Chapter 32 Awake

• GABRIELLA'S POV
• A warmth spread through my heart, filling me with a profound sense of gratitude. I reached up to caress his cheek, my touch filled with affection and devotion. "And I, Nicklaus, am blessed to have you as my partner, my lover, and my child's father. Our connection is a gift beyond measure."
• As we lay there, basking in the afterglow of our passion, we exchanged soft words of love and affection, reveling in the depth of our emotional bond. Our bodies may have found release in the physical act of lovemaking, but it was the connection of our souls that truly ignited the flames of desire within us.
