Mitch turned around. He didn't know what to expect, but she was so unlike the women Gabriel usually went for. She was young, slender, only a small baby bump was showing on her.
Her eyes so beautiful and when she smiled at him he smiled back. When she walked towards them and went into Gabriels's arms he couldn't help thinking how good they looked together. He with his dark complexion and dark hair, her with her skin pale and lighter than light blond hair.
To see the way he held her so lovingly warmed his heart, she had tamed the demon. He took her hand when she held it out to shake his, it was so tiny in his big meaty one.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Black," she said, smiling.
"Please, call me Mitch and the pleasure is all mine."
"Mitch will be your driver whenever I can not take you myself. He will be staying in the guest house."
"That's great. I'll go and check to make sure it's clean before you move in. Nice meeting you but I'll go now and let you men continue with your talk."
When she went to walk away Gabriel took hold of her arm.
"I hope you are not planning on cleaning it yourself, get one of the staff to take care of it."
She blushed, looking at Mitch.
"My husband worries about me too much." She looks back at Gabriel.
"I will just go see what needs to be done, that's all." She reached up to kiss him and walked out.
"She is lovely, boss and very sweet. You, sir, are a very lucky man." He saw the way the couple looked at one another with so much love in their eyes, it was very touching.
"I am indeed, that is why I'm counting on you to keep her safe by any means necessary."
Well, boss, I will go and pack my things and be back later tonight, unless you need me for anything right now."
"No, you can go," Gabriel said, shaking his hand.
After finishing some work and hiring a new tutor for Paige he went looking for her. One of the maids told him she had gone to her bedroom so he went to check on her. She was awake but laying down.
"You OK?" he asked her.
She let out a sigh.
"I was feeling a little tired, I might have overdone things a little today."
"Then you will stay in bed, I will have your supper sent up to you. I have hired a new tutor for you, but unfortunately, she can not come here so twice a week Mitch will drive you into the city for your lessons. It will begin next week."
Paige touched the side of his face, she loved the feel of the stubble. "A woman, not a man?"
"That's right angel, no more men to try and seduce you."
"You are so possessive of me Gabriel. But I must confess, I kind of like it. I just wish that you wouldn't overreact so much. You know by now that you can trust me, I only want you." Cupping the back of his head she kissed him.
He lowered her down, his mouth taking control over hers, letting her know he was the one in control. Dragging his mouth from hers he smiled. "Time for this later, now you rest."
Three days later he came from the shower and his phone was ringing.
Picking it up and answered the voice on the other end said in a hushed voice.
📞 Do you know where your wife is?
📞" Who is this?" he growled but the caller hung up.
A cold chill ran down his spine, he dialed her phone. His head turned sharply to the end table on her side of the bed when it rang. There sat her phone.
Dialling Mitch's number ordered him to search the grounds for her, he then dressed in jeans and a shirt. Fear and anger consumed him and cursed her for not taking her phone with her, and after she promised.
He took the steps two at a time down the stairs, his heart was in his throat. He searched every room, asked the help if they had seen her, no one had. He met with Mitch and was furious when they still didn't know where she was.
"She couldn't have left the premises boss, we'll find her. What has happened to get you so worked up?"
"I received a call asking if I knew where she was."
"It could have just been a prank call. Maybe, Sergio, had someone make that call just to mess with your head."
"Then where the hell is she?" he yelled at Mitch.
"What's all the yelling about?" Paige's voice rang out as she entered the room. Both men turned in her direction and she saw how angry Gabriel was.
"Where the hell have you been?" he snapped at her.
She felt her face getting warm knowing that Mitch was listening and she was embarrassed. She waited till Mitch excused himself and walked out.
"I'll leave you two alone," he said, leaving he felt sorry for her, knowing Gabriel's hot temper.
"How dare you embarrass me in front of Mitch," she said, feeling her own anger rising. It always surprised her how he could be so sweet one minute and then turn into a raging monster.
"I asked you a question now answer me."
"No, I'll not talk to you when you are in this mood," she said and turned to leave.
Before she could he shut the door, preventing her from leaving and locked the door.
"Let me out," she screamed at him, giving him a shove.
"Where were you and why didn't you take your damn phone with you?"
"I was outside, in the garden picking flowers to put in our room. You can't expect me to carry it with me everywhere when I'm home. What aren't you telling me?"
"Nothing," he barked.
"Liar," she said, giving him a shove.
"Stop pushing me, Paige." He felt his temper rising.
"Why, what are you going to do about it?" she says, giving him another shove.
"I'll show you what I'm going to do," he said, pushing her up against the wall, pinning her hands above her head.
"What am I to do with you?" he asked, looking at her lips as he lowered his mouth to hers.
His kiss was savage, tongue invading her mouth. He brushed his thigh against hers, pushing her legs apart with his, rubbing against her pussy.
She felt his dick swelling, she too was aroused.
"Take me, Gabriel, I want you," she moaned into his mouth, feeling her hands had been freed she ripped his shirt open, not caring that the buttons laid by their feet.
Her hands touched his muscular chest and moved down, removing his belt she undid his pants, pushing them down past his hips.
She had no idea how her panties got off, only that his fingers were stroking her into a climax, he muffled her screams with his mouth when he kissed her. Her dress was being pulled up over her hips and when he lifted her she wrapped her legs around his waist as he entered her and started pounding himself into her, her back hitting the wall.
He had no intentions of doing this to her. But she pushed his buttons, and she knew how he got when they fought and he suspected she liked it.
Seeing the way she looked at him licking her lips and the sultry way she said ( what are you going to do about it .) he could not control his desire. After taking her swiftly he carried her over to the sofa and laying her down took her again, this time slower, more tender.
"Gabriel," she said softly into his neck as she held him in her arms. "Tell me why you were so angry with me."
He lifted his body up so as not to harm her or the baby, looking down into her eyes he knew she would keep asking till he told her the whole truth. "I'm only afraid of your safety."
"Why?"
"The day my parent's were here and you heard Sergio and I fighting it was because he made a threat to you."
"What kind of threat?"
"He said it would be a shame if something were to happen to you."
"Why would he say that?"
He rolled over onto his side, his hand touching her stomach, feeling the bump.
"I made a mistake of confessing my love for you. I have told you what he did to the things I loved and he will want to teach me a lesson."
He stroked her cheek and his heart filled with love, he would do whatever necessary to protect her.
"There is only one way to be sure he'll never hurt you." Getting up he put on his pants and walked over to his desk and unlocked one of the drawers and took out his gun.
Her eyes widen when she saw the gun, fear raced through her and got up she went over to him.
"Why do you have a gun?" she asked, shocked.
"For protection," he answered as he checked to see if the bullets were in it.
"What are you going to do Gabriel?"
"I'm going to see my father and make sure he can't follow out on his threat." He took her chin in his hand. "That is after I get another shirt as you have ruined my other one."
"Are you planning on killing him?" she cried out.
"It is the only way to stop him."
"You can't kill him, he is your father."
"He's not a father, a father would not beat his child or kill his son's pets. Now he wishes to harm you and probably the baby as well. Do not interfere this time angel."
Tears streamed down her face and she put her arms around his neck and started begging.
"Gabriel, you can't do this, if you do you will go to prison. I can not lose you, think of us, your family," she said and grabbing his hand placed it on her belly.
"We need you, I need you." She takes his face in her hands, making him look at her. "For me, don't do this."
He shook his head, taking her hands from his face reached around her, putting the gun back in the drawer.
"My father was right about one thing. Love does make a man weak, otherwise, I would not let you talk me out of this."
"No Gabriel, love does not make a man weak, it makes him stronger."
Taking her into his arms he held her against his chest, his hand on her head as she rested it on his shoulder.
"You're too good to be real. So much love and goodness in your heart and you always forgive me for my roughness and my sometimes cruel words. You should hate me, you should be repulsed by my touch."
"You are a good man and I know it. I wish you would realize that and soften your ways a little towards the way you treat others."
"If I do that they will not respect me."
"They will respect you more," she answered.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you and in front of the help." He dragged himself from her embrace and sitting down pulled her onto his lap.
"Mitch is not just your driver, he is your bodyguard. I hired him to protect you. I do not want you going anywhere without him or me."
She had to smile, knowing he was not one to apologize to anyone.
"I will go nowhere without either one of you and I'll keep my phone with me at all times."
He ran his hand up her leg, loving the feel of her. "Thank you, angel. I need to call Mitch in here so why don't you rest before dinner?"
She gets off his lap and picks her panties off the floor. "Invite him to dinner."
"We don't dine with the help Paige."
"I think he'll be more to us than just the help, and being it's his first night living on the property it would be a nice gesture. Don't you agree?"
"OK, I will invite him. Now scoot before I throw you back down on the sofa and have another go at you."
Picking up a cushion laughed when she threw it at him before leaving.
