The Seduction of Jac Frost (by Tatienne Richard) novel Chapter 7

“He turns blue.”

The words were reverberating around her head like a ping pong ball.

“Jacqueline, have you ever not noticed you have supernatural abilities?”

The quiet question from Wilder made her grimace at him with disdain. “I’m a normal human being with no powers who simply turns blue when she’s pissed off. It’s a medical condition.”

“It’s not. It’s not a medical condition. It’s a sign of the royal

bloodline.”

“It’s bullshit.”

“It’s not. It’s entirely true, mate,” Rafferty commented seriously.

“Stop calling me that.”

“Why? I have waited too many years to call my mate. It feels good on the tongue.”

The way he said it made her think of other things on his tongue, and she shot him a startled glance and then a surprised glance was delivered to Wilder who growled ferally from deep m’his1:48

chest.

“What was that?”

“This is not possible, Mother. You need to find a way to fix this. I will not share my mate.”

“You do not have a choice.” Hugh spoke from the doorway.

It dawned on Jacqueline he still thought she’d bolt.

“There must be a way. I saw her first. I tied my bond with her first. She should be mine.”

“I saw her last. I can be her last everything. Who wants to be first when you can be the ending of a happily ever after?” Rafferty was smooth in his delivery as he moved to crouch next to the sofa. “I also do not want to share. Perhaps we can find a way that will allow her to choose one of us.” He looked smugly at Wilder, “she’s too feisty to want a buttoned–up man who likes to conform around the humans. She needs a fae who will let her express her strength in every way.”

“Fuck you,” Wilder spat at his brother.

“No but I wouldn’t mind fucking my mate.”

“Holy shit!” she jumped up and moved to the other side of the sofa away from the two men. She looked at Fawn, “ser

These are the men you raised. I grew up without parents too sickly to be adopted and even I know better than to say things coming out of their mouths in mixed company.” She looked at Rafferty, “your mother is right there!”

“Sadly, I have heard him say worse,” Fawn grimaced distastefully at her son. “Pull yourself together Rafferty.” She sighed and looked to Jacqueline, “If you think he is bad, Wilder is named Wilder for a reason. From birth he was the more daring of the two. Don’t let their appearances fool you. Rafferty is fun and games. Wilder is the reason we’ve made laws about the use of magic in too many situations to count.”

She thought of the way he’d been teasing her in the conference room and realized there was definitely more to this man than the endearing look he was trying to give her now.

“Look all of this is really cool but you promised me if I sat and listened I could go back to my desk.”

“You can,” Wilder said gently, “however, not yet.”

“What do you mean not yet.”

“I mean there is more we need to tell you and explain.”

“About what?”

your parents and your family. You will need to know what to expect.”

“I don’t have a family,” she shook her head at the quartet as she moved further away from them towards the bar which was against the far side of the room. She looked at it. “Do all CEO’s

have bars in their offices?”

“Do you need a drink, mate? We’ve given you so much information. Perhaps a stiff drink might help.”

“My name is Jacqueline, Rafferty, not mate,” she scolded him angrily. “I don’t drink at ten in the morning. Good grief, I’m already convinced the barista laced my coffee and all of this is a hallucination.”

“What barista?”

“It’s why I thought I was being called up here, or partly,” she shrugged. “Some bitch of a barista drew a caricature on my coffee cup and wouldn’t give me my drink. I told her off and someone recorded it and posted it online and tagged the company.”

Wilder was immediately on his feet and scrolling while Rafferty was at his shoulder. Her voice calling the barista “lady” and demanding she hand over the coffee made her cringe.

humiliate my mate?”

Rafferty clenched his brother’s shoulder tightly, “we will make them pay, brother. We will hunt them down like the animals they are and feed them to the boars in the royal forest.”

“Or you can ignore it and it will go away?” she made a face.

“It has a quarter million views, Jacqueline,” Wilder looked at her and wiggled the phone.

“Wow. Already? It was only a hundred thousand when I came upstairs.”

Wilder was typing frantically on his phone while Rafferty was encouraging him.

“Yes, yes! Oh wait, add this,” Rafferty tapped the screen and Wilder nodded his agreement.

“What are you doing?”

“Damage control. It is my calling in life. I’ve made billions in it, remember?” Wilder sent her a wink, “do not worry my darling Jacqueline, we will reclaim your honor.”

“He’s good at it because he was constantly as a child figuring out how to spin the shit he got into,” Hugh commented seriously. He Staged at Jacqueline, “I see your mother in you.”

“It’s remarkable, isn’t it?” Fawn said.

“There! That should do it.”

“What did you do?”

“Posted a statement on the company platform.”

Frantically she dug into back pocket for her own phone and found the post and then stared incredulously at the CEO of Vaughn Professional Corporation. He’d tagged the local coffee shop, the head office of the company, the handle of the person who posted the video and, she froze, “you tagged the company where this guy works?”

“He came for mine.” Wilder’s eyes were focused on her with a burning anger she knew wasn’t directed at her.

She read the statement three times and by the third time it still wasn’t making any kind of sense.
