Heads turned toward the door where a tall figure stepped inside.
Georgia’s eyes widened. “It was you…”
Stanley–the man who had earlier invited Laura to drink–smiled knowingly as he studied the tall man at the doorway and then Georgia.
“Dominic,” Stanley said, “so you know her.”
It was puzzling. How could Dominic know Georgia, a mere cleaner?
Stanley stroked his chin, anticipating the drama.
Preston’s gaze flicked to Dominic
Dominic ignored the stares directed his way and fixed his eyes on Georgia with something unreadable.
He thought to himself, What’s she about to do? Seems like she’s going to kiss Preston’s guard.
A slow smile curled on Dominic’s lips. “I just stepped away for a moment, and already the excitement’s building.”
With hands shoved casually into his pockets, Dominic approached Georgia and asked, “What are you up to?”
Stanley grinned “She made Mr. Hill mad. So he wants her to either drink this bottle of wine or kiss a man in public. We’re just treating this like an encore.”
Dominic nodded, drawing closer with a confident ease.
“Mr. Hill sure knows how to throw a scene. If you want to see a real kiss, why don’t I take the lead this time? I’m no bragger, but if my kissing skills ranked second, no one would dare be first
Before Georgia could protest, Dominic pulled her into his arms.
Warmth spread across her lips as he kissed her.
A rosy fl
flush blossomed across her cheeks.
Dominic hadn’t intended to deepen the kiss, merely a polite press of lips, but Georgia’s allure caught him off guard.
He wanted to linger, to taste more, but suddenly, someone yanked her away.
Dominic’s eyes narrowed in displeasure.
“Preston, give her back.”
Preston’s expression darkened, cold and unyielding.
“She insulted me. No one takes her away before I’m ready.”

Dominic’s eyes met Preston’s with a mix of rivalry and respect. Their packs ruled both enmity and uneasy friendship.

glowed a bright red.
“Hey,” he teased, “was that your first kiss?”

Her blush answered without words.
Unaware of the effect he’d had on her, Dominic was riding a high.
He shot a faint smile at Preston,
“What if I just take her by force?”
Stanley whistled and nudged another man. “Simon, get your phone ready to film this, if we sell it to a magazine, it’ll be
worth a fortune.”
Preston remembered he had already rejected Georgia, that the bond between them had all but dissolved. He believed she’d accepted that rejection.
Yet, inexplicably, rage flared inside him at the sight of Dominic’s kiss.
His cold gaze locked onto Georgia’s lips.
Narrowing his eyes, a dark thought crossed his mind.
Georgia looked away awkwardly, trying to escape his scrutiny. Preston’s intentions were a mystery she couldn’t read.
Suddenly, Preston seized her wrist with iron strength, bending low to lift her onto his shoulder like a sack of grain.
He strode from the room, leaving Dominic, Simon, and Stanley frozen in disbelief.
“Preston, what are you doing?” Dominic shouted, sprinting after them.
Stanley’s mouth hung open, unable to process what he saw.
Simon rose from the sofa, grinning. “Looks like we’re in for a show.”
He followed after Dominic, and Stanley hurried to catch up.
Laura’s face was pale, her feet rooted to the spot. She knew Georgia was walking into a storm–and it was all because of
her.
Guilt weighed her down, but there was nothing she could do.
If Charlotte found out, Laura’s job as a waitress would be over.
She wrestled with herself, desperate to believe, “It’ll be fine. Georgia’s just a cleaner. Mr. Hill’s angry, but he won’t make things harder than they have to be.”
Her whispered reassurance barely eased the gnawing guilt..
Dominic closed the gap on Preston just as the elevator doors slid shut before his eyes.
Frustration twisted his face. He struck the door with a furious punch.
Simon and Stanley arrived in quick succession.
“Dominic, seriously? You want to chase them? This is Preston’s territory. They’re headed to his room. Without the access card, you’re locked out,” Stanley said.
Dominic’s mood darkened further.
The elevator doors opened, and Preston emerged carrying Georgia.
He circled the living room and disappeared into the bedroom.

< Chapter 10
With a sharp bang, the door slammed shut behind them.
Georgia’s head spun. Preston dropped her onto the plush carpet without a shred of mercy.
Before she could gather herself, a sharp pain shot through her chin. She forced her eyes open to find Preston’s face hovering over hers.
“Georgia,” he said, his voice chilling.
She shivered involuntarily,
“You really surprised me today,” Preston continued, voice low and venomous.

“The daughter of the Silver Stream Pack’s Alpha, now reduced to kissing one of my guards. What would Alpha Anthony say
if he saw this?”
Anthony was Georgia’s father, leader of the Silver Stream Pack.
Her face drained of color, and she managed a bitter smile.
“I’m no longer a member of the Silver Stream Pack. They expelled me long ago. I’m just a rogue who crawled out of that werewolf prison. Please… let me go.”
Preston’s eyes flicked to her lips.
Dominic’s bite mark was still fresh.
“Was that your first kiss?”
Georgia’s cheeks burned again.
“Why? Why would you let someone else steal our mate’s first kiss?”
A voice inside Preston’s mind–his wolf–scolded him fiercely.
A tide of anger surged within him, dark and uncontrollable. His face turned ice cold, sanity slipping away.
One hand grabbed her hair, the other tore at her clothes,
“Please, stop! I beg you! I’ll do anything elsel Georgia’s tears fell as fear gripped her like never before.
“Let her go! Let go of our mate, you idiot!” Preston’s wolf roared inside his head.
His movements slowed as he looked at her tear–streaked face, but the coldness remained
Georgia seized the moment.
Summoning every ounce of strength, she shoved him back and bolted toward the terrace.
They were on the fourth floor. If she jumped, she’d likely die..
“Georgia, I’m going to make you suffer! You won’t escape mel” Preston’s furious roar followed her
steps.
But fear was gone.
She drew a steadying breath and leapt into the void.
