Losing Control Read Free

filled the room, and Kyle had to hold in a sigh. He wanted what the three had. Kyle glanced at Shawn and saw the other man watching him. He had to fight every instinct in his body to go to the other man and give him his own kiss. He bit the inside of his cheek, using the pain to pull himself together.
    Instead of kissing Shawn, Kyle nodded in greeting then walked around to the other side of the table. Shawn’s lips quirked. Yeah, apparently he knew Kyle didn’t want to be any closer to him than he had to be.
    Kyle placed his file in front of him as he prepared for the meeting. The room started to fill with other staff members, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t totally ignore Shawn. Every time he peeked, Shawn was there…sitting back in his chair watching him.
    Kyle tried to pay attention as Mac went over a big contract the company had been rewarded. But Shawn’s presence was distracting him and his bodily needs were urgent. Since most of the department heads were also wolf shifters, he knew if he wasn’t careful everyone in the room would know he wanted Shawn. As it was, Trevor had sent a few curious looks his way already.
    Kyle missed Mac ending the meeting, lost in his own thoughts. He let the room clear out before he stood. Or tried to. Of course it didn’t look like Shawn was in any hurry either.
    Kyle kept his head down as he headed towards the door. He wasn’t surprised when Shawn blocked his exit.
    “You’ve never dropped your eyes to anyone but our Alpha. Why are you doing it now?”
    Kyle took a deep breath before he met the other man’s gaze. “Why are you really here?” he asked, instead of answering Shawn’s question. He hated himself for asking but he couldn’t help himself. This man was his mate.
    “I told you. I came back to claim you. You are my mate,” Shawn told him sternly.
    “I knew that two years ago. What, you just figured it out?” he accused.
    Shawn shook his head. “No.”
    Before he could continue, Kyle interrupted, “So you did know. I thought so.”
    “I knew,” Shawn admitted softly.
    “But you didn’t want me before.”
    Shawn shook his head immediately, and Kyle held up a hand to stall his argument. “No, you already proved you didn’t. Well, maybe now it’s me who doesn’t want you .”
    Shawn gasped in surprise and Kyle used the moment to slip past him. Even though his wolf was howling inside for its mate, he continued to walk from Shawn.
    Better to stop any further hurt now than to have his heart broken later…again.
     
    Bree Winters paused at the trunk of her car and watched the man she’d met earlier that day stomp to his car. He was so ruggedly handsome, she didn’t see why everyone in the parking lot didn’t stop to stare. While the man was obviously upset about something from the set of his shoulders and frown on his face, it didn’t take away from his attractiveness.
    She’d asked around and found that Shawn King worked in security. Actually, he was head of security and the brother to the VP, Trevor King.
    She definitely thought Shawn looked more cut out for security than businessman. The muscles in his shoulders and arms stretched and rippled as he pounded his fist against the door of his SUV.
    The fit of anger probably should have frightened her. Instead it was an incredible turn on. Her panties were soaked with the juices from her arousal. She slid around to the passenger side of her car so she could still keep an eye on Shawn. He now sat in the driver’s seat with his head bent. Every instinct she had as a woman wanted to run and comfort him.
    But common sense prevailed. She didn’t stand a chance with a man like Shawn King. She was just Bree —the graphic designer that liked to wear jeans and colour her hair. If she took her heeled boots off, she would be able to see the rainbow of colours she had painted her toenails.
    No, Bree was much more at home in comfortable clothes with bright colours than a little black dress.
