ZORA

Okay, so maybe I’m living a real-life rom-com. Or a porno. Or both.

It’s been a week since Jay Lafayette, the kraken-shifter Olympian and certified fine-ass alpha, decided I was his mate. And what a week it’s been.

Day 1: I wake up sore in places I didn’t know could be sore, with eight tentacle-shaped bruises all over my body and a grin I can’t wipe off my face. Jay orders room service for breakfast, and we end up christening every surface in his suite. I’m an hour late for my shift, and Tasha gives me the side-eye all day.

Day 2: Jay “coincidentally” shows up at the pool during my break. We end up making out in the supply closet like teenagers. I smell like chlorine and alpha musk for the rest of the day, and I swear Ms. Johnson is sniffing suspiciously every time she passes me.

Day 3: I try to keep my distance, I really do. But Jay corners me in the elevator, and let’s just say we’re lucky no one else needed a ride for those 15 floors. I spend the rest of the day squirming in my seat, feeling the phantom touch of his tentacles.

Day 4: Jay convinces me to take my lunch break on the private beach. We go skinny dipping, and I discover that underwater tentacle play is definitely a thing. I return to work with sand in places sand should never be, but feeling more relaxed than I have in years.

Day 5: I’m starting to worry about my job. The hickeys are getting harder to hide, and I’m pretty sure the entire staff knows something’s up. Jay, the bastard, finds it hilarious. He keeps sending me dirty texts during my shift, and I nearly mess up a large group’s reservation when one particularly explicit message comes through.

Day 6: Jay has to do some press interviews, so we actually spend most of the day apart. I’m surprised by how much I miss him. When he returns, he practically pounces on me in the hallway. We barely make it back to his room before clothes start flying.

Day 7: I wake up to Jay tracing patterns on my skin with a tentacle. “Come home with me,” he says. I laugh it off, but the idea sticks in my head all day. By evening, I’m seriously considering it. Which is insane, right? I’ve known the alpha for a week!

And now? Now I’m standing in front of Ms. Johnson’s office, sweating bullets and trying to come up with an explanation that doesn’t involve “Sorry, I’ve been too busy fucking the shifter staying in the luxury suite to do my job properly.”

I take a deep breath and knock.

“Come in,” Ms. Johnson calls out.

I step inside and instantly freeze. Because sitting there, looking like the cat that ate the canary (or should I say, the kraken that ate the pussy… nope, not going there), is Jay.

“Ah, Zora,” Ms. Johnson says, her voice cooler than ice. “Mr. Lafayette was just telling me about the… exceptional service you’ve been providing.
