The Alpha King’s Human Mate

Chapter 62 Chapter 62

After several minutes of cuddling, a quick shower, and some lotion for my burning ass, it was finally time for Griffin’s meeting. After my shower, I changed into nice jeans and a pretty purple blouse. I still felt underdressed, but Griffin

assured me that the dress code was casual.

Well, what he’d actually said was, You’re my Queen. Nobody cares what you wear, and if they look at you too long, I’l kill

I figured that was basically the same thing. (2 At least he was dressed just as casually as I was.

“So, what’s the meeting about? Do you know?” I asked as we walked toward the meeting room. Griffin’s long stride was

almost impossible to keep up with, and with his hand in mine, it felt like he was almost dragging me along.

meeting?” he asked, “These aren’t always brief.”

“The subject matter doesn’t sound very boring,” I said, “Besides, it can’t be more boring than waiting for you in an

empty bedroom.”

“If you say so, little fox.” When Griffin removed his hand from my face to open the door, I could actually feel the loss of

heat.

God, am I that addicted to his touch?

I didn’t have too much time to ponder that – Griffin pushed the door open, and my breath caught in my throat. Chapter
