“That was fun,” I admitted out loud.
“Yeah?” Waylen murmured.
The laughter in his voice made me smile. We were returning to his car, and he had his hand on my lower back. Ian was still inside the hut. The last time our eyes met, he looked constipated.
“We really should start charging our clients for making us come all the way without showing up,” I said to break the silence.
He chuckled. “You’re right. I’ll let them know the next time they schedule an appointment.”
My body thrummed under Waylen’s touch, and at the thought of doing this another time. This should be the part where I edged away from him or give a warning to steer clear off me, but I leaned closer. He noticed, and his arm curled around my waist. We shared something back there in the hut, and if only for this evening, I wanted to play pretend.
“So that’s the ex, huh?” Wayle
I eyed the tall building, my nose wrinkling as I took the first step toward the doors that opened automatically on sensing my presence. Cy should be expecting me. I was a bit early. Thirty minutes earlier, to be exact.Waylen might have something to do with that. He was the reason I scheduled the meeting with Cy for Saturday morning. I wanted it to happen during the week, but it was the only time Cy could squeeze into his schedule.Excitement thrummed under my skin. Waylen hadn’t talked about the arrangement, but I was as giddy as a school girl. I already shaved and picked out a nice lingerie for tonight and tomorrow. What would we do? The man had many tricks up his sleeves, but most of all, I was looking forward to the sex.The receptionist directed me to Cy’s office. I got in there, muttering apologies for being too early. He waved them all off, and we went to the hall for inspection.It was everything Waylen wanted.
WAYLENBeth was the only woman I couldn’t resist. Yet I stupidly put myself in an unavoidable position with her. When she looked at me with those ‘please fuck me, Waylen’ eyes, the only person who could have stopped it from happening was the Moon goddess. I couldn’t say I regretted it. I already felt better than when I hunted her down at the hotel. Those pictures put me in a mood. I was still wound tight but better, thanks to her. I did myself a huge disservice by going to see her, but I was worried sick and fucking horny. Waiting for Beth to verbally consent before I touched her was fucking with my head. I must be a fan of torture, and I proved it again when I steered the car toward the pack house instead of my private space. Rey greeted me at the garage. He was the only reason I could pull away from that apartment when Beth wanted me to walk her to her room and fuck her on a bigger and better surface. We would have cuddled after. I missed that shit
Hosting a party was tough. Switching venues in such a short time was tougher. I scanned the list on my screen, deleting names and adding more. The caterers were already sorted out. The event planners were taking care of the rest. Waylen was sparing no cost on this party. I still didn’t know his intention.He had pushed most of our meetings back. The only meeting of importance was the one with the CEO of Sterling Corp, which never held. Waylen hadn’t spoken about it, but I knew he was trying to find a way around it.A second yawn escaped me. I dropped the glasses I only used when on my laptop to the desk and stretched my arms. One peek at my phone showed it was time for my lunch break.The door connecting my office to Waylen’s opened. I was yet to get used to his unexpected check-ins but didn’t flinch. I hid my surprise behind a smile. After the pizza and movie date, I wasn’t sure how to act around him anymore. His
There was nothing to it. Waylen had a genuine reason for shipping me off that way yesterday. But I couldn’t stop replaying the events of Friday in my head in slow motion. Was it because I called him by his middle name? It made the moment feel more intimate, less of a booty call and more like an interaction between lovers. Lovers? What the hell was I doing with my boss? He was my boss, a superior. A hit on my forehead forced me out of my reverie. I glared at Lynn, and she threw another pillow at me. Younger sisters were something else. When she was not shopping in my closet, she was trying to blackmail me into increasing her weekly allowance. I tried to get off the bed but she jumped over me. “Oh, my God. What is it?” I groaned. Lynn stared down at me with her brown curls framing her face. She was the exact copy of my mother while I was a blend of both parents. As kids, I had to defend our relationship a lot because the idea of two different skin t
I was running late. Today’s traffic was straight from hell. Stopping by the pastry shop to get donuts for me and my boss had seemed like a great idea until now. I pushed my hand into my bag to feel the pack. It was not as hot anymore. My fingers brushed the porcelain, and I retracted my hand. I had already sent my boss a message to inform him about the traffic, but I was still nervous.Waylen was at the office. He asked if he could pick me up from home, but I refused. On Saturday, I saw a side of him I had never seen before. A side that made my heart race faster than it ever did. That man was something, and he was growing irresistible.The cab slowed in front of my office complex, and I shot out of the car like someone lit a fire under my ass. I smoothed my dress in front of the elevator and tapped on my floor digit. Stepping in, I passed myself a look at the mirror walls. I didn’t have to be nervous. It was just a mug. A customized mug for a boss my sister
On Friday evening, a day to our party, Waylen texted to know if I wanted to hang out at his place. I scoffed at the words on my screen.Our relationship in the last few days leading to the party had been nothing but professionally confusing. He was so busy planning the party that we hadn’t gone on another of his silly meeting with inexistent clients. I understood the urgency of the party, but it was disappointing to only receive a kiss from a man I knew how expertly he could work his fingers, tongue, and cock.I tossed the phone on the couch, tried to ignore the message, but my heart was saying yes. Still, I ignored the text on my phone, forcing myself to concentrate on the movie on my laptop. I re-watched the same scene twice, but it made less sense than it did the last time I watched it. My phone rang, and I jumped. It was my boss. I picked up after two rings.“Beth,” was the first thing Waylen said.“Boss,” I r
Moments passed until I was able to speak up. Waylen’s gaze didn’t falter.“No,” I finally replied. “I want to stay.”And I guessed that made me a crazy woman. His lips pressed to mine in a brief kiss, and those silly thoughts evaporated. I reined in my emotions at his grin.“Are you sure?” he asked. “Whatever you do tonight, you do of your free will, isn’t it?”“It is, Waylen. I’m sure,” I answered.The second smile he threw my way was mindblowing. It felt like I had done more than say yes to his request. When he left for his room, I picked up a sheet on the table. It had a long list of movies, a few I recognized because Gerald Butler was starring in them.“What’s this?” I asked Waylen when he returned to the living room. His top buttons were undone to reveal a glimpse of blond chest hair. Waylen dropped down beside m
WAYLENThe buzz beside my head woke me up. I reached for my phone but came up empty. Rolling onto my back, I rubbed my hands over my eyes. If it were my phone, it wouldn’t vibrate. It would ring. I sat up slowly as the events of last night rushed in. I knotted again. I didn’t mean to do that, but she marked me, and Len wasn’t giving up. He wanted to spend some time with his mate.Another buzz from the nightstand brought me fully to the present. Beth’s purse was vibrating. I brought it in here last night. I retrieved the phone and put it on DND. The name on her screen was unfamiliar but that of a female. I wouldn’t know what to do if it were a male. Now that we were fully bonded, I would only grow more possessive about her.I glanced at the naked woman beside me. The rumpled comforter stopped halfway on Beth’s ass, hiding the rest of her body. My lips lifted in a smile when I spotted the mark on her neck. Though visib
