Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter

Callahan’s shirt smelled divine. It still had his lingering scent, and I could still recall the way he had raked his my body when I was with him.

There was a definite joy in my body language as I climbed up the stairs, happily humming a tune to myself.

I had reached the floor when I heard a voice.

“Oh, you are back. I was wondering where you’were. I was looking for you….”

I turned around to see Cynthia standing in front of me. She was wearing a long pencil skirt and red shirt and had a pen in one hand while a file in another.

She looked at me, and the smile almost disappeared from her face.

“Oh, hi there,” She said, and I waved at her, not wanting to talk.

“Did you see the Lycan King?” She asked, while returning her attention back to the file. But then she abruptly looked at me again, as if noticing me for the first time.

Or the thing I was wearing. I believe she thought I was just wearing some oversized, baggy shirt or something, but then she peered intently at it.

“Yes, he just went to his room to freshen up maybe,” I answered her sweetly.

“Freshen up?” She asked and I could not help but feel smug about the way she raised an eyebrow. Her facial expressions changed so much that I could easily guess how she was trying to connect the dots.

I wished I had some mind reading power to look into her brain and see all her worries and insecurities laid bare.

I wished I could gloat about how Callahan had spent the night with me, kissing me and wanting me when she kept throwing herself at him and he never touched her.

“Yeah, the night was quite tiring,” I added with a smile, and I loved the way the color drained from her face.

She tried to keep a straight face, but I saw the way her fingers dug into the file, almost wanting to tear it out.

I would have loved tormenting her some more, but then a voice called out from behind me.

“Zee, where have you been?”

I turned around to see Elijah smiling at me. He had a bag slung over his shoulder and a tired face.
