... to marry him and be a stay at home wife, have kids, or did you ever want a career?” She blinked at him, clearly surprised with his question, but licked her lips and answered him. “I always wanted to work with children. At the convent we would visit orphanages. The nuns would make clothes and bring them books and toys. I loved that so much. Gabriel felt awed. He smiled at her. “Mike and I sometimes visit this youth center not far from here. We give a few music workshops for the kids there. Last year we donated a bunch of instruments for them. You can’t believe how fast that gets them off the streets when they have something they get passionate about.” Abigail’s mouth was ajar, eyes wide. “Oh, Gabriel, that is such a wonderful thing you’re doing.” He felt his face get hot and shrugged. “It’s just that I never had a male figure around when I was growing up and since I’m not the jock type, I wanted to give other kids like I was something they could get into besides sports.” “Music is so important for children. It actually stimulates the mind in a way that improves all other subjects of learning.” Gabriel grinned. “So it makes a person smarter?” “I’ve heard it said, yes.” Gabriel chuckled. “Well, I don’t think it worked very well for Ang.

God he just wanted to drag her beneath him and brand her completely, inside and out. “I’d never hurt you, Abby. I swear. I don’t believe in raising a hand to a woman. A man that does that should be strung up and whipped into oblivion. I do tend to be a bit overbearing and bossy, but, baby, I know you can handle all of me and more. Come on, Abby. Tell me you want to be mine.” He kissed her fingers, knuckles and back of her hand, holding her gaze with his. She was trembling, breath coming in rapid little pants from her sweet mouth. “Gabriel—“ “Yes, baby.” Her lashes batted quickly. Her tongue swiped across her upper lip. Gabriel licked the pad of her thumb before nipping it. She actually moaned, soft and shy. “It’s just that… the people, and the whole being in the spotlight constantly…” “I told you, it’s not always like that. Unless they can get dirt on us, they leave us alone. I’m not the wild type and neither are you. We’ll be a boring ...
