Chapter 8 - Mates

As I start writing out a list of all possible pastries I can make for the breakfast there is a knock at my door. I tell the person to come in and hold on a second. I am still writing when his scent hits me. After that I loose me train of thought and my mind goes blank. I look up at him and he is smiling at me. I can't help but smile back at him. He steps around my desk and takes my hand then pulls me to my feet. He puts his hand on my cheek and I can't help but lean into it. He smiles wider and then leans in and kisses me. Then I just melt into him. After a minute we come up for air, he puts his forehead against mine and I can't help but ask.

"So I guess this means your my mate then?"

He starts laughing then he says," Lets go to my office, we will have more privacy there."

I grab my notebook then we go to his office. Once we are inside he takes the notebook out if my hand and tosses it on the table. The next thing I know we are on the couch where I am on his lap and we are kissing again. I wrap my arms around his neck as he wraps his arms around me. Once I pull back to catch my breath he starts smiling at me again. As his hands are gliding up and down my back he starts talking.

"I'm sorry I waited so long. I have wanted you from the moment I met you. I wasn't expecting to find my mate that day so I came as Daniel. I had a share holders meeting and you confused me so much. I barely manages to get through the meeting without loosing my mind. Then when you didn't seem to respond to me I was so confused. I forgot who I was that day. Then when I came as me and you still didn't respond I started getting upset. How could I tell you were my mate and you didn't seem to know. I checked your file and didn't see anything about a pack so I started thinking you were human. I'm so glad you went to Eric about this or we would have been wondering forever. He explained a few things to me and I now understand why you waited. I'm glad you want to be professional at work but I will admit it is going to be very hard for me. Right now I'm trying to make up for a weeks worth of missed opportunities. I would like you to come home with me tonight. I don't want you to freak out but I am the Alpha of my pack and you will now be my Luna. So i would like to mark you as mine."

"Well I guess it's a good thing I took the bus to work today. I can catch a ride with you. What is the name of the pack? Alpha explained a few things about you but said it was best to get the whole story from you. I would love to be marked by you. But won't they start talking, Alpha said you had issues with your shareholders I don't want to cause you problems. I'm not sure I am good enough to be your Luna though, I don't even know who I am."

"Sweetheart just calm down we can talk about all of that later. My pack is called the Blue Ridge pack. Tomorrow is your day off so we will spend the day together. I am already scheduled off for meetings. We will use this time to get to know each other and enjoy our time together. We will go out to dinner first and get to know each other better. Would you like to go to dinner with me?"

I smile and nod my head at him as I lean down and kiss him again. Then I pull back and stand up. I have to laugh at him because he starts frowning at me when I go and sit down in the chair and grab my notebook. I look over at him and smile then I point to the chair.

"Dominic we need to get to work. We can explore each other later for now we need to talk about your breakfast meeting. You want at least a dozen pastries but didn't give me a list of possible items. Now if your a good Alpha you can kiss me when we are done, right now we need to work."

"Damn sweetheart I like the way you take charge. Okay I will do as you say as long as I can do a little exploration after the work is done."

I agreed to his terms and for the next fourty-five minutes we came up with a breakfast menu. Once that was done we were back on the couch and as we were kissing he had his hand up my shirt while my hands were traveling all over his back and ass. About ten minutes later his phone started ringing as he turned and gave it a murderous glare I had to laugh. He gets up and answers the phone he tells the person to hang on then he pushed a button, he looks at me and point to the spot in front of him. I smile as I get up and walk over to him. He leans down and kisses me. After he breaks the kiss he tells me he will meet me in my office at five and I grab my notebook and leave.
