Marie’s POV.
The Eleven.
“Come on, Elena.”
“Can you stop being a pain in my ass, Marie? How and when did you start getting so attracted to men? I wished it was someone else, but Clark? Rex’s beta? Hell no, Marie.” She scowled as she proceeded down the hallway.
“What do you expect me to do? Can’t you see how every girl that drops by is drooling for him and Rex? Two fucking hot men.” I whimpered as I poked Elena.
“You are insane.” Elena said with a smile that escaped her lips.
“I know you want nothing to do with Rex but can’t you just help hook me up with Clark?” I shrugged as I held her arm, tilting my lips and letting the air fill my cheeks a bit.
We both burst into laughter as everyone around us turned to our direction as they stared at us for a while.
“Okay, enough of Clark’s talk.” Elena said in a serious tone as she continued walking down.
We finally parted ways as she took a different elevator which led directly to Rex’s office. I still couldn’t get myself to understand why he was so interested in her after five years of being away.
And on the second hand, what if he was only here because he realized that Elena had kids and nothing more? I groaned at the thought of it as the elevator doors opened and I rushed in, and surprisingly, the last person I ever thought of to enter a tight elevator was Clark.
He had his hair neatly brushed backwards as he wore his black pinstripe suit and then, a black coat on top of the suit.
He was considerably tall, about 6. 2, I couldn’t really say, but I was right beneath his jaw.
“Good morning, Sir.” The workers all said in unison.
“Darn it!! Why didn’t anyone tell me they were going to greet him?” I groaned as I was the only one who didn’t say a word.
I stylishly raised my head to look at him as he stood directly next to me, and my eyes caught with his, like he was giving me bombastic side eyes.
I whimpered as I quickly looked away. I felt embarrassed and luckily for me, I didn’t tremble today. I still couldn’t explain why being close to him made me get uneasy, and I tend to become the girl version I turned off years ago.
I believe in order to survive here, you don’t need to show off your girlish side. Kick some damn ass, and that has always cost me my jobs. I chuckled softly at the thought of it and I once again stylishly looked at Clark and again, his eyes met with mine.
I cursed within as I was now getting really nervous. “Why is he looking at me?” I shrugged as I began to hum, with my right shoe, tapping the ground at intervals.
“Are you okay?” I heard Clark’s husky voice, and my eyes went wild immediately. I felt my wolf sprawling inside me in so much excitement.
“Did he just talk to me?” I smiled within as I frowned outwardly, then I raised my head to meet those piercing, dazzling eyes again.
“Yes!!” I briefly answered as I quickly looked away out of embarrassment.
I pinned my leg to the ground as I folded my lips to avoid humming again.
I didn’t know if I was the only one that felt like the elevator was too slow than usual, and taking too long to reach my destination.
I cursed myself as I felt my girlish side come up as my body began to react to his masculine scent. “Darn it!! Why now of all time?” I whined as I held my bag really tight.
This was really the wrong time for my body to start reacting to the stupidest things. Just his masculine scent was already arousing me.
I could feel my wolf longing for him, but then, how was that even possible in the first place? I chuckled softly as I looked at the other staff who stood at my left side.
I forced out a smile which wasn’t appropriately reciprocated but then, I was trying to get my mind off Clark.
He had a beautifully built physique and still looked pretty young in that coat. And there was no way that no lady wouldn’t notice him. His strong perfume covered the elevator and then, he began tapping the ground gently with his right leg.
“Am I lusting after him?” I furrowed my eyebrows as I found myself loving the sound he made with his shoe. I was currently acting like someone with a very high libido.
But then, for years I have remained single after my last breakup with that stupid scumbag. I flickered, rolling my eyes as I exhaled gently. “Or maybe I just never met the right men until now, and that is why my body was reacting this way to his presence.” I scoffed.
And as everything was going back smoothly, I was slowly gaining full control of myself, the unexpected happens, sending me off my guard completely again as I shrieked, panicking this time around as our eyes met each other.
Something jolts between us, and I freeze, my eyes going wild in shock, and also in embarrassment.
His hand had greased my butt as I turned to him immediately. My cheeks flustered and my forehead became a bit sweaty.
“Damn!!” I heard one of the staff gasping.
“Oh! My sincere apologies.” He quickly apologized as he looked at me. “That was really unexpected and unplanned.” He chuckled softly as he looked at me.
I looked at his bold expression as he apologized and for me, embarrassment flooded me, like I’ve just been soaked, completely drenched by rain.
I raised my eyebrows in humiliation. Knowing his hand just greased my ass was far more humiliating than standing right next to him.
I lowered my head this time around, trying not to disgrace myself.
