!

When he felt her shifting in her sleep, Gavriel's face lit up. However, to his dismay, Evie did not open her eyes. God help him.. because he could not take it anymore.

"Very well, my wife.." he muttered to himself as he stood decisively. He removed his robe slowly as he looked down at her and let his robe fall to the floor. "This big bad wolf shall wake you up in a way you will never forget." His gaze glimmered and he quietly climbed onto the bed with a mischievous and thrilled smile on his face.

Completely naked, Gavriel loomed over Evie as he started planting kisses all over her throat in the gentlest and softest way possible. At that moment, he was like a naked pagan god who had fallen in love with a sacrificial maiden and was now worshipping every single inch of her.

He began to whisper endearments as he continued trailing kisses further down. His fingers carefully and slowly peeled off her clothes as if he had all the time in the world. When her skin was finally bared before his hungry eyes, he swallowed. Hard.

The golden light coming from the fire in the hearth kissed her skin and she looked incredibly breath-taking. His eyes worshipped her beauty and he struggled to keep himself in check to not pounce on her and just swallow her whole. Thankfully, this time Gavriel managed to easily tame his raging desire and hunger. He would take his time and enjoy this moment. He wanted to know how long would he take to wake her up.

Gavriel's mouth returned to her throat before his tongue trailed down her collarbones to her breasts. He licked her nipples until they hardened. Still Evie had yet to wake up. But that did not discourage Gavriel, instead, he smiled even more in anticipation. This was really going to get good. He parted his lips and brushed his tongue over her buds, flicking then licking them again and again until they were wet and a moan finally escaped Evie's mouth.

"Hmm.." she moaned, and both her hands flew to his head, fingers entangled in his thick ebony locks. Without letting go of her nipple, Gavriel lifted his gaze, thinking that his wife was finally awake. To his surprise, his little mischievous wife was still asleep. However, her body was honest in its response to him, and he could only grin wider.

A wicked gleam flashed in his eyes and the big bad wolf began to stroke and suck her buds. His tongue danced in a swift yet clever rhythm. She moaned again but still did not wake up. But the moment Gavriel gently tugged her nipple, Evie gasped, and her eyes flew open.

Confusion and desire reeled her mind as she struggled to make sense of what was happening as she awoke. W-what's..

Evie took a while to register what was happening. Her eyes were wide as she looked down at the dark mop of hair hovering over her breasts and.. oh my..!

He glanced up at her and his intense eyes made her catch her breath. With a cool and devious smile touching the corner of his lips, he let go of her nipple with a pop and playfully pinched her chin.

"I didn't know you were this hard to wake, my love." He said in a husky and sensuous voice.
