Chapter 4: Sweet Kisses

*Mia*

When I was called to Krell's office, I was filled with confusion and doubt. This was my first time on the top floor, my first time being called to the office, and my first time being called by Krell.

"Come in." Krell's deep voice sounded. I slowly pushed open the office door and tried my best to look down at the document in my hand that I couldn't put back in time. I felt uneasy. Why did Krell call me here?

I looked around the office. There was only Krell and Locas. They were both looking at me now with some strange desires in their eyes. They were both expecting me to go to them.

"Hey, beauty, we meet again."

It was Locas's voice. He deliberately used a familiar tone. It was the tone of a man whispering sweet nothings.

I could tell that he was teasing me.

"Come here." Krell's tone suddenly became extremely gentle, as if I was his most precious treasure.

I walked over to Krell. He used his arm to hook my waist. His arms were long and thick, which made my waist look really thin. He rubbed against my waist with one of his big hands affectionately. I could feel the warmth through my clothes.

Krell suddenly tightened his grip. I hardly noticed it as I suddenly fell into Krell's arms. I sat on Krell's lap and instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck.

Although there were two layers of clothes, I could clearly feel the muscles in Krell's thigh. His thigh was very muscular, which gave me a sense of security. He lifted a strand of my hair from my temple and tucked it behind my ear. He was moving closer to me.

Krell's breath kept approaching. His mouth touched my ear and then he sucked my earlobe, which made me kind of limp and numb. I couldn't help but tremble.

"You have to cooperate with me. Don't resist, or you will lose your job." Krell whispered beside my ear in a breathy voice. Only the two of us could hear his words. I was certain that to Locas we looked like a couple at that moment.

Krell looked up at Locas, with sharp eyes.

Krell raised his eyebrows at Locas and then said, "I thought you didn't believe that Mia is my mate? I'll prove it to you now."

Mate? When did I become Krell's mate? Why didn't I know?

Before I could think about it, Krell turned his head and kissed me. I closed my eyes, kissing him back. This time, Krell wasn't as restrained as before. Instead, he was extremely aggressive. I couldn't help but moan.

Krell's tongue rampaged in my mouth, filling every area. As if he felt that he had explored my mouth enough, his tongue pressed against mine. Then he tried to turn me on with his tongue touching mine.

I was intoxicated by his kiss and had no resistance to his teasing. I stretched my tongue forward to respond to him.

Encouraged by my response, he deepened the kiss. Near the end, he sucked and licked my lips, as if he was tasting a tantalizing candy bar.

"What a loving couple."

Locas's voice sounded again, pulling me back to reality. I quickly moved away from Krell's lips. When I thought about how Locas had witnessed the entire process of our kiss, I could not help but blush.

Krell used his strong arm to bury my face in his chest. I just let him because I really didn't want to face such an awkward scene.

"Do you believe me? You can go back now." Krell's voice was a little hoarse.

Locas wasn't angry. However, he reached out his hand to me.

Locas said, "It's getting late. I wonder if I can take this lady home."

He clearly did not take Krell's words seriously.

Krell waved his hand and said, "Sorry, this is what her mate should do."

*Krell*

What a troublesome woman. Was such a stray dog worth using her body to block a car?

Mia was bathing the toy poodle at this moment. She was smiling very happily, as if she did not remember the danger at all. However, I remembered it clearly.

Earlier that evening, on the way to take her home, Mia suddenly forced me to stop my car halfway and rushed madly toward the stray dog in the road. She transformed into a snow-white wolf with shiny fur and protected the poodle underneath her fur.

Then, she tried to use her body to block a car that was out of control. But she seemed so thin and weak, how could she? This was an extremely stupid move!

But my heart suddenly beat really fast. I was scared for her safety. I immediately rushed to Mia. In the process, I turned into a wolf.

I had always been confident in my strength, but at that moment, I was suddenly worried that I might not be able to stop the car. I was really worried that Mia would be injured. Keeping her under me, I could feel that she was trembling. She must be very scared.

Since she was so scared, why did she rush to protect this dog? The dog was not hers. I did not think I would be sad about the death of this stray dog.

I was puzzled by Mia's behavior, but I had to admit that I was fascinated by her kindness and bravery.

Then I accompanied her to this place. The shelter for stray animals.

"Thank you for what you did."

Mia was thanking me, but I was inexplicably angry.

I did not say anything, therefore, she continued as she rinsed and dried the fur ball, "Do you want to pet it? It's more obedient than any stray dog I've saved."

Mia smiled brightly and carried the stray dog to me.

The stray dog's brownish-yellow fur had been dried, and it fluffed up around its head. Its ears drooped on both sides, like large tear drops.

I compromised and reached my hand to the toy poodle's head. Then Mia put her hand on mine.

"You should pet it like this. Along its fur." Mia pressed her little hand on mine. She was teaching me how to pet a dog, but I wasn't in the mood to learn that. All my attention was focused on Mia's face.

She looked extremely charming now. The way she looked at the small animals in the shelter was so loving. She was like a gentle goddess.

I recalled her anxious expression when she saw the stray dog in danger. I suddenly got some strange feelings. I admit that I was not only interested in Mia's look. I wanted to know everything about her.

I asked, "You used to come here often?"

Mia replied, "Yes, I like rescuing stray cats and dogs." She tried to take her hand off mine, but I held her hand fast.

"Why?" I was curious. Why would she waste her time and energy, and even risk herself for such a useless creature?

"Because I used to be like them." Mia was still smiling, but her smile was no longer bright. There were tears in her eyes, and under the dense light, she looked adorable. "My parents passed away when I was born. I used to be a stray like them, a rogue. I had no home, no place to shelter from the wind and rain."

Mia's tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks.

Actually, I had already investigated Mia's background. I didn't mean to make her recall such sad memories.

At that moment, I felt Mia trembling like a small injured animal. The warm light was not bright enough for me to clearly see Mia's face. I leaned closer to Mia and looked at her moist eyes. I suddenly had an idea and pressed my lips to her eye and licked the tears off her face.

They were salty and didn't taste very good, but I was obsessed with it.

Suddenly, Mia raised her head and pressed her lips against mine. I felt her tongue licking my lips. Her breath was sweet, and I couldn't resist it. My heart started beating fast, my breath caught in my throat and I was turned on.
