AITHAN Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. What had gotten into me? Did I just get pissed because he was dancing with a woman? Was I okay? I doubt that. If I were alright, I wouldn't have had those stupid feelings while watching him. Which was why I took Maria out of there, to a place where my mind wouldn't be confused. I led her by the hand to the balcony. Out here, the music from the party was muffled. Though we could hear it, it wasn't loud enough to disturb our conversation. Maria blushed as she looked around. She must have known why I brought her out here, in this private space. I knew no one would come over here, as it was my special area. “You are charming,” I whispered to her as I backed her against the rail. I reached over and touched her hair, watching her gulp. Her breath hitched as she locked her eyes with me. Maria was just my type. Soft, beautiful and an Omega. I'd never had the hots for my fellow betas or even female alphas. Gammas sounded like a sure bet after Omegas. “You think
My mouth went dry at his words. I didn't appreciate the way I reacted, but you couldn't blame me. He was so close, staring into my eyes with a gaze that made it seem like I was the only one in the entire fucking world. Whatever Alex had working for him, was something strong enough to make me act weak.“I don't understand why you took root in my head, making it difficult for me to think of anything else,” he continued, his hazel eyes locked with mine, and his words said so low, it sent shivers down my spine. Gulping, I tried to avert my gaze, but the thought of making myself seem so small with that gesture made me focus on him. I didn't want to back down from the stare, didn't want to make him think he had won the competition. I narrowed my eyes, my mind racing with scepticism. I didn't like how he was making me feel, but more was the feeling I had about being a play to him. Alex was my fucking enemy, a man who had been at odds with me all our lives. Hearing him say those words made
ALEXANDER I cursed under my breath as the sound of gunfire shattered the tension between Aithan and me. We were so close to kissing, and now…now this. I quickly fished for my gun, my training kicking in as I took off after Aithan.I was so pissed at the moment, I wouldn't hesitate to kill the damned bastards who thought to interrupt us. Just tell me why the hell someone would have such bad timing? Why couldn't they wait until I had kissed Aithan?!! I was so close to touching his soft lips, to feeling him moan under me as he wrapped his hands around my neck. Who knew what would have happened after that? We would have gone down on each other! Fuck them!I hurried after Aithan, getting to him before he could expose himself. “Get down!” I yelled, grabbing his arm and dragging him behind a nearby pillar. “Don't be rash!”“Fuck off!” He shook me off, his eyes blazing with anger. “I can handle myself,” he growled, drawing out his gun. The way he glared at me made me believe he likely bel
AITHANI had always said this and would repeat it. Alex is bad news. Every time he showed up, something must happen. I should have known tonight wouldn't be an exception. With everything that happened from the moment I heard the first gunshot to the face-off we had with the men, I didn't have enough chance to punch him like I would have normally done. After I raced in, looking for Viktor, he called a hospital. By the time I found Viktor lying unconscious in his room, the paramedics had already arrived. As there were many unconscious people lying around, they brought over 20 ambulances. The house had never been as noisy as it was at the moment. “Go on with them. I will take care of the others,” Alex said, coming over to my side. He must have seen how torn I was about staying behind to make certain all the unconscious ones were taken and going with the ambulance housing Viktor at the moment. Frowning, I shrugged his hand off my shoulder as I took a step back. I didn't like the way h
ALEXAfter disposing of the bodies, I called Max. I didn't want to involve anyone from my house, but I realized he was my best bet if I needed to get the identity of those who attacked the party. I already knew they weren't my father's men. There were things he would do, and things he wouldn't dream of doing. This was one of them. Having sent me to exchange the wine, he wouldn't dare hit them when they were at the low. It wasn't like him. “My alpha,” Max greeted the moment he answered the call. “I have done the assignment you sent me on. I just sent the data to your email. Please check it out when you have the time.”“I will. Thanks a lot, man.”“Any time.”“So, I need your help to investigate something for me,” I said, going straight to the reason I called. I didn't think wasting any time would help me at all. “My help?” There was a ruffling from the other end like he was getting up from bed. It was late, so he probably must have gone to sleep. My call undoubtedly woke him. “What
AITHAN I closed my eyes, so I wouldn't see him. I imagined Mara as the one sitting next to me as I brought my face closer. However, instead of his cheeks, I felt something wet, something that caused me to snap my eyes open.As our lips touched, a jolt of electricity ran through me. I hadn't expected it. This was supposed to be a mocking, a show of dominance. But the second our skin made contact, something sparked.Alex's eyes widened, his pupils dilating in surprise. I felt it too—a rush of heat, a flutter in my chest. For a moment, we just froze with our lips locked.I didn't know how to react and didn't even know what was going on at that point. All I knew was the delicious feeling I got in my stomach, the one that made me let out a shameful sigh.Then Torch's expression changed. His eyes darkened, his gaze intensifying as He deepened the kiss, his lips claiming mine.I was caught off guard. My mind reeled, my body responding despite myself. I wanted to break away from him, to stop
I shook under him, desperate to feel his hands on my dick. At that moment, my desires clouded my judgment. I couldn't think straight, couldn't understand the person standing in front of me wasn't a friend, but a foe. This could all be a trap from him. I knew that, but my body seemed to have a mind of its own. “Tell me you want it, Ly. I won't touch you until you give your permission. I might be an alpha, but I'm not a predator,” he growled, his breath fanning my neck as he placed a kiss on it.Shivers erupted in my body as I bucked my hips, eager to feel his touch. Letting out another shameless moan, I tried to get closer to him, controlled by my carnal desire for him. “What do you want, Ly? Tell me, and I will do it for you, I promise.” His hand slid up to my crotch, and he used his fingertips to trace the lineup and down its length.“I…” I gulped, locking my gaze with his. I didn't want to say this, didn't want to stoop so low, but I had to. Alex was fucking driving me insane. I
Smirking at me, he rubbed his hand up and down my dick once more, holding my gaze as I shivered. I bit my lower lip to keep a sound from escaping. The last thing I needed was for him to use anything against me. “Have anyone told you how cute you look?” He whispered, his intense gaze on me. “I hope they haven't because I want to be the only one to see this expression.” I didn't retort this time, didn't scream at him. I just let him say whatever he wanted. For now, I needed his help with my damned dick. Grinning like a Chester er cat, he used both his hand and his mouth on my shaft, sliding up and down, expertly driving me towards an orgasm.I clenched my tied hands, biting so hard on my lower lip that I drew blood, yet I didn't ease the bite, didn't want him to know how much I loved it when he touched me. His mouth on my dick felt like paradise. I'd always cherished a warm mouth, one that knew what it was doing, and he checked out. He was so good, he made it difficult for me to hol
“Is there any problem?” The last I checked, there wasn't any reason he would ask me to meet him. I had already told him about the shooting, hadn't I? It wasn't as if I had anything else to talk to him about. Well, unless it was about Aithan. “You will know when you meet him. He asked me to bring you over." “Oh. I see.”I nodded, feeling a sense of uncertainty. What did Viktor want to talk to me about? Could he be suspecting me of harming Aithan? That wasn't possible, right? I wouldn't have brought him back to the house if I was the one who shot him. But you could never tell the heart of another, especially an angry father.“Lead the way then.” I forced a smile at the man, gesturing for him to start walking.“Don't worry, he won't do anything to you with Aithan in the house. That's not his way," the man whispered, his words trying to reassure me I had nothing to fear before he turned and started for the stairs. Choosing to believe those words, I followed him up the stairs and throug
ALEXMy soul left my body when I saw him fall. I had been so happy to see him, impatient to show him all I had planned for the date that I didn't even fucking check out the surroundings. I didn't think anyone would make an attempt on his life since no one knew our location. Wrong. I was mistaken about that. Whoever did this must have followed me, carefully staying in the shadows without detection, something that wouldn't have been possible if I wasn't that eager to meet Ly. I would have known someone was tailing me had I not been too focused on the date. It was my bad for not paying attention. I carried Ly up from the ground after making certain we were alone. Whoever shot him must have been confident in their skills. Why else would they disappear after two shots without checking to know if he was dead? I carried him towards my car and gently placed him in the back seat. Just when I was about to rise so I could go over to the driver's side, he called out to me. “Take me home,” he
As I entered the study, Viktor looked up from the papers he was reading, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my appearance. He knew even before I opened my mouth that I was leaving the house. No one dresses up just to lurk around the house. “Aithan, you look… refreshed,” he said in his best neutral voice. “Had enough rest?”I nodded, smiling at him. He didn't sound suspicious, which was a welcome to the tone he used on me when I returned a few hours ago. “Yes, I slept well. Sorry, I forgot about our meeting. I overslept and only recalled it now.”At least I didn't lie about it. Had I not gone over to tell him I was stepping out, I wouldn't have remembered at all. Viktor's expression turned sceptical, but he didn't press the issue. He let out a soft sigh as he leaned on his chair and gave me an appraisal once more before picking up some files.“Very well. Let's get down to business. I've been receiving reports of some… unusual activities in the area. I want you to look into it
AITHAN I slept soundly until a call woke me up. Yawning, I reached for the phone I placed on the bedside table. I didn't check the caller's ID before I picked up the call, letting out a drowsy, “Hello.”The chuckle from the other end caused me to sit up on the bed. I rubbed my eyes furiously and stared down at the phone, instantly turning red when I saw his name.“Lex?” I whispered, afraid someone might be by my door, listening to the conversation. He was the only Alex I knew, so Viktor would undoubtedly know he was the one I was speaking with, even without me having to spell it all out. “Did I wake the sleeping beauty?” He teased, still chuckling. “I'm sorry about that, my dear. I just wanted to hear your voice. I didn't know you were sleeping.”“It's alright.” I yawned again. “I've rested enough.” I leaned on my headboard. “I can't believe I slept for 5 hours straight. You are a damned monster, you know?”“Who was it that kept begging me to continue? Don't heap the blame on me and
Alex dropped me a few poles away from the main gate because I asked him to. I knew Viktor would have some men out looking for me. The last thing I wanted was for them to see me getting down from Alex's car, days after I promised to break things off with him and having nothing to do with the alpha.“See you tomorrow,” I whispered before I placed a kiss on his right cheek and got down from his car. “Ly?”I looked into the car at the call, with my eyebrows raised. “What?”“I love you.” My cheeks flushed at his words as I hastily straightened. I didn't respond to him. Instead, I hurriedly walked towards the front gate. He must have known how shy I felt because the booming laughter that followed my actions was enough. 'So… You finally told him those words, didn't you?' Tan, who had been giving me the cold shoulder for days, spoke up. 'Who was it that claimed he didn't like him? I think I know. It's you, Aithan. You even vowed you only needed him to scratch the itch for you. Now it doesn
AITHAN I stared at Alex throughout the drive home. I didn't wish to part with him and wanted to spend all my waking moments with him, but I knew it wasn't possible, not when Viktor was probably worried about me. “If you look at me like that again, I won't be responsible for what I will do,” Alex said, turning his focus on me. Though he had a smirk on his lips, I knew he was joking. He realized how much I needed to return home to let Viktor know I was okay. “Can we live together?” I whispered before I could stop myself. “Huh?” He tilted his head, his eyes wide. He looked like he couldn't understand the language I spoke. “What did you just say?”“Can we like…” I gulped, looking out of the window before I focused on him. “Can we live together? Just for a few weeks?” My cheeks flushed at my words as I tried not to look and sound desperate. I couldn't tell why I felt weak thinking of spending some time away from him and didn't wish to think about it. It will only make me reluctant to p
ALEXTo say I was the happiest man in the entire world would be a damned understatement. Waking up to the feel of his head on my chest was the best feeling in the entire world, one I will never trade for anything in the entire world. I wrapped my arms around him, holding him close as I gazed down at his peaceful face. His eyes were closed, his eyelashes fluttering slightly as he breathed. I couldn't help but smile as I watched him, feeling a sense of contentment wash over me.Everything felt like a dream to me. Having Aithan willing to pursue a relationship with me was something I never thought would happen, at least not this fast. It was surreal.I gently stroked his hair, feeling the softness between my fingers. He stirred slightly, his head shifting on my chest, and I froze, not wanting to wake him. I didn't mean to disturb him. I wanted to watch him sleep, to cherish the moment.But then his eyes flickered open, and he looked up at me, a sleepy smile spreading across his face whe
At first, he was lightly holding my hair as he pounded into me. However, he increased his thrusts as he tightened his hold once more. It was painful, but that was enough to turn me on. I was craving it. I loved the pain more than I liked him being gentle with me. You can say I like this version of him the best.The pain made me ache for more. My stomach tightened so hard as I reached closer to the edge. I could feel the need building within me as he showed me another side of pleasure. I moaned as he continued to ram into me with the same intensity as before. His hold on my hair tightened some more. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and knew how much I craved the pain. The harder he thrust into my hole while holding my hair like an anchor, the more aroused I became. I was a moaning mess, crying for him to go harder, to show me how much he wanted me. I was literally begging him to treat me like a slut.“More!” I cried out when he slapped my left arse cheek with his left hand. M
He flipped our position, and had my legs spread, ready to take him in. His eyes found my mind once again, searching for answers I knew must be on my face. I hid nothing from him. I showed him just how ready I was with my eyes.“Tell me to stop if you get uncomfortable,” he said before positioning himself at the entrance of my core. “Ready?” he asked, looking into my eyes deeply again. The concern in that gaze caused me to fall so much in love with him. Had I not known my feelings for him before, his expression would have made it easier for me to fall harder for the infuriating Alpha. “I've always been ready.” I nodded, and then I felt his blunt head push into me with gentle force. A loud moan escaped my lips, and I closed my eyes, savouring this feeling while slipping down onto him more and more.I started panting as he grabbed my arse even more firmly. My head fell back, and I cried out when he thrust forward, so I started moving too, to match his rhythm. Little moans and groans tu
