Come for me, Maria. Ride me. Fuck, just like that.
Yes, Alpha. Possess me. Our moans rip through the office, but it’s our connection that screams it all. The sound of the lust in his voice drives my orgasm. I cry out his name as I come. “Josiah.”
He covers my mouth with his. You’re mine. Your sounds are just for me.
No one’s here. Maybe just the receptionist. Let her hear, and then she’ll know you belong to me.
She doesn’t want me.
Blind man.
She doesn’t flirt with me.
That’s the only thing keeping me from slamming her head on the desk.
Bad girl.
He spanks my ass hard, thrusting upward until he roars out my name, coming deep inside of me.
I rest my head on his chest until we’re both calm enough to move. We’re a sticky mess, but I don’t care. He helps me fix my pants and then fixes himself. When we step out, I blush because Nancy refuses to make eye contact with us. Good. She’s lucky I need her assistance, but she’s going to be moving to another department if she looks at Turner with that longing in her eyes again.

Turner
We leave the offices for the day and head over to the hospital where Daphne and my cousin are with the newest addition to the pack. Maria picked up a pretty gift for Daphne and then one for the baby. When I arrive, I’m greeted by Daphne’s mother and father. “Alpha Turner, Alpha Maria. It is an honor to have you visit.”
“Thank you, but it’s my honor. Daphne’s not only a great assistant, but she’s also family. Besides, I’m always thrilled to introduce my mate to everyone.”
“How is the new family?” Maria asks.
“They are well. Visiting hours are nearly over, but I’m sure they won’t have a problem.” I look at the time on my watch. She’s correct. It’s nearly nine. We’ve been working hard and then had to stop and get a gift. We say our goodbyes and then head up to her room.
“Knock, knock,” I say, pushing the door open just slightly
“Turner,” Elijah calls out in a loud whisper. We enter and they both bow their heads lightly.
“Enough of that. How’s the little one?” Elijah brings the bundle over to us. I take her in my arms and smile. She’s adorable.
“I’d like you to meet the little princess, Ariel.”
“Oh my! She’s beautiful,” Maria says, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Forgive me. Daphne, Elijah, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to my mate, the lovely Maria.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Alpha Maria.”
“Yes, we already had our first conversation. I can say that you’re one amazing woman. I don’t know how I would have made it through the day without your many notes. We brought a little thing for the new mama and baby.” I set the presents on the table next to the bed. “How long are you in here?”
“The labor was a little longer than expected, but we’ll be going home in the morning. Your mother will be back to check on me.”
“Great, so you’ll be back just in time for the grand opening,” I tease.
“Sorry, Alpha, but she’s got to rest,” Elijah says.
“I’m kidding, but knowing Daphne, she’s anxious about tomorrow.”
“You’re right about that, but I’m sure you’re in great hands.”
“Yes, you’ve become my second favorite assistant.”
“I’ll take it. I’m so happy for you. At least that means you’ll stop being a grumpy asshole.”
“I couldn’t help it. My wolf was restless.” Maria plays with the baby’s strawberry blonde hair, and I wonder if it’ll darken like Daphne’s or lighten like Elijah’s.
“Can I hold her?”
“Of course.” I hand the little baby girl to Maria.
“You’re good with babies,” Maria says.
“I’ve been around for a lot of new babies. Pack members are happy to show me their babies. Trust me when I say you’ll get all the cuddle time you could ever want, love.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever get enough. I have a lot of nieces and nephews, and this never gets old.”
The baby starts to let us know that she’s hungry by hunting for Maria’s chest. “Hey, that’s mine.”
Laughing, Maria hands the baby back to Daphne. “He’s a bit possessive.”
“Just a bit,” Daphne teases.
“We’ll leave you to it. Take it easy. I mean it. The both of you. I don’t expect to see you around for a while, unless we come to visit. Understood?”
“Yes, Turner.”
We take our leave and I bring Maria’s hand up to my lips, kissing it as we wait for the elevator. “I dread and welcome the day you bring our little one into the world.”
“Dread?”
“I never want you to suffer, my love.”
“Thank you for finding me.” We share a brief kiss before the elevator opens up to the lobby. We walk out, smiling, knowing the best is yet to come.
It’s opening day and the guests are piling in, the restaurant is set up, and my mate is looking beautiful in a pair of snow pants and a coat. We’re going around welcoming guests and checking with the instructors who are already taking their first students.
