Chapter-3-"Undeniable Attraction."

Bella Devina's POV

I throw the clothes in my suitcase urgently while Julia does the same. We are running around the room grabbing our things.

"What the fuck do you mean he has your mobile?!" She asks.

"I left it in the bathroom while running out, Jules! One of his men grabbed it and gave it to him." I am throwing my make up bags and hair straightner in. My heart is still beating fast. I told her what happened at the club in the cab. Our hotel is very near to the club. As soon as we came we start packing. Why? Because there is whole chat of Jules and me talking about the travel plans and the hotel booked.

"Do you think he will come here?" She asks.

"I was the only one who knew that he killed him. So, I think YEAH!!!" I nearly can't breathe. What if they actually show up here? "They did mention they don't hurt innocents."

"But you are a witness, Bells!" Jules yells zipping her suitcase.

"I am so scared, Jules. He called me Little Dove. He said something like-like." I fumble around closing my suitcase. "Here you are, Little Dove." I try to repeat it to her the same way he did.

"What the fuck does that mean? Do you know him?"

"NO!!" I would recognize such handsome man. What is WRONG WITH ME?!!! HANDSOME?!!!

""Do you remember ever seeing him before?" She asks pulling her suitcase down from the bed and getting it ready to roll. I zip mine up and pull it down. All our luggage is packed. We just need to get out of here.

"I never saw him till tonight!!!" I yell. She puts her hands up and comes near me.

"Okay. Okay." She places her hands on my shoulders. "Breathe, Bells. Breeeaaatthhee!!" She tells me calmly. "We are getting out of here. See we are almost packed. Tomorrow it's just going to be a day we will never forget. We didn't do anything wrong. You were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. That's all this is." She tells me.

Yes! YES!!! That's all it tis! We will get away from this!

"Calm down." She says calmly hugging me. I hug her back. A tear falls down my cheek. "It's ok. I am here." She assures me. Once I tryto breath and calm down... Just a little bit. She pulls away looking at me. "I am going to go book a cab." She pulls out her mobile.

"Jules, we can never tell my father about this! The first time I do something rebellious and something like this happens? I will never be allowed out of those walls again. Even after marriage!!!"

She is about to nod, but the door bell rings. We both freeze.

"It's them." I whisper-yell. "I am telling you it's them!" I saw the look on his face when we left there. He found me!!!

"Shh!" Jules puts a finger to her mouth signaling me to stop talking and slowly walks to the door. She pulls out a gun from her bag on the table. WHAT?!!!! WHAT?!!! She has a gun? A. FUCKING. GUN?!!! Why is everyone pulling out their guns today?!!! I can't ask that question now though. She peeps through the peephole.

"It's the hotel service." She tells me still looking through the hole. A breath of relief leaves me.

"Why do you have a gun?" I ask pulling our luggage closer.

"We need to be safe, Bells! It's the first time we came out together." She says, but something about this is so fishy. I know when she is lying and this is one of those times.

"Open the door. They can help us carry this downstairs." I point to the luggage. She contemplates looking at the door as the bell rings again. I give her a look. What is she waiting for? We need to get out of here as soon as possible! The more we delay the quicker he might find us! A sick part of me wants him to find me! I want to see him again! I push that thought away.

"Ah! Fuck! Let's get out of here!" She says opening the door.

"Remember, Jules. Not a word of this to my father." I say grabbing my handbag.

The Bellboy that comes in was suddenly pushed aside as a group of men wearing black come in.

Oh! FUCK NO!!! THEY FOUND US!!!

My breath is caught in my throat again. Jules is cursing.

"I fucking knew it!" She says under her breath and points her gun at one of the men. But they are quick. So quick to grab her gun. I run to her.

"Let her go!" They just stand aside. Two of the men I saw standing behind Gabriel earlier come too. I am holding Jules's hand. They are all standing in a line. Before I know it, the man himself comes through the entry. My heart starts beating so fast again. Jules tries to pull me behind her, but I stay put, like somebody locked me in place. His eyes are solely focused on me as he comes and stand in front of me.

"Gabriel?" Jules whispers in shock. I look at her in shock. She knows him?

"You know him?"

"Yes." She responds. What?!!! Let's play a game! How much shock can Bella take in one hour?!!! WELL, FUCKING GUESS WHAT?!!! It's more than you can IMAGINE!!! "I-I mean..." She looks at me. "Everyone knows him, Bells." I ignore the way his eyes are burning a hole in my head as I look around the room stupidly for escape. Surely there must be some way! "You can't." Jules answers my turmoil.

NOOO!!!

"Trying to run away, Little Dove?" He asks glancing briefly at our luggage.

"Stop calling me that!" I want to scream, but I settle for sounding annoyed. That nickname makes my heart flip. I hate that!! "I am not going to tell anyone you killed him! I didn't even see you shoot him! So, I am not an eye witness." He tilts his head to the side in that alluring way of his.

"You think an eye witness stands a chance against my word?" He asks amused. The men behind him look like they are controlling their smiles too. I look at Jules and she shakes her head at me. WHAT DID I SAY WRONG?!!

"Look!" I say determined and he is already staring at me. "Stop staring!" I command. It's getting on my nerves. I am not some painting! He takes a step forward. My body strangely wants him closer. I breathe in his scent.

"Pick one, Little Dove." He teases. His hand raises as the back of his knuckles trace my cheek gently. He is so tall up close I have to crane my neck to up. "What's your name?" He asks. I turn my head to look at Jules, but he holds my chin sharply and makes me look at him. His proximity, his presence and-and him... Urgh! He is dangerous Bella! Get it together!

"Bella." I am not giving him my last name. It's good thing we didn't put our real names on our fake instagram handles. He has my phone and I am sure he must have gone through our messages by now.

"Full name." He commands.

"Fuck you." Our lips are so close. I am not going to let his man scare me. I have lived in fear enough. He chuckles.

"If you want to." He smirks. That conceited bastard! "Who needs the last name anyway when you have me." Excuse me, Sir? Julia gasps beside me. He nods at one of his men and they come grab her. She trashes around and I try to reach for her. Gabriel holds me back to his chest. "Shh! We won't hurt your friend." He speaks. I notice one of his men come grab our luggage.

"Let her go!" I turn around in his arms. I didn't realize his arms slid down my waist and rested there happily. Like they belong there. "What do you want, Gabriel?" I ask. Fire spitting in my eyes. You don't touch my best friend! The corner of his lips perk up.

"Say it again." He commands darkly.

"What do you-"

"My name." He demands. I can't believe this!

"I am not playing your games, Gabriel! Let us go!" As much as I enjoy this guy holding me like he owns me, like we didn't just meet less than an hour ago, I have to get out of here. This is dangerous. He stares at me again. Like he is analyzing me.

"Where would you go?" He asks.

"Far away from you!" I spit and something dark crosses his eyes. He gives that cruel smile of his as pinches my butt causing me to squeal.

"You cannot escape me, Little Dove. Ask your friend." He turns my face to her. Jules shakes her head. "Leave us. Take her phone and have her brought to the mansion." He commands his men talking about Julia. Panic fills me. Mansion? What mansion? Which mansion? Another cage?

"No!! Stop!!!" I try to go to her. He puts his arm around my waist and clutches me to him so tight.

"Relax!! We won't hurt her." He assures. "Make sure she is safe." He tells a guy who nods and walks out with the others carrying my luggage he placed beside him for his Boss's orders. They close the door from the outside. Once all of them are gone I stop struggling. Tears start forming in my eyes and I try to control them. I put on a brave face ad turn to him. Pushing away from him, I turn to him.

"What do you want?!" I yell. He sees the frustration in me. Like always he just stares. He is always gauging my reaction. Studying me. Slow and steady like a Cheetah. His hand suddenly clutches my throat. Not tight. Just gentle. But it still shocks me. His face gets so close to mine. I see the teeth marks on his hand where I bit him earlier.

"I want you to stop being a scared little cat." His deep gray eyes stare right into mine. "You aren't even really scared of me." I look at him in confusion. "You just think you should." He points out and suddenly something clicks in place.

He is right?! I know he won't hurt innocents! I know he won't rape! No Law and Order is against him as per what he spoke! Why am I scared of him though? Is it just the event that happened?

"I am going to hurt you." His grip tightens lightly on my neck. Not in a scary way. But in a way that arouses me. "But in a good way only, my Little Dove." He leans down and kisses my neck. His lips linger there. "You know there is something here." He feels it too?! I am not the only stupidly attracted to him then?! "The things I would do to you." He sucks on my neck. "You would want to run for the hills."

"What do you want, you Brute? Tell me! Why did you take my friend?" I can't stay put until Jules is safe. He pulls his head out of my neck. Suddenly he starts walking me back. His hold is still on me. I hit the bed and fall down on it sitting with his hand around my neck. I stare up at his captivating face. How can evil be so handsome?!

"I promise your friend will be safe! We do not hurt woman." He assures. I look at his hand on my neck and then point at it.

"Kind of goes against what you are saying." He smiles at it. Damn! Fuck me!! Who is this sexy man that got my butterflies flying high?!

"That sassy mouth is going to look so good on my cock." He speaks it's normal and my eyes widen. He enjoys the shock in them.

"I will bite your cock off." I warn and he throws his head back and laughs. Oh, that's so sexy!

"Oh, I know how well you bite, Little Dove." My eyes fall on the teeth marks again and meet his. Oh, the need in them! HE WANTS ME! But I am not getting my heart broken for a one night stand!

He is all things my father told me to say away from!

He is the kind of man my father is hiding me from!

He is all things dark and I craze it!

But, I can't give in!

No matter how brute he is, how hot he is or how sexy his voice sounds!

"You want to know what I want?" He asks. His eyes right on my lips where this thumb is caressing my lower lip. Would he kiss me? Please! His eyes comes back and find mine. A naughty, primal glint takes over them. I gulp.

What did I get myself into?!
