Chapter 1 1.
Taylor Sterling
"Auntie I'll have to call you back after work. I am very busy right now and I can't stay on the phone and discuss how Mr fluffy ears pooped in your new sleepers." I rolled my eyes, pressing my cell phone to my right ear with my shoulder.
I was busy at work and my hands were full. I couldn't even hold the phone in my hands and talk with my aunt who didn't want to hang up and me being me didn't want to be rude and cut the call on her. She calls me everyday to check up on me and my new job at Mack Empire as Mr Mack's personal assistant.
Today she called to tell me that Mr fluffy ears, her cat popped in her brand new sleepers. I love my aunt, she is my second mother, took me after my parents died and she has been the only mother figure in my life. I love her but I also don't want to lose my job and go back to stay with her and her ugly cat in her old but warm house in that lifeless neighborhood.
"Isn't it lunchtime though Maria?" She asked using the nickname my dad gave me, her voice thick with concern. She was pushing fifty five and was beginning to sound like an old grandma, but in honesty she was far from being a wrinkly old granny.
"I told you auntie, it doesn't matter. I have to get these papers ready for tonight's charity ball. Now I have to go okay? I love you."
She cheerfully told me she loved me back but not without reminding me to eat. It's been a two weeks since I started working for Mr Mack and to say it was a walk in the park would be a lie. His last personal assistant quit due to the high demand of her hours at work so Mr Mack wanted a new, fresh lady who wasn't lazy or who didn't have much of a life outside. I was happy to hear that because I had no friends or anything, well I have one or two friends that I normally hang out with once in a blue moon and those friends were people I worked with at the diner.
"Ms Sterling are you done with the papers yet?" I nearly jumped out of my skin by the sudden company behind me. Mr Mack walked like a cat I swear. You will never hear him approach or leave. The only thing that would make you aware of his presence is his cologne. Every time he walks past by my desk which is situated right outside his office, his scent would linger for a while in the air.
Mr Mack was a very masculine man, always in perfect expensive tailor made suits and shoes. His brown hair reached just above his eyebrows and he would run his hands through it pushing it out of his eyes. I liked his hair, I liked his eyes,his brown eyes... They were hazel brown, and every time he looked at me I resisted the urge to look right into them.
He had full plump pink-ish lips, his jaw was squared to perfection, tall- an easy 6 ft 2. The man was gorgeous and to top it all, he was Spanish. What amazed me is the fact that he can switch in between accents. One minute he is on a full Spanish accent, the next he is on American accent. It was incredible.
Yes the man sounded like a god right? But get this, he was a ruthless business man. When he says do something you better do it now, immediately Or there will be serious consequences. He hated tardy, untidy and sloppy people. He was always on time but at the same, most of the time never around the office, which leaves tons and tons of work for me. I always ate while working, but if I say I didn't enjoy my work I would be lying. I enjoyed the adrenaline rush, the challenges that came with the job. I loved working under pressure, trying to impress the big bully that pays my salary.
Most ladies here at work always pop up this side unnecessarily to check if he is in or if he would like to go for lunch, or if he can advice them on a certain projects they are handling. But as I said the man was ruthless, he was mean and very rude Jesus!
I remember this one time I was working in his office with him and the lady from finance came waltzing in his office. Her short pencil skirt hugging her curvy body, her six inch stilettos complementing her toned legs, her blouse not entirely buttoned up, leaving a bit of a cleavage on the show. Her make up was perfectly done and her manicured nails were freshly painted with a red nail polish, she looked gorgeous, she was stunning and she knew it.
She walked in and greeted me like she was rubbing off mud on the welcome door mat. She then walked around Mr Mack's huge mahogany desk and rested her hand on his shoulder, purposely leaning on him and showing off her cleavage.
"Mr Mack, I was trying to find money to sign off to the marketing team but I just cannot seem to find where I can cut since we've already signed off this month's budget. They are pressurizing me and it's getting too much." She purred. She actually purred. Who purrs while talking with their boss?
I was stunned and I couldn't concentrate on my work no more. I just kept sneaking glances at Mr Mack and at the lady while trying to make sense of what I was reading in my hands.
"Miss Kent, you are our financial executive, very good at your job, so I suggest you find somewhere else to find the money. I'm sure that brain of yours isn't dead right?" Mr Mack quirked an eyebrow and removed miss Kent's hand from his shoulder. His face held a bored expression. I expected him to be flattered that such a gorgeous lady was fawning over him and presenting herself on a gold platter.
"But Mr Lob-..." She was cut off before finishing what she was about to say next.
"I think we are done here. Next time you want my advice I suggest you call Taylor and set a meeting and hopefully about relevant things. I can't baby sit you and show you how to do your job. Now excuse us we have work to do. Button up your blouse miss Kent and close the door behind you." Not once did Mr Mack take his eyes off his laptop. He still held the same bored expression only now his jaw was clenched.
Miss Kent was so embarrassed that she quickly buttoned up three more buttons up of her blouse and ran out of the office. Her face was flushed and I looked at the door as she closed it and I shook my head.
"That was...rude." I said out loud. I don't even know what prompted me to do so but I did.
"Your opinion was never asked miss Sterling." My jaw hit the floor. How RUDE!! I wanted to say something but I felt my cheeks heating up and I knew that I probably look like a tomato. I kept my mouth shut and my face down as I kept myself busy with the report.

The Lycan Prince's Puppy
5.0
"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
