Jorgr (The Mating Games Book 7) Read online

  He had presence and she could feel it. When their eyes met it was like fireworks. Georgie had always thought that the stories of instant attraction were exaggerated until now when her heart skipped a beat. Flirtatious words itched on her tongue but her mind pulled them back. She couldn’t flirt or spend time with any man, not anymore. Her whole life was a lie and he might find out. No one could be trusted to keep such big secrets especially a man that looked like he did.

  “Can I help you?” She asked.

  A smile came to his face that made her think his mind wasn’t on business. “Yes, you certainly can.” He just stared at her for a few moments. “It’s too bad we have to discuss business first.”

  “You’re my morning appointment?” She asked even though there could be no doubt.

  “Afraid so. My name is Jorgr. You are Georgette, right?”

  “I am. There are some papers on my desk waiting for you. Please take a seat and we can begin.”

  Jorgr walked to the desk, picked up the stack of papers before sitting in one of the two comfortable chairs that were positioned across from her on the other side of the desk. Crossing one leg over the top of the other, he leaned the pile of papers on that leg then began to read quickly. Reading at a steady clip, he made it through several papers before he looked up spearing her with his glance.

  “Maybe you could just verbally tell me if anything is different in here from the last agreement?” He sent her a questioning look.

  “One of the reasons most of the men in your position don’t come to the meetings is little changes on these agreements.” She explained warily.

  “Really? Maybe I want to make some changes.”

  Georgie felt a sense of worry. Was he trying to make her lose her profit? Did he suspect something? “What changes did you want?”

  “It isn’t anything serious. We normally receive the product in our warehouse here, unload it, store it overnight, and then ship it to the space station where it goes out to the extreme space stations the next day. It seems to me it would save time, effort, and money if we have it directly shipped to the space station.”

  Relief rolled over her. It was a minor issue but it would save them money while only costing her a little. “We could do that.”

  “We would even off set the slightly higher costs. It would be a win for us.” He smiled and she thought she would melt into the floor. “Of course you would have to agree to have lunch with me. Only to celebrate a successful contract completed.” He finished speaking and looked at her expectantly.

  Her breath froze in her lungs at the thought of spending time with Jorgr. The man was an amazing example of maleness. He was tall, muscular, and just plain manly. His hair was dark, almost black but looked like it would feel soft and feathery. That made her fingers want to touch it so much. She thought his eyes were dark too but she couldn’t get a clear look at their color. The problem she had right now was she wanted to celebrate with him but alone privately. Her desire scared her because she knew it was dangerous to let a man inside.

  “I can’t.” She said and felt so sad.

  “You can. I insist that you do.”

  “But why?”

  “Because I see you want to go so I wonder why you would say no.”

  “I can’t.”

  “You have a husband or boyfriend?” He asked and his gaze cut through her looking for secrets. This man was dangerous to her.

  “No, but I don’t want one either.”

  “You just haven’t found the right man.”

  As Georgie looked at him she suspected that was true. He’d already been different than the men she’d met before. “Maybe I don’t want to meet a man. Some of us women are fine without one.”

  “Maybe the right man would change your mind.”

  Maybe he already had but she felt caught in her fate. She was a victim of her choices and the planet she lived on. There was no way out for her. Maybe Mimi, her sister, could escape but not her. Not now, not ever.

  Chapter 3

  They Are Coming

  He gazed at her his eyes taking in all the details. The female was beautiful which wasn’t what struck him the most. Many of Earth’s females were beautiful but this one had something more. It was the intelligence that gleamed in her eyes, the strength that showed through, and the compassion he sensed she felt for others. This woman was the complete package, she had beauty and brains. There was also an inner strength he found rare in others that weren’t Mazlans.

  Her hair was light blond, but the roots were slightly darker. He suspected she was going for that blonde bombshell look. It looked good on her but he was sure it was a tool she used in her work. Her eyes were an amazing violet color he’d heard of but never seen. Jorgr smiled, this female would give him a good fight every day of their life. Once he realized what he said he knew what he meant. This was the one for him. Georgette would be his for the rest of his life and he would be hers.

  She’d finished typing the new agreement. Her skills were incredible and he would have no trouble finding her a place back home. “Let’s go now. I’ll take you to lunch and we can celebrate the deal that’s been done.”

  “I suppose you won’t let me out of this?” She asked carefully.

  “No, you’ll enjoy it. I’ll make sure you do.”

  “Not conceited are you?”

  “No, I’m convinced and I’ll make sure you are too.” He noticed she stopped arguing which was a good thing.

  When she came out from behind her desk, he held out his arm. She automatically took it. Once she’d realized what she’d done, she tried to pull back but he refused to allow it. Instead he escorted her out of the room past her secretary then out the door. A light wind rolled down the boulevard in front of the office building. It was spring here on Earth and a lovely warm day. Just a short way down the road was a café with a small patio area where couples sat drinking sweet warm coffees and eating delicate sandwiches and desserts. It wouldn’t come close to filling him up but the whole point was the romantic atmosphere. He wanted her and this was a chance to flirt and laugh.

  He held out a chair for her helping her get seated. Sitting across from her, he then motioned to the waitress who hurried over. “What can I get the two of you to drink?” She asked as she handed them each a menu.

  “I’ll take a cappuccino.” Georgie said.

  “Me too.” He responded wondering what kind of drink that was.

  The waitress hurried away to fetch their drinks. “I think I’ll get a Reuben.”

  “I think I’ll get one too.” He replied.

  “You should double the meat and cheese. After all, you’re a big guy.”

  “Alright. Thanks for looking out for me.” Smiling at her, he noticed she blushed prettily. “Tell me about yourself.”

  “There’s not much to tell. I’m just ordinary.” She said but he didn’t believe that for a moment.

  “I don’t believe that for a minute. Tell me about your family and about your job.”

  “Alright. I’m the youngest of three daughters. There were four but the youngest died. My sisters are both pretty and smart, but I only see one of them often.”

  “They must be amazing if that’s true.” He felt his eyes light as he looked at her. Maybe she wasn’t aware how wonderful she was?

  Georgie’s face lit with love. “They are, my sisters are wonderful.”

  “I hope to meet them sometime.” The temperature around them dropped. Her attitude seemed to close off. Did she believe he was interested in her sisters now?

  “Perhaps. Who knows?”

  She stopped talking and he was about to break the silence between them when the waitress brought their drinks. “Two cappuccinos. Do you know what you want to eat?”

  “Yes, I’ll take a Reuben meal.” Georgie said.

  “Do you want chips or potato salad?”

  “Chips.”

  “Alright. What about you?”

  “I’ll take a Reuben meal too. I want double meat a
nd double cheese. I’ll take potato salad.”

  “Okay. I’ll turn the orders in and bring your meal out when it’s ready. Do you need anything else?”

  “No.” They both murmured at once. The waitress turned on her heel and hurried away.

  “Jorgr.”

  “Georgie.” They spoke almost at the same time then they both laughed. It seemed he was forgiven for whatever he’d done wrong.

  “This is nice.” He commented as he watched skaters rolling along the sidewalks and painters doing their art just off the concrete. Looking closer he saw one was painting Georgie and him as they sat near her spot. “I guess she can’t help but paint so lovely a subject.”

  “I can’t stop them from doing it.”

  “Why would you want to? It’s a compliment that they want to paint you.”

  “I suppose. I’d just rather they didn’t.”

  “Well today she’s painting us. Maybe she’ll let me buy it when she’s done.”

  “I’m sure she will. It’s a hard way to make a living regardless of how good they are.”

  “It’s a sad world.”

  “That it is and getting sadder.”

  Now they both lapped into silence because they were lost in their own sad thoughts. The waitress brought them out of their reverie when she brought their food. She set down plates of steaming sandwiches in front of them. It smelled delicious making his stomach growl loudly.

  “If there is anything else you need just let me know.” She said as she dropped the bill on the table.

  He picked up his sandwich and took a bite. It was hot but not too hot to eat. Georgie didn’t agree since she was blowing on hers. “I just burned my lips trying to bite into mine. How come you can eat yours?”

  Jorgr was sure it was because he wasn’t human and it took hotter temperatures than this to bother him. He couldn’t tell her that, at least not in the early stages of their romance. “Mine must be cooler.”

  “Just my luck. I’m hungry and my sandwich is hot.”

  “It’s my luck that’s good. We’ll have to stay until it cools and I’ll have more time in your company.” Georgie blushed making her even more beautiful.” He wasn’t trying to sound romantic but it appeared he had come off that way. Honesty was all he had meant to express. Jorgr sensed she wasn’t immune to him but she was resisting him anyway. It was their way to claim a mate quickly but it wasn’t the human way at least not unless something interfered.

  There were no tricks or games he wanted to play to claim his mate. Looking across the small table at her, his heart beat a little faster. In his mind, he knew she was his. Now the question was how to claim her. The idle chit chat that moved between them wasn’t helping his cause. She was almost done with the sandwich and then he would have to walk her back home because they had stayed much longer than planned. Georgie wouldn’t give in to him tonight but he would work harder to win her over.

  Jorgr paid the bill then escorted his woman to her house which suited him anyway. At least now he knew where she lived. He wished he could hold her and kiss her but he knew she wouldn’t allow that yet. “Thank you for the meal, the company, and walking me to my door.” She was dismissing him and he would go for now but he would be back.

  It was time to go home now so once he picked up the two little girls, he put in a call to a private investigator he knew. The man would find Jenny if anyone could. Meanwhile he had two children to take care of. They played while he fixed food for the three of them. Jorgr wasn’t uncomfortable with household chores. He was used to doing his share at home. While he had started building his house with the prefab sections his brother Tylar had recommended, he still lived at his parent’s house and did his share there.

  The girls were well behaved, ate what he fed them, and took a bath to get ready for bed. He dressed them in his T-shirts and had to chuckle at the way they looked. As fun as the little ones were to have around, he hoped to hear from the investigator soon because they needed their mom. They lay down to sleep so he told them a story about his planet. At first they both watched him wide eyes listening to every word or maybe they just thought he looked interesting, but in time they couldn’t keep their eyes open any longer. The two were so sweet and innocent he hurt for the life they had here.

  It might be that their mom had left them with him hoping for a better life but he doubted it. Jenny loved those girls to much too ever leave them. Now that the girls were asleep with a night light on and the door open, he made his way to the shower. Closing the door, he knew the room was insulated enough to smother any sounds he made so he now had time to think about Georgie and how she made him feel. Stripping off, he stood bare, with his cock straining forward with cum dripping off the tip as he remembered Georgie, the way she looked and scented.

  It was wise to step into the stall, turn the water on, and lather up so he could ease his ache. Closing his eyes, he stroked his chest pretending it was her. His hand moved down until he cupped his big balls squeezing them lovingly. Breathing hard with her on his mind, his hand moved up to his rock hard shaft. Stroking from root to tip, he was firm and speedy. Her delicate hands wouldn’t feel as rough as his own but this was pretend. Faster and harder he moved causing the tension to build in his stiff staff. Rolling a finger over the tip he collected the dew that had formed there. It felt slippery making him move that much closer to his release. A groan broke free just before milky white ropes of cum broke free splashing against the shower walls and bouncing back almost hitting him.

  Jorgr collapsed against the wall his mind on a certain beautiful lady. His imagination was so good he thought he could reach out and touch her. Of course that was just crazy. She was at home hopefully thinking of him or dreaming of him if she was asleep. That was his hope anyway. After cleansing himself, he stepped from the shower and dried off before putting PJ pants on because of his little guests. He cleaned up after himself then headed to bed. At least he was sure he would sleep well. As soon as his head hit the pillow he was out.

  Something woke him and his eyes popped open. A little angel stood in front of him staring at him with a smaller angel hiding behind her. “Hungy.” She said. The oldest girl had trouble with the letter r. The youngest rarely spoke at all.

  “I’ll fix you something. What might you want?” She shrugged. Alright, anything goes. Jorgr moved to the kitchen with the girls on his heels. He looked in the refrigerator and saw bacon and eggs. Pulling out two large frying pans he started the bacon frying. The eggs he whipped up with cheese and scrambled in the other pan. Running around the kitchen he monitored the pans while he got each girls a plastic tumbler with milk and another with juice. They drank them quickly as if afraid he’d take them back. Both girls were skinny, too skinny.

  He put their food and his on plates so they could sit and eat together. The girls ate fast without saying a word. It saddened him that there was little joy in their faces. Jorgr wondered if it reflected the lack of joy in their lives. Children should never have such sad lives. On his world children were valued and cared for. Here it seemed only boys mattered. Once they were done eating they sat there looking at him. Grabbing all the dishes he washed them. Now it was time to take them to the lady downstairs.

  Chapter 4

  A Woman Knows

  Georgie sat at her desk working or at least trying to work. A certain man kept breaking into her thoughts. It wasn’t that she wanted to think of him, it was more that she couldn’t stop herself. The thoughts were wicked and delicious. They were the kind of thoughts she knew she shouldn’t have but that didn’t seem to matter. Jorgr was a sexy man, the sexiest man she’d ever seen. She shook her head to clear it of sensual thoughts and dug into the work she had in front of her.

  At least it worked for a little while before he slipped into her mind again. Nothing seemed to remove him from her mind completely. Her mind was obsessed with him and why was that so odd? Men on this world treated women like cattle, they used and abused them. Of course a woman would jump on a man like
him. He was well mannered, kind, seductive, and he treated everyone like they had value. If she didn’t have so much to hide she’d jump on him and bind him to her anyway she could. The problem was she did have a lot to hide, a whole company in fact.

  Georgie had been a teenager with a smart streak that she couldn’t hold back. Her family had needed her so she had answered the call finding a way to make money to support them. Their mother had given birth to all girls. Four girls in all and the youngest had been very sick. The business had started out selling illegal goods. Black market, you want it Georgie would find it for you at a cost. Eventually she’d found that she had a talent for connecting buyers and sellers. Things had taken off and she’d used a boyfriend as the face and name for the business until it had gotten too large. She had needed someone then that could rub shoulders with the spoiled selfish men that ran things.

  Smythe had been perfect, but she never took her eyes off him. She would never trust him because he was too much like the men he dealt with. Georgie worried that someday he would betray her. If only she had met Jorgr first. There was no point in having regrets, what was done was done and now she had to live with her choices. Her com sounded. “Hello.”

  “Georgie? You have a visitor.”

  “Send him in.” She said assuming it was Smythe who hadn’t visited in a while. It had been too long and that concerned her.

  “It’s about time….” She began but it wasn’t Smythe.

  “I’ve missed you too, Beautiful.”

  “I didn’t know it was you.”

  “But you’re happy now that you know, right?” Jorgr said smiling at her.

  “You know I can’t see you.”

  “I don’t know that. You’ve never given me a good reason and I know you like me.”

  She did like him and now she was momentarily speechless. “I don’t know what to say.”

  “Say you’ll go to lunch with me. I need some help only a woman can give.”
