Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel
Dayson closed his eyes and let out a long exhale. Why can’t she just accept her fate, like any normal she-wolf? Doesn’t she know that this was the first time for Dayson to claim a woman as his?
With his right hand, Dayson cupped her left cheek and looked into her honeyed eyes deeply.
“Since I became Alpha of the Shadow Fang pack, no other woman got to stay on this floor, sleep in my bed, call herself Mrs. Blake, or negotiate with me. I am all yours, kitten, from the moment you arrived at this packhouse.” Actually, before that, but he didn’t want to go into details.
For Talia, it all sounded too fantastic to be true. “You are lying.”
Dayson couldn’t believe this. “Another thing, kitten. I never lied to you. If you don’t believe me, feel free to ask around.” He kept some things for himself, but whatever he said, it was the truth.
Seeing that her eyes widened as one doubt was fighting with another, Dayson smiled. He was making progress.
“You believing me or not won’t change the reality, kitten. I am yours. Yours to touch, to kiss, and to hold. Whenever you feel like it, come and get it. And if I see any guy getting funny ideas about you or even looking at you in the wrong way, the only thing he will be seeing is my fist. You are mine, Talia Blake. Don’t forget that.”
His last few words were a growl and for some unknown reason, even though it collided with everything she knew so far, Talia believed him.
Dayson claimed her as his, and he said that he is hers.
Talia smiled a little and relaxed against him.
She took a deep breath that filled her system with Dayson’s scent of the forest and the dark chocolate, and she relished the sensation of safety and belonging.
An unspoken intimacy formed between them with every stroke of his fingers through her hair, and every gentle kiss that he arranged on her face, and there wasn’t a place she would rather be than right there, in his warm embrace.
Talia stirred from sleep and refused to open her eyes because she didn’t want to end a marvelous dream.
In that dream, Dayson carried her to his bed, and then he held her, and they kissed, and then they got ready for the night with Dayson giving her his t-shirt to sleep in. She went to change clothes in the bathroom, and she noticed a minor problem: her panties were wet from arousal.
“I need to get another pair…”, Talia said bashfully while tugging the hem of Dayson’s t-shirt lower to cover herself up as much as possible.
Even in her dream, she knew that her panties were drenched because Dayson touched her down there. Did that really happen, or was it part of the dream?
But Dayson had no intention of letting her leave his room. “Just remove them.”
“I can’t sleep like that.”, Talia protested. Yes, it’s a dream, but she can’t go to bed butt naked!
“Why not? I would give you mine, but as you know, I don’t wear those.”, he said with a grin, and she remembered the scare he gave her in the hotel room when he wanted to remove his pants and demonstrate.
“Don’t tell me you are shy, kitten. I was already down there…”, he said while licking his lips.
Did he drool a little?
Dayson pulled Talia down on the bed and he chuckled while crawling above her. He was wearing only sweatpants and it was difficult not to stare at his toned torso. And his scent intoxicating!
“Why are you so eager to cover up, kitten? Is there something else you are hiding in those panties? I’m curious…”
He moved lower and pulled her panties down and Talia hated that her butt went up, making it easier for Dayson to undress her. Why was her body acting on its own?
Dayson put the tiny fabric under his nose, shamelessly inhaling deeply with a grin on his handsome face.
“I’m keeping these, kitten.”
With her naked under Dayson’s t-shirt, Talia thought that he will do something outrageous, but he didn’t.
Dayson laid next to her and cradled her in his arms, and then he kissed her and caressed her hair, and it was the best thing ever.
Who would want to wake up from such a dream?
But no matter how much she tried to avoid it, she was awake.
Talia’s eyes fluttered open, and she inhaled the intoxicating scent of the forest and the dark chocolate that was all around her.
She was in Dayson’s bed.
Talia’s breath hitched when she realized that she was wearing only Dayson’s t-shirt. She was panty-less.
Is it possible that was not a dream?
She swallowed a mouthful of air as more detailed images flashed in her mind.
Last night, they came up to watch a movie, but there was no movie-watching because they were kissing, and she remembered him unbuttoning her pants, and… Oh, God! That was NOT a dream!
But, where is Dayson?
She touched the bedsheets on her right, where Dayson should be sleeping, and they were cold. He was gone for some time.
She lifted her head and spotted a note on his pillow.
“I had to start my day early.
When you are ready for work, join me in the study.
~ Dayson”
Talia remembered that this is her first day as Dayson’s assistant.
Oh, no! She is late for work!
Talia swiftly scooted out of the bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
Her steps halted when she saw attached to the door of the bathroom a hanger with a light blue pencil skirt and a blazer, and there was a white shirt and blue underwear also.
She recognized clothes, they were from her closet, and she bought all of that when Dayson took her shopping.
A note was attached to the left breast pocket of the blazer: “I look forward to seeing you in this”.
It was not signed, but Talia knew it was from Dayson. She smiled when she saw blue shoes on the floor. He thought of everything. And it’s matching.
She hurried to get ready.
…
Talia entered the study and saw that Dayson was talking to Maya and Jaeden.
They were seated on chairs around the coffee table that was full of scattered documents.
Talia didn’t want to interrupt, so she stood on the side and waited for them to acknowledge her presence.
Dayson was neat in dark gray pants and a light gray shirt that fit him perfectly. Talia confirmed that he looks good in anything.
He didn’t wear a necktie, and the unfastened top button of his shirt gave him a less official vibe.
The tight swell of the shirt over Dayson’s chest reminded Talia of the perfect landscape his body forms and she could feel her cheeks heating. Last night was not a dream!
Dayson’s eyes moved over Talia in approval. She was wearing the outfit he prepared for her, and her hair was pulled up into a messy bun. Talia wanted to style it, but her knowledge of hairstyling was limited to a ponytail, a braid, and a messy bun. Since the first two seemed childish, and this is her first day at work, Talia opted for the bun.
After exchanging morning greetings, Dayson beckoned Talia to come closer.
“We are nearly done with this. Until then…”, he gave her a laptop. “This one is yours. The password is the date you came here. You can sit at my desk. Go through my email and sort it based on urgency. If there is anything important, I want to check it before breakfast.”
Normally, Dayson starts his workday super-early with a cup of coffee, and he has breakfast later. Since Talia arrived at the Shadow Fang pack, Dayson was starting his work later (if he worked at all), and the piled-up work showed it.
Talia accepted the laptop apprehensively. “How do I know which ones are urgent?”
“You will know. I trust your judgment.” He ended with a wink.
Talia liked that he said he trusts her, but at the same time, it was a lot of responsibility.
