#Chapter 61 ：You fascinate me

Olivia’s POV
I would be lying if I said that the tension between Gabriel and I demised. If anything, we were slowly heating up with every touch and kiss. After my confirmation with Herold, I sort comfort in Gabriel’s arms.
When I told him what happened, I was happy to see that Gabriel did not express any forms of anger or jealousy. As we made it back to the bed after another dinner, Gabriel helped me out of my dress.
He began to kiss my shoulders and back as he undid the zipper on the back of my dress. His heat left shivers down my spine in the wake of his touch. I moan as he reached inside the front of my dress and grazed my panties with his knuckles.
I was a little worried. I felt my past was too unbearable. But Gabriel said that he felt it was these experiences that had made me so strong and beautiful. This time, I took the initiative and kissed Gabriel.
Gabriel let go of my dress, letting it fall to my feet. He picked me up and dropped me on the bed. As he slid my wet panties from my body, I hissed as his breath his my body.
I could feel his fingers coax and tempt my body, preparing me for what was to come next. I moaned as I leaned my head back and arched my back to meet Gabriel’s mouth against my bra. I saw Gabriel hover over me and it surprised me; Gabriel was already undressed stroking his member in front of me.
Just as Gabriel was about to push into my entrance, my phone started to ring. I groaned at the interruption between my mate and his touch. I looked at Gabriel with an apologetic look on my face.
“I am sorry,” I muttered. Gabriel kissed my forehead as he got out of bed and pulled his boxers back on.
“Hello?”
I recognized the voice of the person on the other end of the phone. “Herold, why are you contacting me so late?”
“I promise I will leave you be,” Herold whispered quickly before quickly hanging up the phone.
I let out a disgruntle sigh. Even though Harold hung up, Gabriel was already dressed for his next meeting. The atmosphere had been ruined, and we did not have sex.
I opened the nightstand, remembering that I had hair ties when I wanted hair out of my face. I quickly tied up my hair and grabbed the robe that was hanging on the wall. I went into my walk-in closet and got dressed.
I exhaled as I got dressed in a short-sleeved dress with flats.
“Going somewhere, my love.” Gabriel said as he buttoned his cuff links.
“I had a meeting to attend in half an hour, so I want to prep before I go in.” I said.
Gabriel laughed at my statement.
“Now that my queen is rich, you are constantly chasing the next benefactor.”
I shrugged as I grabbed my newest laptop that I replaced for the device that threw in the garden.
“There are days, my king, that making money is more enjoyable than sex.” I said this and walked over to my mate. I put my hand on his cheek and quickly kissed Gabriel before leaving.
I could hear Gabriel laughing as I departed. “I cannot deny that you fascinate me at every turn, my queen.”
Days after Gabriel and I were interrupted I watched over Reese’s care. Eugene had gone back to aiding in my brother’s recovery.
‘I saw the dinner with President Fernadez and his speech,” Eugene mentioned as he administered a dosage of the antibodies in Reese’s IV. At the time, Reese was taking a nap. He had been chatting with Olivia since she arrived, but he still had not recovered a lot of his strength.
“Why couldn’t love me, Olivia?” Eugene begged.
I could tell that it depressed Eugene, since I was showing favor towards Gabriel more than ever.
“You are still my friend, Eugene. I relied on you for the longest when I had no one to lean on.” I said, putting my hand on his shoulder.
In a flash, Eugene grabbed my wrist and slammed me against the wall. He brought his lips to mine nad forcefully kissed me.
I gathered my strength and shoved Eugene off of me. I reeled back and slapped him in the face.
“Have you lost your mind?” I shouted at the man.
Eugene stayed silent. He did not even reach to touch the slap mark that was starting to whelp.
“Eugene, thank you for all of your help. I appreciated all that you have done for me. But as I said we should be just friends.”
“I left Herold’s pack for you.” Eugene whispered. “I thought that if I showed you that I was stronger than he was. If I showed you that I was a stronger man for you than Gabriel or my brother, then maybe you would come to me instead.”
“Eugene, you are my friend and Gabriel is my mate. Nothing with ever changed that.” I said, looking at the doctor.
I doubt my words got through to him as he quickly left the room. As I sat in the room, I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket.
I opened to see that my notifications displayed I had a new message:
“I know everything has been tense between us, but I would like to make it up to you.”
I shook my head and deleted the message. I knew it was not from Gabriel and I was not going to take any chances by answering it. I left the hospital after the nurses assured me they were making rounds to look in on both Reese and Mara.
As I looked and exited the hospital, I noticed that everything outside was pitch black. I knew that I had been in the hospital for some time, but I did not realize how long it had been. I glanced at my watch to see that it was half-past seven. Gabriel would probably still be in meetings.
As I reached for my keys, I sensed someone coming from behind me. I quickly turned around to see a hooded Herold staring at me. I glared at him and began to walk away.
When he grabbed my wrist, he yanked me forward into his chest.
“Herold what are you—”
“Go to dinner with me, Olivia.” He muttered. I tried to wretch my arm out of his grasp, but it was no use.
“Herold no, let go of me.” I shouted. I looked around to see that the parking lot was empty except for a few cars, but no people.
“Please let me make it right, Olivia.”
“You can do so by letting me the fuck go, Herold.”
I tried to pull away from him and when he let go of me; I felt my body give way and fall against my car. My head slammed first and my body slumped, following suit afterwards. I felt myself being carried and situated into a seat.
Before I blacked out, I saw Herold grabbing my keys and turning the car over. Herold was kidnapping me.
