CHAPTER THREE
1657 Words
When Cole's limo finally made it to the Anderson Mansion garage, he heaved a sigh of relief. He loved his grandpa, but seriously, the old man talked way too much sometimes. Cole had sent his Grand dad home ahead of him to the Hill top retirement home and Zach had given his Grandson on their way back a full lecture on the dangers of leaving your Grandad in a retirement home, even for a day.
Cole couldn't wait for his siblings to visit, he honestly couldn't deal with his Grand pa on his own anymore.
The Anderson family was a very powerful one. After all, they possessed enough money and power to buy their very own town. Their parents had been killed in a boating accident some years ago so Cole and his siblings pretty much looked up to their Grandfather as the head of the family now.
They were five in number. Cole, his twin brother, Callaway, then his older brothers Eli and Jack and the youngest and only female, Marjorie and they were all celebrities in their own right, every single last one of them.
Cole rolled his eyes. He found it rather ironic that every last one of his siblings were either billionaires or millionaires, in his sister's case. They were indeed one of the wealthiest families on Earth.
As he stepped out of the car, he breathed in the clean air that could always be associated with home. While his driver took his and Zach's luggage out of the car, he helped his still talking Grand pa down.
"For a moment there Cole, I actually thought that you forgot about me"
" Jeez Grand pa," Cole growled "how could I possibly forget you. I just stopped for a while to breathe in some fresh air."
Cole looked around, raised his nose in the air and sniffed. There was something different in the air, he could feel it.
His wolf was close to the surface again. A possessive feeling clamped over him, making him feel like he wanted to bite, to claim and make his, something he felt was way beyond his reach.
He shook his head, dismissing the feeling as he felt his fangs hiss back. His wolf prowled, restless beneath his skin, like it sensed something it loved and wanted to come out and play.
Cole shook his head again, cold fury suddenly washing over him.
"Where is the dang housekeeper anyway? Great, this is just great, Rose had to retire right now. I wonder what the agency had sent now."
"Not what," a voice as sweet as music said behind him "who"
She stepped around and stood in front of him, her hands folded tightly against her chest.
Cole sucked in a deep breath as he stared at the black haired beauty in front of him. She had black, gleaming hair that grew down to her waist. Her eyes, an unusual jet black colour, sparked fire and he had the strange feeling that he could drown in them.
The glimpses of her skin that he caught was so smooth and flawless and he guessed it came naturally and not from exotic beauty creams.
Her beautiful oval face and delicately pointed noise had him thinking that she belonged on the front cover of some those glossy magazines his sister modelled for.
And then there was her scent. So unique, so sensual. His beast all but growled in frustration as he took large, gulping pulls of her intoxicating scent. She smelled like apples and peaches but there was something else there, a smell that he didn't recognize. One that he would love to find out by stripping her naked, layer by perfect layer until she was open to him, until no barriers, clothes or otherwise, stood between them.
He felt his c**k harden as he imagined all the erotic things that he could do to those lush lips of hers.
Snap outta it you jack ass, he growled to himself, she's your damn housekeeper for f**k's sake.
His wolf however was having other ideas. Cole felt himself move towards the annoyed looking human until he loomed over her. He had to give her some credit, she didn't even stumble backwards in fear, the only trace of her acknowledgement was in the slight increase of her pulse as it hammered against her throat.
Mine, mine, mine, his wolf began chanting. Cole froze and took a hasty step back. This woman was going to be dangerous to his sanity, he thought, better to put a lot of space between them.Could this day get any better? Now he was having sinful fantasies about his housekeeper. In front of him however, Mia hadn't even budged, her growing irritation evident in the stiff set of her slim shoulders and the defiant angle of her chin.
"Hi, I'm Mia. I'm your new housekeeper"
She didn't even stretch her hands for a hand shake. Did she know who he was? This was the first woman he'd ever seen that did not dissolve into a puddle when Cole Anderson was in view.
"Well" she bristled, "since you're not going to apologise to me, you can come on in. Dinner will be ready in ten."
Her soft Spanish accent was like music to the ears. She turned round abruptly and was about to stomp off when Cole reached out and tightened his fingers around her arms in a manacled grip. Was she just about to walk away from him? Not likely.
Mia however reacted to the touch like she had been slapped. Startled, she jumped and her head connected with his chin. He let a long stream of curses that would have made a saint feel dirty.
She spun round, eyes round with shock. Cole saw something like fear and pain darken her jet black eyes but it was gone, so swiftly that he wasn't even sure he'd seen it.
She jerked her arms away and narrowed her eyes at him,
"what do you think you're doing, mister?" her voice trembled with fury. God help him but he loved her mean streak, made his d**k as hard as granite.
Cole would have loved to keep riling his housekeeper if she didn't look ready to tear him apart, limb by limb. Not that he wouldn't enjoy having her little hands on him, now just wasn't the time.
He let her go and she all but ran back to the house, the swell of her hips swaying provocatively beneath the little black dress she wore. He bit back a curse then ran his fingers through his already touseled hair when he realized they were trembled with barely concealed lust. God friggin' damnit!
"Well slap my butt and tickle my toes but that Spanish beauty is a little minx.
Ferocious down to her last silky curl I tell ya."
Cole looked incredulously at his Grand pa, for a while there he'd forgotten that he was still standing there.
"What are you going on about now 'pa" he rasped.
"Mia is one fine lady, don't you think?" his Grand pa winked at him
Cole snorted, Mia was fine alright, but "fine" didn't even begin to do justice to her looks.
Damn, she affected him in a way no other woman ever had, and he'd had more than his fair share of women over the years.
Cole turned to his Grand pa
"yeah she's fine alright, I've got eyes you know . And you're telling me this why? She didn't even say hi to you. Man, she barely acknowledged my presence"
Zach snorted,
"Oh she did say hi to me...I met her earlier. She came around to the car when you were busy taking your breath of fresh air" he rolled his eyes "I think I liked her on sight and damn, if you're not planning on doing anything about her, I damn well will" Grand pa Zach winked.
Cole felt something inside him turn cold at the mere thought of some other man touching Mia. No one touches what's mine, his wolf growled.
He spun around and glared at his Grand pa
"Don't you even dare think about it 'pa or I swear to God I'll..."
Cole stopped talking as he watched a grin spread out on the older man's face. He'd been played and he'd fallen like a fool. God damnit but the women did make it hard for him to keep his sanity.
"It's not me that you have to be worried about. Callaway, Eli and Jack are coming in a few days, you should worry about them touching your woman , 'cause that sexy little Spanish piece is going to be very hard to resist"
Cole growled
"Christ, Grand pa don't talk about her like that. And as for my brothers, I'll make it very clear that if they touch her, there's going to be a very big problem"
Zach stared at him thoughtfully,
"Worried about her finding out you're a Lycan?"
Cole grinned
"Naw, she'll never find out, no one ever does. Just hope that the guys would keep their d***s in their pants and not blow our Goddamn cover"
"And how about you?"
"Me?"
"Do you plan on keeping your d**k in your pants? Do you plan on not touching the little human?"
At the thought of her, Cole's hormones went on overdrive, every damn cell in his body acknowledging the hold she had on him, He gave his Grand pa a hard grin
"Stay away from her? Hell, not likely"
That established, he started his short trek down to the mansion, anticipation making him rigid. He had a feeling that wooing Mia to his bed was not going to be an easy task, but when he finally did succeed, he intended on keeping her there for as long as he pleased.
