Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

I awoke on the couch of Rodgers office. A slight stiffness had settled into my neck. I tried to sit up but a large arm was wrapped around my chest. I looked back to see Rodger sleeping soundly. Admittedly he was very handsome, and in his late thirties, with thick brown hair that was long enough to grab and a heavily stubbled jawline. His face was angular, and his skin had a healthy sun kissed glow to it. Being werewolf his body was naturally toned and athletic but unlike most warriors I had seen he was lean and seemed rather weak in comparison.

I moved and felt his surprisingly heavy leg weighing me down and things sliding. Rodger was still deep inside. I looked around then to the clock on the wall. It was 8am.

"Wake up!" I nudged Rodger and felt him gripping tighter as he purred in his sleep and grew hard in me. I grabbed a bottle of water from the side table and pulled it open then poured it on his face. With a start Rodger looked around and grunted then looked to me and smirked. He reached out to wipe my hair from my face and grinned.

"That was a night to remember." He snuggled against me and chuckled. "Oh, morning wood." He kissed my neck. "Use it or lose it?" I frowned.

"It's 8am," He shrugged.

"Earliest I've ever been to my office. I don't need to be anywhere else today." I rolled my eyes.

"Fine, use it. It won't kill me to be a little late." He nodded and ran his hands over my body until his fingers found my clit.

"Your so fucking tight." He began to move his finger in little circles and pulled me closer. "This is an awesome way to get ready for the day." With a thrust he kissed at my neck then began to move rhythmically with low moans.

I closed my eyes and let the feeling of his fingers moving and his thrusting pulse through me. It wasn't long before a shudder of pleasure rolled over me. He breathed heavily in my ear and after another minute he moaned loudly and reluctantly slowed his thrusting until he became still.

"Fuck… best morning ever…" He grinned and took in my scent as his hands still played with my clit. I pulled away and reached for a box of tissues sitting on the side table. Rodger lay back and watched me as I wiped up the mess then frowned as he took a tissue and looked to his dick. "Danica…" I shook my head and pulled on my t-shirt.

"Not now. I'll phone you tonight about when I can fight next." I pulled on my underwear and shorts and saw him struggle to sit up.

"Dam it" he cursed and smiled. "I'll be walking strange for a week." He made it into a sitting position and shook his head. "No, I wasn't going to ask anything about that or beg for more sex, since you're already dressed." He watched as I grabbed the bag of money then open the balcony door. "Wait Danica…" Rodger frowned as I left.

I got back to my apartment and through off my clothes while dumping my winnings onto the bed. I showered and scrubbed myself clean.

The day seemed to be going well as I dressed in a summer dress, light blue with daisies over it, and a pair of blue sandals. I gathered my things for the day and rammed them into my large handbag. My phone lit up and Rodger's name flashed on the screen. I opened the message and rolled my eyes.

'Hay Toots… I realize we didn't use a condom last night. You need me to get anything or better yet just tell me what you want or need or something...' I rolled my eyes and grunted as my phone chose that opportunity to die. I placed it into my handbag and grabbed a charging cable and battery pack. With a slow look I nudged the bag of money and pulled it open then looked at the wads of cash. I pulled it wide then counted out twenty thousand before slipping it into my handbag then grinned.

"What the fuck do you mean I don't buy stuff I simply want." I took another twenty thousand and left my apartment.

Out on the street I wiped my dress smooth then got on the bus flashing my student pass. The ride to the city center was quiet as people would already be at work or were sleeping in. As the bus approached the bank I pressed the button to get off. Politely I waved to the driver then darted inside the bank. I took a look around as I made my way to the machines and pulled out my card. Quickly I deposited twenty thousand dollars, I didn't want to wander around with more than I needed for too long. I saw a few people looking in my direction, but I ignored them and took my card back.

Leaving the bank I decided to head to my favorite shop. I walked quickly down the street, not running but not hanging about, for two blocks then came to a stop outside an old looking music store. Inside a vast array of musical instruments lining the shop's walls and display cases glittered in the light.

Reluctantly I pulled my eyes away and looked at my watch and sighed. I did not have enough time to go in there yet. But that being said I could always drag Jenny and Mathew here later. With a skip in my stride I walked to Nando's café and ordered a large hot chocolate then settled down to wait.

Mathew's POV

"Come on Mathew!" Jenny tugged my arm and hurried me through the streets. "We're already late!" I smiled.

"Not my fault," She rolled her eyes and grinned.

"You were the one who insisted on spending more time in bed this morning." I shrugged.

"You didn't say no." She kissed my lips and sparks began to fly through me as she dragged me around a corner.

"Just move it." I nodded then stopped as a scent caught my attention. Jenny turned to look at me concern on her face at my sudden change.

"What is it?" I frowned.

"I don't know… that scent…" She sniffed and smiled.

"Danica has been here recently!" She pulled me again and I stumbled as I followed her to the café where the sent was the strongest. Inside I watched as Jenny ran up to a tall slender woman with an impressive figure and toned arms topped off with long strawberry blonde hair… Ok red. Her hair was as deep dark red as you could naturally get and her dark green eyes sparkled. My heart seemed to stop as my breath caught in my throat and a strange sense of fear swept over me.

'Fuck… this is Danica?' I watched my mate wave me over and I hesitated for a moment before moving. The few steps it took to carry me over to where they stood was like a living nightmare. I could feel my body moving, it just felt like an ungodly amount of time. I reached out and shook the hand Danica had reached out to me. Her grip was strong and my mind seemed to go numb. Little cold pin pricks trickled down my spine and I forced myself to smile. My heartbeat returned to normal and I released the breath I had been holding. Finally, I introduced myself feeling like an idiot for the awkward silence I was giving her.
