Chapter 4 Ch 4 - Visitor

Brayden

Jacob's deep voice spills from my phone and sends a warm shiver through my body. "Baby, I miss you and Hunter. I wish you two were here with me."

Ah, an image of him with his plump pouty lips and his puppy dog eyes pops into my mind.

I shake my head and stare out the window at the dark night sky. The clouds were building earlier, and storms will rumble through here in the night. However, right now, it is silent, but you can't see anything except a pitch-black night sky.

I shake my head. "You were the one who sent me here. Now live with it. Plus, you had really wanted to go on this trip with your parents."

That annoying feeling returns. There is something more to this trip than what he is telling me, but I'm not in the mood to fight and push it away.

Hunter quickly chimes, "Yeah, Jake. You were the one to send our gorgeous mate away. Now you have to suffer."

My eye twitches at the word mate. I'm not their destined mate, but only a contract one. When they find their true mates, I'll be tossed to the side like a pile of garbage. I'll be left alone to heal my broken heart and deal with the loss of my friends.

A sharp pain shoots through my heart. I don't want to think about it.

Suddenly, an image of Zack's tall, god-like body and handsome face pops into my head. What the heck?

I quickly shake my head. No. I have to work with him tomorrow. I can't be thinking like this.

I take a deep breath.

"Bry, are you still there?" Hunter's concerned voice echoes in my ear.

I nod. "Yeah. I'm still here. I was just thinking about the things I need to do tomorrow."

Hearty laughter fills the air as I put my phone on speaker and set it down on the windowsill. I then turn my attention back to the blank sky.

Hunter teases, "We were talking seductively, and you were zoning out on work. That sounds about right. This is why we came to your office for our special night." His voice drops to a deeper tone as he says the last few words. His subtle reminder has images of that night floating through my head.

Their firm naked bodies grinding up against mine, while I moan non-stop from the pleasure only they know how to give me.

My core throbs as the sounds of our loving making echoes in my ear. The warmth of their rough hands gliding along my delicate skin sends pleasure coursing through me.

My mouth falls slightly open as a soft moan threatens to bubble out of me.

Knock. Knock.

My heart skips a beat as I whip around and stare at the door. Who in their right mind would come to talk to me at this time of night?

Jacob grunts, "Who is there?"

I shake my head. "I don't know. I'll go check."

After doing a quick once over of myself, making sure I look presentable, I clear my throat and walk to the door.

As I open it, I nearly choke finding Zack standing there like a super model leaning against the door frame.

Gulp.

I ignore my quickening heartbeat as I give him a look of contempt. "What do you want? I'm about ready to go to sleep."

He snorts and shakes his head. "I doubt that. Anyway, I want you to be downstairs in the lobby at 8am sharp to begin our day. I don't like people being late. Plus, we have a lot to cover."

Who does he think he is?

My eyebrow raises as I snort back. "You could have told me that when we were eating supper. You didn't need to come to my room and tell me. Next time, if you don't tell me something like this before I go to my room for the night, unless it is an emergency, don't think about coming and knocking on my door. It can wait until the morning."

Anger flashes through his blue eyes as he pushes himself off the doorframe. His eyes burn holes right through me, but for some odd reason, I don't mind.

As the air grows thick, Jacob's stern voice booms through the room. "You will obey our mate's request or else." He practically growls out his last word while another low growl fills the room, too.

Zack glances over my shoulder at my phone resting on the windowsill and grunts, "Don't worry. I'm not going to touch your mate. I don't like your kind. The only reason I'm here is because my brother has demanded me to work with him."

Your kind. The two words circle around in my mind while the disgust in his voice shoots right through my heart.

However, I don't know why his words have such an effect on me. I've run across others who have said even harsher things, and it didn't bother me like this. I hate this.

I narrow my eyes at him and tighten my grip on the door. "Good. Then you can go now. I've got your message."

As anger boils up and steam rolls off me, I take a step back and swiftly slam the door in his face.

UGH!!! That man irritates me!

As I breathe fire, I turn and storm back across the room to my phone. Hunter's concerned voice does nothing to soothe my growing frustrations. "Baby, calm down. I don't have to see you to know you want to rip everything apart in that room. Just focus on us and taking care of your alphas."

Jacob's soft voice adds, "Yeah. You can only worry about us. What can we do to take your mind off the idiot?"

I press my lips together and stare at the phone. I don't know if anything can relax me now.

Suddenly, Hunter happily chimes, "Let's have phone sex."

What? How is that going to help?

I shake my head and snatch the phone from the ledge before I spin around and march over to the bed.

This better work.
