Gabriel’s POVI leave Lily in the sitting room, my frustration with today's events still simmering as I head to my room. My mind, however, remains fixed on winning Jasmine's heart. My phone rings, snapping me out of my thoughts. I glance at the screen to see Shane's face on a video call. I grunt, curious about what he wants, especially since we just parted ways at the hotel. But I answer anyway. To my surprise, Nick and Alex appear alongside Shane, their mischievous grins making me smile. "What's up, guys?" I ask, sensing they're up to something. I cherish our bond - it's rare to find friends like us who have each other's backs for so long. We share an unspoken understanding: one person's problem is everyone's concern. I know they're worried about me, and that's why they're calling."Hey, man, we just wanted to check in and make sure you're doing okay," Shane says, his voice laced with concern."I'm good, guys," I reply, kicking off my shoe and relaxing into the conversation.Nick ch

Jasmine’s POV"You're going to crush it tonight, Jasmine! I'm thinking of you and can't wait to see you tonight. Good luck, beautiful!"That brought smiles to my face, coupled with the feeling that I would see him tonight. That seems to make my heart flutter the most. I place my hand on my chest trying to calm my heart.How do I act around him, do I apologize for not calling him back as promised or should I just pretend like all is well?The girls had worked their magic, and I felt like a completely different person. and by the time we left for dinner, I was feeling much more like myself.As we arrived at the venue, I was taken aback by the grandeur of the setting. The room was filled with people mingling and chatting, I felt a sense of pride that I was a part of this world now.Kelly and Sarah stuck by my side as we made our way through the crowds, introducing me to important people and making sure I had everything I needed. I was grateful for their support and friendship, and I knew

As Gabriel crashes his lips onto mine, the fireworks that erupt are nothing compared to what's happening in my head right now. They shoot through my body, sending immense heat straight to my core in an inexplicable way. Gabriel bites my lower lip, and my lips part instantly, allowing a moan to escape from my mouth. His warm, sweet tongue gains access, mingling with mine, and his taste explodes in my mouth. His hand moves to cup my ass, squeezing my cheek and pulling me closer to him. I feel his hardness pressing against my core, and it's undeniable.I don't realize how far we've moved until I feel my back hitting the couch. I break from the kiss and look into Gabriel's eyes. Our eyes lock, and I can tell his eyes are dark with lust. His desires consume him, making my body pull even more strongly to him, like a magnet.Gabriel's eyes burn with intensity, and I can feel his warm breath on my skin. My heart races, and my pulse quickens. I'm drawn to him, my body aching for his touch. I l

Jasmine’s POVI struggle, my eyes opening as I start to speak, "I... I..." I stutter, unsure if I'm ready to give in to the cloud of emotions running high. I see the expectation in Gabriel's eyes; I know he doesn't want to do something we'll both regret. He wants that confirmation.Trying to find the courage to speak, I begin, "I..." But I stop abruptly when we hear the sound of someone banging on the door. "Fuck," Gabriel mutters, cursing as he hurriedly pulls away from me, putting on his pants. I look down at myself and realize I'm naked, too.I look at the door, then at myself, and finally at Gabriel, who has an unbothered look on his face as he watches me with wounded eyes. I know he wasn't happy that he was cock-blocked. I shook my head and hurriedly put on my gown. The knocks grow louder, and I wonder who's at the door. I look at myself and see that I'm decent enough to answer it.I make my way to the door, trying to compose myself as I go. I take a deep breath, trying to calm m

"Bad timing?" he asks, his voice coming through the phone. I shake my head, forgetting he can't see me. "Not really, what's up?" I reply, trying to hide my exhaustion."Jasmine, I'm so sorry for calling you at this time of day," Ryan apologizes, "but I need to inform you that the discrepancy is still happening, and I have no idea why it hasn't been fixed."My eyes grow heavier, but I force myself to focus. "Really? That's strange since I reported it to the higher authority." I try to sound alert, but my voice is laced with sleepiness. "Don't worry, I'll check on it for you as soon as it's Monday. There's nothing I can do now since it's the weekend."Ryan's voice is filled with gratitude. "Oh, that'll be great. I appreciate your effort, and thanks for the dance."I smile, despite my fatigue. "You're welcome, Ryan. Bye.""Bye, Jasmine," he replies, and we end the call. I let out a sigh, my eyes finally giving in to the weight of sleep.After my call with Ryan, I went to bed, my mind sti
