Unmasked
Cleopatra's POV
My blood ran cold and my heart pounded like war drums. Did Renee see Theo leave? Did she hear our conversation? Will she tell Alpha Williams?
These thoughts swirled through my head as I watched Renee gently make her way towards me like a predator that is approaching a prey.
She looked at me skeptically with narrowed eyes. “Well, if it ain't our little Miss spitfire. Care to explain?” she asked.
Her voice didn't come out as one that really needed my explanation but one that wanted to sell me out immediately.
How do I get her off my back?
“And what are you even wearing?” she asked, examining me like I'm some circus clown.
This time, I moved closer to her, careful not to let her see my fear.
“You could say it's a little cosplay for a freaky night with your Alpha. Do you want to hear all the tiny nasty details?” I teased, hoping she would buy it.
She scoffed. “Cosplay, huh? You think I'm gonna fall for that cheap act? You better drop it and start talking!” she barked, the sense of urgency in her voice causing me to fidget a bit.
I'll have to come clean.
I forced a laugh, trying to mask the growing panic. “I just needed to talk to the Alpha but he's with someone so…I decided to go wait in my room and check later. What is it to you anyway?” I retorted, with a defiant gaze.
“Does that explain why you're dressed like a thief?” she asked suspiciously, her eyes flickering all over my body.
“I guess it's my body and my choice right?” I replied, meeting her gaze squarely. I can't let her see through me.
As soon as the words left my mouth, the heavy door to Alpha Williams office creaked loud enough to announce that he's leaving his office.
A bile rose in my throat. He shouldn't see me dressed like this.
“And where the hell do you think you're going?” Renée barked as I turned to head towards my room.
“Do you have a problem with me retiring to my room?” I asked her sarcastically.
Alpha Williams's footsteps drew closer, every step echoing in my head. Just then, his imposing figure filled the hallway, his stern and confused gaze sweeping over both Renee and I.
What the actual fuck!
The hallway seemed to seize in time as his piercing eyes trailed all over my body like he was peeling the outfit off, layer after layer.
“Why is she here?” Sarah asked in a shrill voice. Her eyes held no kindness for me, neither did mine hold any for her.
“Renee?” Alpha Williams called, totally ignoring Sarah's outburst, “Show her to a room she can stay in for tonight.” He turned towards Sarah, “Make sure you leave my pack before sunrise.” His voice was cold and clear.
“Alpha, she's definitely hiding something, I saw her…”
He raised his hands, silencing Renee. “Get her settled in and come to my office,” he ordered.
Williams marched out towards his office, not sparing a word to me. I soon turned around to head to the direction of my room when his voice cut through the silence.
“Why aren't you following me?” he growled, “Do I need to drag you by the hair? Don't test my patience, Cleopatra.”
“And why do I need to follow you?” I blurted out confidently, without thinking things through.
Within seconds, he was pressed against me, his breath hot on my neck as he leaned in to whisper. The hallway was clear now, the sound of our breathing echoing throughout the corners.
“Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right on the spot.” He growled, his voice a low rumble that made the hair on my neck stand and my insides recoil.
But why am I suddenly excited?
“Would you kill me with a sword or your sword?” I teased, seductively pressing closer. I linked my hands around his neck and muttered into his ears, “Tell me Alpha, what would you rather do?”
As if scorched by fire, Williams dragged me to his office. I stumbled a few times trying to match his strides.
“What are you doing in my hallway by this time, dressed like a thief?” he demanded, walking away from me, towards his desk.
I clicked the door shut and a little smile played on my lips.
Maybe it won't hurt so bad to have a little fun before we get down to business.
I slowly walked up to him and pushed him down to his seat. He tried getting up and I pinned him down, sitting on top of him and cradling him with my legs.
“Get off me Cleopatra,” he growled hesitantly and I smiled.
“Do you really want me to get off? I asked, slowly taking my clothes off.
He groaned. He can't say no, can he?
I took his hand and guided it up to my breast, grinding it softly. His eyes were darkened with lust and he wasted no time to take my nipple into his mouth like a starved wolf.
I moaned softly, pulling at his hair, my lips hot on his neck.
He pulled away from my nipple and captured my lips roughly, causing goosebumps to spread all over my body.
I tugged at his pants and within seconds they were off. I slowly guided him into me, gasping softly at the thrust.
I threw my head back as he drove into me. Every thrust, faster than the previous.
He collapsed on my neck as he released and I sighed softly, cradling his head like he was a child.
A small smile played on my lips. The feeling of getting him whenever I want filled my head.
He was still buried inside me. I made to pull away but he dragged me back, causing a soft moan to escape my lips. He was still hard!
He looked at me and something flickered in his eyes. Fear.
But why?
He quickly masked it with a distant look. But I saw it. Is he Afraid of me? I wondered.
The knock on the door had our heads turning towards the direction in sync.
I quickly got dressed, still feeling giddy because of the Sex we just had.
The knock came again, this time followed by a rapt urgency.
I smiled, imagining the look on Renee's face when she walks in. I know she would be able to sniff out what we just did.
“Let this be the last time I ever get to see your naked body,” Williams growled all of a sudden, breaking my satisfied smirk, his voice filled with a sharp resolve that made me flinch.
Does this have anything to do with the fear I caught in his eyes?
