Is this destiny?

Chapter 1806 - The Second Date (the Real One) (4)

Miss Kassel stopped talking when Gabriel narrowed his eyes and even the two ladies behind the nosy woman stared in shock while waiting to hear what Gabriel will say next.

"Miss Kassel, you are not aware of things related to the Long family because you are not qualified to know them. But since you insist on putting your nose where it does not belong, I will inform you that Victoria is not part of the Long family and your reckless remark made my fiancée uncomfortable. I don't expect you to apologize for being inconsiderate, because you were always like that and I have no desire to educate you on what your parents failed when you were a child. Say hi to your father from me.", Gabriel ended in an icy tone.

Miss Kassel was unable to respond. Gabriel said so many things… does that mean he is divorced? And the girl next to him is his fiancée? Did he insult her? And what was that about her father? Gabriel didn't sound friendly… Was that a threat? If her father's business ends up having difficulties due to her indiscretion, her father will skin her alive. Ah, she only wanted to poke the bear and find out some gossip! After all, catching Gabriel Long with a mistress is not a small thing.

Gabriel held Becca tightly and led the way toward the stables. She followed robotically. Becca knows that Gabriel said she is his fiancée only to shut up that nosy woman, but it still came as a surprise.

"I'm sorry, Becca… Miss Kassel was Victoria's frenemy who eyed the position of Mrs. Long. Today, she approached us to confirm that I am cheating so that she can break up my marriage and take advantage of it. There are not many people like Miss Kassel, but once in a while, they show up. Are you OK?"

Becca looked at Gabriel and she could not believe that the man is who looking her with warmth is the same one who was intimidating two minutes ago.

"Uhm… you said she wanted to be your wife? Does that mean she will target me?"

"Only if you allow it. Don't let her get into your head, and she will lose all the weapons she has."

Becca nodded in understanding. That woman is a scheming blabbermouth.

Becca picked up one more thing Gabriel said. "There are more of them?"

"It does not matter how many of them are there… For me, you are the only one. As long as you don't let them rattle you, it will be alright."

Becca exhaled a shaky breath. She remembered the real estate agent who was ready to spread her legs for Gabriel before she even met him. 'How troublesome…', Becca thought.

Gabriel could see that Becca is uncomfortable. Who wouldn't be? He decided to shake things up a bit and not allow Becca to build up scenarios that will make her dislike him.

"Let's try something different…"

Gabriel let go of Willow's reins and waved at the stablemaster who was waiting further ahead before giving a light slap on Willows behind, to get her to move toward the stable.

Becca was not sure what Gabriel wanted to do, but she followed when he helped her get on top of Starbreaker. A second later, Gabriel got into the saddle behind her.

Becca closed her eyes when she felt Gabriel's crotch pressing on her behind, and his arms held the reins around her.

"Hold on…", Gabriel spoke close to Becca's ear and Starbreaker burst into a gallop.

Gabriel leaned forward, his chest pressed on her back and Becca was not sure what is more exhilarating… Gabriel's closeness, the speed, or the fact that she might fall off that giant horse and break her neck. But this feeling of Gabriel around her, it might be worth breaking a few necks.

His arms were firm on each of her sides, and she knew that he will not let her fall.

It took less than a minute for Becca to forget about Miss Kassel and all other women who are eyeing Gabriel, because none of them were important.

Gabriel pulled the reins to the right, and Starbreaker went off the track, into the forest.

Becca screamed at the sight of all the branches that almost smacked her, and Gabriel laughed.

After an unknown measure of time, Starbreaker slowed down.

"You are the first woman who rode on Starbreaker with me.", Gabriel said.

Becca liked this information, and she noticed that he called her a 'woman' and not a 'girl' how he usually does. It might not be much, but for Becca, it was.

She had to ask… "Why are you telling me that?"

"Because I want you to know that you are my first in many things. This dating someone you like and want to know better is new for me as well."

Becca was glad that he can't see her face because other than blushing, she has a silly grin as well. She leaned on his chest and tilted her head slightly so that she does block his view. However, this position exposed her neck, and she didn't see Gabriel smirking.

He said that he will not rush Becca into anything, but that does not mean that he will not give her a push in the right direction when the right opportunity presents itself.

Gabriel knows that this will be a form of torture for him, but he can't miss this chance to show Becca what she is missing… and what is coming.

Gabriel's right hand moved from the reins toward Becca's face and he cupped her chin, keeping her head in place as his lips landed on her neck.

Becca inhaled sharply and felt goosebumps all over her skin as Gabriel's kisses moved higher.

He nibbled on her ear, sending electric currents through her body and she gripped his thigs to steady herself.

His kisses traveled over her neck toward her shoulder, how much her clothes allowed, and a breathy moan escaped her when he sucked her neck gently.

Gabriel's whole body stiffened. Becca's lustful sound was beyond amazing and he wondered what else he will hear when they roll between sheets.

"Becca…", he called in a voice deeper than usually.

"Yes?", she breathed.

Gabriel exhaled and let go of Becca so that he can tug on the reins. "Let's go back…"

Becca was dazed and she was not sure why he stopped so abruptly. Did she do something wrong? "What? Why?"

"Becca…", he called again, this time with a warning in his voice that vibrated against the skin on her neck.

His arm snaked around her waist and he pulled her all the way toward him so that she can feel his erection against her bottom.

"If we don't leave, I will press you here on the ground."

Becca was not sure how to respond, so she kept quiet. She was happy to know that he is turned on, and at the same time embarrassed and afraid as well. Being with Gabriel is many things, but boring is not one of them. She never knew that she can feel this… wanted.

They returned to the stables and Gabriel said his goodbyes to Starbreaker and Becca didn't dare look at Gabriel. Everything was fresh and raw, and she was not sure how to face him.
