Sinful Mates 1-3

chapter 36

Looking at the time, it was nearly time to finish up. I was exhausted and for once actually excited to

go home to my prison. I needed sleep. I was mentally and physically exhausted, and my brain felt like

mush from constantly looking at screens all day. When it was nearly time to knock off, I switched

everything off and decided to go down to the foyer and see if I could find Tom.

I grabbed my bag and headed for the elevator. Once on the foyer floor, I walked over to the

counter at the front. Merida, the lady that brought us dinner the night we stayed back late, was at the

counter on the phone arguing with someone who wanted to organise a meeting. After a few minutes of

me waiting she become annoyed and slammed the phone down hanging up on the person. She ran her

fingers through her blonde hair and let out a breath.

“Hi Imogen,” she said. Her voice sounded tired.

“What happened to the other lady that was working here? I thought you worked on the tech floor?”

“I normally do, but the bitch quit and now I am stuck here till they find a replacement” She sighed

clearly annoyed and tired.

“So, what brings you down here Imogen? Where are Tobias and Theo?” She glances around

nervously looking for them.

“Why does everyone do that? Look around nervously at the mention of them?” I ask her curious,

was I the only one not terrified by them.

“You for real, the vibes they give off” She shakes her head. “I don’t know how you work all day up

there with them. I do not envy you, having to work under them. I still remember last time when Theo

went postal and nearly strangled Max for interrupting him during a meeting, poor bloke quit, and I

transferred to the tech floor. I was originally one of their secretaries, I couldn’t handle the hours or

tension of working up there. They are way too intense. I don’t know how you do it, girl.”

“Max?”

“Oh, he was here just before you started here, apparently he works for a rival company now, they

used to be friends but after that not so much.”

Jealousy coursed through me knowing she worked for them, although I could tell she feared them I

couldn’t help but wonder, if they were attracted to her and treated her like they did me. I shook the

thought away wondering where my sudden jealousy surged from. I didn’t want to think of them with

another woman, though she didn’t seem like she was involved with them sexually.

“So, what brought you down here. I know it wasn’t for a friendly chat” she asked looking up at me

from her seated position. I completely forgot my original intentions of coming down here.

“I was actually looking for Tom, have you seen him?”

“He is probably in the back office” Back office I thought he was a cleaner. Do they have offices

now?

“The cleaner’s office?”

“Huh what are talking about? Tom works in publicity, little OCD if you ask me, I sometimes see him

cleaning up around here, caught him mopping the floors the other day. I actually thought he was

demoted” She chuckled. Now that was weird Tom told me he was a janitor. What the hell was going on

around here?

“Just follow that corridor down and you should see his office on the left” She told me pointing to the

corridor next to the stairs. I turned and started walking towards it when I was stopped.

“Imogen wait up.” Oh for god’s sake, I groaned. I liked Mark but was really hoping I didn’t run into

him today, I really needed to speak to Tom. I stopped and turned around to face him. I watched Mark

jog over to me from wherever he just come from. I like Mark but sometimes he could be a flirt, although

I knew he was harmless and just overly friendly. I didn’t want Theo and Tobias getting mad if they see

me speaking to him after this morning’s incident.

Mark stopped in front me, his brown eyes lit up and he smiled before running a hand through is

black hair. He was a good-looking bloke with his strong build, but I didn’t find him attractive like Theo or

Tobias. He embraced me in a hug, and I stepped back looking around nervously.

“I haven’t seen you at the hospital in a while. How is your mum?” he asked. I swallowed. No one

other than a handful of people knew my mother was even in hospital and I hadn’t really spoken to Mark

or seen him to let him know what happened.

“Um the hospital pulled the plug; she passed away” I looked away trying not to show how much

her death has hurt me.

“Oh, Imogen I’m sorry to hear that, if you need someone to talk to you have my number,” he said

grabbing my hand. I pulled my hand away before speaking.

“And your sister how is she doing?” I asked changing the topic from my life.

“She is doing better, still a long way to go but they have started her on a trial drug now, hoping the

results come back good.”

“That’s great Mark, well I have to go see someone” I said turning away when his hand grabbed my

elbow gently. I stopped and turned back to him.

“I have been wondering if you would, like” He suddenly stopped looking behind me. Just as I was

about to turn and see what he was looking at. Strong warm arms wrapped around my waist tugging me

toward them. I flinched I knew instantly it was Tobias, he swept my hair over my shoulder, then lent his

head down kissing my neck softly. Mark watched and took a step back. I looked at him apologetically.

“I was wondering where you went,” Tobias said. I could hear the anger in his words and Mark

paled a little.

“Well, I will catch up with you next time Imogen” Mark said eyeing Tobias before all but running

away. I sighed and turned in Tobias’s arms.

“Did you have to do that? Seriously Tobias sometimes you can be a bit much” Tobias let go of me

and glared down at me.

“I don’t want you talking to him again, is this why you left without letting us know? To come see

mark?” Really, he thinks I am trying to run off with Mark. I rolled my eyes and Tobias grabbed my chin

forcing me to look up at him. “You are ours nobody else’s” his words made my stomach tighten from the

dominance and control behind his words, I liked the sound of being theirs when I knew I shouldn’t.

“Why were you down here without us?” Theo walked over to stand next to him clearly having heard

our conversation. My eyes glanced toward him and Tobias let go of chin.

“I was looking for Tom, geez. Nothing sordid going on” I was well aware of Merida’s eyes on us

and probably other workers watching me be questioned as well. I wanted to run just to avoid their

speculative gazes.

Tobias and Theo both watched me, seeing if I was telling the truth. I wouldn’t lie they would know

instantly besides I am a terrible liar.

“Come on time to go home,” Tobias said grabbing my hand.

“I just want to see Tom really quick I will only be a second” I said moving away and toward where

Merida said his office is. Theo’s hand caught my other hand and they pulled me back.

“You aren’t to go wandering without us Imogen, you can see Tom another time, when we are

present understood” Theo told me. Anger rose in me. I tried to pull away but gave up when they started

tugging me toward the exit. I knew if I caused a scene Tobias would lose it. So instead, I let them pull

me to the car that was waiting out the front.

Tobias opens the passenger door and waits for me to get in before shutting the door behind me, he

hopped in the driver’s side and started the car. I waited until he pulled out and started driving through

the traffic. I turned to look at him, now deciding I would confront him over humiliating me, since we

were no longer at work and had no witnesses.

“Was that necessary, seriously Tobias why would you do that and why can’t I see Tom?” He

ignored my question. “Put your seatbelt on Imogen” Tobias growled out. I crossed my arms across my

chest.

“Why did you have to go scare Mark off like that he is good bloke. You just humiliated him and me”

My voice getting higher.

“I don’t want you talking to someone who is clearly interested in being more than friend Imogen,

you will do as I say. Now put your fucking belt on” Like hell I will, they can’t control me like that. Tobias

jerked the car to the side and Theo grabbed the back of my seat from the sudden movement to steady

himself. Tobias turned and glared at me, before reaching across me and grabbing my seatbelt and

plugging it in before taking off again.

“Why you always have to get under his skin for Imogen” I looked over at Theo who was picking up

documents, that fell in the footwell from Tobias’s erratic driving. Great, just fucking great now they were

both ganging up on me.

“You weren’t there you didn’t see what he did Theo so butt out” I heard him growl behind me.

“I saw the entire thing Imogen and you may think Mark is being friendly, but he wants more than

just to hang out with you. Don’t just assume because you can’t see us that we aren’t watching” I rolled

my eyes and crossed my arms before closing my eyes and sitting back in my chair.

When we got back home, Theo opened my door, Tobias had stormed into the house.

“Look I’m sorry for snapping at you, Tobias is just on edge and so am I and seeing him with you

just became too much” I looked at him before taking his hand letting him pull me to my feet. He pulled

me into a hug and kissed my head.

“We can make it up to you, Tobias has a surprise for you anyway, it should have been delivered

while we were at work” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Is it an Internet connection?” I asked hopeful. Theo chuckled pulling me towards the house.

“No, but I will have someone come out and fix that, if it such an issue for you.”

I nodded excitedly. “Oh my god yes this place is boring” he pulled me into him when we reached

the door, leaning in his lips going to my neck sucking on it before breathing in my scent.

“I can think of a few ways to keep you entertained,” he said nipping at my neck. I leaned into him

and squeezed my legs together trying to stop the sudden ache. Tobias walked out wondering what was

taking so long.

“If I can’t have her neither can you,” he said leaning on the door frame watching us. I reached out

and grabbed his hand pulling him towards me. His warm body pressing into my back, as he pulled my

head to the side kissing me deeply. His tongue tasting every inch of my mouth, making me moan and

my panties to dampen.
