Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 620

Chapter 620: In silent invitation

Amelie and Gabriel returned to the palace in the quiet of the evening. Noah, exhausted from the day’s excitement, had already fallen into a deep sleep during the journey back. As Gabriel lowered him gently into his crib, Amelie stepped forward to tuck a small, warm blanket around the sleeping boy.

"Noah is going to have a long sleep. He played a lot today," Gabriel whispered.

"I agree." Amelie stretched her arms wide, the fatigue finally settling into her bones. She moved to the bed after removing her warm coat and sat down, pulling her knees to her chest. She was gently massaging her aching legs and feet when Gabriel joined her. Without a word, he took one of her legs and rested it across his lap.

"Gabriel, you don’t have to," Amelie said softly as she immediately touched his hand.

"I like it," Gabriel answered, his eyes meeting hers with steady devotion. "Whenever I do something for you, it makes me happy."

Amelie felt her resistance melt away at his words. She pulled her hand back and leaned her head back, allowing herself to relax as he began to care for her.

When he finally finished, he rested his palm lightly on her ankle. "We should head back to San Ravendale soon. It feels like the right time."

"Yes," she agreed.

Amelie then shifted, drawing her legs beneath her until she was kneeling in front of him. She reached out, cradled his face in both hands, and tilted it gently upward. Her lips brushed his, once, softly, then returned with certainty. Her long hair slipped forward, curtaining them both.

Gabriel’s eyes deepened to rich violet while hers shimmered a dark, fathomless blue. The second kiss came slower, but deeper. His hands slid to her back, drawing her down until she settled naturally into his lap, legs straddling his hips.

Her arms looped around his neck as the kiss stretched on. Soft, shared breaths and tiny gasps were the only sounds in the room.

After a long moment, one of Gabriel’s hands drifted forward. His palm found the gentle curve of her breast and closed tenderly over it.

Amelie moaned softly into his mouth, her fingers threading into the back of his hair, tugging gently at the strands as heat surged between them. They broke the kiss at the same moment, but the desire for each other hand outgrown.

Gabriel dipped his head as lips found the sensitive curve of her neck. He sucked lightly, then harder, drawing a sharp, involuntary gasp from her. The sound echoed louder than she intended in the quiet room. Her eyes flicked toward the crib, her heart stuttering at the thought of waking Noah, so she quickly bit down on her lower lip to stifle any more noise.

Even so, her hand stayed cradled against the back of his head, fingers stroking through his hair in silent encouragement.

"Amelie," Gabriel breathed against her skin roughly as his mouth drifted lower to her collarbone, "we can’t stop now... Can we?"

She looked down. His gaze was already locked on hers. He grazed his teeth over the delicate ridge of bone, then nipped just sharply enough to make her gasp again, a small, helpless sound that melted into a quiet cry.
