Malakai jolted up at the sound of another person near him.

He looked around and saw Valencia in a long sleeved jump suit. The sleeves were wrapped around her waist, a black sports bra covering her chest. He growled lowly, his cock stirring.

"Oh? You're still here?" she commented off handedly.

Malakai scoffed. "There a reason you look like a janitor?"

Valencia hid her displeasure at his insult. She looked down insecurely.

"Money doesn't grow off trees. My employees are waiting for me."

Kai blanched, "No! You're taking me to this Witch Doctor!"

He looked at her sharply as he stood. Valencia had been approaching the door as she spun her keys on a slender finger.

Malakai slammed a hand on the wall next to her.

She bared her teeth but couldn't find herself to speak up.

"You're taking me to the Witch Doctor," he snarled.

"I'm going to work," she finally grew the courage to grunt. She shoved him out of the way.

"The Doctor doesn't like work during the day. You'll have to wait."

"Well then why didn't you take me last night?!" He threw his hands up as she walked off.

His eyes darted to the sway of her ass. Her smooth back was on display and he gripped his hair as the door shut.

"Fucking mate," he growled out.

After an hour he got irritated of rummaging through his mates things to find something of her scent.

He stomped his way down to the garage.

As he shoved the metal door open, the sight in front of him sent him spiraling.

Valencia faced him as she leaned a hip against the table in front of her. A burly man, had thrown his arm over her shoulder, leaning the other arm next to the stack of papers they looked at.

A low growl rang out through the garage.

Valencia looked up sharply, an annoyed look on her face.

"Malakai, what do you need?" She asked slowly.

"I need him," He pointed to the human. "To get his fucking filthy hands off you. Now."

"Who the fuck do you think you are-"

"Henry," she placed a hand on the mans chest to push him back.

Malakai snarled and pushed himself forward. Valencia jumped to halt him as well, she became sandwiched between the two giants.

"Think you can touch what isn't yours asshole!" Kai seethed, Valencia's eyes widened when is skin became steaming.

She quickly began patting and fanning as to keep his species under wraps.

He hissed at her touch and it only spurred on his anger at the thought of someone else touching her.

"This what work is for you, hah?" He growled at her.

"What are you doing? This is my garage, these are my men. I need you to go upstairs, Malakai." She leaned up towards him as she spoke quietly.

"Fine, have fun whoring around!" The words fell from his lips before he could stop them. He immediately wanted to take them back as he saw the crestfallen look on his mates face.

Malakai huffed to himself and stormed off.

Valencia rubbed her brow, "Fuck!" She yelled kicking over an empty can of oil.

Her boys looked at their boss who looked to be on the verge of tears. She rubbed her red eyes hard as Henry approached.

He glanced at Danny and Greg, they'd all known Val for years. Never had they seen her get this emotional this fast.

Henry pulled her under his arm, he looked at the young woman as a daughter. He didn't like seeing her getting so distraught over a man no less.

"I'm..." she hiccuped. "I'm not a whore."

"I know sweetheart," he cooed gently.

"Who was that? Why the hell is he staying with you?" Danny asked, he was only a few years older than her.

"Just... ah a friend I guess."

"A fuck buddy friend?" Greg chimed in.

Valencia scoffed, "No. Don't worry about it. I can handle it." They watched the mechanic sniffle.

"Man, fuck that guy." Danny scoffed as he sat down on a roller.

"Yeah well I doubt he'll be sticking around long." Valencia sighed as she stared at the door.

Val slowly pushed her door open. Malakai looked up sharply from his pacing, his mate had oil smeared on her cheeks.

She physically cowered away him.

Her back was pressed flush against the door, she wanted as much space between them that was possible.

"Valen-"

"Let's go, so you can leave as soon as you get what you want."

She walked past him to grab her bag, not even bothering to change or clean herself. She was trying to get out as fast as possible.

"Can you slow down for a second?" he growled.

"No, I'm just a whore remember."

He winced. "Hey," he gripped her face to turn her towards him.

She whined quietly and it shot right down to his cock.

She wiggled away weakly as he began speaking. "I shouldn't... I shouldn't have fucking said that."

"You still did," she sighed.

"I know Val," he leaned down to inhale her scent.

"Lets get this over with, so you can leave in the middle of the night." Her dark eyes met his red ones. In the moment, even if her words were harsh neither wanted anything more than the others touch.

"The Doctor isn't a patient man."

"How the hell'd you even meet this guy?"

Kai followed her to the black car with yellow accents he'd seen earlier. They both stepped in swiftly. He watched Valencia start the car as her hair fell in strands around her face.

"He found me. While I was waitressing at a club he came to me and just... started talking."

"So what? He had a fucking hard on for you?"

"I doubt it," Valencia snorted.

"What, does he like men?"

"Who knows," Valencia rolled her eyes.
