Chapter 628: Cat Thief

"How can you so this? I gave myself to you last night and now you are abandoning me? Leaving me in the middle of the night and escaping like a thief..."

The figure at the edge of the bed froze for a moment, before decisively deciding to walk away. However, as the person tried to get up, they were unable to move. The bedsheet that they were clutching was being pulled at.

Frowning, the person turned back to tug at it and froze... Gabe Frost was lying on top of the bedsheet, pinning it and her in place... And his face was set in a pout that should have been utterly ridiculous on his face but with his tousled hair and deep (morning) voice, it looked totally adorable.

Autumn tried tugging at the bedsheet, her plan to escape while Gabe was asleep now foiled.

"Gabe, let go!" she hissed, trying to keep her voice down despite her face turning red. The man did not even have any shame. He was lying on top of the bedsheet, all naked and...no she wouldn’t look there... She tugged at the bedsheet but it wouldn’t move an inch...

"Gabe...", she tried again, coaxing him.

"No," he replied simply, his pout deepening. "You don’t get to just leave after taking advantage of me."

"Seriously? You’re going to hold me hostage with a bedsheet?" Autumn raised an eyebrow, trying to suppress a laugh at his behavious. Despite his lack of clothing, the man somehow managed to look funny and humorous.

Gabe’s eyes twinkled mischievously. "It seems to be working, doesn’t it? Besides, it’s not every day that I find someone trying to sneak away like a cat burglar."

"I wasn’t sneaking away..." Autumn tried to explain but Gabe shook his head at her as he gave a sigh of disappointemnt," Tsk tsk, you were trying to sneak away... and now you are even lying to me... You, Autumn Frost are a total..."

"Gabe! It’s almost dawn. Arabelle can be back anytime. I really need to go back to my room."

Gabe tugged at the bedsheet playfully, his smile widening at her frustration. "If you want to abandon me, fine. But you can’t steal my bedsheet."

Autumn turned to glare at him again," I’ll return it to you. Just let it go now."

"Nope! You were already planning to fleece me and run. Even robbing me of my early morning snack and now you want to take my bedsheet away as well. I won’t let you do that."

Autumn rolled her eyes," I had no idea you could be so dramatic! Stop being a drama queen and let me go!!!"

Furiously, Autumn tugged hard at the bedhseet as well, determined to make her escape as soon as possible. Unexpectedly as she put all her weight behind pulling the bedsheet, Gabe swiftly moved, causing the bedhseet to slide from under him and her to fall backwards.

In one quick motion, Gabe reached out and pulled her to him, pinning her under him, his thigh over her legs. His eyes bore into hers, a mixture of amusement and something deeper.

"Gotcha," he murmured, his voice a low rumble.

Autumn squirmed beneath him, her frustration melting into a mix of exasperation and something she didn’t want to admit. "Gabe, this is ridiculous."

"Maybe," he said, his tone playful yet serious. "And stop squirming or you’ll ruin my late night snack."

Autumn stilled, her breath caught in her throat, when she felt him near her hip before coloring and squirming, "Gabe, let me go. Arabelle will be here anytime, and we cannot be like this in front of her..."

"There’s still time. The sun is not even up yet..." Gabe whispered against her ear, his nose nuzzling her neck.

"But, we need to clean up everythng..."

"First we need to...." Gabe’s voice trailed off as he lifted his head, his eyes locking onto hers.

Without breaking eye contact, he leaned in closer, his lips hovering just above hers. The air between them felt charged, electric. Autumn’s heartbeat quickened, her resolve wavering as she felt the gentle brush of his lips against hers. As expected, her eyes closed welcoming his kiss,yearning for it...

The kiss quickly turned from slow and soft to a deep burning desire. With a groan, Gabe shifted Autumn so that she was now lying on top of him...

***

The next time Autumn woke up, the darkness had already dissipated, and it was bright sunlight outside. She stretched slowly, parts of her aching that never had before and smiled. Never had she imagined that making love would be so...

The sound of voices outside the door snapped her out of her reverie. She bolted upright in bed, clutching the bedsheet to her chest as she recognized her sister’s voice talking with two male voices. Gabe and... one of the other Frost brothers! Probably Seb...

Her heart raced as panic set in. How was she going to get out of this without being seen? Arabelle could come looking for her anytime and then...She cursed Gabe Frost! He was a rake! Under all that gentlemanly allure, the man was a perv! He did not let her escape and then tired her out so much that she almost fell into a se* induced coma! And now she was stuck!

She could fool Arabella, maybe.. But what was she supposed to do about Seb? She would be too embarrassed to meet him ever again!

Desperately searching for something to cover herself, other than this bedsheet, her eyes landed on the recliner where her simple sundress and lingerie were neatly laid out. Relief washed over her. At least he had the decency to bring her clothes, considering he was the reason she was in this state.

Taking a deep breath, she slipped out of bed, keeping the sheet wrapped around her as she tiptoed to the recliner and blushed even more. He’d even kept underwear for her... Grabbing them all, she quickly raced to the bathroom...
