Later that evening I stood in front of their places at 4:45. I don’t want to enter either house. I just look at the Alpha’s place and pray that this goes over smoothly. I groan as I head to his door. I give a light knock.
After a moment the door opens. He looks me over. “That is not what I told you to wear.”
I look down at my outfit. I had changed, but into a pair of sweatpants and a baggy sweater. “What do you mean? There is nothing sexier than sweatpants.” I grinned at him. Completely un-phased by his comment. I knew this is not even close to what he meant. But I get to have the upper hand here.
“Whatever, come in.” I can tell he is disappointed but I am not giving him the wrong impression of me. I am not the type of Omega to just jump into bed with any wolf of rank to try to get a better lot in life. That is typical of many Omegas but not me. Contrary to what the rumors say about me.
He takes me upstairs to his bedroom. I look around the room for a desk or some place to sit but all I see is his bed. He sits on the bed and pulls his text book into his lap that he already had laying on his bed. Then he pats the bed next to him.
I ignore this gesture and head to the wall opposite the bed and slide to the floor with my back against the wall.
“Why do you have to make everything more difficult?” He rolls his eyes at me.
“Whatever do you mean?” I give him a false smile.
“It is better for us to work together if you sit by me.” He smirks as he waits for me to move, he knows if he waits long enough I will move. I am just trying to convince him otherwise.
“I think it would be best if I sit over here.”
“No, come sit with me.” It sounds final. He isn’t going to hear any further protests.
I sigh and rise from the floor. I know we are not going to get anywhere if I don’t at least give him an inch. I sit on the bed as far away from him as possible. However, I quickly see that isn’t going to work when he reaches over and pulls me next to him.
“There, is that so bad?” I roll my eyes at him.
“Alright can we stop with the crap and get down to work please. I do have to leave at 6:45 to make it to my next stop of the evening.” I open my text book and lay it on my lap.
“Where are you going?” He honestly looks inquisitive.
“I can see why you need a tutor.” I ignore the look, it isn’t any of his business. If his Beta didn’t tell him then I sure the hell am not. It might just be another reason for the Beta to be pissed at me.
“Why is that?”
“You are easily distracted.” I shrug, it sounds like a good answer.
“Actually I multi-task just fine.” He leans over and places his hand on my lower back and leans to my ear. “How are you with distractions?” It comes out as almost a whisper. It sounds very sensual. I have to control my breathing before he can tell that I get the meaning of what he is saying. My body is reacting regardless of what my brain is telling it.
“I am just fine.” I started to read the chapter aloud so that we can go over it together. As I am reading his hand finds his way under my sweater to start rubbing the small of my back. I jumped up.
“I guess you can’t handle distractions as well as you thought.” He grins at me. He knows he got to me. Fuck.
“Look do you really need a tutor or are you just fucking with me?” I want out of here, if he is just fucking with me I need to leave.
“Why can’t it be both?” He cocks his head at me like it is an honest question.
“Look, I am not that kind of girl. I don’t just jump into bed with anyone that comes along.”
He stands and glides over to me, I back away until I hit the wall. There he pins me in by placing both arms around my body. “Did I say you were that kind of girl? Just because I find you interesting doesn’t mean that I am some man whore who sleeps with any Omega.” He leans in more. “However, I will play with you. I find you very interesting and I want to see how you work.” His tongue flicks out and licks my neck.
Great just my luck, not only is he an asshole but he’s a pervert too. I rub my hand over where he licked to get his saliva off of me. I put my hands on his chest and pushed him back. It takes some effort on my part because he is stronger than me. I can feel him going easy on me but also his body feels a little surprised at the strength I have.
“I am not a toy. I do not want to be played with. Do you want me to tutor you or not?” I look him right in the eye. This is not a good idea but I really am pissed at this point. For him to think I am just something to play with pisses me off.
He looks at me for a few minutes to the point where I feel uncomfortable. “I need you as my tutor. I want to do well in my classes. I promise for tonight I will keep my hands to myself.” He smiles to himself. I don’t know if this is a remark to tonight, or if he just plans on putting his hands on me again.
“Alright, have a seat.” He sits and waits for me to sit next to him. I sit next to him but I keep a little distance.
As I continue to read the chapter I see him watching me. I don’t know what I did to deserve this but I am highly irritated by the time that I end the chapter. Not only has he been watching me, but also inching closer to close the gap all through the chapter.
“Do you have any questions?”
Finally he looks away from me. “Well, I am just really not good with terms. I think I got this chapter. There weren’t very many terms in it.” He looks at the book as if to really contemplate if he has questions.
“You were listening.” I am a little surprised that he was.
“I told you I could multitask.”
“Then why were you staring at me if you didn’t have any questions?” I hope I can just get it all out in the open so next time it can be more like an actual study session.
He looks at me as if to decide if he should answer. “I am honestly just trying to figure you out. You are not like other girls and definitely not like other Omegas.”
“I will take that as a compliment. I don’t want to be like them. I want to get where I am going on my own. I don’t need some high ranking wolf to take me to bed to gain what I need out of life.” I close my book and shove it in my bag.
He laughs. I mean full belly laugh. I don’t really know what to say. I am just telling the truth. I wasn’t trying to be funny.
“You are a riot. I think we get along just fine. I know I gave you a hard time this morning. I’m sorry. I just, you know, was feeding off the frenzy that was going around. I will make sure that my pack leaves you alone. They will listen to me. I really want to have you continue to work with me on my lessons. I can honestly use all the help I can get. My father expects a lot and I don’t want to disappoint him.”
“You know that could be your problem right there.” I go to stand when I say this. I don’t really want to insult him. I am not trying to make it sound like one either.
“What?” He actually looks like he wants to know.
“You could be so worried about your fathers approval that you are not able to actually focus on what you are learning. Maybe try some relaxing techniques before school or something. If you are more relaxed then you will probably be fine. What relaxes you?” I am making sure that everything is in my bag as I look around for my highlighter. I don’t want to make eye contact with Peter.
“Well, there is this one thing.” He raises his eyebrows at me suggestively. I just manage to catch it as I look at him with his response.
“I am not doing that.” I state firmly.
“Running relaxes me.” He smiles. “Girl get your mind out of the gutter. Do you want to go running with me in the morning before school? I could use the company.” He sounds sincere.
“Which form?” I still am giving nothing away as to whether I will say yes to no.
“Human, can you shift? I know some Omega’s can’t.” He asks honestly. Not as anything bad but as an inquiry, nothing more.
“I can. Someday I will show you. For now I will run with you in the mornings. I think relaxing will help you. I will be here at about five, will that work?” I finally find the elusive highlighter.
“Yeah, plenty of time. We will be the five o’clock buddies. Five am and pm.” He smiles at his own joke. Not really funny but I’m not going to correct him.
“Look, I have to get going. I don’t want to be late for the next appointment. I don’t think it will be good for me.” I kind of make a weird face as I say it. It was really involuntary.
“If they give you trouble just tell me and I will take care of them.” He gets up and heads to the bedroom door to open it for me. His comment actually makes me laugh. Like he would yell at his own Beta for giving me shit. I am sure they are best buds. I go to pass him as I head to the door. He reaches out his arm to grab mine, stopping me in my tracks.
“I mean it. I will be here to help you. Quid pro Quo.” His smile is really nice. What the fuck Olivia, this guy was just trying to beat the crap out of you this morning.
I look up at him. “Thanks Peter. I appreciate the offer. I can take care of myself though. I have been doing it for a while now.”
“Your mate is going to be really lucky. You wont give him much work.” He almost sounds disappointed.
I half smiled, “Yeah, sure.”
Then I head out.
