Chapter 16 (Crazy or nuts?)
***Laura’s POV***
As soon as I open the door it hit me, it was the intoxicating scent of my mystery dream guy. This is impossible, I really have to do something about these dreams I have been having. They are starting to invade my waking life.
The room was all the same as the door a deep mahogany wood was the theme, it was very masculine in design, I looked around the room trying to find where Mr. Jenson was located, he wasn’t behind his big old world looking desk.
Taking a few steps into the room, I heard the door shut behind me and the distinctive click of the lock falling into place. Turning around in my alarm; I find myself face first into a wide very male chest.
His scent is so familiar that I feel my legs getting weak, I steadied my self no way was I going to come across as a ninny on my first meeting with my boss. What the hell is wrong with me? Perhaps I am going crazy after all.
I feel his hands on each side of my shoulders and sparks run through my body like lightening strikes, my knees buckled that time as the room started to spin out of control. My last thought as I looked into his blue eyes, was omg he is real.
I woke up on a black leather couch, I was warm and comfortable. Where am I? not realizing that I had asked the question out loud.
*“You are on my couch.”*
I froze it was that voice again, low and sexy with a confidence of strength. Oh, God he is going to think I am a nut case. I try to sit up but a hand gently pushes me back down, I open my eyes and there he was the complete package, the man in my dreams. How though, I have never met Mr. Jenson before this day?
Feeling like an idiot; I just stared at his handsome face completely speechless. He smiled and let out a low chuckle.
*“I don’t think you are crazy, so don’t worry, you still have a job here at the hospital.”*
*“I have to admit I didn’t think this is how our first meeting would have taken place, but that is the way of life. Expect the unexpected.”*
*“How are you feeling?*”
Unsure of what to say or think, I decided to just play along for now and hopefully I can get out of here quickly and regroup.
*“I am feeling much better now, I truly do not know what had come over me. I am sorry if I did anything embarrassing. Please I am doing alright now, I think it is best that I go back to my floor and continue on with my shift.”*
*“I have already spoken with your supervisor; you have the rest of today off.”*
*“No! Please I can’t do that. My patients need me, I can’t leave little Robin all alone not with what he is going through.”*
*“Robin will get all the care he needs and more, I can assure that he is going to well cared for.”*
*“You do not understand, he is mine. I am going to adopt him; I have already filled the paperwork. He deserves so much more than life has been giving him. I want to make sure he gets a full and happy life.”*
Aiden Jenson stared at me with a look I didn’t know how to interpret, I looked like wonder and horror all at the same time. My heart sank then and there, so he isn’t my dream guy after all, not if he is repulsed by me adopting Robin, perhaps he is one of those rich guys who deem ordinary people as beneath them. I have had enough of those types in my life.
He got up and went to the little bar that was in the corner of the office, as he did I got up and ran for the door, unlocking it and running for the elevator to take me back to my floor, I needed to check on Robin make sure he was ok, I know Susan said it was all ok but I needed to see him for myself.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Mr. Jenson very gracefully shot through them just in time. He pushed the stop button and we were alone together in the elevator.
*“What did I say or do that made you give me that look of revulsion just before you bolted from my office, as if you were on fire?”*
He pulled me into his embrace I was too shocked to say anything, the sparks were there again and his scent relaxed me. I didn’t embrace him back, just stood there taking in his warmth and strength.
*“I wanted to go slow with you, chemistry is a bitch, your scent is so intoxicating, I have all I can do not to just take you right here on the floor of this elevator. He let out a groan as if he was in pain, I thought I could be stronger to give you time but I am weak as a little pup when I am around you.”*
*“All my reason just leaves my thoughts, I have to touch you, I have to take in your scent, I have to taste your lips, I want it all. I don’t think I will be happy with just one taste or touch; I want you for forever and even then I don’t know if that will be long enough.”*
I don’t know why, but I embraced him then, I had to be insane we had just met not even 10 minutes ago. There was a pull to him that I couldn’t resist. Once my arms were around his waist he let out a growl, it startled me a little because it didn’t sound like a sound made by a human, rather the sound a canine would make, no bigger perhaps a wolf.
I could feel his warm lips caressing my forehead, his hand came up and touched my chin to bring my face up to his. There were those blue eyes, they were so intense I could swear they had a blue flames dancing inside them.
Before I had time to think his lips were over taking mine, the sparks that were always there when he touched me went up into white hot flames. He let out another growl, this time I felt the vibrations from it go straight to my core.
Suddenly, due to know conscious thought of my own, I was flooded by all the pain that my family had cause me. In a panic I try to break free from his embrace, stunned he let me go. I hit the open door and ran back out into the reception area. The only thing I remember as tears ran down my face was saying, Never Again.
I ran to the emergency stair well and descended to my floor, I grabbed my coat and purse, running down the Robins room.
When I looked at him my heart calmed down, he was still sleeping. I left the card and gummy worms I had bought for him, kissed him on the forehead and then ran out of the hospital to my car.
Racing off to the only sanctuary that I had in this world, my new home.
***Aiden’s POV***
I wanted to kick myself square in the ass; I acted like a stupid schoolboy with his first nude picture. I couldn’t resist her once her scent hit me I was lost. All I could think about was how I wanted her, needed her. It was to the point of being painful, my cock hell my whole body was throbbing to the point of pain.
She is human, this causes complications, complications that I knew I had to go slow with. Her instinct whether she understands it or not is going to be to run. Not to mention I had forgotten about all the dream links I had created, she must think she is going nuts.
I am going to have to make this work, cat is out of the bag now. If she doesn't think that those dreams were not actually dreams then she is going to know it now.
Not to mention the fact that I am also a shifter, she has no idea that my world exsists, I really messed things up.
***“Well done idiot, our mate has run off to her home. She is confused, scared, and thinking she is losing her mind. You couldn’t keep your hands off of her, if she wouldn’t have bolted when she did you would of taken her right there in that elevator.”***
***“I seem to recall Ares that you were right there with me. If I am the idiot what does that make you?”***
He gave me a huff and then curled up in his ball, disgusted with the both of us.
***“Doesn’t matter now anyway Ares, plans have changed we are going to have to her and do some explaining and hope she doesn’t think we have gone crazy too.”***
