I stepped inside and the rest of the room was revealed to me. Along with an incredibly gorgeous Alpha doing pull-ups on high bar off to one side of an open training area lined with mats.
Talis.
Holy fuck was he hot. His back was to me, but I knew it was him. I’d pressed myself up against that hard body as he sped along the road on his motorcycle. His honey blond hair was slicked back and perspiration made his shirtless body glisten.
While Evander was built wide like he could push a boulder up a hill, and Levi was leanly muscled like a swimmer, Talis was in between the two types. He had sharp muscle definition, especially now as he smoothly did pull-ups without seeming to tire. His shorts hung loosely on his hips as if teasing me that they might fall down.
And I wanted them to… very badly.
I was suddenly hot all over again. My breaths were coming quickly and my vision had narrowed to focus on this delectable Alpha.
Talis slowly lowered himself down and placed his feet on the floor. Such control he had. He shook out his hands and plucked a white towel off a rail on the wall. He turned to face me as he was wiping off his face.
From the front, he was even more divine. His abs were perfectly defined like a sports model. I wanted to lick up his sexy body and back down again to that bulge tempting me in his shorts.
My panties were soaked, and I was starting to lose all of my common sense again.
“Callista?” His voice snapped me out of my naughty fantasy, and my face heated. “What are you doing up at this hour?”
Talis walked towards me in a slow manner as if he were stalking me. I was frozen in place, every inch of me hyper aware of him. “I… I didn’t mean to intrude. I couldn’t sleep, so I thought I’d go for a run.”
He stopped an arm’s length away from me. My fingers twitched, wanting to touch him. More so, I wanted him to touch me.Touch me, lick me, fuck me.
“Your feet were injured. You were told to stay off them for a few days.” It sounded like he was giving me the command now. And I wanted him to tell me what to do. To listen to that confident masculine voice ringing through me as he had me on my back instead of my feet.
Why was I thinking these things? I didn’t want anyone to order me around like my father. I loathed the way he made me feel. And Grant did the same thing. Except when Talis spoke…
It was different. He was different, right? Or were my raging hormones making me believe these things? “My feet only hurt a little this morning. I start off each day with a run… If it’s okay that I use the machines here in the gym.”
“Yes, of course.” His intense blue gaze bore into me. Like he knew every sinful thought. “There are towels on the shelf over there, and water in the mini fridge. Do you need anything else?”
His mouth on mine and my body pinned under his. I bit my bottom lip so I wouldn’t say that out loud and hurried over to one of the treadmills. “No, thank you. I’m good.”
I was far from good. I was going to come on the spot if Talis kept staring at me that way. Stepping on the machine, I turned it on and pumped up the speed. Maybe if I ran long and hard, I’d exhaust my body so it wouldn’t be crying for him to fuck me on every machine in here.
Great, now those hot images were flipping through my mind. If anyone knew what I was thinking, no one would want me and Carson would turn his nose up at my perverted thoughts. I’d lose everyone’s respect, and my father would quietly ship me off to be claimed by some cruel foreign associate.
I pushed the speed on the treadmill up even further.
Chapter Eleven
I couldn’t tear my gaze away from her. Even wearing sweats, Callista was the most glorious female I’d ever laid eyes on. The way her skin flushed, the sexy way she’d nipped her lower lip, and how her tits bounced as she ran.
Wiping my face again with my towel, I hoped I could yank myself free of her spell, but it was no use. I tossed the towel into the basket for used ones and walked toward her. I worked out at this early hour because no one was awake to bother me as I did. It was likely she was the same way, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave.
Her back was straight and her hair bounced. Her form was spot on. She obviously knew how to use the machine, so I couldn’t say any of those things were bringing me over to her.
That tight little ass of hers, though….
Fuck. I wasn’t going to be crude, but I had to say something. “I’m sorry you had to go through that yesterday. It was a frightening situation, and you handled it very well. Levi told me how well you did escaping the yacht with him too. You were brave and acted fast under pressure. You impressed us all.”
Me, especially. It was the most I’d ask of anyone on my team, and she’d proven herself just as capable. She’d had no training, though, and I hoped she wasn’t suffering any trauma over what she experienced. Maybe that’s why she was running. Working out always helped me sort through my thoughts.
“Thank you.” Callista’s voice was breathy as she flushed redder in her cheeks. I imagined her saying my name like that, and that blush covering all her sweet naked body as I pressed mine to hers.
I clasped my hands behind me, standing straight at attention. I needed to walk away and take a cold shower. Instead, my fool mouth kept talking. “We still have no leads on who set us up. There are several individuals and organizations we’re investigating who have publicly opposed Senator Grant’s appointment to office who are suspects.”
A small grimace made her jaw harden before she notched up the speed on the treadmill again.
