Be Mine.

The meeting

MARCUS POV**

I rubbed my temples after my last meeting with my new business partners.

We are planning to invest in the hospital across the street and make much needed updates to their facilities.

**knock knock**

“It’s open” I say, annoyed at the interruption

“Marcus, your car is ready to take you home”

My assistant Bethany says from the door way. She is an older woman, late 40s. She is a short, plump and her blonde hair is tightly pulled back. She has been with me for 10 years and proven very loyal.

I sigh.. not wanting to go home just yet I say.

“Bethany, why don’t you and your family take a vacation next week?” I keep my eyes shut and continue to run my temples, trying to sound as genuine as possible.

Bethany sighs- “of course sir, I’ll put my notice in with the rest of the staff.”

I take out my check book and write out a check for 5,000 and hand it to her.

“On me” I say before ripping it out and handing it to her

“Oh sir. No I couldn’t- I- I just got a bonus”

“Take it” I look at her sternly and leave the check on the desk. “Clear my meetings for next week as well, I am going on vacation too.”

“Yes sir, I’ll take my leave after I’ve informed the staff.”

I lean back in my chair and nod for her to be excused. I take a deep inhale, and look out my window. That’s when I saw her, running into the hospital.

I don’t know what came over me- my feet moved , my body stiffen, my hunger took control.

Before I realized it, I was in the door way, watching her cry. I wanted to reach out and hold her- I wanted to wipe her tears. That’s when she noticed me, her voice sent a shock wave through me.

I had to get out of there. I ran to the edge of the hallway, panting, I saw her run out, her scent awoken My inner creature, the monster I’ve been hiding-whispered “mine- she is mine”

I leaned back and let him take control- with a low growl, he was fronting. He whispered to me “our love, our passion all for her- we will have her”
