Chapter 2
“Five pm, my office!” he turned and opened the giant mahogany door and walked in, the door clapped behind him, and my body remembered to breathe again.
We did a loop around the office with Secretary Yeon introducing me to everyone in every department, I must admit it was unquestionably information overload.
I loved my team though we were a group of four including me all of us foreign correspondents,
“Tina is the correspondent for Paris, Dave is the correspondent for North America and Lauren is the correspondent for London and this is Alicia Thomson the new correspondent for Africa” Secretary Yeon introduced me.
We got along well, they even took me out for a late lunch after finding out that I hadn’t eaten, I loved that they all spoke English, don’t get me wrong I will still learn Korean.
Suddenly it was five pm, I was both looking forward to and dreading this moment at the same time, all my teammates had left for the day and Secretary Yeon came to get me, I walked behind her with my teeth clenched, my hands balled up into fists, tucked tight against my body, taking deep breaths trying to calm myself down, my body jumped when she knocked on his door
“Enter” his husky voice sending chills down my spine, I walked in and closed the door with secretary Yeong on the other side, I stood at the door looking at my mate slowly stroking his chin, his eyes piercing my soul, his ring telling me to keep away
“Where were you?” he growled, and my body froze knowing exactly what he was asking, but the Catholic girl inside said I have no right to entertain such thoughts, mate or not, I have to keep my distance.
“Oh, Secretary Yeon was just showing me around the..” he lifted his hand up making me stop mid-sentence, he got up from his chair and walked around his ten-metre-long desk, it was huge but somehow looked small swallowed up by the High-rise windows and walls that were too far apart to measure, he moved slowly towards me, his footsteps echoing in the huge office.
I swallowed as the marble floor reflected his perfect stature, lights from the rectangular chandelier reflected on the shimmering floor lighting up the entire office, every inch of this place is spotless, including him, not a hair out of place, green plants lined the windows absorbing the tremor from his steps.
My body went numb with every step, he got closer his scent engulfing me, my knees buckled, and my back crashed against the door, I bit my lip as he leaned in towering over me, and I looked up at him
“Where do you think you’re going?” his breath worm on my cheek sending sparks all lover my body, he sneaked his arm around my waist puling me hard against his body making me gasp, his lips inched closer to mine
“Yes, take me I’m yours” my wolf swooned, he brushed his lips against mine and my body trembled
“screw that wife of yours, you are mine” my wolf barked, and I jumped back at her words
“Bang”
my head hit the door
“Are you okay?” he inched closer a glint of concern flashed in his eyes
“Yes I’m okay” I said pressing myself tighter against the door
“what did you mean by your question?” I asked trying to distract myself, he brushed my cheek softly rendering my attempt useless
“You kept me waiting all this time, where have you been?” his voice cracked and my heart pained, this is dangerous, we are playing with fire here, I need to go, before I do something I’ll regret.
“I have to go” I said franticly searching for the door handle behind me
“Hey, wait we need to get you checked” he pressed on the spot that hit the door, but that was not the problem, the sparks he sent flaying within me were.
“No, no, no don’t worry about me, I’m fine” I reached the handle and opened the door, he didn’t move, and the door opened only slightly, I wiggled myself away from him smiling and laughing awkwardly, he just stood there watching me panic desperately squeezing myself through the tiny crack in the door with a huge smile on his face.
“Do you know how cute you are?” he said as the door closed, I put my hand on my lips they were still tingling from when his lips were brushing against them, I ran to the bathroom and splashed water on my face
“What the fuck” I breathed, looking at myself in the mirror, my heart pounding in my chest
“okay, focus Alicia, yes he is your mate, but he is married okay, you were too late, get that, what happened in that office can’t ever happen again, control yourself” I said pointing a finger at my reflection
“I’m afraid I can’t allow that” his voice made me jump, I turned to see him standing arms folded at the door looking at me with a small smile on his face,
‘fuck, did he hear everything I just said?’ my cheeks flushed at the realisation, he walked in, and the door creaked behind him
“Wait, someone could come in…you don’t want that do you?”
he chuckled, the force of his heat pinning me against the sink
“Are you forgetting that this is the president’s floor?” he smirked “and it’s after hours, we have the entire office to ourselves there is no need to worry my love” he said leaning in, his hands on either side of me resting on the sink trapping me.
‘fuck I’m trapped’ I thought to myself, I looked around frantically searching for a way out
“No way-out Miss Thompson” he said softly brushing my cheek tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear turning my body to jelly, I moaned revelling in the feel of his touch, he chuckled joy radiating from him
His smirk made me angry; he is enjoying toying me, is this a joke to him, am I just a plaything to him?
‘two can play that game mister’ I looked up at him summoning all my strength, I brought my hand to his face, and gently caressed his cheek, he bit his lip, closed his eyes, and leaned into my hand,
"Your touch is all I need" he breathed, I pressed my body against his, his dark cocoa-coloured eyes turned darker, he grabbed my waist, and a small scream escaped my lips as he lifted me onto the marble sink, spread my legs and pushed against me, I gasped at the feel of him at my core, he slowly kissed my neck, nibbling and biting sending my body on a frenzy, he unbuttoned my shirt breathing heavily on my skin giving me butterflies.
“Where have you been?” he hissed his tongue licking the sweet spot on my neck, the spot no one else can touch except him,
‘my mate’
he is the only one with the right to touch me there and he knows it, he liked my marking sport nibbling gently sending electricity down my spine to my core shooting out of my centre making me wet
“Where have you been?” I shot the question back to him, the agony of it making my eyes well up with tears
“I waited…God knows I waited” he breathed pressing me against his chest holding me tight nibbling on my earlobe, I held on to his collar for dear life
“Why did you give up on us… on me?” I asked and he froze, my question knocking sense back into him, and he moved back
My hand slipped on the wet sink, and I lost my balance trying to descend smashing myself into his hard chest, his arms quickly wrapped tight around me, and his lips invaded mine, sending every fibre of my being into an uncontrollable ecstasy, he unbuttoned the rest of my shirt, and I took his off, he squeezed my ass and I moaned in his mouth
“Fuck, I can’t take it anymore” he growled smashing me against the wall lifting me up and I straddle him between my leg, our lips sucking the life from each other.
“I want you so bad” he hissed slowly rubbing himself against my core and my head shot back in anticipation,
“Take me” I hissed his breathing thickened, and he bit my lip, a faint buzz invaded my ears
“What is that?” I breathed
“make it stop, please” I groaned as it continued threatening to bring me back from my trance
“Easy my love, I’ll just tell whoever is calling that I’m busy” he winked at me giving me a light pack on the lips, I giggled feeling the happiest I’ve ever felt
“Hello, oh hi honey” he said releasing his grip on me, my feet hit the ground and the reality of the situation hit me hard
‘what the fuck am I doing?’ we quickly put ourselves together as though she was in the bathroom with us, and we were just caught in the act
“Yes, I’m leaving the office now, I’ll be there soon, yes… love you too” he shot me a look that said he wished I wasn’t here to hear what he just said, my heart pained at his words, and I bit my lip trying to stop the tears from escaping,
I rushed out of the bathroom and ran to the elevator,
“Fuck, fuck, fuck…what the fuck is wrong with me…stupid, stupid, stupid” I hissed hitting myself on head with my palm
I frantically pressed the button willing the elevator to open with all my might,
‘I can’t be here, I need to get the hell out of here, what the fuck was I thinking, why did I do that?’
“Yes, love you too” his words ringing in my head
“thank goodness” I said walking into the elevator pressing the close button a thousand times,
“I can’t let him find me here” I breathed a sigh of relief as the doors started to close
“why is it so slow, has it always been this slow?” I pulsed up and down anxiously waiting for the doors to close, I relaxed seeing them inch closer
“Ping”
my eyes shot up as the doors opened again and he stood at the threshold his scent willing my anger to subside
‘No, I can’t let him in again, I have to be strong, I must resist him no matter what’
“Going down?” he smirked his dark caramel coated eyes telling me that this night was far from over.
