The Girl He Marked by Laila Callaway

Book 1 Chapter 21 

I force myself to focus on the numbers and try to concentrate. It works for a while, until a delicious scent reaches me. My head snaps up in response and I‘m greeted with the beautiful sight of my mate rounding the corner, his dark eyes land on me, his lips twitching into a mischievous smile. 

“Hey,‘ I breathe, my heart already beating faster now he‘s near me. He comes over and leans down, kiss ing me with no warning. I reach up and wrap my arms around his neck from where I‘m sat, pulling him down to me. He kisses me with such skill that it makes my legs weak and I‘m glad I‘m sitting down. 

The intercom buzzes on my phone and I push Jayce away, reaching over to press the button. 

‘Myra? Is my Beta out there?‘ Damien‘s voice sounds out, Jayce ignores him and begins kissing down my neck, raising goose–bumps on my arms. 

‘Um yes, he is,‘ I manage to stutter out, cursing my voice for not sounding steadier. 

Jayce get your hands off her and come in here please, Damien reprimands and Jayce huffs in annoy ance, pulling away from me. He winks at me and lets himself into Damien‘s office. 

I get sucked back into my work, but shouting voices eventually break through my concentration. The door to the office swings open and a fuming Jayce storms out and down the corridor without a glance in my direction. 

I instinctively stand up, but then tell myself not to follow him and let him calm down. I walk over to the office to shut the door, and see Damien leaning back in his chair, shaking his head in exasperation. 

‘Is everything alright, Alpha?‘ | ask, concerned as his tired eyes meet mine. 

He sighs before replying, ‘I need you and Jayce to go and collect some information from one of my fa ther‘s old business sites, he was a bit of an entrepreneur, and I don‘t want anyone getting their hands on our details and using them against us,‘ he pauses and rubs his hand down his face, ‘But it appears Jayce is rather reluctant considering what happened to you two last time you went.‘
