Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 481

Gabriel.

I pull away from Harper and just stare at her. The woman that I’d fallen in love with just mere months of her being back into my life.

After Ashley, I thought my heart was dead for good. That it would never beat again for another woman. I was content with just using them for their bodies and then dumping them when I got bored before jumping to another one.

I never saw Harper coming. I wasn’t prepared for her arrival and the changes she’d bring back to my life. She was a silent storm. One that consumed me and I let her, because there was just something about her that drew me in.

I look at her now, and I am filled with gratefulness. Thankful that she’s decided to give me a chance. To give us a chance. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted. I didn’t see it back then because I was blinded by pain and betrayal, but I do see it now, and I’m grateful to whoever it’s that granted us a second chance. I internally vow not to take it for granted and to be the man who deserves her.

With Harper’s body against mine, I lead her through the room and right up to the bedroom where I’ve imagined being buried inside her a million times.

“Are you sure about this? Are you sure you want this?”

Her brow rises. “Are you really trying to argue with me about what I want?”

“No, darling, I’m reminding myself that, instead of giving me the middle finger and walking away, you’re here with me, where I want you.” I smile at her and watch as her face goes soft.

Her gaze widens as I stalk toward her again.

We’ll leave in the morning. It gives me just enough time for me to make her mine again, completely and without room for doubt in her mind.

Harper’s lips part in a gasp, right as I reach for her. My hand slides around the back of her neck, anchoring her to me.

My lips taste, lick, and bite hers until they’re red, puffy and sensitive from where my facial hair rubs against them. I don’t stop, though. Her fingers grab my tie, loosening it and taking it off over my head, before reaching for the buttons on my shirt and pushing it off until my chest is completely bared to her.

I love how bold she is in this moment and that she wants me like I want her. Nothing was going to stop me from taking her, from taking what was always mine. I just need to know though.

“Who was your first?”
