Chapter 47

Cassie

Julian pulled me further into him, his lips greedily plundering at my mouth with a groan that made my lower stomach clench.

When he got like this, there was no denying the heat between us. And it was scorching hot and molton. It felt like it would burn me alive.

"Cassie." He moaned and the grip on my hair tightened as instead of pulling me into him, he pushed me back against the buttery leather of my seat.

I fell into the kiss and the feel of his warm hand as it slid up my thigh another inch. Disappearing under my form fitting skirt.

And I wanted more. So much more. I needed his hand to travel all the way up to touch my core so he could see how wet this made me.

"She's watching-" he murmured against my mouth.

"Julian." I pulled him over me. Kissing him wildly. And the passion between us seemed to take the very air out of the car.

It was hot and familiar. Just like the need in me. We had done this before. Completely fallen into each other without it being a battle of wills but I knew that wasn't true.

We had never kissed like this before, with need a passion and mutual respect. All the times before it had been a battle.

"That's better." Pulling away slightly Julian let his head rest on mine and our breath mingled. "Oh before I forget." Digging deep into his pocket he brought a key. A small silver one that looked new and freshly cut.

"What's this for?" I closed my fingers around it.

"Your new office." He winked , the hand underneath my ponytail pulled me down for another kiss. "My wife shouldn't have to change in the locker rooms. It's room 207." His lips moved across my face to my ear , his breath tickling more of my senses. "And I'll pick you up this evening and take you for dinner. Have a good shift Cassie."

"Thank you Julian." I whispered as I got out the car and came face to face with Megan who was standing a few feet away. Her face was a mask of hatred.

"Think about where you want to eat tonight." Julian's voice called out behind me as I swept passed her and the look of pure bitterness on her face. She hated it. Hated seeing me kiss my husband in front of her but after what she had done this wasn't going to be the last time I put her in her place.

She might have been his lover but I was his wife.

"My beautiful wife's choice."

I turned back before I could help myself to see Megan sidle up the drivers door. It was clear that she was trying hard to talk to him but Julian didn't even look at her. Instead he lifted his hand and gave me a little wave before speeding away.

Chuckling smugly I made my way into the bush hospital. The little key held like a talisman in my hand.

All I needed to do now was find room 207 and my office.

My new office was on the second floor and in the corner. So it was probably a nice spacious office. I hoped that Julian hadn't kicked out a more experienced doctor for it because that would just cause me more headaches in the long run. I wanted to get on here and get along with the staff like I did in my old hospital.

Sliding the key into the lock I was surprised when the door pushed open without me even having to turn it. Stepping inside I fumbled for the light switch but didn't have a chance to turn it on as a cruel hand closed in around my wrist and dragged me inside.

The door was slammed shut and I was slammed against the wall with so much force that my head rebounded off of it and my teeth rattled.

"What the hell was that about?" Megan stepped into my space. One hand tightly around my wrist and her other arm pressed up against my windpipe.

"What are you talking about?"

Megan's eyes were filled with such hatred that my blood ran cold. She wasn't going to stop because Julian had acted like a loving husband to me. She wouldn't stop until I was out of the picture completely.

And that meant me and my babies were in serious danger.

"That little show in the parking lot. The kissing and then this office-" she snarled and her voice broke out in her voice with every word she spoke.

"He's my husband." I growled back. "If we kiss it is of no concern to you." I could barely breathe but I let my eyes travel over her face and I sneered. "Did you think he was going to leave me for you and that you would one day be queen? Come on Megan. Men like Julian don't marry women like you,"

"What do you mean women like me?"

"Gold digging slags." The moment I said it I knew it was a mistake. Megan was jealous and jealous women were always dangerous.

She pressed down on the arm over my throat until my eyes bugged out of my head.

"Says you." Megan brought her face so close to mine that I could see the spit shining on het lips. I could even smell the stale coffee on her breath and it made me want to gag.

"You with a bastard mutt in your belly." Throwing back her head she laughed like a maniac. "Well maybe still growing in your belly."

Rage engulfed me. Lifting my hand I slapped her hard across the face. I hit her with so much force that my palm went numb with the shock of it.

"You tried. " I spluttered. "You're a murderer and -" twisting my body I freed myself. I was so close to shifting and that could be dangerous when you were pregnant so I had to be careful.

I needed to calm down.

"What's Julian going to do when he finds out another man's baby is growing in his wife's baby." She took a step towards the desk. Confused I watched as she reached into her bag and pulled out a bottle of water. Slamming it down on the desk.

"Maybe he won't ever. Maybe even now you are losing that bastard child but if not-" she sneered like a maniac. "I can always try again. Be careful what you drink Cassie. Be careful what you eat because-"

The door slammed open again and a man appeared roaring. Closing the distance between the door and Megan he backed her up until she was pressed up against the desk and had nowhere else to go.

His hand closed around her throat and lifted.

"Forrest no." I rushed forward. I had known Forrest my entire life but I had never seen him act like this

"I don't care if you have the princes protection Megan, in this hospital we do not attack our co-workers." Loosening his grip he stepped away. Rubbing his palm on his trousers like she had dirtied them. "So I will be reporting you."

Megan's eyes flashed. "She hit me."

"She didn't hit you first. She didn't attack you first and anyway," he lowered his voice to a hiss. "I heard first hand you threatening her life and the lives of her babies."

Megan's eyes widened. "Whatever you say." Shouldering passed him, she pointed straight at me with a sneer. "This isn't finished Cassie. I am going to make you pay ."
