Oh please don’t

The following conversation with my family actually went surprisingly benign. Mr. Jones had introduced himself to my fathers and brothers as my boss and made no odd insinuations either.

But why couldn't I shake this feeling that everything was going to go terribly wrong?

I was terrified that our secret would come out.

I felt uneasy and uncomfortable. And my brother Frederic was surely aware of my discomfort. He was watching me the whole time with his sharp eyes.

The others seemed to be having fun though. Edward, Desmond and Daniel seemed to be having a great time with Mr. Jones.

Slowly he and his hypocritically nice demeanor started to annoy the hell out of me. If only the others knew what kind of demon he was.

For a moment i toyed with the idea of ​​letting my pheromones run free to trigger Caden. However, I decided against it almost as quickly.

Even if the others would hardly notice my pheromones, I didn't want to get Mr. Jones into this trouble in front of them. I didn't know what would happen to him then.

Would he freak out completely? Would he pounce on me like a wild animal?

Somehow this thought aroused me.

Nevertheless such lewd thoughts did not belong at my beloved father's birthday party. I sighed and went back to the conversations.

It was a long evening that dragged on forever. I felt my social battery slowly draining.

I just wanted to get away from here. And I wasn't the only one: My father Desmond seemed to feel the same way. After all, we were both the only two introverts in the family. The others could not understand us. We would probably remain a mystery to them forever.

The food was delicious though, but I was so nervous that I could hardly swallow a bite.

…

Somehow I survived the evening unscathed.

I thought I was off the hook, until my father kindly asked me to put my boss up in one of the suites he had booked for the guests on the upper floors.

Caden just gave me a shit eating grin and I realized what was waiting for me up there. I had an uncomfortable déjà-vu.

Nevertheless, I forced a smile and tensely escorted Mr. Jones upstairs. I tried somehow to stay calm, but I couldn't even begin to manage it.

For a while we walked down the noble hallway in silence until Caden started a conversation:

"Why so stiff, young lady?"

"You know exactly why." I hissed.

"Oh come on, you always like it too, or am I wrong?"

I didn't answer, just gritted my teeth. But that was answer enough for him. He just grinned smugly again.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to reveal our secret to your family that easily. Starting something here would be too risky even for me." He said when we stopped in front of his room.

"Really?" I asked doubtful.

"No, not at all. But I'm considerate of you." He said with a wide smirk. I just rolled my eyes at that.

"How noble of you" I said sarcastically.

He laughed harshly in response.

"But hopefully nothing speaks against a little kiss goodbye?" He said promisingly as he pinned me against the nearest wall. I gasped.

Shortly afterwards his lips were already on mine. I didn't have any time to protest.

The kiss started tenderly, but then became more and more passionate. He held my face in his gigantic hands and pressed me even closer to him, so i was leaning against his muscular chest.

He kissed me like someone dying of thirst. It didn't take long before Caden's warm, wet tongue slipped into my mouth. I could hardly suppress my moans. It just felt so incredibly good. I couldn't seem to get enough of him.

He was so intoxicating. His smell, his tall frame, his kisses... i could never get enough of it. It was addicting. Too good to be true.

In a brief moment of clarity, I realized that we were still in the hotel corridor and that anyone here could see us anytime. Panic inevitably crept up inside me.

"Cudwn." I mumbled his name into the kiss as I pressed my hands against his pecs to push him away. But he didn't budge.

Now I drummed against his chest to draw attention to myself.

When he broke away from me i took a deep breath. I didn't even realize he almost choked me with this kiss.

"Something wrong?" He asked while examining my flustered expression. His eyes were dark and predatory. I could see his suppressants slowly losing their effectiveness.

If I didn't get out of here fast enough, he'd probably fuck me right here in the middle of the hallway.

"Hah...we...we can't do something that in the hallway. That's too risky. What if someone sees us?" I asked frightened. My cheeks were more than red.

"There's no one here right now. And your family is probably still downstairs at the party. They won't be getting up here anytime soon. so don't worry and enjoy it." He said huskily.

"Cad-mph…" I tried to say, but he smothered my replies in another kiss.

As I struggled against him, he grabbed my wrists in his large veiny hands and pressed them against the wall behind me as well. Now I was completely defenseless. I couldn't do anything but give up and accept his hot kisses.

And they felt … oh … so good.

His warm, long tongue exploring my mouth nearly drove me insane. I felt myself getting wetter and wetter. He was just such a good kisser. I wanted more.

I wanted to touch him, but his hands still restricted mine, so I couldn't do anything. My eyes were closed. I could only think of him. Of him and everything he could do to me. Everything he would-

"Nora? Are you still up here? Dad wanted to ask if- oh holy... Nora?! what are you doing here? are you...?" I suddenly heard a more than familiar voice echoing in the hallway.

Caden and I immediately pulled away from each other and stared at the intruder in disbelief. I widened my eyes in shock, when I realized who it was.

"D-daniel?!"

"Oh my … Nora! I didn't know that you are so dirty. Are you really dating your boss?" He asked with a smugly grin.

"Keep it down Daniel!" I hissed while I wanted to go towards him. However, Caden stopped me from doing so by putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Listen here, little kid." He growled dangerously, so that Daniel immediately took a few steps back.

The entire atmosphere of the room had suddenly changed. It was suddenly so cold and unsettling. Even I could feel it. You could grasp the dark, almost murderous aura with your hands.

In addition, Caden's smell was slowly no longer being suppressed. Daniel got the whole broadside of it now. I saw the fear and defiance in his eyes. It must be a very scary smell.

"If you tell anyone about this, it won't end well for you, do you understand?" Caden said menacingly.

Daniel just nodded, completely scared.

"Good. Now go back with Nora." Mr. Jones instructed and let go of my shoulder.

I was surprised he didn't keep me with him. But it was probably the wiser choice. Otherwise there could only be worse rumors about us.

Caden's logical side still had the upper hand right now. But probably not for much longer.

I quickly ran to Daniel, grabbed his hand before anything could happen and left the ominous hallway with him as quickly as possible.

"Your boss is a very scary man. I almost pissed my pants." Daniel whined, while we were in the elevator.

"Yeah, I know." I sighed.

"How can you put up with him? I didn't want to stay up there a second longer."

"It's probably because I'm a submissive omega. Everyone else reacts to him the same way you do when his suppressives are no longer effective."

"Is that the reason why i could hardly smell him before? I thought he was a beta or something. But from his looks and demeanor he didn't look like a beta at all."

"My doctor suspects that he is an extremely dominant alpha. So practically the perfect counterpart to me. But I don't think he even knows that himself. He probably thinks he has some kind of pheromonal dysfunction."

"Err … ookay? And don't you want to tell him?"

"I don't even know if the suspicion is true at all. I don't want to hurl anything at him in a hurry." I tried to explain.

"You don't want him to think you guys are fated mates, do you?" Said Daniel with a knowing smirk.

For a moment I just looked at him in surprise. He had actually hit the mark. And i had already thought that he always lagged behind in conversations.

"… You got me there." I admitted.

"Ha! I knew it!"

"What was there else for me to do? He's already kind of obsessed with me. I don't want it to get any worse." I complained.

"Is that why you got the job?"

Daniel was probably just curious. Nevertheless, his question hurt me a little.

because it was exactly what I feared the most. That the people around me drew wrong conclusions.

"No! I'm really not like that, and you know that too. Mr. Jones was on a business trip at the time of the applications. I only met him a week later, when I already had the job." I explained, as we both stepped out of the elevator.

"Did he make you do something you didn't want?" He asked with a concerned frown.

"No...well...I don't know. I don't think I agreed to this partnership involuntarily." I explained lost in thought.

"Then it's good. Otherwise I would rip his head off."

"Could you?" I asked with a doubtful laugh.

After all, Daniel's head was just as wide as Caden's upper arm muscles. Presumably Mr. Jones would smash his head in with his hands before my lanky brother could do anything against him.

"Oh shut up! I would try it at least." He defended himself.

I laughed.

"Can you keep it a secret? I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea before i haven't explained myself." I asked again more seriously. It was an honest request. Daniel probably saw that.

"Sure! You know me. I'm not a snitch. But you also have to keep your promise that I will soon be able to meet someone nice."

"Yes, no worries I already have someone in sight."

"What? Really?" Daniel was really excited.

"Yes. She is a beta and wears glasses. I know you like glasses." I said, while I thought at the acorn Lady. The two of them would make such a cute couple in my opinion.

"Yes. The person wearing them always looks so intelligent." He stated proudly.

"You're always looking for what you don't have yourself, am I right?"

"Oh shut up." He just said, making me laugh again.

At that very moment, I got a message on my cell phone. it was from Caden. I read it silently while Daniel made his way back to the others.

The message was short. It just said that he hoped I hadn't forgotten our date for tomorrow and that I should wait for him in front of the hotel entrance at eight o'clock sharp. It was a message that allowed no contradiction, so i just replied with a simple "okay".

I wondered what he had planned for tomorrow…
