"Can we go to your office now?" My words are slow, making sure they make their way past the thick haze of anger in his thoughts. His eyes lightened and he exhaled, his hand pulling mine as we continued back to his office. We were walking at a faster pace now, my feet just managing to keep up with his large steps. Risking another glance back at Reynolds and Cole, I meet the both of their concentrated gazes. Getting to his office he doesn't miss a step in pulling me inside and slamming the door closed behind us. I didn't have time to register what was happening because his arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me up to his chest. One of his arms was wrapped around my waist, his hand on my thigh as he pushed my leg to wrap around his strong waist. His other was clenched into my hair pushing my head forward so I was forced to meet the soft movement of his lips against mine. My scalp stung a little but it was coursing a pulse to run down between my legs and was in no way a worry to me. Moving my own lips against his I raise my own hands to pull at his hair, pull him back away from me. "Ryder," my voice catches in my throat and Ryder shakes a little at the sound. "The guards are outside. Ryder shakes his head and walks behind his desk, pushing his papers out of the way before he drops me down onto the rich wooden desk. "My office is sound proof." His hands move to the hem of my shirt as he speaks. "I don't know how I forget about it. It's for privacy in meetings but I've recently realised I can have my way with you whenever I want now." "Whenever you want?" Swatting away his hands when he tries to pull at the button of my jeans, he looks defeated but I quickly grab at his shirt and remove it from his taunt and muscled body. A soft smile covers his face, his hazel eyes returning as he runs a soft finger down over my chest and stomach, tracing the line of my hips before he moves it back up again. Goosebumps were left after the trail of his fingers. "Are you okay after that?" His fingers still trailed across my body, my legs around his waist quivering. "I'm fine. Why did you tell him not see me?" I didn't really want to distract from what was about to happen, I wanted to know what was running through his mind. "And risk him drugging you again. I don't think so." His hands are back on my hips now, pulling me into his. "Can we not talk about him when we're about to mate." I meet his lips as they press back to mine. Keeping my eyes open and on him, I watch to see that he really is ok and we're not about to mate just because he was annoyed with his father. When I noticed that his kiss and touch was completely concentrated on me, his thoughts open, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling of having him against me. Ryder had planned this from the moment he had asked me to come with him to his office. If he wasn't going to let me read he better let me take some books back up to our suite later. Ryder chuckled and shook his head a little at my thoughts, but quickly managed to distract me as he popped the button on my jeans and pulled them off me. "You're not still sore." He hesitated. It took him a lot of strength but he resisted his urge to mate with me. Moving to his own pants, I slowly pull the zip down, leaning in close to him I look up at him beneath my eyelashes with what I hope is a sultry look. His eyes quickly darkened. "I wouldn't be doing this to you Ry if I was still sore." Ryder was doing a very good job at distracting me, bringing out an assortment of moans and whimpers as he pleasured me in a way only he knew how. The closer Ryder got to finishing, already having bought me to my end twice, I was hit with the possibility of what could happen. I hadn't been on my birth control in nearly a week and the prenatal vitamins seemed to be working through my body. By the end of this there was a possibility that I'd be a mother soon. Once I was dressed again Ryder let me stay in his office and read one of the new books he had gotten. I had sprawled myself across the seat in front of his desk and every now and then I would feel his hot and heavy gaze move to me and every time it did my cheeks heated. Two hours later he had gotten a call that the alphas were back for another meeting and he had to attend. He gave me a quick kiss before he sent me back up to the suite with my guards. Reynolds was smirking from a step behind me. "Shut up." I felt my cheeks redden again and Reynolds just chuckled further. Reynolds stepped in front of me when we got to the fourth floor and Alex was standing in front of us again. Reynolds went to speak but Alex held up his hand dismissing his words. Reynolds was out ranked. "I have no intent to hurt me daughter in law. I just wish to speak with her about something important." Alex's eyes were on me as he spoke, even as Reynolds tried to push me further behind his back and out of his sight. "It's ok Reynolds." Ghosting my hand over Reynolds arm, I push out from behind him. Reynolds continues to glare at Alexander as he spoke but his words were directed to me. "Ryder's has given him an order to stay away from you Lottie. He might be able to defy it but my job is to protect you." "As much as I don't like him Reynolds, I trust that he won't harm me. I'm his son's mate. He's smarter than that." Alexander tilted his head at my almost insult and a grin creeped onto his lips. "Talk," Reynolds didn't look happy but he didn't want to cross me. "Alone." Alex and I say at once.
