Chapter 39
The Night We Burn
Pov : Sloane
I sat across from Gabriel in the quiet room after our wedding; and now it was night.
He poured wine into my glass, and I took a sip, his eyes looking at me full of want. I felt my heart beat faster as we talked about the ceremony, but the words did not matter much, so I leaned closer to him.
Gabriel set his glass down; he reached for my hand, and I let him take it. We stared at each other for a moment, looking deeply into each other's eyes, then he pulled me toward him.
Our lips met in a kiss, starting the intimacy we had waited for on this wedding night.
The kiss started soft; I opened my mouth to him, his tongue touching mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck; he held my waist tight, and we kissed deeper now.
This was all I needed at the moment, building the heat between us slowly.
I pulled back a little. "Gabriel," I whispered; he smiled at me.
"Sloane," he said back, and I kissed him again, this time it felt urgent; we continued with more touches, our hands beginning to wander.
His hands moved to my dress; he started to unzip it, and I helped him. My dress fell to the floor; he looked at my skin, and I felt exposed but excited.
This was our wedding night, the moment we had dreamed of, filled with anticipation.
I reached for his shirt; I pulled it over his head, his chest bare now. I touched it with my fingers; he shivered a bit, and we kissed more, our hands exploring each other further.
The connection grew stronger, drawing us into the passion.
Gabriel stood up; he pulled me with him, and we moved to the bed. I sat on the edge; he knelt in front of me, his hands going to my lingerie. We took our time with foreplay, savoring every touch and glance.
He unhooked it slowly; I lifted my arms, and it slid off, now I was more bare. He stood and removed his pants; we were both almost naked, and I thought about how right this felt. Our eyes locked again, deepening the bond before we proceeded.
I thought about how much I wanted this: this is the perfect moment. Yes, I decided; Gabriel looked at me with love. I pulled him down onto the bed; we lay side by side, our eyes locked once more, lost in each other.
His hands touched my back; he caressed my skin, heat building inside me. We kissed again, harder; I rolled on top of him, my hands exploring his body.
He groaned softly; I liked the sound, it made me bolder, and we moved together in rhythm.
Gabriel flipped us over; now he was on top, his lips kissing my neck. I arched my back; his hands slid down, he touched me gently. I gasped.
"Yes," I said, he kept going, the heat growing stronger with every motion.
I closed my eyes; this felt so good, we took off the last clothes. Nothing between us now; I looked into his eyes again, he entered me slowly.
I held him tight; our bodies moved as one, I matched his rhythm, it felt raw, it felt perfect, I moaned his name; we had waited for this night.
He whispered in my ear, "I love you, Sloane"; I said it back. We went faster; the pleasure built, I felt it coming like a wave. I cried out; the wave hit me, Gabriel followed soon after, we both breathed hard; he stayed inside me for a moment, then he pulled out.
He lay beside me; his arm wrapped around me, I rested my head on his chest.
We were quiet; Gabriel spoke first, "That was amazing." I nodded, "It was"; I thought about us, how did we get here? I smiled to myself, reflecting on our journey to this point.
He stroked my hair, "I want this forever"; I looked up at him, "Me too," . I shut him up with a kiss just to prevent him from saying much. Right now it was just us, in this perfect afterglow.
He kissed my forehead; I felt safe in his arms, we talked about the future. "We can build a life together," he said; I agreed, "Yes, we can." Inside, I wondered if it was true, yet his words comforted me deeply.
We kissed again, this time slower; his hands explored me once more, I let him. We made love again; it was different this time, more tender. I held him close; after, we cuddled, savoring the closeness.
Gabriel fell asleep first; I watched him, his face peaceful.
I closed my eyes; sleep came slowly, dreams filled my mind. In them, we were together forever; morning light woke me.
Gabriel was still beside me, he opened his eyes, "Good morning," he said.
I smiled, "Good morning"; we kissed lightly.
Last night replayed in my head: it was the night we burned, but now it was day—what came next? I did not know; for now, I was happy, content in our new beginning.
Gabriel got up, he made coffee, and I stayed in bed. He brought me a cup; we sipped together, we talked about plans.
He held my hand, "I meant what I said," he told me. "Forever?" I asked; he nodded, "Forever." I believed him more now, the doubts fading away gradually.
But I thought about last night, the night we had burned. It was our night, the night we burned with passion; I would remember it always, a cherished memory.
Gabriel looked at me, "What are you thinking?" I told him, "About us"; he smiled. We left the room together, hand in hand.
Chapter 40: Ex- husband , step aside
POV : Sloane
I stood at the entrance of the grand hall, greeting guests as they stepped inside. They approached me with polite smiles, offering formal handshakes before moving further into the celebration. I focused on maintaining calm control, determined to ensure the evening unfolded without a single flaw.
Adrian appeared suddenly among the elegantly dressed crowd. He walked toward me with a desperate kind of certainty, his eyes fixed on mine. When he stopped in front of me, his voice trembled slightly as he said, “Please, let’s talk.”
I thought to myself, after all the betrayal and everything he put me through, he still has the nerve to beg for my attention. He believes I should listen as if nothing happened. My patience evaporated at the sight of him.
He spoke again, more urgently this time. “We can reconcile and start over,” he insisted, reaching forward as though he intended to grab my hand. I shifted my stance, refusing to allow him even that small connection.
With a steady voice, I told him, “Ex-husband, step aside.” The words left me firm and sure, drawing a boundary he could not cross. I watched realization sink into his expression as he froze.
He struggled to form a reply, but I had already signaled to security. The nearest guards approached with practiced efficiency, stopping beside him within seconds. They waited for my instruction without question.
“Escort him out,” I said clearly, refusing to waver.
They took hold of his arms and guided him toward the exit. Adrian protested, calling my name and demanding that I listen, but his pleas dissolved into the background noise. Guests watched with curiosity as he was removed from the hall, but I refused to allow the disruption to affect me.
I returned my attention to the event and steadied my breath. The incident lingered in my thoughts for a moment, but I forced it aside. This night belonged to something greater than old wounds, and I would not let him taint it.
Gabriel approached me not long after Adrian’s removal. He wrapped his hand around my waist in a way that always grounded me. That familiar warmth spread through my chest, reminding me of the man who had chosen to stand with me through every storm.
I thought, this man has never once made me feel uncertain or unwanted. He knows me deeply, and his love has brought stability into my life. I leaned slightly into him, grateful for his presence.
He lowered his voice near my ear and whispered, “Shall we find a quieter place for a moment?” The suggestion carried an intimacy only we shared. We slipped away from the crowd and moved down a quiet hallway, leaving the busy atmosphere behind us.
When we were finally alone, he cupped my face and kissed me with a passion that erased every trace of Adrian’s interruption. His lips captured mine with a hunger that made me melt into him entirely. My thoughts quieted as I surrendered to the moment.
I thought, in his arms, I feel seen and desired in ways I never felt before. With him, I am not someone’s second option or afterthought. Here, I am cherished.
We lingered in that embrace until we regained enough composure to return to the gala. Once we reentered the hall, conversations resumed around us, and music filled the space. Gabriel remained beside me, his steady presence offering silent reassurance.
In the days that followed, news of Adrian’s business troubles began circulating everywhere. Reports claimed his company was drowning in debt. Partners withdrew support, and major deals crumbled before his eyes.
I thought, this is the result of his own decisions, not something I caused. I owe him nothing, not sympathy, not help, not even a second glance. My focus is on building the life I deserve.
His downfall accelerated. Longtime associates distanced themselves, unwilling to link their reputations to his sinking empire. His name, once spoken with authority in industry circles, faded completely.
One afternoon, a letter addressed in his handwriting arrived at my office. I stared at it for a minute, recognizing immediately why he had sent it. The familiar shape of his script stirred nothing in me.
I thought, whatever these words are meant to convey, I no longer need to hear them. Apologies cannot rebuild what he destroyed. I refused to give those pages power over my peace.
Without opening it, I dropped the letter into the waste bin. My chest felt lighter as it fell from my hand. I chose my future over his regrets.
Later that day, Gabriel called. “How about planning our next getaway?” he asked, sounding excited. We exchanged ideas about possible destinations, each one more appealing than the last.
Our conversation flowed easily, just the way it always did. Together, we imagined beaches, mountains, and quiet cities where we could disappear for a while. By the end of the call, we had settled on a plan, and I felt joy rise in me.
I thought he brings adventure into my life, not chaos. He brings comfort, not confusion. With him, the future feels warm and certain.
As weeks passed, my career progressed steadily. New opportunities opened, and I embraced each one with confidence. I felt proud of the growth unfolding in my life.
Gabriel supported every step I took. We often spent evenings discussing our goals, sharing ideas, and learning from each other. His faith in me strengthened my resolve daily.
One night as we relaxed together at home, he pulled me close. “You amaze me every single day,” he murmured against my hair. I felt my heart swell at the sincerity in his voice.
Meanwhile, news outlets reported the final collapse of Adrian’s empire. His remaining assets were sold off, and he vanished from public view. His influence had dissolved completely.
Chapter 41: The Queen’s Rise
I sat in the conference room and listened to the announcement. They called my name as Forbes’ Woman of the Year. Gabriel squeezed my hand under the table. Daisy jumped up and clapped loudly. I thought, this is really happening to me. Gabriel whispered in my ear that he was proud. Daisy hugged me tight and said I deserved it.
We left the event and drove home together. Gabriel drove the car while Daisy chatted about the award. I stared out the window and wondered how my life changed so fast. Gabriel asked if I wanted to celebrate with dinner. Daisy suggested ice cream instead. I agreed to both ideas. We stopped at a restaurant first. Gabriel ordered my favorite dish. Daisy talked about school and her friends.
At home, we watched a movie in the living room. Gabriel sat next to me on the couch. Daisy fell asleep halfway through. I thought about the award and what it meant for my career. Gabriel carried Daisy to her bed. He came back and pulled me close. We finished the movie in silence. I felt happy with them around me. Gabriel kissed my forehead gently.
Later that evening, we cleaned up the kitchen. Gabriel washed the dishes while I dried them. Daisy was already in bed dreaming. I remembered the cheers from earlier. Gabriel said the award was just the start. I nodded and smiled at him. We talked about future plans. He mentioned a trip we could take. I liked the idea a lot.
We went upstairs to our room. The clock showed it was late at night. Gabriel closed the door behind us. I stood by the bed and looked at him. He walked over and started to undress me. His hands moved slowly on my clothes. I thought, this feels so right after today. He pulled off my shirt first. Then he kissed my shoulder softly.
His lips touched my skin and sent shivers through me. I reached for his shirt and unbuttoned it. We stood there facing each other. Gabriel whispered that I was his queen. I smiled and pulled him closer. His hands slid down my back. I thought about how much I loved him. He kissed my neck next. I closed my eyes and sighed.
We moved to the bed together. Gabriel lay down beside me. His lips found mine in a deep kiss. I wrapped my arms around him. He explored my body with his hands. I felt his warmth against me. He slid his fingers between my legs and rubbed my clit gently at first. I moaned softly into his mouth. His touch grew firmer and made me wet quickly.
I pushed him back and climbed on top of him. My hands pulled down his pants. His cock sprang free and stood hard for me. I thought, I want him inside me now. I lowered myself onto him slowly. His shaft filled me up completely. He groaned as I started to ride him. My hips moved up and down in rhythm. His hands gripped my breasts and pinched my nipples.
He flipped me over onto my back. His mouth went to my pussy next. He licked my folds and sucked on my clit. I arched my back and grabbed his hair. Waves of pleasure built inside me. I thought, don't stop, this feels amazing. His tongue flicked faster and pushed me closer to the edge. I came hard and shook under him. He kissed his way back up my body.
Gabriel positioned himself between my legs again. He thrust his cock into me deeply. We moved together in perfect sync. I wrapped my legs around his waist. His strokes hit all the right spots inside. I dug my nails into his back. He whispered dirty words in my ear. I replied with moans and his name. Sweat covered our skin as we went harder.
He pulled out and turned me onto my hands and knees. From behind, he entered me again. His hands held my hips tight. I pushed back against each thrust. The angle made him go deeper than before. I thought, this is so intense I might come again. He reached around and rubbed my clit while pounding me. Pleasure exploded through me once more. He followed soon after and filled me with his cum.
We collapsed onto the bed exhausted. He held me close as we caught our breath. I thought that was the best sex we've had.
