Then he was just gone from her apartment, a merry smile on his face. He’d still been fully aroused himself as he’d left her apartment. He didn’t even bloody care she realized who would see it. It was the wee hours of the morning and there was unlikely to be many out walking at this time of night.
She grabbed her pillow and yanked it over her face and screamed with frustration into it.
He thought it was amusing, and as a punishment it was actually effective, she thought annoyingly. Because now all she could think about was that ache inside of her that wanted him to come back and bloody finish the job. He had the equipment to do so, she’d gotten to feel that. She got up and took a cold shower and tried to shake it off.
She had to remember not to laugh at him in the future. It seemed he didn’t like it much, or maybe it was just that she normally slept completely naked and so had to pull that slip on because he’d been there, but hadn’t thought about panties because she’d never worn them to bed, and she’d never once even considered something like that would happen with him. She didn’t think it would have happened if she’d had panties on.
Wynta flopped down on her bed and buried her face in her pillow, and closed her eyes. What the hell was wrong with her? She didn’t want to be bedded by another Alpha for his own selfish needs or wants. She’d had that once before and had always told herself she would never go there again.
But even as she rolled around in her bed unhappy about feeling unsatisfied and wanting to be satisfied. She wondered if she could call what he’d done selfish at all, his clothes had stayed on, and he’d not gotten a release out of it. His intent, she knew, had been to rile her up, create pleasure for her and then deny her, it was punishment, not pleasure. But also a pleasurable punishment.
He’d been amused the entire time, and she knew it, likely only turned on by the scent of her arousal and nothing more, she wondered just what kind of person he was in bed? Then she had to shake it off, “No, I don’t want to know.” She told herself as she again tossed and turned and tried to go back to sleep.
She did sleep though how long it took to fall asleep. She didn’t know, all she knew was that when her alarm went off to get up for work, she was still tired and dragging her ass out of bed was hard. She stood and made coffee and had to force herself to get dressed and make her way to work after eating breakfast.
If she didn’t turn up today, that would be him winning yet again. He’d beaten her last night simply by walking away and not giving her what she’d asked for, Goddess the way she’d said the word “Please.” Was so bloody embarrassing. She knew even now it was all wanton and needy, a begging tone to it. He’d not missed it, had done to her exactly what he’d intended to do.
She walked into the office building’s lobby, and there was Jared leaning on the reception. desk, seemingly chatting away to the woman there. The woman was all smiles and liking the attention, though he turned and looked at Wynta as she came in. “Morning Wynta, sleep well? he asked casually, but there was a knowing smile on his face for her to see, as he pushed.
“Yes, like a baby.” She answered and walked on by him as if nothing had happened between them last night.
He chuckled softly, amused by her dismissiveness, she supposed. “I hear babies are restless and hard to settle,” he stated, falling into step with her.
“Is there something you want, Mr Hayes?” She asked as she pressed the elevator button.
“Hmm, there is…” he stated but said no more as they stood there with other employees milling around, also waiting for the elevator.
She refused to look at him and ask what it was, knew he was trying to win this game, so she left it alone. She got into the elevator when its doors slid open, and he stepped in after her and smiled at her as he leaned on the wall next to her, and everyone else started piling in as well. His hand snaked around her and tugged her a little bit closer to himself. “Everyone has to fit in,” he stated.
“Don’t you normally take the express elevator?” She asked as he let go.
“Hmm, but we have a meeting this morning to attend to.” he stated simply, and she saw him pull his phone out to look at it.
“There’s nothing on my schedule.” She frowned instantly.
“I added it this morning, after security stated they saw someone suspicious following you home. You always walk, I hear… I also alerted father about it this morning. We’ll be going to his office for that meeting.” He was all business now, she realized.
She sighed but said nothing, she’d seen that wolf across the street, and she’d thought he’d been with Jared before she’d known who he was. But now she wondered who it was. She couldn’t pick up a pack scent, but even as she thought about that, she realized something else, and her eyes moved to Jared; he would have, and she did know what her home pack. scented like.
He looked at her after a moment of her looking at him. “It’s likely father will want you to have a driver or be escorted home until it’s seen as either a misunderstanding or is resolved,” he told her.
She nodded in response to his words. She couldn’t very well ask him the question that was much on her mind. They were in an elevator that was full of humans. She didn’t really say after that. She just rode the elevator in silence as people got out on their respective floors. She did as well, and he followed her. “You know, Mr Hayes, I know where your father’s office is.”
“I’m certain you do,” he stated almost dismissively as he walked next to her, his phone in his hand and his eyes on it, as though he was uncaring about the conversation. “Father stated I have to bring you, so I am just following orders.” he commented sounding very dismissive, and he stopped by her teams desk and leaned on it as he waved her into her office without even looking at her “Don’t dawdle I hate that, I’ve got many things to do this morning Ms Morgan, and being a tour guide isn’t one of them.”
She put her things down in her office and headed back out. He was already walking away, and she was made to follow along behind him, though from here he went right to the express elevator and tapped his work card onto the black sensor. He stepped in and aside to lean on the wall as the doors slid closed.
The moment they were closed, she saw a smirk touch his face and his eyes met her, “You look tired, like you didn’t quite go back to sleep last night.” He stated, and she heard the amusement in his tone now.
She raised an eyebrow at him and asked right back. “How was your enforced nap?” a smirk of her own in place.
“I haven’t had a decent sleep in ages. Thank you for that.” he smiled as he put his phone away.
“Sneak up on me anytime you want to look like a raccoon in the future.” She smiled at him, ” You want to see the picture I snapped?”
