Emma perplexed

CHAPTER 3:

NATHAN'S POV

One minute passed and we were immersed in a passionate kiss.

In the next second, the lights came on and I placed a soft kiss on her lips.

"Hmm..." She groaned as she pressed against my chest. Her hands were wound around me and it was like she didn't want to move away from me.

Suddenly there was a loud shout, "Boss, are you in there?" I heard someone scream and Emma came out of her dazed state.

Immediately, she stood up to her feet as she scurried to tidy her clothes.

"Yes, we are in here." She shouted back, turning her face away from me.

Standing up to my feet, I cleared my throat as I felt really awkward.

"Please, relax, we will get you out soon." We got another reply from the elevator technician.

On the other hand, Emma was jittery and I wanted to hold her in my arms again. The feeling of her luscious lips against mine was magnificent.

I could not get enough of the way her body pressed against mine.

"Emma..." I called out although I didn't know what to say to her at this point.

"Yes, boss." She said, turning to look at me. My lips were drawn into a thin line as I stared at her intently.

My eyes bore into her and I gulped, visibly.

On the other hand, Emma couldn't stand my scorching gaze as she fidgeted on her feet. She bit her lips, seductively and this action overlapped with Mia's action earlier this morning.

"Never mind..." I said, as soon as Mia's face popped into my hand.

Immediately, Emma turned her back against me and I clenched my fists.

"What have I done?" I asked, my wolf.

"What do you think?" He asked back, with a low whine.

"Are you hiding something from me?" I asked, in a skeptical tone. I could feel his affinity toward Emma whenever we were around her.

"Don't think too much." My wolf said in response and immediately receded into the deepest recess of my mind.

I was left in my own thoughts as guilt overwhelmed me.

I couldn't think straight. I couldn't believe I had kissed my secretary while my mate was waiting in my office.

However, I knew I felt attracted to Emma. I had feelings I couldn't describe for her.

On the other hand, I was in love with Mia. I can't bear parting from her.

"You are greedy!" A thought popped in my head. I was starting to accept that fact because I couldn't comprehend how I would have feelings for two beautiful ladies.

However, I couldn't control what I felt. On one hand, I felt like I had violated Emma but on the other hand, I felt our kiss was just right.

"Arghhh..." I groaned, as my hand roved over my hair.

"What's wrong, boss?" She turned to me and asked.

Her worried and meek look set me off guard.

"I'm okay..." I said, in an almost shaky tone. I started to feel stuffy and all I wanted to do was get out of the elevator.

At this moment, I realized I had a meeting to attend and I just wanted to get it done with.

A few torturous minutes passed and the elevator dinged.

It opened up and Emma rushed out immediately.

"Finally!" She exclaimed and I frowned.

"Does she want to get away from me?" I asked myself as I stepped out of the elevator.

There were a few technicians just outside the elevator but then I didn't have time for small talk.

On the other hand, Emma was talking with them and I didn't like the attention she was giving.

She had just run away from me and now she's talking to someone else.

"To the meeting room, Emma." I said, suddenly, walking forward.

I didn't bother to look back but I could sense her apprehension.

Her heels clicked as she ran toward me in fright.

Soon, we were in the meeting room and a group of shareholders were seated around a wide table.

Immediately I got in, they stood up in greeting. My aura commanded respect. Added to the fact that most of the shareholders were Werewolves and they should respect an Alpha, anytime.

"Sit!" I said, as I walked toward the head of the table. My eyes were sharp as a hawk. On the other hand, Emma who was a few steps behind me sat by my left.

"Hello, secretary Emma." One of the shareholders, a Werewolf, greeted and Emma smiled.

Her smile was wide and welcoming and I realized she had never looked at me that way.

"Hi..." She greeted me and I snorted inwardly.

I wanted to knock her head for her foolishness. She failed to notice the look of lust in the shareholder's eyes.

Most Werewolves love sex and that was what the shareholder wanted.

He was about to reply to Emma's greeting but I quickly interrupted.

"We have no time for chitchats!" I said out loud. My voice reverberated through the boardroom sending fear toward Emma and the shareholder as my eyes were on them.

I didn't like the look of fear in Emma's eyes and for a moment, I wanted to pat her and apologize. However, I held myself back.

The meeting proceeded and Emma ran around the board room to cater to my requests.

Two hours passed and the board room was empty. The meeting had ended but Emma sat beside me, flipping through some documents.

There was a sheen of sweat on her nose and I wondered if she was alright.

The room was fully air-conditioned and she shouldn't feel hot.

"Do you have a fever?" I asked, with a frown on my face and she turned to look at me.

Her doe eyes widened and I sucked in a cold breath.

"I need to leave!" I said to myself, knowing I wouldn't be able to control myself around her.

Immediately, I stood up to my feet and walked out of the boardroom, leaving Emma perplexed.
