(Tayla's POV)
My body came alive with desire when our lips met. Earlier, when he smiled, I got mad. How could this complete stranger have such an effect on me? That sexy as hell smile had my heart skipping, but he noticed and thought I was mad at him, so he stopped. From what I can gather, he's a lower wolf, not too far down the ladder. If the Alpha's trusted him with their money, fourth or fifth in the ladder.
Now we're in this booth kissing, but I can smell his sweet scent. I wasn't too far behind, I wanted...more. I suddenly pulled away, and shook my head.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"I'm not." he said as he pulled me back toward him, kissing me again and again. I wanted to rip his shirt off! His hand traveled up along my leg, so we were on the same page.
"Wait!" I suddenly said. He stopped, his gorgeous hazel eyes now almost white in color." Not here."
I was surprised at myself. Never have I ever done this kind of thing, and here I was suggesting it to a complete stranger.
"Follow me." he said, taking me by my hand again. Leading me out of the booth, and heading up stairs. At first I thought he was taking me to one of the meeting rooms, but we went further up, to the third floor. The halls down stairs had a few people in them, my guess doing what we were going to do up here. He opened a door and stood in the doorway.
Carefully, I walked toward him, now a little nervous. I walked into the room, it was clean, even the air was clean.
A king-sized platform bed, a couch by a fireplace, and a coffee table.
Once I was in a ways the door closed behind me, now I was questioning myself.
"Are you sure?" I heard behind me, so I turned to look at the man. I let my eyes wonder over him for a moment. Would I regret it? I doubt it. I will never see him again after tonight.
"I'm sure it's only tonight."
He seemed disappointed by that idea. If he worked for the packs, I didn't want to get more involved than just tonight. Slowly he walked toward me, his hand caressed my cheek. Then he kissed me.
"What if I don't want just tonight?" his tone was serious and determined.
I looked up into his eyes, he was being honest. That made me want him even more. I never thought I'd find....I shook my head. I couldn't think like that.
"Just tonight or I'll leave," I said. He looked mad at that but nodded. Suddenly, he grabbed his head, and for a moment I thought he was going to pass out, but he just stumbled back.
"Leave!" he ordered, but I didn't move.
"Are you okay?" I asked him, then it all stopped but I could feel something was off.
The level of power I felt in the room was scary. It was heavy, and it almost brought me to my knees. He wasn't a low wolf at all. Was he an Alpha? I tried to run for the door, but he held it shut. Then pinned me in place against the door. I didn't move, I didn't dare try and fight him.
"What are you?" his voice was different, more of a growl then actual words. As he sniffed my hair, then exposed my shoulder. Suddenly, he forced me to turn to face him. His eyes were white, and glaring at me.
"What do you mean?" I asked, remembering he asked a question.
We both froze as he sniffed my skin. For some reason I wasn't scared, I just waited.
He licked my neck, and I fought down a gasp.
"Clever. You covered your scent. Why?"
"Life has taught me to be safe rather than sorry,"I answered.
"Not well enough, it seems."
He was looking back at me again. The wolf looked agitated but also sad. His eyes went back to my lips. For a moment I thought he would kiss me again, but he pushed off the wall and walked away.
"Leave." he said.
Any sane person would've counted their blessings and left at that moment, but not me. Now I'm curious. Why was his wolf in charge right now? Would Gan come back either way? Why did I want to stay?
Slowly, I walked over to him. He had sat down on the couch, and I knelt. Exposing my neck to him. He glared at me, and got up. Walking away from me
"I don't need your pity!"
I was a little confused. Then it dawned on me. These wolves were accustomed to having women fighting over them, but it wasn't the case here. I liked him, there was an intense connection between us. But I can run and reject him. I got up, walked up to him, and then placed a light hand on his back. He tensed up but then I carefully turned him around to face me. His wolf glared right at me, but I ignored him, and started to take his shirt off him.
His body could have been carved out of marble. I had heard about how male werewolves had bulky bodies, full of muscle and just perfect. My hand touched his chest, then my lips kissed it. A shiver ran through both of us, as I slipped out of my dress and it fell to the floor.
We were both breathing heavily now. The anticipation was getting overwhelming. He made me face him, as his lips met mine again. Possessive and demanding. Then he carefully picked me up and took me to bed. I could hear ripping sounds and realized it was my bra and panties. I dropped onto the bed, completely exposed to him.
Without another word, he lay on top of me, his mouth slowly adoring every inch of me. I had never thought I would have a moment like this. Full of heat and desire. So intense I felt as if I were burning in a fire. His hands found my sensitive areas, causing gasps and soft moans to leave my lips. I have never been with a man, but my body knew what it wanted to feel. The idea of him in me...shit. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt him go down, first his fingers, then his mouth and tongue.
"Holy...." I gasped as he teased and licked me into a crazy fenzy.
"So sweet," he said, doing it a little faster and at a rhythm. I was moaning so loudly, almost screamed when I felt my first release hit. I felt so light headed, but that's when I heard a zipper and a wrapper. I looked and my mouth went dry, he couldn't be anymore perfect. Once he was ready, he climbed over me, spreading my legs wide.
"Be gentle with me," I said, and he realized what I meant.
"I'll make sure you never forget me,"he said. Now I realized too, it was Gan again. As he carefully slipped into me. I felt a burning ripping feeling, as my body got use to his size. Soon the feeling was gone, and he carefully started to move. First, he was slow and careful. At my request, he moved faster and harder, his mouth teasing my breasts, and his fingers my sensitive center. I screamed with such ecstasy, this all felt like a dream.
He looked at me, then bent down, kissed me and made me feel...loved.
"You still think this can only be for one night?" he asked, kissing me.
"Shhh, it's my turn." I said, getting him onto his back and I climbed on top. Slipping him back inside of me. " We have now."
I said and he nodded, a little disappointed he couldn't convince me otherwise. I moved and made sure he would never forget me either.
A few hours later, after an amazing night of s*x. I woke up and realized my mask was ripped on one side where the strap was. Pulling it off, I was surprised it lasted this long, but carefully I checked that Gan was still sleeping. He was, with all the pain in my heart. I got up and quickly grabbed my things and quickly put them on. Then left the room.
Without realizing it, I looked around and saw someone else coming out of a room. I would recognize the red highlights anywhere.
"Ivy!" I called softly. She froze and turned. She sighed and we quickly headed down stairs. Once outside, we both turned to each other.
"You were here the whole time?" I asked.
"Yeah, I waited for you but then got carried away with that guy...you know the one that invited me to a drink."
"Okay, anyway." I said a little flustered. Ivy stared at me a moment.
"What?"
"I saw you, you can't hide what I saw."
"Again, what would that be?"
"You and that guy had a connection, like an instant connection."
"Your point, Ivy?"
"Girl, you've heard the stories, could that guy be your mate?"
"Don't say crazy things, he works or is an Alpha. They want to find us and do God knows what with us! We need to get back to the house and put the others on alert. This was a one-night thing. He didn't see my face. We'll never see each other again."
Ivy looked disappointed at me, but nodded. The taxi we called arrived and we got in. The shadow, which was my wolf, whined and howled in my head. She, too, thought the same as Ivy. I had found my mate, but I would never see him again.
Once at the house, Eva looked super worried.
"What happened? I expected you hours ago?"
"We both got a little carried away with a couple of guys, sorry." said Ivy.
She shot me a glance, I shot her one too, but she didn't say more.
"How's Cassi?" I asked, going to check on our new girl.
"She woke up to eat, but went back to sleep right after. So what did you two find out?"
I checked on Cassi, who was indeed sleeping again. Then closed her door, went over to the couch, and sat down. The other girls followed.
"They've taken notice. Some of them are glad we're doing what we're doing. Others are not so much. They're older, if I have to guess. With very old ideas and views for sure. The problem is the ones that like us want us to join them to help each other out, but the others...I'm not sure what they want to do, but I'm sure it's nothing good."
"Seriously? Those bastards!"
"The ones that like us are impressed by your computer smarts, but the others really hate Tay for forming the group."
"So what's the plan? Stop looking for the girls that get attacked?"
"No, and I know we're already being super careful, but we'll have to take it up a notch on security."
"Okay, well, I'm gonna go and update my systems too. From what you tell me, they're looking into us pretty hard. Then I'll email or text the others."
I nodded and she left. When the door closed, Ivy turned to look at me.
"So you're convinced you'll never see that guy again?"
I sighed, I use to believe that my prince was out there, willing to save me from the dangers of the world. Now I've had no choice but to be that prince for myself, but last night someone. Had made me have hope for that prince again. It was a beautiful dream while it lasted.
"If fate had meant for us to stay together, it shouldn't have put me on this path."
"If she hadn't, you really wouldn't have met him at all."
"Whatever the case, I won't see him again. My focus has to be on my pack."
Ivy nodded and we got up and going for the day.
