She stared back at Gabriel, eyes gone huge and round. “I th-thought you didn’t — I mean — um.” Summer cleared her throat. “Gabriel,” she started carefully, “if you don’t want me to ‘jump your bones’ that’s a funny way of going about it.”
Biting his lip nervously, the angel blushed a deep red. “I…um… sorry, you were being so cute that I couldn’t not…?” He swallowed hard. “I’m sorry if I offended you.”
“I’m not offended,” she said immediately. Gently, she put a hand on his arm. “I’m just confused, okay? I’m not at all offended or annoyed. Please don’t apologise.” Her gaze flicked away, then back, the mischievous twinkle in them again. “Or if you have to be sorry, be sorry with a proper kiss. I’m less than half your age, and I can do better than that!”
Smiling wickedly, he murmured, “As you wish.” Cupping the girl’s face with his hands, Gabriel kissed her full on the mouth, flicking his tongue teasingly over her lower lip. Gently, he nipped and sucked at her mouth, one hand moving to tangle in her hair.
Summer pushed up on her toes, hands sliding up Gabriel’s chest. “Hmmm,” she told him, incoherently, pressing her tongue to his. After a long moment, needing to breathe, she drew back. “Once again,” she murmured, smiling, “if you don’t want me to want you, that’s a funny way of going about it.”
