She shrugged, holding out her hand for my jacket.
“ Sarah,” she said, “now stopped standing around ruining everyone’s appetite. Follow me.”
Sarah led the way down a long hallway that took us to a very large lounge area. Sarah tossed my coat on one of the nearby sofas and began to fan her face as well. The way she was dressed made it difficult for me to believe that she was even bothering to fan herself from the ever present heat. She was wearing nothing but a skimpy cloth that covered her most intimate parts.
Sarah was very lovely. She had beautifully tanned caramel skin and long dark brown hair. She was definitely considered an exotic beauty. She walked over to me and grabbed my hand causally, gesturing toward the man standing by the fireplace, his bare back turned to me, only wearing a pair of blue fitted jeans. His body was sculpted perfectly, it was as if I were merely admiring a statue of perfection.
“You asked for Aiden, and here he is.” Sarah offered. Aiden still hadn’t acknowledged me, and I was starting to believe that it was because of my strong and unbearable perfume.
“Before you go, will you please explain to me why you are here?” I asked her. I was dying to know why she would choose such a life. She would never be considered one of them and if they were using her, it was merely for breeding what they called mutts. Half-breeds that were never generally accepted into their society, and they spend their entire li ves playing both sides of which neither species would accept them. If Sarah was hoping to become one of them, she could forget about it. The process didn’t work as it did with Vampires. You couldn’t just turn into a Werewolf. You were born into their world or not at all. Sarah still didn’t answer. Instead, she stared at Aiden as if he were a piece of meat.
“Maybe we’ll talk after your mission.” She suggested. “I’ll leave you alone now.” Sarah walked out of the lounge, closing the large double doors behind her. Slowly, I made my way over to Aiden. He held his hand up and I stopped dead in my tracks.
Chapter 5
“Must you be so rude? I extend a hand of help to you, and you enter my home with such an unwelcoming stench.” He complained. The annoyance in his tone was blatantly obvious.
“My apologies,” I said, and I wasn’t sure why, “it’s protocol for my protection.” I explained softly.
Why was I being so humble to him? This Werewolf was no friend of mine, he was my enemy. However, for the sake of the Agency, I had to do my duty and work with him, even if that meant addressing him as a King.
“Forgive me,” I said bowing my head, “I meant no harm to disrespect you or your pack.” I burned me to tell him that. I didn’t owe him anything. In fact, when all of this was over I would personally add him to the watch list, waiting for him to make a mistake so that I could terminate him.
Aiden turned to face me and I gasped from his beauty. I knew what to expect when I accepted the mission to work with him, but even his most recent picture did not do him any justice. He was unbelievably stunning. Aiden was very tall, standing a little over six and a half feet, his body was ripped with muscle, there didn’t seem to be an ounce of fat on his body. He had a face full of stubble, as if he hadn’t shaved in days, and his chest was hairy. I shook my head from the improper thoughts of running my fingers through his hair chest. Aiden smiled and approached me. I stiffened, remaining absolutely still. I was intelligent and witty, but I also knew that I was standing in front of something much older and more powerful than me. I was also unarmed. Aiden leaned into me and sniffed me frequently. He wrinkled his nose from the smell of the wolfs-bane, but it didn’t seem to bother him as much as it did the others.
“ Your scent is well hidden behind the wolfs-bane, making it difficult for me to read you. I do however, smell you arousal for me. Unfortunately,
