My slick is starting to soak into my boxer briefs.If they keep going much longer, I might take them up on a quick fuck in the car before we go back in…

“Mathew?Caleb?Jorge?”Vera’s voice reaches us.

With a quick kiss and a smile, Jorge lets go of me as he turns in the direction of the front of the restaurant.“We’re here,” he calls out as he walks in her direction.

Caleb lets me go slightly, but only enough so I can turn around in his arms, his hard cock now pressing against my ass, my own not going down one bit.

“So desperate to fuck me?”My voice is hoarse as I put my hands over his.

He pushes against me more.“I’ll take anything I can get before I have to go back in there and act all proper in public.”

“Horny fucker.”I lean back against him, enjoying his nearness.

Vera comes around the corner of the building and Jorge immediately wraps his arm around her shoulders, pulling her against him and her easy laugh at his actions makes me smile.Fuck, they’re so good together.

Then, moments later, Derrick follows them and the mood shifts.

That’s not a good sign.

Vera stops in front of us, her face a mixture of happiness and nerves.“The people Riley was waiting for just arrived.She asked if we wanted to join them, since some of them apparently already know you two?”

Tonight was supposed to be fun, not a work dinner.But also, spending more time with Riley is really tempting.

I look to Derrick, what he has to say about it, since it’s his responsibility to keep me safe.

He pulls up a shoulder.“I don’t see why not.Some of them are indeed people you’ve had interactions with before, others are unknown to me, but Tim is working on that.”

Jorge eyes me and then Derrick.“It would probably be good for networking, right?”

“Yes.Tim said that they could bring in more work, of the nearly legal variety, which is good for business.”

My stomach sinks and I step out of Caleb’s embrace.There goes our easy evening, time to be professional.“Let’s do it.Where are they?”

Vera slides her hand in mine, her touch soft.“They rented out one of the back rooms.She said that she’d be waiting for us at the front.”

“Sounds good.”I pull Vera against me, taking in her sweet scent one last time.“Will that be a problem with security?”I look at Derrick, who shakes his head.

“Those rooms are fairly safe and I’ll have some people out in the staff areas at the back, just to keep an eye on things.”

“Sounds like a plan.I’ll see you back inside.”I nod and he walks away, back to the rest of his team to put everything in place.

I take a long breath as I try to become Mathew ‘The Cleaner’ Page, the ruthless Alpha running a strict organisation.It feels strange to do it with Caleb and Vera around, but I’ll have to get used to it soon enough if this going to be our lives from now on.

“Anything we need to do?”Caleb’s posture has changed too, the ease gone, all business now.

“Stick to the plan.Keep an eye out for weapons or people who might pose a threat.That’s all.I’ll be doing most of the talking anyway.You can answer questions or tell them about your past.You’re part of the organisation now, so I guess this is a good first run in how that’s going to work.”

“What about me?”Vera looks at me with determination in her gaze.

“Just be your cute self.This will be the first of many meetings like this.So, see what works for you.”I kiss the top of her head.“Find something you’re comfortable with, don’t put on too much of a character, because it will get tiring after a while.”

I meet Jorge’s gaze, but we’ve done this plenty of times before.The only difference this time is that he’s now technically part of my organisation instead of being a freelancer like he was before.

We’ll have to figure out the details of how that’s going to work soon, but not tonight.

He reaches into Vera’s bag and pulls out a bottle of my pheromone-altering perfume.“Here.”He opens the cap and holds it up.I hold out the arm that I’m not holding Vera with and he sprays some on my wrist, which I rub over my neck.

Better safe than sorry, even though I’m now surrounded by the perfume and have a hard time smelling Vera, Caleb or Jorge.Better that than being found out…
