Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate novel Chapter 60

“Dominic, please leave. I am not really in the mood to talk to you at this moment.” Athena said with a scowl while looking away from him.

“Athena? Please calm down.” He requested softly while pulling her hands and held her hands in his.

She looked at him in confusion with tears in her eyes

“How could you do this?” She asked while frowning at him.

“How could I do what?” He asked, acting clueless.

“This meeting! How you insulted me in the closed room wasn’t enough that you called this meeting now?” She shouted while shaking in anxiety and anger.

“Shh.. calm down, Athena. Too much stress is not good for you.” Dominic said in a low voice without giving off any expressions.

Athena scoffed at him.

“Look who’s talking! The one and only reason for my stress.” She snapped at him with hatred.

“Calm down, will you?” Dominic asked while raising his voice a little. He was stressed as well.

“No! I won’t! Get away from me! Leave me!” She shouted and started to squirm in his hold. Suddenly she realised something and looked at him in shock. “And does this meeting include Ace somehow? I swear, Dominic. They are-…” She couldn’t complete her sentence when Dominic stopped her by pressing his lips t o her.

She was shocked it would be an understatement. She just froze then and there. She couldn’t understand what’s happening?

On the other side even Dominic was shocked by his own actions. What is he doing? What was he thinking before doing so? He just saw her getting hyper in worry, she was shaking and he had to do something to stop her. At that moment the only thing that came to his mind was this.

And he kissed her.

Dominic knew the decision was wrong after he pressed his lips on her, because the moment he moved away from her, she would blast in anger because the thing in the bedroom was already messed up. He knew he had to act differently from that moment.

But now they both freeze. They weren’t moving, they weren’t making any movement. They just kept standing there with their lips sealed. For god knows how long. They both could feel each other’s heartbeat which was beating erratically.

After five minutes or so Dominic moved his lips from her ever so slowly and kept his forehead on her. He was breathing heavily but on the other hand Athena stopped breathing completely. Dominic noticed that.

“Breath.” He ordered softly in a breathless tone as she was in a daze, she abided by his order and let out the breath immediately.

She breathed in and out for a few seconds and when air entered her brain and knocked her sense, she looked up at him with wide eyes. Her eyes widened in shock and embarrassment. She felt stupid in front o I him to let Dominic control her this way once again.

“You… you…” She couldn’t complete her sentence as she didn’t know what to say. “Could you please leave?” She finally settled with that while getting away from her. Their closeness wasn’t helping them with the situation.

She had her hands crossed over her chest, popping her boobs up a little bit. He gulped as soon as his eyes landed on that but he immediately looked away. He knew she was actually very pissed and he didn’t want to worsen her mood further just before the meeting. He had come here to lighten it up a little instead. So, he put on a fake low expression on his face and let out a sigh, making her look at him with a raised eyebrow.

“Fine, I will leave if you don’t want me here. I will go somewhere else.” He said while acting disappointed that she was throwing him out. She looked at him with a frown.

“To whom? To that witch, Stacey?” Athena said in a tone which reflected nothing else but pure jealousy. Just when that line slipped out of her mouth, she realised what she said.

“I so want to kiss those pouty lips of yours till you will be begging for breath.” He said in such a strong tone with a hooded look on his eyes which made Athena curl her toes in desire. Her cheeks were flamed red and her eyes were equally hooded in wild imagination. She immediately remembered their encounter i In the bedroom and the blush intensified,

The pout was gone in a blink and she gave his chest a small slap for making fun of her even in a situation like this. They both almost forgot their situation and tension at that moment.

“Dominic! I am serious!” She said with a scowl, trying to get away from him but he tightened his hold around her.

“Sure. We will talk about this tonight when we finish this meeting. Be ready in tracksuits. I want to take

you somewhere.” He said with a smile on his lips and gave her small nose a small peck, making her eyes widened in shock and soon it turned into blush.

“Where will we go?” She asked in confusion.

“You will know soon. But could you promise me one thing?” He asked in a hope filled tone.

“What?”

“Please let this meeting be successful for you and Ace.” He said in a serious yet nervous tone. He was afraid that she would mess it up and get in trouble which he didn’t want. She didn’t know from where she got confident out of nowhere and looked at him with determination.

“You can trust me on this one then.” She said with confidence.

Pecking her nose one more time, he left the office to start the meeting after Athena nodded her head affirmatively.
