The Girl He Marked by Laila Callaway novel Chapter 1

Book 1 Chapter 9 

Myra‘s POV. 

He stands in front of me, with his arms crossed in front of his chest. I really wish he wouldn‘t do that, it makes his muscles look even bigger and flaunts his lovely tattoos. 

‘This!‘ I cry triumphantly and hold up the bobble (hair tie) I have spent the past five minutes looking for. 

Jayce raises an eyebrow but doesn‘t say a word, when does he ever? 

I sigh with relief and bend over, flicking my mass of curls forward so I can tie the mane up on my head. I knew I should have straightened my hair again, it makes it so much more manageable, these curls are a nightmare. 

When I straighten up, Jayce is watching me and I blush under his dark gaze. This man just exudes raw sexual chemistry. 

“Damien sent me, he says you need help with getting into some accounts or something?‘ He asks and I smile at him. 

‘Yes please, I can‘t seem to log in to this system Alpha Damien was telling me about, he said he‘d send help... you‘re good with computers then?‘ I ask and Jayce‘s lips press into a grim line. 

He sits down at the desk and I hurriedly put my things back into my handbag. 

‘Yes, he replies bluntly and starts typing away at the keyboard. 

I watch in awe as he logs into the system‘s mainframe and within minutes has granted me entry. 

‘Wow, so you‘re like a computer geek?” I ask over his shoulder, still amazed by what I‘ve seen. 

He glares at me and stands up. 

‘From what I hear, you‘re a Maths geek, he responds, his eyes cool and analyzing. I smile at him and slip into my now–vacated seat. 

‘More of a stats geek, I can only write computer scripts not hack into them, that‘s impressive,’ I reply and he nods at me before turning and walking away. 

‘Thank you!‘ I call after him, but he ignores me and disappears around the corner. 

What is that man‘s problem with me? He hates me! 

My phone rings and I glance around before sliding to accept the call. 

‘Tell me you are free tonight?‘ My best friend asks excitedly and I resist rolling my eyes. 

“Hmm, maybe. Why?‘ I ask curiously and I hear Jasper squeal on the other end of the phone. 

‘There is a special event on at Infinity and I‘m coming up!‘ Jasper screams and I instinctively pull the phone away from my ear. 

‘Wow, that‘s great! 

‘What time do you finish work?‘ 

‘Six, want me to collect you from the station?‘ 

‘Yeah, sounds great, thank you! 

I‘ll invite Aria over as well, I tell him. 

Aria went to school with us and lives nearby with her mate, Seb. 

‘Great! 

‘Oh, and one more thing, what is this special event?‘ | ask, knowing that it‘s going to be something ex treme because it‘s Jasper, 

He pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath. 

Jesus, please let it be something normal. 

‘Fetish night!‘ He yells and the smile drops from my face. 

‘Are you serious?‘ I ask, trying to hold back my laugh. 

Oh, this is going to be interesting. 

‘Of course! I‘m wearing my latex playsuit it‘s going to be amazing!‘ He cries and I cringe as I remember the shiny black outfit. 

So tight. 

So shiny 

‘Okay, I‘ll have a think about what I‘ll wear and I‘ll text you okay? I have to go now, I‘m at work! 

We say our goodbyes and I hang up the phone. I put my head in my hands and groan, what I am going 

And suddenly, I remember an accessory I bought a year ago because I liked the lace bra that came with it, it will be perfect for tonight. 

***–– 

I fumble around in my handbag for the final time and curse loudly: I‘ve left my house keys at work, probably when I emptied everything out of my handbag. It‘s six o‘clock, Nathan is still asleep. 

He is not going to be happy about this. 

| grimace and gently press the door bell, as if my light pressure is going to make it easier to wake him up. There is no movement for a few moments so I press it again, longer this time. A minute later and Nathan opens the door and glares at me, still in his sweats and a t–shirt. 

‘Why didn‘t you use your keys?‘ He demands grumpily and stomps back down the corridor. I sigh and shut the door behind me. 

I‘m sorry, I left them at work. I thought you might be asleep, you would be getting up soon anyways, right?‘ I ask and he scowls before pouring himself a bowl of cereal. 

I raise an eyebrow but don‘t say anything. I guess with him being on the night shift this is breakfast time to him. 

‘Yeah, in an hour or so, he mumbles, shoving big spoonful‘s of cornflakes into his mouth. 

• I‘m sorry, I needed to get in. I have to go pick Jasper up from the station in.‘ | glance at the clock on the wall. ‘Fifteen minutes. We‘re going out tonight, I explain and set my handbag down on the kitchen island. 

‘Has Jasper still got a crush on me?‘ He asks and I laugh at him. 

‘No, he‘s moved on. God knows what he saw in you anyway, I tease. 

Tregret saying anything as he flicks his milk–drenched spoon at me. 

‘Sod off, that Aria is fit though, he comments and smirks at me. I crumple my nose in disgust. 

‘She‘s found her mate so stay away from her, you little shit.’ 

| eye him warningly and then jog upstairs to my room to change. I slip into a hoodie and some comfy jeans and drive over to the station to collect Jasper. 

I know as soon as his train has arrived due to the piercing squeal that echoes throughout the foyer. I sigh and shake my head as I see Jasper running towards me, everyone around us is looking, he‘s so embar rassing sometimes. I grin and open my arms for him to leap into. 

‘Look at you! You look beautiful, he says, cupping my face in his hands. 

‘Thanks, sweetie. You look gorgeous as always,‘ I reply and he nudges my shoulder playfully. 

I drive back to my house. Aria arrives soon after and we spend the next couple of hours catching up on everything that‘s happened in our lives. 

After I come down the stairs and enter the lounge. 

“Holy shit, Jasper drawls. 

Aria grins and hugs me, Nathan grimaces and leaves the room. I look down at my outfit. Personally, I think I look well–suited for Fetish night. 

Thave chosen my thigh–high black swede boots, a small black skirt, a harness style bracelet, and my finishing accessory; a black lace choker with two long silver chains attached that hang down my body and attach to the lace cuffs on my wrists. Basically chaining my wrists to my neck so I can‘t fully extend my arms on either side of my body. 

This is the great thing about going to a gay club, you can be basically half–naked and no one will 

‘Shit girl, you look hot, Aria compliments me as she runs her fingers through my long, straight brown hair. 

Thanks honey, so do you, I reply and gesture at her bright red dress which contrasts perfectly with her flawless tanned skin 

It‘s only eight o‘clock but we‘re already ready, we like to have a long time to pre–drink. 

The doorbell rings and I look around the room to see Nathan has not returned, probably sulking in his room, he doesn‘t have work until ten. I walk into the hallway and open the door. 

To say I‘m shocked, is a huge understatement. I freeze and stand completely immobile as I stare wide eyed at Jayce, who is standing on my front doorstep.
