His Desire
Williams's POV
Seeing her on his laps stirred up something in me. The need to draw a line, even though she's not my mate.
The way her hair fell all over her shoulders made me shiver. Memories of her touch, her lips and her hot breath against my neck clouded my mind. The need to have her closer to me overcame my reasoning.
I saw her fighting to disobey me but it didn't work. How could it work?
I eased up a bit when she sat quietly on my laps, her exposed laps brushing against mine. I slipped a hand under her gown and growled when I saw her reaction.
“Now, why are you really here,” I asked, directing my question to the scrawny looking man while still keeping my eyes on her. I loved the way she bit down on her lips, trying to stifle a moan.
“Well, the council sent me to present the deal and complete the negotiation. The road has to cut across your territory in order for the project to be completed. So I was…”
His voice sounded distant, like he was fading away. The only thing clear to me was the way Cleopatra's blue eyes flashed with her needs. I could stare into those eyes all day and not get bored.
She arched her back and pinned her legs together as my fingers searched deeper into her.
“Open it,” I whispered into her ears, satisfied with how she shuddered and quietly spread her legs open.
“Are you even listening?” Theo’s voice rang out, jerking both of us out of bliss. I could just snap his neck and tell the council he fell. That would be a wrong decision.
I know my enemies keep growing, day by day. I've heard the rumors whispered among the other packs, about how ruthless and wicked I am. It didn't even bother me, unlike the one that says I killed my mate.
I literally worshiped the ground Elena worked on. Literally!!
The loud bang on the table yanked me out of my thoughts as I looked over at Theo, then at Cleopatra. I slowly pulled my fingers away, a sweet shudder escaping her lungs.
“Make that sound one more time and I'll make you regret ever stepping your foot on my land,” I dared him, watching him cower in fear like a rat.
“Tell the council that I don't agree to the negotiation. If they so fucking want a goddam road, they can cut across theirs and make it happen. Tell them to count my pack and territory out of it,” I said coldly.
I know they don't mean well for my pack so there is no way I'll make my territory open to them. Never!!
“But I'm not done. You didn't hear about what they have to offer in return,” he said, the dark smile playing on his lips pissing me off.
Cleopatra got up to sit on her own but I pulled her back down, her ass landing on my hard dick. I noticed her flinch at impact and groaned.
I need her alone. In a room. Naked.
That would make me feel so much better. It's been a tough week, fighting off rogues and trying to protect my pack. Not to mention Sarah's betrayal. Just the thought of her name made a bile rise in my throat. And to think that I would have made her my luna?
More reason to trust Cleopatra, right? I mean… She led me to them. Is that how I really feel or is it just my attraction to her body talking?
“What do they have to offer in return,” I asked sarcastically, showing my disinterest in whatever he had to say.
He smiled. The type that could send eerie chills down your spine.
The door opened and Renee dragged in one of the boys that work in the pack house. Tears were streaming down his face and his cheeks red like he had been slapped thousands of times already.
Renee's handiwork.
“What's going on here?” I asked with concern. Was he caught stealing?
“I'm sorry Alpha, but this couldn't wait. This was the rat they planted here all along,” she rasped, anger laced in her voice.
“What do you mean by that?” I asked, dragging Cleopatra up as I stood to take in the whole scene.
“A maid overheard him talking about the secret parcel I was supposed to pick up. He was giving away the details so they would get to it first before me.”
Cleopatra moved away from my grasp and sat down, munching a snack quietly, her eyes glued to her food.
“He was also the one that left the back door open the night Cleopatra was kidnapped,” she added and swallowed hard, a glint of remorse in her eyes as she looked at Cleopatra.
She never believed that Cleopatra was innocent and didn't have a hand in what happened.
It must have hurt her pride to accept that she was wrong.
“Are all these true?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at the spy, “Who are you working for?” I thundered, my fists clenched. I was barely holding myself back from striking him dead on the spot.
I hate betrayers.
His lips quivered as he tried to answer, his voice coming out shallow and strained.
“Speak up,” I growled in my Alpha voice, irritated at the sight of him and the smell of betrayal.
“I.. I.. don't know, Alpha Williams. I just have a number that calls me for information. I've never seen their faces nor do I know who they are. Please Alpha, you have to believe me, I did it for my younger sister. They have her,” he pleaded.
“Get him out of my sight and lock him up. Get to the location ahead so you can catch however it is, he's working for.”
“Yes Alpha,” Renee bowed and dragged the boy out of the room, kicking and pleading.
Now where were we? My eyes settled on Cleopatra as she absentmindedly munched her snacks.
“Sorry about that Mr…, sorry. What is your name again,” I asked, raking a frustrated hand through my disheveled hair.
“Theo. It's Theo, sir.”
“What were you saying Theo?”
“I said you would reconsider if you hear what we are offering in return among other things but this is the cherry on the cake,” he said, rubbing his hands together like a maniac.
“And what's that,” I said, staring intently at Cleopatra, her steady composure, making me excited.
“You're staring right at the offer!” he chimed, causing both Cleopatra and I to turn sharply at him.
“What?!!”
