Aurora

Auroras POV:

As I sprinted down the hall back to my office Missy noticed and came to my office. What’s with the rush doll? Missy asked. Jumping up from my seat, I quickly went to the door, closed it and locked it. OMG Missy what the hell am I going to do? I mean like bam and now I’m mated. I never wanted to find my mate let alone just after landing my dream job. I started babbling like a recently released psych patient. Whoa, whoa, breath doll, Missy stated as she came over and started rubbing my back in an attempt to get me to breath, so I don’t hyperventilate. After I calmed down a bit I started over. So, as I was on the way to take Alexander the latest contract files for him to sign, I caught the most wonderful smell and it led to his office, and just as I was about to knock the door swung open and bam just like that my mate was on the other side. 

Missy jumped up with the biggest grin going from ear to ear doing a happy dance for me. Oh, you have got to give me all the details, what does he look like, who is he, did you even find out his name, Missy started rambling. Now it was me who was laughing and trying to keep her from hyperventilating. Yes, Missy, I know his name unfortunately its Maverick. WHAT?! Missy screams like the Alphas son Maverick! Yes, Missy that is exactly who it is, but he has a fiancée, so I am just waiting for him to come and reject me we all know he doesn’t want a mate. Hold the front door Missy exclaimed what do you mean he has a fiancée? Just like I said Missy he has a fiancée, so my best guess is he is trying to figure out a way to reject me so he can move on since I overheard their wedding is in just two months. Secretly I am devastated even though I never intended to look for my mate, but luck had it I ran into him anyway and never thought that I would ever be rejected. I mean I know I am good looking as I have had plenty of suitors, but never took any of them seriously. To be rejected I was now going to be known as the wolf who couldn’t even be afforded the luxury of at least getting to know her potential mate before it happened. 

Knock, Knock

Missy got up to answer the door and gasped as soon as she opened the door and bowed her head immediately as she opened it further. Maverick himself stood before my doorway. May I come in Maverick asked? Sure, I don’t’ see why not. What can I help you with Maverick? I asked, but Goddess knows I just want to run, kiss him, and rub every inch of his divine body. Missy slips out of my office that traitor to leave me alone with Maverick just as I told her I was going to be rejected. Maverick stood just inside the door and anyone that knew him could tell he was nervous. When he was about to shut the door, I stopped him and said, Maverick, I know you have a fiancée and if you’re going to reject me just do it already so we can be done with all this.

Mavericks POV:

As I knocked on her office door for some reason, I was nervous suddenly, I mean her running off is not a normal reaction to finding one’s mate, but at the same time I did just introduce my fiancée of all people. Missy opened the door, gasped and immediately bowed her head while opening the door further. May I come in I asked. Sure, I don’t’ see why not. What can I help you with Maverick? Aurora asked. Goddess knows her voice is like the sweet melody my ears have been craving all these years, and don’t get me started on her caramel apple scent. I could feel the bulge in my pants beginning to grow. So, what looked like nervousness was me really trying to get my dick under control. I was about to shut the door so I could adjust, when Aurora starts speaking again and states Maverick, I know you have a fiancée and if you’re going to reject me just do it already so we can be done with all this. What?! How could she even begin to think I would reject her? Of course, she knows of my past and what the tabloids like to put out there with all my random rendezvous over the last 5 years. 

Aurora, I am not here to reject you, I state as sternly as I could muster. Do you really think so little of me after all we did grow up together, I say? Well let’s see everyone has always heard you rant on and on about how you don’t want a mate but to find love the normal human way, plus not to mention don’t forget you have your playboy status to maintain. So, I figure you are sticking to your guns and since you have a fiancée you have found love the normal human way am I getting this right? Aurora asked with an eyebrow arched at the same time. I didn’t know what to say to her response, so I just stood there with a shocked expression on my face. 

After about 2 minutes of awkward silence, I say, “Aurora, you may think you know me from what you have read in the tabloids but trust and believe that you cannot believe everything you read or hear for that matter.” So let me be clear to you when I ask will you accompany me to dinner tonight so we can get to know one another again. She just sat there behind her desk shocked, but then she proceeds to lean and place both elbows on her desk and says, “Maverick, you have a fiancée to get back to, don’t you, so I think dinner is out of the question and I have work to catch up on before I can leave for the day so if you will excuse me and leave my office so I can get back to work.” Then she proceeded to turn her attention to the computer sitting to her right and didn’t glance back in my direction. After a few minutes of awkward silence, I left her office and went to the hotel that I had sent Scarlett to earlier today.
