Page 72 of A Forgotten Mistake

“Liam?”

“I love you,” I whisper.

“You better. You promised to give me the world, but if you aren’t in my world, I don’t want it,” Gabriel says. “Do you understand?”

I nod. “I do… I promise. Anything you want, I’ll give it to you.”

“So then you better not leave me.”

“I won’t. I won’t leave you. I won’t make you regret choosing me. I won’t make you regret giving up everything for me.”

“I’m not giving everything up for you. You act like it’s a hardship, but it’s not. This is what I want. Iwantyou. Ineedyou,” he says, voice desperate. “Do you understand that? You can’t just… rock my whole world and then run away.”

“I’m sorry. I’m not running away. I won’t run away.”

“If you ever try, I will find you. I will make you pay for leaving me behind. You’re mine and I’m really greedy, Liam. I try not to be. I try to be nice and kind and caring and everyone thinks I’m selfless, so let me be selfish for once.”

“You are literally perfect in every way, and I’m so afraid I will ruin that.”

“Maybe in front of everyone else I can pretend to be, but I don’t want to ever have to pretend to be anything in front of you. You are mine. Every part of you. And I’ve accepted that. I’ve accepted everything about you.” He lets go of my head to pick up my hands. “What the hell did you do to your hands? Why would you rub at your split knuckles until they bled like this?”

Gabriel holds my hands between us as he looks at the broken skin in frustration.

“Don’t upset me like this. Don’t ever hurt yourself.” He lets go of my hands, so I tuck my head against him. His fingers sink into my hair a moment before he pulls my head back and kisses me feverishly. “You promised to hand me the world. I better get the fucking world.”

“You will. With a bow on top.”

His mouth meets mine again, his lips capturing me as he willingly lets me draw him into the darkness of my life.

Gabriel’s so perfect that I can’t fathom ever letting him go… no… I’ll never let him go. I will do anything and everything for this man as long as he lets me.

Liam

Gabriel kisses me deeply. It’s like he’s taking over me, and I love every second of it. I love the way his lips move against mine, the way he yanks the zipper of my pants down, and the way he makes me feel like I’m his whole world.

Breathing hard, Gabriel pulls back slightly. “You’ve made me yours, so that means you’re mine. You can’t forget that.”

I quirk an eyebrow. “If I get this much attention every time I forget, it makes me want to claim to forget more often.”

He squeezes my face. “I’m not listening to jokes,” he declares as his hand reaches into my underwear and draws out my cock. The rough feeling of his fingers immediately gets my attention. “Don’t you dare try this shit again, you hear me?”

“I do, and I won’t.”

Gabriel shoves his pants down and off as I watch, feeling hypnotized by him. His hand moves over my length before he yanks open the cabinet door, smacking me with it in his vigor. He doesn’t seem to care as he grabs an unopened box of lube he must have stored down there and tears it open, like… box torn inhalf, and I have no idea why it’s the sexiest thing. Am I so far in over my head that even ripping open a box turns me on?

He unscrews the cap and then starts an ultimate showdown with the foil covering the opening of the tube. He hooks the edge with his teeth and finally manages to tear it off as I watch in pure amazement and adoration. How can this be so sexy?

That is until he slides two wet fingers against his hole, and then I realize ripping the box was just foreplay becausethisis now the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.

“You going to listen to me now?” he asks, grabbing my face with his free hand. It must have some lube on it from him opening the tube with vigor because I can feel the way it smears across my face, but I don’t even care. He could coat my face in it, and I would be positive that it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me becausehe’sthe one doing it. He could do anything and everything to me as long as he never leaves me.

Gabriel squeezes my cheeks. “I didn’t hear you answer my question.”

“It’s because I was so mesmerized by everything you do that you left me at a loss for words,” I inform him.

Clearly, that’s not the answer he wants because he squeezes my cock a little bit. Definitely not enough to hurt, but enough to snag my attention.
