His Dominant Omega, Jarrett, J. [most read book in the world TXT] 📗

get the job or not? I mean, I know I don’t have any previous experience, but I’m willing to learn.” Cole took a deep breath. “I really need this job.”

Josef looked down to the paper trying to ease his crazed thoughts. A part of him wanted to wrap Cole in his arms and promise that everything would be okay. That he didn’t need his family, that Josef would be his family and take care of him. But why was he having these thoughts? He just met Cole, and his scent wasn’t giving off any indicators that they were mates. But Josef couldn’t deny his attraction toward the young man.

“Then it’s yours.” Josef didn’t think twice. He just offered him the position. “When can you start?”

“Today, sir.” Cole hopped up from his chair.

Josef stood up. “Great, but first things first.” He led Cole to the front seating area and pulled out the tax forms. “Fill these out then…” Josef trailed off when his phone began to ring. He looked down and saw that it was the architect for the Anderson house. “Sorry but I have to take this.” Cole nodded his and got to work filling out the paperwork.

Josef took the call in his office. The architect wanted Josef to meet him at the Anderson property and go over some last-minute changes the Andersons wanted to make. He hung up the phone and looked out at Cole. He smiled at the concentrated look on Cole’s face. His lips moved as he read over the papers and filled them out. Josef didn’t want to leave but work called.

He walked back into the room. “Cole, I need to go meet with an architect for a project I have going. I’ll call the foreman for the job I’m sending you to. He can show you the ropes and get you started. I’m sorry I have to leave you.” And he was. More than Cole could possibly understand.

“It’s okay, really.” Cole stood up and held out his hand. “Thanks for everything, sir. I promise not to let you down.”

Josef silently cringed at the sir usage again. He wasn’t one of those guys who was into the whole master-and-sub scene. Not that that was how Cole meant it, but damn if Josef wasn’t attracted to the man. All his thoughts had gone below the belt since he met Cole fifteen minutes ago.

“Please, call me Josef.” He grabbed Cole’s forearm as he shook his hand.

“Josef.” Cole smiled brightly at him.

“Good.” Reluctantly he let go and headed for the door. “I’ll call Dave and he’ll meet you here. Just hang tight and leave those papers on the desk. Dominic will get all that squared away from you later.”

Josef left before he found another excuse to stay. He put a call in to Dave who was en route to the job and was okay with turning back around to come and fetch Cole.

As he drove off, his mind wandered aimlessly back to Cole. The man stood close to his own height, maybe an inch or two shorter, and looked thick with muscle, which Josef found appealing. He wasn’t into thin little guys. He wanted a man who could give as good as he got and liked to take turns being in the driver’s seat.

He sighed as he thought about running his fingers through the soft, shaggy, blond hair on Cole’s head. It was cut short in the back and trimmed close to the scalp around the ears and back and laid floppy on the top. He had a straight nose and sharp jawline, covered in a light covering of stubble. The hairs were a little darker than the hair on his head and stood out against his tan skin.

Josef wanted to reach out and touch the spiky little hairs and feel them tickle along the underside of his palm, then lean forward, closing the distance between their lips and kissing Cole’s breath away.

Shit!

Josef pushed harder on the gas pedal and sped down the road. He needed to focus on work, not getting into the pants of his new employee.

Chapter Two

With Josef gone Cole could breathe and think clearly.

“Just my luck. The only place to hire me just so happens to belong to my mate,” he whispered. “Freaking perfect.”

Cole could smell Josef before he even walked through the door. It knocked him off his axis and he couldn’t think straight. That was why he knocked instead of opening the door.

He knew Josef couldn’t smell him, but he could see the desire in the other man’s brown eyes. It was distracting, but Cole did his best to ignore it. The last thing he needed to add to his list of problems was a mate.

Cole had enough problems with his pack without involving Josef. He could smell the wolf on Josef. He didn’t know what the situation was with Josef’s pack and thought it best to keep his identity a secret for the time being. The last thing he wanted was to have another pack of wolves playing tug-of-war over him.

His father was the alpha of their pack, and his twin older brothers were the betas, and Cole the omega. His father practiced the traditional ways of werewolf life and governed with the old laws. There were three tiers in the hierarchy. Alpha, betas, and omegas were the leaders of the pack, and they were to be respected.

Being the omega meant Cole had the ability to mask his scent from others. He also had the ability to calm others. At times he was referred to as a shrink by his old pack members. In fact that was what he had been attending school for. Cole wanted to be a psychologist, but his father was only humoring him
