Three: Feelings
Mykayla
I made it through my first week of work. It did get better after the first day, but it was still hard to focus with Dustin so close. Sometimes I felt he was flirting with me, but I was determined to keep it as professional as possible. Besides, why would he flirt with me? I know I am too young for him. When he walked in as I organized some papers on his desk for tomorrow's video conference call with overseas investors. I hadn’t even realized he had come to stand behind me. I was so focused on my task.
“Hey it’s time for lunch,” Dustin says huskily in my ear.
I jump between the voice in my ear and his large hand on my right hip. I was not expecting either. I turn around, look at him over my left shoulder, and try to give him my best glare. He gives me one of his sexy smiles, and I have to turn away before I do something stupid like kissing him. The last thing I need is an HR issue or to get fired for making out with my boss.
“Sorry I didn’t hear you come back. I was just putting these in order for the call tomorrow.” I explain to him.
“Have lunch with me today.” He whispers in my ear.
Did I hear him right? He wants me to have lunch with him. I feel his hand move down my hip, and more electrical sparks shoot up my side. I feel his hot breath on where my neck and shoulder meet. I can’t explain it, but I tilt my head as he traces his nose below my ear to the base of my neck. I feel him kiss the base of my neck, causing me to shiver in pleasure.
“Ok,” I answer because that's all I think to say.
I feel his hand drop off my hip as he backs up. I instantly miss his hard chest at my back. We leave the office. I grab my purse and follow him to the elevator. I am so nervous on the ride down to his car. What just happened? I have no idea what made me react that way. All of a sudden, the sparks jolted me out of my thoughts. Dustin has moved closer, and his hand keeps touching mine. The elevator opens, and we continue to his car. The driver opens the door for us. I slip in and slide over. As much as I want to be as close as possible, I must keep a professional distance. HE’S MY FUCKING BOSS; my mind is screaming. I shouldn’t be going to lunch with him. This is a bad situation. I am completely attracted to my boss, and after that episode in the office, my core is throbbing, and I know my panties are wet. After a short drive, the car stops in front of a very expensive-looking restaurant. I follow him in, and we are taken straight to a rather private table in the back.
“The lobster alfredo is amazing,” Dustin tells me.
“It does sound good. We didn’t have to come to such an expensive place. I would be happy with McDonald's.” I tell him with a smile.
“So tell me about you. We have been working closely together for a week but we haven’t had a chance to get to know each other.” Dustin asks very intently.
“What do you want to know,” I asked, wondering why he was asking.
“Oh, you know where you are from. Why move here? You know, the normal conversation.” He says with a light laugh.
“I moved here with my younger sister Bree and my cousin Araya from Nevada. We just needed a change of scenery.” I explain without going into detail.
The conversation goes well after that. I leave out the part about my parents and Araya’s parents. I am not ready to talk about that with anyone at this point. The wounds are still fresh. Besides, I doubt he wants to hear my sob story. We eat, and the food is fantastic. I try to give him some money for my meal, but he looks at me like I am crazy. We walk back to the car, and I slide in and over again. So far, my keeping a professional distance has worked through lunch, but once back in the car, it goes south fast. I look out the window when I feel his hot breath on my neck. My body shudders, and I make a light gasping sound when I feel the sparks shoot up the side of my body.
“Mr. Trudeau.” This is all I can manage to say.
“I told you to call me Dustin.” He growls.
“Dustin, what…” I start to ask, but his nose is gliding up my neck.
More sparks travel down my neck, and I realize he is trailing soft kisses from the base of my neck up to the base of my jaw.
“Dustin,” I moan quietly and tilt my head to give him more access.
“Say my name again, beautiful.” He growls roughly into my ear.
I feel his hand slide down my thigh until it touches my bare skin. I let out another breathy moan, and I feel embarrassed, but at the same time, I don’t want it to stop. I hear him growl again, and I can feel my panties getting wetter by the second.
“Dustin, we need to stop. You’re my boss. We can’t,” I whisper.
Dustin
FUCK, hearing her whisper my name and moan like that was beyond turning me on. I am sure I have never been this hard, EVER! I had been good all week, but each day was getting progressively harder not to lay her on my desk and spread those long sexy legs of hers and claim her as my mate. When she walked into my office this morning in that royal blue dress with that dress sweater over her arms, I fucking lost my mind. The dress was entirely appropriate for work, but the way it fit her body and those dress sandals she had on had me wanting to bend her over my desk. It took everything I had to reign in my wolf and keep him from marking her. Somehow I made it through the morning. When I walked back into my office and saw her partially bent over my desk organizing those papers, I couldn’t help myself. I walked up behind her and said:
“Hey, it’s time for lunch,” I said, touching her hip.
I didn’t mean to scare her. I thought she heard me come back. I got closer and could smell her arousal which caused my wolf to lunge forward. I have no idea how I kept control of his since even mine was wavering.
“Have lunch with me today,” I whisper in her ear.
I glided my hand slowly down her hip and heard her breath catch. I didn’t move. I wanted to see what her response would be. When she tilted her head, I couldn’t help but trace my nose from her ear to the base of her neck. Her scent was driving me mad. When she agreed to go to lunch with me, my wolf started running around excitedly in my head. The ride in the elevator was just as torturous. Every time I barely touch her, I feel the sparks travel all over my body, and I can tell by her body’s reaction that so does she. The car ride was better because she tried staying on the backseat's other side. Lunch went well. We had a good conversation, and I learned a few things about her. I could tell she was still holding something back, though. The car ride back to the office was a different story. She was over on the opposite side of the back seat. I slowly slid over so as not to scare or make her uncomfortable. She’s looking out the window when I make my presence known. I feel her body shudder and hear a light gasp come from her.
“Mr Trudeau.” I heard her gasp.
“I told you to call me Dustin,” I growl in her ear.
“Dustin, what…” She asks as I inhale her scent and glide my nose up her neck.
“Dustin,” She lets out a quiet, throaty moan.
I start trailing feather-light kisses up her neck.
“Say my name again, beautiful,” I growl roughly into her ear.
My hand slides down her thigh until it touches her bare skin. Her skin is soft, and I realize she is not wearing nylons. I hear her let out another breathy moan, and I am so hard by now that it is painful. I can smell her arousal, driving me insane with want and lust.
“Dustin, we need to stop. You’re my boss; we can’t,” I hear her whisper.
I will strip her down right there when the car stops in front of the office. FOR FUCK SAKE, now work is cock blocking me, is all I can think. I slide back away from her but not far. The driver opens the door, and she gets out slowly, and I follow shortly after. We walk back into the building to the elevator. As soon as the door shuts, I walk up behind her.
“What if I want to be more than just your boss, beautiful?” I ask as I place one hand on her hip and the other I let glide down her thigh.
I hear her suck in a breath, and her body shivers as I place more feather-light kisses on her neck. She doesn’t get a chance to answer me as the elevator stops and the door opens. She quickly exits, and I smirk as I stroll behind her. I cannot help but watch her ass as she walks before me. She stops at her desk, and I gently pat her fantastic ass as I walk by. Her body gives another shiver, and I continue to my office.
After lunch, I get back to work. I got a call from my father about an hour later asking me to stop by tonight as he had discovered some details about Mykayla. I feel terrible like I am spying, but I need to know what has happened to keep her safe. I still haven’t told her she is my mate, and I have been having Kaleb or Nate watch her when she isn’t here at the office. She lives in a small two-bedroom apartment with her sister and cousin. I am not happy about the location since the part of the town it is in is not ideal. I’d feel much better if I could get her to move into one of the houses within the pack borders. Baby steps, I remind myself. I can’t force too much on her all at once. I don’t want to scare her. We finish our work and leave the office for the weekend. I notice she doesn’t head for the parking lot but heads for the front door. I give her a questioning look.
“I walked today since it was so nice outside. I only live 15 minutes from here.” She explains, shrugging her shoulders.
“Come, I’ll give you a ride home,” I say, waving my hand at her to follow.
I can see she is debating, but then she follows, knowing I will not take no for an answer. There is no way I am letting her walk home. We get in the car, and I grab her hand before she can slide over. She just looks at me and gasps. I pull her back towards me until she has to put her hands on my chest. I run one of my hands up her thigh, barely under the edge of her dress.
Four: Feeling Part 2 Mykayla I can feel his hand slide up my bare thigh and under the hem of my dress. I can’t believe this is happening to him. HE’S MY FUCKING BOSS. I feel his other hand come up behind my neck and stop when it is on the back of my head. I feel his lips on my neck again, and I can’t stop a moan from escaping. OH GOD, THAT WAS LOUD, is all I can think. I know I must stop this, but his touch drives me insane. I am sure that when I leave this car, I will leave a puddle in the seat from all my wetness. “Dustin please….” I moan. I am not sure what I am asking of him. All I hear is a deep husky growl when I say his name. The next thing I became aware of was his lips on mine; I couldn’t help but slide my hands up his chest and wrap them around his neck. He kisses me fiercely and is in total control. I feel him pick me up, and then he has me straddling his lap. His hand moves steadily up my thigh, and I moan into the kiss. He takes this as a chance, slips
Five: Fire Mykayla After I got out of the car, I walked around the corner and leaned against the wall. I stay there for a few minutes before walking to the apartment. I needed to control myself before facing my sister and Araya. Bree is very observant, and she would know something is wrong. I am not explaining how I made out with my boss in his car to my eight-year-old sister. I hear yelling as I walk up to the door of our apartment. The yelling increases as I unlock the door to find all three sitting on the floor, deep into playing Monopoly. I wonder how they talked Shelly into that. I refuse to play that game. It always causes a fight among families. “Who’s winning?” I ask as all three of them jump. “Oh hey Mykayla, honestly I am not sure,” Shelly admits. I laugh and walk into my room to change. I pull on a pair of pajama pants and a tank top. I look at myself in the mirror. I have thankfully been able to cover my tattoos. I have my belly button pierced. Thank god
Six: Aftermath Mykayla I slowly wake up and turn over in bed. All I can think is that the bed smells like Dustin. I start to drift back to sleep, but the bolt is awake. I realize I am not in my room, and this is not my bed. I am still determining where I am. Then it all comes back: THE FIRE! All the visions from the night before flooded back. I pull my knees to my chest, and I can feel the fear and anxiety returning. A small sob escapes, and that’s when I hear a voice. Suddenly, I feel the sparks shooting up my arm, and I turn to see Dustin standing in just a pair of pajama pants. His fingers are laced through mine. I am perplexed and can’t decide whether to cry or laugh. That’s when I remember. “Oh my god, Bree and Araya, where are they? I have to find them now.” I say as the panic starts to rise. I jump from the office bed to find them, but Dustin grabs me and wraps me in his arms. I instantly start to calm down and realize that I feel comfortable and safe with hi
Seven: Mate Mykayla I kept my distance from Dustin all day. I was telling the truth when I told his mom I was already looking for a new place for the three of us. I didn’t expect his cousin to tell us we could stay within the pack’s borders. I knew it would be the best place for the girls, but I couldn’t control my feelings. I have to keep this professional between us and push my feelings aside. The girls are my main focus. My happiness and personal life are not important now. I already knew where I stood with him after this morning when he left the room without saying anything. Lani and Natalya took the girls and me shopping for clothes and necessities. Thank god for my inheritance, or we would be so screwed right now. I also went and got a new phone. I had left my computer at work, so that was not lost in the fire. I was sitting on a lounge chair on the balcony outside Dustin’s room when a glass of water was in front of me. It made me jump. I didn’t even hear him come i
Eight: Morning Mykayla As I wake up, I realize I am very comfortable and feel safe for the first time in years. I try to stretch but realize I have a heavy arm draped over my waist and a hand resting under my breast. I freeze, and then the memories start flooding in from last night. I HAVE FUCKED UP BADLY! I SLEPT WITH MY BOSS AND TOLD HIM I WAS IN LOVE WITH HIM! My brain was screaming. Now not only was I going to have to look for a new place to live but also a new job. It’s my fault. I feel a hard wall of muscle move behind me, and the hand moves up, encasing my breast in his large hand. My breast is gently squeezed while I feel him kissing my neck. I involuntarily let out a soft moan. I can’t help it; his touch feels so good. “Good morning, beautiful.” He tells me his voice is still raw from sleeping. “Good morning,” I said shakily. He rolls me onto my back and leans upon his shoulder to look at me. I can’t look at him. I feel very embarrassed that I let this happ
Nine: Spy Unknown I have been watching the Pack now for two years. I thought about taking back what should be mine earlier, but I also know the Silver Moon Pack is the largest and strongest pack in the pacific northwest. I know they have absorbed two more miniature packs into them over the last five years since Alpha Dustin took over. They do not know I have been watching them and planning to reclaim what the pack stole all those years ago. It was stolen from my family when it was still under Alpha Dustin’s father’s leadership. I have slowly built up my followers to help me and have established a small loyal, pack-like following. I have my beta and gamma. None of us have found our mates yet. I am still trying to locate previous members of my pack, but most of them have stayed loyal to their new alphas which happens to be Alpha Dustin. I was sitting outside a restaurant when I saw Alpha Dustin, Beta Kaleb, and his Gamma Nate. I was surprised to see all three of them. All
Ten: Settled In Dustin It has been two months since the three of them moved here, and things have been great. Bree and Araya are starting school tomorrow. I know Mykayla was worried at first since the school is technically on the pack’s land. She worried because they might be the only humans there, but I assured her that was not the case. While on the pack’s land, the school is a mix of humans and werewolves. The faculty is both humans that know about werewolves and are werewolves. I know it puts her mind at ease to know this. She was sitting at her computer when I snuck my hand up under her shirt and started massaging her soft breasts. She tried to squirm out of my hold, but all I could do was laugh. “This is a first; usually, you push them into my hands more,” I say, laughing. “I am trying to finish some work, mister grabby hands.” She retorts irritatedly. I continue laughing and retract my hands from under her shirt. She finished what she was typing and stood up to fa
Eleven: School and Threats Part 1 Dustin This last week has been a huge learning curve. This was the week that Bree and Araya started school. When my alarm went off at six in the morning on Monday, I thought it was broken. I had reached for her to pull her back into bed, but I wasn’t quick enough as I felt Mykayla get out of bed and heard the door shut. I groaned and turned back over to go back to sleep, which I was almost back to sleep when I heard a scream that made me sit straight up. I quickly climbed out of bed and grabbed a pair of sweats as I ran out of the room. I swung the door to Bree’s room open to protect her from what or whoever was in there, only to find both girls standing in front of the full-length mirror squealing in excitement at their school uniforms. Mykayla just looks at me and raises one of her eyebrows. I scrubbed my hands over my face and walked out of the room. I walked into our walk-in closet picking out a suit to wear that day at work. I head t
Dominick I am exhausted. I have never been this tired before. Dimitri and I got a vast majority of the leaders of the supernatural beings together and explained what was going on. So far, we had obtained the DNA and blood from all of the known animals in existence, DNA and blood from all of the original vampires, the Fae king himself had given us his DNA and blood, the mermaids had contributed as well, and of course, Dimitri and I had added our DNA and blood into the mix. I sat back and looked at all the other DNA and blood I had gotten over the last week I travelled. This made me realize how many supernatural beings we actually knew. “Are things going well?” Zeus asks. “Dimitri is out traveling to the beings he knows. We know so many and some only know him or me. I just got back last night and he left this morning.” I explain. “I am impressed with everything you two are doing.” He admits. I know when Aphrodite first granted the two of us our wolves, and we vowed always t
Chapter 2 Dominick I knew when I saw Vepar slinking around town that something was up. Dimitri and I had known that she and Asmoday were mates for years now. We honestly didn’t care so we kept our mouths shut. Mates are important to our kind so we weren’t going to ruin their happiness. We often saw the two of them sneaking around to be together. However, the way she was slinking around tonight raised our hackles. We kept in the shadows and watched the shack she went into. It was not long after that we saw Penthesilea, Phlegyas, and some witch at the door. We never did see Asmoday enter, but when we got closer we could hear his voice. We also heard another male voice but we could only see Vepar, Asmoday, Penthesilea, and Phlegyas. We listened as Vepar explained her plan. I looked at Dimitri. We stayed there through their entire meeting and left before they started leaving the shack. “They have got to be out of their minds,” Dimitri says. “I can’t believe that Shade was a
Ok everyone here is the first two chapters of book number #2. The title is: Hidden by the Gods. I might post a couple more chapters for everyone. I am hoping to have the majority of the book out by the beginning of April. I want to make sure it is as well-received as the last book. Hope everyone likes it. Chapter 1 Vepar “Just look at them sitting there all high and mighty,” I say. “I know. They think they are so special and so important.” My friend says. The two of us were sitting there watching the gods. They were all there drinking, eating, and relaxing as if nothing could touch them. They are so fucking self-absorbed and consider themselves above everyone else. It’s time that someone brought them down a few notches. Now to figure out how to bring them down. I looked at my friend and I knew I couldn’t trust her with the idea brewing in my head. I needed people that thought like me. The twelve main gods had been in power now for 2000 years and in that time they ha
Epilogue Aphrodite Persephone, Athena, Hera, Imyra, and I are sitting here watching everything that is going on in the backyard. Everyone is here, well, except Kaleb and Kylani. They are supposed to get back from their honeymoon tomorrow. It has been six months since everything happened. It took a good two weeks for Mykenzie, Kylani, and Mykayla to fully recover. Poor Mykenzie has been so lost without her sister. Kylani has been gone for two weeks. The last time the two of them were separated this long was when Reecie and Mykenzie were on their honeymoon. Chris has been with Mykenzie since Kylani left, trying to keep her from being so depressed. As much as my three kids fight, they are so close it is scary. They can feel each other’s emotions. They know when each other is sad, happy, angry, and so on. I thought Nymyra might get jealous of how much time Chris and Mykenzie are spending together, but she wasn’t. I think she understands. I have no doubt that Kylani misses M
One-Hundred Seventy-Five: Aftermath Part 2 Mykayla It has been a week since the incident on the island. I am finally starting to feel like myself again. I knew I was powerful but I had no idea I was that powerful. I had absolutely no idea that I was the rarest type of phoenix. I was both surprised and in awe at that fact. I have to admit that it is pretty amazing that I am a supernatural creature that was supposed to be a pure myth. All of us are out back by the pool. Mykenzie, Kylani, and I have been spending a lot of time out here in the sun. It seemed to help us recover faster. Everything seemed to be back to normal. Although I can sense a difference in Seth. He has kinda avoided the three of us. He is sitting there watching Mariah, Aiden, Kaycen, Dimitrus, Tiayna, and Mateo. Tiayna and Mateo have gotten so big. Tiayna is the perfect mix of Bryn and Donte. Mateo is a mini Donte all the way. The only difference is that Mateo’s skin tone is a few shades lighter than D
One-Hundred Seventy-Four: Aftermath Kaleb I felt bad keeping the kids away from their mothers. Jordyn really wanted to be with her mother after everything that had happened. The last 24 hours have been rough. When we got back to the packhouse after the bullshit rogue attack, I was pissed. When we realized who had been kidnapped, I became even angrier. They took my daughter, those fucking bastards. When Chris suddenly appeared after the deafening clap of thunder and roar, I knew my goddess knew her child had been taken. I no longer cared if she lost her shit. What transpired over the next few hours will stay with me forever. Chris transported us to that island, and we watched as Mykayla changed in front of our faces. Then my goddess and her sister became one, and the amount of power that was wafting through the air on that island was indescribable. __FLASHBACK__ The wall of water and fire vanished, and the sky was clear. It was like nothing had ever happened. I looked ar
One-Hundred Seventy-Three: The Storm Part 2 Dustin I couldn’t believe that we fell for that stupid rogue attack. I knew something was off when we got to the area where the attack was happening. I kept going after the rogues, but they kept just dodging out of the way. Like the others, when I woke up that morning, I noticed that Mykayla was not there. I found the note she had left letting me know that there had been an emergency family meeting called. I thought that was weird. I know Mykenzie and Kylani would not call a meeting; if I remember right, they were the only two who could call one on such short notice. I got up and dressed all three kids for the day. I talked to Mykayla a few days ago about finding another nanny. Satyira moved to the new packhouse with Draydon. I was walking out of the nursery with my two youngest when Dominick and his partner in crime ran by. “You two get back here.” I heard Reecie yell. I saw them stop and turn around. I don’t think either of
One-Hundred Seventy-Two: The Storm Part 1 Chris I knew something was wrong as soon as we arrived in the meeting room. No one else was there. I looked around and then at my sisters, Mykayla, Alexis, Bryn, and Jailynn. I could see the irritation on my sister’s face. The seven of us walked out of the room and down the hall. We ran into Dionysus. He looks surprised to see us here. “Not that I am not happy to see all my nieces and my nephew, but what are you doing here?” Dionysus asked us. “We were sent a message this morning that there was an emergency family meeting called. So here we are.” Bryn states. “No one called an emergency meeting as far as I know.” He replies. I hear an irritated growl, and I know it is from one of my sisters. I can tell Uncle Dionysus here’s it also, and he starts walking faster. It is no secret that for the last few weeks that my sisters have been irritated for some reason. They have been in a mood, and no one has messed with them. Even A
One-Hundred Seventy-One: Dark Skies Part 2 Asmoday I have been away from my main island now for about a week. I needed to check on my other islands and see what was going on. After the loss of the one island that I had been holding Haze in, I decided that I needed to keep a better eye on the others. I am still pissed that little twat I kept in charge let Haze slip through my fingers. As it turns out, he was killed when the building collapsed. Since then, I re-evaluated everyone I had working for me. I have made several changes and gotten rid of a few that I knew were going to cause me problems. Darrius and Thomas have joined me on this island. The three of us are due to return to the main island tomorrow. “Did your guy give you a time when he might show up?” I ask Darrius. “Not an exact time, but late morning or early afternoon,” Darrius replies. “Has he given any kind of hint about his plan?” I ask. “No, but he did say that we would be very excited with the five to s
