Chapter 7 - Cody
No. No. Hell fucking no.
I slammed the tray of coffees onto my desk, then stormed out the front door.
If fate thought that I’d just roll over and spread my legs for Wes Abrams, then it was surely mistaken. I wasn’t going to open myself up for that kind of heartbreak.
As far as I was concerned, the sooner he was out of my life, the better—before I developed feelings for him.
I stomped back out to my car and got in. For a moment I considered driving home and calling in sick until he left town. But what were the chances he’d leave me alone?
I’d had a chance to look into Wes after Donna had told me that he was going to shadow me for a few days in an attempt to track down the bugs faster. Turns out the guy was not only the founder and CEO of the company that had developed the ReservdIt app, but he was a billionaire in a couple ways.
His father had founded a company that designed and built private aircraft, and had cracked a personal fortune of over a billion sometime when Wes was in high school.
Then Wes had decided that just inheriting the money wasn’t good enough, and had founded his own company—Abramsoft. Supposedly he’d eschewed his family’s money when it came to the business, and only took on outside investors as they saw worth in what he was doing. In doing so, he’d quickly become a billionaire in his own right.
What that all told me was that he was stubborn enough to do things the hard way, and that he had the resources to be a pain in my ass. Was there anywhere I could go where he couldn’t immediately follow in a jet emblazoned with the family name?
I draped my arms over the steering wheel and rested my forehead on them. However, the moment of peace left me with another problem, my body had decided that it liked Wes as my alpha, and my asscheeks were already coated in slick while my cock was hard as a rock.
I squirmed uncomfortably. That was the last thing I needed: to go back in and him smell me, ready to go. Because that wasn’t happening. It was better for both of us.
The omega side of me was insistent that I go back inside to Wes. However the logical side of me was trying to figure out my next steps.
I whined. My body was betraying me, and I needed it to stop. Where was my choice in the matter? Had my family not been tortured enough? Besides, Wes was an arrogant asshole, why would somebody like him be my fated mate?
I jumped at a knock on the window, a whimpering ‘no’ escaping me. I wasn’t ready to face him.
I looked up at a second knock to see Theo standing beside my car, a concerned expression on his face.
I rolled down the window just enough to talk to him.
“Donna called,” he explained. “She said you might have met your fated mate?”
I unlocked the car and he rounded it to get into the passenger side. However as soon as he got in he pinched his nose.
“Fuck,” he said, rolling down his window. “He got you that turned on? What did he do, shove his tongue down your throat?”
I wiped an angry tear. “I walked in this morning expecting a meeting with an asshole billionaire CEO. Then I saw him, sitting there. That was it, one smell… one glance… that was enough.”
His eyes widened. “You’re shitting me.”
I shook my head, then leaned back against the headrest. “Does it smell like I’m joking?”
“No. It smells like you need an alpha to knot you like yesterday.”
“And that’s how my body feels too. I’ve been trying to force myself to leave but my omega side won’t let me.”
“Switch places then,” he said. “I’ll take the bus back.”
“Huh?”
“I’m taking you home, dummy. Donna said that was an option when she called. So I’m going to get you out of here.”
I started crying, and he patted my shoulder. “It’s ok Cody. And I won’t even tease you about my being right until this afternoon.”
“Asshole.”
