Page 38 of Plunge into Obsession

I grinned back at her, and for the first time in a long time, I felt my age.

Twenty-five wasn’t old by any means, but most days, it seemed like I had been alive for much longer than that.

That I hadn’t experienced anything I was supposed to at my age.

I moved my hips more dramatically, and Kaia looked like she was about to lean over and say something to me when she stopped.

The smile on her face slowly disappeared, and what was left was an expression of surprise.

I frowned at her, but huge hands landed on my hips before I could say or do anything.

I tensed when I felt his warmth on my back, and even before I turned around to see who had pulled me close to his hard, muscular body, my heart was already beating erratically in my chest.

“No?” he asked, his brown eyes darkening and glinting with heat and amusement.

The hand between my shoulder blades moved, and he cupped my cheek, his palm warm, comforting.

“You will,” he said cryptically, dancing seductively against me.

Something I hadn’t known about him.

Gabriel was a damn good dancer.

So good, I would have been afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep up had he not been the one leading.
