Gabriel decided to go back to the living room, thinking Sydney had gone to his room just to find her asleep on the couch.
He ran a hand through his hair and yawned before switching off the television then bent to wake her up but stopped midway.
His hand that hung in the air moved to push a strand of hair off her face.
He stared at her dreamily and said affectionately, " You deserve all the good things Sydney. Even if your husband couldn't give them to you, I will. I promise."
" I'll try to be a better person. The past wouldn't repeat itself, especially not with you."
His eyes trailed down her closed eyes to her pinkish luscious lips. God knows how much he'd wanted to feel those lips on his.
You could, you don't have to ask. You never have to ask for what you desire. A wicked voice in his head edged him.
His fist clenched. No, not with her. Never with her. He fought back.
