Escape

POV: Vinny

Cinnamon Apples.

'Mate,' Seven said as she became restless.

Sevens confirmation was the only thing I needed to turn on my heels and head back in the opposite direction. I tried not to look like I was in a rush. I didn't want my co-workers to see me panic, but I probably should have kicked off my shoes and ran as fast as I could.I did not get out of there fast enough. He must have smelled me too. Niko was probably stirring in his head as well. I heard the door of the meeting room close and half a second later, I was pinned against the wall. Gio took a long whiff in my neck before looking at me.

"Vin," it's been almost two years and this man's voice still sets my body ablaze.

"Get off of me."

He took a step back, looking me over.

Not wanting a confrontation in front of watching eyes and listening ears, I turned to walk to my office. I hoped he understood that I didn't want to make a scene.

I turned back around, but he wasn't following me. Now that there was distance between us, I thought about running again. But I figured it would be best to just handle this situation head-first.

"Are you coming?" I tilted my head, signaling for him to follow me.

My wolf just whimpered the whole way about how Gio looked tired. She wanted us to be with him, said it would help him sleep.

When we got to my office, I let him walk in first, closing the door behind me.

Quickly, he pushed me back against the door, locking the door. His scent was so strong, I couldn't help but take in as much as I could. Stupid mate bond.

I walked over to stand on the other side of my desk, putting some distance in between us.

"Vin."

"What do you want, Alpha?"

Gio always hated when I would be formal with him, but he is officially the Alpha now, so why not?

"Don't do that, Vin." he growled at me.

The way he is looking at me feels like no time has passed. Like there was no bad blood here. Like we were still in love. Or is it just lust, now?

"Do what, Alpha?"

"Don't be so formal with me. I know what you taste like," he slowly walked closer to me. "I know how to make you scream. I know everything about you, Vin."

"I am not the same person I was, Gio." I flattened my lips, trying to keep my breathing steady. He was so close, and he was right, he knew everything about me.

"Well, based off of the smell in this room, I still get you aroused," he said as he closed the last bit of distance between us.

I thought he was going to kiss me... but he stopped. His eyes turned red, rage filling his eyes while they bored into mine. His head tilted slightly. If I was being honest, he has never looked more psychotic.

"Who is he?" he growled. Niko was coming through.

"Excuse me?"'

"The guy, Vin! Who is he?" his canines started protruding, Gio was losing the battle to his wolf and Niko was not happy. I'm guessing Seven never mentioned Tristan. "I can smell him all over you!"

"It's none of your business who you smell on me."

"Oh, but it is my business," Gio said as his and Niko's voices joined together. "My mate, my business."

"You are not my mate, Alpha." I emphasized the 'alpha.' "Not anymore."

"There was no rejection, so like it or not, you are still mine, Vinny."

"Fine, I will reject you now, and just end all of this." Gio was already in my face, stone-faced. After I didn't immediately reject him, he smirked, leaning back against my desk, opening his stance so that I was now standing in between his legs.

"Go ahead, reject me," his hand started to caress the exposed part of my thigh, then moving to my inner thigh.

'No! You can't reject him!' My wolf howled inside of me. It hurt me to hear her in so much pain, but I don't think I would have been able to say those words anyway. Seeing him in front of me, feeling his touch, I know I still have feelings for this monster.

His hand slides up under my dress. "I'll do it, Gio."

"Mhm," he said as he started to lay kisses along my jaw then down my neck.

I know this is wrong. How could I let him touch me again after killing my family? But it also felt so right.

He sucked on my neck, licking and kissing all over me. I relaxed too much and let a small moan escape me.

"I missed that sound," he said as he gripped the back of my neck, tilting it to give him more access. He moved that hand to unzip my dress while the other moved dangerously close to my core.

"Tell me, does your boy toy make you scream the way I know only I can?" He asked with so much confidence.

"Gio-" I didn't want to give him the satisfaction, even though my body was betraying me at every turn.

I didn't even notice he had moved my panties to the side before he slipped his finger into my soaking wet core.

"Tell me, baby, do you want me to stop?" he asked quietly. I could feel he was worried about my answer. Maybe he wasn't as confident as he was portraying.

His thumb caressed my cl*t, making my legs feel weaker. As he starts his assault on my c**t, he adds another finger, and starts thrusting his fingers faster, making my head fall back.

"I need answer, baby. What do you want me to do?" He stares into my soul, waiting for my reply.

"I... need-" I stopped and bit my lip, not wanting to admit what I wanted. My orgasm climbed all the way to the top.

And he stopped, pulling his fingers out of me and walking away from me.

"Don't worry, Vinny." His tone was different. "I'm not going to f*ck you."

'What?!' Seven could not believe it, according to her, Niko couldn't believe it either.
