Roman doesn’t speak of the new development,He’s out of his office when I get there. He picks up when I call him, but only to tell me he’s going to be fine and I shouldn't feel too worried. He’s an Alpha, he can take care of himself.I wanted to ask where he was, also if I could come there, not to disturb him but to simply hang around, maybe get us some ice cream and cook some food.Anything to see a smile on his face and see him happy. He asked me to check my desk for a surprise and I found another pencil sketch there.This time he drew it from his viewpoint, not the omniscient technique he used earlier.I see myself etched out in sharp lines, my ebony hair curling slightly at the tips, my glasses perched on my nose and he even captured the fine details of my dress.A smile tugs at my lips as I remember it now and the seriousness on the face of mini-me made me almost not recognize myself. Do I get into character when I'm pretending to be Vivienne? Or is that just how Roman sees me?I
I turn to the direction Danis’s fork is pointed in and find both Alpha and Beta walking towards us.Roman’s face is set in that hard line again and Fen… isn’t looking at me at all. Danis grumbles from where he’s seated but my eyes are on my mate. I watch him for signs of a bad mood.Apart from the fact that our mate bond has grown stronger, I can tell Roman’s mood from several other things.To begin with, clenched and unclenched fists, check. Super protruding jawline, check. That stance he takes where his body seems to get into this position of extra masculinity and super predatory, check.Desire is slowly stoking its flames in me and I find myself staring and swallowing, because who knew Roman could be sexy when he’s moody?“That turtleneck is a limited edition.”Fen sits beside Danis and shoots me a smug smile. This is a two-person bench. Three people aren’t meant to sit on this bench. I vacate immediately because I don't want to sit on it anyways.Roman takes the seat opposite the
Roman kisses the answer away from my lips and even when I opened my mouth to begin he shushes me.“Think about it for a while okay? Make a decision when you’re ready.” I’m ready now, but the look in his eyes tells me he won’t listen to me even if I am ready. At least not right now. He spoke of me wanting time to heal, and I may need that. I may need time to heal fully, but I'm sure I can do it here.The energy in his pack is conducive for healing. Though we’ve run into some trouble, we’ve pulled through together.My smile returned because of him. I can heal perfectly with him.“Why does Scarlett look like she took away some kid’s candy?”I reach to smack Danis’s arm but Fen pulls him away swiftly. “He apologizes.”“I do not.”“Apology accepted. Thanks for being the one with manners, Fen.”Danis rolls his eyes and Lunch passes in peaceful ambiguity. Danis and Fen operate….a friendship type of sunshine feeling.They look comfortable in each other’s company and I recall what Danis sai
Roman doesn’t ask me his question again when we meet the next morning but I don't want him to. I prefer he doesn’t.He’s always gone out of his way to show me how he feels. Maybe this time, I'll go out of my way to show him how I feel too.“You’re distracted.” His hot breath tickles the side of my ear and I giggle lightly before turning to look at him.He looks stunning, as always, and the sight of him makes me smile.“Maybe I'm just happy. I feel today will be a good day.” Roman smirks and leans in “Is this because of the news I broke yesterday, the one about the reaction of the elders in the Alpha council?”I nod and avert my eyes from his alluring blue ones. My reply to him should be a surprise. A very cool surprise that I will make happen.I can make him wait, I will make him wait.But for now “Do you think there’s anyone in that locker room?”Roman’s eyes dart forward to the door on the left and he focuses for a second before shaking his head “No one’s in there.”I smile “Good.”
I cum at the same time he does and Roman leans against me panting.I made the Alpha pant with the force of his ejaculation.“Want to go another round, Alpha Roman?”The title does the same thing his kitten does for me. That title from my lips, makes the skin of Roman’s skin gleam, and his eyes light up with stoking desire.Roman kisses half a chuckle away from my lips and I release the other half as he sucks on that patch of skin on my neck.He murmurs something against it.“Do you know this spot seems to make your pussy throb whenever I suck on it?”He sucks on it again and I feel my walls clenching, more than clench, they pulsate. I groan as I hear the belt of Roman’s pants drags against the fabric of his slacks. I moan even more when he pops the button of those pants and I hear the rumble of fabric as he pulls them down just a bit.My gown is half off me now. The zipper has been pulled and the top is down my body enough that my breasts are fully bared. My nipples are so hard I ache
“The janitor’s closet is off-limits for now. Vivienne sensed a gas leak and we had to close it down.”I read the message with a smile on my lips because, yeah, there was a gas leak.I chuckle so hard my ribs hurt and my jaw aches.My jaw aches! but it’s a pleasant ache. Roman didn’t make me feel like I did a bad job, and though the fear that I did do a bad job was there, I know the experience was enjoyable for him. He came half in my mouth and all over my face, and did he moan my name? Yes.He went “Fuck. Scarlett!” My body warms at the thought of it again and I turn around in my chair. It swivels easily and Roman’s scent surrounds me.His scent is so heavily steeped into my clothes, into my skin, that I do not know what to do with the reality of the fact that someone owns me so totally.He knows me so completely his scent now feels like it’s mine.I freeze as knocks come from the door and I swivel around so fast, I almost miss the curve.Roman chortles as he walks into the office an
Roman’s pov.Scarlett shows me the text message from Hunter and she explains why he might be doing this.It could be the effect of Hunter being injected with wolfsbane while inhaling her masked scent. Wolfsbane isn’t just any ordinary element, it can do a lot of damage in its raw form and it is very lethal to werewolves. It can also be used as medicine and in this case. Scarlett has infused her scent as part of the medicine. They went in at the same time, the wolfsbane, and her scent, so now, Hunter might just need her as much as he needs the wolfsbane.He will feel a natural compulsion to be near her, to be close to her, just so he can feel well and stop being feverish. He’ll crave her the way he craves the wolfsbane he’s using to stifle his mate bond.Or Hunter is being the person he’s always been because he can’t stand the fact that there might be a woman who does not want him. He’s going after her, fully aware that she is with me, and that means he isn’t sorry for what he did the
Hunter's povRoman steps out of his building with her. I feel something in me still at the fact that he’s down here. Here with his assistant, who has told me she is with him, but even his mate wanted me. His assistant will be no different.My breath catches when I see her because she’s stunning. The black dress drapes beautifully down her body and the thigh-high slit teases my vision. It’s a dress I'd like to see any woman in, and it fits her perfectly.The smile she gives me is cold when she stops in front of me.“Good afternoon Alpha Hunter, I got your text.” Roman stands a few paces away and doesn’t look at me. There’s no friendliness in his stance and no warmth in his posture. Something prickles the back of my mind, a faint possibility, but I discard it. Aria had to have done something to get him to give her the wolfsbane.The thought of him getting intimate with my sister has my blood curdling, but Roman would never do that. He’s too noble.He probably considered the years of f
