After My Death, My Husband Who Threw Me Into the Hunting Grounds Went Insane novel Chapter 129

AUDREY

The Starks were gathered at the veranda when Grabiel and I returned to the villa. It's as if they were waiting for us. The caretakers were serving food at the table.

"They know?" I asked involuntarily. 

"Of course. Why do you think we're here?" Gabriel said, waving his hand at his family, who were still in awe. My tears swelled with inexplicable joy.

"Congratulations, Audrey," Elazar greeted. "Welcome to the family."

"Welcome to the family, Audrey." Helen Stark automatically sandwiched me in her arms. I finally teared up. I was a part of the family now.

"Congrats, future sis." Coulson briefly hugged me as well, but Maya almost jumped at me.

 "At last, a sister! I'm tired of having just two grumpy brothers. I can finally have someone to share my sentiments with, you know." She squeezed me before releasing me.

I wiped my tears and laughed. "Thank you, everyone… I don't know what to say."

Gabriel's hand slipped into my waist. "There's nothing to say, love." He kissed my temple. "Just enjoy the moment."

"You're so cute together. I knew he was into you the first time I saw you in the art gallery," Maya said.

"He's into her longer than that," Coulson inserted. "Now, why don't we celebrate?" He picked up a bottle of champagne and uncorked it. The liquor burst up, and everyone applauded again.

"So, when is the wedding?" Elazar asked when we were sitting, and we began digging up the food on the table that seemed to be dishes you could find in luxurious restaurants.

"Dad, we haven't talked about that yet," Gabriel answered.

"Oh my!" Helen clasped her mouth. "The babies you would make. I'm not old, but I love to have grandchildren running around our house!"

"Aren't we being too forward?" Coulson said. "Let's have them decide."

Helen tapped her son's arm. "When are you going to introduce your girlfriend?"

Everybody laughed.

"Oh, that's not going to happen soon, Mom, and I don't have a girlfriend," Coulson retaliated.

"He still can't move on with Clarissa," Maya mentioned, whispering at me.

Coulson rolled his eyes. "I heard that."

We all laughed again. 

During the dinner, they only asked us about how we met, and of course, we told them the truth, but less about Gabriel's issue with my family, although I knew they were aware. They somehow admired how we were destined to meet again. It was fate that brought us together again.

The dinner lasted in our conversation about our plans for the future, and Gabriel enlightened them on how much he wanted our wedding to happen soon, but we still have unfinished business to do. I knew he meant our current problem with my father.

After dinner, we all went to our bedrooms, and it was what exactly I needed right now. My feet still felt sore from walking for hours, and I felt a need to get a bath. 

"Not so fast, beautiful." Gabriel halted me before getting into the bathroom and brought me to bed. I was spread on the cushion, and he moved on top of me.

I giggled. "Gabriel, I stink!" 

He lowered his head to my neck and started kissing me. "You don't. You smell good," he whispered hotly in my ear, skillfully slipping his hand under my blouse at the same time. Then he cupped my breast, fingers tugged on my hardened nipples.

 "Ahh…" I whimpered when he found the hook of my bra and let it loose. He swore softly under his breath, murmuring praises. He pushed himself up. He pulled my clothes up to my head and tugged them away. Then he clutched the hem of my jeans and yanked it down with panties.

He returned to me, and his fingers slid down my slit, and leisurely he pumped his finger deep inside my pussy, and hit my spot in one stroke.

"Oh my…" I breathed.

"You're so sweet, my angel." He pulled his fingers and brought it into his mouth. "You taste sweet too."

My mouth parted. It was the most erotic thing I'd ever seen. He stripped himself and tossed his clothes off, and he raised his knees back to the bed. I looked down at his majestic form. I chewed my bottom lip at the sight of his delicious defined abs, and his cock was harder and thicker than ever before. 

Gabriel's hands gilded under my buttocks and savored my soft flesh before hugging me close to him. I moaned as I opened obediently, and he spread my legs wider. Slowly, he thrust into me. He gritted his teeth as he did.

"You're right," he said gruffly. My pussy was sucking him deeper inside of me, and his two swollen orbs slapped against my flesh every time he thrust. Gabriel closed his eyes as he began to fuck me harder.

My breathing became unsteady, and the moans I made were getting louder each time he rocked his cock deeper. I was suddenly so lost in his world. 

"I could never get enough of you," he said breathlessly as he kept his tempo. 

I tightened my grasp on his shoulder, keeping up to his frequency and the force of his movements. 

***

I woke in the middle of the night without Gabriel on the bed. I looked up at the clock, and it was only one in the morning. I stepped out of bed and slipped a glance at the balcony, and I saw him standing there. He was on the phone, and I heard Duke's name. He was murmuring a familiar, pressured voice.

I didn't shower earlier because I had fallen asleep, so I walked into the shower. I noticed Gabriel's voice was getting louder. I could hear it from the bedroom. He was cursing on the line, but I wasn't sure if he talked to his friend anymore. I had never heard him so angry like this before.

Hurriedly, I finished my bath and stepped out of the bathroom. 

"Gabe? What's going on?" I called when I opened the door. He was already sitting on the bed with his head down and his face buried in his palms. He didn't seem to hear me, so I paced towards him and sat beside him.

"She's telling the truth, Audrey…" he whispered dejectedly.

He was slightly surprised. He looked at me. "I didn't want you to be involved in this."

"Gabriel, we're supposed to do everything together, right?"

His eyes softened, and he smiled slightly. "I know, and I understand you want to be there for me, but I don't want you to hear all of that. I don't want your mind to be tainted, and I'm afraid that I might frighten you."

"But I've gone through harder than that," I assured him.

"Come here." He spread his arms and pulled me close to him. He kissed my hair. "You have nothing to worry about, love. Or are you worried about something?"

I didn't answer right away, although I did. "Well… I want to ask you something."

He sighed. "I knew it. Tell me, angel?"

"All this time, you thought your ex-girlfriend lied to you. What do you feel now that she didn't betray, and you—"

"And that I didn't listen to her and believed her?"

I nodded. "Yes, and I want an honest answer."

"I fucked-up. I feel like crap," he answered. That's why he was almost in tears. Of course, he'd feel bad. 

 "Are you having second thoughts now?" I looked up at his face. And I was nervous about his answer. What if he realizes he still wanted his ex? And that he'd feel so bad about himself?

He frowned. "About what?"

"About this. About your proposal."

"Oh, angel." His arms tightened around me. "Our relationship is the best thing that has happened in my life. Of course, I'm not having second thoughts. I am very sure that you're the only woman I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. You're the only one who showed me I'm capable of love."

I rested my head on his shoulder again. "I can say the same."

He pinched my nose lightly. "Don't think of anything else, okay?"

"Okay, but I want something." I wrapped my arms around his body. 

"Anything you want, my angel."

"Bring me Indonesian fried noodles when you return after your hearing. I've wanted to try that for a long time. It looks delicious on TV."

His serious expression faded, and he laughed softly. "Where am I supposed to get that in New York?"

I buried my face in his chest and pouted. "Not my problem."
