Adom held the glass on the table, gently moving the contents in circular motions. Between small lapses of time, he raised the glass to his lips, slowly sipping the contents, not bothering to take his eyes off his computer. He does not know what time it is, only that he has been sitting behind the desk for about two hours receiving emails, answering these and checking that everything was fine in the administration of all areas of the company. All the work that was piling up due to being absent in the last week of the month is giving him a slight headache.
He stretched his body still sitting in the comfortable chair, feeling the tense muscles in his back ache and a couple of bones thunder. Shit, he loves this feeling.
The door of his office was flung open, revealing one of his closest friends to enter as if he were at his own home.
"You must speak to the reception first before you enter in my office Jack, after 8:00 PM. "
Adom Cole, CEO of Cole cooperation lets out a curse as he watches Jack walk in full manner, frowning slightly, showing an unfriendly expression. He even dressed casually, that's why Adom know the reason why Jack arrive in his office this time.
"What are you doing?"
"Working, it's obvious."
"We had arranged to go to a bar today, I have been waiting for an hour for you to answer my messages!" Jack exclaims, walking to the Adom desk where he slapped his palms hard on Adom table.
"I really accept your reason if you cancel our outing for something important, like you are going to spend your time with some omega, but this is unacceptable Adom."
Adom growls at Jack words, he really hate it when someone talk about his personal affairs. Specially Jack, he is always their to complain Adom about his personal issues, he always question Adom about how he is leading his life for more than five years, is he ever going to stop asking?
"Don't you have any work Jack? Beacuse I am busy."
Jack is not only Adom's best friend but he also his company chief editor of Cole cooperation several magazine. Adom knows Jack always delivered all of his work on time without any error, but still he prefers to divert the subject to something else.
"You know that all my work is done, on friday in the meeting you will receive everything in perfect order. I am sure your assistant told you Adom. "Jack expression change drastically which make Adom roll his eyes, when he see Jack giving him a flirtatious smile.
Jack stood straight in front of the desk and began to circle it slowly, earning a curious look from Adom.
"Speaking about him, how he is doing? Did he ask about me?"
Adom shoulder tensed for a second as Jack took at him with annoying smile. The smile on his face is really look annoying, so annoying that Adom wants to hit him and wipe his smile.
"My assistant don't have a time to ask about you Jack."
"'My assistant', someone is being possessive." Jack patted Adom shoulder a little roughly, pulling away with an amused smile.
"The boy is really beautiful and I can't help myself Adom, he is really adorable for this World, I want to do something. You said you're not interested, so it maybe my chance to settle down with Omega and it will also help you Adom. You know I can see love in his eyes for you Adom"
A growl escapes from Adom mouth, it's not a low one or easy to ignore, it's a loud one, a growl from his inner alpha.
"Don't say stupid things if you don't want me to kick you out of my office Jack."
"Oh, hell! Sam warned me not to bring up the Ash issue, but I didn't know you will react like this."
"What did Sam told you?" Adom questioned immediately, raising his eyebrows and pouting with his lips.
Before Jack was able to answer, his phone rang along with Adom's computer. An incoming email that was addressed to both of them. The particular e-mail is an answer they have been waiting for all day, because last minute interviews were about to be cancelled because no one can satisfy interviewers. Which is really hard in Cole cooperation.
"You're reading this?"
"Yes," Adom answered quickly, grabbing his phone from the desk as he stood up. Jack watched him carefully, watching him type on his mobile's screen and when Jack about to ask whom he calling, Adom pressed his mobile to his ear.
It was not difficult for Jack to suspect to whom his friend is calling.
"Adom, just Adom. How many times do I have to repeat it, Ash?" A smile crept across Adom face and it's really fucking bright, his tone of a voice much softer than when he spoke to Jack.That caused a amused smile on Jack face, but he didn't do or say anything, he just watched. "I know it's late, sorry for calling at this time," Adom apologized before continuing.He had started to walk slowly through the office. "I received the answer about the interviews, they have approved that they appear in the magazine.So I needed to talk to you, we have a busy week;I need you to open a space in our new agenda for next week, there should be a free time and when you find it in my schedule so I can have s meeting with the representative Mr. Allen?".
"Honey, finish all your breakfast, dad will be here soon for you." Ash tries to sound as kind and calm as possible, hiding the despair in his voice, because yelling at his 5-year-old son is not a good option, not when he does not have the right Blame but it's so damn late for Ash. Mornings are usually quiet for some and a complete disaster for others, perhaps it all depends on the time you wake up and the number of activities you have to do. In his case, the Ash morning is turning out to be a total disaster. Keeping you up late finishing one of the biggest projects you have to deliver on the weekend is the main reason your day started off on the wrong foot, but being lazy and to put off the damn project would be even worse; neglecting qualifications is not something that remains on their blueprints. Not today, not ever. He goes from one place to another inside his house, looking for what he needs for work, as well as the belongings of his little boy, Jai, who is sitting at the table
Sebestian was lucky since the day he met Ash, from when they were friends and after having another type of relationship, he has always managed to convince him easily. This time, instead of getting a negative response or silly excuses, the only thing Sebestian received from her ex-husband was a sigh of surrender. The moment Jai left the room with his shoes on and a small backpack on his back, Ash took his son hand and lead him outside, making his way to the front door. He struggled a bit because of all the things he carried with him, at least until Sebestian rushed to help him carry Ash pile of folders and diary. When it was time to get inside the car, Ash things were placed in the back seats of Sebestian car, the furthest from the car seat where Ash was of placing Jai carefully, his son is keep quite s
Ash heard Adom laugh, pulling him completely out of his thoughts, which were of the possible detergents he could use to try to remove the stain. He looked forward again, how lucky he was to be so tall, so he didn't have to lift his head to look at Adom's face. They are close, not much but they are quite close. The closeness is not annoying, Adom is a good and respectful boss, never getting closer than he should, or making inappropriate comments. He is same like his ex husband, Sebestian. Adom smiles sideways, tilting his head slightly. "I'll have to wash it later." Taking a step back, he made a couple of movements with his arms to remove his jacket. "I'll go through the folders and check all of them, I will inform you if I find anything , good day Mr. Cole." Adom opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated so he preferred to keep quiet. He waved his hand, signalling to Ash so he can go and do his work. They can't waste more time, not when the meeting going to start in
The moment Adom went down the elevator, Ash excused himself to both beta and omega who he was talking, lying about he need to go to the bathroom. He walked at a hurried pace to the toilets and when he was inside, he verified that he was free of any other presence; after that, he rushed to call Sebestian to inform him of his early departure. Ash held his cell phone carefully as he wait for Sebestian answer. Ash is actually lucky, Sebestian answer his call instantly, Ash listen how Sebestian talking to someone else before he start speaking to him. "I'm sorry, did I interrupt?" Ash murmurs in a nervous voice, the last thing he wanted to cause any problem for Sebestian. "Not at all, it's just Man. We are practically sharing our cabin today, at least since he found out that I brought Jai with me. What's going on? Ar
After their dinner with Man and Jack Sebestian drop Ash and his son Jai to their apartment. It's pretty late when he came back to his place and he is sure Allen is missing him like a crazy kitten missing his mouse. Both him and Allen are like Flex Glue. Not even water could separate them. No matter how hard you tried, they’d always find some excuse to be together. That, of course, is before Allen was forced to go on his company. No one other than but him. Not even his younger brother who is Alpha. Sebestian remember the particular weekend meeting. Allen was going to attend metting . Three days without Allen seems simple enough except for the fact that they are literally a mess without each other. Sebestian huff and change his clothes whenever he think abou
Adom has known for years now that Ash would be the death of him one day. He just never imagined that it would go down like this, with Ash sitting on Adom desk, asking Adom to consider having sex with him. "You're actually serious?" Ash nods. "As death," he says. Adom stares at him, and prays that he's going to wake up from this absurd dream soon. "Think about it!" Ash leans closer. "We've got to do this anyway at some point, and honestly, I'd rather do at you over anyone else in this place." Adom pinches himself discreetly. It hurts. He really isn't dreaming; Ash is finally trying to murder him. It's...harder than Ash expected it to be, having Adom around him all the time and getting to do all sorts of things with and to Adom , but not being able to kiss him. In his defence away from Adom is a very long time, long enough for all the immunity he used to have built up against all these urges to kiss Adom to be completely useless now. And besides, Adom at twenty-five is markedly
It starts the way all of Zack start — with Seth at the forefront of things, acting as the catalyst. In this situation, specifically, it starts when Seth asks loudly, in front of everybody, at the biweekly sibling dinner Zack hosts, “So when are you going to make an honest man out of our Zack?” Zack stills where he is reaching out to pass the plate of stir-fry eggplants to Seth to stop him from continuing to whine over how they’ve set the table up with his favourite dish the furthest away from him. Rose, Seth sitter ends up taking the plate over from Seth, smiling as she shakes her head. “Don’t tease him, Seth,” she chides gently. “It’s not like that,” Seth tells Rose, scowling. It’s not the first time Seth has made similar suggestions, but it’s one thing to ignore Rose jesting when it’s just between them, and another when they’re not the only ones present, and Seth words could be taken the wrong way. Rose has been living with Seth for the last three years. She’s a much better hou
