15: Movie Night

Levi’s POV

I heard the car pull up and less than a moment later Dina walked through the door. I cursed under my breath. Shit, she was home early today. I’d hoped to get this done before she got here and surprise her…

“Hi, Alpha,” she greeted me in her usual beaming manner, but the second she saw it, her jaw dropped open in pleasant surprise. “You got a new TV?”

“Yeah,” I muttered, while she was beaming at me; her eyes sparkled with excitement. “I thought it was about time I got a new one.”

Honestly, I didn’t want one. They were usually the first things that got broken whenever I lost control of my wolf, so eventually, I stopped buying them. But then I overheard Dina the other day, saying that she missed having a TV because she had to watch all her favorite shows on her 4-inch phone. So, I went out and bought a 50” flat screen. And if I was being honest, the excitement on her face made even my wolf light up like a lighthouse.

Worth it!

“Are movie nights allowed?” she asked, almost tripping with suppressed excitement.

“Sure,” I replied, and she jumped right up, doing her usual happy dance. She had a very nice ass for that, I might add. “But I don’t have a N*****x account.”

“It’s OK, I always use Rita’s anyway,” she quickly reassured me, making me arch an eyebrow in question at her.

“Is that even legal?” I had to ask, having no clue what she was talking about. I had a diploma in IT science, but I rarely used it for anything but handling my accounting business. And yes, that was my "human job" and it was boring as hell. I’d much rather be a full-time alpha, but living off the money the pack was paying me, just didn’t sit right with me. Instead, I invested the money wisely and carefully, which had accumulated into a small fortune over the years. That money went into the maintenance of the pack and everything else we needed for the pack to run smoothly.

“If you don’t tell, I won’t,” Dina winked with a playful smirk. I couldn’t help but smile back. She was so innocent, yet sexy and sensual at the same time, I---

I cursed again when I almost dropped the TV from ogling her. Hey, don’t judge! It was hard handling a screwdriver and holding up a TV at the same time, damn it. Why did I buy a TV to hang on the wall again?!

“Need a hand?” Dina asked carefully, making her way over. I really didn’t like her helping; this was supposed to be a "man"-thing after all. And alphas really HATE asking/accepting help. But even I knew when I was beaten! Begrudgingly, I handed her the screwdriver and let her take over the manual labor while I did the heavy lifting.

She smiled, accepted the tool, and climbed up the chair, placing herself right next to me. OK, so maybe this wasn’t all bad. I mean, I loved the way she always stuck her tongue out when she concentrated on something. It was cute. Then there was her scent, which fully engulfed me with her being so close. The fresh scent of lavender and newly cut grass had my wolf purring like a damned cat, making this my new favorite scent of all time.

And I certainly didn’t mind the view!

Her top had gotten stuck in one of the corners, pulling it down and revealing a large top section of her breasts. Damn it! I wanted to reach over and caress the soft, warm skin. My mind wondered what it would feel like, to kiss and suck on them. What it would feel like to have my tongue curling around her nipples and gently biting down on them. Hearing her moan beneath me and arch her back, her body completely covered by mine---

My phone rang, pulling me out of my sexual fantasy. I murmured another low curse, hoping Dine wouldn’t notice the rather large and embarrassing bulge in my pants. Or smell the scent of my own arousal that wafted through the air...

Shit!

I fished the phone out of my pocket and answered when I saw it was one of the trackers. They’d located another rogue camp and, once again, I heard the all too familiar story by now. Vampires took their loved ones and threatened to kill them if they didn’t cooperate. But as always, no one knew what the vampires wanted.

So, that explained the rogues, I mentally snarled at the phone, putting it away. But what the hell did the vampires want? What had Dylan gotten himself into? And did it endanger my pack or was it all just a coincidence? I rubbed the brim of my nose in frustration. Perhaps I should concentrate more of my efforts on finding him---?

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt someone's gaze on me. I glanced down, only to catch Dian’s eyes roaming over my upper torso and arms. She swallowed thickly, still not realizing that I'd caught her ogling me.

And damn, did that make a man feel good!

Her arousal mixed with my own and it almost knocked me off the chair. It was rich and thick, and I was almost sorry that I'd worn a T-shirt today. Perhaps if I showed her what I could give her, she'd let go of Mick and come to me instead. I wanted that, more than anything. And while I didn't want to hurt my brother, I found that with this female, I was becoming increasingly selfish. I wanted her all for myself. Her scent, her smiles, her time---

Seeing her admire my physic, I couldn't help myself but flexed them purposefully. With a startled gasp, it brought her out of whatever wet daydream she'd had.

And boy, was she wet!

Her arousal had my wolf go crazy and I had to bite down a growl.

Damn this girl…

She quickly looked away; her face all flushed red in embarrassment. Served her right, for getting me rock-hard and doing nothing about it…

“See something you like?” I teased, hoping she’d look back at me. I just wanted to see those beautiful green eyes of hers. Just---

“I’ll tell you if I see anything,” she quickly retorted and pretended to be occupied with the task at hand, completely ignoring me.

A sinking feeling settled in my stomach.

She was with Mick and while I was hoping to win her over, she might not be so eager to betray the bond she and Mick were building. Perhaps she even hated that she was attracted to me and---

Fuck!

I suddenly felt disgusted with myself, for thinking the way I did. This was Dina we were talking about. She was innocent, pure, and - above all else - loyal. No matter how much she might desire me, she wouldn't betray Mick. I had a feeling she would never betray the person she loved. She wasn't a power-hungry she-wolf, ready to jump ship for the next best thing. And I hated this feeling that, for the first time in my life, being the alpha didn't work in my favor...

Damn it!
