Arya POV
After my shift is over, I decide to grab something to eat at a restaurant near our apartment that Collin likes as a peace offering. When I head inside to grab our order my world stops spinning. I see Collin sitting at a table with a tall blonde girl holding her hand. I want to go over and punch him in the face, but I won’t make a scene. I’m better than that. He is about to see how not nice I can be. I grab my food and head back to our apartment. I start to shove everything he owns into a garbage bag. I hear the key turning in the door and I take a deep breath. As soon as he sees me, I can see the panic on his face. “Arya what the hell are you doing, throwing me out over the job thing?” Oh no but I am throwing you out, so I hope you kept the blonde’s number. The minute what I said registers he starts to cry.
Save your tears Collin and take your stuff. “You can’t do this it wasn’t what it looked like.” Are you kidding me four years and that’s the bullsh*t you are going to try to feed me? “It’s not bullsh*t she is just a friend.” Well, I hope your friend lets you move in with her and pays all your bills have a nice life. “You are a b**ch you won’t even let me explain you have been just waiting for a reason to throw me out.” Think whatever you want but the minute you were unfaithful my give a damn for you broke. He picks up his bag “I’m going to give you some time to cool off and then we are really going to talk.” That will not be happening good luck in life Collin. Give me my key. “I will not I’ll be back.” Fine forget it I will just change the locks. I close the door and I call Melissa to come over with new locks.
Trenton POV
I head back to the city on Thursday for a business meeting and to make my final decision on my assistant. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about my mate or what I should do about her. When I reach my office Jyssica is waiting with my coffee and her normal compliment. Well, she is consistent if nothing else. After my meeting is over, I call down to human resources to make them aware I have decided to offer the position to Arya. Even if I don’t mate her, I don’t want her working at that bar where men are touching all over her. Jyssica get me Ms. Thomas’s number so I can give her a call. After a few minutes she brings me her file and I make the phone call.
Good afternoon is this, Arya Thomas. “Yes, who is this?” It’s Mr. Black from Black Inc. “Oh good afternoon Mr. Black.” Did I catch you at a bad time? “No sir I was just heading to work.” It seems early to be heading to a bar. “That is not my only job I also work at a coffee shop during the day.” Well, I won’t keep you I just wanted to call and offer you the position of my assistant. “That’s wonderful Mr. Black you won’t be sorry.” I hope you will be quitting the two jobs you currently have since I will need you a lot at the office. “I will be available to you sir, but I do have to make sure I don’t leave my current employers in the lurch.” Of course, that’s very admirable of you. “Thank you, sir.” Human resources will be in contact with you for your start date and orientation. “I look forward to their call sir.” I hang up the phone and her calling me sir definitely does something to my manhood.
One Week Later
Arya POV
Today is my first day at Black Inc and Melissa is here to help me pick out my outfit to make a good impression. “I think you should wear this pant suit with a pink camisole underneath.” Is that too sexy for the office? “You said your boss is hot and you’re on the market.” I’m not going to f**k my boss I would like to keep the job. “If you f**k him well, I’m sure he will keep you around." Get your mind out of the gutter Melissa. “Maybe you should change your necklace that pendant is pretty big.” No way my grandmother gave me this pendant and she told me never to take it off. I never take it off. “Not even to shower?” No not even to shower. “That’s weird but I guess if your grandmother gave it to you, we can make it work.” I finish getting dressed wearing the outfit Melissa suggested and I do look good.
I reach the office and head to Mr. Black’s floor. As soon as I see his secretary Jyssica, I can tell she is not going to be my friend. That’s ok I have enough friends and I’m here to do a job. She takes me to my desk which is also outside Mr. Black’s office. She shows me where everything is and then leaves me at my desk.
Trenton POV
I look out my office window and I see her sitting at her desk. My goddess this is going to be torture what the hell was I thinking. I take a deep breath and buzz her to come into my office. As soon as she walks in, I can smell her scent and I am glad I’m sitting behind my desk. Welcome Ms. Thomas I hope that Jyssica showed you around. “Yes, sir she did thank you for that.” Again, with the sir thing. I have a very important meeting tomorrow and I need you to go through my presentation and make enough copies for the ten attendees. “No problem I will take care of everything.” I hand her the file and my hand brushes her fingers. The tingles are enough to bring Ryker to the surface. Cut it out Ryker she is a human we can’t just throw her down and f**k her. “You better get our mate and make that happen or I’m going to make you miserable.” I told you she isn’t strong enough to be our Luna. “I told you the Moon Goddess doesn’t make mistakes.”
I make it through the whole day without attacking her and I rush downstairs, so I won’t have to ride the elevator with her and her scent. When I reach the outside, I see she is already down here waiting. What are you waiting for Ms. Thomas? “My uber ride” she says. I don’t want somebody she doesn’t know driving her home. Come with me Ms. Thomas I will have my driver drop you off. “That’s not necessary sir and I don’t feel comfortable taking a ride from the boss.” I’m just a gentleman offering a lady a ride right now not your boss. I can see the apprehension on her face, but I see when she decides to take me up on my offer. “Fine I’ll cancel the uber.” I open the door before my driver can and help her inside. The tingles are nothing short of amazing. Once she is seated inside, I get in next to her. We travel in comfortable silence until we reach her apartment. I get out and start to walk her up. “I appreciate the offer but that isn’t necessary Mr. Black.” My mother raised a gentleman I have to see you to your door. “Fine thank you” I can tell she isn’t happy, but she doesn’t protest anymore. We begin the ride up to her floor and I am torturing myself by being this close to her for the ride and now in the elevator. As soon as we step off, I wasn’t expecting a man to be waiting near her door this must be the boyfriend. I can feel Ryker starting to growl in my mind.
Arya POV
I don’t know why this man is affecting me so much. I did my best throughout the day to avoid being close to him. I have this feeling like I have never had in my stomach every time he is close to me. I rushed downstairs to avoid riding the elevator with him. When I saw him walk out of the building, I tried to look everywhere but at him. I could feel my anxiety rise when he insisted on taking me home. Sitting that close to him the whole ride will killing me. I finally give in because he isn’t taking no for answer. Just the same when he says he is walking me to my door. When the elevator door opens, I rush off to try to put some space between us. What the f**k Collin is waiting outside my door. Collin why are you here? “Who is this the guy you were f**king?" "Is that why you put me out?” Collin I’m not even going to respond to that since it was you that I found with another woman. Move so I can get into my apartment. “I never knew you were such a wh*re.” Before I can respond Mr. Black has him by the throat against the wall. Mr. Black its ok I put my hand on his arm. I feel sparks on my fingertips. What the hell is that? He isn’t worth you getting in trouble over. He smiles at me “if I ever hear that you bother her again, I’ll snap your f**king neck.” “Nod that you understand before I let you go.” He nods and I see Mr. Black drop him to the floor. “Now get the hell out of here before I change my mind you piece of sh*t.” Holy s**t that was hot and my panties are probably soaked right now. Thank you, sir, but I promise he is harmless. “No desperate man is harmless.” He slams his lips down on mine and I can’t believe he is kissing me. At first, I want to push him away, but I can’t even stop the best kiss I have ever had. He breaks the kiss, and I am panting.
