I slowly pushed him away, pressing my hands to his chest, and thankfully, Alpha Kane stopped instantly.My legs buckled and my hands shook.Our lips finally parted, and his warmth left me; a chilling loneliness entered my heart. The feeling was so terrible that I wanted him to press his lips to mine again.He was still holding my face. I slowly raised my eyes to look at him, to see what he was feeling.There was a hungry desire in his eyes, and disappointment in them.Was he as excited as I was?He blinked curiously, staring at me, waiting for an answer, and I was ready to burn him.The truth was, his kiss excited me just as much. Both knew how to devour me with their touch, and now Alpha Kane was going to turn it into an undeclared competition.It was all going my way, and the arrogant CEO's mood was ruined."He's better," I told him, not hiding my smirk. I imagined Alpha Kane's face would instantly freeze and he would let go of mine, but he didn't.Instead, he remained quite relaxed
Kane's POVThat's exactly what did it for me, as a low hum echoed in my chest.I reached out with my free hand and looked into her shining azure eyes."I hope you like brandy." With that, I reached out and took a long sip from my glass.Lowing the glass down, I grabbed her head and fisted the hair at the back of her neck. Pressing my lips to hers in a whirlwind of emotion, I let our lips merge.She hesitated for only a moment, her body tensing, and I waited, but then she almost melted into my touch, like ice turning to water.Her soft hands gripped my shirt as I tightened my grip on her locks, tilting her head. Brandy gushed into my mouth, and I slowly spilled some into hers.She gasped, opening her mouth wider, and I pulled her, crossing my legs around her calves. She came willingly.I kissed her with passion and lust, swirling in a whirlwind of uncontrollable emotions. They spilled out like popcorn from a hot pot.I inhaled her perfume greedily, dripping the brandy slowly and gently
“Not for me?” There was amusement in Kane’s voice. "Tell me, buddy. Are you cheating on me?"I exhaled furiously and felt my entire face turn red.Just like those strawberries I loved so much."You need to delete that. It's a private message, and my contract says I don't have to tell you anything about my personal life. It's none of your business who I date or..." I didn't want to say "fuck" in front of him. He was still my boss, after all.He raised his right eyebrow at my answer, his face still gleaming with amusement at my awkwardness."So your boyfriend knows that you sleep in my bedroom and what we do at night?" Alpha Kane asked shamelessly, clearly interested in my personal life."As I said before, and I'll say again, with all due respect to you." I snorted, emphasizing each word.“IT’S NOT YOUR CONCERN. PLEASE! DELETE.”I knew that even if I deleted it on my end, it was already downloaded to his phone, and until he wanted it to be deleted, it would remain.“I’d be happy to, Zar
Having plugged it into the charger, I hurried to the washroom to do my work dressing before work.After a quick snack of toast and orange juice. I headed to the office with the determination of a woman who has a grievance against her boss.I brewed his morning coffee and said a morning prayer over it, so that it would be as black as the darkest night and as bitter as the water flowing from a shrinking bitter gourd. I took the coffee to him and pressed the logo on the door.Permission was quickly granted, and I pushed the door open, carrying his coffee.The sun must have risen in the west that day.The ever-sulky Alpha Kane smiled as he leaned against his bar, where his entire expensive collection was neatly stacked behind glass cases.Pouring himself a brandy from a square decanter, Alpha Kane looked like he stepped out of a fashion magazine today. In his immaculately polished oxfords, pressed trousers, and a tight navy shirt with the top buttons undone.The golden-yellow liquid swirl
Alpha Kane paired me with Jackson, though I could see the reluctance in his eyes. At one point, Alpha Zeke came over to demonstrate an attack move with Jackson and me.Jackson hit the mat with a thud, and Alpha Zeke stood over him. The move could be used in both wolf and human form. In wolf form, Alpha Zeke's teeth would close around Jackson's throat. The move sent his opponent flying and to the ground."If you don't mind, I'd like to spar with Zara." Alpha Zeke grinned widely, excitement playing in his eyes.Alpha Zeke is an intimidating creature. With his huge frame and massive biceps, few wolves would dare mess with someone like Alpha Zeke. My heart was pounding in my chest, but somehow I held my own against Alpha Kane.Alpha Kane was next to the three of us in record time, seemingly eavesdropping on our conversation. His eyes were hooded and dark as he looked at me, sending a whirlwind of conflicting emotions through me."Do you mind, Alpha Kane?" Alpha Zeke turned, giving Alpha K
Deciding to focus on something other than these feelings, I asked Alpha Kane what had happened during the fight.Alpha Kane lifted my shirt from my head, another intimate act. I was counting at this point, each movement making me flutter inside. Alpha Kane had insisted that we shower, but he noticed how I seemed to be unsteady on my own feet.He was incredibly gentle, removing each piece of clothing with ease. I barely felt his fingertips touching my skin as he removed my bra.Alpha Kane's lips pressed together in a tight line, an expression I was beginning to anticipate. His dark brows drew together, worry clouding his honey eyes."Beautiful?" Alpha Kane murmured, his voice husky.It was my turn to purse my lips. I had learned my lesson about telling Alpha Kane the truth. If I lied to him, it would come back to haunt me.My pants and underwear hit the floor with a thud. It was clear Alpha Kane had seen something during the fight that he didn't want to talk about. Desire and lust puls
