Alpha Caden’s POVI stepped into the elevator, not answering the greetings from my employees. It struck me that there's been a noticeable change in the demeanor of the women since Flora's passing. Their flirtatious behavior, which used to be subtle when she was alive, now feels more overt and persistent. Like they have become bolder. It's unsettling, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's just my perception or if there's a genuine shift happening. Regardless, I find it inappropriate and concerning. I may need to convene a meeting to address this before it escalates any further. Whatever the hell this is. As the elevator doors chimed open to my floor, I was greeted by a sight that instantly aroused me. My dick gave a jerk, all blood rushing down there like they had no other place else to be at. My hands clenched in fists to stop myself from using the heels to massage the ache. Darn it. I hadn't yet finished reviewing the CCTV footage of Aurora and me in my study, and the anticipation o
Aurora’s POVAlpha Caden's abrupt dismissal left me pondering his intentions. Did he expect me to obediently follow him? I defied his implicit expectation and embarked on a solo exploration of the sprawling, deserted floor. Its vastness was strikingly gorgeous with its eerie emptiness, with only Mia's solitary desk punctuating the void. As I wandered, curiosity led me to discover a powder room, its pristine surfaces untouched by human presence, and a locked door, hinting at secrets yet to be unveiled. And there is nothing that gets me curious. Such a disease. The kitchen, a gleaming oasis amidst the desolation, boasted a magnificent coffee maker that seemed almost out of place in such solitude. The wastefulness of this abandoned expanse weighed heavily on my mind. Why leave so much space unused and unexplored?Ah, the next hour was all about my coffee game. I mean, not to toot my own horn, but I've got the coffee-making skills down pat, thanks to my stint at this café back in the hu
Alpha Caden’s POVI took a step closer to Aurora, crowding her so she could feel the rage roiling within me. I wasn’t in this mood earlier when I came in and saw her wearing those damned heels. I was fucking aroused then but right now, I want to strangle her. I’m glad the fucking arousal vanished though. I don’t understand why I would feel that for Aurora when I’m not into girls decades younger than I am. “Do you know who you are talking to?” I rasped out the question, barely keeping my anger in check. “Caden Black?” Her sarcastic answer and she had the nerve to tilt her head to the side cockily. I didn’t want to but my right hand slowly started creeping its way to her chest where the coffee she poured on herself is staining. When my hand passed by her naked boob, I grit my teeth but kept going. I’m not touching her for pleasure, the exact opposite. I want her to know who has the power here. So I grasp her tiny delicate neck in one fist and tighten just enough for her to feel the
Aurora’s POVAs the representatives from the Lincoln Group entered the room, a wave of recognition washed over me. It was surreal to realize that the Lincoln mentioned by Mia, the one I had assumed to be a coincidence, was none other than Logan Lincoln himself.Memories flooded back, recalling the first time I had encountered Logan, my multimillionaire client with a love for intricate body art. He loves tattoos! He was a man who spared no expense when it came to adorning his body with the finest designs money could buy.I remembered the awe-inspiring moment when he had entrusted me with the task of tattooing a wide dragon across his wide back, a work that had earned me a cool million dollars. It was a testament to his extravagant tastes and his unwavering commitment to excellence.He wants nothing but perfection and that perfect person is me. But that was just the beginning. Logan's insatiable appetite for unique body art had led to countless commissions over the years, each one more
Alpha Caden’s POV After an hour of intense negotiations, the tension in the room finally began to dissipate as the meeting drew to a close. With a sense of relief washing over me, I watched as Logan Lincoln and I exchanged nods of mutual satisfaction, our agreement reached. A meeting I wanted to call off after the way he stared at Aurora earlier. "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Lincoln," I said, extending my hand in gratitude.Logan clasped my hand firmly, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "The pleasure is mine, Mr. Black," he replied, his tone sincere. "I look forward to working with you and Pinnacle Capital."The agreement reached, we exchanged final pleasantries before Logan and his representatives made his exit, leaving me to ponder the implications of our newfound partnership. It was a significant step forward for both parties, one that promised to yield great rewards in the days to come.I turned my attention to the dedicated team of employees who had played a c
Alpha Caden’s POV Clad in my tailored suit, I strode purposefully towards the office exit, my movements crisp and decisive. The usual hum of activity that filled the office had dwindled to a mere whisper as my departure caught the attention of those still present, including Mia, who watched with wide eyes, clearly taken aback by my uncharacteristic early exit.I met her gaze briefly, noting the surprise that flickered across her features before I offered a small, knowing smile. It was a rare sight indeed for me to leave the office before closing time, and I could sense the curiosity radiating from Mia as she processed the unexpected turn of events.With a nod of acknowledgment to those still lingering in the office, I made my way towards the exit, the sound of my footsteps echoing through the quiet space. As I passed by Mia, I barely resisted the urge to offer her a subtle wink –I don’t want her reading deep into this after her approach earlier. Instead I offer her a silent acknowl
Aurora’s POV After Logan's departure, a whirlwind of conflicting emotions churned within me, threatening to consume my resolve. The weight of Alpha Caden's dominance hung heavy in the air, suffocating me with the suffocating pressure of my obligations to the pack. With each passing moment, the desire to escape grew stronger, tempting me with the promise of freedom from the constraints of my existence. There is nothing left for me here except bitterness. Lilian will understand if I told her I ran away. As I stood alone in the aftermath of the meeting, a sudden surge of determination coursed through my veins, urging me towards a decision that would change the course of my destiny. With a sense of urgency gnawing at my insides, I made a split-second choice to follow Logan, to chase after the possibility of a life beyond the confines of the pack.Bounding down the hallway in pursuit of Logan's retreating figure, I pushed aside the doubts that threatened to hold me back. What was the wo
Alpha Caden’s POV I woke with a sudden start, my breath coming in ragged gasps, I couldn't shake the feeling of disorientation that washed over me. My eyes darted around the room, seeking reassurance in the familiar surroundings, desperate to confirm that I wasn't back in the study with Aurora once again.The dream had been so vivid, so real, that it left me reeling with a potent mixture of arousal and confusion. I could still feel her presence lingering in the air, her image seared into my mind like a brand. The memory of us together, entwined in passion and sweat, ignited a fire within me that I struggled to contain.But as tempting as it was to give in to the animalistic urges that pulsed through my veins, I knew that I couldn't afford to lose control. I refused to look south, to acknowledge the physical response that threatened to betray my resolve. I couldn't afford to be distracted by base desires, not when there were more pressing matters at hand.The thought of watching the r
