Suddenly, I felt someone coming down the hall, so I quickly let go of her and took a good distance from between the two of us. We both were out of breath.
"I don't want to see you near that cook again. Got it?" I told her before I stormed off to the second floor and before I entered the office, I took the time to compose myself. I didn't want my beta and gamma noticing anything. I entered into my office and I could tell Remus and Max were eyeing me suspiciously, but I ignored them both and focused on my computer screen.
"Had some fun did we now?" Max was snickering as Remus shook his head.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked him annoyed at his childish antics.
"Oh, I don't know. When you left a while ago, your hair didn't look the way it does right now?" He kept snickering.
"Just check yourself in the mirror alpha." Remus commented, his face one of complete boredom.
I turned my PC screen off and noticed that my hair was a complete mess. This must've happened when Aurora passed her hands in it. Damn it. Just remembering it all made my dick hard again. Aurora, you are gonna be the end of me.
"You both are dismissed." I told them as I tried to bury myself in work.
"Yay!" Max shouted gleefully as he got up of his chair and practically ran out the office. Remus was right behind him before he stopped and addressed me.
"Alpha Wolfgang. I highly recommend you withdraw that warning over miss Craton's head. The girl seems harmless to me. I wouldn't want anything to happen to her." He said before leaving the office.
"Your gamma is right boy. We both know she isn't a thief." Cronnos said to me.
"I'll deal with that afterwards, when I reject her." I answered him as I opened the mails in my computer.
"Don't let harm come to that girl because of your selfishness boy." He growled but I ignored him as I read through my hotel reservation for the summit.
Right then there was a knock on the door. "Come in."
In came Tallulah in some tight skinny jeans and a crop top that reveal too much of her cleavage.
"What do you want?" I asked not bothering to look at her.
"I missed you all day, so I came to see you. I see you're still busy." She said as she came over and sat on my desk before me.
"As a matter of fact, I am Tallulah." I answered her not really interested in what she had to say.
"Oh babe. When are you gonna start to call me baby, honey, darling? When you just mention my name, it feels like I'm being scolded." She pouted her thick lips that were coated in pink lipstick. I only stared at her and went back to my computer.
She then hopped off the desk and came around it, standing right behind me, massaging my shoulders.
"You look so tense babe. Why don't you take some time off and relax?" She said as she nibbled my earlobe and trailed kisses down my neck.
I couldn't help picturing it was Aurora who was doing this all and I took hold of her and dragged her over my lap. I kissed her and she was more than willing to follow into the kiss, one arm wrapped around my neck while the other massaged my hair.
I walked back into my office to find Tallulah seated comfortably in my chair.
"I thought you would have left." I told her.
"I was waiting on you baby." She purred as she whipped her blonde hair back.
"Let me rephrase that. I was hoping you would have left." I told her holding back anger. I didn't want to blow up on her.
"Why?" She stood outraged.
"I want to be alone. Now leave." I growled at her.
She stood back clearly intimidated by my aura. "Fine. Only because you asked nicely." She said before walking out the office leaving me alone to my thoughts.
"You're such a huge douche bag, you knew that kid? How much longer until you finally realize the harm you're doing to our mate?" Cronnos growled in my mind.
"Not now fleabag." I blocked him out. I really didn't need him ranting on me right now.
"Suit yourself you dimwit."
