10. Erics Kiss

Eric woke up from his nightmare again. Nothing new. It made the Alpha want to scream. When will it end? He was tired of waking up with sweat covered over his body and heart-pounding at an insane speed. The sound of his blood rushing through his veins was loud enough to make his ears twitch.

The Alpha slumped back, a tired sigh slipping out of his lips as soon as he noticed the clock by his bedside. Eric was aware that he had to be in his office in an hour. His body felt lethargic, arms and legs stiff. With his lips pressed together, he pulled his hair and let out a growl, his sharp canines pressing against the skin of his mouth.

He didn’t care if they dug in too deep. The Alpha just wanted to yell.

After good ten minute, he rolled his limp body out of the white linen of his bed and trudged to the attached bathroom in a depressing matter. He opened the spray to semi-cold, hoping that the temperature of the water would be enough to wake him up. It looked ready to jet at his flushed skin as he peeled off his boxers and tossed it into the hamper.

He stepped under the spray, letting his head fall back and closing his eyes as his hands wandered around his body to scrub his stomach. Million different thoughts started running through his mind, but all of them ceased to stop as soon as he thought about Alyssa.

Eric felt his Alpha let out a snarl of want. That was new. He had never experienced that sort of instant attraction with someone. Many omegas tried to entice him by flashing their skin and hypnotising him with their seductive ploys. However, his assistant was different. She tried to be unique than all those omegas who openly admitted their attraction. That did not help his situation.

The Alpha couldn’t help but remember the lunch on the previous day. Her outfit almost made him want to claim her right there and then! What was JJ thinking making it so skin tight and see-through? Eric tried to hide his face behind the menu for the first few minutes in hopes that he won’t get caught for openly gawking at her.

To add more to his torture, the omega was sitting in front of him, moving around a lot in her chair and tugging at her shirt. The Alpha couldn’t help but admire the way that seam touched her chest, with each pull she was only making it difficult for her silky skin. By the end of the day, Eric was sure that her movements likely made her skin chafe a little.

He tried not to stare at her, even though it was the most challenging thing he had to do. How can you have self-control when she’s sitting right in front of him looking every bit of his wet dream?

Also, the fact that she got him so good made his cock twitch. He loved a good challenge. It surprised him that the omega could speak so fluently in French. Usually, omegas from the villages are not given enough education, which is why he had doubts when his friends hired her. Somehow she was proving herself every day, and for that, the Alpha felt a little lost and annoyed at the same time. He was never wrong about the sort of things, but there is a first time for everything.

The water dripped down his body as he stared at the white tiles in front of him. Shaking his head, he tried to focus on the task at hand rather than his tempting assistant.

He used his fingers to get rid of the water on his face before he leaned forward to scrub his entire body over with soap.

The Alpha decided to wash his hair as well after cleaning the rest of his body, watching as the water splashed over his soapy skin. With steam all over the shower area, he stepped out, wiping the mirror and wondered how his body would have looked without tattoos marring his skin. He should’ve thought about it sooner. Not that he regretted any tattoos but just a thought.

The pack tattoo of all inked proudly on his chest stared back at him. He ran a hand over the symbol, feeling guilt crawl in his stomach.

No. He shook his head. The Alpha was no interested in starting his day by reliving the memories of his life. That won’t do him any good. With that thought, he stepped out of the washroom and took his time to dry up.

Its Saturday and most of them won’t be in the office because BEFORE grants weekends off. However, he had last-minute work, so he called his business partner and his assistant.


Eric frowned. It had been two days since he gave Alyssa the pile of work that would take an average man three days to complete. He thought she would be done by an evening just to prove him wrong, but he did not receive any papers yet. Then again, he did not show up to the office at all yesterday. Maybe that’s why. It still didn’t excuse her, so he buzzed the intercom.

Alyssa entered the room, holding the files as if she knew the purpose of his call. His nose flared at that.

With a nervous smile on her face, she handed him the giant pile of papers, wholly organised and edited to the point of perfection.

Her cerulean blue eyes had a twinkle as she stood in front of him.

What the hell? She was supposed to have it incomplete! How did she manage to do it? Also, she had a steaming cup of coffee ready for him in the morning.

At his silence, she smirked. “Anything else I can do, Mr Bellini?"

That damn brat! Eric snarled. There was no way he was going to let her outsmart him!

“Tell me, Ms Rivers. When were you supposed to hand these in?” She blinked, her face fell, and the omega twisted her mouth.

“Uhh...two days ago.”

“Exactly” Eric glared at her. She didn't even flinch. “Now you wanted a challenge, and I gave you one, but it seems like you failed. Two days late. That was not what I asked.”

Her mouth dropped open as soon as his words echoed. “Excuse me? I was done with my work on the same day you gave me. It’s not my problem that you couldn’t wait a little longer.”

“That's one strike against you,” Eric airily said, leaning back in his chair. “Consider yourself lucky Miss Rivers that I'm so considerate today.”

Alyssa narrowed her eyes at him, a bitter laugh slipping out of her. “Lucky?! I said I was already done with the work just like you wanted. You can't put a strike against me.”

Why did she not agree with him? Eric glared at her.

“I can and will.”

If it were anyone else in her position, they would have tucked their tail in between their legs and ran away. But not Alyssa. She wanted to face him.

“You will not complain.”

“Why not?!” The omega raised his voice, stomping over to him. “I did a good job, so why am I being punished for that?”

“Are you arguing with your boss, Ms Rivers?” Eric let out a laugh. “I could have you fired!”

“I don’t think so because then I'd win.”

Eric frowned, narrowing his eyes. “What?”

Alyssa sweetly smiled. “I finished those papers and won the challenge. You firing me is just you admitting you don't want to lose. That you can't handle failure.”

Eric let out growled, grabbing her wrists and pinning her against the wall. She barely flinched, her eyelashes kissing her cheeks. The Alpha breathed harshly.

“Care to repeat that, Miss Rivers?”

They were standing face to face, barely an inch of space between them. From up close, he could hear her sharp intake of breath.

The omega didn't back down. “I said I won, Mr Bellini. And you can't handle it. Who knew the great Eric Bellini was such a-”

Before Alyssa could complete her sentence, Eric pulled her closer and slammed his lips against the smaller omega. Her eyes flew wide. The omega completely stilled against him, her body pliant and sagging in his arm. For a few seconds, she didn't kiss back.

He bit down on her bottom lip harshly, making the omega gasp. Eric slid his tongue over her swollen lip before sliding his tongue inside her mouth. Desire coiled in his stomach and his fingers dug in the expanse of her delicate waist. The Alpha wanted to ravage her all over. The thought made his cock twitch in his pants. He smirked into the kiss as he heard her hiss in pain.

As he tried to pull away, the omega whined and deepened their kiss.

Using his knee, the Alpha parted her legs and slid his leg in between her. She was now locked in his embrace without nowhere to escape.
