Alpha’s Virgin Stripper

Lake:

I sprung up from the bed before sunrise. I wanted to be gone before she could wake up to see me. I wanted to be gone before she could flutter her velvet eyelashes at me, and cause me to place kisses all over her body.

I would go back on my word, and my resolve would weaken immediately, so I knew it was better to leave when she was sound asleep.

I did not bother to take a shower at the villa. Red came to me as a light sleeper, the tiniest noise could wake her up. I found myself tiptoeing out of my own room, with my clothes in my hands. I didn’t stop until I was down the stairs. I got dressed in my living room and hopped in my car.

I made a quick stop at my house, showered, got dressed, and drove to work immediately. I needed to do a lot of office work because I needed to stop myself from thinking. I got to my office building and walked in. It was quite early, so my receptionist was the only one I met in the building.

She offered me a cheerful smile, one which I struggled to return. She understood, they always did. I stepped into the elevator and allowed it to take me to the floor of my office. Neil was yet to report to work, I knew that he would spend extra time at the casino, seeing as neither of us – Kenji, him, or I – was present at the casino last night.

There was no need to be bothered about him. I found a heap of files on my desk; work that I had ignored for one reason or another. Lucky them! They were going to have all my attention from now till I was willing to do something else. I began to read through the files, one after the other. The majority of them were expansion proposals that I had to refute or sign. I ended up signing only two, and wrote emails to the organizations who did not pass, thanking them for their participation, and subtly leaving the bad news underneath.

This was Neil’s job, but I decided to take it upon myself today because I did not want to think.

What could be so bad that I had to start doing the things I paid someone thousands of dollars to do?

Jojo, and whatever bond we shared.

Those were the things I had to bother about or stop myself from bothering about. I had planned to reject her but suddenly could not bring myself to do so. All the while I had my tongue in her mouth, my hands all over her porcelain skin, all I wanted to do was remain deep inside her. Nothing else mattered to me. I did not know what it was about her body, but something was driving me crazy.

The more I tried to stay away from her, the more it became impossible to do so. Once again, even my own thoughts had betrayed me. All the work I had done was to keep my mind off her, yet, I was doing the one thing I promised myself I wouldn’t do.

I lowered my head to my desk and took in deep breaths. Only the flashes of last night that swept through my mind had gotten me hard. I groaned in frustration and found myself flinging my pen to the wall. I hated not being in control of my own hard-on!

Suddenly, the sound of my phone ringing filled the room. It was a great distraction, and I had never been more pleased to see Neil’s name appear on my phone screen.

I reached out to the phone on the table and answered the call. Neil’s voice echoed in my ears almost immediately.

“Good morning, alpha. I trust you’re just waking up from sleep. I’m very sorry to disturb you.”

I shook my head and rolled my eyes, while my gaze swept around my office.

“Yes, I’m all dressed and in the office. What is it, Neil?”

I was certain he understood what I said because his next statement didn’t come out as confident as the first. I also heard the sound of ruffled sheets. He must have flung his duvet out of his body.

“My apologies, Alpha. I got a call from Jojo Wyatt, informing me of her need to be absent from work today.”

He started, and I frowned.

Why does she need to be absent from work? This was why it was not advisable to sleep with your workers. Just one night in my bed and she was already beginning to think she could do whatever she liked.

“What for?” I found myself growling when I had not intended to.

“She got a call from the hospital, her mother has just regained consciousness.”

I sat up immediately, my eyes widened on their own accord.

“What did you say?”

“Her mother is awake now, sir. And she has to be absent for most of today, if not all of today.”

It was good that Jojo’s mother had regained consciousness. I cleared my throat.

“Get through to Jojo, and let her know that she can have the rest of the week off.”

“Sir?”

My frown deepened.

“You heard me. And send her some money, let her know it is Rush Empire’s part of wishing her mother good health. We care about our employees, do we not?”

He seemed hesitant for a while, but he eventually replied.

“Of course sir. I’ll get to it right away.”

Jojo:

I got to the hospital earlier than I had thought. Mel said she had just gotten off a shift, so she would be here with Valerie later.

I found my mother’s ward with ease. I had missed her; it had been so long since I got to look at her face.

I was glad that I had been called for a good reason; her improvement.

I stormed into her ward and found her lying with her eyes closed. Her right hand was out of the sheet that covered her body, and her fingers twitched.

I could not explain the joy that filled my heart while my bag dropped from my right shoulder to the ground. I rushed to her and held her right wrist firmly.

Tears welled up in my eyes, but they were for joy this time.

“Mama.” My voice came out as a bare whimper, but I believed she could hear me.

I heard my phone ring in my pocket and I reached out for it. I answered it and trapped it between my right ear and my right shoulder, while I held on to my mother. I sniffed back my tears.

“Hello?”

“Jojo Wyatt, this is Neil, from Rush Empire.”

“Neil?”

“Yes. You have been given permission by management to take a week off and be with your mother. To let you know that we care about our clients, we have put a small amount into your account. We wish your family all the best, stay safe, and return to work in one week’s time.”

Before I could render my heartfelt speech of appreciation, the line went dead. I sighed and dropped the phone on the bed.

Today was good, just too good to be true. I had never felt this way in a long while.

Just then, the door of the ward creaked. I had expected to see Mel and Valerie, but the doctor stepped in instead.

I found myself looking up at him, while my hands rested on my mother’s body.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

I blinked twice, to stop my tears from flowing. The doctor offered me a warm smile, the most genuine thing I had ever seen him do.

“I believe congratulations are in order, Miss Wyatt. We detected some neural activity from your mother last night and we found out that some parts of her body are finding their way to communicate with her brain again.”

It was supposed to be good news, it was good news, if not for the fact that he said “some”.

“Some?”

He glanced over to my mother, heaved a long sigh, and shook his head before his eyes found me again.

“Only the right side of her body has been able to connect with her brain, that’s how to put it in the simplest terms. We have not detected any activity from her left side yet, but that is normal, considering how long she has been in a coma. She just needs some more time, meanwhile, we would keep on taking care of her and running some tests.”

My eyes involuntarily traveled to her left eye. I could not take my eyes off it.

What if…?

The door flung open and I heard a familiar voice cry out.

“Jo!”

I turned, only to find Valerie sprinting towards me, a broad smile on her face.
