I had sensed her presence way before she appeared in my line of sight. My werewolf instincts had picked up her scent the moment she was within a few miles of where I was sparring with the tree trunk. The fresh morning air had graciously carried her delicate fragrance to me. I was actually getting familiar with her scent, her mix of wildflowers and something uniquely hers. It was a scent that had become quite disturbingly familiar over the past few weeks. I couldn't stop it though. She was always everywhere, in the dinner room, at the corridors, at the stable, ah and last night, we were just so close to each other.
I continued to pummel the tree trunk, and I continued to pretend to not have noticed her, while I enjoyed having her watch me.

The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce HER GAMBIT
Rebecca strolled confidently right into Myles Jameson’s office, the click of her heels were muffled by the expensive as shit, plush carpet beneath her feet. She rolled her eyes, once again reminded of what a rich ass punk Jameson was. The door swung shut behind her with a soft thud when she entered, and Myles who was seated behind his polished mahogany desk could barely look up from the papers in front of him. His fingers tapped rhythmically against the table as if he already knew what kind of storm was about to crash into his otherwise organized day. Why was she in his office? He wondered. He thought she said she was done with him. "Rebecca," he said tersely as he glanced at her. "I believe we've discussed knocking." He reminded her. Rebecca let out an eye roll and her lips curled into a smile, a hint of amusement playing on her face as she sat down without waiting for an invitation to do so.

The night air was crisp as Rebecca stepped out of Myles’ car, she allowed her hair to cascade over her shoulders in loose waves as she fixed her lipstick in the side mirror. She glanced at Myles through the reflection, and smirked as she caught his stare. Tonight wasn’t really about business—it was about putting on a show, and she intended to do just that. It had been a while since she last met with the group and she wanted her come back to look grand. She was their main character after all. "Ready for a good time?"

He hadn’t said much, but she could see the gears turning in that head of his. He hadn’t refused her offer, and that’s all she needed for now.
