Her Dominant Dragon

Chapter TwoI moved quickly behind my desk, trying not to think about the way Mr. Blackwell had looked at me and the way his touch had made my heart beat faster. I grabbed my name badge off of my black leather bag, the one I had spent far too much money on. I quickly rushed towards the elevator and pushed the button to take me to the basement. As I waited I nervously tapped my foot and pushed my glasses up my nose, I glanced back towards his office.My thoughts were racing as I waited, I needed to just let it go. Maybe I was reading too much into the situation? The short time I had been working here I had heard rumors in the breakroom, about Mr. Blackwell and the women he liked and the things he liked to do behind closed doors.Biting my lip I looked back at the smooth metal elevator doors in front of me, I hadn’t seen him bring anyone to his office and we’ve worked plenty of late nights with no one bothering to check in on him. Maybe he was having a dry spell as well? The ele

Chapter Four“There’s my love.” Louis said as I walked out of the elevator, I made my way to his counter. “Really?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I handed him the black thick paper cup.“I was talking to my coffee,” he smirked, sipping the caramel macchiato, his eyes closed in pleasure as he let out a throaty groan that made my eyes widen. I’d never heard him make a sound like that, but I wanted to hear it again only in a different setting. I shook my head, I needed to get these thoughts out of my head. I leaned against the counter, and took a sip of my warm mocha. The ratio of chocolate to coffee was perfect and I closed my eyes, savoring the drink. “I like it when you make that face,” Louis said and my eyes snapped open, he stood in front of me, I hadn’t heard him move. Alarm bells were going off as I looked up at him, he stepped closer to me and for a moment I thought he might kiss me. Which was completely irrational, sure we flirted. It was done playfully, not serie

Chapter SixOn the walk back to the office Mr. Blackwell, no I needed to start thinking of him as Marcus, grabbed my hand and placed it in the crook of his elbow. The gesture was so old fashioned and gentlemanly that it took me to a time I was unfamiliar with, aside from the exception of books and movies. I had seen plenty of episodes of Downton Abbey, but it was still an unusual gesture for me.I smiled to myself as I looked down, we had a date tonight and here we were walking back to the office. I could sneak another glance over at Marcus and bit my lower lip trying to hide my grin as I looked away again.It made me feel like we were a courting couple. I couldn’t help but feel like I would wake up at any moment and this would all have been an elaborate dream.We walked into the lobby and I could feel eyes on me, I nervously glanced around the brightly lit room, the white and chrome interior catching the sunlight through the big windows making it look airy. My eyes finally met

Chapter EightI pushed open his door and stepped inside the cool dark room, Marcus stood from the leather seat across from the table. He was coming closer to me and I looked at the three people sitting on the couch. Feeling a cold sweat start to over take me.Inhuman eyes, the same as before, tracked my every move. I blinked hard before regaining my composure and walking closer to Marcus. I handed him the box, his fingertips grazing mine.“I’m sorry Sir, I forgot this on my desk.” I said, knowing that I must have looked like a deer in headlights, eyes wide and a clammy sweat covering my forehead making my hair stick to the back of my neck.“Don’t worry about it, Amelia. I'd like to introduce you to the elders council.” He said placing his hand at the small of my back and taking me closer to them. I wanted to turn and run away as fear gripped my body, making my muscles tense in anticipation of fleeing these, these creatures.“This is Nash,” Marcus said and I studied the man in f

Chapter Ten“That’s a complicated question.” Marcus said as he moved closer to me, I backed up bumping into Louis. His arms snaking around me again, looser than before.“Not really,” I said pushing Louis’ arms away, “This morning I thought that was an easy answer. At lunch I would have said the same thing, now I need to know. What are you?”“The CEO of Tarak Blackwell, I’m also your boss.” Marcus said as he stepped closer, his dark eyes searching mine. “I like you Amelia.”Louis cleared his throat from behind me and I jumped looking back at him, his eyebrow was raised at Marcus, a frown on his lips.“We, we like you.” He corrected, locking eyes with Marcus.“We do.” Marcus repeated and I turned back to look at him.“That doesn’t answer my question.” I said stepping out from between the two of them.“I’m a dragon and Louis is part of my flock.” Marcus said moving over to the corner of his office, I watched him as he grabbed three crystal tumblers and started to pour an amber
