Gabriel stared at her parted lips. He found it impossible to resist touching them because they were so alluring.
He put his thumb to her lips and traced them gently. The desire to kiss her lips was immediately sparked by their softness. His heart yearned for her, just as much as his body did.
Gabriel was so close to kissing her that he was unable to contain his feelings even though he was unable to express them.
Gabriel cautiously edged closer, his eyes never leaving her lips, and planted a soft kiss on hers.
He recalled that Eveline had slapped him after their first kiss, which he took to be a sign of doom. However, this time he asked for more delicacy and subtlety in his movements.
With her eyes closed, Eveline felt the warmth of his lips against hers as she fisted her palm against her lap. It was abrupt, but not as abrupt as it had been.
