Oliver hadn’t expected to be cornered by Alpha Dawson the moment he stepped his feet into the hall that was filled with people. It always irked him that these people, who most of the time, didn’t like themselves, gathered three times a year, for galas such as these.It was for charity.But to Oliver, it was just an excuse to mingle and make all sorts of alliances, whether good or bad. And in most cases, it was bad.“Alpha Dawson.” Oliver said, nodding his head as he acknowledged the older man who walked up to him like he had been waiting for his arrival.“Alpha Bernardi.” Dawson said, smiling up at him. The smile was completely fake. Oliver could see that, but he gave him a smile of his own.“How is the family? And the business?” Dawson asked, when Oliver said nothing else and instead began to observe the crowd around him. No one was saying anything out of the ordinary, which was funny because their faces said otherwise.In gatherings like these, it wasn’t what was said from the mouth
“You want to tell me what happened?” Oliver asked, staring at kayla who looked a little bit pale. He had heard their conversation, and heard her mother say all sorts of things to her.He had to give it to Kayla. She was a strong woman. And she had stood her ground. Oliver wouldn’t have been able to keep a conversation like that without punching the person in his face. Whoever it may be.“It’s nothing you don’t already know.” Kayla answered and turned away from him. Her answer made Oliver raise his brows in surprise. “Me? How?” He asked, wondering what she meant.Kayla laughed nervously. “Oh c’mon. We are neighbors back at the pack. And you know what happened that day you met me. You don’t need to pretend about that.” Kayla retorted.Oliver paused, taking his time to answer, so as not to unintentionally upset her. “If your are talking about your wedding, and the scandal around it, then yes. I do know. But I do not know the conversation you were just having with your mother. And that’s
“You…you!” Came Jasmine’s voice from behind her, causing Kayla to jump in surprise and turn around. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”Kayla sighed and brought her hand which had been paused in the air down, as she shook her head. “As you can see, in the bathroom.” She said, going back to fixing her makeup. After they had left the garden, Oliver had told her to go freshen up, while he attended to some business matters with someone before he left. He had even walked her down to the bathroom.“You are the one who ditched me with your boyfriend. Yet, here you are yelling at me.” Kayla said, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She certainly looked different. Flushed. Lightly though, as she was slowly regaining back her color. She didn’t want to think about the scene in the garden to avoid blushing seriously.“I didn’t, I swear. Damon just asked me to dance, and I went with him. I promised him only two dances. And then I will come and stay with you.” Kayla laughed at the apolog
Kayla was nervous.No matter what her past was, this was the first time she was willing to be with a man, and so it was her first time in her eyes.One look at the man on the steering wheel next to her, and she was biting her lips as the car suddenly got hit. She turned her gaze away from him and out the window.If she were being honest with herself, the encounter with her mother had reminded her that Oliver knew so much about her, and yet she knew so less, about him.Apart from the fact that he was popular for his ruthless way of doing business, and that her father had wanted an alliance with him back then, she knew nothing. Nothing. “Hey, just out of curiosity. I remember that some years ago, my father asked for an alliance with your pack. Did you accept?” Kayla asked, wanting to know how it had ended up.Oliver glanced away from the road for just one second and stared at her. Then smiled and turns back, shaking his head. “Why do you want to know?” He threw back at her.Kayla rolle
This was by far better than anything kayla could ever imagine sex to be like. It was better than the last time they had been so close to doing anything back at her apartment.Kayla dug her fingers into Oliver’s hair, pulling him into her, while she arched her back to him.She wanted more. “Please..” she gasped as Oliver’s hand slid down her front, and into her panties, going straight for the wetness that was down there. He didn’t slip his fingers in, but took his time caressing her clit, and had her trembling in no time as she had a mini orgasm.Kayla clung to Oliver, wrapping her arms around his shoulders as she gasped uncontrollably. Oliver lifted his head from her swollen nipple and smiled at her, licking gazes with hers. “I’ve never sees a woman cum so beautifully.” He said, leaning down to kiss her.Kayla felt her heart swell at the tenderness of the kiss.“I don’t know what to say..” she said softly, pulling away from the kiss.Oliver let out a soft chuckle. “You don’t have to
When Kayla awoke the next morning, it was to the aroma of bacon, fresh bread, and a whole lot, wafting through the air. She opened her eyes slowly, then blinked repeatedly as she tried to rid herself of her sleep clouded vision. She stretched twisting in the bed Thaa was way to comfy than normal and tried to sit up. Only then did she realize she was in fact, not in her room back in her apartment. What th_The memories that came rising back from last night, had her blushing, and completely flushed in only a matter of minutes.Oliver.She had made love with Oliver, right on this bed! She brought a pillow to her face, burying her lips in it and screaming a little as more of her memories from the previous night came. She whipped her head to the side, where Oliver was supposed to be sleeping and saw it was empty. And had been, for a while.Jumping out of the bed, she licked her lips as she noticed the delicious soreness from between her legs and almost moaned when she walked. Oh dear. It
Oliver tensed up at the question she had thrown his way. Although the pang of jealousy he felt at the reference to her ex-mate was still there, he couldn’t help the discomfort he felt at her question.If he said just ‘no’, she was going to ask why he hadn’t formed the alliance. What was he to say then?He couldn’t just tell her that he had backed away because of how they had treated her, and what he had found out. Could he.“I guess things just didn’t work out the way I expected. You know, business is business.” He said, settling for that answer, and hoping she didn’t go further with her questions. “Why? Why do you want to know?” Oliver asked, taking the reigns of the conversation into his hands.Kayla bit her lips and shrugged. It took all of his strength not to lean over and kiss her right then. “I guess I was just curious. I haven’t been there all these years, and I wanted to know if the deal still went on.” He could see how she struggled at the part about not being with her pack f
Kayla could already feel the heat start to grow between her thighs, as she walked towards Oliver, who wasted no time pulling her closer to him by the waist. “What are you doing?” Kayla asked quietly, smiling at him, even if she felt so nervous all at the same time. Oliver winked. “What does it look like I’m doing?” He asked, squeezing the area where his hand was, and causing more what to form between her thighs.Kayla forced herself to hold back her moan, a bit worried that someone was going to hear. “What about your siblings?” She asked quietly, as her wolf drove her even closer to Oliver.It was quiet weird that her wolf was this excited about a man who wasn’t her mate, but Kayla liked it. Oliver was a welcome distraction from the pain of Dean.“What about them?” He threw back at her as he reached for the belt that held the robe together and pulled. The robe loosened, but didn’t open as Oliver’s gaze left her face, and slid over her body.Kayla felt her nipple tighten, and on her o
Two days later….Oliver groaned as he made his way down the stairs making sure to avoid any kind of confrontation with either his siblings, or anyone at all.He past couple of days had been hell for all of them. After the whole saga with Laura, Damon had called her father, and a new agreement had been signed, just to keep her away. Turns out she didn’t want him. Apparently, Frank Richardson was deep in debt, and Laura as usual, had come to stir trouble.“Oliver.” A soft voice called from behind. Making him turn around to see who it was. Hell, he didn’t even need to turn to know who it was.“Don’t tell me not to go, Jas. I simply can’t stay away anymore.” He said, swallowing hard as he placed his shaking hand into his pocket and tries not to look at the friend of the woman he loved.Jasmine laughed lightly. “Actually, I was coming to tell you to go to her. My friend can be quite stubborn at times, but I think she has gotten enough space to last her a lifetime.” Jasmine said, then whist
It took Kayla being dragged to the back of an alleyway to come to a screeching halt, pulling her hand away from Dean. “What the fuck do you think you are doing, Dean?” Kayla gasped, hair flying as she rubbed her sore arm. “Where did you even come from?” She already had a bigger problem to deal with, and he thought he could just materialize from nowhere? “I just wanted to talk to you.” Dean said softly, stepping back and running his fingers through his hair why Kayla watched. And for the first time since he had pulled her away from the front of that office building, she allowed herself look at him.Really look at him.And what she saw was far from the Dean she had known and grown up with. He loooked a mess. A hot mess. “And what do you want to talk to me about? I thought I made things clear to you on the phone?” Kayla not out, looking around discreetly to see if there was an exit from the alleyway apart from the one which he had put himself in front of.There was.Thank goodness.Dea
Kayla followed Jasmine outside and into the elevator as they continued to chatter about what Jasmine envisioned her dream wedding to be like. “You know I like my things sparkly and girly. I’m not gonna miss any of that on my wedding day!” Jasmine proclaimed, raising her voice a little in the empty elevator as it closed.Oliver had texted her that he was about thirty minutes away, and had asked her to come down to meet him in the parking lot, since there was no time to meet each other in the office because heading to their destination.So Jasmine had asked her to accompany her to her office where Kayla was to help her organize while she waited for Oliver. “Well, you know what suits you, ma’am.” Kayla laughed, waiting as the elevator started it’s journey down to Jasmines floor.The doors opened with Jasmine mocking Kayla. “As my chief bridesmaid, you would wear a silver sparkiling dress with orange shoes. My wedding needs to he aesthetically pleasing. And you won’t be left out!” She was
Kayla was smiling when she roused from the satisfying sleep she had had the previous night. She blinked as she stared at the ceiling which faced her directly, trying hard to quench the inflow of memories that came at her the moment she opened her eyes. She had been so close to confessing her love for Oliver the previous night. So close!With a sigh, she pushed the blanket off of her, and got off the bed, stopping briefly when her sore muscles hummed deliciously from how much she had used them the previous night. But admist everything, she couldn't help but remember something that had plagued her mind at different moments of the night.They hadn't used protection. And they hadn't made love only one. Or even just on the rooftop.Oliver had taken her back to the bedroom, and proceeded to show her what she had been missing in the bedroom all this time she had tried to put didtance between the both of them. As she got into the bathroom, Kayla couldn't help but rub at her belly, while she s
Kayla pulled herself up on the slab, feeing nicely sated, but not to the extent she wanted, as there was still a throbbing inside of her that she had not yet satisfied.She said nothing as she reached out for Oliver’s neck, wrapping her fingers around it and pulling him down for a kiss. It was short, but lasted long enough to give her the energy and tingling she craved. And the taste of herself on his lips, drove her crazy.Never in her life would she have thought that she would taste her own juices. Well, until Oliver.Once she let go, pulling away, and pushed him slightly away from her, seeing him frown in confusion as she got down from the slab and was on her knees before he could even do anything to stop her. That is , if he would.“What are you_” Oliver asked, when his brows rose in realization as to what she was doing.With her abilities, she had him turned, so he was now leaning on the slab, while she was fumbling with the zipper of his trousers.It was fairly easy to pop open
When Kayla kissed him, Oliver had been a bit taken aback, but quickly recovered by pulling her closer to him, and inclining his head to the side so he could deepen the kiss. 'Please lock te doors that lead to the rooftop, and make sure nobody interrupts, Benedict.' Oliver said to his sentinel, who happened to be Kayla's driver and bodyguard some days, using the packlink. He could hear the exact time the doors locked, and heard Benedict take a stance just inside the door. 'You don't need to stay that close! And dim the lights.' 'Yes, Alpha.' there was amusement in his tone when he replied, before walking away from his position, to somewhere a bit farther down. Good. Oliver thought. H e didn't want the pack hearing of his shinanigans on the roof. Kayla moaned against his mouth, just as the partially bright lights, deemed. "Oh.." She aid, pulling away from the kiss, just to look around for a few seconds. "Did you do that?" Kayla asked, running her hands up and down his chest. Even thro
Kayla tensed at not just what he had said, but how serious im he sounded. From the distance, she could hear how quiet everywhere had gone. It was like it was just them around, with no one to interrupt. And somehow, she liked it.She and her Alpha, in their own world. Her alpha…What was she thinking calling him hers?“Kayla… about the deal I made with your father..” the way he trailed off, had her tensing up the more.What happened to the deal? Was he going to tell her he wasn’t interested in helping again, and wanted to withdraw his funding? Was that it?“Yes? I’m listening..” Kayla prompted shakily, but managed to hold her voice.Oliver leaned forward. “I’m tired of pretending Kayla. That contract….it’s void. Never existed in the first place. It was just a farce made up by me to keep you here_” his words were cut off, by Kayla lifting herself off her seat and into the air with such speed that she felt a bit dazed.If not for her wolf, she was sure she would have face planted on the
Kayla wasn’t sure why, but she felt like something was off with Oliver, the moment he came up and joined her on the rooftop.She had been standing there for a while, and staring in awe at the sight before her, unable to believe that he had in fact, prepared this for their dinner. It looked like something out of the movies.“You look beautiful.” Oliver said, walking over to where she stood, and extending a hand to her.Kayla blushed. “And you look good too.” Compared to her, Oliver straight up looked like he had walked out of the men’s runway in Paris or something. With the dark wool shirt on top, and the jeans, he looked so good. And those boots too…dang..She on the other hand, and argued with Oliver’s stylist who had just happened to be waiting g for her once she had come back from work, and had won. She had almost made him cry, but hell…And now she regretted it, because her low heel shoe, and flared midnight blue dress, was nothing compared to him. And her hair too that had been p
Flashback... Oliver made his way down the stairs for the fourth time that evening, smirking to himself as he anticipated what was to come tonight. It was his twentieth birthday, and his family had pretty much outdone themselves in preparation of what was being described as the coming of age of the century. At first, it was meant tobe a surprise. But how do you surprise an alpha's son? He had pretty much heard the very first conversation they had had about the party, and had made himself visible, unable to hold his excitement. "Oliver! Can you please get me a scissors on your way back? This one is broken!" Darcy called from somewhere outside. Oliver groaned. He should have stayed out of it when he had first heard about their plans.Oliver picked up the scissors and was making his way downstairs when Laura suddenly blocked his path, grinning from ear to ear.“I got you a birthday present.” Laura said almost immediately, pushing a box to his chest.The force of the shove almost had him
