In Bed with the Alpha Boss: A CEO Werewolf Romance Chapter 16

Gabrielle.

Sebastian stares back at me for a long moment. If he is shocked, he doesn’t show it. But Sebastian has always been good at hiding his thoughts and emotions from other people, even from me.
Well, if he thinks I’m only after his money, then so be it!
I’m dying anyway. I would never live to see the day that he feels something other than lust for me. So, why bother changing his opinion of me?
Then without a word, or any hint of emotion on his face, he walks towards his desk, draw out his checkbook and write something in it.
No way! Is he calling my bluff?
When he hands me the check amounting to one million dollars, I can hardly believe my eyes.
Is this really what Sebastian turned me into? A gold-digging wh*re?
I don’t remember much about my childhood, but before I worked for Sebastian King, I was all about academic accomplishments and having pride in what I do. But during my time with him, I did things I never imagined I would be doing.

Love does make you do foolish things.
And this check is a firm reminder of things I never thought I would be.
Putting on a brave face, I raise my chin at Sebastian and give him a proud smirk.

“This is not about the money, Mr. King. I deserve this money, not because I was good in bed. But because you… destroyed me!” I grip the check tightly in my hands as I blink back the tears. “You destroyed my life! You shattered my dreams of ever becoming a mother! Because of you, I am going to die alone and miserable!” I raise the check in my hands. “So, I am accepting this check, not because I’m a wh*re, but because it’s the least you can do for destroying my life!”
“No, Gabrielle… listen…” he stammers. For the first time since I have known Sebastian, he genuinely looks like he has no idea what to say.
“No, Sebastian. You listen,” I say in a firm voice. Then I threw the check on his face. “Here. I am returning the fifty thousand dollars you paid me for this month. The nine hundred fifty thousand dollars is yours. I am paying you to leave me the f*ck alone!”
He walks towards me with definite precision, that it almost made me lose my confidence.
“What the f*ck did you just say? Are you really out of your

“No! For the first time in two years, I’m thinking straight.” I turn on my heel and pick up the coat from the floor. “You already told me to take the day off. So, if you don’t mind, I’m going to enjoy what’s left of my evening.”
I head for the door.
“Don’t turn your back on me!” he growls as he grabs my wrist. I don’t fight him; it might make him angrier. “Why are you doing this?”
“Doing what? Taking your money? Or using it to pay you to stay away from me?”
“I don’t need the money! I’m not accepting your money!”
“Too bad. Because I’m giving it to you anyway. And if you don’t let me go now, I will have to call the police and file for harassment.” I narrow my eyes at him. “It would mean a lot of money for me. And a lot of damage to your spotless reputation. You don’t want it to get that ugly, do you?”
The fury radiating off of him was so strong that I could see the lines of his veins pulsing on his forehead.
He takes a step towards me, and I take a step back. He moves closer, and I retreat until my back hits the wall, blocking any further escape.
Sebastian smirks, realizing that I am trapped between the wall

and his body.
“Get out of m-my way…” I stammer.
4/6
I’m not scared of Sebastian. I know he won’t hurt me. It’s my body I’m afraid of. Because I know that if he so much as kisses me, I will melt in his arms, and I will take back everything I just said to him just now.
“Hmmm… you’re so confident now, huh?” He looks down on the coat on my arm, running a finger over its fabric. “This is expensive,” he says. “Let me guess. You found another rich man to f*ck you, huh?”
His tone is angry and condescending.
Is this really what he thought of me after all these years?
Don’t dwell too much on it! A part of me says. ‘He’s angry. He doesn’t know what he’s saying.
“Tell me! Is he the owner of this coat? Is he waiting for you in front of the building?”
“Get off me, Sebastian!”
I make an attempt to push him. But he is quick to catch both my hands and trap them both over my head. Now, I am really hopeless to escape.
“What’s he like? Is he good in bed?” he asks.

His hand slowly descends and comes to rest on my breast. His thumb starts to move in a slow circle, eliciting a soft moan from my lips. He carefully begins to massage my nipple. I can feel my p**sy start to weep.
Sebastian closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. “Hmmm… I can smell your arousal,” he whispers. I am not sure if he can really smell my wetness, but he’s always right. “Can he make you this wet?”
His hands continue to travel down my body. He slides his hand underneath my skirt, teasing my inner thigh. I bite my lower lip to suppress a moan.
“See? Just one touch, Gabrielle…” he whispers in my ear. His finger trails up to the very top of my p**sy, near the crease of my thigh. “Just one touch, and you forget about any other man. You are mine! And I’m not good at sharing.”
This brings me back to my senses. I am able to free my hands and give him a push.
“I am not yours. Not anymore!” I growl in anger. “You can’t keep doing this to me, Sebastian! And maybe there is another man. And he’s not only rich, he’s a pretty stand-up guy! He is not keeping me a secret! And he has the balls to stand up for our relationship. Something you will never be man enough to do!”
Anger flares up in his eyes as soon as he hears my words. I can see his face turning red with anger, and suddenly, his eyes seem like blazing fire in their sockets.

6/6
For a moment, he doesn’t look human. He looks magnificent, divine, and if possible, even more beautiful.
Then as if he’s trying to get ahold of his emotions, he turns away from me. He punches the coffee table behind him, and it instantly broke in half.
“Get out!” he says in a low guttural voice. “Leave now!”
“Sebastian…” I whisper, scared that I have gone too far.
“I said, LEAVE NOW!”
