Ch 4 : DADDY ALPHA

"Soup," I stood outside his door, the soup in my trembling hands as I gathered my courage to speak, though all those incidents from last night rewinding in front of me.

My heartbeat increased, as my palms started to sweat. It was hard to breathe, to even think straight after what happened between us. I could still feel the intensity of his touch on my skin, and the memory of his lips skills made my body burn with lustful desire. 

There was no response from him. Hesitating for only a moment, I slowly stepped inside as quietly as possible. 

Edmund was lying on the bed, resting against the headboard. His gaze became icy cold as he stared at me, making my stomach twist with nervousness, unlike butterflies in my stomach last night. Today it's only fear. 

He is older, hot, and undeniably powerful, every inch of him has a commanding aura. But he was also the man I’d been sinful with, the man whose touch I craved even though I knew I shouldn’t.

His eyes shifted to the bowl of soup in my hands. "Keep it on the table," he said in a low, deep voice, his eyes narrowing slightly. 

I did just as he said, my fingers brushing the edge of the table as I placed the bowl down, I feared he might hear the loud heartbeat of mine, I didn't dare to look into his eyes, but I could feel his sharp gaze fixed on me, as it felt like sharp daggers piercing into my back.

The room is quite small but the distance in between us felt too large, the air in the room filled with heavy tension with many unspoken words passing in between us.

"Aurora," finally he broke the silence in between us. I can't help but to notice the coldness in his voice, making my head to raise just to look at him. "Last night whatever happened in between us," he finally mentioned it, but his expression is unreadable, "it should not have happened, it's better if you forget about that, we shouldn't..." 

I was barely listening to him, as my gaze had drifted lower, my cheeks were hurting with heat, as I caught sight of the bulge under his pants.

I bit my lower lip in embarrassment, not realizing I got caught with my obvious glances already.

"Don’t look there," he sighed, getting off from the bed and came closer to me, for a minute, my breath got struck within my throat, because of his overwhelming presence in front of me

"You should understand this for better," he mumbled, his voice dropping lower, almost dangerous enough to make me shiver. "I’m your uncle, and best friend to your dad, Aurora, you and I shouldn't do this," his expression darkened immediately as if he was suppressing himself, "You can’t do this again and I prefer there's no next time, because I can't control myself." 

I shivered at his warning, last night he made me shiver with his touches and today he is making me shiver with his words, what kind of man he is?

His closeness made it hard to think of other things, especially his scent surrounding me like a drug. I pressed my lips tightly not to spout nonsense but they betrayed me by parting before I could realize, words spilled out from me barely like a whisper.

"Daddy Alpha!"

Not even a second after those words came out from me, Edmund’s darkened gaze shifted to wildness, something dangerous than earlier. Before I could come up with an explanation, his lips attacked mine pulling into a passionate kiss.

His hands gripped my waist, pulling me pressed against him as his lips devoured mine, his tongue slipping past my lips to taste me as if I was his favorite wine. 

I moaned into his mouth and I'm sure he must be enjoying it, my hands clutching his shirt, wanting to feel more, to be closer, while handling already sneaked into my shirt pinching my hardened nipple.

His kiss was hungry, demanding, yes, this is what I wanted and I'm perfectly melting in this kiss, completely powerless against the desire that is spreading throughout me, isn't he the very same man who said no to kiss? Now what happened? 

I'm aware that it is wrong, so...so wrong, but it felt too good to stop and I'm helpless. His fingers are cupping my hips, his body pressing too close to mine, and I can feel his arousal too hard as if it's wanting to make its way deeper into me.

Just as quickly as it began, he pulled away himself from me with the same quickness, breaking the kiss leaving both of us breathless. His eyes were conflicted, as if he was battling with himself whether to stop or continue.

"Go away from me," he growled softly, his voice sounded desperate and nervous, "Leave now, Aurora, before I, before we both do something we’ll regret, it's best for you to leave." 

I stared into his eyes, my lips still numb because of his passionate kiss, my body craving for more. But I could see the struggle in his eyes, the fight to remain in control, and I need to respect it.

Unwillingly I nodded my head, and turned around to leave the room with a racing heart and spinning mind.

As I closed the door behind me, I leaned my back against it, trying to calm the storm of emotions fighting inside me.

My chest became heavy with raw emotions pouring out, but all I could think about even at this moment was the way he had kissed me, and the way he had held me tighter in his arms as if he never wanted to let go of me, then why did he let me go?

I couldn’t stop myself from craving for him, but why? Why am I so weak around him? Why is it hard for me to be away from him? Why is it hard for me to hold me tightly?

The chain of thoughts broke when my phone vibrated in my pocket, immediately I took it out to see a call from Polina.

"Hey, baby girl, there is a party tonight, and let me warn you, I'm not going to take no as an answer, since I arranged this party especially for you, you've to attend this by hook or crook, do you understand?" 

"I don’t think I'm in a situation to attend a party," I decided to avoid going out because of my baffling thoughts.

"No way, no excuses are accepted in this particular matter, Aurora! You need to move your ass out of your house, let's meet hot men and have fun tonight. Who knows, in tonight's party you might even meet your second-chance mate! We can't miss this chance," she teased me, trying to light up my mood.

I sighed, knowing she wouldn’t let me escape from this. Maybe going to the party would be a good distraction, a way to get my mind off him.

"Fine," I agreed reluctantly only for her, "I'll come but if I don't like it, I'll leave, and you shouldn't stop me." 

"Okay...okay, baby girl, I'll pick you up at eight in the night, don't wear boring outfits, try to wear something hot to fire up men's hearts." 

She laughed like a villain and I hung up the call while rolling my eyes, returned to my room after the call, I stared at my reflection in the mirror, but rather than myself, all I could see was a reflection of him and his touches.

Polina is right, I need to distract myself to stop thinking about Edmund and sinister thoughts I'm having about him which I shouldn't have.

As soon as the evening began, I started dolling up myself with a tight dress that hugged my curves perfectly, the fabric smooth and silky against my skin. 

The neckline dipped low, showing my perfect cleavage to feel sexy enough to set fire just as Polina said, and I paired it with heels and let my hair fall in soft waves till my waistline.

As I headed downstairs, ready to leave for the party, just then I heard a voice coming from behind, "Where are you going?"
