Kayla walked into the building, heading towards the elevator with her heart pounding heavily. First off, while it was not her first time being in a company, it was her first time being in a company as huge as this. The Bernardi company building was a freaking empire, compared to anything she was ever used to. "Why are you so free in here?" Kayla murmured to Jasmine, who already looked like she was made to be in this building with her strut. "People are looking!" She hissed, frowning as a pair of employees walked past them, looking blatantly at her and Jasmine as they were led to the elevator by Damon, who had been on the phone ever since they left the pack house.Jasminr turned to look at her without breaking her stride. "Oh please, let them look. I'm sure they are in awe of the beauty they are being blessed with this morning." she said cheerily, wiggling her eyebrows at Kayla who scrunched her nose at her friend.Damon who had been on the phone, paused just in front of the elevator a
Kayla opened the door Damnon had shown her and opened her mouth in shock and surprise. For a personal assistant, the office was quite big. Bigger than her father's office back at his company. There was a huge desk and a chair behind it, while two chairs were positioned in front for visitors. In the corber just close to the door, there was a grey couch that looked long enough and comfortable enough to take a nap in. Wow.. Kayla thought, walking in and closing the door behind her. She could feel her wolf who always craved comfort, get excited at the prospect of goin to lay on the couch. "Not now, ma'am." Kayla said with a laugh, and placed her handbag on the cleared out table, then rounded it to pull out the chair so she could sit. But befire then, the floor to ceiling window behind, caught her attention, causing her to walk over to see what the view was like from where she stood.Wow.. Was all she could think of as she watched the busy streets below with a smile on her face. From ther
Kayla took a step back, panting a little as her senses were filled with Oliver's scent. "Uhmmm...Okay then." Kayla heard herself say, trying so hard to distract herself from the fact that Oliver was standing really close. Why was he standing close and looking at her that way?Her gaze dropped to his lips, and she felt the primal urge to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him into tomorrow. "Yes. Starting with the fact that you have to serve me everyday. My coffe should be on my desk every morning, Kayla." Oliver said, stepping even closer.Kayla swallowed, unable to move. "Yes." she said, eyes trsained on his lips. "I will bring your coffe every morning." she swayed a little on her feet, as she backed away. Her nipples grew tight, straining against the material of the shirt she was wearing. Even her legs trembled slightly.Oliver held her gaze with his, taking a step forward while she took another backward, until there was no room for her to move again, leaving her trapped betwee
Oliver breathed, scanning his environment as he leaped off the top of the tree, landing on the ground on all fours. It was quite a thrill to unwind after what he could definitely refer to as one hell of a day. Damon had run ahead of him, and was probably cooling off by the river bank.Shaking off the dust anad pieces of dry leaves from his fur, Oliver allowed his wolf to continue to the river bank where he jumped into the water, shifting back into human for, mid-way. "Hey! you don't have to show off you incredible fast-changing abilities." Damon huffed, wiping his chin where the water had splashed him and rolling his eyes at Oliver who just growled."Just say you are slow as fuck." Oliver laughed, advancing out of the water, naked as the day he was born.Something flew his way, and he was catching it before it fell into the river. "Get dressed. I have no business seeing that!" Damon mumbled, even if Oliver could hear the laughter in his voice.Oliver unwrapped the small bundle, smirki
Oliver coughed, rolling on the ground from how hard the grey wolf had knocked him. He had literally gotten the wind knocked out of him."Who the fuck are you?" He wheezed, getting on his fours as he watched the wolf take a stance a few feet away from where he was. Adrenalin rushed through him. And being a black wolf, he could feel the surge of energy as his wolf waited to pounce back. Not immediately though, as he stared into the golden eyes of the wolf.A mocking low growl followed as the wolf made his way towards him. "For an alpha, you sure are weak." The unmistakable voice of Dean, even if it was a bit shadowed since he was in wolf form, hit his ears, making his ears peak.Anger shot through Oliver, and while he would normally have waited a bit to analyze his next move, he leaped, landing both front legs smack on Dean's chest and head, and taking the opportunity to tear accross the side of his face. "How dare you come into my territory, and attack me!" Oliver belowed, scratching a
Kayla frowned, then turned away from the woman who was dressed in all white, and faced Jasmine instead. "What did you order for, Jas?" she asked, even if her mind was still a bit fixated on the woman who she could see slowly approach their direction, from the courner of her eyes.Jasmine smiled. "Oh, c'mon. I said you should leave it to me." she frowned then eyeing Kayla. "Her, what's wrong?" she asked.Kayla was about to shake her head when she felt a presence a few feet away from her, and turned in time to see the woman stop judt in front of their table. "Hi, Kayla." she chimed, smiling widely at a confused Kayla who just sat there with a frown on her face. Apart from the fact that a stranger she had never met in her entiree life had just walked up to her and alled her name like she knew her personally, Kayla couldn't help but be in awe of her beauty. "Sorry... But, do I know you from somewhere?" Kayla asked, finding her voice as her wolf was a bit intimidated by the woman whose a
Oliver stared at thegravestone in front of him with eyesthat burned lightly.It certainly felt like he had betrayed her trust by noy coming to see her all this while. From coming to her gravestone every morning, to twice in a week, to once. And now, he couldn't even remember when he had come last."I'm so sorry." He wanted to say her name. Even read it out in his mind, but couldn't say it.He could remember her last words, telling him to forget her and move on when sh died. And he had sworn not to, even if she had insisted. How could she have even asked that of him? How could she have asked that he move on from the one person that had been there for him all through ou the time he had known her?They hadn't even gotten the time to enjoy their marriage and union, when she had been killed. Snatched from him. "I'm so sorry." Oliver said again, kneeling on the marble, and squeezing his eyes for just a few seconds before opening them to see the little rose carved on the stone.Her wish had
Oliver waited for the door to shut and for Kayla to walk away, before slaming his fist int the wall next to him. What was Laura playing at, going to speak with Kayla? Hadn't she done enough damage in his life already? He could feel his wolf snarl within him, threatening to break free. 'I wish it were that easy.' Oliver murmured, going to pick up his phone tp call the number he had sworn never to call again. When Benedict had told him of the woman he had seen them talking to in the restaurant, the last person he would have expected it to be was Laura. What the hell did she want? And what was that about needing Laura for her apartment. Oh... she had to be bluffing, and not moving into an apartment nearby. Because if she was... She picked on the first ring. Some one was definitely eager. "I didn't think you would be this quck to call, Oliver." Laura said in what Oliver thought was the cringiest low voice he had ever head. She sounded like a dying cat. "What are you doing, Richardso
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
