Page 8 of Surprise Baby for My Fated Alpha

He stood behind me and whispered in my ears “Mmm … I’ve missed your scent”

Using his index finger, he moved my hair and slowly kissed my neck. He went a step further licking my ear with tip of his tongue, just the way I liked it.

“Mmmm,” I moaned, lightly.

“Why have you been avoiding me these past few days?” he asked, as he turned me around.

Did he just arouse me and leave me hanging?I thought.

“Uh … Uh …”

“Are you going to keep stammering?” he asked, looking into my eyes, making it difficult for me to process a sentence.

“I’m not avoiding you … sir”

“Sir? To you, I’m Orion. Understood?”

“But …”

“When we are with other workers, you can call me sir, but when we are alone, you can only call me Orion.”

At that moment, nothing else mattered. I just wanted to have his lips brushed on mine. He pulled me close and caressed my lower lip with his thumb.

“Oh … the things I want to do to you … having you so close … and …”

Before he could finish his statement, a knock on the door interrupted, and drew me back to reality.

“Come in!”

“Oh Jake! Why do you have such wrong timing?” he added.

“I came to drop off the report regarding the investigation on the South Point seaport” Jake said.

“Uh … I have to … umm … I’ll be outside,” I said, feeling embarrassed.

Unable to bear the embarrassment, I decided to go to the restroom to pull myself together, but on my way, I overheard a conversation I wasn’t supposed to.

I was passing by one of the conference rooms, when I heard voices speaking in hushed tones. Something about the way they were speaking made me stop in my tracks.

“... we can’t let this get out. If anyone finds out about the deal, it’s over.”

“Relax. No one knows. We just have to make sure everything goes smoothly, just like last time.”

My heart raced as I pressed myself against the wall, listening intently. I didn’t recognize the voices, but the urgency in their tone sent a chill down my spine.

“This isn’t just about the money. If the others find out, there’ll be hell to pay.”

The others? What are they talking about?I thought.

I had to know more, but before I could make a move, the door to the conference room opened, and two men walked out. I quickly ducked around the corner, holding my breath as they passed by.

Once they were gone, I hurried back to my desk, my mind racing. Whatever that conversation had been about, it wasn’t good. And my instincts were screaming at me that something dangerous was happening right under Orion’s nose.

The weight of what I’d overheard hung over me like a dark cloud. I had to tell Orion.

My nerves buzzed under my skin as I made my way to Orion’s office. My steps were brisk, and I rehearsed what I would say in my mind.

When I reached his office, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
