Her Billionaire Werewolf Stepbrother (15 page)

“I didn’t find the association
between you and Leeann.”

“I changed my name to take my
mother’s name when she died. I blame my father for her death and I didn’t want
his name attached to me in anyway. Leeann and I both hated him, more so now
that I’ve lost my sister and my mother.” Jake nods and I see that he is pulling
up Michaela Stone and the screen fills. He clicks to email and sends a note to
security. He’s having her records checked further back.

“I can put you on the security
detail for now until you’re trained then we’ll see. If you don’t work out
though you will not pull anymore shenanigans in my building.” She nods. “I will
prosecute.” She nods again.

“Thank you Mr. Williams. Thank you
for the opportunity and for Leeann.”

“Wait in the waiting room and
someone will come up to get you acclimated. You can start today. If that’s
acceptable.” She nods.

“Thank you.” She stands, shakes his
hand and goes out to the waiting room. She sits on one of the couches. Jake
picks up the phone. I’m still sitting there. Jake lifts his mug and gestures to
the coffee machine. I take the mug and go fill it for him then put the chair
back where it goes. I’m heading back to my desk when Jake snaps at me and
motions me over to his side. The doors to the office slide closed.

“Mack, I want you to come down and
fetch Mikey Robertson. She was just hired to work in security. I want her on
personal detail and I want her trained. She’s starting today. That’s all for
now.” He hangs up. “What do you think of her?” I shrug. “You said she was
funny. Does that mean you like her?” I know where this is headed. He didn’t
wait a second.

“Jake I do not need a personal
guard. It would be a waste of talent to pin her to my side. Use her where she
is most beneficial. Put her in IT security or better yet put her with your
lawyers in the IT division, I know you have one.” He gives me a sharp nod. “I
don’t need a guard.”

“I say you do.” He growls. Crap.

“Do you think I am unsafe sitting
at my desk right outside of your office? You can protect me here and at home.
You protect me and they can protect you. It all works out. I don’t think she
would be happy protecting me anyway. She wants to fulfill her dead sister’s
request and protect you. Let her.” He’s considering it. “I think she should
work with the other panther guy, they could get together and make…”

“He’s mated.” Jake cuts me off.
Damn. I was hoping to play matchmaker.  “Okay Jane, for now you can have your
wish. Check my email please.” I look at his screen full of email. “I want you
to get into the habit and be familiar with what is going on.” I’d rather surf
for cat videos but whatever. The office door opens and I see Mack leading Mikey
to the elevator near my desk. She gives me a little wave and I wave back. She’s
going to be around so I may as well make friends. If he has his way we’ll be
fastened at the hip.

Jake is coding. I can tell because
he’s hunched and pounding his keyboard. I’m getting hungry. It’s lunch time and
I wonder what his procedure is for that. Do I order something or go upstairs.
“Jane.” He says without looking up.

“Yes Mr. Williams.” I call sweetly.
He looks up from the screen and past me into the waiting area. I stifle a
giggle.

“Call the diner, there’s a menu in
your desk and have lunch sent up.” There is a chocolate milkshake in my future.
I start scrambling through the drawers. “Get me a burger, cheese, lettuce,
tomato and bacon.”

“Is that good?” I say still looking
in the drawers.

“The best.” I find the menu and
dial. Within seconds I have two cheeseburgers, onion rings and a milkshake on
its way. Jake said we don’t pay for anything but I feel weird about that. I go
into his office. He’s banging the keyboard again. I wonder if he has to replace
it often.  “Have you checked email?”

“Yes. I’ve taken two messages too.”
I have the pink papers in my hand. He looks up and I hand them to him. It was
weird. Both of the gentlemen that called didn’t ask to speak to him, they said
they would like to leave a message for him. Jake reads them both and sets them
aside. I hear the door slide closed. “The guy is bringing lunch, why did you
close it?” Jake clicks the mouse then stands up and comes around the desk.

Jake grabs my face and kisses me
deeply, desperately. I stop thinking and let him have his way. I wonder what
brought this on. He reaches under my skirt and trails his fingers up my leg. My
heart starts beating harder. I wrap my fingers around his tie and crumple it in
my fist.

His hand is on my behind now and I
arch into him. “Do you want this?” He asks breaking the kiss. “I only meant to
kiss you but you seem like you want more.” I moan into his mouth kissing him
again. Jake spins me around and puts my hands on the back of the chair that I
sat in earlier. He picks my skirt up and pushes my pantyhose down. The air is
cool on my skin. I do want him. I never thought I would want this much sex but
it’s him I think. If it were someone else I probably wouldn’t be this needy. I
hear his belt hit the floor and he’s inside me in an instant. His breaths are
heavy in my ear and his mouth wet on my neck. I want to look at him but I don’t
want him out of me.

“Jake.” I mewl. I sound pathetic
but it’s how I feel. He’s so thick and hot inside of me filling every desperate
inch. He’s ramming himself into me and it’s just what I need. My gut is thick
with desire and my womb clenching in anticipation. I feel it trembling and
working itself into a frenzy. His fingers are squeezing my nipple through my
blouse. I arch back against him and he moans close to my ear.

“Come Jane, strangle my cock.” I
clamp my muscles down on him hard as my knuckles go white. I’m giving him all
I’ve got. “Jesus!” He’s loud. People will hear if anyone is outside the glass
doors. “Jane, come!” I can’t hold off any longer. The twisting trembling desire
that was working itself around my center detonates. My core clenches harder
than before and flutters around his thickness. I feel him swell and pour his
hot seed into me. His balls aren’t slapping against me anymore. They’ve drawn
up so they can coat my womb. He’s so engorged it almost feels like what I read
about. Wolves swell sometimes to ensure maximum transfer of sperm. It’s called
the tie. I hope this isn’t that. I wanted sex with Jake but I don’t want to be
stuck in this position for the next hour. “I love you.” He signs against my
neck. My knees are shaking now. He hasn’t pulled out and I’m nervous about the
possible tie. I’m going to ask him about it if this isn’t it. If that’s a
possibility then there will not be desk sex very often. Jake lets me go and I
relax. I turn to look at him and he kisses me.

“I love you too.” His eyes are dark
and smoky. I love it when they’re like that.

“Stay there, I’ll get you something
to clean up.” He goes to the private bathroom in the corner and comes right
back with a wash cloth. I need to check that out. I thought there was just a
toilet and a sink, now I wonder if there’s a shower. Jake slips it between my
legs and cleans me, then uses a hand towel to dry where he’s wiped. I put my
clothes right when he’s finished. He goes back to the bathroom to get rid the
towel and cloth. I smooth my skirt and check my reflection in the window. “You
look perfect sweetheart.” Jake is back and straightening a new necktie. I make
a face. “You crumpled the other one.” He winks and pushes the button on the
desk to open the glass doors.

Our lunch bags are sitting on my
desk. I feel my face get hot. I search the room for anyone who may have
listened to us but I don’t see anyone. “Bring that in here Jane.” I pick up the
bags and the milkshake and go back to his office. I still feel hot. “The glass
is sound proof, no one heard us.” I bite my lip. He was loud and how sound
proof can it be? I’m still not sure.

Jake points to the coffee bar and I
make a face then I remember the table in the corner. I take the bags there and
unpack them. The onion ring smell hits my nose and I drool. They are truly a
work of art. The batter is delicate and flakey. I shove a small one in my
mouth. It tastes even better than it smelled. Jake comes over and sits across
from me. He digs right in.

“After lunch we have a meeting.” He
says and takes a draw of my milkshake. “You should’ve ordered two of these.” He
sucks more of it down and I raise my eyebrow. That’s mine.

“You should’ve asked for one if you
wanted one.” I say and grab it away from him. I taste it and nearly orgasm
again. That’s incredible. It’s cold and sweet, chocolatey heaven. He’s not
getting one more sip of this. I suck hard on it and Jake laughs.

“You can keep it sweetness.” He
bites his burger and groans. “I swear my diner is the best in the city.” He
gets up and goes to the little fridge and gets a bottle of water. “The meeting
will be in conference room four on the eighth floor. Get off the elevator and
go left.”

“I’ll just follow you.” I say.

“No. I want you to arrive before me
and listen to the room. You’ll get there ten minutes before me, I’m going to be
five minutes late.” I don’t understand. “Just listen to the room Jane. During
the meeting I will introduce you and you will take notes.” I nod. “Good.” He
says and opens a ketchup packet to squeeze all over the onion ring. I’d rather
dip mine. I don’t like it when the ketchup gets warm. I want it to be a cold
bite on my ring.

Jake eats quickly and I wonder if
he ever gets indigestion eating that fast. His cell rings and I roll my eyes.
“None of that.” He scolds. I roll them again. We’re alone, if I want to roll my
eyes at my mate I will. “Williams.” He says and takes a drink form the water
bottle. I finish my burger. We’re having this again tomorrow. I could eat this
every day without complaint. Jake gets up and walks away from the table. I
clean up like a good assistant or whatever I am. I wipe the table as best I can
with a napkin. He needs a spray cleaner in here because we’ve left grease on
the table. I look around and I think that Jake can use a couch too. He needs a
sitting area that isn’t him glowering down at you from his desk. If I moved the
plant he has there closer to the window there would be plenty of room.

“What’s circling up there?” He’s
behind me with his hands on my shoulders. I melt back against him. “None of
that, you have a meeting to go to, but what were you thinking just then?”

“I was thinking if I moved that
plant to over there that there would be room for a couch, a coffee table and a
chair or two.” I cock my head and study the corner. This office is beyond big
and looks barren. I’m no decorator but I think it needs more furniture. He rubs
my shoulders then goes to the desk. He returns a second later while I am still
studying the corner.

“Call this number, tell her what
you want and she will have it bought and delivered before you know it.” Hmm.
The decorator woman, the one fascinated with beige. “No leather.” He whispers.
“I want something warm and comfortable under you when we christen the new
couch.” Oh. “Now go to the meeting. Take your steno.”

“Yes sir.” I jump when he smacks my
bottom.

I take the main elevator to the
eighth floor and find conference room four. There are several people already
here. Most are sitting quietly and either chatting or looking at their notes. I
wonder what this meeting is about but I don’t ask anyone. Jake should’ve told
me. I sit in the middle against the wall. I think I’m blending in when a man
sits next to me. “Hi, I’m Bryan.” He offers his hand and I take it. We shake
but he wants to hold on longer than I want him to. I finally get my hand back.
“I’m the IT supervisor.” I nod. “I haven’t seen you around before have I?” I
shake my head. “Where do you work?”

“I’m just an assistant.” I say
vaguely. I hope he doesn’t probe but he does.

“For who?” How am I supposed to
listen to the room if this guy is going to start the inquisition? I have no
choice but to answer him.

“I work for Mr. Williams.”

“We all work for Mr. Williams.” He
says grinning at me. “Which section do you work in?” I wonder if he’s always
this dense. Jake comes in then and a lot of people have filed in that I didn’t
notice. He glances at me then at Bryan.

“For all of you that haven’t met
her,” he gestures to me and motions for me to rise. Crap. I hate attention.
“This is Jane.” He says when I finally stand. “Jane is my personal secretary.
All correspondence will be directed through her as stated in the memo you all
received this morning.” I sit and Bryan whistles low through his teeth.

“You weren’t kidding.” He says very
softly. I give him a small smile. He sits back in his chair and since he’s on
the side of me that has to look past me to see Jake, I feel like he’s studying
me during the whole meeting. If I’m right, Jake will eat him for dinner. I
might help, he’s a little creepy for my tastes. Jake drones on about some app
they are almost ready to unveil. I’ve seen him on TV before unveiling an app.
It seems a little over dramatic but he’s the billionaire so I he must know what
he’s doing.

I take notes and listen. I watch
two women on the other side of the room texting to each other. They keep
glancing at Jake. I would normally assume that they were checking to see if
they would get caught like in college. I don’t think this is the case. I think
they are checking him out. He’s mine. The red head smirks at me. I raise my
brows. I’m not going to call her out today but I will if this continues. That
looked like a challenge. I have no fear of her butting into my relationship,
Jake won’t allow that. He loves me and for the most part wolves are monogamous
once they mate. I mean cheating happens but it’s rare. I see her nose flick and
I wonder what she is. I will ask that.

Jake is issuing orders to the
people around the table. Her name is Rhonda and she will be handling publicity
with the media. So she’s either PR or Media Relations. I’m not sure of the
titles yet. Bryan will be coordinating his staff to get the app perfected
before the unveiling in two weeks. “Jane will help beta test.” Shit that’s me.
I nod but I don’t know what I’ve just been given to test. Everyone gets up and
leaves the conference room. I sit in my place. “Did you enjoy your first
meeting?” Jake comes and sits next to me.

“The guy sitting next to me…”

“Will be dealt with. He was trying
to see down your shirt.” I knew it. “Don’t sit next to him anymore.”

“He sat with me. When I sat down no
one was on this side of the room yet.” Jake takes my steno and looks at my
notes. I’ve highlighted his points, scribbled responses and assignments.

“You need a laptop.” I smirk. My
handwriting is sometimes below par but I can read it. “Why does Rhonda’s name
have horns over the ‘R’?” Jake grins.

“She and the blonde a few chairs up
from me were texting about you.” He shrugs. “One of them has a crush.” He
shrugs again. “Rhonda gave me a smirk and a challenge.”

“She’s had it bad for years but I
was never interested. I like brunettes.” He winks. Looking back, most of the
women he brought home did have dark hair like mine.

“Well, I can’t wait until she finds
out who I am exactly then.”

“If you’re ready to announce that,
we can.” Jake leans over and growls in my ear.

“No. You know how I feel.” He nods.
“What is she anyway? She was too far to scent.”

“Human.”

“I saw her nose twitch Jake.”

“Maybe she has allergies, but she
is human. Everyone in the room today was human.” Good to know.

“Is any of your staff besides
security not human?” He thinks then shrugs.

“I don’t discriminate.” I chuckle.
No, no one could accuse him of that. His cell rings. I tuck my steno under my
arm and follow him. We are going to the elevator. He’s on the phone all the way
up and into his office where he sits at his desk. I go to make him a coffee
when I see him playing with the mug. He holds onto it and moves the phone away
from his face.

“Water please.” I go to the mini
fridge and grab a water. It’s the last one. I bring it back and go to my desk
to check email. I check his first. Where do they all come from? He’s received
nearly thirty emails and we were gone less than an hour. I go through them one
by one taking notes. I think it’s better if I write them down and mark what I
think I should do before I actually do it. He’s still on the phone so I check
my email. I have two. One is from Bryan welcoming me aboard. He sent it one
minute ago. I write back a hasty ‘thanks it was good to meet you’ “but not
something I want to repeat.” I say quietly. The other is from security saying I
need to come to the main desk and redo my thumb print. Jake is banging on his
computer. I get up and go in his office with my steno.

“I think this is the best way to
handle this.” He’s curious. “I jotted down your emails and what I think I
should do. Let me know if I’m right or wrong.” He nods and I read them off one
by one. I got most of them right. Good. I tell him about security and he says
to go right away. I tell him about Bryan’s email and he lifts a brow but
doesn’t say anything except to go get my thumb printed. He’s going over the
emails while I do that.

I’m standing in the car headed down
when it stops on one of the floors and a few men get in. They don’t pay
attention to me. I think this is the law floor but I’m not sure. They’re
talking about the new app. They think its designer copied it from someone else.
I think that’s illegal. They can’t prove it yet and they think that it will be
unveiled before their search goes through. The doors open into the lobby and
they walk out ahead of me. I get my thumb print done again and head back
upstairs.

Jake is staring out the window when
I get there. I go inside and stand beside him. “There’s a problem with the new
app.” Jake looks down at me. “I heard some guys in the elevator, they think
it’s a copy of someone else’s work but the search thing isn’t done yet. They
don’t want to tell you because you scheduled the unveiling too soon.” Jake’s
jaw muscle works while he thinks about that. “Also, where do I get more water
bottles? You’re out.”

“My secretary takes care of that.”
He grins.

“Okay. Where does your secretary
get more?”

“You can bring them down from the
pantry, same with the coffee.” I go over to the elevator and ride up. The
painters are finishing. It looks nice. The door is plain white and looks metal.
The walls have been painted my least favorite color, beige. I have to admit
though it looks nice. I think we should hang pictures or put out plants or
something though because it’s a little boring. I’m not sure how I get in.
There’s no handprint thing like on Jake’s office, or a keypad like the elevator
and I don’t have a key. I’m waiting for the elevator to go back down, when it
opens, Jake is standing there grinning. He holds up a keyring and waves it at
me. “Sorry.” He says and goes to open the door. I’m standing behind him
wondering if I will need him to escort me in and out of our apartment for the
rest of my life when he gives me the key. “That’s yours.” I look at the keyring.
‘Hers.’ Is etched into the metal tag that I suspect is not steel but probably
white gold. When did he buy this?

Inside I go straight to the kitchen
and open the pantry. Two cases of water are stacked in the bottom. I see the
coffee on a middle shelf. I didn’t notice all of this the other day because I
was focused on cheese curls. Jake leans in and picks up a case. “Do we need a
whole case?” I ask. It seems silly to take the whole thing down at once. “You
should get this delivered. The water company will bring it to you.” He puts the
case back.

“Set it up. For now bring as many
as you can carry.” I look around in the pantry. If Jocelyn is like everyone
else in America she has a stash of grocery bags somewhere. Bingo. In the bottom
and stuffed into one bag are more spare sacks than I’ll ever use. I grab one
and fill it with loose water bottles and a box of coffee. Jake is standing in
the living room on his phone. I roll my eyes and go out the front door to the
elevator. I get in and go down to the office. When I get there Rhonda has her
butt perched on my desk. I see her when I get off the elevator in Jake’s office
and cross to the coffee bar. She sees me and follows. I open the fridge and
start lining up the bottles.

“He’s mine you know.” She says
behind me.

“Who is?” I turn and look up at
her.

“Jake Williams. I have dibs. I’ve
been working on him for a year and you aren’t coming in here and stealing him.”
I chuckle. I finish with the bottles and stand.

“Really? Is that what you think?” She
looks mad so I decide to play with Rhonda. “Let me clue you in honey, I’m more
interested in you than him.” I cock my head and she looks horrified. I don’t
know why it didn’t occur to me sooner. If word gets around that I’m into women,
it takes care of the developing Bryan problem and throws the rest of these
bitches off the scent. Rhonda backs up. Rhonda backs away from me.

“I’m straight.” She stutters.

“Are you sure?” I ask playfully.
The elevator doors open then and Jake comes out. His face changes when he sees
Rhonda and I squaring off. “Mr. Williams, I’m glad you’re back. Rhonda has
something urgent to meet with about, it’s a matter of life and death.” I wink
at him and go toward the door. Rhonda snarls at me. For a human, she is pretty
good about that. I close the doors and grin wickedly at Jake. He knows
something is up but he’s not sure what. I text him quickly and tell him what
she said. I can’t hear them but nobody is yelling ‘Jane come’ either.  I think
I will turn the speakers up on his computer and close the doors to test his
sound proof theory because I don’t believe it. The doors open and Rhonda
hurries out.

“I’ll get you for that.” She hisses
as she passes my desk. I watch her go then I go to Jake’s office and close the
door.

“You belong to her.” I say and plop
down in the visitor’s chair facing him. He scoffs. “I don’t get to come in here
after she’s worked on you for a year and steal you away.”
