Chapter 16

Gabe clenched his teeth and fought through the pain as the powerful voltage coursed through his body. It wasn’t quite as bad as a taser, but it was pretty damned close. And that stupid bitch left it on that spot for what seemed like forever. He didn’t cry out, though. He wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of hearing him scream.

Naomi finally took the prod off him and smiled wickedly.

“Had enough yet, lover boy?” She asked.

“Not even close,” he said through gritted teeth.

“Hm,” she said and pressed the prod into a different spot on his abdomen.

Gabe lost his breath and couldn’t seem to catch it. All he could do was stare at Sophie, who was sitting on the floor with a look of horror on her face. He hadn’t meant it to go this way, but he had to protect his identity and the fact that he worked at Gray Tower at all costs.

When Naomi finally released the prod again, Gabe hung there, weakened and gasping for breath. He felt like complete shit, and he was losing strength quickly. He wondered how much more of this he could take before he passed out or ended up dead.

“Maybe it’s time for a different approach?” Naomi said with a glint in her eyes.

She sauntered over to Sophie and stood over her, tapping the wand of the cattle prod with her hand.

“Don’t you dare touch her,” Gabe growled, realizing what she intended.

Rage boiled up inside of him. He struggled against his bonds, but he was finding it harder and harder to breathe. The only thing he could do was slump and watch helplessly.

“Oh, settle down, Angel,” Naomi said. “I’m not going to hurt her. In fact, when I watched Sophie’s little interview and I found out about what my men had planned on doing to her, I was very unhappy. Those were not the orders they had received. For that, I am very sorry, Sophie.”

Naomi looked at Sophie and shrugged.

My men? Gabe questioned.

Apparently, Naomi had climbed the Black Mark ladder a lot further than Gabe had realized. It had only been about two months since he had last seen her. She must have been promoted to a top spot since then. Sure, Gabe had been overseeing those men as well, but he had no idea that Naomi had been pulling strings over him.

“So, tell me, Sophie,” Naomi continued. “Have you two slept together yet?”

Sophie’s expression turned to panic, and she looked to Gabe for help. Gabe groaned, knowing that Naomi was going to try and get into Sophie’s head to attempt to get some information out of her. He also figured Naomi was trying to gauge how much Gabe cared about Sophie so that she could use her as leverage.

“Wh…what?” Sophie said softly.

Naomi looked at her and then glanced at Gabe.

“Ah, I see that you two have,” Naomi said smugly. “Ah, isn’t that cute? He is very good in bed, isn’t he, Sophie?”

Gabe cringed. He had hoped this wouldn’t come up but leave it up to Naomi to trot this one out.
