SWNOVELS Chapter chapter62
Everything was going to shit.
All of the plans I had so carefully made, thought out for so long...ruined thanks to the stranger currently hiding in the bathroom.
If he hadn't pretended to be Roman and stirred up trouble first, I wouldn't have been so nervous that my hands trembled. I was sure that was what had given me away. I'd been around wolf shifters long enough that I had learned to suppress many of my bodily reactions, their enhanced senses so good at picking up any little thing.
What should I do now?
Was Roman going to rape me?
As I was starting to panic, Roman's phone vibrated and interrupted his hand's leisurely crawl up my thigh.
"Beta Starke, your phone is ringing. You should answer it in case it's something important..."
I took his momentary distraction as an opportunity to push Roman away and get off his lap.
Luckily, he didn't say anything and didn't stop me, but the look on his face told me that he wasn't done with me, and he wasn't worried about me getting away.
He took out his phone and looked at it. When he saw the number on it, he quickly answered.
His demeanor completely changed. Gone was the cocky, rough wolf and in its place was a formal, respectful tone.
Who had called that would elicit such a drastic change in him?
Never mind. I could use these moments to try to figure out my next move.
Roman glanced at the contract while speaking. "Is there a problem? Why didn't I find it?"
I couldn't hear what the person on the other end was saying, only Roman's responses.
"Now?" After a pause, he added, "Okay, I'll be right there."
No, no, no.
If I didn't carry out my plan tonight, I'd be done for after the official Westen City project bidding meeting tomorrow! Before I could try to stop him from leaving, he picked up the contract, put his arms around my waist, and kissed me.
"I have something urgent to deal with. Wait here for me."
Oh, this just might work.
Since he hadn't slept with me yet, he'd have more reason to come back.
I could wait a little longer...
