Miracle on Hollow Peak

KIRA By the time we got home, it was already dark, and I could see the sky shimmering in the distance like jewels on black velvet. The house was stunning and looked like it belonged in a holiday romantic drama. Ideally, life would operate in that manner. The door flying open and the entire family squeezing me suddenly replaced the empty emotions, though. This time, my grandmother, grandfather, and a couple of my relatives continue their kind criticism. “Let Kira breathe for a change,” Finally, granny murmured. “Joe, lead your sister to her room.” Just like Granny asked, Joe took my bags. Right after us, little Bella came up. My cousin was only ten years old, and I missed her terribly. As soon as we reached the doorway, my eyes widened in wonder. “What happened to my room?” “Well, Mom decided that if you’re still not coming with Joe, we should give you a room with one bed. Your room, since you left, belongs to Mom and Dad, being bigger. I hope that’s okay.” My shoulders drop

GABRIEL“If that’s a threat, you know you didn’t do too well. Find another reason.” “Well, because I don’t feel like working for you and because you threatened to punish me.”I let out a childish laugh.“I threatened to punish you if you hit me again. So you’re in danger just in that case.”“I don’t need to be punished! What did you do with Gabriel Bates, and who are you?” As she tried to turn her head, I released her wrist, only to grab her face with my other hand. My thumb traced the line of her jaw as I clasped her cheeks. Damn it, I enjoyed making her shudder. I cursed myself, thinking, why didn’t I act sooner? About three years sooner...Because that was a misconduct at work. Because morally it wasn’t right. And the desperation not to lose her was very serious. “I’m the same person you’ve known your whole life. But I’m not your boss right now. You resign, as far as I remember. And your departure let loose a different aspect of myself. So, my dear, it’s not what I did with Gab

KIRA“What do you mean, who is this man? He is Brad… my fiance,” I said with an enormous lump in my throat. I was hoping Granny wouldn’t see. “You weren’t expecting him, were you?” She inquired.“We had a quarrel yesterday. No big deal…” I confessed, which wasn’t entirely a lie.“Oh, I see. Well, you will sort things out. Lovers often fight, right?”“Right…” I hated how I felt like an open book in front of her. Maybe Granny’s wisdom had something to say here, too. But Granny didn’t give up so quickly. She felt there was more to it.“There’s more to quitting your job story than you first told us, isn’t there?” she asked and I hated how closer to the truth she came. “Although he may seem a sweet man, he is not the ideal fit for me… Granny,” I confessed with almost teary eyes. Why was I about to cry? It wasn’t like he was really my fiance.Being all Gabriel needed was something I excelled at. However, because I wasn’t receiving what I needed in return and he couldn’t provide it for me

GABRIELI seized her mouth violently and desperately. I needed her, and she knew that. She could feel it because she responded to my kiss with the same frustration and it tasted both incredibly, deeply familiar and dazzlingly different. It was the perfect combination to make me insane. Was this possible every time we exchanged angry glances across my desk, her delicate glossy lips so very alluring but completely off-limits?I was holding her head steady with my hand knotted in her hair so I could kiss her more fiercely. She bit my bottom lip, and I growled at her to stop doing it as this type of behaviour would send me over the edge.We were in the middle of a passionate embrace when I felt the fire inside of me kindle even brighter. I could sense her desire and I knew I wanted more. I moved my hand down, caressing the perfect curve of her ass, and the atmosphere in the room changed.She tensed up, and I could tell that she was both scared and aroused. I did not hesitate, bracing mys

KIRAYesterday was much more than I had ever imagined it could be. Not only did I finally get to lay eyes on my beloved Gabriel, but I also got to witness a completely different side of him. He seemed so much more relaxed and was actually crackling with enthusiasm in every conversation. All throughout the day, I could feel something special radiating between us that no distance could ever break. His last statement really left a lasting impression on me. It gave me the understanding that we could all make mistakes, but no matter what, the effort needed to be put into making the relationship whole again. It brought the realization that love takes courage, dedication, and a genuine desire to make things right.Overall, yesterday was full of so many wonderful moments that I would cherish for a lifetime. Gabriel and I had come a long way since the beginning of our relationship and have both grown as individuals. We were now more capable of respectfully deciding based on open communicatio
