CHAPTER 26: CHAPTER 26 SEXUAL TENSION

Caroline’s POV

I heard Draven calling and turned around, thinking he was going to give me more work.

"Yes, Alpha Draven?"

"Close the door, please, and come here."

I closed the door, went back, and stood in front of him. He was sitting on that same couch that reminded me of dirty, sinful things I didn’t want to remember.

Draven looked vulnerable, his elbows resting on his knees and his head bowed. My wolf Rory stirred inside me, urging me to comfort him, to run my hands through his hair and tell him everything would be okay, but I resisted the impulse.

Every time he touched me, my reason slipped away. His simplest touch set my skin on fire, making my body crave more. The effect he had on me was unlike anything I’d ever experienced, even with my ex-mate Marcus. This intense attraction confused me... was this what finding your true mate felt like? But the cruel reality of being a scentless wolf haunted me. Without a scent, how could I ever be sure? How could he recognize me as his mate when he couldn’t sense me like other wolves could?

He stood up in front of me and pulled me by the waist into his embrace. It was calm, gentle, and affectionate. It was different from all the interactions we’d had until now, but at the same time, it was a familiar sensation that warmed my heart.

I felt him place a warm kiss on my right shoulder before speaking in my ear, his breath sending waves of heat through my body.

"I don’t know where all this is going..."

I thought he was talking about the audit, so I wanted to calm him down. I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my hand through his hair.

"Calm down, Draven, you’ll see everything will be alright."

He sighed deeply, began tracing a trail of kisses along my shoulders, moving up my neck. When he reached the tip of my ear, he gave it a light bite and sucked, releasing it and placing another kiss there, continuing with his kisses until he reached my mouth.

What started as a soft kiss quickly turned wild. He shoved his tongue into my mouth, kissing me like he needed to taste every inch of me. I moaned into him, my body melting under his touch.

He growled low in his throat and flipped us over, pushing me down onto the couch. His body pinned me in place, hot and heavy on top of me.

I felt his dick brush against my pussy, which was already wet and yearning for him. Draven’s hands roamed up my sides until they cupped my breasts. My nipples were hard, straining against the fabric.

His violet eyes glinted wild and hungry. He ground his hips into me, letting me feel just how hard he was, while his mouth trailed down to my breast, licking and sucking until I was writhing.

In a quick movement that displayed his Alpha strength, he changed our position, sitting on the couch and placing me on his lap, pulling me down as if trying to merge us together and rubbing his hard, huge cock against me, making me close my eyes and moan while he moved.

"Oh, Carrie, what am I going to do with you driving me crazy?" he whispered.

He returned to kissing my neck and undid the first button of my shirt, placing a kiss there, doing the same with each button he opened. My shirt was open, my hair disheveled, and I was supporting myself with my hands on his shoulders. He kissed me again and slid his hands to my back, undoing my bra and freeing my breasts. He looked at me with fire in his eyes and smiled mischievously, taking my left breast in his mouth while his hand caressed the right one. He sucked, licked, kissed my breast, and gave my nipple a gentle bite.

I moaned again, feeling an electric current running straight to my legs as my wetness increased. He moved to the other breast and began sucking it as if he were feasting on the most succulent and sweet fruit. I grabbed his hair and pressed my breast against him, begging for more, while he licked one nipple and pinched the other with his hand.

Completely lost in sensation, I felt him pull me against his chest and quickly throw his jacket, which had been resting on the couch, over my back just as I heard Ryan speak through the door,

"Draven, let’s have dinner at... Holy shit! I’m leaving, I’m leaving!"

I heard the door slam and was completely mortified and frozen in place when Draven burst out laughing. I stared at him in disbelief. Had he gone crazy, laughing at this embarrassing situation? He noticed my discomfort and stroked my face, his touch soothing both me and my agitated wolf.

"Honey, it’s not like Ryan doesn’t know what’s going on, right?! Relax, he didn’t see anything. When I heard the door open, I covered you. A werewolf’s senses are good, but even he can’t see through fabric."

He gave me another quick kiss and sat me down on the couch. I was buried in my shame. Ryan had seen more than he needed to, and I dreaded facing him tomorrow.

"I’ll go see what Ryan wants," he said and stood up, heading toward the door without concern for the massive erection straining against his pants.

He left the office, closing the door, and I took the opportunity to quickly get dressed and leave. When I got to my desk, I heard my phone ring and saw a message from the babysitter,

"Caroline, when I picked Liam up from daycare, I noticed he was feverish. I’ve already given him fever medicine and he’s sleeping now, seems like he might be coming down with a cold. I thought you should know."

"Our pup is sick!" Rory snarled inside me. "We need to leave NOW."

I quickly gathered my things and turned off the computer. Just as I grabbed my purse, Alpha Draven walked in.

When he saw me, his smile faded, and he asked, "Where do you think you’re going? We have unfinished business."

"Draven, I’m sorry, but I need to go. There’s an emergency at home."

Seeing the concern in my eyes, his expression softened immediately.

"Just a minute, I’ll drive you. You’ll get there faster that way."

He went into his office and came back wearing his suit jacket, the scent of cedarwood and musk wafting around him.

"Let’s go, Caroline," he said, his hand finding the small of my back as he guided me toward the elevator.
