Chapter 463

Chapter 0463 “I heard you got married, but I didn’t know your wife was a beauty.” One of the partners says after the meeting, while we were gathering our things. “I wish I had spotted her first.” He didn’t look that much older than Gabriel. Maybe in his mid or late thirties. I couldn’t be sure.

His eyes raked down my body, making me feel exposed and uncomfortable. I shift to get closer to Gabriel, hating his eyes aN i I was married for goodness’s sake and my husband was sitting ri ght next toy me. How could he be so bold ? It was i disgusting. i i i ou i “If you don’t stop undressing my wife, i Yishiro, I’m going to pluck your eyes out with a fucking teaspoon, blend them into slush and force them down your fucking throat,” Gabriel warns in a threatening tone that sends shivers down my back.

Yishiro swallows, his face a mask of fear at Gabriel’s threat.

I know it shouldn’t be a turn on, but re .

the fact that Gabriel is being possessive of me, is huge fucking turn on. Iloveit.

I “My apologies” Yishiro whisper, his eyes not meeting mine or Gabriel's.

Gabriel scoffs, but doesn’t accept the apology, and neither do 1. / “Let’s begin,” a man, I’m assuming is 1h ned 1 the CEO, given he is sitting in the head chair, says, clearing the awkward atmosphere. Hi i The meeting starts and even though they talk so much about numbers that they begin swimming in my head like weed on water, I have to admit that it’s still interesting.

Seeing all these men, each one powerful in their own right, discuss and negotiate is something awe- inducing,

iid I Among all seven of them, Gabriel is my favorite one. Not because he’s my husband, but because he is an alpha through and through. The way he commanded the room, the way he took charge, the way he controlled the room.

Everything about him just screamed dominance. He didn’t flatter in his wants. He didn’t negotiate. He didn’t try to accommodate like the rest. He knew what he wanted and that was what he was going to get. He wasn’t afraid of walking away from this I opportunity if the deal didn’t meet his It was amazing seeing him in action, fi and the whole thing ju st increased my attraction towards him. aii i i By the end of the meeting, they hadn’t reached an agreement, since Gabriel refused to compromise (Like I said, he knew what he wanted, and he wasn’t going to downgrade), but they did agree to have another discussion.

“I’m sorry about Yishiro’s behavior or

earlier,” Gabriel tells me when we are left in the boardroom alone.

“It’s okay.” “No, it’s not, it was disrespectful,” he ground out, still clearly pissed.

Before I can move, his hand encircles me. I feel every hard ridge of his body as he brings me flush against his body.

“I've already forgotten about him. You put him in his place,” I whisper, but it’s like he can no longer hear me.

His other hand skims along my lips, ) making it hard for me to focus even as his eyes become firmly fixed on my mouth, I ER a) Of I) “Gabriel...” T didn’t even know what I wanted to stay Ll f II I His head descends, and I know what he’s about to do. As much as I want him to, I couldn’t let it happen.

With all the strength I could master, I push him, before stepping out of his

arms. He seems disappointed, but quickly recovers. Pushing that look away and replacing it with a small smile.

“You're fighting what you feel for me, Harper. Whatever it is you're feeling, you are fighting it and I understand why, but I'll tell you this, I’ m not giving up anytime soon. I'll wear down your walls and make you fall for me once again, just like I'm clearly falling for you.”
