16 Chapter 16 Office Flirting Caroline's POV 1 I snapped upright in bed , my heart pounding with a fierce rage I rarely felt before . How dare Alpha Draven Thorne send me such filthy messages , teasing me like I was some helpless little wolf toying with his fire ? He was dead wrong if he thought I would just take it lying down .. I'd never been so pissed off or bold in my entire life . Usually , I was the calm , reserved one in the pack , never the type to act on raw , primal impulses or let my wolf , Rory , take control . But this arrogant Alpha had managed to awaken a wildfire inside both me and Rory . And I was determined to fight back - no way was I going to lose to him . " He wants to play games ? Let's show him what a Beta's daughter is made of , " Rory growled within me . I flung open my closet and pulled out a black dress that , while appearing modest and office - appropriate , hugged every curve of my body perfectly . It was form - fitting , hit mid - thigh , and had a V - neckline that hinted at cleavage without being inappropriate for a professional setting . I chose blood - red high heels and a black lingerie set with tiny panties to avoid lines showing through the dress . I decided to wear my hair down , letting my golden locks cascade over my shoulders . It wasn't the most professional choice , but I couldn't care less . I was going to make his day hell , and he would regret playing his little dominance games with me . An Alpha might rule his pack , but he didn't rule me . I had to wake up earlier to get ready and rush out of the house to make it to the office on time . Today , I was going to drive this Alpha crazy . He thought he was so clever and dominant , but I planned to keep him locked in the bathroom all day . I'd tease him so much he couldn't control his dick ; he'd need plenty of cold showers . The nerve of him , sending those messages in the middle of the night ! But if he thought I was going to sit quietly like a good little she - wolf , he had another thing coming . I arrived at the Thorne Enterprises office twenty minutes before the time he had set . Perfect . I made some coffee and sat behind my desk to wait for him . I didn't want him to see my dress the moment he walked in and have time to prepare himself . I planned to appear sweet and innocent . He would have a heart attack and wouldn't dare do anything . I had carefully thought through how I was going to mess with him and come out of this situation with the upper hand . He would regret not keeping things strictly professional between us . At exactly the scheduled time , I heard the elevator open and pretended to be deeply focused on my computer . His scent reached me before I saw him - cedarwood and musk , intoxicating . He stopped in front of my desk , and I heard him grunt ; he had already noticed my neckline . With a smile on his face , he spoke in that slightly husky voice . " Good morning , Miss Bennett . How was your night ? " " Good morning , Alpha Thorne . I slept like an angel . And you ? " I smiled at him . " I needed some extra physical activities because of you ," he smiled devilishly . I realized that if I had planned to torture him , he had made his own plans too . 07:38 1/4 " Let's go to my office , please . " " Of course , Alpha ." As he gestured toward the door , I grabbed my tablet , stood up , and walked ahead of him . I smiled when I heard him curse under his breath - my dress had achieved exactly the effect I wanted . I entered his office and started walking toward his desk , but I heard him say , " Let's sit on the couch , Caroline . It'll be more comfortable for you to share your tablet screen with me ." I looked at him , finding it strange , but headed toward the couch . It was a huge black leather couch and very comfortable . I sat at one end and crossed my legs , my dress riding up slightly , revealing the black lace of my thigh - high stockings , but I didn't bother pulling it down . I wanted to provoke Draven . I heard him grunt ; his wolf was losing control , and his massive erection was proof of that . 1 " Something wrong , Alpha ? " I asked as if I hadn't noticed anything . " Oh yes , Caroline . A very big problem , " he said and looked down at his pants . I had to hold back my laughter as he sat next to me , very close , his leg touching mine . " This needs addressing , Caroline . I can hardly conduct business like this . " I was having fun . It was working perfectly . But I hadn't counted on Draven being such a direct and uninhibited Alpha . " Well , Alpha , maybe you need to control your wolf better ," I said , uncrossing and recrossing my legs , turning almost to face him in a calculatedly sexy movement just to provoke him more . I was sure he wouldn't dare touch me - not in a professional setting , not with the pack's rules about workplace conduct . But he leaned over me , forcing me to arch back against the couch . His warm breath brushed across my face , wrapping me in that intoxicating scent only he had . I stared at his sharp , handsome features so close to mine - the deep violet eyes that seemed to pull me in , those tempting lips that begged to be kissed . I couldn't help but swallow hard . He whispered low , " You know you're teasing me wearing that short skirt and that barely - there lingerie , don't you ? " I forced myself to stay calm and shook my head . " I don't know what you're talking about , Alpha . This is perfectly normal office attire ." His hand slid slowly down my thigh while the other moved up my back , fingers brushing against the edge of my lingerie as if testing whether to pull it off . My throat tightened , and a heat pooled between my legs , my mind growing dizzy with want . He pressed closer , lips grazing my ear . " Or maybe I should fuck you right here on this damn couch with nothing but those sexy red heels on . " His blunt words shattered the last shred of control I had left . All I could think about was him ripping off my stockings and fucking me right here on this couch , just like he said . 8214 I felt his hand on my ass , adjusting my body better on the couch , and felt his weight on top of me . He buried his face in my neck and licked my skin , inhaling deeply , as if seeking the perfect place to leave his mark and claim me as his . " Damn , she - wolf , you're driving me crazy ! " he growled in my ear , his cock thick and hard through his pants , pressing right against my soaked panties . I wasn't thinking anymore , had already forgotten everything I'd planned against him . I just wanted him to get inside me . But he pulled and turned his back to me , running his hands over his face in exasperation , leaving me confused . away Before I could react , he crushed his mouth to mine , his tongue thrusting deep inside , devouring every inch . His powerful arms wrapped around me , pulling me hard against his muscular chest . Jesus , he was a good kisser . He pinned me beneath him , shoving my dress up around my waist . His hot mouth covered my breasts through the thin fabric while his hands tore my black lace stockings , yanking my soaked panties off , ripping them away and leaving me completely exposed . He ran his hand over my opening and traced my wet folds , a knowing smirk crossing his face when he felt how moist and ready I was for him . Then he circled my swollen clit and I writhed beneath him . When he finally pushed a finger deep inside my wet pussy and thrust it in and out , I arched up with a soft moan of pleasure . These overwhelming sensations immersed me in feelings I thought I'd never feel again , bringing back memories of that magical night at the masquerade ball two years ago . I needed him inside me now , wanted him to fuck me with that thick cock . All of a sudden , he stopped and pulled away . " This needs to stop . I'm not some mindless Alpha who fucks his employees in the office , but you're pushing my self - control to its limits . You're driving me and my wolf crazy , and that's only happened to me once before . We need to figure this out somehow , " he said , sitting at the other end of the couch with his face buried in his hands . Here I was , exposed to him , without panties and with a frustrated orgasm , and he just stopped ? Now he wanted to " figure things out " ? Screw that ! Let him deal with his own problems since he decided to leave both me and my wolf hanging . Furious , I stood up and straightened my dress , looking around for my panties , but they were nowhere to be found . Great , second time in my life I'd lost my underwear . And now I'd have to go commando all day because I'd rather die than ask him about the panties he'd ripped off . Hell no . I took a deep breath and decided to flip the script . I sat down , deliberately keeping my legs uncrossed , adopted my most professional demeanor , and grabbed my tablet . " Alpha Draven , shall I bring you some herbal tea to help ... settle your wolf ? " I asked sweetly . He looked at me like a frustrated puppy who'd had his favorite toy taken away . It was almost comical seeing such a powerful Alpha , who controlled a massive business empire , reduced to this state . Rising to his feet , he gestured to the obvious bulge in his pants . " Maybe I should handle this problem myself ," he growled in frustration . Turning away , he added , " Caroline , I need a minute . Return to your desk . " ' A minute ? Is that enough ? ' I wanted to say it so badly but feared he might get angry trying to prove himself . I decided to make a quick 07 38 3/4 exit instead . I walked to my office , but as I reached for the door handle , his amused voice stopped me . " Forgetting something ? " My face burned . The bastard still had my panties , but I'd be damned if I asked for them back . " No , Alpha ." He dared to tease me , so before closing the door I shot back , " Alpha , a minute won't be enough to satisfy me ." I ran immediately after saying that , afraid he might catch me . But now my mind was filled with images of him stroking himself on that couch , probably using my panties while he did it . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
