Chapter 12 - Sam
I chewed on the edge of my pen as I stared at my papers. I couldn't get the conversation out of my head with Jay last night. I kept going over it again and again. I kept hearing his words and felt my body heat up.
I hadn't realized how hard up I was until I was sitting this morning. I kept shifting in my chair, and my underwear was grinding against my clit. It was almost painful, and I inhaled slowly.
Damn it, Jay.
My mind traveled to our kiss and how he shoved me against the wall and pinned me. How his mouth felt against mine and how rough he was yet how he was so gentle at the same time. It was infuriatingly perfect.
I chewed harder on the pen, feeling my teeth sink into the cap. I closed my eyes and took another deep breath in.
Get it together, Sam. You are at work. You should be focused, not letting your mind jump around.
There was a knock on my door, and I pulled my gaze up, finding Rhea. She was the receptionist, and I got along with her really well.
"You look deep in thought."
"Sorry, I just have a lot going on."
She smirked. "I imagine so with the man you're married to. I was just letting you know we have that meeting later today."
I glanced at the clock, seeing it was almost noon. The meeting was at one. I glanced back at my paperwork, knowing I needed to take a break and pull my head together.
"Thanks, Rhea. I think I'm going to go grab lunch before the meeting. If anyone asks, can you just let them know I'll be back in about forty minutes?" I grabbed my purse from under my desk and pulled myself up.
"Sure thing."
"Do you want me to bring you back anything? I'm going to run to that cute bakery down the street."
She shook her head. "No thanks. Mitch dropped off some lunch for me."
I gave her a soft smile. Rhea was a sweet girl who found herself a lovely guy. I had wished it for her. She deserved it.
I left the office and headed to the bakery. I ordered myself a small sandwich and a cup of coffee and perched myself in the far back corner. I was just about to dig in when I noticed Katie standing in line making an order.
I watched her for a moment, taking her in. She was certainly different, even her clothes were odd. But she seemed nice. She was clearly intelligent.
Katie looked past the girl she was ordering with and spotted me. She gave me a smile and made her way over to me. "Fancy seeing you here."
"I work just a few buildings down," I said, pointing my finger out the window toward my work. "What brings you this way?"
"I was visiting a couple." She sat herself down across from me, and I couldn't help but smirk. I was going to ask her to join me, but it didn't look like she needed to be asked.
"Visiting?"
She nodded. "I was just checking on how things were going. I do monthly visits."
"I didn't realize you were that type of a doctor."
Katie blushed. "I have a few degrees. While I would much rather spend my days in a lab looking under a microscope, I also know that you have to do other parts of work to do that."
"If you don't mind me asking, how much do you know about shifters and the supernatural stuff?"
Katie raised an eyebrow. "I mean, my work is pretty broad. I work with all walks of life, and I've come across many different things I didn't even know were real. Was that something in particular you were wondering about?"
I wondered how I could ask her about the magic and what she knew without giving myself away. I didn't want to give too much information when we didn't know what I was gifted with. But even if I started looking in books, Katie was clearly a smarter option. She had gone to school for years and probably took classes around it. She was the one a lot of people were looking to for answers so maybe she knew something for me.
"I have a….client," I said, choosing my words carefully. "And she broke a glass in my office. We were under the impression she was human, but we thought maybe not."
