All Chapters of The Rejected plump omega becomes his obsession: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 21 Maeve “Are you hurt?” he asked.I looked at him and forced myself to answer honestly.“No. Just filmed and called fat in front of half the hotel. Same as every other day this week.”His face fell.“I’m going to find that guy and…”“Don’t.”My voice came out quieter than I expected.“Please. It’s already going to be everywhere. Everyone already has the video. Just don’t make it worse.”He looked like he wanted to argue. I could see the anger fighting with the concern on his face.But instead of saying anything, he nodded and walked me back upstairs.The silence between us felt heavy.The second we stepped inside the suite and the door closed behind us, Rowan pulled me into his arms. It wasn’t like his usual hugs. This one was tighter. Desperate. Like he was trying to protect me from everything outside that door.I let him hold me.For a few minutes, I stopped pretending I was fine.My phone kept buzzing in my pocket the entire time, but neither of us moved to check it.An

Chapter 23 Maeve He told me to open the door and I did and he stepped inside right away and locked it behind him and in just two seconds he had me pressed hard against the sink. His mouth was on mine before I could say one word and the kiss was hungry and angry and full of everything we had not been allowed to do upstairs, his hands gripped my hips hard while his fingers dug into the soft flesh he always seemed to want more of. His lips were hot and firm and he sucked on my lower lip hard, then his tongue pushed into my mouth as I opened for him right away because I loved the way he kissed me and I loved the wet feel of his saliva mixing with mine. He sucked on my tongue and I sucked back on his and the taste of him filled my mouth as I swallowed all of his saliva and it made me even wetter between my legs. I loved how he tasted and I loved how wet and messy our mouths became. His tongue moved deep and slow at first and then faster and he kept feeding me more of his saliva, I dran

Chapter 25 Maeve “What do you want?”“Not what you think. I’m not here to post anything or tip off the medical head. Exposure is messy and it makes me look like the bad guy. I prefer cleaner options.” He tilted his head, studying my face the same way he had at dinner. “Here’s the deal. I keep my mouth shut. I even make sure a couple of the right people start questioning the timestamps so the photos lose steam. In exchange you do something for me.”“What.”“You start creating real distance. Not the half-hearted public rules you’ve been playing at. Real distance. You stop the closed-door meetings. You stop looking at him like that across tables. You make it clear to anyone watching that the captain’s medical intern is just staff. And when the next brand event comes up you sit where I tell you to sit and you smile for the cameras next to whoever I put you next to. It muddies the story. It gives the forums something new to chew on. And it keeps your internship intact because the headlin

Chapter 27 Maeve He looked at me with this soft and calm eyes that kept screaming lust and love at the same time. “Because you look exactly like you did after the first photos landed and because Zayne has been walking around all day like he already won. What did she send.”I laughed once, short and without any humor. “A cropped still from the corridor and a note that the medical head already got an anonymous tip about distractions. One more photo and I am on a plane. Happy now?”His jaw flexed. He took a step closer and I stepped back until my shoulders hit the wall. “I am going to deal with her.”“No you are not. You start something and the headlines write themselves. Captain loses temper over medical intern. Perfect. Exactly what we need right after the bathroom timing photos.”“So what then. You just sit here and let them run the board?”“I am going to take Zayne’s deal.” The words came out flatter than I meant them to. “Temporarily. Real distance. No closed doors. Sit where he t

Chapter 29 Maeve Breakfast dragged on longer than it needed to. Plates emptied and people started standing and moving toward the morning briefing in slow groups. Zayne stood first and waited for me like we were leaving together as a unit.“Ready to head over?”“I can walk myself to the same room I’ve been walking to all week.”“Of course you can. But it looks better if we walk out at the same time. Muddies the old story and gives the forums something new to argue about instead of the timestamps.”I stood because refusing would have drawn more eyes than complying. The brand partner shook my hand again. “Good talking with you, Maeve. Catch up later at the next event if the timing works.”“Sure. Looking forward to it.”I nodded and followed Zayne toward the doors while Rowan stayed near the windows. Our eyes met for one second, maybe less. His face did not change. Mine stayed carefully blank. I looked away first and kept walking because that was the only move left that did not break th
