Page 34 of Her Cruel Alpha

“She’s a scientist that I sometimes work with,” Katie buttoned her pants and started to run her hands through her hair. “She’s really nice. This should just take me a few minutes, and I’ll be back.”

I caught her before she could run and pulled her to me. “Does that mean you want to continue when you get back?” I couldn’t help but hope she smiled and nodded her head.

Katie gave me a sad frown. “Maybe not. We are at my work, after all.”

I felt my chest deflate as Katie moved to the door and pulled it open. A short woman who was probably barely five feet tall stood waiting. She gave us a smile, and it widened when she looked at Katie. You could see that she looked up to Katie.

“Did I interrupt anything?”

“No,” Katie shook her head, not showing any signs that she’d just orgasm a few moments ago. She’s pulled herself together pretty well, but I wasn’t sure I could. My cock was painful, so I sat down into a chair.

“Oh, good. I was in the middle of something and my math seems to be off, but I can’t see where I went wrong. Would you mind coming and looking over it for me? It should only take a few minutes.”

I scowl, growing more irritated.

“Yeah, if you want, you can show me up here?”

Liv’s eyes sparkled. “Really? You’re okay with that? Can I use your whiteboard?” Liv walked into the room and Katie looked at me.

“This could be a while, so why don’t you go get some things you need to get done? I’m sure you had other things you wanted to do today.”

I glared at her. “I wanted to do you,” I grumbled quietly, ensuring Liv didn't hear. “And I would be.”

Katie’s face went a deep shade of red, and she suddenly seemed unable to form words.

“Liv, do you have any other markers? These seemed to have dried out.”

Katie looked over at Liv and then back at me. She gave me a pleading expression. “Please, Henrik? Don’t be mad.”

I knew that I was behaving childishly, but I couldn’t help it. I had been so close, right there, and now I was losing my chance. Who knew when I would get it again.

“Fine,” I said. “I will see you at home.”

I left her office, and once outside, I knew I needed to cool my head. It wasn’t fair of me to be angry when this was probably hard for Katie. She was a virgin, and we had been at her work. I understand where she was coming from.

I decided to call Sam, as it had been a few days since we last spoke. I took a seat on a bench and called her number. The phone only rang for a few moments before she answered. “Hey bro, long time since you called me.”

I smiled. “How’s the new mommy?”

“It’s pretty good. Jay just took the baby out for a stroll, so I was going to take a nap.”

“Do you want me to call you back later?” I leaned back against the bench, staring up at the sky.

“No. We haven’t spoken in a few days, and being that it’s only a little after lunch, I’m guessing you have a reason to be calling me.”

“Why do I have to have a reason to call you?”

“Because you call when you get home, not in the middle of the day unless you have a reason. You are very much a creature of habit and you only step out of that when you need something.”

“You’re making me sound bad.”

She laughed. “No, I’m simply saying I know you. So, what’s up? How is the marriage going between you two?”

I sighed, unable to deny it. “I’m having a hard time getting Katie to open up.”

I had been trying since she moved in, and I felt I had barely gotten to know her. I thought we would be getting along better than this. Upstairs was wonderful, but she also threw me out so quickly.

“You have to realize that Katie is a very shy person.”
