Conrad POV
We get back into the limo after saying goodbye to everyone at the country club. And I mean everyone. I talked to potential business partners, social elites, waiters, the hostess, and even the doorman as I left.
Cordelia lets out a dramatic sigh as soon as the limo door shuts. “Well, that was a disaster. I will have to do some major image control when we get back tomorrow“.
“I think it went great“. She shot daggers at me for a second before realizing it was me.
I can see her scrambling for something to say. Something to turn this back to her narrative. “This doesn’t just reflect badly on me you know. They will talk about how you acting as well. You need me to protect yours and the crown image“.
“I have done fine until now without you and will continue to do so“.
“Oh please. Wolves talk. You are new to this level of status and this society. Their opinions can easily be swayed with the right influence. You need a Luna Queen like me to manage all of that“.
“If their opinions are so easily swayed, then why would I care. They seemed more interested in avoiding clingy cordy and how you would affect their image more than anything“.
“Like I said. The right influence and their minds will be changed. They will all regret those words“. She sneered.
I just rolled my eyes and went back to my headphones. She went to her phone and started doing whatever she did on
social media.
We went to the theatre and it was the same thing. She is trying to hold my arm, and I very obviously push her away. She
had this grand entrance planned as we have a balcony to ourselves where we are Introduced from the stage. I waved
politely but pushed her hand away so not sure the crowd noticed.
The performance was good but not really my thing. We went to dinner afterward. A pretentious 10–course affair with each course being a mouthful. Some had gold, and another white truffle on the dish. Some caviar. On was basically bubbles on a
cracker.
As soon as dinner was finished her attitude had shifted back to her annoying delusional state as she was very excited. I knew we were going to the hotel so I knew what she was expecting.
We check in and as we get the private elevator it gently shuts like a cell door in a prison. My stomach seems to stay on the ground floor as the elevator rises. Even the corridor when we step out of the elevator seems to be caving in around me.
We enter the hotel room and it is very opulent. Large and spacious with a great view of the city. There is already champagne on ice when we arrive in the room as well as chocolate cover strawberries.
I just stare out the window to the city thinking of my beautiful Lewana at home alone in our bed. This must be hard for her knowing I am here with another woman. Even though I know she understands I wish it could be different.
I wonder what my time with her will be like. I wonder if she would even like a hotel room like this? She never would have experienced luxury like this before and she should be treated like the princess she is.
“I’m going to go to the bedroom and get more comfortable“.
1/3
Cordelia waltzs off trying to be sexy but it just makes me sick. That is the one other glaring fact. There is only one bed in this place. I have to act now before it is too late.
After about 10 minutes, Cordelia comes out wearing pink lace lingerie and heels. She has clearly redone her makeup and spritzed herself with an unholy amount of perfume.
She starts trying to do this sexy tone and fails. “Let me look after you tonight my Alpha King and I can show you how
good we are together“.
I roll my eyes. “I need a drink“. I go over to the champagne and down it in one swig. And fill up my glass again. I fill hers up too and she takes the hint drinking her glass as well.
She sits on the couch and is pushing her chest out trying to entice me. “Come over and relax with me“.
I stay standing against the wall. “No“.
She finishes her glass and she walks over to me. “Oh come on. I know I’m irresistible like this“.
She puts her hands on my shoulders and starts running her fingertips over my shirt and down my chest. She bites her bottom lip thinking she is winning as I don’t break eye contact with her. “A big strong Alpha like yourself has needs that require a woman’s touch“.
She keeps running her hands down my chest, over my pants to my crotch where I can see a flicker of confusion cross her face when she doesn’t find a bulge seeking her out.
She starts rubbing her hand over the area and is getting more frustrated that there isn’t even a twitch for her.
I just smile in her face. “Like I said before. You do nothing for me“.
Just then she starts to sway and stumbles slightly in her heels.
“Thank the Goddess finally“.
She looks at me panicked. “What’s happening“.
“I drugged your champagne glass. You going to take a nice nap on the couch and I’m going to go to bed“. I am so glad Liam had this idea and gave me the sedative before we left. He said he checked with Lewana on its potency as a way to tranquilize rogues but thought it should have a test run.
Just then, she collapses and I catch her in my arms. I pick her up a unceremoniously dump her hard on the couch. I put a blanket over her as I don’t want to even look at her in her current state.
I sniff my arms as soon as I drop her and I stink of her scent and perfume. I nearly gag at the smell.
I call the concierge and order a large meat lovers pizza, some buffalo wings with dip, and beer for the room to be delivered in 30 minutes.
I jump in the shower and scrub so hard my skin is bright red when I’m done. I go get my food, confirm I can hear Cordelia loudly snoring on the couch, and head to bed to watch an action movie.
A quiet evening to myself.
