.“I can’t believe we did that,” Roy couldn’t help but half-wail as Bryan led him to the private washroom between the public cabin and his office. He tried to take the small towel Bryan was holding but he shook his head.“Let me clean you up,” Bryan said softly.Roy squirmed, embarrassed, and touched at the same time at Bryan’s unexpectedly tender attention.“I love making you scream for me,” Bryan said, the satisfaction brimming in his voice more than audible. He straightened, tossing the wet towel into the laundry bin before opening the glass cabinet over the sink.When he closed it, Bryan had a pair of briefs packed and sealed in a silver foil bag. “I had this prepared in advance.”“Thanks,” He mumbled as he took the underwear.Even though Roy knew it was silly of him to ask, especially after what had happened between them, Misty swallowed and inquired, “Could you turn your back while I put this on?”Bryan grinned. “No.”Roy glared at him. “You’re having fun with this, aren’t you?”
Bryan inclined his head with a derisive smirk, “Of course, Father. Your wish has always been my command.” There was a hint of mockery in his tone that made Roy nervous.He would never have pegged Bryan to be the disrespectful type, but this was somewhat inevitable after the conversation he’d listened to between Bryan and his father.When the two walked away, the formerly warm smile on Darnell’s face was strained.She beckoned her sons to come forward, muttering, “Boys, why don’t you take dear Roy to the refreshments table? After such a long trip, I’m sure he’s thirsty.”“Mother, we are going to join them!”She was long gone before the girls piped up, following her husband and son.Roy had a feeling that Darnell would have sprinted if she didn’t happen to have what seemed like a ten-foot-long train trailing behind her.Abel shook his head. “Here we go again.” Cain turned to Roy and slapped him lightly on the back, “Sorry man, we have to go.”He and his twin left, too.Roy was startled
Roy’s mind was blank through the whole night and he had trouble sleeping. A sense of foreboding that’d enveloped him while he was with Bryan’s siblings failed to leave and even Hailey noticed but he couldn’t give an adequate explanation. The next morning, he went to the bathroom to have a quick shower and then took a taxi to Anderson Inc. in hopes of getting answers from Bryan as to why he was so quick to dismiss him without saying a word to him. But when he arrived at the company, the legal department of Anderson inc. was a mess, and everyone’s face was filled with trepidation. Fortunately, Kristine resumed today, and after Roy filled her in on everything that happened between him and Bryan—leaving out the sexual details, the Lycan part, and meeting his family. She gasped. Already, before Roy arrived, she had been told a few bits and pieces of the story from the gossiping staff but hearing it from Roy explained everything. “So I was right!” she fist-bumped the air, “Mr. Anderson

Roy could sense that they were mind-linking because they shared the same expression Bryan’s siblings had shared that day in the hotel.He lowered his eyes onto a pattern on the floor, feeling the hair at the back of his neck tingle with tension.He jerked upright when Bryan made a growling noise at the back of his throat, his eyes menacing as he glared at his father.Finally, his father broke eye contact and scoffed, “Fine. You have ten minutes.”That said, he strolled out of the hospital room and the door slammed shut behind him, leaving Bryan and Roy in an uncomfortable silence.Just as Roy parted his lips to speak, Bryan leaped from the bed and drew Roy into his arms, burying his face into Roy’s hair.Roy wasn’t sure but he could swear he felt a wetness on his scalp…Was Bryan crying?His heart constricted and it became harder to breathe. Was his strong Lycan Prince crumbling against him?He raised the limp arms dangling by his sides and wrapped them around Bryan, rubbing down his b
Whatever happens, don’t leave me, Roy.That sentence played around in a loop in his head till it actually made him sick to his stomach.His fingers balled into a fist at his sides where he stood in a corner of the general conference room, which looked more like a hall.Kristine stood beside him, glancing at him occasionally, probably to see if he was going to cry, ready to offer him solace.Ah well, he was hanging on by a thread.All the employees of Anderson Inc. had been waiting for the past thirty minutes for their CEO to show up but it seemed it would be a very long wait.Roy set his gaze straight, ignoring the pitiful and sometimes, spiteful glances most of the workers shot him.It was clear that they’d all seen the headlines and were curious as to how Roy would act. Asides from the trembling of his fingers that were hidden in his fist, Roy was miraculously and impressively stoic.The conference room/hall suddenly became hushed and Roy swallowed hard, realizing that Bryan Anderso

When he dragged himself from bed in the morning, he had a murderous migraine that threatened to split his brain in half, but the oppressive sense of betrayal was gone. It was gray and blustery outside, but the rain had stopped.He could only recollect bits and pieces of the conversation he’d had with his siblings and Hailey’s grumbling about Roy dating Anderson for his money.He couldn’t bring himself to tell them that they were right as usual and Anderson like every other man that had come into his life to only use him.But it was only a matter of time before Hailey would see the news. Since Anderson Inc. and Siemens holdings were big names in the business world, their engagement was aired on wall street journal TV.Throwing down a bottle of water and aspirin, he quickly washed his mouth that felt like he’d drank cat piss, and padded out of his room.It was only when he got halfway down the hallway that he noticed that he was still in the clothes of yesterday.He should call the head
