Beauty and the Wolf (13 page)

* * * * *

“Did you hear something?”
Jake turned from the window
.

Both men stopped talking and listened carefully.

“No,” Robert shook his head.

Jake frowned. He would have sworn he heard someone in his outer office. Not Mary Ann, she was in the conference room preparing for the
next
meeting.

He had sudden feeling something was wrong. He
headed out of his office
.
A file folder lay on the floor near Mary Ann’s desk.
He bent to pick it up. It was the inform
ation from legal he’d requested and it smelled of Sophie.

The sound he’d heard had been her bringing the file to him. R
ight about the time
he’d made that comment about
not wanting
her as a mate.

“Fuck, fuck
,
fuck.”

He strode out the door, heading for the stairwell. Running at wolf speed, he
raced to the lobby. He heard his father right behind him. No doubt he’d smelled Sophie too. He’d smelled her fear and agitation.

A group was gathered around the security desk encircling a woman and a man. His woman and one of his pack.

“Let me go.”

“If you don’t calm down lady, I’ll have to restrain you.”

Jake growled and all heads toward his way. The bodies parted, the pack moving the humans out of the way to allow their alpha to pass.

“Touch her, boy, and die.”

The security guard stepped back quickly. “I was just trying to prevent her from leaving sir. She seems upset.”

“No shit,” he drawled. Sophie stood in the middle of the crowd, her hair in wild disarray around her shoulders. No doubt it had been a neat little bun earlier that day. Her beautiful breasts
were heaving beneath the silky fabric of
her shirt. A shirt that was fairly translucent. He frowned.
What did she think she was doing dressing like that?
He’d deal with that later.

“Someone want to tell me what the fuck is going on?”

For a second there was complete silence then everyone started to talk at once. Everyone but Sophie. She stood with her head bowed, her hands clasped together as she always did when she was worried or scared. She damn well better be scared.
What had she thought she was doing, running away from him? If they had issue
s
they need
ed
to talk them out. Not run at the first sign of trouble. That would be the first lesson she learned today.

“Enough.”
He held up a hand and everyone stopped talking. Apparently an intern had
encountered
a crying Sophie in the elevator and took her to the security who
had
prevented her from leaving.
Even though he’d almost torn the man’s
hand off for daring to touch h
i
s mate, he’d have to give the guard
a r
a
ise.
The intern as well.
“Get in the elevator Sophie, we’ll talk upstairs.”

“No.” Her chin set in that
stubborn little
tilt
he found so adorable
. The fierce expression was ruined a
second later by the trembling of
her rich, red lips.

He stepped
in front of
her. “Get in the elevator, Sophie.”

“No.”

“Fine.” He grinned and swept her up in his arms.

“Everyone back to work,” he ordered as he carried her to bank of elevator
s
.
“Dad would you get the elevator
, please
?”

The elevator
dinged and Jake stepped inside. His fa
ther followed,
pressing the top floor button.

“Can you cover the meeting?”

“Sure son.”

The
y
spent several moments
going over important points that needed be addressed. The doors opened and his father walked out first. At Jake’s office he held open the door. Mary Ann jumped up from her chair. “What happened? Is Sophie okay?”

“She’s just fine,” his dad reassured his secretary.

“She will be once I spank her ass,” Jake said.

“Jake!”
Both women gasped
.
The men just laughed.

“The other door, Dad?”

“Sure thing, son.” The man was grinning from ear to ear. Jake didn’t need to tell him to close the door. It clicked shut behind them.

Mary Ann looked at Robert as he closed her boss’
s
door. “What was that all about?”

“Sophie tried to run away from her mate.”

“Mate?”

“There are some things I need to tell you, Mary Ann. Let’s go out for dinner after the meeting.” The older wolf took the woman’s arm and walked her out the door, making sure the lights were off
and
the door was locked. He was sure his son didn’t want to be disturbed for quite some time.

When the door clicked shut behind him,
Jake
lowered his delightful burden to the floor. She immediately spun a
way, retreating from him and putting the width of the office between them.

He leaned back against the door. She was so damn beautiful it made his heart ache. And his dick hard. He r
ubbed himself through his pants, remembering the feel of her cunt around his cock.

He took of
f
his suit jacke
t
and
flung it to the floor. “You want to tell me what you thought you were doing, Sophie?”

“No.”

She’d backed herself up against his desk. Perfect. She was about to
get her ass spanked and then
fucked.
Her cunt, her mouth, and maybe even her ass after he blistered it a dark shade of red.
What better place than across his desk?

He pulled the knot from his tie and jerked it from his neck. It joined his jacket on the floor.

“I’ll tell you w
hat
I think you were doing, you were running away.”

“I wasn’t running. I was walking.
Until that man stopped me.
”

He slowly unbutton
ed
his white dress shirt letting it hang open to the waist.

“Away. From. Me.”

Her stubborn little chin came up again.

“So?”

“So you never
run away from a wolf, sweetheart. It just makes us want to chase you.” He grinned
,
showing his even white teeth. And the canines that had lengthened.
He would definitely be marking his mate again.

Last night they’d talked. He’d told her all he knew about his
heritage
. He’d explained his positi
on in the pack and what being the
alpha meant. He’d also told her about mates and mating. He hadn’t
actually
asked her to be his mate,
just stated that she was
.

“Easy baby, I’m not going to hurt you. Much.”

Another step, another slow sexy grin.

She wondered wildly if s
he could make it past him and out
the door.

“Not gonna a
happen. Just take your punishment
like a good girl.”

Damn, could the man read
her mind? She studied his face. He was angry, that was a given. She also sensed hurt and a great deal of worry.

“What the hell do you think you were doing,
Sophie?
If my man hadn’t stopped you, you
could
have gotten hurt.”

“So?”

“
So you are never, ever to do that again. If you have a problem with me, talk to me. Don’t run away. Or I will come after you and I will punish you, just like now.”

He jerked her to him, gripping the back of her neck. His mouth slammed down on hers.
The kiss was hard, savage
. Definitely domina
nt and dominating
. Damn, Sophie thought, this was hot.

Her hands reached up to grip the collar of his open shirt.

He reached behind her and swept the files and folders from his desk. “Down,” he growled. He gently turned her around and pushed her facedown on his desk.

“Jake!” she squeaked.

“Oh, I so
love it when you say my name. I love it even more when you scream it as you come. And, baby, I’m about to make you come like never before.
”

He held
her by the neck
preventing her from twisting away. With the other he raised her skirt. It was a made of gauzy material that was easily flipped up over her back. “Dear God woman, your ass is magnificent.”

Sophie cringed in
embarrassment
. No one had
ever
see
n
he
r butt this way
. Never.
She’d never allowed a man to take her from behind even though she’d always wanted to.
Thank heavens she wasn’t wearing her granny panties. She’d dress
ed
in a matching boy briefs and bra, anticipating the evening she hoped to have with Jake. They were a royal blue and she knew the
y
looked good with her skin tone.
She’d worn three inch heels and also
knew
they made her legs look sexy as hell.
She’d spent a good portion of her morning
examining
herself in the mirror, trying to see what Jake had seen in her. She knew he’d liked what he sa
w, they’d made love deep into
the morning hours. In
fact, she was sore today
and it felt good.

Wait, that had been a pack of lies. He’d told his father he didn’t want her as a mate.

Whack.

The palm of Jake’
s hand landed on her left cheek.

Whack, whack, whack. He bent to whisp
er in her ear. “You look so goddamn hot right now
all I want to do is shove my cock inside
you and fuck you
as hard as I can
.
Then feed my cock into that sassy little mouth and make you suck me dry. Did I ever tell you about the fantasy I had that first day in my office? It involved the shower and you on your knees.
”

Again and again his hand made contact with her butt, alternating between the two halves.

Sophie bit her lip trying not to cry out. He wasn’t causing severe pain, but he was making himself known to her backside. He was also arousing her. That’s what kept her quiet.

Jake s
topped the spanking. He still held her to t
he desk. She couldn’t see what he was doing, but she heard the rustle of clothing. She felt c
ool air on her heated backside as he pulled down her underwear.
“What are you doing Jake? Haven’t you done enough?” She let just a hint of pain enter her voice. She wanted sympathy damn it.
“You were the one who said yo
u didn’t want me as a mate.
”

Jake stopped for a moment then went on with
whatever it was he was doing.

The next thing Sophie felt was the warmth of his body covering hers. He’d been getting naked is what he’d been doing. The hair on his thighs brushed hers as
he settled his dick in he cleft of
her buttocks. His nipples
scrapped
her back and she felt them tighten in response. She thought only women loved rubbing their nipples against something.
Apparently
not. He surrounded her with his body, his folded arms embracing her.

“You heard me and my father, didn’t you?”

Sophie sighed
and
rested her check against the smooth
finish
of his desk. She closed her eyes. “Yes.”

“So far I’ve scared you, apparently rejected you and now spanked you in my office. I guess you don’t like this room right now do you?”

She tried to throw
him a glare over her shoulder. No way was she telling him the spanking hadn’t been so bad. Who knew she’d like that?

“Let’s see if I
can give you a better memory.”
He pulled back slightly
then pushed forward. His cock nudged the entrance of her pussy. He rocked back and forth, easing himself inside. Her legs were together, making his entrance difficult.

“Relax baby, le
t me in.” He nibbled on her ear, kissing the soft tender skin below. He licked her neck, blowing on the wetness. Shivers reached down here spine.
Her pussy flooded and spasmed.
He was about to take her from behind,
about to make
one of her greatest
sexual fantasies come true.
